They said this about China in the late 90s too. They'll do Russia next, because they're also historically involved with Iran and it's nuclear power ambitions.

Throughout 2021, U.S. stock market valuations have hovered near all‑time highs. In June, the unadjusted price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of the S&P 500 index eclipsed the tech boom record of 2000.
Probably because 1. The US mistakenly believed that China’s “reform and opening up” would lead to another neocolonial plundering, like with the former USSR. 1. Outsourcing to China was making US capitalists so much money that they didn’t want a war that would cut that off.
But they did. For a long time they still believed that they could do achieve their goals in China via a slower more subversive approach than the overt 1989 color revolution attempt, via gradual elite corruption and infection with liberal ideology.
This is why up until the "pivot to Asia" happened you still had fairly positive coverage of China in the Western media and cultural sphere. In the 90s and 00s China was portrayed relatively positively in the media. The war propaganda faucet to demonize and dehumanize Chinese people in the eyes of Westerners was only turned on relatively recently.
If they really thought there was no hope of regime change after 1989 they would have started this much earlier when China was much weaker. They didn't because they didn't understand China (they still don't) and they deluded themselves into thinking things were still going their way.
#2 is possible but requires that the elite mistakes money for power
Well, that is how they think. But that's not the point that was being made. The point is that the logic of capitalism made it impossible for them to resist outsourcing to China, because the profits were too juicy to pass up. China understood this and took full advantage of it.
By the time the western elites noticed their catastrophic strategic mistake it was too late. Now they are panicking and for the last decade or so have been scrambling to try and find a way to reverse what has happened before the window of opportunity permanently closes.
Hence their increasingly reckless and self-harming escalations, with Ukraine, Taiwan, now Iran... They feel they are out of time and nothing is working anymore so they have to constantly take crazier and crazier gambles in hopes of digging themselves out of the hole.
That has to be a joke right? Their government is incredibly oppressive, supports terrorist groups like Russia, hamas, NK, hezbollah, etc, and is literally run by a “supreme leader” who has been in power since 1989.
Not saying Israel or the U.S. are good but come on who out there really thinks the Iranian government is good?
In this News Brief, we break down the insta-talking points to sell war with Iran––from Ticking Time Bomb '24' plots to cherry-picked, dubious anecdotes of Iranians supposedly begging for Israeli bombs.
Feel free to educate me if you have more information than me but my understanding is Iran was a nice happy country then the U.S. and Britain helped overthrow their government to get a pro oil authoritarian, then the Islamic revolution happened and it turned into a theocracy which shortly after began doing things like treating women as second class citizens
I am far from an expert so if you have more information than the Wikipedia page i will gladly take it
Feel free to educate me if you have more information than me but my understanding is Iran was a nice happy country then the U.S. and Britain helped overthrow their government to get a pro oil authoritarian, then the Islamic revolution happened and it turned into a theocracy which shortly after began doing things like treating women as second class citizens
The reason that the first things that come to your mind about Iran are authoritarianism and theocratic patriarchy is because our governments, think tanks, and corporate media have spent the last 35 years beating these thoughts into our heads. There’s certainly some truth to them, but they greatly exaggerate & incessantly repeat them. And they only do this to the countries they want to regime change. They don’t do it to allies or vassals who treat their citizens as badly or worse. And they want to regime change these countries not for any humanitarian reasons but because they’re not being sufficiently subservient. They don’t actually give a shit about the Iranian people’s or women’s freedoms, any more than they give a shit about Palestinians’ lives. They’re always working to manufacture consent for the various regime changes they want to prosecute.
