Epstein Helped Build MAGA. Has He Blown It?

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

No one has done more to shape the current global political landscape than early MAGA mastermind and former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon. He’s spent the bulk of his career trying to harness the chaos of the internet and the fury of chronically online men to move the levers of real world political power.

Def Leppard: Gods of War and CIA-front Solidarność

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)
6:03

Hysteria (Def Leppard album)

“Gods of War” samples speeches from Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher during the coda. The song also features “Solidarność” chants during the intro and coda.

What kind of “protest song” samples chants from a CIA front organization? I recorded a clip of the song at around 6:03, where I heard chanting (I’m hearing impaired so I can barely hear them). I haven’t found any other source crediting this sample besides Wikipedia, and neither of the cited references mentions Solidarity.

Mad Max Russians: Their New Tactic / Stanislav Krapivnik & Lt Col Daniel Davis

I couldn’t capture any clips this morning, but towards the end, Stanislav mentions that the Ukrainians are selling certain weapons and equipment to the Russians, which the Russians are then reverse engineering. He also mentions that it’s troops from the West running the HIMARS and Patriot systems.

The Pentagon’s IPO for War: Now With 100% More Cowbell

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

The Pentagon’s acquisition system is being overhauled into a “Warfighting Acquisition System,” turbocharging weapons production, slashing bureaucracy, and empowering officials to deliver arms at “wartime speed.” Portfolio Acquisition Executives now wield sweeping authority, startups are courted like prom queens, and the defense industrial base is being rebranded as Silicon Valley with missiles.

So much for the “peace president”—Trump’s arsenal of freedom looks more like an IPO for war, where venture capital meets missile launchers and bureaucrats cosplay as battlefield commanders.

The “Sexual Revolution:” An Unwitting Instrument of Capitalist Counterrevolution’s Devastating Public Health Legacy

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

The so-called “sexual revolution” that began in the 1960s and 1970s, hailed by bourgeois liberals and postmodern academics as a triumph of individual liberation and progressive reform, also became bound up with deeply reactionary phenomenon. From advancing the cause of human emancipation, it became a critical component of the broader social counterrevolution orchestrated by the ruling classes to undermine the potential of the working class. This pseudo-liberation, rooted to a notable extent in the decay of capitalist society, has contributed directly to profound negative impacts on public health, including the explosive proliferation of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), mental health crises, and the commodification of human relationships under the guise of “freedom.”
