🇺🇸🇮🇩 US-Backed Mobs Back in the Streets of Indonesia as Predicted - China Being the Ultimate Target Just a week or 2 ago TEMPO (quoted post below) alongside other US government-funded propaganda outlets in Indonesia targeted myself, @NuryVittachi and @angeloinchina for exposing US interference in Indonesia and the US engineering of violent protests last year (2025). Here is a video I did on this US-backed information operation: youtu.be/5xkRhIonmtw?si=fW-a… I warned this was because they were preparing new protests and wanted to "pre-empt" being exposed again this year... ... and here we are - US-funded protests once again in the streets of Indonesia - and JUST AFTER Indonesia's government said NO to the US military seeking access to Indonesia's airspace... Also as warned, the US war on Iran was not to topple Iran "over the weekend," it was to weaken Iran, yes, but more importantly cut both China and the rest of Asia off from energy imports from West Asia (Middle East) and give the US additional leverage in politically capturing Asian states along China's periphery - Indonesia being one of them. The US has toppled and captured nations in this manner throughout the 21st century without they themselves firing a single shot - this is America's premier superweapon - and hardly anyone talks about it let alone is doing anything to stop it. Nations need to secure their information space - stop allowing US-based social media platforms and their algorithms determine what YOUR people see, hear, and ultimately THINK. Take back your universities from Western-indoctrinated "professors" and "curriculum." Create your own pipelines for creating trained civil servants, journalists, and IT specialists who work for Indonesia's best interests - not Washington and Wall Street's. This so-called "soft power" is a weapon more powerful than any missile, drone, or bomb and it is being deployed by the US WORLDWIDE.

The Philippines faces an existential threat. No, not "Chinese expansionism in the South CHINA Sea," but the fact the Philippines is LITERALLY OCCUPIED by US troops who are forcing the country to divert national resources from development to proxy war - into turning the Philippines into the "Ukraine" of Southeast Asia against China, the Philippines' largest trading partner. If the people of the Philippines do not reverse US occupation and oust the US client regime in power now - they will suffer a fate at least as bad as Ukraine. They are already suffering decades-spanning poverty because of their status as a proxy serving US interests at the expense of the Philippines' actual interests. Source - Manila Times: manilatimes.net/2026/06/12/v… This is one the Philippines' Independence Day - guess who they gained independence from? The US - they were literally an outright colony of the US - when they first fought for independence against US occupation and control, the US instituted concentration camps and systematic torture - this according to the US State Department's OWN account: "The war was brutal on both sides. U.S. forces at times burned villages, implemented civilian reconcentration policies, and employed torture on suspected guerrillas..."

This 2015 bombing in Thailand followed Bangkok ignoring US demands to allow Chinese terror suspects from Xinjiang to travel on to Turkey where they would almost certainly join the US-armed/directed proxy war on Syria. Instead the suspects were sent back to China from Thailand to face justice. Months later, a bomb went off in Bangkok killing 20 tourists/locals at a shrine in the middle of downtown. This isn't the first time US-sponsored terrorism struck Bangkok - US-backed mobs burned parts of the capital city to the ground in 2010 along with militants with war weapons fighting Thai troops in the city streets. Just to give people a clearer picture of how the US does business EVERYWHERE regardless of who is in the White House/Congress...
Two Uygur men were sentenced to death in Bangkok yesterday for a 2015 bombing they undertook in the Thai city that killed 20 and injured dozens. In Chinese media, the men are referred to as Chinese and not Uygur, so as not to invoke ethnic tensions.

🇺🇸/IRAN - On Claims of "Final Deal" Being Reached Between US and Iran ▪️The "terms" supposedly agreed to have zero to do with why the US actually launched its illegal war of aggression on Iran in the first place (pushing toward regime change, cutting off China, disrupting Asia's rise); ▪️The "terms" are 100% based in fantasy, just like those of the "ceasefire" that never existed in practice; ▪️Maybe Iran is surrendering without saying so publicly like Venezuela completely did - let's hope not; ▪️Or maybe this is just another fake "deal" the US and its proxies will continue to undermine/violate while slowly rearming and reorganizing ahead of further large-scale aggression just like the "ceasefire" they never actually observed; ▪️As far as the war "ending," that is purely a fantasy removed from all material reality - this is a war waged on various levels since the 1970s amid US designs of politically capturing Iran stretching back to the 1950s; ▪️Meanwhile the US continues to escalate along ALL other fronts of the global war on multipolarism the US war on Iran is just a part of;

