“It’s hard to get a guy offa Wall street!” (-Johnny Thunders)
“We need more people to understand class consciousness. This means that we come to an understanding that the real “war” is the 1% ruling class against the 99% of us- the poor and working class!!!” (-Jory Micah)
“Just as they did during the Iraq War, America’s jingoistic press outlets bear a major responsibility for this unnecessary war that has ravaged Ukraine and killed some 315,000 Ukrainians. Rather than seeking to contextualize events properly for their readers, the U.S. media systematically deceived Americans about the causes and course of the war while faithfully parroting the Neocon propaganda narrative.” (-Robert F. Kennedy Jr.)
“In the days we thought would never end, we’d never hesitate to help a friend, we had important messages to send and we knew we’d win but then, we didn’t…” (-Paul K. & The Weathermen)
Clinton was an imperialist. Bush Jr. was an imperialist. Obama was an imperialist. Trump was an imperialist. Biden is an imperialist. See a pattern? The US is run by sociopathic imperialists.” (-Danny Haiphong)
“Some will say this is a slippery slope but it’s a full-on avalanche. This is literally the ruling elite imprisoning those who don’t repeat their propaganda.” (-Lee Camp)
“People who’ve escaped psychologically abusive relationships tend to have a much better understanding of propaganda than people who haven’t, and tend to have a lot more sympathy for the victims of propaganda brainwashing.” (-Caitlin Johnstone)
“In a culture so divided it’s revolutionary just to talk and listen to people who think differently than you without judgement.
It’s not our fault we have ALL been programmed and propagandized our entire lives.” (-Jory Micah)
“The case against Julian Assange is intended to curtail free speech, criminalise journalism & frighten any future whistleblowers & publishers.” (- Karen Percy)
Am I just paranoid? It seems a recent political tactic in order to discredit a person/candidate/politician is to have someone on the “other side” vocalize support for them. It’s as if “they” are counting on an entire sector of the population rejecting said person based on that.” (-Human Bean)
We lived in a sucky, racist as fuck, tank plant town where the only businesses were jails, hospitals, graveyards and churches and three busy streets packed with cars racing to the fastfood drive throughs and bars anthe mall. I was a pedestrian which made me a slow moving target for getting hassled by stump dump football players and hometown karate bad guys and gun toting redneck males with Napoleonic stature issues, even some horrible adults who’d been watching Tipper Gore bleat on about the dangers of Darling Nikki and McDonna and Dee Snider and WASP on the Phil Donahue show, before he got kicked off the airwaves for being anti war. MSNBC made more money from selling wars than they did from Phil Donahue interviewing scolding spinster temperance league Karens from Washington elitist circles who were demanding their hubbies do more to control the thoughts of the peasants by censoring the media, which they certainly have accomplished in the thirty some years since. We had limited access to big city record stores-maybe twice a year we’d pile in a rusty car and make a pilgrimage to the college town main drag that had 5 glorious record stores and a pretty ace comicbook shop back in those days plus a really fab goth boutique that even hired midwestern goth hero Ronald Koal to sell us greasy hoodlum nobodies all our Bauhaus and Sisters Of Mercy postcards and t shirts and Creepers and spiky belts. We did not all have cable yet, so you’d spend Sundays with whatever friend whoses mom allowed guests on a schoolnight and stay up watching 120 Minutes on MTV. We had Creem magazine and beer and that was really all we thought we needed in life. A pair of peacock earrings and some mirrored sunglasses.
I guess I always loved the junk shop glam bands because they reminded me of when my own merry bands of post-punk weirdos were all still struttin’ down the boardwalk in our raggle taggle feathers and sequins, a stylist free spectacle rocky horror show to behold, all cheap as fuck, but tarted up to the max-one guy looked like Dee Snider in makeup, one looked like a chick, me in my best Pete Burns kabuki and fishnets and platform shoes and foot and a half high severely Aqua Netted Steve Stevens hair, a guitarist who looked like the Love Reaction, a cowboy heartthrob Marlboro Man on bass guitar, a skinhead drummer in perfectly immaculate and well ironed and polished creepers and braces, flight jacket and wifebeater and dogatgs and rolledup jeans uniform–we were some ragtag ruffians, somebody once said a cross between Turbonegro and the Village People. My first band was called Harlot and I remember reading about the Harlots of 42nd Street and Eric Emerson and the Magic Tramps in some early Blondie bio I checked out of the public library as a young teen-probably the one by Lester Bangs, but I’m not positive. Anyhows, I’ve always been on the look out for some Harlots relic and just found out Sundazed records has an unearthed album available!