Oh yeah the standard comparison between western liberal republics versus "theocracies" and "single party system totalitarian regimes". Meanwhile most of NATO is still nominally ruled by hereditary monarchies (the United Kingdom of King Charlie that still doesn't have an official constitution isn't just England, Wales and Scotland, it includes Canada, Australia and a ton of former colonies abroad), socially progressive key allies in Scandinavia that make bag from arms manufacturing are almost all still ruled by kings, the USA itself only introduced a presidential term limitation after Roosevelt did four consecutive terms but act like this is now abnormal universally as if all countries have or should have term limits, the few Catholic majority allies like Spain, Portugal and Italy have the Pope as their spiritual supreme leader that has his own private sovereign country with his private army, bank, intelligence services and religious-fascist organizations internationally like Opus Dei that infiltrate governments and have vast political and economic activities etc, not to mention that the Vatican has never seen any repercussions for sheltering and aiding Nazis after WWII, all of whom sought refuge in CIA backed South American dictatorships or "liberal democratic monarchies-colonies" like Canada and Australia etc.
Somehow the US constantly tries to export democracy in every other place except its own allies that need it the most. There are even tax havens (global financial crime hotspots) like Monaco and nobody cares about the lack of democracy there. It's a tragedy that Murica cares so much for the world that all these allies must wait until they also get some democracy. It's an absolute tragedy.
Can you imagine someone ever saying that the Vatican is a theocracy? It literally is though. Or that Saudi Arabia or Brunei aren't democracies? That's easier. But try saying that Denmark and the Netherlands are also monarchies? Or that Iceland had to gain independence because it was basically a colony? Unthinkable. So it seems it's perfectly fine having any system you want as long as you're a US lapdog.
We could also think about Northern Ireland and why Murica doesn't invade to liberate the Irish from the illegal Brit occupation, that would be even funnier since apparently Brits oppose landgrabs and imperialism on principle and since always hence why they got so involved in expanding NATO in Ukraine and opposed bad unfree capitalist republic no-monarchy Russia.
WASHINGTON, June 16 – Following Israel’s military strikes against Iran, which threaten to further destabilize the Middle East and draw the United States into yet another military conflict, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.
This is my blog about my experience at the first Fort Walton Beach, Florida (FWB) No Kings Day celebration. I heard about it from my dad, who mentioned going out there on a Saturday just to see if anyone showed up. I was surprised by the turnout, roughly 200 people showed up in this deep red area, and it was fun. I assume it’s how people feel attending concerts.
By the way, I’m not sure whether to call it a celebration, protest, or demonstration.
Preface: I didn’t prepare much. I brought a folding stool, a Palestinian flag, a painter's mask, and shooter earmuffs. I showed up over an hour late. Luckily, there were people handing out water and signs. Of course, the cops were present. I’ll link the only news coverage on the FWB event to provide more context. I wasn’t interviewed. FWB News Coverage
Part 1: The Assembly in the Park
When I arrived at the park where the celebration started, I recorded someone who looked like local PD, just in case they were aggressive (they weren’t, and nothing came of it). As I listened to the organizers give their instructions, I set up my protest attire by pulling out my Palestinian flag, still in its wrapping. I zip-tied one end to my backpack so I could grab another corner to hold it up like an ad-hoc flagstaff, allowing the flag to hang next to me. I never put on the painter's mask.
When I displayed the flag, another attendee with a flag complimented us on our willingness to be there (of course, I was still overwhelmed and excited to be in public).
As the crowd gathered, I walked around looking at kiosks, people, and signs. Among the more interesting attendees was a small group of Trump supporters, about five people (the reporter said one, but I can confirm two since I saw two holding the same flag), a topless lady with googly eyes over her nipples, and some people holding the trans flag. I visited a kiosk that was handing out "No Kings" signs (about 1' by 2', painted on one side) and asked if he had a trash can, giving him a plastic coat hanger. The first thing I did with the "No Kings" sign was place it next to the Trump supporters' sign that read "Trump is Your King" (approximation) and then moved away, telling those who saw, "You have to have fun at these events." I took a few pictures and videos of the event to read the signs after the celebration was over. Yes, I unintentionally got the topless lady in frame but didn’t get a clear picture of the googly eyes.
Before the march started, I saw an older white man holding a Trump flag. I approached him, wearing my Palestinian flag, and commented, "It must suck to have your political opinion in a crowd that disagrees with you." The older gentleman muttered and walked away to help someone who dropped something. As he did that, I thanked him for looking out for the protesters. I did this to signal to him that he’s not the only one with a hated and unpopular position. Maybe he will consider that his devotion to Trump is comparable to my stance on Palestine.
