16 September 2026 at 05:00
As American rapper Macklemore becomes a frontline for renewed mainstream discourse about Israeli atrocities in Gaza, Israel apologists have been falling all over themselves to circulate the demonstrably false narrative that the artist has a history of antisemitic behavior.

14 September 2026 at 05:00
Check out our latest video, Awakening To The Truth On Every Level: Here’s the text, for my subscribers who prefer to read: Different people mean different things when they talk about having an awakening.

Three Major Revelations About the Gaza Holocaust In the Israeli Press, by Caitlin Johnstone

9 September 2026 at 05:00
The Israeli press has published three significant revelations about the Gaza holocaust, reporting (1) that Benjamin Netanyahu concealed advanced knowledge of the Hamas attack on October 7, (2) that Israel rejected a Hamas offer to release all civilian hostages immediately after October 7, and (3) that according to an IDF drone operator, the Israeli military...

Oh My God Shut the Fuck Up About "Antisemitism", by Caitlin Johnstone

8 September 2026 at 05:00
“Antisemitism” watchdog groups are flipping the fuck out about hip hop artist Macklemore saying “Free Palestine” while opening for Ed Sheeran, and the western press are of course helping to spin this ridiculous nonsense as a massive scandal. During a New Jersey concert over the weekend, Macklemore said the following: “One of the reasons why...

31 July 2026 at 05:00
Today in dystopia, billionaire corporations and plutocrats can hire trained CIA operatives to psychologically terrorize ordinary citizens who criticize them. E-commerce giant eBay has just agreed to pay $56 million to settle a lawsuit for damages caused by the company’s shockingly aggressive gangstalking operation against a Massachusetts couple who criticized the company’s wealthy executives on...

Let's Stay Human, by Caitlin Johnstone

31 July 2026 at 05:00
There’s a creepy tweet going around by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recommending that parents feed their kids’ interests and schedules into ChatGPT so it can generate a daily custom-made bot podcast to listen to on their morning drive to school. Gravity Falls creator Alex Hirsch posted the viral reply, “What if you just talked to...

De-Normalize Israel, by Caitlin Johnstone

24 July 2026 at 05:00
Basically we’ve got two choices: we either aggressively denormalize Israel or we watch our society become more and more Israeli. We either collectively reject Israel, or we watch western militaries fuse inseparably with the IDF. We either turn support for Israel into political campaign poison, or we watch politicians obliterate our right to criticize Israel...

They're Launching A New COINTELPRO for the 21st Century, by Caitlin Johnstone

17 July 2026 at 05:00
The Trump administration has announced a renewed crusade against “far-left terrorism,” which sounds okay if you don’t know that the word “terrorism” only ever means “behavior which goes against the agendas of the western empire.” The United States has for example placed sanctions on UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese for calling attention to Israeli atrocities...

Liberals Have Relaxed About Trump Because They Trust Him to Keep the Wars Going, by Caitlin Johnstone

15 July 2026 at 05:00
Have you noticed how the liberal establishment hasn’t been nearly as emotional and outraged about Trump’s second term as they were about his first? Now that he’s the president who bombed Iran, the entire western political/media class is cool with him. The term “Trump Derangement Syndrome” has always been used by the MAGA crowd as...

Trump Supporters Are Pathetic Cucks, and Other Notes, by Caitlin Johnstone

14 July 2026 at 05:00
The middle east continues to burn under the administration of the self-proclaimed “President of Peace”. Donald Trump says he’s “reinstating” the US blockade on Iranian ports after reportedly green lighting Saudi Arabia to reignite its war on Yemen. Trump and his handlers built a whole political platform out of “no more endless wars” and then...

Blaming Ordinary People for the Ecocidal Consequences of AI, and Other Notes, by Caitlin Johnstone

23 June 2026 at 05:00
I just saw an article in The Conversation titled “Your AI habit is wasting precious resources. Here’s how to use it responsibly,” and it pisses me off because you can already see where this is going. Neoliberalism is already doing that thing where they shift all the blame for the environmental consequences of ecocidal capitalism...

The Polite Kind of Racism, by Caitlin Johnstone

23 June 2026 at 05:00
There are two types of racism in the west: the kind that’s considered acceptable in polite liberal society, and the kind that’s widely frowned upon. The acceptable type of racism is the kind which considers it fine and normal to drop bombs on Muslim families overseas. The kind which sees starvation sanctions as a minor...

True Spirituality Confronts the Abuses of the Empire, by Caitlin Johnstone

21 June 2026 at 05:00
A spirituality that is uninterested in ending war, genocide, poverty and injustice is a dead spirituality. If you hold your time on the meditation cushion as something separate from the weeping mother clutching a small body in Lebanon, you’re wasting your time. Sometimes I get asked why I only occasionally write about “spiritual” matters like...