It is pretty rad when your handsome and gigantic adult son and his girlfriend rent a car and stop by to visit with the old man down the road at his hermit adobe retreat far away from society in the desolate remote reigions of a deadend desert ghost planet on their way back to my olde Kin-tucky Home after seeing a big goth show in Vegas. The wildly improbable thing is how my beloved son ended up dating a post punk enthusiast who shares my love of many old eighties synth punk bands, etc., etc. They were both so smart and lovely, such good company, we had a dabba doo time and sang old songs by the fire-food and barbeque, Mexican beer and a fireworks display and my beautiful son entertained the guests with his circus performer fire twirling, he runs regional burningman parties so he has some expertise and background in safety and building stuff-even installed an A/C into my garage art hideout. What fun. I hope we get a chance to do it again someday. One of my best nights in decades, for sure. Now it has been a bit painful to adjust back to the gruelling responsibilities of parenting and paying bills and taking on more side hustles involving moving and hauling and cherry picking through mountains of old stuff and sometimes finding something with some slight resell value. Meanwhile, I resumed my age old campaign to summon back some of the last few surviving members of my crash and burn glam gangs-I am asking you once more to help once more get the Songs On Tape, but they gotta want it as much as I do, so I’ve also reached out to some locals who were supposed to perform at my spontaneous soiree in the prodigial son’s honor, but came down with the Covid and had to cancel last minute, when they get better, maybe we’ll commence the mssion to save rocknroll for the generations to come, some of whom are being fooled with all that fucking awful Agenda Muzak being assempby line produced by industry sickos who work for the WEF-every genre and platform gets corrupted, disrupted, infiltarted and weaponized by the billionaires-you notice that, yet? Or are you still clinging stubbornly to your trains on time coincidence theories? Either way, like Carlin said, it ain’t gonna get better cause the Eye In The Sky Owners don’t want a critical thinking, healthy population. They want to consolidate even more power and control over even more aspects of our lives with the facial recognition tech rollouts and robodogs and fascist laws against protest and free speech. The squad and all the gutless, awful fake progressives are even calling for get this…MORE CENSORSHIP. All they have to run on now is “Orange Man Bad” and repating over and over how RFK Jr. is a Conspiarcy Theorist. That’s it-they are all Republikkkan warhawks promoting a lockstep Gates Reset fascist police state, so I don’t get baffled by their vacant feelgoodist justice tweets-I pay attention to how they vote and they all vote however the Davos donor class bad guys instructs them to.
“They Don’t Care About Us” is how Michal put it, but I believe it’s much worse than that. I believe they actively target anyone who is not an active particpant in promoting their agenda which they’ve told us over and over again is a cashless society, depopulation, and one government to rule them all. So yeah, I see all this goin’ on but still snatch some blissful moments of birdsong and communing with loved ones and raging against the dying of the light. I hope you do, too. Nothing they say on tv is really real. Russiagate was a scam, so was 9/11. On and on…Sometimes all that makes me happy is a bottle and the Jesus & Mary Chain on LOUD.
“Why is it supposed to be irrational for Trump to say he want to the dying to stop in Ukraine? Chickenhawk liberals have gone absolutely mad. And remember, these hypocrites are the first ones talking about gun violence. Folks, you cannot understand a piece of legislation called the “Assad Anti-Normalization Act” that threatens “governments considering normalization with the Syria through an anti-imperialism lens only. This legislation is an example of the “psychopathology” of white supremacy. Today we salute mothers but we must also remember in the U.S. African/Black working class women have infant & maternal death rates double that of whites, that democrats played games with Child Tax Credit that sent 6 million children back to poverty. We celebrate this day by recommitting ourselves to the struggle for reproductive justice as human rights & the struggle to end the barbaric capitalist system that produces these contradictions.
