  1. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social Why Neoliberalism given captive markets are not free? It is after all the Neoconservatives of both parties who have and are selling us out to antitrust monopolies and their fascist tech lords. #Neoliberalism #Neoconservatism #Neocons #Neofascists #Neonazis #CaptiveMarkets #DoublespeakEmpires

  2. 1991, 2003 many more before and after...

    They have to lie, because no sane human desires war (and real reasons for an offensive one are rare or inexistent).

  3. "As President Donald Trump continues to bombard Iran, he’s following a plan laid out in a “Project 2025”–like manifesto written by a long-standing force in US foreign policy: the neocons who backed the Iraq War more than twenty years ago.

    It’s part of a dark money–backed network of neoconservatives and Israel lobbyists that has been working quietly over the past year to push the Trump administration to launch a military intervention in Iran, releasing memos and polls urging action.

    In the first weeks of Trump’s presidency in January 2025, a think tank called the Vandenberg Coalition released a white paper outlining a new agenda for US foreign policy. Called “Deals of the Century: Solving the Middle East,” the document was a “neocon manifesto” for a second Trump presidency, advocating for the United States to provide even more arms to Israel and take a “radically different” stance on Iran. It was a hawkish road map designed to influence a president who had ostensibly embraced isolationist messaging in his campaign.

    The Vandenberg Coalition, formed in 2021 during President Joe Biden’s time in office, advocates for an interventionist foreign policy and increased defense spending. Over the past year, it has released a flurry of reports on Venezuela and Iran, cheering on the capture of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and releasing a document in January that called for strikes against Iran."

  4. "On balance, it seems clear that the invasion of Iraq really was not “all about oil” — or if it was, then the US war was staggeringly ill-conceived and ill-executed. There is basically no link you can make between Iraq’s vast oil reserves and direct benefits for the US state, consumers, or large oil companies.

    So, if not oil, what was the reason? I am no expert on the Middle East, nor the American neoconservative movement circa 2003, but my conjecture is that it was part of the larger neocon campaign to project US global power throughout the Middle East and around the world. The 1979 Iranian Revolution, and Saddam Hussein’s audacious invasion of Kuwait in 1991, were evidence of a region out of the United States’ tight control. By taking out Saddam’s regime, the United States could implant another ally alongside Saudi Arabia and Israel (among others) to protect US interests in the region.

    Of course, this theory has its own problems, given that the invasion has resulted in basically nonstop chaos and instability since. This chaos continues today as the United States tries to foster regime change in Iran (unlikely to happen simply with bombs from above).

    But there is evidence that the neocons and the “Project for a New American Century” were thinking of the Iraq War this way."

  5. This assumes an honest media and a public understanding driven by critical thinking. The US government is never forced to deal with such questions and the American people are kept sufficiently ignorant/nationalistic to accept the hypocrisy. Having a political duopoly where being antiwar is not a plank of either party helps.

  6. 🚨 Fuertes vientos de cambio 🌬️

    Estados Unidos gasta más que nadie en guerras (74% del presupuesto militar mundial), mientras que el Sur Global crece frenéticamente. China lidera en 57 de 64 tecnologías clave, Estados Unidos sólo en siete.

    Los BRICS+ y el comercio Sur-Sur se dispara a medida que las naciones abandonan el dominio del dólar. Desde los golpes antifranceses de Burkina Faso hasta el resurgir de movimientos sociales de izquierda en América Latina, las naciones se sacuden el dominio occidental.

  7. Elections of the past decades directed our future towards dystopia. So here we are as ordered. Who would want that? I don’t take growth for an answer.

  8. On the neocons all over again – Amir Tibon in Haaretz:
    The experiment would ‘go something like this: American companies will begin operating in southern Gaza, under the supervision of the Israeli military, in a "humanitarian compound" surrounded by barbed wire. Two million Gazan citizens will be concentrated in this compound to get food and aid, while Israel will take over the rest of Gaza and use the pressure put on Gaza's population in order to topple the Hamas regime.’
    (…)
    ‘If all this sounds familiar to you, that means you've probably lived through the Iraq War and the "happy" days of American contractors operating under military guidance in an attempt to "separate the local population from the terrorists" and replace the regime, but it's unclear with what exactly.’
    (…)
    ‘Two decades later, they are promoting their Gaza plan in similar fashion – and so far, despite all the rage about the "neocons disrupting his agenda," the president seems to buy it.’

  9. I've missed out Trump's foreshadow there in the list #Lebensraum⁩ ⁨#DominoTheory⁩ ⁨#MAGA⁩.

    #GWBush, with #TurdBlossom, #Cheney and #NeoCons, when feelings were high after 9/11, did some butchery in Iraq.

    Like so very much around America's second worst President, reaching for a rubic produces a shitty mess.

  11. The establishment left is overrun with folks who sound like they just want freedom everywhere but are very selective in where they advocate it. Which other people in the public conversation they denounce. You can never know a person's mind and rarely see who pays them, but the real world implications of everything they say is indistinguishable from advocating worldwide US hegemony. #neocons

  12. In the early 80s, our ambassador Alexander #Yakovlev (a classic example of the genre - bed and whiskey) was recruited in Canada. In 1985, he became Mikhail #Gorbachev's chief adviser, and it was through Yakovlev that the last General Secretary was instilled with a plan to reform the USSR economy. In essence, the plan was very simple - to get rid of the superfluous Union republics and then, with the help of the USA, to become a prosperous capitalist state. It was this plan that Gorbachev proposed to Ronald #Reagan at his very first meeting.

    And here is the first remark - historians will probably argue endlessly whether Gorbachev knew or not that this plan was foisted on him by the Americans themselves, or was simply a fool. Personally, I think that he knew and openly and purposefully destroyed the Union. Because this plan included not only the collapse of the country's rather strong economy under the guise of reforms, but also the bringing to power of outright renegades - #Yeltsin and the group of American advisers who stood behind him, who came to "help" the Soviet Union.
    ...

    Specifically, for the deployment of military operations in Ukraine, a number of contractors were involved, both already well-identified Russophobes and specially established ones at that. Here, we will only list some of them and, accordingly, their main sponsors:

    The Atlantic Council- Sponsored by SAAB, Raytheon, and Lockheed. This is the director of the Ukrainian project. Their main lobbyist, by the way, is the same Alperovich who recently authored "The World on the Brink."

    The Center for Analysis of European Policy (established in 2005) - Sponsored specifically by Lockheed, BAE System, Bel Helicopter, and Raytheon, and was designed to promote the agenda in the media.

    The German Marshall Fund- Sponsored by the Ministry of Defense of Latvia, Airbus, Boeing, and Raytheon. The main lobbyist is still the same William Kristol, and the former president of Estonia and our old enemy McFaul are also involved.

    The Institute for the Study of War (2007) - Sponsored by Raytheon and General Dynamics Dean Corporation. The director of the institute is Kimberly Kagan (wife of Victoria Nuland's husband's brother).

    These are just a few of the contractors that, by various estimates, handled up to $7 billion in U.S. government and private spending on military corporations to fuel the Ukrainian war. Much of that money ended up in the pockets of the #Nuland family and the #Kagan clan, who are connected to the #Clinton and #Obama families.
