Kit Klarenberg reporting on a new far-reaching investigation on the CIA's twisted MK Ultra program and its experiments on people of color in the United States.

Answers and accountability is something we'll never get under the Capitalist system, because the Capitalist Class cannot allow any precedent set that allows for holding members of the Capitalist Class accountable for any kind of actions they take, regardless of the harm caused. And in this case, an unprecedented amount of harm was done to Left movements within the communities of people of color in the US as the CIA attempted to use mind control methods to suppress communities of color from organizing radical political organizations.

How sick do you have to be to use political prisoners to experiment with mind control methods? Our Wall Street sponsored Government has NO ethical or moral boundaries they aren't willing to violate to retain their power and control.

Our Capitalist Elites biggest fear is organized resistance to Capitalist control and Revolutionary Socialist movements. By labeling followers of anti-Capitalist organizations and ideologies as mentally ill, our government used this as a Medical excuse to experiment on, harm and suppress Anti-Capitalist groups and communities of color, ravaging those movements and their ability to affect policy as they had begun to do in the 1960's.

"The darkness of MKULTRA lingers still, calling for urgent answers and transparency. America’s Black community deserves nothing less than the full extent of these operations exposed; culprits held accountable, and rightful compensation for survivors. As the shadows of the past stretch into the present, the demand for truth rings louder than ever, and justice becomes an undeniable imperative."

Couldn't have said it better myself. Major thanks to Anthropologist Orisanmi Burton for publishing this incredibly dark report, and Truthout and MPN for reporting on it.

This was a pernicious lie that was promoted by Biden and his administration to justify Israel’s attacking of hospitals. Those of us who warned that this was a lie at the time were accused of being Hamas propagandists. [source: @/ jeremyscahill on X. 12/22/23.] A Washington Post investigation has found no proof of a Hamas command center under al-Shifa Hospital following Israel’s attack on the medical complex [@/ RollingStone on X.]

from Plestia's instagram story, it's extremely sad to see her saying that and extremely real : nothing is left in Gaza and Palestine, all because of Isreal's non stop violence that not only touched civilians but also the whole country and destroyed all of it's monuments, places, homes, markets, streets, parks.... to the point that Plestia cannot even recommend beautiful places to visit because all of them ended up being destroyed by Isreal, not only them, the US, France, the UK....

This is one of the reasons why stopping the genocide in Palestine is so important. It is the empire's testing ground for human rights violations.

And if America can get away with supporting one genocide with zero repercussions, well then what is stopping them from starting another?

I need someone to explain the Banana Discourse on Twitter in small words. I might be wrong, but far it looks like an argument between

Western communists deciding the economic reorganization of South America towards "self-sufficiency" by taking away the USAmerican demand for bananas, and

White liberals insisting that South America is better off with the US buying bananas from them because collapsing the industry (somehow) would take away jobs.

Because boycotts totally work, nobody else eats bananas, those are the only two options, and South American people don't have any opinions about their own economy. Pick your imperialist.

Edit: Just found out the discourse is because "we must give up bananas for the good of South American socialism" lady brought up her cocaine habit as evidence that she wasn't moralizing pleasure. On being told that the cocaine trade fuels violent crime by drug cartels across South America, she tweeted:

The nightmares of bananas and cocaine production have nothing on the take industry by the hell nexus between white women and Tankies.

#i've deleted all the posts I've reblogged by that Marxist guy #also like...you realize you can talk about multinational corporations human rights violations #and the need for tighter regulations‚ anti-trust laws #and ecological conservation help #without making it all about whether US consumerism is good or bad right?? right???#anti communist #western leftists #tankies #imperialism #colonialism #american exceptionalism #ethnocentrism #twitter discourse #knee of huss

Canadian filmmaker renounces her Israeli citizenship in response to Israel's ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestine. "Peace is not Israel's goal. I don't know if it ever was". The vast majority of Israeli citizens* are dual citizenship holders, ie they were from another country, were born in another country and in the "ten pound pom" fashion, went to populate the illegal Israeli expansion settlements in Palestine, in support of the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

