This is a fake, AI-generated video. But it has more than 5 million views, 35K+ shares, and 118K likes. The US empire's war propaganda is getting much more sophisticated. You can bet the US government will use AI to try to justify its many more imperialist wars of aggression.

Jaw-dropping corruption in the US: Trump's billionaire crypto czar is heavily invested in a fund whose top 5 holdings are the 5 in the US government Crypto Strategic Reserve. Mere hours before Trump announced it, someone bought $200 million in Ethereum & Bitcoin on 50X LEVERAGE https://t.co/LQWZceeTvB

Far-right extremist Javier Milei won Argentina's presidential election. Milei wants to: -legalize the sale of children and human organs -abolish public healthcare, education, and transportation -abandon monetary sovereignty and adopt the US dollar He says his dead dog Conan speaks to him from the afterlife and advises him on economic policy.

Argentina was invited to join BRICS, but far-right president-elect Javier Milei has pledged to withdraw. The extremist boasted: "Our geopolitical alignment is with the U.S. and Israel. We are not going to align with communists" https://www.perfil.com/noticias/politica/javier-milei-insistio-en-que-la-justicia-social-es-un-robo-desde-el-council-de-americas.phtml

Argentina's extreme-right president-elect Javier Milei pledged to cut ties with China and Brazil (Argentina's two biggest trading partners, with 35% of trade) Instead Milei wants Argentina to be totally subordinated to the USA, which he basically worships https://www.ambito.com/economia/milei-quiere-romper-china-y-brasil-como-impactaria-la-medida-el-comercio-exterior-y-las-provincias-n5871672

In his platform, Argentina's extremist "libertarian" fascist president-elect Javier Milei calls for a Pinochet-style regime: -"militarization of the institutions during the transition" -building for-profit "public-private" prisons -making it easier to imprison people -mandating forced labor for prisoners -reducing the age of being considered a minor -creating a nationwide surveillance network of cameras with facial recognition technology

Despite his absurd "libertarian" rhetoric, Argentina's extreme-right president-elect Javier Milei has constantly whitewashed the fascist (US-backed) military dictatorship that ruled his country, denying its mass murder, torture and disappearing of leftists https://www.europapress.es/internacional/noticia-milei-niega-hubiera-30000-desaparecidos-dictadura-argentina-20231002065734.html

In addition to promising to totally subordinate Argentina to the US and adopt the US dollar as its national currency, extreme-right president-elect Javier Milei loves Israel. Milei recently waved an Israeli flag at a rally. He sees Israel's far-right apartheid regime as a model

Responding to far-right president-elect Javier Milei's plan to adopt the US dollar as Argentina's currency to fight inflation, renowned development economist Ha-Joon Chang said this is “insane”, warning dollarization would make Argentina a US “colony” https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/05/25/argentina-us-dollar-inflation-neocolonialism/

Here is a video clip in which Argentina's extreme-right president-elect Javier Milei proposed creating "a free market of adoptions". That's his euphemistic way of calling to make it legal to sell human children on the "free market". https://t.co/Dq8PGORM6t
@BenjaminNorton - Ben Norton
Many Argentine news outlets reported on far-right president-elect Javier Milei proposing a "free market of babies". He wants to illegalize abortion, and says selling kids is a solution. Milei is a follower of extreme-right "anarcho-capitalist" Murray Rothbard, who proposed this https://t.co/WSQj7nW1T1
@BenjaminNorton - Ben Norton
The ideological hero of Argentina's far-right president-elect Javier Milei is US "anarcho-capitalist" Murray Rothbard. While proposing a "flourishing free market in children", Rothbard opposed civil rights, promoted racist "race science", and supported KKK leader David Duke. Rohbard wanted a "libertarian" police state, writing: "Cops must be unleashed, and allowed to administer instant punishment" on poor people, but not on rich white collar criminals and inside traders.

I made a detailed video warning about Javier Milei back in May: How a US debt trap in Argentina is fueling inflation, dollarization, far right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BRx90DhYWM

The UFO stories all over corporate media are being pushed heavily by the US military & spy agencies. Looking back at history, this looks like a psyop to hide new experimental technology and/or manufacture consent for increased military budgets & a new arms race with China/Russia
@BenjaminNorton - Ben Norton
After the end of the first cold war, the CIA admitted that the US military lied about its experimental spy planes and promoted fake stories to make people believe they were UFOs. In reality they were used to spy on the USSR and Socialist Bloc countries https://www.nytimes.com/1997/08/03/us/cia-admits-government-lied-about-ufo-sightings.html
@BenjaminNorton - Ben Norton
Look how the Pentagon is pushing the "UFO" story: a supposed "intelligence failure" Translated: We need to shovel trillions more tax dollars into the blackhole of the Military-Industrial Complex Wait until they claim UFOs could be Chinese/Russian tech and thus a "natsec threat"
@BenjaminNorton - Ben Norton
The Washington Post (a mouthpiece for US spy agencies & the Pentagon, owned by billionaire CIA contractor Jeff Bezos) is already planting the seed, warning the UFOs could be "supersecret spy technology from, say, China or Russia" Translated: the US military needs even more money
@BenjaminNorton - Ben Norton
Extreme neocon Marco Rubio has been heavily promoting the "UFOs" story. Not just this week on 60 Minutes, but for years And this mouth-foaming warmonger has of course fearmongered claiming they might be Chinese/Russian, and thus "a national security risk" https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3z5wx/marco-rubio-hopes-ufos-are-aliens-not-chinese-planes
@BenjaminNorton - Ben Norton
It's becoming so obvious that the US military and intelligence agencies are pushing the "UFO" stories to justify the new cold war and an arms race with China and Russia. This report from US spy agencies makes it pretty clear https://t.co/9ejXX8meKf
@BenjaminNorton - Ben Norton
The US government has a documented history of lying about experimental spy aircraft and encouraging "UFO" claims. The CIA did this in the first cold war to make people fear the USSR. Today, the targets are China and Russia. This explains why almost all "sightings" are in the US
