GUTTER GOSPEL by GENERAL LABOR

“Congress, which only has 13% job approval, moves to ban Tiktok in order to silence the speech of Americans who expose their crimes

This is what tyranny looks like” (-Revolutionary Blackout Network)

“I do not find the world of politics to be fun, or entertaining, or even interesting

All I want to do is play my bass, pet my cats, and know the future will be ok for my kids My eldest turns 21 today. Her future is not secure with the status quo, so I have to put down the guitar” (-Jason Call Green Party)

“When the issue is genocide, HELL YES, people become single-issue voters.” (-Peter Daou)

GLENN GREENWALD

“Democrats talk about fascism under Trump while ignoring everything Biden is doing, from genocide to banning TikTok. And I hope people don’t think China needs TikTok to spy with the technology they have. Amazing how people fall for this stuff. Our government is a bigger threat.” (-Bruce P. Knight)

“They banned TikTok to cover up a genocide” (-Marrrty B)

Nothing is done under capitalism because it’s right or good. It’s done because it’s profitable.” (-Something About Hairy)

“Most of Gaza’s mosques, churches, museums, heritage sites, cultural centers, schools, universities, and libraries have been destroyed and reduced to nothing but rubble.

“The American gvmnt will protect you from TikTok, while they watch you die from no health care,no affordable housing and no reproductive freedoms-while you work 50 hours a week, at $7.25/hr, to survive a 40yr high inflation, while witnessing a genocide, on a planet that’s burning.” (-Thia Ballerina)

I JUST CAN’T BE HAPPY TODAY

Good morning, all my brothers and sisters and friends of the revolution! Today’s another anxious work day for the pessimistic old antisocial, social distancing glamarchist in the deadend desert so I’m sorta filled with dread and stress and gotta go do two sinks fulla dishes and take out the garbage and get the laundry ready before I have to go clean a house. I’d like to reconevene with some wayward old pirate lords and record some raggedy odes to freedom but that aint gonna happen today, or probably anytime soon. Sending revolutionary love and solidarity to everyone in the people’s struggle against fascism and genocide. Long live the resistance. (-The General)

The amount of outright lying going on right now about the TikTok bill is unusual even by Washington, DC standards. They’re about to pass one of the most momentous acts of state censorship in US history, and they continue to lie and insist they’re not actually doing this. Congress is fast-tracking the TikTok ban because the longer there’s an open debate, the more opposition is likely to grow — so they’re trying to get it passed hyper-quickly, before too much public awareness develops of the bill’s speech-abridging provisions.The bill doesn’t just ban TikTok. It also creates a new unilateral authority for the President to ban any app or website he deems a “national security threat” because it’s controlled by a “foreign adversary,” which includes not just China but also Russia, North Korea, and Iran” (-Michael Tracey)

“When the US imperial government starts saying that something is a security risk, they don’t mean it is a risk to the personal security of Americans, they mean it is a risk to the security of their own corrupt and tenuous hold on power. Although the Congressional TikTok freakout might seem unconnected to Gaza, it is all part of the same general panic by an ossified ruling elite that has lost its ability to control information.” (-Dan Kervick)

“The same democrats screaming that we have to support Biden to stop fascism are in full support of banning an entire platform used for open criticism of our fascist government” (-Elon Musk is a white superacist)

“that US politicians haven’t stepped in to stop the genocide just to save their own image shows that that they are fully committed to keeping the US public in the dark as they destroy our standing on the world stage… there is no coming back from this… it is terminal treason” (-Daniel)

“The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied but written off as trash.”

“After 158 days of horror and genocide, the only acceptable action by Genocide Joe is to stop all financial and military aid to Israel, demand a permanent ceasefire and a free Palestine. After over 30,000 Palestinian people martyred, anything less than that is the bare minimum and completely irresponsible.” (-Claudia De La Cruz)

“How afraid is AIPAC of TikTok?

They got their puppets in Congress to fast-track this legislation. And why are they afraid? Because AIPAC & Israel can’t control it. And people are seeing the truth about Palestine. Especially young people.” (-Empire Of Lies)

“Anyone who insults, mocks, or accuses you of lying because you’re upset with Biden’s handling of COVID, or rent, food, and jobs, with his anti-immigrant bigotry, complicity in genocide, is someone who is angry you’re disturbing their blissful ignorance. They’re bad people.” (-Red Martain Lenin)

“The White House strategy on Gaza currently boils down to this:

1. Continue the flow of weapons and other support to Israel to continue its campaign of war crimes against the Palestinians trapped in a killing cage 2. Make a big public display of how frustrated Biden is with his “great, great friend” of 40+ years, Netanyahu, in an effort to eventually promote a narrative that it was Netanyahu that was out of control and Biden tried to reign him in, rather than the truth, which is that this is a deliberately genocidal war waged by the Israeli state with the full backing of Biden 3. Lead the public to believe Biden is drawing a “red line” while simultaneously refusing to use the substantial powers and influence of the US presidency to actually confront Israel’s war crimes, which continue to be supported by the U.S.” (-Jeremy Scahill)”

There is no greater spreader of misinformation, disinformation and propaganda than the U.S. Govt and media.
