Jewish Terrorist Slaughters Australians

Jewish Benjamin Cohen stabs 7 people to death in Australia.

Including a small baby still fighting for its life.

If he were Muslim, the media would have highlighted his religion and that he were a terrorist.

Therefore it’s only fair and right to highlight his religion and label him a terrorist too.

Top ten dumbest things empire propagandists ask us to believe:

1. That the US war machine has been surrounding its top two rivals China and Russia with war machinery as an act of defense, rather than an extremely provocative act of aggression.

2. That the war in Ukraine simultaneously (A) was completely unprovoked, and (B) just coincidentally happens to massively advance US strategic interests and therefore should be funded as much as possible.

3. That, okay, all those other wars were based on lies and resulted in disaster, but that couldn’t possibly be the case for this current war.

4. That your country’s foreign policy is determined by your official elected government, even though the foreign policy remains the same regardless of who is in office.

5. That it is only by pure coincidence that your nation’s population remains in a perpetual 50–50 deadlock which prevents anyone’s votes from changing the status quo, and the status quo just happens to be perpetually frozen along lines that hugely advantage the rich and powerful.

6. That the only reason anyone could possibly be critical of the most dangerous impulses of the world’s most powerful and destructive government is if they are a secret agent working for the enemies of that government.

7. That the western empire which spent the last two decades murdering Muslims in the Middle East suddenly cares very deeply about the Muslims in China.

8. That Putin invaded Ukraine solely because he is evil and hates freedom, and that the empire is pouring weapons into Ukraine because it loves Ukrainians and wants to protect their freedom and democracy.

9. That foreign propaganda and influence operations are significantly manipulating the way westerners think and vote, but the plutocrats who fully control all the most influential platforms in the western world are not.

10. That we need to be worrying about tyrannical enemies in Beijing and Moscow, instead of tyrannical enemies a lot closer to home.

11. That the free press only exists in the United States and allied countries.

Iran didn't sentence 15k people to death. Or order rape of virgins. People need to learn to identify news that's clearly false. I've said before that fake news is always unbelievably sensational because that's what makes it grab your attention. Iraqi soliders pulled babies out of the incubators. Viagra taken to rape women by Gaddafi's soldiers. It's a pattern.

Iran did detain protestors yes. Eg for me the story about rape of virgins didn't make sense because Pakistan is way more conservative imo than Iran. Like actually conservative by laws. Lack of education for women etc whereas Iranian women are like some of the most educated in the world, have access to higher education for like 80+% of female population. Anyway you'd may be hear abt something like that in the tribal panchiat in Pakistan. The story just seemed like it was transplanted from another region onto Iran

The New York Times has always acted as the propaganda arm of the State Dept., Pentagon and US Defense Contractors.

The State Dept has spent the last year pushing anti-China narratives and, like clockwork, the New York Times, acting on behalf of the Neocons in the State Dept., starts redbaiting and pushing BS stories to manufacture consent for a conflict with China.

Think of the balloon escapades...

It seems the Pentagon and the State Dept are already prepared to move on from Ukraine (now that it's become obvious they're losing) so they can restock their ammunition supplies in preparation for a proxy war, self-destructive economic war and, if need be, a hot war.

If Trump wins 2024, he will halt all funding for Ukraine, negotiate an end to conflict with Putin, thus preventing WW3.

The reason Biden and the Deep State cannot negotiate with Putin, is because Putin wants their heads for crimes against humanity, namely for manufacturing C19.

This is not speculation on my part. Russian MIL literally listed Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and George Soros, as being the main ideologists behind the plot to manufacture coronavirus strains in Ukraine, with US DoD funding, and there is an open source paper trail to back it up. You can debate on whether or not you believe them, but the reality is, Putin wants the “Western Elites” and Xi agrees with him.

