Washington Says "Journalism Is Not A Crime" While Working To Criminalize Journalism
08/04/2023 Duración: 04minThe use of the phrase "journalism is not a crime" is an interesting choice since the most common individual case you'll hear it used in reference to is surely that of Julian Assange, who has been locked in a maximum security prison for four years while the US government works to extradite him for the crime of good journalism. Every pro-Assange demonstration I've ever been to has featured signs with some variation of the phrase "journalism is not a crime," and any Assange supporter will be intimately familiar with that refrain. So as an Assange supporter it sounds a bit odd to hear that slogan rolled out by two DC swamp monsters who have both enthusiastically supported the persecution of the world's most famous journalist.

The West Has Been Planning To Crush China For A Very Long Time
07/04/2023 Duración: 08minChurchill: "I think we shall have to take the Chinese in hand and regulate them. I believe that as civilized nations become more powerful they will get more ruthless, and the time will come when the world will impatiently bear the existence of great barbaric nations who may at any time arm themselves and menace civilized nations. I believe in the ultimate partition of China—I mean ultimate. I hope we shall not have to do it in our day. The Aryan stock is bound to triumph." Reading by Tim Foley.

For The Record, NPR Absolutely Is US State Propaganda
06/04/2023 Duración: 09minSo it is a bit funny that John Lansing is now cited complaining about NPR being labeled "state-affiliated media" on Twitter, given that he has devoted his life to promulgating US state-affiliated media. NPR receives funding from the US government, consistently advances the information interests of the US government, and is routinely run by professional propagandists of the US government. You could spend hours of your life just reading through Fair.org's "NPR" section to see the many, many ways that platform has exhibited wild biases to grease the wheels of the US empire. If NPR is not state-affiliated media, then nobody is. Reading by Tim Foley.

Assange Is The Greatest Journalist Of All Time
05/04/2023 Duración: 06minAssange is not only the world's greatest living journalist, he is the greatest journalist who has ever lived. There's really no valid argument against this. Seriously, name me a superior journalist. You can't. Assange began his journalism career by revolutionizing source protection for the digital age, then proceeded to break some of the biggest stories of the century. There's no one who can hold a candle to him, living or dead. The fact that he is now in prison for doing great journalism tells you everything you need to know about our society. And now he's in a maximum security prison, solely and exclusively because he was better at doing the best kind of journalism than anyone else in the world. That is the kind of civilization you live in. The kind that imprisons the best journalist of all time for doing journalism. Reading by Tim Foley.

Marco Rubio Accidentally Makes A Great Argument Against US Dollar Hegemony
03/04/2023 Duración: 05min“Just today, Brazil, the largest country in the Western Hemisphere, cut a trade deal with China," said Rubio. "They're going to, from now on, do trade in their own currencies, get right around the dollar. They're creating a secondary economy in the world totally independent of the United States. We won't have to talk about sanctions in five years, because there'll be so many countries transacting in currencies other than the dollar that we won't have the ability to sanction them." Reading by Tim Foley.

Enslaving The World To Stop Chinese Tyranny
02/04/2023 Duración: 07minThe US needs to stop China's rise by militarily encircling it and crippling nations who are aligned with it and waging economic warfare and staging proxy wars and saturating the world in propaganda and crushing free speech, because otherwise a tyrannical regime might take over. Reading by Tim Foley.

Australia Isn't A Nation, It's A US Military Base With Kangaroos
01/04/2023 Duración: 06minWe're so far under Washington's thumb that we're not even allowed to know if there are American nukes in our country, and our own government can't even advocate in defense of its own citizen when he's being persecuted for the crime of good journalism. Reading by Tim Foley.

AUKUS Exists To Manage The Risks Created By Its Existence
30/03/2023 Duración: 10min"NATO exists to manage the risks created by its existence,” Professor Richard Sakwa once wrote in an attempt to articulate the absurdity of the military alliance's provocative nature on the world stage. At some point Australians must wake up to the fact that this is equally true of AUKUS: we're told the military alliance exists for our protection, but its very existence makes us less safe. Reading by Tim Foley.

