    Originally published: CaitlinJohnstone.com on April 12, 2022 (more by CaitlinJohnstone.com)  |

    Absurd Guardian article declares China world’s only imperialist power

    Originally published: CaitlinJohnstone.com on December 13, 2021 (more by CaitlinJohnstone.com)  |

    Another cartoonishly ridiculous anti-China propaganda piece has been published in the western mass media, this time by The Guardian, which at this point could arguably be labeled the single most destructive promulgator of empire propaganda in the western world.

    Impending planetary disaster should unite us, yet we remain more divided than ever

    Originally published: CaitlinJohnstone.com on November 25, 2021 (more by CaitlinJohnstone.com)  |

    Charles Bukowski has a quote: “We’re all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”

    Australian war propaganda keeps getting crazier

    Originally published: CaitlinJohnstone.com on November 16, 2021 (more by CaitlinJohnstone.com)  |

    60 Minutes Australia has churned out yet another fearmongering war propaganda piece on China, this one so ham-fisted in its call to beef up military spending that it goes so far as to run a brazen advertisement for an actual Australian weapons manufacturer disguised as news reporting.

    Bloomberg CIA Apologia accidentally vindicates China’s strict domestic policies

    Originally published: CaitlinJohnstone.com on November 11, 2021 (more by CaitlinJohnstone.com)  |

    Beijing’s anti-corruption crackdowns, widespread surveillance and strict control over Chinese society is making it harder for the CIA to undermine that nation, and now the CIA is expressing its frustration through the billionaire media.

    America’s soup-brained president says the U.S. never interferes in other countries’ elections

    Originally published: CaitlinJohnstone.com (more by CaitlinJohnstone.com)  |

    The U.S. is far and away the single most egregious offender in the world on this front, which is largely why it is perceived around the world as a greater threat to democracy than any other government.

    Originally published: CaitlinJohnstone.com on January 21, 2021 (more by CaitlinJohnstone.com)  |

    Joe Biden is now the president of the United States of America. His day one executive orders should have prioritized ending the single worst crisis in the world in Yemen, a war he campaigned on ending U.S. involvement in, but they did not.

    Liberal NPCs hate Russia, Conservative NPCs hate China

    Originally published: CaitlinJohnstone.com on March 19, 2020 (more by CaitlinJohnstone.com)  |

    The frenzied, shrieking hysteria I’m witnessing right now among Trump’s base regarding China looks and moves in the exact same way the mental zombification of Russia hysteria looked and moved when it began tearing through rank-and-file Democrats in late 2016 and early 2017. The seething, screaming vitriol I get from the MAGA crowd on social media when I talk about this is identical to what I got during that period from Democrats: just as irrational, just as vituperative, and just as emotion-driven.