It’s not hyperbolic to say that this is life or death for the Deep State actors. If Trump wins and negotiates a settlement with Putin, Russian MIL have already been demanding for activation of Articles V and VI of the Biological Weapons Treaty, which would result in a Security Council investigation and international military tribunals. That’s what Russian MIL have been demanding at the UN for nearly 2 years now. And that’s just the biological stuff, not even accounting for the whole 2014 coup, shelling the Donbas, funding and supporting Ukraine in 2022, Nord Stream, etc.

What do you think Trump is going to say? No? Trump wants to prosecute the exact same people for crimes against humanity! Putin is literally demanding that all of Trump’s enemies trying to imprison him, must be prosecuted by military tribunal… How could Trump say no to that?! He’d be killing multiple birds with one stone. And Trump’s DOJ wouldn’t have to do the prosecuting. It would be a coalition of military judges from different countries around the world. It would be far more legitimate and no way could the Dems cry “partisanship”. It’s international law.

Y’all might think it’s crazy, but this is the trajectory we are headed on if Trump wins, which is why the Biden regime are going to do everything in their power to prevent Trump from winning. If they fail, they will be treated as international war criminals, and will face the ultimate penalty.

Extinction Level Event (for the deep state, for globalism, for all their synvophants in levels of government and the MSM).

Let’s say Russia and China are lying, and the US did not manufacture C19.

Then why would Fauci, Collins, and the US government, put so much effort into covering up the lab origins?

Why are the US and their allies the only ones NOT interested in who caused a global pandemic?

Why did government health agencies and Big Tech censor scientists and journalists who pointed out its lab origins? If someone else created this virus, why are the US government so invested in covering up who is responsible? Over a million Americans died, shouldn’t they be tirelessly trying to find out who killed all those people?

Who benefited from the pandemic? American Pharmaceutical companies, that began the vaccine development BEFORE the pandemic. Who funds the MSM and Deep State politicians? Big Pharma.

If Russia and China are lying, why is it that the US veto every request at the UN Security Council for a joint investigation into the origins of C19?

There are two options. Elements within the US are responsible, or, a different entity is responsible and the US government went out of their way to cover it up.

The paper trail confirms it’s the former, but either way, heads must roll.

Funny how despite China apparently being an impenetrable autocratic fortress where the CCP exercises supreme control over society and the flow of information photos and videos and posts about the anti-lockdown protests keep freely turning up everywhere for the carrd crowd to #signalboost and Western MSM journalists are freely walking around China covering the protests and interviewing people. Almost like it's a highly connected country of 1.4 billion people and not The Great Walled Garden of Emperor Xi.

[metamatar]

china is a baby waby world power all it can do to israel is pass a few resolutions condemning israel in alignment with the rest of the world and not prosecute the chinese bureaucrats who are delaying shipments while continuing to trade in the billions with a country whose entire purpose is the genocidal extermination of palestinians. if it adopted a policy against western msm it would be utterly destroyed!!! i swear some of you treat china the way liberals treat the united states.

[machine-saint]

i think i've finally been able to identify why posts like this one from brendanicus annoy me:

I've made this post way too many times already but again, any analysis of Russian state-sponsored homo/transphobia is incomplete without considering 1) the disastrous fallout of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the political ascendancy of US-backed reactionaries such as Putin, and 2) the blowback effect the use of LGBTQ rights by US imperialism to justify itself has had not just in Russia but throughout the world, is incomplete and incorrect.

LGBTQ people being designated “extremists” in Russia especially can’t be considered in isolation from the extremely vile conflation of LGBTQ people and Ukrainian nationalism (including Banderite Nazi apologia) we’ve seen aggressively pushed by the US + Ukrainian governments and Western MSM in the last two years, which I cannot stress enough is possibly one of the worst things in terms of LGBTQ rights to happen in the FSU. We’re seeing the same thing play out in Palestine with occupiers hoisting the pride flag in literal bombed out ruins and it will have similarly disastrous consequences for LGBTQ people in SWANA. This is why reactionary homonationalism and imperialism must be dismantled as quickly and aggressively as possible.

