  6. @cyberlyra Yes. And all of these past events have been solidly linked to #Russia

    Russia is not just a state, it’s a kleptocratic #mafia #ideology with a state. It’s connected with organised #crime, #crypto, #offshore banking, all kinds of dark money. These are just a few of it’s political tentacles.

    Everywhere around the world you look, you will find Russian #oligarchs with huge piles of dark money. Developing property, to launder money with blood on it. Trump was their hit.☝️

  9. RE: aus.social/@eddyjokovich/11659

    There is a lot of legislative work to be done if govt(s) are going to do something about putting Australia on better footings to cope with what is coming down the line. And #Madhats (#LNP #Nats #PHON) aren’t ever going to do anything about it. Our meak and timid #Labor govt(s) are too caught up in the #Newscycle to roll up their collective sleeves and get to work (time is running out, that much is obvious) and that leaves a #CluelessElectorate , too #UnderThePump to see their way clear to send the only electoral message that ought to matter to all Australians, that is to vote for the #Greens next time around. Because only the Greens will act out of #Ideology (the good and prgressive kind for the greater good) and not #ElectoralSelfInterests (a nice way of saying #Corruption and #StateTheft #NeoLiberalism )

  16. Here we go again: Western mass media justifying state terrorism and genocide, not to mention the erasure of a past grounded on land theft and settler colonialism...

    "For my new book “How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza,” I attempt to demonstrate, beyond a reasonable doubt, that U.S. media coverage of the war on Gaza was one-sided, racist, dehumanizing, and often veered into outright incitement.

    I examined over 12,000 articles from the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN.com, Politico, Axios, USA Today, and The Associated Press, along with 5,000 TV segments that aired on CNN and MSNBC. The focus is on center-left media outlets influential with the Biden administration during the first year of the conflict — with an emphasis on the first few months, when Israel firmly established its narrative justifying the genocide, rendering mass death inevitable.

    Here are seven statistical findings that prove the U.S. media’s bias against Palestinians.

    Israel’s “Right to Defend Itself”

    The media’s penchant for invoking a nation’s “right to defend itself,” typically followed by the rationalization of mass civilian killing, was reserved almost exclusively for Israel. On CNN and MSNBC, guests, anchors, and reporters mentioned the right to self-defense for Israel 94 times more than they did for Palestinians. In print media, Israel was afforded this right over 100 times more frequently than Palestinians in Gaza."

  21. RE: loops.video/v/fEtbtYpD6e

    Some people want to believe the far right is about hate. But I have maintained this not the case for a long time: The hate is only a tool, not the core.

    Hate functions as an enabler of an ultra-strong group #identity. It is the wedge that pushes people into one unified hierarchy of violence under one leader.

    The unity is the point, hate only carries the water.

  26. Why ideology? Why religion?

    Elites arm the guards. Until the guards discover their own power.

    That's when ideology steps in. For God. For Hitler. For Communism. A golden calf by any name.
    Because a soldier who fights for belief doesn't ask: cui bono?
    Hamas. Taliban. Weapons from Washington. Ideology from Riyadh.
    Putin needs the Church. Xi needs the Party.
    Silicon Valley is still auditioning its golden calf.
    Same architecture. Every latitude.

  28. I think it is important for anyone looking to understand the world we live in to have not only an #OpenMind, but to be able to see things from another perspective. So here is an interesting summary of where this world of ours might be in the next 10 years, written by Thomas des Garets Geddes, of crystal ball gazing from the #Chinese perspective (Source: Sinification on substack Follow the link to the article in James Farqharsan’s restack here. substack.com/@jamesfarquharson )

    1. US–China bipolarity will become firmly entrenched. The US will maintain an overall lead, dominating cyberspace, services and international influence, whilst China will dominate the physical economy, manufacturing and military scale.
    2. Middle powers, including the EU and India, will reject ideological camps in favour of pragmatic, “issue-based alignment” [问题性结盟], navigating between the two superpower ecosystems.
    3. Fuelled by populism, trade protectionism and the normalisation of “might makes right”, the current “counter-globalisation order” [逆全球化秩序] will reach its peak during the second Trump administration.
    4. By 2035, prolonged political fragmentation and widespread popular dissatisfaction with almost two decades of counter-globalisation will generate global demand for a new international order grounded in basic moral principles.
    5. AI-driven excess production and entrenched protectionism will fracture global markets, pushing states towards “club-style” coordination and cause a long-term shift away from the dollar towards gold and other currencies.
    6. Cyberspace will supersede physical territory as the primary geopolitical arena, stratifying the globe into three tiers: intelligent technology standard-setters (the US and China), innovators and AI application economies.
    7. The mutual estrangement of the US and Chinese R&D sectors will result in two distinct global digital standards and market spheres, while also reflecting a pattern of “homogenised development” [同质性发展] as the US increasingly mimics Chinese industrial policy.
    8. The growing lethality of intelligent weapons, combined with nuclear deterrence, will constrain major powers to cyber operations. Yet the lower immediate lethality of such operations may increase the frequency of unmanned cyberattacks and conflict.
    9, China should transition its diplomatic focus to cyberspace, encouraging enterprises to “go out” [走出去] via a “produce locally, consume locally” [当地生产当地消费] model to bypass protectionism and internationalise its tech standards.
    10. To secure its global standing and achieve “high-quality opening up” [高水平对外开放], China must actively mitigate domestic populist currents and attract foreign research talent through institutional reform.