Part 2: The March (The Interesting Part)
I will preface this by saying that my car said it was 91°F (32.8°C) with 70% humidity and clear skies, so I can blame how I acted and why I waited to write this blog on that.
I came alone to the celebration, making it easy to find a spot next to people. The route of the demonstration was along the sidewalks on Highway 98 (I can affirm this is a major part of the county because it’s the primary way to move east-west).
The first people I walked with asked about my flag, thinking it was a Jordanian flag. I blurted out that it was Palestinian and mentioned that there is a Palestinian state in Jordan that was attacked by Israel in the '70s. As I walked with them, car drivers were handing out bottles of water, and some had decorated their cars with Trump paraphernalia.
Later on, I saw a man in his 30s holding the same Trump flag participating in the march. I audibly muttered, "I can be a troll," and got in front of him to hide his flag with the flag of true heroes who died saving babies from rubble—Palestine. The Trump supporter calmly approached me to talk about Palestine, claiming he had intel on the conflict and that I could ask him any questions. I affirmed that I had no questions. I pointed out that conversations about the Israeli genocide often lead straight to Hamas, and I never commented on it. The points I remember making are that baby rape is bad and that Israel is wrong for rounding up children and abusing them in concentration camps (in response to him saying Palestine or Hamas rapes babies), and that Israel is wrong for intentionally shooting babies. I mentioned that I’m an atheist but can stand with Palestinian Christians, Jews, and Muslims being slaughtered by Israel. I asked how I felt about a new government in Palestine, and I told him I’d have to research it, but it would be like here if Democrats or Republicans came into power—things would still suck; they’re "two flavors of shit," and Trump works for oligarchs. Eventually, he backed off to end the conversation.
I fell behind because my backpack fell apart, and other protesters helped me collect my stuff. People assured me that I should take my portable stool with me for the rest of the march. The cops told me to pick it up, so I blamed the heat for leaving it behind and picked it up. This put me next to an awesome older lady carrying her oxygen concentrator and her sign through the march. She commented on the topless lady with googly eyes as something indecent and objectionable. In my honesty, I said, "I found it hilarious." Later, she said, "That is gay," and I sat there confused. She later confirmed that was about Valimont, the Democrat who ran against Matt Gaetz, known for a sex trafficking scandal and who lost.
As we approached the crosswalk, the police put their vehicle in the intersection so we could cross. As I crossed, I thanked the cop for their service, which made them pause mid-order. I heard protesters behind me also thank the police. Of course, this is controversial, but I thanked the cops to make them more sympathetic to left-wing movements so they wouldn’t throw tear gas at a later protest. I was at a BLM protest in Beavercreek, Ohio, where we got gassed, and they pulled out shields and batons, surrounding us. I wouldn’t mind getting more leeway for leftist movements from the police.
I found someone wearing a red cross and said, "Always good to see first aid" (of course, I meant first responders). The awesome lady went as far as she could but complained about the heat. I offered her my stool and made sure she was okay. Other protesters and I fanned her down using our signs to provide shade. She asked one of the policemen to escort her across the highway to her car. Later, I heard there was a medical emergency and even saw an ambulance on the highway. I continued with the protest because I believe the people around are capable of helping.
I had fun with hecklers, like the teens making sounds, and I asked them for their best goat sounds. . Another heckler shouted, "Viva la Mexico!" and I repeated, "Viva la Mexico!" because "Viva la Mexico" is a great phrase to live by. Then I was told not to engage with hecklers.
Someone told me to go back to Palestine, and I reaffirmed, "I still stand with Palestine."
The Trump supporter was getting pushback from people who didn’t want him there. I stated my position that we can be inclusive and that "he's fine." When he mentioned our conversation, I told everyone that I told him, "I oppose the Israeli genocide."