Democrats kill child tax credit, funneled billions into expanded policing, pushing for armed intervention into Haiti that will result in thousands of deaths, and indict Black activists for opposing war in Ukraine. Both parties uphold white power. Israel is engaged in the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians without a peep of protest from the Biden administration.” (-Ajamu Baraka)
“Nuland is on a recording picking Ukraine’s new Gov’t before the 2014 coup
US then assists in the coup and installs an anti-Russia Gov’t Graham and McCain in Ukraine promise them help going on the offensive against Russia, after a signed Peace Agreement
The US provoked this war. If Russia helped overthrow the Gov’t of Mexico, replaced it with a Gov’t that hates America, who started shelling their American speaking population and then Russia armed Mexico, how long would it take for the US to go to war?
Russia waited and tried to negotiate for 8 years. Too many Americans deep down believe that our country is the “Good guy”, and if their Party had complete control things would be better.” (-Black In The Empire) “
I’ve been alive 33 years. In all of them, the living standards of ordinary people stagnated or declined. Over the same period, the US has been at war and as many as seven for the last decade. But sure, keep blaming Russia and/or China for the US’s problems.” (-Danny Haiphong)
“They want to divide The People in every way imaginable. Race, nationality, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, job, and any kind of political ideation. They segment us, douse us in identity politics, then direct us to hate other “teams.” “Your neighbor is your enemy! The government that lied to you about Trump-Russia collusion is the same government that is lying you about what is happening in Ukraine.
It is the same government that lied to you about JFK, RFK, MLK, Vietnam, 9/11, Iraqi WMD, COVID & J6.
We are the nation being propagandized. What is truly scary is that there is no one in establishment Western politics calling for any form of de-escalation or even caution.
“We can shoot down Russia’s missiles!” is now our rallying cry.
Anyone suggesting that a nuclear war cannot be won is a kook, a traitor, or both.” (-Primo Radical)
“The Black community would be a lot better off going back and listening to what MLK, Malcolm X, and Fred Hampton who the Establishment murdered had to say than Obama, Kamala, and Clyburn who the Establishmet rewarded are saying now.. Never underestimate the level of evil of a Gov’t that is capable of killing their own President to keep a war going. For those that are confused, that’s the United States.
The Democrat and Republican Party don’t work for you, no matter who wins, you lose. Let’s keep pretending the US Gov’t cares about Ukraine so they can keep taking our money and giving it to their donors. The United States is not a democracy. The DNC that created Super Delegates, got caught rigging the 2016 Primary, said in court they can pick their candidate, does all it can to keep 3rd Parties off ballots, spent 7 years saying Trump didn’t really win and now won’t allow Primary Debates is gonna save democracy? Some tried to tell you Biden is a lying, corrupt, racist from the beginning, not because we’re Republicans or Trumpers, but because that’s what his decades long record proves, but a combo of Trump Derangement Syndrome and cultish devotion to a Party won’t let you be objective. None of the world leaders the US Gov’t describes as evil dictators or authoritarians are responsible for the deaths of more innocent civilians than our own Presidents. Our Gov’t lied to us about what was really happening in Afghanistan under Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden, but on the bright side at least it was bipartisan. Is there a limit to the amount of wars in a row our Gov’t can get us involved in, get caught lying about to get our support, and spend our money on, before Americans wake up? 51 former Intellegence Agents decided to lie and write a letter calling Hunter’s laptop Russian disinformation
Current Intelligence Agents lied about Russia putting bounties on our troops heads, accusing Trump of doing nothing about it. All before the election. Strange…Whether it be getting caught rigging primaries, working with the FBI to overturn an election with Russiagate or with Intelligence Agencies to get 51 agents to lie by calling the Hunter laptop “Russian disinformation”
Democrats are the biggest threat to our make believe democracy. Been trying to tell these Liberals that Hillary isn’t some kind of genius or psychic.
She predicted Russiagate because she is the one who helped create it. Maybe the country with the world’s largest prison population shouldn’t be trying to preach to the world about Freedom. The US illegally occupies Syria, funds Israel an apartheid State, and provided weapons for a genocide in Yemen, while preaching to the world about sovereignty, freedom, democracy and human rights at the same time.
