US Capitol Police arrest over 70 Protestors Demanding Higher Salaries for the Poor

The Capitol Police have arrested protestors in Washington D.C. who were representing a movement named #UniteThePoor who were fighting for more rights and benifits for poor.

Here is a Tweet describing the situation.

The protesters also wanted help for people without healthcare, people who need child care, and immagrants. The protestors are tired of slow legislation and are trying to push the Build Back Better Act before new year as just the beginning of their goals.

The police stood off against the protest while the protesters were claiming that they were fighting for the children and that this was a peaceful protest and not like the January 6 protest where a bunch of Trump supporters raided the capitol.

The protest was peaceful, they did not intentionally hurt anybody, they were non-violent trying to create a better future for minorities. According to PressTV, a police spokesman claimed that the protestors were  allegedly crowding, obstructing or blocking the streets.

We will have to see what happens to the protestors, but this is a clear example of the police in the US shutting down protests they do not like and a form of censorship in a country which claims to support free speech.

Iran warns about the dangers of Gulf Countries normalising relations with Israel

Israel’s growing presence in the Gulf region is a threat to the region. Historically many of the gulf countries were the ones against Israel. But recently, Brahmin and the United Arab Emirates have normalised relations with the Zionist regime. This has multiple potential issues with it. One of them Is that Israel sides with the US on many issues and will increase United States presence in the region. The United States has a bad track record when it comes to respecting human rights in the region and generally does it to take advantage of the countries so it can secure oil shipments from the middle east. Another issue is that Israel is very Iranophobic, Israel is very against Iran, Israel can use their relations with the gulf countries to limit Iran’s access to the gulf region, which is very important for Iran and where a large amount of shipping happens. The previous maximum pressure strategy did not work, so the United States and Israel are working to push Iran into even bigger restrictions not considering the people who live in Iran. Another issue is that of Palestine, part of what was reducing the amount of trouble Israel was able to get away with the pressure from neighbouring countries. Now that Israel has normalised relations with them, they will be able to do more bad things to Palestine. This is a back stab against the Palestinian people in favour of complying with pressures from the United States. The Palestinians are in a dire situation and without pressure, Israel has little reason not to try to take more of their land. Israel is one of the biggest human rights abusers in the world, they kill and wrongly imprison people every day, by normalising relations with Israel, they are allowing that to happen more. While the strain of relations on Iran is part of a political struggle, strain of relations on Israel is about human rights. We also will need to worry about a domino effect. If some countries normalise relations it may create pressure on more countries to also normalise relations and to sandwich Palestine, Iran, and others that go against their wishes.

20-30 Million Trump supporters claim they would take arms up against Biden

There are still a large amount of people, likely 8-12% of the US who believe Biden was not legitimately elected and think violence is a good solution to the problem. They want to bring back the leader who was openly racist and talked about doing mass deportations and who put sanctions back in Iran destroying progress on the nuclear deal, worsening the economy of both countries, and increasing world tensions.

Some sources are claiming that Trump’s new rise will be through ”subversion” rather than violence and by bringing back Trump and other right wing people in power meaning that even if Trump were not directly in power in an election, he would have indirect power. Trump has already expressed interest to run again in 2024 and with his popularity in the republican party and the mistakes of Biden, it is not impossible that such a thing can happen. Cover Cleveland famously served 2 separate terms. Trump is a symbol of hate in the United States, and with a polarised enough public, his potential can be very powerful. Trump largely uses blame tactics to gain popularity, in 2016, he largely blamed immigrants, in 2020 he used civil rights groups (like Black Lives Matter and Anti-Fascist Action) and crime as the blame for problems, and now in 2024 he is going to take advantage of Biden’s poor handling of the situations to try to get back into office. Hate is a sad reality in the United States, and hate and a cult of personality like people have with Trump, and having a poor alternative can lead to people like Trump coming back to power and trick people into thinking he was a good leader, when he was indeed among the worst. This is similar to what got Hitler into power. The lack of good politicians in significant positions is frightening as who knows what bad things the leaders of the United States can do next instead of focusing on their own issues.

It is up to the people to educate themselves and to bring about change and end hate and bad leadership. Unless the people are educated, people like Trump and to a lesser extent Biden will continue to stay in power despite not being good leaders. If Biden was a good leader and people knew that they were, then Trump would not still have so much power, as we have seen Trump is a bad leader. We must also partially blame the education system in the United States, at a young age they are taught that the United States is good before they learn critical thinking or political theory or political science and they grow up being ignorant leading to situations like this, and half of them do not even vote, and when they do it is more often for horrible choices. Ignorance is one of the biggest enemies of freedom and equality. This is why we support neither Biden, nor Trump.

69% of people from the US disapprove of Biden’s handling of inflation as it grows faster than wage gain.

It is no secret that there is currently an inflation issue within the US. The prices keep rising on many goods which adds more strains to consumers who are already suffering the consequences of the pandemic. Biden is claiming that we are currently at the peak and that the new Build Back Better act, which is an act which is supposed to increase taxes on the wealthy and increase some forms of social service and climate protection, but according to Vox, the bill is likely not as strong as Biden wanted it to be and even what is in the bill may have a hard time of passing. The inflation has had noticeable effects on food and fuel, which are every day necessities. Biden is hoping to reduce the prices of fuel again, but we will need to see how that turns out. Some analysts are claiming that the low interest rates are what is causing the inflation and that the government are keeping them intentionally low. Inflation had been growing since the pandemic started, but started accelerating later from 4% in October 2020 to over 6%, which is generally higher than the average income increase level, which is often around 3%. Some things, like housing are expected to decrease though. .It is also known that minimum wage has been standing still for decades and is not a much as it had been many decades ago. Even outside of the giant inflation growth within the last few months, wages have not been keeping up to inflation in many cases. Other things such as Biden’s handing of guns and crime was also not well approved.

