In the 1980s CIA whistleblower John Stockwell said the CIA helped overthrow 20+ constitutional democracies, fomented ethnic conflicts, created death squads, and assassinated multiple Presidents including JFK in 1963.

But don’t worry, surely that’s not happening today! Trust the ‘intelligence community’ and what they say on Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Nicaragua, and others!

On this day in 1990, South Africa’s anti-apartheid freedom fighter Nelson Mandela was freed from prison after 27 years. He had been jailed for leading a violent guerrilla campaign against the apartheid government.

Here is Mandela humbling a US journalist who criticised his support for Cuba🇨🇺, which had given the anti-apartheid struggle political and military support.

How Cuba was instrumental in breaking South Africa’s apartheid regime:

Cuba sent over 425,000 volunteers (soldiers, medics, teachers) to Africa between 1975–1991, the largest overseas solidarity mission by any Global South nation.

In Angola alone, “Operación Carlota” deployed 36,000 Cuban troops in 1975 to stop the South African invasion backed by the CIA.

At the height of the fighting, Cuba maintained 50,000+ troops in Angola, more than the US had in any Cold War African theatre.

Cuban pilots flew thousands of combat sorties, decisively halting South African air superiority.

The Battle of Cuito Cuanavale (1987–88), commanded largely by Cuban officers, became the largest battle in Africa since WWII. Nelson Mandela would call the battle “the turning point for the liberation of our continent and my own freedom.” The South African Defence Force suffered hundreds of casualties, and its elite 61st Mechanised Battalion was forced into retreat for the first time.

Cuban-Angolan victory at Cuito Cuanavale broke the myth of SADF invincibility, directly triggering apartheid’s strategic collapse. The defeat forced South Africa to agree to Namibian independence (1989), removing Pretoria’s buffer zone and crippling its regional dominance.

Cuba trained tens of thousands of African doctors, engineers, and officers, a long-term investment in post-apartheid state capacity. Cuba provided this aid for free, without loans, bases, or resource concessions.

Fidel Castro’s Cuba did all this despite being constrained by the US economic embargo, and constant threats from Washington.

They hate the example of Cuba, because revolutionary Cuba showed that the defiant people of a small island nation were capable of helping vanquish the criminality and barbarism that Washington supported around the world.

Massive crowds in every big city: Iranians took to the streets to celebrate the 47th Anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution in 1979, when the Western-backed Shah was finally deposed in a popular uprising.

Now the shadow of a US regime change war hangs over not only Iran, but the entire region.

Despite a relentless campaign of economic sabotage by Washington designed to impoverish Iranians and overthrow the Iranian government, the Islamic Republic still survives and clearly, still enjoys support from much of Iran’s 93 million people.

A regime change war on Iran would be nothing short of an unprecedented disaster, with violence and bloodshed that would dwarf the illegal Iraq War of 2003.

🚨Pam Bondi says we should be talking about booming US stock market statistics instead of Jeffrey Epstein’s child-trafficking pedophilia network…at the Epstein Files hearings.

Apparently, the shocking revelations about Epstein, running a sex-trafficking network for Western elites, with overwhelming evidence linking him to Israel’s Mossad…is not important because ‘stocks are doing well’.

With each passing day, Americans realise that their elites are not only morally depraved, but view themselves as untouchable, no matter how barbaric and sick the crimes they commit are.

🚨ICYMI, Former Israeli Intelligence Officer Ari Ben-Menashe: Israel WOULD use nuclear weapons against Iran

‘If the Israelis use nuclear weapons against the Iranians, it would be the end of Israel the way we know it today.

They wouldn’t think about the future. They would just use it, because we’re dealing with a desperate group of people called the Israeli cabinet and government that want to stay in power and alive.’

Jeffrey Epstein responding to the question ‘should everyone own a home?’

‘No, it’s too risky.’

The elites in the West aren’t only engaged in moral depravity beyond words, they’re also waging class war on you and trying to worsen your living standards.

No house for you, because the elite class will own all the homes and you’ll be paying rent to fund their lifestyles for the rest of your lives, while you own nothing.

They wage class war against you, and convince you to engage in a distraction culture war.

The moment the elites knew they needed a culture war to distract from the class war they were waging:

At the height of the Occupy Wall Street movement after the 2008 financial crisis, when Americans were gaining an unprecedented level of class consciousness, the elites of Wall St. mocked the protesters by drinking champagne while sneering at the crowds of protesters.

