U.S. Intelligence: Weapons of Mass Destabilization and Deception - Link Roundup

The history of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is a long and bloody one. The CIA was formed in 1947 and continues to define U.S. foreign policy with the Pentagon as its subordinate and as the primary military wing. Colour revolutions, anti-Communism, drug cartels, destabilization, bloody coups, proxy forces, and regime-change -- this is the legacy of the CIA, in short. And just recently, the intelligence agency had just appointed an all-female leadership, which had several liberal media personalities such as the unabashed anti-Russia mouthpiece Rachel Maddow reacting very excitedly, declaring it a "feminist victory" -- which is expected since it is, after all, a victory for identity politics. Of course, this "social justice warrior" (sjw) -pandering is nothing new; in fact, the agency encourages a climate of Postmodernism and identity politics.

To help justify U.S. wars of imperial aggression, the CIA needed to make them palatable to consumers of mass media and to self-described "progressives" in the West so that there is little to no opposition. What better way to do that than to invest billions of dollars not only into proxy forces, but into various programs and aggressive propaganda campaigns in the mainstream media as well -- especially when U.S.-backed terrorist forces, paramilitaries, or right-wing opposition groups in targeted nations are portrayed as "freedom fighters" and "revolutionaries" and given the 'Red-Carpet treatment'? Also effective in controlling opposition to American Empire was its funding and deployment of student groups, academics, writers, and artists who were anti-Soviet. And with Western "progressives" completely immersed in identity politics (as well as hedonism and substance abuse) and cheering on U.S. aggressions against countries like Libya, Syria, and the Ukraine in recent memory -- acting as useful idiots for American Empire, in other words -- who needs the police, FBI or COINTELPRO these days? The CIA had already set out to neuter the Western left many years ago so that by the 1970's their strength started to die down; so much so that the police don't really need to lift a finger as much today since the 'left' is already doing the job of cannibalizing itself.

Delta-COVID Fourth Wave Survival Guide (for Canadians)

Image
  Generally speaking, things are not going so well; and so we might as well prepare for survival. Here is a list of things that you could do. Suggestions are welcome, and more may be added later. 1. Get both doses of the vaccine AND continue wearing the masks regardless  of vaccination status.   The pandemic isn't over yet and the virus is still circulating, and it's not over until we've actually stopped it from circulating at such an astronomical rate. And like it or not, fully vaccinated people are still, figuratively speaking, inside "the eye of the storm" as much as the unvaccinated are; 'pandemic' means prevalent over a whole country and/or the world. COVID-19 has not even reached endemic levels. I don't think I need to explain why vaccines are great preventative measures, that should already be a given. Yes, of course the vaccines are still extremely helpful, very useful, and lifesaving; but it doesn't necessarily mean they will 100% stop yo

U.S. Imperialism is the reason for the Taliban's recent successes in Afghanistan

  The original, cringe-worthy dedication title card of Rambo III , before being edited out in subsequent post-9/11 DVD copies and television airings. The Taliban were one of the groups that sprang from the U.S.-created and U.S.-backed Mujahideen, who were made with the ultimate goal in mind of destroying the Soviet Union. The United States saw an opportunity for its anti-communist goals in the exiled, ousted, reactionary, neo-feudalist landowning class who were willing to betray their country, to undo all the revolutionary gains and progress (which included women's emancipation) made by the popular socialist People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan, and to bring the country back to what is essentially the stone ages. While the United States does not necessarily preach Wahhabist or Salafist ideology itself, they were very useful tools, due to their highly sectarian nature, in countering the progressive anti-imperialist forces -- whom they saw as foils and bitter 'archenemies

The Paradox of ‘Anti-War’ Capitalism: Peace Movements, Disarmament, and the War in Ukraine (excerpt)

Image
  Throughout the duration of the Russia-Ukraine War, the poverty of real Marxist analysis is very apparent in some  very confused sections of the left [1] (as well as those who are purportedly left, but are clearly aligned with right-wing forces) who have committed themselves to either being apologists for Russia’s aggression and to championing multipolar capitalism, or cheerleading for the NATO-led alliance with the desire to draw out the conflict for as long as possible. They refuse to see the war as an inter-imperialist conflict, with U.S. imperialism competing with Russian imperialism over who gets to keep Ukraine as a colony, and who gets to have a puppet government that will be friendly to their respective bourgeois interests. But perhaps one of the most curious aspects of these Western “anti-war” movements is how quick they are to  call for the United States, Canada, the UK, and other U.S.-aligned countries to disarm [2]; as well as being quick to claim that these particular cou