We think it is largely because of corporate greed that this is happening. It is in corporation’s best interests to try to make more money, many of them already have near monopolies in industries, so they can use this power to try to increase prices, knowing consumers have little other choice. The companies often have little incentive to pay their employees more and in fact want to keep them struggling so then they are more dependent on work. They complain that they need to raise prices and not pay workers much to stay in business, while at the same time their shareholders and executives earn millions in profits. This is an example of hypocrisy in the current system which effects every day people in favour of a rich minority. We should not let this happen, if we let this happen, we let them know that they can win and do this more in the future, but we as the world need to stand together to make sure that this does not happen, and that it will not happen again. It effects everyone, not just people in the United States, as if a country the size of the United States has a financial crisis, it can effect other countries as well by raising the cost on many materials. We cannot let the US corporations take advantage of the people like this, it is up to us to stop it, we have already seen that the government cannot be trusted to help these issues, especially the republicans, who often go out of their way to reject any bills which are meant to reduce inequality. If people refuse to support companies raising prices, then they have to reduce prices again, and the producers of the materials and resources required to make those products will also have to reduce their prices

What does the Chant “Down with America” mean?

The chant Down with America is often a softer translation of the Persian saying ( مرگ بر آمریکا) which more directly translates to Death to America, a saying that commonly is used to show discontent for the government of the United States. The term generally does not refer to the every day people of the United States or the Americas, but instead to the government and polices in the US which cause harm.

The term “Down with” in general is pretty popular in some protests and means that something is bad, and that you want it to fall and fail. The same thing can be said about the US Empire, which is already starting to crumble such as with the withdrawal of the US from Afghanistan and many other developments against the West. Had the US Government not involved itself into so many conflicts, they would not be so disliked. It would be great to put an end to all the horrible actions of the United States and instead try to solve their own issues. We have no problem with a prosperous United States so long as that prosperousness is achieved through ways, which does not violate the rights of others, including the people who live in the US, and so long as they also do not use their prosperousness to do the bad things.

What does Death to America (مرگ بر آمريكا) Mean?

The saying ‘Death to America’ is commonly though of in the west as a saying to show how many people in the east do not like people from the United States. But this is untrue.   Many people in the regions which say Death to America have no problem with every day people in the United States. In this case “America” just refers to the US. People in the United States are just like any other group of people, and are largely not responsible for why the chant Death to America is so common. The saying Death to America is for the most part, referring to the government, the oppressive law makers , the policies, the sanctions, the imperialism, and other stuff in that nature.  It can also be used to refer to the atrocities done by the US government. In fact, a more accurate term would be “Death to US Gov.” which can be seen on Khamenei.ir

As you can probably guess, most in the US are not going to be the ones who are creating these kinds of laws and doing sanctions and committing atrocities, the term refers to the people who do these things. The United States is not the only one to have these issues, Europe is also untrustworthy and works with the US on many of these situations and also do lots of bad things against the world. Even much of its own land is stolen for Native American groups, who today live in reservations in horrible conditions. Israel is another example, and Israel is backed by the US and Europe in many situations, Israel is used as a launch pad for Western Ambitions in the Middle East where the west can keep troops and use them as an ally. Israel itself is an example of European colonialism which was created by the British after the Ottomans backed out in World War I and did not consider the people who were living there at the time, and the British split Palestine into Jewish and Arab sections, not considering the population living there at the time who was mostly Arab, the Israelis forced many Palestinians to evacuate and stole a bunch of their land as has thus far not given them a right to return, and the Israelis continue to steal  Palestinian Arab lands and commit human right violations, imperialism, bombings, ethnic cleansing, inhumane conditions, arrests of Palestinians for no reason in prisons which many die in, violation of Palestinian religious events, occupation, killing of civilians and children, and much more.  The United Kingdom is also very hated for their horrible acts, such as siding with the US, Israel, the rest of Europe, and other bad players, as well as for its own acts of imperialism and human rights violations. The Soviet Union has also gotten some hate for its acts of imperialism. Chants like Death to Israel are very common, Death to England is also pretty common, Death to Soviet Union has also existed. Here is a speech from Khamenei (Persian with English Subtitles) clarifying the chant Death to America and clarifying some of the issues with the US and saying how they will not give up the chant unless the US stops.

While the term is for the people in charge of the United States, there are some people in the US, like those who sell weapons to the bad people, who are almost as bad as the leaders, and who we also need to put pressure on. And just because the term is for the government, we still encourage people within the US to try to know what the US government is doing, and be part of the solution, not the problem, and instead of supporting the US government, to try to fight against it until it stops its horrible actions.The truth is, many of these bad actions also hurt the people in the US. Extraordinary military spending cuts money from other things which are more important which can help the people and robs people of tax money which is used to do horrible things. Taxes should be used for helping the poor, not profiting rich people who make military equipment. The private companies who sell to other bad players such as Israel are also not good as they give the US a bad name and make people not want to do business with them limiting the potential. Sanctions on countries also are not good, like not being able to buy Venezuelan Oil, not being able to use Cuban vaccines, and other stuff like that. Even we had issues with sanctions when we tried to buy some domain names from Venezuela and Iran, but our credit cards could not work because finance companies are not able to offer their services in these countries, which significantly puts there countries at a disadvantage and limits the amount of money they have. None of the sanctions the US really have are just either.

What is this website?

This is a website which is Designed to expose the atrocities of the United States and its allies. Some of the people behind this site have lived in the United States and even used to support the United States, but now they are very against the United States due to all the bad things the United States does. Hopefully we can bring awareness to all the problems done by the US and help get rid of the United States and their allies.
