21 Feb 2022
14 Feb 2022 – The irony of the Wall Street Journal yelling about China’s “global expansionism” over a ‘potential’ military base in Equatorial Guinea without applying that label to the US, which has hundreds of times the number of foreign military bases as China. It is ridiculous that a military base some six thousand nautical miles from the US coastline be framed as a threat to North Americans.

21 Feb 2022
20 Feb 2022 -To rule the world, make it rely on a single dominant financial system you control so anyone who disobeys you can be cut off from the economy you’ve made them dependent on. The challenge isn’t so much obtaining evidence of the depravity of the empire as helping people to really, truly see the evidence we already have.

The Assange Case Explained Simply
Caitlin Johnstone - TRANSCEND Media Service,
20 Dec 2021
16 Dec 2021 – In reality, the complexity of this case is a complete illusion. It only looks complicated because many years of media distortion have made it appear so. The US government is trying to extradite a journalist and prosecute him under the Espionage Act for exposing its war crimes, with the long-term goal of normalizing this practice. That’s it. That’s the whole entire thing.

6 Dec 2021 – When the nukes start flying,
when we see the mushroom cloud growing on the horizon,
when reality comes crashing down in the most overt way possible,
when the realization slowly dawns that this really is the end,
none of our old stuff will matter anymore.
US Cover-up of Syria Massacre Shows the Danger of the Assange Precedent
Caitlin Johnstone - TRANSCEND Media Service,
15 Nov 2021
15 Nov 2021 – The New York Times has published a solid investigative report on a US military coverup of a massacre in Syria which killed scores of civilians. The second investigative report on civilian-slaughtering US airstrikes by the NYT in a matter of weeks, and if I were a more conspiracy-minded person I’d say the paper of record appears to have been infiltrated by journalists.

6 Oct 2021 – So the Facebook “whistleblower” all the mass media are loudly amplifying today is pushing for regulations that Facebook just happens to fully support, likely because the trillion-dollar corporation knows it will impose costs that make the emergence of future competitors impossible? Cool. That’s not suspicious at all.

(Français) L’acte d’accusation contre Assange repose sur le faux témoignage d’un sociopathe avéré

12 Jul 2021
28 Juin 2021 – C’est une bombe dans l’affaire Assange. Pour faire extrader le fondateur de WikiLeaks, le gouvernement US l’a notamment accusé de piratage. Or, le témoin-clé de cette accusation vient de retourner sa veste dans un journal islandais. Pire, le témoin en question serait une taupe rémunérée du FBI qui avait été reconnu coupable d’abus sexuels sur mineurs et de détournement de fonds. Il admet maintenant avoir menti. Pour Edward Snowden, cette révélation marque la fin de l’affaire Assange.

“Regime” and “CCP”: Propaganda Tools for Dissociating a Targeted Nation from Its Government
Caitlin Johnstone - TRANSCEND Media Service,
12 Apr 2021
9 Apr 2021 – Have you ever seen a mainstream news report containing the phrase “the French regime”? How about “the British regime” or “the Australian regime”? Ostensibly the word simply means “a form of government” or “a government in power.” In theory its meaning is closer to “a bad or authoritarian government”, and in practice by the western media it means “a government which disobeys the dictates of Washington”.

US Bombs Syria & Ridiculously Claims Self Defense
Caitlin Johnstone | Consortium News - TRANSCEND Media Service,
1 Mar 2021
26 Feb 2021 – So we are being told that the United States launched an airstrike on Syria, a nation it invaded and is illegally occupying, because of attacks on “U.S. locations” in Iraq, another nation the U.S. invaded and is illegally occupying. It is impossible for its actions in either of those countries to be defensive. The U.S. is always necessarily the aggressor.

The USA Has No Allies, Only Hostages

26 Oct 2020
25 Oct 2020 – The US-centralized empire functions like a giant blob that absorbs nations and turns them into imperial client states. Once absorbed, it is rare for a country to escape and rejoin other genuinely sovereign nations. The new president-elect of Bolivia, Luis Arce, has told the Spanish international news agency EFE that he intends to restore the nation’s relations with Cuba, Venezuela and Iran.

It cannot be denied that there is pressure being applied to new media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to forcibly marginalize all perspectives which fall outside the ever-shrinking Overton window of approved political discourse.