Part 3: Rally and Returning to My Car
When we finished the loop, there was a rally by the local Democrat running for office. I stood to show off the Palestinian flag (as much as the heat sucks, Palestinians have it worse) and called on my current Republican House representative to protect Medicare and Medicaid, following the rally's instructions before leaving. Someone from Food Not Bombs approached me during the rally to fix my flag so it wasn’t in my hat. I assured them that I was experimenting with different placements and that they could use their discretion; that’s why the flag was like a cape. I made sure the Palestinian flag was in the shot of any camera I saw.
Luckily, I saw that awesome lady one last time, and she confirmed she was alright. I told her I was worried about her since I heard there was a medical emergency.
The heat really started to get to me, and I forgot where I parked my car (it’s like trying to find where you parked at Walmart but you’re more exhausted). I rested for a minute before placing my sign next to a chain-link fence next to the highway and returned to my car.

Ice agents arrested the New York City comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander at a federal building in Manhattan. He had spent the morning there observing immigration hearings and told an Associated Press reporter he had intended to accompany some immigrants out of the building. Footage of the arrest shows an agent telling Lander: 'You're obstructing'. Lander replies: 'You don't have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant' as he was led into a lift
Forse sarà semplicemente il caldo, o forse sarà più probabilmente il fatto che la mia relativa vecchiaia terribilmente e costantemente avanzante mi rende a poco a poco sempre più insofferente nei confronti dell’esistenza mia stessa già di per sé pesante oltre ogni accettabile grado, ma… ultimi e ultimissimi giorni, e sto davvero impazzendo e marcendo […]
pazzia topastica, pensando e facendo tomi nella mia marciscenza
Forse sarà semplicemente il caldo, o forse sarà più probabilmente il fatto che la mia relativa vecchiaia terribilmente e costantemente avanzante mi rende a poco a poco sempre più insofferente nei confronti dell’esistenza mia stessa già di per sé pesante oltre ogni accettabile grado, ma… ultimi e ultimissimi giorni, e sto davvero impazzendo e marcendo più del solito. Non ancora al punto da decompormi per davvero, e di questo ovviamente un po’ me ne dispiaccio, ma comunque ho l’acqua stagnante nella testa, che è un po’ ops. 💧
Tra tutto, i tomi, in questo inizio settimana che sa come al solito anche da weekend lungo a causa del mio ineluttabile stato di disoccupazione, mi stanno dando in particolar modo alla testa. I fottuti tomi! Eh si, purtroppo, perché l’altra giornata [è ruotata] esclusivamente [attorno al] sito [dei] tomi, oggi [sono accadute e/o mi sono concessa] solo cose di margine coi tomi — che magari tangono o forse non c’entrano con il principio cardine di questa mia tomomania; tra cui il semplicemente mettermi sul lettino con qualche tomo cartaceo in mano per più tempo del solito, sperando o che arrivi la notte o che il mio temporaneo gusto del marcire passi — e invece, nel mezzo… 🐸
Ero talmente fuori di testa — evidentemente molto più di oggi — quando ieri tra mattina e pomeriggio mi è venuta questa idea, priva di alcun senso pratico, davvero soltanto perché il mio cervello ha sul momento pensato che la cosa facesse ridere… e ora che tale stronzata esiste davvero non mi capacito di come io abbia mai potuto pensare qualcosa del genere. Tra il mio classico perdere tempo e le altre cose che ho fatto, ieri ho dato solo l’idea all’LLM, mi sono fatta dare la scaletta, e gli ho fatto scrivere i primi 3 capitoli; stamattina invece gli ho fatto generare il resto, ho giusto sistemato gli heading e rimosso le emoji a caso che all’IA piace inserire, e ne è dunque uscito fuori un PDF di quasi 100 pagine in formato ISO B5: “Un Tomo sui Tomi“. Non l’ho ovviamente letto affatto, e mai lo farò, era giusto per generare spazzatura. 😈
Quindi boh, questo è tutto. La mia anima è insomma al momento presa interamente in ostaggio da ciò che i tomi rappresentano, la mia mente è stata completamente divorata dalla parola tomo (o meglio, dal lemma tomo, per rimanere sulla stessa lunghezza d’onda di disagio linguistico-esistenziale) e dai concetti ad essa associati, e le mie viscere sentono il bisogno assoluto del contatto perenne con la cellulosa. Tempo uno o due ulteriori giorni in questa condizione tragicamente psicotica, e vi giurerò di voler diventare a mia volta un tomo, un blocco rettangolare e robusto di carta e cartone, l’oggetto fisico che più accuratamente può sintetizzare la mia stessa essenza vitale in confronto al noioso default di ossa e carne. 💥

The spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry has accused the European Union of acting as an “apologist” for Israel after the bloc’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas raised concerns over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
In a post on X, Esmaeil Baghaei directly addressed Kallas, urging her to “please stop acting as the aggressor’s apologist”.
