JOHNSTONE

My enemies are not in Iran. My enemies are in Washington and Tel Aviv. In London and Canberra.

My enemies are the western oligarchs and empire managers who are poisoning my society and making everything awful while slaughtering human beings with the help of my tax dollars.

It's so obnoxious how genocide apologists like Greenblatt make a living actively telling everyone that Jews and Judaism are inseparable from the acts of the Israeli government, but whenever there's an extremist attack by someone who doesn't distinguish between western Jews and the state of Israel it gets blamed on the pro-Palestine left.

Remember all the hasbarists and empire apologists who said it was a misfired Iranian missile that hit the school. Remember how aggressively and uniformly they all pushed this lie, including the president of the United States. Then understand that they're going to keep lying like this throughout the entire war.

Don't lean out the window of the Empire of Perpetual Bloodlust to wag your finger at empire-targeted countries in the global south. It's obnoxious.

Watching Amazon Prime while the Iranians burn.

Stuffing our mouths with cheesysugarbacon

while the sky turns black over Tehran.

Laughing without smiling.

Laughing with full mouths and empty eyes

while their water mixes with oil and blood.

"Hoho this will hurt Trump in the midterms"

the liberal chortles,

masturbating furiously

while ruined parents pull ruined schoolbags

out of ruined schools.

Frolicking on lawns with hamburgers in both fists

doing patchouli tai chi

in clothes made by slaves

as black rain waters gardens

of severed limbs and blown-out eyeballs.

This is our culture.

This is our religion.

Praying to Pornhub while children scream,

telling ourselves it will all be worth it

when Iranian women can do OnlyFans

to pay for boob jobs and butt lifts

and go to Capitalist Heaven when they die.

Jizzing Taco Bells and bail bonds firms

all over the global south,

our bellies full of the flesh of children,

our veins full of plastic

and our mouths full of Lexapro,

dancing at the ballroom covered in blood and brains,

gyrating to AI-generated music

cranked up to maximum volume

to hide the sounds of the explosions

and the gasps of our dying souls.

Oh I'm sorry,

am I bumming you out?

Have a hamburger and a Xanax.

Everything's fine.

This is all normal.

Let's pick the bits of skull and teeth from our hair

and go party.

It's not okay for grown adults to believe the United States wages wars to promote humanitarian interests and bring freedom and democracy to oppressed populations.

It's not okay for grown adults to believe that US soldiers fight and die to protect their country and its citizens.

It's not okay for grown adults to believe US military interventionism in the middle east has anything to do with women's rights or making life better for women.

Reading by Tim Foley.

Those soldiers did not die for any noble reason. They died for money, for power, and for Israel. They wasted their lives, and they died for stupid, unworthy reasons. Don't let anyone claim otherwise.

This is the new George W Bush. Trump is what Bush metamorphoses into when it comes out of its red cocoon. The crazier the US empire gets, the more insane its managers are becoming.