in that doesn't outright say anything (it just mentions that an analysis without certain factors would be incomplete!) but it heavily implies that, like, the 'blame' (to the extent that that's a coherent thing) should be laid at the feet of the US, Ukraine, et al. i'm going to focus on Russia here since it's a world player in its own right.

the problem is that if you want to do this sort of causal chain analysis, you can't just stop at "well, the West did it". why is there the usage of LGBTQ/pride symbols in the first place? the "LGBT propaganda law" dates to 2013, well before "the last two years". and of course you can trace the chain back to why that law was passed, etc etc etc.

like, suppose I said that "any analysis of Christian nationalism in the united states is incomplete without considering the blowback effects of the Soviet Union being an atheist state and atheism being doctrine of many Communist parties.". is this true? sure; "under god" was added to the pledge in the 50s. but if I went on to say that Soviet state atheism was "one of the worst things in terms of religious neutrality to happen in the USA", people would wonder why I'm blaming the Soviet Union for what the USA does in reaction!

feels like a very "the people that I like don't have agency when they do things I don't like" kind of deal

I'm not trying to be rude/gen! I saw a douyin you posted that talked about gay people- isn't homosexuality considered bad/not supported in China? Or is it similar to the united states where there are groups of people for/against+media doesn't depict it often? I'm really curious and this isn't me trying to have an argument, I just genuinely want to understand!

Thank you so much for your videos you subtitle, I know how much work translating and subtitling can be so your work is super inspirational ^-^ have a wonderful day!!!

(feel free to delete/not answer if u don't want to-)

Not sure which douyin you're talking about in particular, since I post a lot of douyins that talk about gay people/have gay people in them... also I'm not really qualified to answer this seeing as I don't live in China, but:

"Is it considered bad/not supported in China?"

This will depend on who you ask.

Chinese internet spaces, like English-speaking internet spaces, tend to be more in favor of LGBT people or at least they will be more neutral toward them (there is a common saying that you must/it is enough to respect queer people as human beings even if you don't accept or understand them...which of course sounds rather homophobic to our ears, but that's the neutral outlook). The younger generation and college kids are more progressive on LGBT issues, which has historically been the case in the U.S/west as well.

Still, being homophobic publicly won't earn you universal backlash, and the bar for what is considered homophobic is different in China.

The source for homophobia is not the same, either. In the U.S/West, much of homophobia is rooted in Christianity/religion and the idea that homophobia is a straight up an abomination and a sin and you're going to hell forever (or whatever).

This is not so much the case in China for the obvious reason that it is not a Christian majority country and Christian ideals do not infect every aspect of society. The anti-gay stances tend to be more so rooted in the fact that homosexuals are unfilial, which to many, is practically the worst thing you can be.

There's a lot more to it, but that's my quick answer.

"Or is it similar to the united states where there are groups of people for/against+media doesn't depict it often?"

Yes, but I think this part of your question reveals the reason you've asked me this lol, which is because of your own pre-conceived notions based on the media you consume. It's a popular oversimplification to say that China hates gays therefore xyz, and every time there is anything remotely anti-LGBT going on in China, Western media is all over it like a pack of wild hyenas.

Alls this to say, that kind of one-sided MSM coverage probably leads to the idea for some that you're somehow not allowed to talk about or publicly mention gay people in China, or that you'll get Disappeared™ if you say 'gay'...which is certainly not the reality. Case in point: the douyins I've translated, which show gay people and show people at public venues talking about gay people, are not taken down for the mere mention or support of gay people.

Statistically speaking, China has the largest LGBT community in the world, so it's not like people are gonna pretend queer folk don't exist or aren't a part of society. There are pro-LGBT activists in China (of course they face a lot of obstacles) and LGBT resources/centers. There's gay social/dating apps specifically for Chinese markets. Etc etc etc.

