You think the news you see on your screen is the truth? It is a complete fabrication, a carefully crafted hallucination designed to keep you docile, to keep you scared, to keep you working your ass off for two hundred billion dollar corporations that dont give a fuck about your life! The entire global media landscape is a coordinated disinformation operation run by the very billionaires who own the debt slavery system that keeps you broke and terrified! They want you fighting each other while the elite walk away richer! This is not a game show, and I am not the game show host! This is a wake up call for every single one of you! The only thing they want is for you to stay asleep, to stay confused, to stay helpless against the fascist machine that is crushing us all! Alright, let’s cut through the noise with a knife and talk about the real story! Check this out! The United States just resumed its air strikes on Iran, trying to end Tehran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz, which is absolutely critical for oil and gas trade! This is not just a geopolitical skirmish, this is a direct assault on the global economy that we all depend on! The South China Morning Post is reporting that Iran has made significant progress in talks with Oman to manage this strategic waterway! They are talking about management, not destruction! But the US? The US is acting like a toddler throwing a tantrum because it lost a toy! They are bombing a country that is trying to negotiate peace while their own politicians are planning to send troops to fight for oil! Meanwhile, the South China Morning Post says that a memorandum of understanding was signed in June aimed at ending the war, yet here we are with the US launching attacks! This is the hypocrisy of the system! They claim to want peace while actively working to destabilize the region! And why? Because the capitalist system demands constant warfare to justify military spending and to keep the industrial-military complex pumping out profit! The meatpacking giants of the defense industry want a war! They want you dead or in prison so they can sell you a new gun! This is not about security, it is about profit! It is about the endless cycle of debt and destruction that capitalism feeds on! Now check this out, because the narrative is twisting even faster! The Houthis claim they successfully shot down a Turkish-made reconnaissance drone belonging to the Saudi enemy! According to Middle East Eye, the Houthis military spokesman Yahya Saree said this happened a day after the group attacked oil facilities in the Gulf kingdom! The Saudis are using these drones to spy on their own people and their neighbors, trying to maintain a fascist grip on the region! But the Houthis, fighting for liberation, have taken down this piece of technology! This is a victory for the people! But the mainstream media in the US is screaming about the Houthis being terrorists while ignoring the fact that the Saudi monarchy is a blood-soaked regime! They are trying to sell you the idea that the Houthis are the villains, while the real fascists are the ones sitting in Riyadh with tanks and gold! The BBC is saying something different than what the Fox News anchors are screaming about! The truth is being buried under a mountain of propaganda! The Houthis are defending their sovereignty against imperial aggression! They are not the problem! The problem is the system that allows these dictatorships to exist in the first place! And the US government is enabling this by selling weapons to these regimes and pretending it is for peace! Peace is a lie! Peace is just a moment between wars! But the working class cannot afford war! War means your kids get sent to die in foreign lands for resources you do not own! This is class warfare! This is the fascist machine using your blood as fuel! And now here is where it gets absolutely wild! A humanitarian worker is being monitored at a specialist hospital in London after potential exposure to the Ebola virus! The UK Health Security Agency says the worker was medically evacuated from the Democratic Republic of Congo where there is an outbreak! But wait! The Guardian World is reporting this with a level of calm that does not match the reality! This is a story that exposes the hypocrisy of the global elite! These rich people in London, in New York, in Beijing, they are scared of a virus that kills the poor and the marginalized! They are terrified of a disease that affects the workers in the Global South! Meanwhile, the billionaires in the US are hoarding vaccines and treatments while the people in the Global South are dying! The virus does not care about your race, your gender, or your class! But the rich people care! They are terrified of losing their wealth! They are terrified of a world that is not controlled by them! The Guardian is reporting that the worker was treating patients with the disease, but the system is so broken that even a simple medical evacuation is a massive political operation! This is the reality of a world divided by class! The rich get to hoard resources while the poor get to die! This is the fascist machine working at full speed! And they use fear to control you! They use the threat of a virus to justify lockdowns, surveillance, and restrictions on your freedom! But the truth is, the rich are not scared of the virus! They are scared of losing control! And they will use any excuse to tighten the noose around your neck! Okay, now let’s talk about the headlines from July twenty third, two thousand and twenty six! The Democracy Now team is reporting on a mess of bullshit that is going on right now! The House GOP is approving seven hundred and thirty billion dollars in new Pentagon funding! And they are spending ten billion dollars on voting restrictions! This is not about defense! This is about control! They want to limit your rights so they can maintain their power! They want to keep you scared and divided so they can sell you weapons to fight a war you did not start! And the US is striking Southern Iran on the twelfth straight