Caitlin Elevate your ambitions -- insclife

US Secretary of State Tony Blinken tweeted in celebration of Pakistan's preparations for "free and fair elections" on Wednesday, a week after it was revealed that the US pressured Pakistan to oust its popular democratically elected prime minister Imran Khan last year.

Rename The Secretary Of State The Secretary Of Hypocrisy

The US Air Force is clearing out jungles in the Pacific and replacing them with airfields for its coming war with China,
because there exist people on this earth who look at a jungle and think, "This should be replaced with an airfield to prepare for a war with China."

The US Air Force Is Clearing Out Jungles In The Pacific To Prepare For War With China

It's a little bit bomby in Gaza today,
at least that's what the news men say.

Israel's victims were "murdered" and "killed"
and all mourn the innocent blood that was spilled,

but in Gaza explosives just fall from the air
and nobody mentions who launched them, from where.

They talk about "blasts" and how buildings were "hit".
Who blasted and hit them? Eh, who gives a shit.

It's a little bit bomby outside, that's the weather.
Put up your umbrellas, dudes. Get it together.

It's A Little Bit Bomby In Gaza Today

Israel has lost the argument. Permanently. There's no coming back from this.

Israel Has Permanently Lost The Argument

The thing is there's only so much propaganda spin you can put on the murder of thousands of children.

With other imperial military actions the propagandists had an easier time spinning things. Oh no those evil communists are taking over Vietnam, we need to stop them! Oh no Saddam's got WMDs, we need to get him! Oh no Gaddafi's gonna kill and rape all those Libyans, we have a responsibility to protect them!

In Gaza, Israel and its western backers are massacring children by the thousands with a shockingly vicious bombing campaign that is turning entire neighborhoods into gravel. They're raining down military explosives on a giant concentration camp that is densely populated by children. There's only so much a propagandist can do with that.

There's Only So Much Propaganda Spin You Can Put On The Murder Of Thousands Of Children

Before they launch missiles, they launch propaganda campaigns. Before they roll out tanks, they roll out narratives. Everyone who helps manufacture consent for the killing in Gaza is just as culpable for the murder of those thousands of children as the people dropping the bombs.

Before They Launch Missiles, They Launch Propaganda Campaigns

You see this kind of thing over and over again from Israel apologists. They tell you things you absolutely know to be false in your own direct perception, over and over and over again, in the hope that they can overwhelm your mind. That's what's happening when they tell you Israel is "defending itself" and "targeting Hamas" when they're mostly killing women and children and bombing entire city blocks into powder, and that's what's happening when they tell you over and over again that you hate Jews and love terrorists even when you know for a fact that you don't.

Israel Apologists Relentlessly Gaslight And Attack Our Sense Of Reality

In what is arguably the most liberal thing ever to have happened in all of human history, the Biden administration has announced its plans to develop a US National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia even as it helps Israel massacre Muslims by the thousands in Gaza.

Biden 'Countering Islamophobia' While Incinerating Gaza Is The Most Democrat Thing Ever

Because the western empire has been raining military explosives upon the middle east continuously for many years now, westerners have become desensitized to news reports about bombings happening there. If you tell a westerner "There's been a bombing!" with anguish in your voice, they'll immediately assume you're talking about a terrorist attack in New York or London or Paris, not in the middle east. Westerners tend to regard bombings in the middle east as simply the normal state of affairs, as though bombs falling from the sky is just what the weather is like over there.

It's the most 2020s thing in the world that there's an active genocide currently underway and it's the people who oppose it who are being called Nazis.

Getting Called A Nazi For Opposing A Genocide

Biden could end this with one phone call. With. One. Phone call. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying or ignorant. This mass slaughter is happening because Washington wants it to happen.

When Israel completely cut off Gaza's communications last month, Washington called and ordered them to restore it, and connections were immediately restored. It's always been this way; in 1982 Israel's assault on Lebanon was halted with a phone call from President Reagan.

They can end this assault just as easily. Don't let the White House frame itself as a passive witness to this butchery.
