For three decades, I worked inside multinational projects across Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia—often tied to the machinery of U.S. imperial power. What I saw convinced me: no “reform” can sanitize a system built on exploitation. 🧵⬇️

Hard to see class consciousness in America — but that’s by design. 400 years, from the Pilgrims to slavery to systems dividing workers, made it nearly impossible to connect the dots. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen — just that it’ll take seriously hard work. #Solidarity

NATO’s “precision warfare” crumbles against Russia’s artillery reality. Moscow built for sustained, industrial-scale war — NATO built for PR optics. The frontlines in Ukraine tell the story mile by bloody mile.

Trump calls it “Everlasting Peace,” but it’s really a PR ceasefire. Hostages out, troops pulled back “to an agreed line”—while Gaza stays under siege. Until Palestinians are free and sovereign, there is no peace—only a pause in genocide. #Gaza #Palestine www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump says Israel and Hamas 'both sign off' on first phase of Gaza peace plan

The US president says the first phase of the deal secures the exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners and the start of an Israeli withdrawal.

ICE is a fascist tool of oppression, a scourge on humanity. Every officer and federal employee complicit in this cruelty should bear the full weight of their shame.

US liquor exports to Canada drop 85% in 2025. Trump never grasped how a declining US empire and economy cannot impose tariffs on the world without all sorts of very costly retaliation.

Israel is strategically acquiring tech companies and leveraging digital platforms to shape global narratives, particularly concerning its actions in Gaza. This isn't just about economic expansion—it's a calculated move to control information flows and influence public perception.

We live in a system that rewards psychopaths, criminals, and liars. That’s the brutal truth of capitalism—a machine built for extraction, exploitation, and keeping the rich on top while everyone else pays the price.

Billionaires don’t compete—they cheat. Under capitalism, winning means rigging the rules and silencing the truth. I’ve been erased from these platforms for exposing corruption. Cheat. Censor. Repeat. That’s capitalism.

Billionaires hoard trillions in stock value while taxpayers fund their data centers. Feudalism, but with fiber optics.

Americans should really study this country’s roots in religious extremism. The first settlers weren’t freedom-loving pilgrims — they were European zealots fleeing persecution to build their own theocracy on stolen land. Many of their beliefs still shape U.S. ideology today.

The crises confronting Generation Z and all workers are not natural phenomena but deliberate mechanisms of capitalist control.

STOP treating these capitalists and their cronies like credible sources. They’re not journalists or experts—they’re the architects of imperial collapse. A criminal cabal that looted our futures, wrecked our planet, and still dares to lecture us about “responsibility.”