Most of the world has figured out how full of crap we are now. China isn’t trying to force their system and beliefs on other countries, the United States is. Russia and Cuba helped African countries free themselves, and the United States was still labeling Mandela a terrorist until 2008. f you are of use to the United States you’re a “Freedom Fighter”, if you are fighting against US interests you are a “Terrorist”, and sometimes the same group can be labeled terrorists one day and freedom fighters the next. It’s gonna be an interesting Primary watching the DNC talk about saving democracy while trying to deny their voters a debate and force Biden down their throats at the same time.The US armed the Saudis for decades contributing to the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and a genocide and the same Americans posting the Ukrainian flag didn’t give a shit.
Excuse me for calling you all a bunch of fakes, brainwashed by our Gov’t propaganda. If you pay attention, you’ll notice that the people the Establishment hates most are those with a big enough audience to matter that have appeal to both sides, because the rulers need you to pick a side so we stay divided and they can maintain control. If MLK was alive he’d be called a Putin puppet, if Malcolm X was alive he’d be attacked for telling the truth about Biden and if Fred Hampton was still here he’d be accused of forming a Red/Brown alliance for trying to unite the working class. It’s funny watching the Democrats and media act like the Biden family being called corrupt is some new crazy accusation that couldn’t be true, when they know better.. Everything they say negative about Trump is true about Biden but somehow the media seems to have never found out. I’m not afraid to face the wrath of my people and white liberals to tell the truths that other races know they will be attacked for saying and I’m not blinded by American propaganda enough to convince myself that what this country did to Black people doesn’t mean anything” (-Black In The Empire)
“Republicans: CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA.
Democrats: RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA. Reality: US Oligarchs are destroying the planet.” (-Danny Haiphong)
CENSORSHIP STILL SUCKS! NAZIS STILL SUCK! THE NWO IS NOT YOUR WOKEY-WOKE McSCIENTIFIC TRANSFRIENDLY SPACE SAVIORS FOR FEMINISM! THEY ARE THE ONE PERCENT!
Vietnam -> Gulf of Tonkin Desert Storm -> Babies thrown out of incubators Libya -> Soldiers given Viagra to commit rape Iraq War -> WMD’s Syria -> chemical weapons on their people Afghanistan -> 4 Admins said we’re winning Ukraine -> unprovoked” (-Black In The Empire)
“The hate that liberals have for conservatives and the hate that conservatives have for liberals are just corrupted forms of the anger that the working class instinctively feels about their exploitation.
The elite simply distill and redirect workers’ rage back onto other workers. Republicans are typically only skeptical & suspicious of US intelligence agencies when a Democrat is in the White House (Biden, Obama, Clinton).
Democrats are typically only skeptical & suspicious of US intelligence agencies when a Republican is in the White House (Bush, Nixon). Isn’t it weird how all the “democratic” good guy nations are also the ones with long histories of imperialism & colonialism, and all of the “authoritarian” bad guy nations are the ones who have been invaded by the good guys over & over again? By religiously supporting a party, Americans also end up supporting abuses of power that they previously would have objected to.
Again, the best example of this is just looking at what the rhetoric of both parties was during the Bush years vs what it is now. Completely opposite. This is, in itself, indicative of a psyop on the American people — one that incompasses not just political parties, but also major news media, and now controlled-opposition “alternative” media as well.” (-Primo Radical)
“I completely lost faith in the Democratic party… Furthermore, when I look back on their track record over the past decade, I realize that what I believe is good governance, is not how they govern. They have become everything I abhor.” (- Robert Malone)
The problem, as is so often the case, is that mainstream westerners making the assumption that “If that’s what was happening, we would have heard about it in the news.” Not understanding that their news media is designed to advance the interests of the powerful, not report news. The Israel/Palestine issue isn’t complicated or hard to understand, there’s just a widespread assumption among mainstream westerners that it can’t possibly be as simple as it looks because the mainstream information sphere is distorted to obfuscate what’s obvious at first glance.” (-Caitlin Johnstone)
Lockheed Martin is a love org. Liberalism in a nutshell.” (-David Swanson)
