    After denying massacring civilians seeking aid, Israel routinely massacres civilians seeking aid

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on June 11, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    Israel’s own actions since June 1 have proved that Israeli forces do indeed deliberately fire upon starving civilians seeking humanitarian aid. Israel lied. Again.

    Gaza’s hospitals ARE the target

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on May 30, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    We’ve seen multiple reports from doctors documenting Israeli forces actually entering hospitals they’ve attacked and destroying all the individual pieces of medical equipment in those facilities, one by one.

    Israeli officials explain balancing act between overt genocide and maintaining western support

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on May 20, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    They have opted for their slow-motion strangulation approach because that’s what’s necessary to maintain essential western support and avoid war crimes tribunals.

    Israel’s backers keep whining that they’re losing control of the narrative

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on May 1, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    Zionists are losing control of the narrative, and they know it. And they are not taking it well.

    Israel’s innocent oopsie-poopsie medical massacre mistake

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on April 8, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    Sure, who among us has not accidentally massacred 15 medical workers and buried them and their vehicles in a shallow grave from time to time? We’re only human, mistakes happen.

    Trump’s State Department would support literally any Israeli atrocity

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on April 1, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    Netanyahu could live stream himself kicking a baby Palestinian off a cliff and telling the camera he did it because he wants to commit genocide, and the next day Tammy Bruce would respond to all questions about the incident by yelling the word “Hamas!” with her fingers in her ears.

    Thoughts on the Trump team’s Signal chat about bombing Yemen

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on March 26, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    The real currency of our world is not gold, nor bureaucratic fiat, nor even war machinery. The real currency of our world is narrative and the ability to control it.

    This is Trump’s genocide now

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on March 19, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    Trump signed off on the reignition of the Gaza holocaust. He spent weeks sabotaging the ceasefire and then gave the thumbs up to the resumption of the genocide.

    We are duped into blaming our problems on everyone except our rulers

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on March 11, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    What poses a threat to you is the political status quo which robs your country of riches and resources to inflict military violence on innocent people overseas while strangling your civil rights and poisoning your planet.

    If you want to fight the machine, don’t move to the right

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on March 9, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    People in politics and media who oppose the status quo often drift rightward, especially in the U.S. Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr are some clear recent examples, but you see it happen all the time.

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on February 21, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    A new narrative is being aggressively pushed by Israel and its apologists to justify resuming the Gaza genocide, conveniently just as an important deadline for ceasefire negotiations draws near.

    Peter Thiel reveals how scared Oligarchs are of the people

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on December 16, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    Billionaire Peter Thiel had a fascinating televised moment the other day when asked by Piers Morgan what he thought about the public making a hero of the man suspected of murdering health insurance CEO Brian Thompson.

  •  | China | MR Online

    Only pathetic bootlickers spend their energy criticizing China

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on January 29, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    The buzz around Xiaohongshu and then DeepSeek has had an unusually high volume of westerners speaking positively about China for the last couple of weeks, which of course means we’re also seeing many westerners falling all over themselves to say “Well actually China is actually quite bad actually” in response.

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on January 21, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    The hood stays popped open the entire time, showing the whole world how the imperial sausage gets made.

    Where does the aggression really begin?

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on December 19, 2024 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    The incoming Trump Administration is already filling up with war sluts

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on November 12, 2024 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    This should dash the hopes of Trump supporters everywhere that this time their guy really will end the wars and drain the swamp.

    The evil warmongering Zionist won (no not that one, the other one)

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on November 7, 2024 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  | (Posted Nov 07, 2024)

    Turns out campaigning on the promise of continuing a genocide while courting endorsements from war criminals like Dick Cheney is not a great way to get progressives to vote for you.
