Imperialist EU

The imperialist, neoliberal EU is almost as detestable as the Tories/British establishment.

The ‘liberal’ leadership of the EU is currently in alliance with Trump and the genocidal Elliot Abrams in trying to impose authoritarian, neoliberal rule in Venezuela, so that the country can be plundered and western elites can profit.

This isn’t the first time that the EU has been on the side of authoritarians and fascists - see Ukraine, Syria, and so on.

They are also currently trying to censor dissent on social media - this is what the ‘fake news’ agenda is about. They want the new media to do the bidding of the elite just as the old media always has done. All who challenge elite interests must be suppressed.

‘Liberalism’ means nothing anymore. It seems to just be fascism in disguise. It’s a label one needs in order to fool the public and disguise the real agenda - perpetual profit for a psychopathic elite/system.

Guy Verhofstadt attacks Italy for not wanting a coup in Venezuela (video)

Link to video 

Verhofstadt is just upset that Italy, having elected an anti-EU government, is now attempting to move away from imperial, neoliberal globalization.

According to Verhofstadt, not wanting to dictate to countries in the global south (Venezuela) and plunder their natural resources is 'anti-European'. 

And he has the nerve to condemn Italy for not supporting Trump's attempts at a coup in Venezuela, to then go on and condemn them for supporting the Gilet Jaunes and a coup in France! Seriously, do these cretins have any self awareness? He must know exactly what he's doing, the imperialist pig. 

He hates the Gilet Juanes 'wreckers' for knocking down some bus stops, but LOVES the Venezuelan protestors who have decapitated motor cyclists (by putting barbed wire across the street), burned people alive, and tried to assassinate their President!

Supporters of the EU need to come to terms with the fact that it is very much allied with psychopaths like Elliott Abrams. Donald Tusk, Guy Verhofstadt, etc, are all openly supportive of America’s attempted coup in Venezuela. They all want the country re-privatised, and a compliant leader installed, so that western elites can profit, and they’re happy for the operation to be led by scumbags like Abrams.

If these ‘liberal’ EU politicians truly cared for human rights, they wouldn’t be allying with the US and targeting the Venezuelan government - a government that is simply trying to give poor Venezuelans the same rights that many social democracies in Europe offer their citizens (healthcare etc). Instead, they’d be doing all they can to stop the US, with their long history of genocidal atrocities in Latin America, from continuing with their imperial pursuits!

Trump pulls out of Syria

I despise them both, but had Clinton (or pretty much any Democrat/Republican) been POTUS, this would probably not be happening - she campaigned on a promise of expanding the war in Syria, thus risking conflict with Russia and possible WW3. Trump campaigned on a promise of pulling out of the wars.

Whatever his motives might be, he is, partially, fulfilling a campaign promise.

Idiot conspiracy theorists (aka entire MSM/neoliberal establishment) will say he is doing it to please Putin. Even if that were true, who cares? US/NATO wars have killed over four million Muslims in the last three decades. Any retreat should be welcomed! But in their anti-Trump derangement, ‘liberals’ are now hardcore supporters of US imperialism.

(UPDATE: Whatever he may be doing re Syria, Trump is actually a pro-war imperialist asshole.

Cycle of hell

Bin Laden and al Qaeda emerged, and 9/11 happened, as a consequence of the west’s destruction of Afghanistan in the 1980s - which they did by supporting jihadist insurgents, the Mujahideen.

And in recent years, history has been repeated, with ISIS emerging as a result of US/NATO’s destruction of Iraq, Libya and Syria, which has involved them supporting sectarian extremists (against secularists/moderates).

Now that regime change in Syria has failed, Trump is withdrawing, and these extremists have been abandoned by their western sponsors, they’re going to be fleeing to Europe and elsewhere, and they’re going to be very angry jihadists!

So more blowback terrorism will be coming our way.

