    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.

  •  | Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr | MR Online

    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.

    The empire at its most honest

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on February 26, 2025 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  | (Posted Mar 03, 2025)

    President Donald Trump has shared a shockingly awful AI-generated music video envisioning a future Gaza.

    Israel pushes new atrocity narrative just as ceasefire deadline approaches

    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.

    Donald Trump is the empire unmasked

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

    Where does the aggression really begin?

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

    The empire’s favorite trick is to begin the historical record at the moment its enemies retaliate against its abuses.

    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.

    The mainstream western worldview pretends the Global South does not exist

    Lying Western press scramble to frame Israel’s attack on Iran as self-defense

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on October 25, 2024 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  | (Posted Oct 31, 2024)

    Israel has launched a round of airstrikes on Iran which the western news media are falling all over themselves to falsely frame as “retaliatory” strikes against an unprovoked missile attack by Iran. 

  •  | CNN | MR Online

    The Western media helped create these horrors in the Middle East

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on October 4, 2024 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    All the mass media personnel who’ve been lying and manipulating for Israel helped pave the way to this.

  •  | antisemitism | MR Online

    As Israel gets more murderous, we’ll be hearing even more about “Antisemitism”

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on September 26, 2024 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    The very first time you get accused of hating Jews for voicing legitimate criticisms of Israel’s actions, you immediately understand that the whole narrative about an epidemic of “antisemitism” in our society is a complete lie.

  •  | Palestinians | MR Online

    The West truly doesn’t see Palestinians as human

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on September 2, 2024 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    You never see the dehumanization of Palestinians in western society exhibited so clearly as when something bad happens to Israelis during the genocidal assault on Gaza.

  •  | USIsrael | MR Online

    Washington’s Israel policy is just feigning ignorance of Israeli depravity

    Originally published: Caitlin A Johnstone Blog on August 29, 2024 (more by Caitlin A Johnstone Blog)  |

    It’s so unfair how Israel’s neighbors keep attacking it completely unprovoked while Israel is just innocently minding its own business trying to commit a little genocide in peace.
