The entire basis of Rockhill's book is that he has discovered proof that Marcuse worked for intelligence far beyond the OSS period.

西方对中国最愤怒是中国把他们躺赚了几十年的暴利生意，一个个砸成了普通人都买得起的日用品。
这种愤怒已经刻进了很多西方人的骨子里，他们不是不理解，而是不愿意理解，不愿意接受自己再也不能躺着剥削全世界的事实。
二十年前，中国修地铁要用盾构机，全部从德国进口。一台盾构机德国卖3.5亿人民币，一分钱都不能少。买的时候还要签霸王条款，机器坏了只能找德国工程师来修。
德国工程师来中国一天的工资是3000欧元，换算成人民币当时是3万多。他们坐飞机必须坐头等舱，住必须是五星级酒店的总统套房。
维修的时候中国人不能在旁边看，必须全部离场，修完了直接开账单，换一个小小的密封圈就要10万人民币。
有时候机器出个小故障，要等德国工程师三个月才能来，整个工地几百人就只能闲着干等，每天损失几百万。
没有人觉得这有什么不对。全世界都默认，高科技就应该卖这么贵，德国人掌握了技术，他们就有资格赚这个钱。甚至放言给中国图纸也造不出盾构机。
但到2008年，中国第一台拥有自主知识产权的盾构机下线。当时德国人根本不在乎，他们觉得中国人造出来的肯定是垃圾，用不了几天就会坏。
结果中国盾构机不仅能用，而且价格直接开到了5000万一台。后来随着技术不断成熟，产量不断提高，现在一台国产盾构机只要2000多万人民币，价格只有原来德国的十七分之一。
德国盾构机的垄断神话一夜之间破灭了。原来全世界只有德国、日本、美国少数几个国家能造盾构机，他们联合起来维持高价，想卖多少钱就卖多少钱。
现在中国加入了，他们的价格体系彻底崩溃了。现在德国盾构机想卖出去，价格也只能降到和中国差不多的水平，再也不能躺着赚暴利了。
而这样的事在各个领域都不断的上演，套用足球解说的一句话，留给西方垄断的时间不多了。

“The British government’s position is antisemitic.”
After being banned from travelling to the UK over his criticism of Israel, US commentator Cenk Uygur tells Novara Live that some of Zionism’s staunchest supporters are smearing Jewish people by pretending they all support genocide.
He said polling suggests a large number of Jewish Americans oppose Israel’s mass killing in Gaza.
“When you say that all Jewish people are in favour of Israel’s genocide – and hence if you criticise Israel’s genocide, you’re against all Jewish people – you’re greatly smearing Jewish people,” Uygur said.

Ukrainians seem unable to grasp one simple fact.
If you want to celebrate Bandera, Shukhevych, Melnyk, and other fascists, be my guest.
But then stop passing the hat around the world!
You can’t demand that everyone else bankroll your cause while insisting that your national heroes are none of their business.

"Todavía estoy dentro de la lucha revolucionaria. No soy yo quién es objetivo del estado, sino el movimiento revolucionario. Mientras haya resistencia, también hay esperanza. Para que podamos ser libres solo es posible si todos son libres".
Daniela Klette, quién fue miembro de la organización anti-imperialista RAF (Fracción del Ejército Rojo), buscada por el régimen alemán durante más de 30 años, fue finalmente condenada a 13 años de prisión por su militancia revolucionaria.
Durante el juicio, Klette se puso orgullosa una kufiya palestina y sacó un cartel que decía: "¡Poned fin al desplazamiento, a los bombardeos y al hambre (en Gaza)!"... el juez sionista furioso dijo que la corte no era un escenario político.
Klette no se arrepiente de nada y mantiene su dignidad intacta ante el imperialismo, una verdadera comunista y ejemplo vivo de la lucha revolucionaria.

My son Artem was abducted by military enlistment office personnel while he was on his way to work. He has 8 children. He is the sole breadwinner for the family.
Honored Artist of Ukraine, Milana Ostanina, is publicly appealing for help in securing the release of her son, who was abducted on May 23 by draft officers despite having all documents that prove his exemption from the draft.

The nationalist freak show rolls on.
Since Zelensky already had his “coming-out moment,” Lviv clearly decided not to lag behind.
Today, city council deputies proposed erecting a monument — right in the city center, on Hasyna Square — to the commander of the Abwehr-linked Nachtigall Battalion and later UPA commander that slaughtered tens of thousands of civilian Poles, Jews and Ukrainians.
I suggest the EU fund the whole thing — and that every official delegation from Poland, Israel, and Germany be marched there for the ceremonial photo-op.

Finkelstein navigated this well. He went on Candace and dropped the truth & now he has the good sense to see that she and Tucker (right populists) are not anti-establishment at all & they will use Israel-Palestine in disingenuous ways to shore up power for the Republican Party.

NGL I am fuming right now.
Candace Owens gave Norm Finkelstein a platform in November 2023 when she was still at the Daily Wire, when no other mainstream outlet would touch him.
Tucker Carlson took his camera into a Qatari hospital for Gaza’s war victims. Where no other mainstream media outlet would have dreamed to go.
MTG was retweeting Gaza Notifications from her *main* account as a sitting member of Congress. When so-called pro-Pal Democrats were posting bullshit platitudes from their secondary accounts like the cowards they are.
None of these people have ever asked for recognition or rewards for this advocacy. They simply did it because it was the right thing to do. And unlike Democrat activists whose profiles are mostly boosted by this advocacy, all of the people on the Right have faced mountains of criticism from the left, right and center for their advocacy.
So how fking dare Finkelstein, or ANYONE ELSE, accuse them of “sinister plots” now. How dare he. This is disgusting.

Nazi salutes on Kyiv’s Maidan Nezalezhnosti, May 23, 2026.
“Slava Ukraini!” — “Heroiam Slava!” shout the neo-Nazis gathered for a rally against labor immigration.
Stay silent, Europe. Stay silent.
Soon they’ll come to “defend” you too.

Comparto este video que lanzaron ayer Silvio Rodríguez y Chico Buarque; los fondos que se recaben serán donados a la Sala de Pediatría del Instituto de Oncología de Cuba, así que si queréis verlo, darle like y compartirlo con otras personas, es un pequeño grano de arena para aliviar la difícil situación en que se encuentran.
El vídeo es precioso y presenta esa Habana tan digna como empobrecida.

Zelensky's new state hero, Andrii Melnyk, in July 1941: "We collaborate closely with Germany and invest everything in this collaboration...we believe that Adolf Hitler’s new order in Europe is the real order, and that Ukraine is one of the avant-gardes"

⚡️ Remains of 20th century Ukrainian military leader Andrii Melnyk brought to Kyiv for reburial.

What does a “civil emergency” mean for trans people, when Katie Wilson & the Democrats are cutting public services in Seattle? And when Wilson is backtracking on union support?
Trans people need free healthcare, public housing, and union jobs, like every other worker.