As ever, security/military contractors will be able to take advantage of the situation and make more profits at the expense of our liberties. And they will push for yet more militarism in response, and the cycle of chaotic violence and death will continue. (They will probably blame future terror attacks, and justify future military campaigns and occupations, on Trump’s withdrawal).

For the UK, our best hope of escaping this cycle of hell is to elect a socialist, lifelong anti-war activist as PM!

RT blamed for French Yellow Vest protests

Watch this interview with historian Mark Curtis to understand why Russian state broadcaster RT is so hated by western powers. Too many uncomfortable truths. When did you last see anything in western ‘MSM’ about the British being complicit in the deaths of 8million+ people since 1945?

RT is attacked for its extensive coverage of dissent in the west, but as detailed in this interview, there’s rather a lot for us to be angry about, and given that ‘MSM’ is proven to mostly act as a propaganda machine for elite interests, there is quite a big gap in the market for RT!

Is RT doing it as part of a campaign by the Kremlin to fuel the dissent? Who knows, but if they are, so what? Firstly, the more dissent the better, as radical change is needed to save the planet and its inhabitants from climate catastrophe, and from the western imperialism that Curtis describes - and surely any attempt by Russia to meddle in western affairs is a defensive move against this imperialism? (Russia has been encircled by NATO bases, and countries on its border have been covertly attacked in regime-change operations).

Secondly, the west does this constantly - the US conducts propaganda campaigns in target countries all the time, as part of regime change operations. Why do you think many countries don’t allow a free media, and keep it under state control? Surely, at least partly, because of this threat!

So it is hypocritical as hell for western governments to be attacking RT. We need to realise this, and focus on attacking our ‘MSM’ instead, for being an arm of our corporate, imperial state; for propagating for wars that have killed millions of people; for barely covering climate change and environmental degredation, or informing us about the main cause of it - corporate capitalism, (with the military-industrial complex as the single biggest contributor).

Jeremy Corbyn, and the changes he wants to make (particularly re foreign policy), is the greatest threat to the western elite in decades. Trump is as well - largely because he’s just extremely embarrassing for America’s image as a bastion of freedom and human rights, that many somehow still fall for. With Trump, the mask is lifted.

Russia is the scapegoat to explain away all the discontent that led to the popularity of Corbyn, Trump, Brexit, etc; to distract the masses from the real culprits - our ruling elite and their neoliberal scam of a system.

Midterms 2018

So the ‘Blue wave’ hasn’t really happened. Against a fascistic man-baby, and with pretty much the entire ‘MSM’ behind them, the Democrats just about managed to take back the House and actually LOST seats in the Senate. Pathetic!

Trump will be around until 2024 unless the Democrats are able to miraculously reform by 2020 and actually offer the revolutionary change that people and planet need. But this will not happen, because they are in bed with the oligarchy/Wall Street: eg every single Democrat recently voted for an environment-killing $700 billion military budget. Meanwhile, there’s extreme poverty, homelessness crisis, massive debt, no public healthcare, etc. United States of Corruption.

Expect more Russia nonsense and zero self-reflection from the Dems over the next two years! The two-party dictatorship serving the interests of the billionaires, will continue, meaning that people will only get angrier and the far-right will continue to thrive.

USA and Israel again vote to continue Cuba blockade

Despite the blockade - which they say has deprived their economy of over $933billion - Cubans have a higher life expectancy than Americans; free healthcare, education, etc. Just imagine how even-more-amazingly they'd be doing without the blockade! 

The US will never allow a thriving non-neoliberal capitalist society to exist so close to its borders (...or anywhere). Can't have Americans noticing that there is another way of doing things!

Now...

WHY CAN'T THE REST OF THE WORLD UNITE AND TELL AMERICA AND ISRAEL TO FUCK OFF?!

Oh yeah, cos our neoliberal governments don't actually have much agency and exist at the behest of US hegemony/corporations and plutocrats (sorry, the 'free market').