He also said: “How can you express concern over Iran’s peaceful program that is under the most robust IAEA inspections and ignore the fact that the Israeli regime has a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons?!”
I am pro Ukraine... Iran is a Russian ally. Iran is the enemy of Ukraine. How they backed their sorry ass into this shiti corner is a them problem. They are far from a vicitm in any sense of the world. They blew their geo political load on supporting proxy groups which got rolled easily and quickly. Iran under invested into conventional army and israel is about wipe the remaining capabilities. This is a leadership issue, they fucked up. Now they will be punished for it. I just hope they do some serious damage ot Israel first.
A lot of pro Gaza people around here can't seem to understand that most western support for Gaza is just that support for Gaza. Nobody likes a clown theological regime in Tehran anymore than the Zionist savages in tel Aviv.
The Trump Organization has launched Trump Mobile and plans to release the T1, a smartphone that it says is "made in USA" at the same time that the iPhone 17 will launch. The problem is, the phone was made in China.
Marking ten years after the launch of Donald Trump's original presidential campaign, the Trump Organization has decided to launch its own mobile phone network. Dubbed Trump Mobile, it is a network that is being promoted as an All-American service," and heavily leaning on the Trump brand.
While the launch of a new mobile phone network will certainly draw an audience of Trump followers, it feels more like a cash-in on the Trump brand rather than a real attempt to take on the U.S. mobile market.
With one week left until voting ends in the city's Democratic mayoral primary, the senator announced his endorsement for progressive Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani.
"How does New York effectively address the crises in affordable housing, education, crime, drugs, transportation, childcare, and many more?" said Sanders (I-Vt.) in a statement. "The answers will not be easy, but one thing I do know: They will not be solved by a Democratic establishment dependent on super PACs funded by billionaires who could care less about the needs of working families. We need a new politics and new leadership which is prepared to stand up to powerful corporate interests and fight for the working class."
Former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez is set to report to federal prison on Tuesday to begin serving an 11-year sentence for accepting bribes of gold and cash and acting as an agent of Egypt. The New Jersey Democrat has been mocked for the crimes as “Gold Bar Bob,” according to his own lawyer.
Menendez’s lawyers revealed in court papers last month that he is expected to be housed at a facility in eastern Pennsylvania that has both a medium-security prison and a minimum-security prison camp. Given the white-collar nature of his crimes, it’s likely he’ll end up in the camp.
Pleading for leniency, Menendez told a judge at his sentencing in January: “I am far from a perfect man. I have made more than my share of mistakes and bad decisions. I’ve done far more good than bad.”
Menendez has also appeared to be angling for a pardon from President Donald Trump, aligning himself with the Republican’s criticisms of the judicial system, particularly in New York City.
For some chronic illnesses. Yeah. But imagine that for life. And that’s the best you feel. It can get worse. Sometimes for long periods, you don’t know if you will get back even to the that “shitty best you feel”. And even at your best, you barely feel a fraction as good as a healthy person.
You don’t get to feel okay your birthday, or on christmas, or when you need to do something special. You just feel ill, like a bad hangover or bad flu, in perpetuity.
That’s the reality for a lot of severe chronic illnesses.

