@caityjohnstone mentions the 2020 smearing/vilification/cancellation of Roger Waters for speaking about this #corruption. Four years earlier he provided narration to a startling and undeniably accurate #documentary #film about #Hasbara - the corruption and the manufacture of consent for it - called 'The Occupation of the American Mind' which started the ball rolling toward his erasure. It's recently become quite challenging to find; even any discussion of the film's existence. Although it could be rightfully considered propaganda itself simply because it has a point of view, a "bias", it does bring together a preponderance of facts about these things. It makes for compelling viewing even if you feel Waters is an asshole. He's rational and worthy of some respect, if only for sticking his neck out. And his participation in this film's production is limited. He just provides narration for parts of it; it's mostly well-edited, well contextualized, academic and journalistic archive & actuality.

"Some people will look at these clips and claim it’s antisemitic to even share them. Others will look at them and cite them as evidence that the world is ruled by Jews. For me they’re just evidence that the world is ruled by wealthy sociopaths, and that western democracy is an illusion... I mean, you really couldn’t ask for a better illustration of the sham of American democracy than this. Two billionaires from supposedly opposite political parties publicly admitting that they use their obscene wealth to manipulate US politics to advance the military and geopolitical agendas of a foreign state on the other side of the planet..."
To be opposed to the spuriously-faithbased whitenationalist ideology that excuses and promotes genocide like the 2025-6 US-Israeli #holocaust in Gaza and broader Western Asia - whether or not you label it as antizionism - is to be in favor of democracy over authoritarianism.
#Antizionism isn't #antisemitism, period. #deconflate It is however antifascism. Which is why hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions, have been spent (on something the Likud and other Israelis call Hasbara) to vilify those of us who find the now-ubiquitous, 21st Century #fascism intolerable. The US bargain with the people running the colonialist, occupying, apartheid, terror state of Israel was always a devil's bargain, in the end helping to promote and reinforce the US version of white-nationalism and its enforcers who are now at war against the US public in places like Minnesota. And Maine. And North Carolina. And Oregon. And Illinois.
Thank god it can't happen here #tgichh #plutocracy #corruption #racism #whiteNationalism
That's my take; here's @caityjohnstone's

Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.
We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

#NativeAmericaCalling: A new wave of resistance against #Trans #Native relatives
Wednesday, March 5, 2025
"Trans #NativeAmericans face a new wave of #resistance
"Iowa is testing new legal limits as the first state to remove gender identity as a protected class in the state’s civil rights code.
"The Trump administration is also removing transgender service personnel from the military. And the State Department is using existing law against #fraud to bar foreign #TransgenderAthletes from entering the country, something critics worry could be used to ban any trans traveler.
"After years of progress, Native American trans residents are facing a major rollback of favorable laws and policies. Tune in to hear about the current public climate and what might be in store for the future."