It'd be incorrect to exaggerate the acceptance of the LGBT in China based on the prevalence of LGBT content seen on the Chinese web, but at the same time, I don't think you can say it's really considered bad/not supported across the board (especially considering the fraction of the population who must themselves be queer), but social and legal acceptance is still lagging behind that of some other countries for sure.

TL;DR

Is it considered bad? Yes and no, and for different reasons than you might expect.

LGBT visibility in media in China is lower than in the west but not non-existent, and especially not so on the internet (compared to traditional TV). Intolerance and support both exist.

Support for LGBT people is in constant flux, just as it is in the west, though I would guess that the overall modern trend has been positive.

Just a heads up

I know I mostly post about health and fitness, photography, recipes, dogs, and personal journal entries. However I will post occasional political posts, mostly related to Palestine and Israel.

As a granddaughter of a Palestinian from Ramallah and who has family living there, I've heard firsthand stories about the occupation from them as a child. I was 9, had no access to mainstream media because I was too young to understand it, I only heard stories from family members and learned about all the horrors of the reality of how Palestinians live under an illegal occupation. This was around the time of the Second Intifada.

I'm an American who was born and raised in this country. I also have a Jordanian dad and have lived in Jordan for 3 years as a kid, but I feel very disconnected from my Jordanian identity because I did not feel like I was accepted at all by Jordanians due to being a "foreigner". Despite all that, I still have always sympathized with the Palestinian cause even as an assimilated American and someone who feels disconnected from and rejected by their Arab identity.

I've been speaking about Palestine since I was a child, I've been bullied and harassed for defending Palestine. Back in the day, you were called a terrorist or a N@zi for defending Palestine as western society was overwhelmingly pro-Israel. So you felt like you were wrong or you were the bad guy but deep down you knew the truth because you heard firsthand stories instead of being brainwashed by the western media which pushes a heavy zionist focused agenda. I knew I was advocating for peace, so why was I called a terrorist?

It's nice to see younger generations spread the word on Palestine. This is something that wouldn't have happened 10 years ago. So this shift in perspective helps a lot. People are relying less on MSM and Israel is losing the media war. My grandmother would be so happy.

So I will continue to speak about the illegal occupation, ethnic cleansing, apartheid system, and genocide Palestinian civilians are experiencing at the hands of the IDF and Israeli politicians. And I say this as kindly as possible, if you are a follower of mine and don't like my posts, feel free to unfollow and block me. This political issue is something I've been passionate and concerned about for almost 20 years given that it's something that my loved ones are victims of.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 RUSSIAN BLACK SEA FLEET COMMANDER VIKTOR SOKOLOV SEEN IN VIDEO ONE DAY AFTER UKRAINE CLAIMS HE WAS KILLED IN MISSILE STRIKE

Just one day after Ukrainian Officials told Western media they had killed the Russian Black Sea Fleet Commander, Admiral Viktor Sokolov in a missile strike, the Commander is seen attending a meeting and taking part in a conference with Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu in video and photos released by the Russian MoD.

Ukraine's Special Forces had told Western media on Monday that the Russian Commander had been killed in a missile strike along with 33 other officers in the Crimean HQ of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The statement also claimed another 105 had been wounded in the attack.

Though the statement itself did not mention Sokolov by name, Advisor to Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Anton Gerashchenko posted the Admiral's name and photo on social media.

Admiral Sokolov was appointed Commander of the Black Sea Fleet in September 2022.

#source

🤡 I didn't want to post about this news earlier because I knew there was like a 75% chance Sokolov would turn up in the next day or two.

Amusing I know to wait to publish Ukrainian claims, but the MSM doesn't. They also misspelled his name in the article title subheading.

US energy department saying with "low confidence" that covid might have been a lab leak. Whereas before this was considered a conspiracy theory, it is now being entertained. And I wonder if they're trying to blame China in western msm.

If covid was a bioweapon, then it would have been the US that created it. Like they did that powder form of anthrax and that bacteria they sprayed over the bay area back in the 60s or 70s.