This is how they created and expanded the created nation state of Israel, since its genesis in 1947. It's a system that is still in practice today, whereby Zionists (all Jewish people are eligible, but it's the Zionists who do) can obtain an Israeli citizenship from anywhere in the world, (they do not have to move to live there to obtain one) and travel there short or long term, which many do at at least some point in their lives. All eligible for Israeli citizenship worldwide, under the "right of return", including Israeli Jews, amounts to 25.5 million - Note , displaced Palestinians do not have the "right of return" to their own land, ie the indigenous population of Palestine is not allowed the right of return to their own land, Israel have never allowed this or agreed to this in the various Peace talks, but Israel grants a 'right of return' to people that have no connection to the land, place, who have never set foot there nor have their families or ancestors. And centrally, to people who are from and already live in other, extremely safe countries. In both present day and the entire time the nation state of Israel has existed. (*dual Israeli citizenship holders globally, who currently reside there or not, both in present day and the entire time Israel has existed and occupied Palestine. How do you think Israel was populated? They are not the original population of Palestine. It's a Colonial Settlement and Occupation. A created nation state is not the same thing as a country with an indigenous population, aka Palestine. Pre Israel creation, Colonisation and occupation, Muslims, Christians and Jewish people all lived in Palestine, as it is sacred to many religions. The small Jewish population that existed originally in Palestine were not the population that created, settled or expanded into Israel. That was mainly European Jewish immigrants with the help of the British, and later the UN. Israel is not a peaceful immigration state, it is a brutally violent colonial settlement and occupation that has pushed innocent Palestinians out of their land, and continues to do so. They have never wanted to share. They have stolen Palestine from its indigenous population, and illegally continue to expand. And displaced its indigenous, originary Palestinian population. With constant genocidal intent and action. Peace has never been their goal.

The Islamic Republic Executed 3 more Protesters This Morning

The regime has executed more than a hundred of kurd, baloch and Arab activists in the last few months, all of them under false or ambiguous charges. Habib Asivad, an Arab rights activists who was kidnapped from turkey and brought to Iran by the regime, was one of the recent ones.

This morning the regime executed 3 more protesters who has been arrested during the nation wide Jîna revolution. They were tortured and forced to confess to a murder they didn't commit. In fact, there's a document that shows the murder was the regime guards doing. typical.

The three political prisoners wrote from jail on Wednesday urging the people to stop their execution.

Describing themselves as "children of Iran" in the letter, the three prisoners said: "Hello. We ask our dear fellow citizens not to let them kill us. We need your help. We need your support.

On Sunday night, demonstrators had gathered outside the prison hoping to stop the feared hangings. Campaigners say the prisoners were tortured into confessions, and there is no reliable evidence against them. -Iran International News

As it was mentioned, people tried to stop the execution by protesting and gathering in front of the prison and it was postponed but at the end the regime executed them anyway.

Meanwhile Iran has been chosen to chair the UN Human Rights Council 2023 Social Forum. This is not a joke anymore, it's the tragedy of western human rights. Apparently murdering your people for protesting grants you a human rights council chair in west.

Children as young as 6, working 12 hour days digging by hand, receiving $1 a day…think about it before you purchase your next laptop/electric vehicle

Free Congo🇨🇩 & end consumerism and wasteful consumption.

Apple Hub (not affiliated with Apple Official, but their account is influencial/popular among Apple users-adding this for context [01/07/24.]. They posted this a few days ago -it's about 2 different phone models (for fucking display changes).

Apple has been hyper-exploiting people in the Global South to mine for resources to make their products for YEARS, and I need more people to stop buying (unless necessity requires it -I waited 7-8 years before I had to change my phone, and next time I do it'll be a refurbished one) -until these entire systems are dismantled and made to be be ethical in every aspect of their businesses and not just on paper, boycott them.

I also know that Apple will change one spec and advertise like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, so to speak -and this cult-following just eats this up time and again. If you're not already informed about this inherently violent and corrupt industry -then get to know. And stop supporting these companies.

[ID: a quote tweet by Stephen Semler (@stephensemler) dated March 23, 2024. It is responding to a tweet by the Associated Press (@AP) that says, “BREAKING: Senate passes $1.2 trillion funding package in early morning vote, ending threat of partial shutdown.”

It says, “All but two Democratic senators just voted to:

-give Israel $3.8B in weapons, violating US law

-defund a UN inquiry into Israel's violations of international law

-defund UNRWA, worsening famine in Gaza

-sanction the UN Human Rights Council if it highlights Israeli abuses.”

tras trying to claim something is a human rights violation against trans people when it also affects every other citizen is so funny like...yeah we know you're human too but how is that specifically about trans people come on now 😭

#'we lack the right to abortions' no only females can experience that not just trans people #'we lack the right to marry' not even true #'we lack the right of bodily automony' children being denied medical transition bc its not proven to help them and lacks scientific backing #is not a human rights violation #'we lack the right to compete in sports' no you don't its just sex based #'we lack the right to education' again no you don't lmao and schools refusing to teach queer theory to children also isn't a human rights #violation #homophobic? more accurate considering the circumstances #again again again nothing is a human rights violation trans people have rights yall just wanna complain 😭#the closest one that possibly could be considered is the ban on expression/clothing in some states that are in govt seshs rn #closest one that i could see harming many people and being a clear constitutional violation especially #that's it tho...and considering so many US trans people wanna claim theres a genocide going on...yeah sure
