    PIGS PROTECTING CAPITAL

    Iran rejects the United States ceasefire proposal and any hint of nuclear talks and instead is talking to Russia about building new power facilities. There is also the beginnings of regional security talks as the gulf countries sort out how to stay safe without United States’ deep involvement. Could working together bring peace in Iran and Yemen? What of Israel and their Greater Israel Project? Israeli elections are mostly over and now the real struggle begins. Netanyahu “lost” because his power shrunk but given his circumstances, it looks more now like strategic retreat. The United States uses the same agency that imprisons innocent toddlers for the crime of notwhite to smuggle fugitive from justice Flavio Bolsonaro into Florida and thats just the beginning of the hypocrisy. Meanwhile, ICE terrorizing the entire US (including Puerto Rico) and Police Officers are assisting. The world is in agreement—Abolish ICE- but needs to come to terms with Abolish the Police as well. The chaos the current racist slave patrols reek on communities is inexcusable. Lots of talk about affordability lately and Red States LOVE to tout their “low cost of living” but often fail to talk about their poor wages, education, infrastructure and quality of life. Now, even the “low cost” argument is completely gone. We look to the Ohio housing market for details. White Cis Men have a problem with accountability. Sorry, its just true. Despite receiving significant deference from society they are not asked to take responsibility like the rest of society. Add money and the are basically immune to repercussions. Its society’s imperative to make that change. Republicans finally found voter fraud! Unfortunately for them it was their own paid influencers and the system caught and prosecuted them. Whoops.

    ELON MUSK IS FAILED CAPITALISM

    Israeli elections happened and the only thing we know for sure is that the current government will remain in place for the foreseeable future. There are a lot of moving parts and lots to keep an eye on going forward. Ansarallah has all but ended Saudi influence in the region and it turns out they got help from an unexpected and yet unsurprising source. People are making major power plays in the Gulf. Climate change as a weapon of war in Somolia. Elon Musk is looking for another merger to consolidate his power and boost his wealth yet again. Its necessary for him because his companies are all smoke and mirrors. Its a good news, bad news, worse news scenario for shareholders and anyone with money in US markets.

    ELECTION PREVIEW: EPSTEIN, TRANS FOLKS AND MONEY

    Donald Trump is a Pedophile. And if he has a problem with it, he can sue any one of us that say it—but he won’t. Dems relase report about what we know so far about Jeff and Don—two best buds committing crimes together in the 90’s. Republicans roll out Nikki Minaj and make her entertain MAGA crowds. This timeline gets stranger by the minute. Why do all Republicans seem co-opted in some way by pedophilia? Nikki being no exception. There is some cynicism about the timing of the release of 30 year old evidence by the Dems and plenty of criticism to go around of certain candidates. Its never okay to cave on human rights and yet some Dems do. They say its about polling, but mamny of the same candidates take extremely unpopular positions on things like flock and data centers.

    PRE-ELECTION DENIALISM, UNEDUCATED PEOPLE AND AI

    Before it even starts, Trump is already denying election results in Alaska. Only a completely illiterate person wouldnt understand the new ballots but given the current state of literacy…Either way, its going to be long road ahead. The Education system is a key driver of protest in France. The US has been defunding education for decades and it f*****g shows. The numbers are terrifying. Artificial Intelligence is making everyone a little dumber, but Ai KPop Pregnancies might spell the end for all of us, honestly.

    KUSHNER, ABRAHAM ACCOMPLICES AND LULA WINS!!

    Finally some good news for the planet—Lula wins in Brazil!! Despite massive interference by Meta, X and the rest of the US oligarchs, Bolosnara has been defeated. The Jared Kushner story has to be one of the most clear cut crimes ever laid out and yet the media’s lack of curiousity is nearly as criminal. Imagine if there was a real opposition party, we would never have heard from any of these crooks after Trump’s first term. Israel has found an excuse to level Hebron in the West Bank and they are taking it. The Kushner story reminds us how these countries all turn a blind eye to each other’s war crimes. Quick overview of war from West Asia to Africa where the Gulf States and Israel are still involved. Ai is not only not curing cancer or heloing you find the best price on things—its doing the opposite. We are being held hostage by Oligarchs who dont care about humanity at all and are perfectly willing to burn the world down. We cant let em.

    ABSOLUTE PIGS!!

    Israel’s elections are coming up and recent polling shows Netanyahu can’t win. There is no candidate who is going to be better, however. Just a bunch of different versions of Bibi. The question is, will Netanyahu let go of power at all? Ai companies continue to commit crimes while their financials become harder and harder to defend. Bossware, an Ai application for the workplace is shockingly intrusive. We do not hate billionaires enough. Republicans double and triple down on Ramasamy’s insanely gross campaign ad. Will it move the needle for the GOP? Unlikely as all thier candidates receiving money from Epstein friend’s hasn’t. Its really not surprising when you listen in on these Christian far-right preachers as to why Republicans find it so easy to justify their own actions. Speaking of preachers, the Talarico campaign seems to be trying to take every side of every issue. Trying to be all things to all people rarely works, lets hope its enough in Texas.

    TRANSGENDER WITCHES

    The GOP is pulling out all the stops. They are spending money boosting 3rd parties, controlling social media and sending agitators to townhalls. And its not working. They are running every play in the hate playbook including their current favorite, Trans Panic. Are people actually dumb enough to fall for this? No. Which means they will have to try something else. Showing up in droves is great defense. Then we wait and see how they react the day after Election Day. Get full access to DEREALiZATIONNATiON Media Network at jwardle13.substack.com/subscribe

    PRETTY PRO-RIOT, ACTUALLY

    France, Colombia, Albania, Spain, Brazil, Germany—everywhere people are rising up against the system that has violently oppressed people for centuries. Predictably, a large number of the oppressed are jumping to to the defense of the Oppressor. Many more are being convinced that the other oppressed are their problem. Squishy lib Centrism is responsible for it all. The elite governing bodies and the billionaires who buy them are intent on preserving the system of violence, so they spread right-wing propaganda to try to capture the energy with fascism. The only answer right now is the pure left-wing solidarity. Radical and all-inclusive—its long past time we stood together.