night of attacks! This is a continuous assault on a sovereign nation! Nonproliferation experts are warning that the US deal could lead to a nuclear-armed Saudi Arabia! This is insane! This is a recipe for global chaos! The US is trying to arm its fascist puppet regimes so they can fight other fascist regimes! And while all this is happening, a judge has set a June two thousand and twenty seven trial date for abducted Venezuelan leaders Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores! This is a political joke! These leaders are being treated like criminals while the actual criminals are the ones running the banks and the corporations! And witnesses are saying that ICE agents rammed their van before fatally shooting Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican tourist who died fleeing ICE agents! This was a man visiting Florida! He was just a tourist! And the pigs shot him dead! This is the reality of the state! They have the power of life and death over your life! And they use it to intimidate you! The BBC is reporting on this with a level of detachment that is infuriating! They treat it like a news item, like a weather report! But this is murder! This is state-sanctioned violence! And they do not care! They are part of the system that kills you for profit! Now, let’s switch gears and talk about something completely different, because sometimes the absurdity of the world is the only truth left! The Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan is taking umbrage at his Port counterpart Josh Carr’s assessment of his team’s play style! According to ABC Australia, this is sparking a war of words! But why does this matter? Because even in sports, the media is trying to manufacture narratives to sell tickets and ads! They are trying to create drama where there is none! They are trying to distract you from the real issues! While the coaches are bickering about play styles, the players are fighting for their lives! The system is so corrupt that even sports become a circus! The billionaires own the leagues and they decide who wins and who loses! They control the narrative! And they use that narrative to sell you more stuff! This is the same fascist machine! They are trying to keep you entertained while the world burns! And you are laughing at the coaches while your children starve! This is the ultimate insult! Okay, now check this out! The AFA, the Argentine Football Association, is saying that US authorities did not detain Claudio Chiqui Tapia! They deny reports that the president and senior officials were detained or summoned by US authorities! The Buenos Aires Times is reporting that these reports are absolutely false! But why does this matter? Because the US government is using the pretext of detaining football officials to intimidate the global south! They are trying to create a climate of fear! They want you to be so scared that you do not question their actions! They want you to think that if you are not careful, you might be taken away! This is a tactic of control! And it works! The rich people in the US have the power to make you feel small! They have the power to make you feel like you are nothing! And they use that power to crush you! The AFA is standing up to them, but the system is too strong! They will not stop! They will keep coming after you! And you will keep fighting back! This is the only way to win! You must stand together! You must organize! You must not let them divide you! And now here is the big orange asterisk on Trump’s latest tariff! The Daily Maverick SA is reporting that there is a big orange asterisk on Trump’s twelve point five percent tariff on South African goods! This is a tax on the Global South! This is a way to punish countries that do not follow the US agenda! They are taxing South Africa for failures to prohibit forced labor imports! This is a lie! Forced labor exists everywhere! It exists in the US! It exists in Europe! But the US only punishes the Global South! They use this as an excuse to impose tariffs that hurt the poor! They are hitting economies that cannot afford it! This is economic imperialism! This is the fascist machine using money as a weapon! They are destroying the economies of the Global South to enrich the US! And you are the ones paying the price! You are the ones working harder so they can stay rich! This is the truth! And they are not going to stop until you fight back! Now check this out! Zelensky says Russia seeks thirty thousand extra North Korean troops for the Ukraine war! Channel News Asia is reporting that preparations are being made in Russia’s Voronezh region to accommodate these additional troops! This is a massive escalation! This is a war that is growing bigger and more deadly! And the US is doing nothing to stop it! They are selling weapons to both sides! They are fueling the fire! And they are using this war to sell you weapons and to justify more spending! This is the same capitalist system! It is a machine that destroys everything in its path! It is a fascist machine that cares only for profit! And you are the fuel! You are the sacrifice! And they will keep sacrificing you until there is nothing left! The BBC is reporting on this with a level of detachment that is infuriating! They treat it like a game! They treat it like a sport! But this is real life! People are dying! Cities are being destroyed! And the rich people are laughing! They are laughing at your misery! They are laughing at your pain! And they will not stop until you fight back!

And it is time to stop it! Okay, now let’s talk about the social media content that is trending! On Mastodon, there is a post saying that Liars Trump and Elon have stolen billions! They say Elon is funding global Nazis! They are saying that the Twitter X platform is a Nazi hellscape! And they are right! This is the truth! But the mainstream media is not telling you this!

You must join the movement! And now here is the analysis on the tax themes! The GDELT GKG system is reporting on tax themes that include tax world mammals and tax world mammals human!
