anyone who was a pedophile associate should be named as such in any journalistic or media instance where they are mentioned. Steve Bannon (Epstein associate), for example. Laurene Powell Jobs (owner of the Atlantic and Ghislaine Maxwell associate). time to delegitimize everything these sickos say

my first impression was that chomsky wasn't directly collaborating with the institutions of capital and that he was unknowingly embraced by the deep state because his anti-communism was convenient in the intellectual world war. but then I saw this and realized no, this man is a psychological warior

they released less than half of the epstein files redacting almost everything except the names of underage victims and the only people they're prosecuting are the legal observers and journalists covering the crimes of their street thugs

repressive and autocratic tendencies in revolutionary states are not natural—they are the direct result of being encircled, threatened, and attacked by the United States. from the bolsheviks in the soviet union to the islamic republic of Iran, the repression would end if imperialism ended
