Majid Asgaripour/WANA via Reuters The United States has surrendered to Iran, agreeing to all of Iran’s ceasefire demands—a permanent end to the war, complete military withdrawal from the middle east region, lifting of sanctions, reparations, full nuclear rights—if this holds, it is an unprecedented, historic defeat of the global western aggressors: the U.S. Empire. Iran's 10 Point Ceasefire Demands Security Guarantees: A formal commitment from the U.S. and Israel that Iran will not be attacked again.  Permanent End to Hostilities: Transitioning from a temporary ceasefire to a permanent end to the war on all fronts, including Israeli strikes in Lebanon. Sanctions Relief: The lifting of all primary and secondary U.S. sanctions against Iran. Strait of Hormuz Protocol: Iran would reopen the vital shipping route but maintain control through "controlled transit" coordinated with its armed forces. Transit Fees: Iran would charge a $2 million fee per ship passing through the St...

  Religion and Nationalism are among the most destructive forces on Earth. They teach people [not] to think, fuel our tribal conflicts, and perpetuate false divisions where there needn't be. Life is wondrous and meaningful enough without either one. "My country is the world, and my religion is to do good,"—Thomas Paine, said over 200 years ago. “I am not Athenian, nor Greek, I am a citizen of the world."—Diogenes, said more than 2,000 years ago, the idea of global oneness.

In her rallying speech to catalyze rebellion, Maarva reflects on how life under Imperial rule had lulled everyone into passivity and complacency through routine and modest comforts afforded by the system of subsistence living under the Empire, blinding them to the broader evils they were enabling. By the time those dangers became so extreme and impossible to ignore, it was basically too late to act. Too long have we similarly acclimated to injustice and atrocity, allowing oppressors to thrive on our silence and neutrality. Imperialist aggression is more of a global threat than ever, intensifying around the world, taking the form of fascist right wing cult dictators, authoritarian imperialists, and religious extremist war criminals. They seek territorial expansion, geopolitical dominance,  and have no regard for international U.N. law. Financial power fuels this entire totalitarian ethos: through inner-circle dealings over money, resou...

A few days ago   millions of documents from the Epstein files were released by the U.S. Department of Justice. Initially the documents were published up on the DOJ's website, and then promptly taken down, only then to be re-released again a bit later that day, perhaps realizing the beans were already spilt, yet this time with heavy edits and redactions, with names of many of the perpetrators and enablers of these crimes blacked out, along with some graphic images. Still, the files do reveal plenty of names, like Donald Trump, who are directly implicated in these crimes—crimes of sex trafficking of minors, pedophilia, rape, torture, kidnapping, and even murder. The elites who participated in these crimes clearly have deeply psychopathic, nihilistic, dystopian views of the world. They don't believe in humanity. They don't believe in morality. They don't believe in society, laws, or civilization. Their vast elitist wealth has dehumanized them to the point of actually feel...