🇨🇳🇹🇭🇰🇭 Regarding China Delivering Tanks to Cambodia Amid Tensions with Thailand ▪️The approximately 40 Type-59D tanks delivered by China to Cambodia are part of a deal signed all the way back in 2016 - the tanks themselves are antiquated by today's standards; ▪️This is especially so compared to the 60 much more sophisticated VT-4 tanks Thailand ALSO ordered from China, the last deal being signed more recently in 2019; ▪️The Type-59D delivered to Cambodia is essentially an upgraded early Cold War Soviet T-55 tank clone, the VT-4 delivered to Thailand, a modern 3rd generation main battle tank; ▪️In other words, the China-Cambodia tank deal was from years ago, and delivers subpar capabilities to Cambodia that in no shape, form, or way change the dynamics of current Thai-Cambodian tensions; ▪️Much more recently, Cambodia has ramped up its cooperation with the United States which coincides with Cambodia's provocations leading to current tensions in the first place - this cooperation with the US has resulted in Western drone operators taking part on Cambodia's side in armed conflict with Thailand; ▪️Real analysis goes deeper than one out of context tank deal - it requires determining the vector sum of combined international relations to understand involvement, motives, and intent; ▪️China's relationship with Thailand is many times larger and more important than with Cambodia in terms of trade, military cooperation, arms deals, infrastructure projects, tourism, and industry; Image: Allegedly of a Type-59D tank delivered to Cambodia.

A lot of people boil analysis down to: "China gave tanks to Cambodia, therefore, China supports Cambodia, and thus the US supports Thailand." No effort is put into placing any of these events into context like when the deal was signed, what China may have already delivered to Thailand, or the fact that nations attempt to influence other nations in terms of cooperation even if another rival nation has greater influence over the same nation already. Both Thailand and Cambodia have dealings with both China and the US - as well as with Russia. All 3 are vying to create the best outcome for their respective geopolitical objectives. This means you need to try to calculate the vector sum of these relations - adding up and comparing trade volume/percentages, other military cooperation, the direction military cooperation is going (expanding, contracting, static) and so on. If you do this - you almost always come up with an entirely different conclusion - and one that meshes with reality more accurately and gives you a more accurate idea of what is and will happen. The same goes for analyzing protests - don't base your conclusion on the flags and slogans of the protesters - the rhetorical projection it is creating, you MUST follow the money and establish the material reality of the protests. Again - you will almost always end up drawing entirely different conclusions by doing so - and conclusions that mesh more accurately with the rest of reality. I could go on. The bottom line - follow the money, and make sure you add all the money up for a complete picture. Geopolitical vignettes (a limited snapshot) are almost always misleading and often exploited to deliberately mislead the public.

🇺🇸/IRAN - US Continues Stringing World Along On "Deal" With Iran ▪️ The US administration has talked about a "deal" with Iran regarding Washington's own illegal war of aggression launched against it "any day now" for months; ▪️ The US administration has likewise talked about a "deal" with Russia for nearly 2 years now; ▪️If these empty and obviously deceitful words are completely ignored and only US actions observed, the US has ONLY continuously escalated, using claims of "deals" to string along anyone in the public or positions of power naive enough to value words over actions; ▪️The US is trying to pursue primacy through weakening targeted nations while undermining the global economy without triggering a unified global response that could resolutely stop it - and so far it is working; ▪️Nations like Russia, Iran, and China have prepared for years to face US aggression, and to a degree have coordinated their response, but have still failed to counter the US practice of politically capturing proxies and fighting targeted nations through them - Iran faces the problem that no matter how much damage it causes US proxies in West Asia, the US itself remains a threat - likewise for Russia in Ukraine or even the rest of Europe; ▪️Without any means of stopping the US from infiltrating and capturing targeted nations - like Armenia most recently - this slow burn will only continue as it has for the past two decades plus; ▪️Is it possible the multipolar world believes all it has to do is replace/displace US corporate monopolies and ALL of these threats will be neutralized - including US domination of global information space? Is that even true? Seems unlikely. Almost certainly more needs to be done. Only time will tell...

