These motherfuckers are at it again, trying to rig the game before we even roll the dice, and if you think this is just a game show host pulling a prank on you, you have absolutely missed the entire point of the fucking circus. Welcome to another episode of The Anti Social Socialist, I am NodeZ3r0, and I have been awake for thirty-six hours reading leaked documents that make the lies coming out of the corporate press look like fucking fairy tales. This is punk rock anti-fascist radio, we are not here to play nice with the fascist machine, and we are not here to tell you what you want to hear, we are here to tell you what the fucking world is actually seeing while the American media goes on a suicide mission to bury the truth. So sit the fuck down, grab a fucking coffee, or better yet, grab a fucking weapon if that is what you need, because we are about to tear into the global capitalist nightmare that is trying to strangle our lungs.
Elon Musk, that two hundred billion dollar shithead, is leading a far right propaganda blitz on Brazil’s democracy, and let me tell you, this is not some fucking accident, this is a digital proto-coup right there in plain sight. The Brasil Wire is reporting, and they are not the only ones screaming about this, that Musk is using all the bullshit money he has bought with stolen labor and exploited workers to instigate chaos. Remember January eighth, two thousand and twenty-three? That was not a new coup attempt as is most often depicted by the fake news outlets, that was the desperate, failed last gasp of a system that is trying to claw its way back to power. This time, the fascists are in plain sight, they are not hiding in the basement of a think tank, they are on your fucking phones, they are in your social media feeds, and they are trying to rewrite the history books while the real people are getting crushed under the weight of this fascist machine. The money talks, and in the world of capitalism, it screams loud enough to drown out the screams of the people. They want to install puppets, they want to rig the elections, and they want to turn Brazil into another concentration camp state, just like the rest of the empire. You see, this is not about free speech, this is about control, and when you control the narrative, you control the fucking future. And the future does not look good for anyone who is not rich, white, and willing to sell their soul for a stock option.
Now check this out, because while the billionaires are plotting coups in South America, there is a fight on the other side of the planet where the workers are finally standing up and saying fuck you to the bosses. The International Court of Justice, also known as the World Court, has issued a landmark ruling enshrining the right to strike, and this is a fucking victory for the working class. Common Dreams is reporting on this, and they are not the only ones covering it, because the right to strike is under attack throughout the world, including right here in the United States of America. Labor strikes are currently forbidden or restricted in the majority of countries, and the reason for this is simple: the capitalists want you too poor to fight back. They want you too scared to organize, and they want you too distracted by the endless cycle of consumerism and debt slavery to notice that your wages are not keeping up with the cost of living. But now, the World Court has determined that the right to strike is protected under the International Labour Organization’s Convention No. eighty-seven on Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organize. This is a fucking bombshell for the fascist machine, because when workers walk off the job, the economy cracks. When workers say no, the profit motive is interrupted. And when the profit motive is interrupted, the shitheads who run the corporations start screaming for blood. So get ready, because the counter-attack is coming, and it is not going to be pretty. The capitalists are going to bring out the big guns, they are going to bring out the police, they are going to bring out the courts, and they are going to try to criminalize the very act of demanding fair treatment. But the workers are not going to back down, and neither are we. We are here to support the right to strike, to support the right to organize, and to support the right to say fuck you to the bosses.
But while the workers are fighting for their rights, the military machine is ramping up, and it is not going to stop. The US has launched new strikes on southern Iran, and these strikes have tipped the already fragile balance between diplomacy and military escalation in the region. Middle East Eye is reporting on this, and they are not the only ones covering it, because the region is on the brink of war, and the United States is not pulling back, they are pushing forward. Washington says it targeted Iranian radar and drone facilities in self-defense, but let’s be clear about this: self-defense is a fucking lie when it comes to the imperial powers. They are striking at sovereignty, they are striking at the right of nations to defend themselves, and they are doing so under the guise of protecting freedom. Meanwhile, negotiations with Tehran remain active, with both sides continuing to exchange proposals, but the US is advancing a roadmap aimed at reducing hostilities in Lebanon and elsewhere, but this roadmap is a fucking trap. It is designed to keep the pressure on, to keep the fear alive, and to keep the people from organizing. The military-industrial complex is feeding off this fear, and they are not going to stop until the entire world is a burning mess. You see, this is not about security, this is about profit, and the profit motive is the only thing that matters to the capitalists. They will burn the world to the ground if it means they can make a few more bucks. And if you think this is just a game of chicken, you have absolutely missed the entire point of the fucking circus. The chickens are being slaughtered, the eggs are being collected, and the profits are being poured into the pockets of the rich while the poor are left to pick up the pieces.
