US Treasury Secretary on Iran: We will impose the toughest sanctions in history, and this policy will work.

- In Venezuela, when we imposed the blockade, it worked; it is now working in Cuba as well, and it will work in Iran too.

They lost the war, now they want to starve the people of Iran

Think again, please.

My Dad was a high-ranking officer in the Indian government. So I have some insight into where USAID money went.

1. Most of it was kicked back to the US politicians who arranged it.

2. Some of it went to Indian politicians who signed the delivery receipts.

3. Part of it went into making slick commercials, featuring brown children dancing happily around empty boxes labeled USAID.

4. A tiny fraction went to the poor Indian people it was supposed to help.

Don't forget, there are hungry and homeless children in America. USAID was a huge scam that spent public money to lull the middle class into feel-good complacency, into looking away from their poor neighbors, by soothing their malaise. #USAID allowed American #capitalism to make inroads into the third world, corrupting local government to extract natural resources and exploit cheap labor.

If you are really concerned about hungry children, do something locally, instead of letting corrupt politicians steal public money.

The #homeless people in your neighborhood can't vote, because of systemic hurdles that prevent them from getting their share. If could vote, they would scream "GIMME EAT!" , rather than enable American #imperialism.

Libraries hold a special place in my heart, for reasons both intellectual and sentimental.

Librarians are guardians of knowledge, champions of freedom, and friends of the people. They are community members, dedicated to helping connect poor people with relevant information, so they can improve their minds, educate themselves, and access job resources.

After I became a #whistleblower in 2023, and was made #homeless , this notion was challenged.

Librarians would block my access, call the police, and have me arrested. If you find this hard to believe, please see my whistleblower website. The PDF linked, has an appendix giving the “receipts” ( documents to corroborate my account ).

I had applied to be a board member of the libraries in Hawai’i after attending their meetings, and saw some corruption there.

Scroll to the bottom of this page, and see the photo of the board members. How many native Hawai’ian faces do you see? Any Japanese or brown folks?

https://folkhawaii.com/about-us/

Their former Director of Membership, Bobby Gebbia, lied in court, before the judge and cameras, saying I was a board member, though I was not granted a membership.

In Hawai’i, librarians appear to be part of the occupying forces, whitewashing colonialism, insidiously taking over and erasing the true history of Hawai’i, which I heard from talking to local old timers.

250 years ago, Hawai’i had not heard of Jesus, and had its own deities, ( Goddess Pele, the creator, Kaneloa, etc. )
Then Captain James Cook invaded, and 90% of the natives were wiped out.

Then Samson Dole attacked with soldiers, threw out the natives, turned their land into plantations, and turned the natives into day laborers on the plantation, on their own land.

Contrary to popular belief, Hawai’i is not a part of the USA, but a belligerently occupied territory,

1887-1897: Hawaiʻi Rebelled against the USA.

Hawaiʻian people did not choose to be part of the USA.
King David Kalākaua was forced to sign what is called the "Bayonet Constitution". Queen Liliuokalani asserted that Kalākaua's life was threatened: "He signed that constitution under absolute compulsion."

Now Hawai’i is full of churches, their own gods are vanishing from memory, thanks to the “librarians”. There’s poverty, a drug epidemic, and seething discontent on the streets. Hawai’ian people are heavily overpoliced, thrown into jail without cause, and denied #justice in the #courts of the occupiers ( #USA ).

All this is hidden from the casual tourist, content to visit a golf course on the sacred land, that has been bulldozed, and be served drinks by little brown people ( usually from the Marshall Islands, Hawai’i locals have mostly left for minimum wage jobs in mainland America ).

Billionaires, like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, and Oprah Winfrey, “own” huge chunks of the land.

Chinese billionaire, Eva Liu, has controlled the Punalu’u Black Sand beach, with a sweetheart deal ( $1 ), and is proposing erasing this natural landmark, spawning site of the endangered Saddleback Turtles, and building resorts there, in the name of “development”.

In 2022, the Hawai’ian people had a setback in court.
( Hawaiian Kingdom v. #Biden ; December 14, 2022 )

Librarians have been instrumental, in manipulating minds, and pushing through these insidious #imperialist agendas, and disenfranchising and displacing the local people.

What is really going on in the Gulf of Arabia and radical Islam? Who's behind them?

How does Saudi Arabia's old tactics of divide & rule connect to the Middle East being colonised by the West?

"The #Hellenization of #Judea and the #assimilation of #American #Jews obviously have radically different etiologies. One occurred in the context of #Hellenistic #imperialism; the other largely through voluntary #integration into a liberal #democracy that offered Jews unprecedented security and opportunity. Yet their morphology may contain a recognizable similarity: cultural encounter, selective assimilation, reinterpretation of #Jewish identity, competing visions of #Jewishness, and eventually intra-Jewish conflict.

The point is not that modern anti-#Zionist Jews are simply modern #Hellenists. Rather, the Hellenistic crisis provides a historical model for understanding how assimilation can eventually turn a disagreement about how Jews should relate to the surrounding world into a conflict over what #Judaism itself means."

In 1948 the US run military government of South Korea ruthlessly killed thousands of people on Jeju Island for the crime of being physically near some communists.

"I don't think a lot of Canadians recognize how Canada is involved in Latin America. Canada is the no. 1 mining company in Latin America and that has a lot of repercussions."

Mass reports lately for "appearance of #Russian #drone(s)" above european soil who do nothing - maybe they take them out to have fresh air?- come from #NATO and unnamed #American forces' mouths. Yet, #European media do not hesitate to adopt the narrative without questions or doubt. The (#media) propagandist network of #imperialism still works perfectly.

“I doubt that The Quiet American will retain its canonical status if the United States continues on its current path. As prophetic as the novel proved for 60-some years after its publication, the fact that two of three main characters aren’t particularly interesting as people may become more of a problem if their metaphorical purpose is less urgent.”

A USian argued with me about whether or not what's going on in the US is considered an imperial boomerang. After a long back and forth, she told me that I wasn't the audience of the post and/or the discourse.

"Listen here you little piece of shit. Let me tell you about living in the periphery-" was what I really wanted to say. But I just ended up saying something along the lines of "Great, keep that exceptionalism in this space. It's not like every atrocity overseas with American presence in it is part of your fucking imperial overlord foreign policy, so it isn't my business, I guess. I am not the audience for shit your government has done with their terrorism."

I just 👏🏻 can't 👏🏻 with 👏🏻 you 👏🏻 people 👏🏻 being 👏🏻 the self-absorbed settler garbage 👏🏻 your government 👏🏻 has wanted 👏🏻 you 👏🏻 to 👏🏻 be 👏🏻 But I suppose I was expecting too much back then.