🇺🇸/IRAN - More US Strikes On Iran ▪️It's clear the US was planning escalation, seeking to knock over whatever Iran was trying to rebuild following the February-March US aggression, used Israel to break the illusion of ceasefire to escalate, and is attempting to dismantle parts of Iranian defenses particularly along the coasts; ▪️This will continue the same way the US has maintained cycles of fake talks and escalation vis-a-vis Russia in Ukrainen; ▪️Essentially this is "mowing the grass," rather than "paving the lawn" because US military industrial production simply is incapable of providing the capabilities to do the latter; ▪️US policy toward Iran mirrors its Russian policy, placing multi-domain pressure on Iran in the hopes synergies between pressures cause something somewhere to crack; ▪️There is also the continued controlled demolition of West Asian energy exports & the global economy - forcing China to replace up to 50% of its imported energy; ▪️ by cutting off other nations in Asia, including US proxies/potential proxies, it increases energy dependence in Asia on the US, thus enhancing US leverage in disrupting their respective ties to China, just as the US did to Europe regarding Russian energy exports. ▪️Meanwhile, the US continues preparing Europe to confront Russia more directly amid the US proxy war in Ukraine; ▪️As warned all the way back in February 2025, the US is using a "division of labor" to maintain the war in Ukraine through Europe while pivoting primary attention to its war on Iran and further encircling China in the process; ▪️Whether it works or not is up to the multipolar world - it has prepared for this campaign of global aggression and is weathering it - but so far appears unable to deter the US from escalating;

🇺🇸🇮🇱NEW VIDEO: Who Really Controls US Foreign Policy & What They Gain By Convincing You Otherwise... On YouTube: youtu.be/XgnjltFXBCE?si=toPY… ▪️The US is controlled by US-based corporations Americans themselves fund daily by buying their goods and services; ▪️These corporations are lead, chaired, and owned by majority white nominally "Christian" men, or in other words, Westerners - not ethnic or religious minorities like "Jews;" ▪️These corporations also make up the vast majority of lobbying money spent annually in the United States with organizations like AIPAC making up LESS than 1% of all US lobbying; ▪️It is stated US policy to scapegoat Israel amid the US war on Iran, a policy that has been promoted by the mainstream media, the algorithms of US-based social media platforms, and even the US administration itself;

For those who would like more information about how exactly US corporations control US foreign and domestic policy, I did an in-depth video on this a while ago: youtu.be/p-MvPLV1Rf8?si=eB3B… It explains how corporations fund/chair/direct policy "think tanks" which produce policy papers, teams of lawyers transform them into bills, teams of lobbyists bring them to Washington to be signed off on, while the corporate media sells these policies to the American public...

"But Brian! What about Thomas Massie!!!" I explained in the video that these lobbying groups, Israeli, Ukrainian, etc., are used to police Congress and US information space. It is a way to keep interests on track and remove dissent without attracting attention to the actual interests driving US policy. As if Lockheed or Boeing themselves would openly unseat an anti-war representative. Israel is the attack dog of US corporations in West Asia, and AIPAC is their attack dog in Washington. Not complicated.

🇺🇸🇨🇳US Lists Chinese Companies "Aiding China's Military" ▪️Amid the daily political circus and hallucinations of a "retreating" or "conciliatory" United States, the US continues expanding wars, proxy wars, a global blockade on Russia, China, and Iran as well as again targeting some of China's largest companies; ▪️Even if these companies did associate with China's military (as US companies do with the US military) - unlike the US military, China's military has not attacked or invaded a single nation this entire 21st century - the only "danger" these companies pose to the US are in terms of America's inability to compete fairly- the only "danger" the Chinese military poses is to illegal US encroachment closer to China than to America's own shores; ▪️The US decision is a deliberately false pretext to sabotage China's rise and firmly lays to rest fantasies of the US seeking to "accommodate" or "coexist" with China; ▪️The actual trajectory of US-Chinese relations has always been and continues to be one of US encirclement, containment, and desired primacy over China;