And while the world is burning, the US military is attacking Iranian sites, and the damage is extensive. BBC Verify is reporting, and they are not the only ones covering it, that Tehran’s strikes were more extensive than publicly acknowledged. Satellite images show that Iran has hit twenty US military sites since the start of the war, and this is a fucking message to the empire. It is a message that says we are not afraid, we are not going to back down, and we are not going to let you dictate the terms of our engagement. But the US is advancing a roadmap aimed at reducing hostilities in Lebanon and elsewhere, but this roadmap is a fucking trap. It is designed to keep the pressure on, to keep the fear alive, and to keep the people from organizing. The military-industrial complex is feeding off this fear, and they are not going to stop until the entire world is a burning mess. You see, this is not about security, this is about profit, and the profit motive is the only thing that matters to the capitalists. They will burn the world to the ground if it means they can make a few more bucks. And if you think this is just a game of chicken, you have absolutely missed the entire point of the fucking circus. The chickens are being slaughtered, the eggs are being collected, and the profits are being poured into the pockets of the rich while the poor are left to pick up the pieces.
But while the military is ramping up, there is a crisis in the Philippines, and it is not going to end well. A Philippine lawmaker has been charged with corruption and ordered to surrender without the right to bail. The South China Morning Post is reporting on this, and they are not the only ones covering it, because the special Sandiganbayan anti-corruption court had initially issued a warrant for Senator Jinggoy Estrada’s arrest on a non-bailable charge of plunder after he allegedly pocketed a huge kickback in a flood-control project. This is the latest crisis to hit the country’s Senate, the upper chamber where a battle for control of the country’s political future is playing out. But let’s be clear about this: corruption is not limited to the Philippines, it is a global phenomenon, and it is fueled by the same profit motive that drives the military-industrial complex. The capitalists are not afraid to bend the rules, they are not afraid to break the law, and they are not afraid to destroy the environment if it means they can make a few more bucks. And if you think this is just a game of politics, you have absolutely missed the entire point of the fucking circus. The rules are rigged, the game is fixed, and the only way to win is to play the game on your own terms. And if you think this is just a game of chicken, you have absolutely missed the entire point of the fucking circus. The chickens are being slaughtered, the eggs are being collected, and the profits are being poured into the pockets of the rich while the poor are left to pick up the pieces.
And while the politicians are playing their games, the AUKUS alliance is unveiling new details about drones and second-hand submarines, and the US is again demanding its allies step up their military budgets. SBS Australia is reporting on this, and they are not the only ones covering it, because the US is using its allies to build a military empire that will strangle the world. The US has again demanded its allies step up their military budgets at a high-level international defence meeting in Singapore, but this is not about security, this is about profit. The military-industrial complex is feeding off this fear, and they are not going to stop until the entire world is a burning mess. You see, this is not about security, this is about profit, and the profit motive is the only thing that matters to the capitalists. They will burn the world to the ground if it means they can make a few more bucks. And if you think this is just a game of chicken, you have absolutely missed the entire point of the fucking circus. The chickens are being slaughtered, the eggs are being collected, and the profits are being poured into the pockets of the rich while the poor are left to pick up the pieces.
But while the world is burning, there is political drama in South Africa, and it is not going to end well. Khusta Jack, a veteran activist and politician, has explained why he left the Nelson Mandela Bay mayoral committee. The Daily Maverick SA is reporting on this, and they are not the only ones covering it, because the fight for justice and equality is not over, it is just getting started. But let’s be clear about this: justice is not a commodity that can be bought and sold, it is a right that belongs to every human being. And if you think this is just a game of politics, you have absolutely missed the entire point of the fucking circus. The rules are rigged, the game is fixed, and the only way to win is to play the game on your own terms. And if you think this is just a game of chicken, you have absolutely missed the entire point of the fucking circus. The chickens are being slaughtered, the eggs are being collected, and the profits are being poured into the pockets of the rich while the poor are left to pick up the pieces.
And while the world is burning, the New York Times is trying to balance its coverage of Israel and Hamas, but it is clear that the paper is not doing a good job. CounterPunch is reporting on this, and they are not the only ones covering it, because the agenda setting New York Times is a paper of record, with a journalism staff of three thousand, about seven percent of all journalists working in the US. The paper has also been a reliable source of pro-Israel messaging for years, especially after October seventh, so when a well-respected human rights journalist wrote such an op-ed in its pages, it was a public relations disaster for Israel and its propaganda machine went into high gear to counter the bad press. Zionists and genocide supporters protested in droves, but the truth is that the New York Times is not a free press, it is a tool of the capitalist machine. And if you think this is just a game of politics, you have absolutely missed the entire point of the fucking circus. The rules are rigged, the game is fixed, and the only way to win is to play the game on your own terms. And if you think this is just a game of chicken, you have absolutely missed the entire point of the fucking circus. The chickens are being slaughtered, the eggs are being collected, and the profits are being poured into the pockets of the rich while the poor are left to pick up the pieces.
So here is the bottom line: the billionaire-owned media will not tell you the truth, they will not tell you the lies, they will not tell you the facts, they will not tell you the stories that are being told by the international journalists who are covering the global crisis. They will not tell you about the coups in Brazil, they will not tell you about the strikes in the United States, they will not tell you about the wars in the Middle East, they will not tell you about the corruption in the Philippines, they will not tell you about the military buildup in Australia, they will not tell you about the political drama in South Africa, and they will not tell you about the media bias in the United States. They will not tell you because they are afraid, they are afraid of the truth, they are afraid of the people, they are afraid of the future. And if you think this is just a game of chicken, you have absolutely missed the
