Biden Lets Ukraine Strike Russia With US Weapons While Ukraine Attacks Russian Nuclear Defenses
31/05/2024 Duration: 04minWell it finally happened: Biden is now letting Ukraine strike Russian territory with US-supplied weapons. Escalations in nuclear brinkmanship which would have been unthinkable a few short years ago are becoming increasingly common as Ukraine loses more and more territory and runs out of soldiers to fight. Reading by Tim Foley.

Why Celebrities Aren't Speaking Up About Gaza
30/05/2024 Duration: 04minFor the last eight months people have been expressing frustration and confusion about the reluctance of celebrities to use their immense platforms to speak out against the US-backed slaughter in Gaza. But it's not really a mystery why this happens: celebrities are reluctant to criticize the US-centralized empire because they benefit from it directly. Reading by Tim Foley.

Mass Slaughtering Civilians To Stop Terrorism
29/05/2024 Duration: 05minRemember kids, Israel HAS to bomb hospitals and starve Gaza and incinerate children and shoot people waving white flags and assassinate doctors and journalists and commit daily massacres of civilians, because if it doesn't do this the region will be dominated by evil terrorists. Reading by Tim Foley.

The US Is Discrediting All Arguments For Why It Should Lead The World
28/05/2024 Duration: 06minOne by one, the US empire is discrediting all of its own arguments for why it should lead the world. All the violence, tyranny and injustice it claims to be keeping at bay with its globe-dominating leadership is being inflicted by the empire itself, in more and more brazen and egregious ways each year. Reading by Tim Foley.

There Was A Time
27/05/2024 Duration: 02minIt's hard to believe there was a time when I didn't know what a child's insides look like. That I didn't know how limp babies' limbs go when they are dead, when they are missing parts of their body, missing their head, limbs dangling lifeless as parents hold them in front of the camera, screaming, crying, pleading, desperate. There was a time when I didn't know how it feels to watch a man scream "Free Palestine" while burning alive, until there was nothing left to scream with and he lost his voice forever, but still by some power remained standing long after his voice was gone. I didn't used to know just how sadistic people can be, how hateful they can be, how apathetic they can be toward the suffering of human beings, or how heroic others can be in times of great need. I didn't used to know. Now I do. And now I sit here, head heavy like lead, tongue limp like a baby's corpse, hands feeling older than the stars, and I don't know what to do. There is nothing I can say to make this okay. There is nothing I can

Israel Massacres Children, Which The Western Press Says Is Fine
27/05/2024 Duration: 04minAnyone who's been following the Gaza genocide on social media today will be seeing this phrase "legally killed child" alongside footage of children ripped apart by Israeli military explosives in a civilian displacement camp. Reading by Tim Foley.

It's Actually Amazing How Stupid The Propaganda Is Getting
26/05/2024 Duration: 04minIt's actually amazing how stupid the propaganda has gotten. Bombing kids and hospitals is self-defense. An extremely blatant ethnic cleansing campaign is actually a war. A few western Zionist Jews saying they feel unsafe on campus is a more urgent concern than an active genocide. Reading by Tim Foley.

Like So Much Else, The Fuss Over 'International Law' Is Really About Narrative Control
25/05/2024 Duration: 06min"That’s why you see US and Israeli officials raging and fuming about the actions of the ICJ and the ICC. It’s not because they’re worried those courts will be able to enforce the rulings they make, it’s because it weakens their control of the narrative." Reading by Tim Foley.

Meanwhile, We're Still WAY Too Close To Nuclear Armageddon
24/05/2024 Duration: 04minWhile the antiwar zeitgeist has been quite understandably focused on the genocide in Gaza, over the past few weeks we've been seeing some very disturbing reports about empire managers ramping up nuclear brinkmanship escalations in Ukraine that are worth going over. Reading by Tim Foley.

If You Can't Even Elect A Candidate Who'll End A Genocide, How Real Is Your "Democracy"?
23/05/2024 Duration: 05minAnd this just says so much about the nature of this "democracy" - a word which literally means "rule by the people". If the people were actually in charge, there would be some option available to them to end the worst thing happening in the world right now. But the people are not in charge. When it comes to matters of the most importance, they never get a vote. Reading by Tim Foley.

It's Not Unusual That We're Being Lied To, It's Unusual That People Are Noticing
22/05/2024 Duration: 06minIt's important to understand that there's nothing unusual about the western empire's depravity in Gaza or the mass media's constant lies and distortions about it - they do these things constantly, year after year. What's unusual is that people are waking up to it. Reading by Tim Foley.

The Problem Isn't Civil Disobedience, It's Civil Obedience
21/05/2024 Duration: 04minOur problem is not that more and more people are opposing Israel's empire-backed atrocities in Gaza with more and more aggression, our problem is that people are not opposing it aggressively enough. Our problem is that too many people still have their minds jacked into the mainstream worldview and ignore the most urgent matter of our time, letting their thoughts be preoccupied with frivolous garbage and trusting that our leaders are doing what's best for us. Reading by Tim Foley.

The US Empire Deliberately Stokes Hatred And Violence In The Middle East
15/05/2024 Duration: 03minIt's actually a brilliant self-reinforcing scam. It works like this: Step 1: Murder people in the middle east in the name of fighting "terrorism". Step 2: This causes people to hate you and your allies and to want to retaliate with violence. Step 3: Designate these people "terrorists". Step 4: Send more war machinery to the region to go fight "terrorism". Step 5: Murder more people in the middle east in the name of fighting "terrorism". Do you see how this cycle would repeat over and over again, leading to more and more US military expansionism in the middle east? That's exactly what we've been seeing, and it's exactly what the US empire wants. Reading by Tim Foley.

I Criticize The US Power Alliance Because It's The Most Destructive Force On Earth
14/05/2024 Duration: 06minI don't spend my time attacking the US war machine because I have any special love for Hamas, Iran, Russia, China, or any other power. I do it because the US empire is quantifiably the most destructive and tyrannical force on this planet, by an extremely massive margin. Reading by Tim Foley.

When Your Rulers Ignore Voters But Are Terrified Of Protesters, That Tells You Something
12/05/2024 Duration: 05minWhen nobody in power will lift a finger to earn your vote but they're falling all over themselves trying to stomp out a robust protest movement, that tells you what the powerful are actually afraid of and where you should really be focusing your political energy. Reading by Tim Foley.

Using A Fictional Antisemitism Crisis To Support A Real Genocide
11/05/2024 Duration: 08min"It's like responding to warnings of another holocaust by babbling about Sauron." Reading by Tim Foley.

When Opposing Genocide Is Seen As Radical, Radicalism Becomes A Moral Imperative
10/05/2024 Duration: 04minIsrael supporters are such psychopathic war sluts that they're currently shrieking their lungs out at Biden for making a purely symbolic face-saving statement that he won't give Israel the weapons to annihilate Rafah, despite the fact that he has already given Israel all the weapons it would need to annihilate Rafah. Reading by Tim Foley.

Empire Managers Explain Why This New Protest Movement Scares Them
09/05/2024 Duration: 07minDon’t let anyone tell you your protests don’t make a difference or your dissident speech poses no threat to the powerful. If what you’re doing wasn’t working, empire managers wouldn’t be losing their minds right now. Reading by Tim Foley.

Opposing The War Machine Is Cool Again, And The Empire's Getting Nervous
08/05/2024 Duration: 03minWhat are they going to do, win the young back by writing another Wall Street Journal think piece? Have Netanyahu rap about how Zionism is rad while Tony Blinken plays guitar? They’ve got nothing. Reading by Tim Foley.