🇺🇸/IRAN - I US Carries Out More Strikes on Iran ▪️US claims strikes are in response to downed US Apache attack helicopter and "defensive" in nature; ▪️In reality, the attack helicopter was involved in imposing an illegal blockade on Iran (an act of war) following a unilateral and likewise illegal war of aggression launched against Iran in late February -  follow up strikes since the "ceasefire" are meant to further degrade Iran's ability to DEFEND itself from ongoing US aggression; ▪️There is no "ceasefire" or "talks," just the US picking apart Iran just below the threshold of total war so it doesn't run out of munitions - but at a pace that prevents regional stability from resuming and energy exports from restarting; ▪️There are claims from US intelligence that Iran is rapidly rebuilding military capabilities lost during the previous US war launched February/March meaning Iran might be waiting to reach a certain level of readiness before launching more effective defensive operations - that remains to be seen; ▪️The US attacks coupled with the economic impact of the US blockade on Iran impose additional pressure on Iran ahead of what will be inevitably further "regime change" attempts; ▪️Unless the US blockade is broken or the multipolar world works around it - including preventing Iran's collapse and Asian nations from becoming energy dependent on the US - the US is still advancing its objectives both in the region and globally;

Exactly - the US "connecting" Chinese companies to the Chinese military is just an excuse to further block/ban/tariff Chinese companies... ... because the US CANNOT compete fairly with them - and refuses to simply recognize China's peaceful rise surpassing them...
THE PENTAGON YESTERDAY DECLARED BYD, the world’s most successful electric carmaker, to be linked to the Chinese army. Alibaba, one of the world’s largest retailers and e-commerc companies, was also added to the Federal Register yesterday. Innovative tech firm Baidu, and two chipmakers, ChangXin Memory Technologies and Yangtze Memory Technologies, were also written into the register, known as the “1260H list”. Last year, the Pentagon made the same accusation at Tencent, the world’s biggest video game and entertainment company, owner of Epic Games, and a major backer of Reddit, Snapchat, Spotify and others. . UNFAIR The accusations are unfair, and everybody knows it. America’s biggest firms work directly with the Pentagon at extremely deep levels with multiple joint ventures to create attack tools, yet this is never considered an issue. In contrast, Chinese firms which have the slightest interaction with their country’s army are targeted for harm by the Pentagon. The accusation paves the way for the US to make unilateral sanctions against the firms and then use economic coercion to force its vassals (“allies”) to follow suit. . REAL REASON Analysts say the real reason is to harm the work of Chinese technologists, many of whom are developing AI applications. The US already has an unassailable lead in the sector, with more than 5,400 datacenters compared to China’s approximately 375, but Washington DC has strongly opposed the concept of fair competition in recent years. The listing move also harms US investors, who are steered away from buying shares in companies on the register, which are some of the most innovative and fast-growing firms in the world.

🇺🇸🇪🇺🇷🇺/Iran/🇨🇳US Continues Slowly Expanding Global Blockade ▪️The US has recently struck and disabled another ship as part of its blockade on Iran and China; ▪️The EU has announced incremental tightening of its campaign against "shadow fleet" vessels (on behalf of Washington); ▪️Together this represents the continual slow expansion of what is a global blockade the US is trying to impose on multipolar nations, specifically Russia, Iran, and China; ▪️By doing it slowly it avoids any outright provocation any targeted nation can cite to retaliate, while gradually increasing economic pressure on all three; ▪️The question is, can these nations sidestep or retaliate asymmetrically faster than the US and its proxies can disrupt their maritime trade? (Note: Elon Musk's X is still using the CIA "shah" flag for Iran, therefore Iran's actual flag is unavailable for post titles).

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦Russian Forces Advance in Fortified Konstantinovka ▪️despite narratives of Ukraine "turning the tide," with drone strikes Russia itself has already been carrying out for years and on a much larger scale - Russian forces continue to advance even along the most heavily fortified sections of the front; ▪️This includes the heavily fortified city of Konstantinovka in Donetsk, Donbass region - you can see the progress made over the course of the last month (May 8 - June 8 2026); ▪️Konstantinovka is part of the larger Kramatorsk/Slaviansk urban area - the last major populated centers in the Donbass still under Ukrainian control - Russia seeks to take these regions as part of its primary operational objectives; ▪️While the "Ukraine turning the tide" narrative is false - the US through its Ukrainian proxies have certainly raised the costs significantly for Russia amid this US proxy war;