However, they didn’t have hubris, they knew that millions of Americans had realised that the system was rigged against them; while Wall Street got Obama’s bailouts for wrecking the economy, which only enriched them even more…

Millions of Americans lost their homes, their savings, and their dreams, with no bailouts from the government to help them with the disaster they faced.

Millions of Americans realised the state was nothing but a managing organisation for the elite class, and the system was rigged against them.

The answer to the working class realising that a class war was being waged against them? Give them a distraction culture war instead, to pit people from the same class against each other with vitriolic hatred while the elites hoarded even more wealth under their noses.

The wealthiest 1% of households now control 31.7% of the nation’s wealth, the bottom 50% of Americans own just 2.5% of the nation’s wealth.

The average conservative in a rust belt small town has more in common economically with a working class liberal in New York…

But the billionaire-owned media pits them against each other with culture war issues and has them hating each other, while the elites continue to drink their champagne and laugh, as their share of wealth grows exponentially.

Another example of genius European policy:

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius says "there is nothing left in the stockpiles that can be provided to Ukraine.”

Now guess where they’ll be spending their money? On fuelling their own military-industrial complex while their economy flatlines…

And enriching the US military-industrial complex!

All of those stockpiles depleted for a useless, lost proxy war that could have ended in Istanbul in 2022.

CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou on the CIA’s power over Hollywood:

‘The CIA has set up a branch within the Office of Public Affairs whose job is solely to cooperate with Hollywood studios, just like the FBI has been doing since the 1950s.

The CIA works with Hollywood studios to make sure that everything that comes out of Hollywood has a pro-CIA message.

You know, technically it’s illegal for the CIA to propagandise the American people, but that’s what happens every time a CIA-related film is released. It’s propaganda.

Indeed, the movie Zero Dark Thirty broke all kinds of laws. The director, Catherine Bigelow, and the writer Mark Boal were given classified briefings over a classified mock-up of the Osama bin Laden compound.

They were given classified briefings by CIA Counterterrorism Center analysts, and in exchange they gave those analysts watches and free tickets to the premiere of the film.

Well, they should all be in prison for that. Technically that’s a violation of the Espionage Act. Instead, the film was celebrated as a victory at the CIA.’

🚨CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou on the CIA’s history of drug trafficking

‘There’s a popular Netflix television series called Narcos. And Narcos is based on the true story of the hunt for Pablo Escobar, the hunt for the Cali cartel, the hunt for one of the Mexican cartels.

And over the course of three seasons, every time the Drug Enforcement Administration gets close to its primary target, the CIA station chief steps in and ruins the investigation. That is true.

That happens in real life because the CIA doesn’t care about drugs. It cares about terrorism. It cares about communism. For what that’s worth.

There’s always some other bigger ism that the CIA is concerned about. And so it was perfectly happy to allow cocaine to flood into the United States in the 1980s during the Iran-Contra affair, just as it was perfectly happy to allow Afghanistan to provide 93% of the world’s heroin once the United States began its occupation of Afghanistan.’

What many do not acknowledge is the behemoth spending on the US’ military-industrial complex still puts it at the forefront of shocking new technologies of Modern Warfare…

And that Washington still has the will to wield these technologies mercilessly to achieve their goals. For Russia🇷🇺, China🇨🇳 and other powers of the multipolar world to adequately defend themselves from the US threat, they must always expect the unexpected and unspeakable barbarism from Washington.

🚨Afshin Rattansi CHALLENGES Former State Department Senior Advisor for Iran: Should Iran have nuclear weapons?

Alan Eyre: ‘I think that Iran seeking a nuclear weapon as a means of deterrence would not be a good idea.’

Afshin Rattansi: ‘Really? That’s what you’d say if you were advising Iran? Because Israel has nuclear weapons…

What was it like being a US negotiator for the JCPOA, knowing full well that Israel had nuclear weapons and it would only enforce some kind of détente for Iran to have them to prevent a war in this region?’

Alan Eyre: ‘Israel does have nuclear weapons. And how’s that working for it? Did that stop the Hamas attack? Did that stop all the other wars that it’s engaged in?

So there’s an argument to be made that actually having a nuclear weapon doesn’t do much, or at least all that it’s supposed to do in terms of deterring aggression against the country that has it.

So again, were I advising Iran, I would advise Iran to accept limitations on its nuclear programme and to accept IAEA inspections. Because if you look at the amount of economic damage Iran has suffered as a result of its nuclear programme, Iran’s nuclear programme gives them 1% of all the power they use in the country.’

Afshin: Look at Cuba and Venezuela. They don’t have nuclear weapons. It just depends on who the United States doesn’t like. It doesn’t matter. The nuclear programme is just an excuse.’