Imagine If All Officials Were Interrogated By Reporters Like This
29/03/2023 Duración: 07minA fascinating exchange took place at a UN press briefing the other day between China Global Television Network's Xu Dezhi and the UN's Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General Farhan Haq about the US military occupation of Syria. The exchange is interesting both for the wild pro-US bias shown by a UN official, and for the way it illustrates how much truth can be exposed when journalists do what they're supposed to do in the press gallery. Reading by Tim Foley.

It's Immoral To Serve In An Immoral Military
28/03/2023 Duración: 06minDeciding to enter the military is only morally justifiable if your country's military is used in a moral and just way. There's a weird, power-serving taboo against saying this which is born of the idea that it's more important to protect the feelings of "our troops" than to discourage people from enlisting in the most murderous war machine on earth, but it's true. Reading by Tim Foley.

The New York Times Is A Disgusting Militarist Smut Rag
27/03/2023 Duración: 09minThe "paper of record" for the most murderous and tyrannical nation on earth, The New York Times has been run by the same family since the late 1800s, during which time it has supported every depraved American war and has reliably dished out propaganda to manufacture consent for the political status quo necessary for the operation of a globe-spanning empire that is fueled by human blood and suffering. It is a plague upon our world, and it should be destroyed, buried, and peed on. And I am being charitable. Reading by Tim Foley.

MSNBC Pundit Goes To Fight In Ukraine, Acts Like A Disruptive Troll And Leaves
26/03/2023 Duración: 04minThis gruelling war has had very little about it that draws a smile, but at least we'll always have the story of an odious imperial spinmeister flying to Ukraine to fight the Russians only to go home in disgrace while being spurned by his fellow propagandists after acting like an infantile troll. Reading by Tim Foley.

Syrians Have Every Right To Attack US Occupiers
25/03/2023 Duración: 05minPeople who live in the Middle East have every right to attack the occupying forces there whose presence they oppose, and those occupying forces do not have any legitimate right to retaliate. Reading by Tim Foley.

They're Rebooting "Axis Of Evil" On The 20th Anniversary Of The Iraq Invasion
24/03/2023 Duración: 09minThe western political/media class has suddenly resurrected the phrase "Axis of Evil" in recent days to refer to the increasing intimacy between Russia and China, just in time for the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Reading by Tim Foley.

US Officials Really, REALLY Want You To Know The US Is The World's "Leader"
23/03/2023 Duración: 05minIn response to questions he received during a press conference on Monday about Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin cementing a "new era" in strategic partnership between China and Russia, the White House National Security Council's John Kirby made no fewer than seven assertions that the US is the "leader" of the world. Reading by Tim Foley.

John Bolton's Prominence In The Media Proves Our Entire Society Is Diseased
21/03/2023 Duración: 08minIt's actually a completely damning indictment of all western media if you think about it, and really of our entire civilization. The fact that an actual, literal psychopath whose entire goal in life is to try to get as many people killed by violence as he possibly can at every opportunity is routinely given columns and interviews in The Washington Post, and is regularly brought on CNN as an expert analyst, proves our entire society is diseased. Reading by Tim Foley.

Empire-Funded Think Tanks Are Not Valid Sources
20/03/2023 Duración: 06minATTENTION JOURNALISTS: It is never, ever acceptable, under any circumstances, to cite think tanks funded by governments and the military industrial complex as sources of information or expertise on matters of national security or foreign affairs. If you do cite them (and, again, don't), then at the very least you need to disclose the conflict of interest their funding causes in your reporting, and you need to make it abundantly clear to your audience that it is a conflict of interest. Reading by Tim Foley.

Stop Calling The Iraq War A 'Mistake'
18/03/2023 Duración: 05minStop calling the Iraq War a "mistake". When you make a mistake, you make changes to ensure that mistake is not repeated. Nobody responsible for that invasion suffered any consequences of any kind, zero policy changes were made, and the unipolarist ideology which led to it has become more entrenched than ever. Reading by Tim Foley.

It's Good To Be Mean To War Propagandists
16/03/2023 Duración: 06minWatching Keating tear strips off all those war pornographers was so satisfying because it showed Australians the appropriate emotional posture to have toward these disgusting freaks. That's the bare minimum level of contempt they should always be treated with. Australians who don't want a war with China are still unclear about how to respond to this deluge of mass media war propaganda our country is being smashed with, and Keating showed exactly how to respond; he provided a solid model for us all.