Cock.li confirmed the validity of the breach based on sample data and column structure, stating that the exposed dataset includes roughly 1,023,800 user records. The compromised fields include email addresses, timestamps of first and last webmail logins, failed login attempt data, language preferences, and serialized Roundcube user settings such as webmail signatures and interface configurations. Additionally, approximately 93,000 contact entries associated with around 10,400 users were leaked, containing names, email addresses, comments, and vCard data.
Not sure why people ever trusted a meme email provider in the first place...
Despite this exposure, Cock.li emphasizes that no passwords, email message contents, or IP addresses were included in the breach. Passwords were stored in a separate sessions table, which was not among the leaked assets. The breach only affects users who accessed their accounts via Roundcube’s webmail interface at any point between 2016 and the feature’s deprecation earlier this month. Cock.li administrators sent targeted notifications to users with contact data included in the leak.
After Israel’s surprise drone attack on Iranian nuclear targets, many are concerned that China could be preparing for something similar in the United States.
The groups noted that after the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, California approved Senate Bill 98, which stipulated press rights amid protests.
Additionally, press groups noted that LAPD officers were given training following the 2020 protests on how to work safely with journalists.
"The investment in the training was in the millions, and some of the training has indeed been put to use by officers. But recent events have made it clear that the need for re-training is high," the National Press Club said.
The lawsuit seeks to stop the LAPD from engaging in unconstitutional acts against journalists.
While much of the news coverage has turned toward the US president’s mobilization of the military and what that means for his growing authoritarian tendencies, this is only half the story. To fully understand what is at stake in the protests, we can’t lose sight of the thing that drove people to protest in the first place: a violently unfair immigration system that is an affront to us all.
It is worth noting that this immigration system is not an original component of US governance. Whereas the first government under the US constitution formed in 1789, there were no federal immigration laws until the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, and even this law was limited in the sense that it banned a specific class of immigrants. The US did not have closed borders until the Immigration Act of 1924, which established national origins quotas across the board.
The primary justifications for these early immigration laws were xenophobia, eugenics, and overt racism. By the 1990s, however, multinational corporations understood that closed borders – especially combined with free trade agreements freeing multinational companies to shop around for “cheap” workers, while at the same time constraining the options of workers to move around and look for better jobs – were a powerful weapon in their arsenal to squeeze ever more profit out of global supply chains. While cleverly hidden behind discourses of “security” and “sovereignty,” our immigration system is actually a scam rigged to guarantee an upward flow of wealth at the cost of human rights.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) illustrates this dynamic. Signed in 1992, Nafta created a free trade zone among Mexico, Canada and the US, specifically making it easier for goods, capital and corporations to move freely while conspicuously ignoring the movement of workers. Far from an oversight, as the scholar Bill Ong Hing has written, this was the whole point of the agreement.
The primary justifications for early immigration laws were xenophobia, eugenics, and overt racism. Understanding the history of immigration is essential
Smith’s mother, April Newkirk, tells 11Alive that Chance, a baby boy, was born prematurely last week by emergency cesarean section. The infant weighs about 1 pound 13 ounces and is in the NICU.
Smith has been kept medically alive since February 19, when she was declared brain dead at eight weeks pregnant due to blood clots in her brain. Her family says doctors kept her on life support due to Georgia’s abortion law, the LIFE Act, which doesn’t clearly address cases of brain death, but causes confusion in medical environments. News of her condition made national headlines as she was kept on life-support while pregnant, and her family railed against the decision.
Adriana Smith, a 31-year-old brain-dead Atlanta woman, gave birth on June 13 and will be removed from life support on Tuesday under Georgia abortion laws, her family says.
The scientist responsible for overseeing the CDC team that collects data on Covid and RSV hospitalizations resigned on Monday.
Dr Fiona Havers told colleagues in an email that she no longer had confidence the data would be used “objectively or evaluated with appropriate scientific rigor to make evidence-based vaccine policy decisions”, according to Reuters.
She resigned before a planned meeting of a new vaccine panel put in place by Robert Kennedy Jr after he fired all 17 members of the CDC’s independent vaccine advisory panel. Kennedy also dropped a recommendation to get the Covid shot for healthy children and pregnant women.
