Empire Files
we’re in the midst of a global pandemic
billions of people around the world are
worrying about how they’re gonna survive
it physically and economically while the
US Empire sees it as a perfect
opportunity to advance this new reality
exposes the great contradictions of the
current world order so-called enemies of
the US Cuba and China are exporting
hundreds of doctors and medical supplies
while the capitalist icon United States
doles out death abroad and trails the
world and caring for its own people
first claiming kovat 19 was being used
as a Democratic Party hoax now Trump
boasts it’ll be a great success
if only 200,000 Americans die most
Americans who don’t know how they’re
gonna pay rent can clearly see how the
recent 2 trillion dollar bailout
prioritized corporations and
billionaires handing out billions of
dollars for candy dynasties and cruise
liners but what’s more hidden is how the
US Empire is using the pandemic outside
of its borders to
long-standing US policy has left dozens
of countries on the brink of collapse
making it near impossible to brace for
the inevitable few more so than war
stricken Yemen already suffering the
world’s worst humanitarian crisis from
the five-year long us Saudi bombing
campaign since the assault began in 2015
there have been at least 120 attacks
against medical facilities crippling an
already devastated medical
infrastructure that couldn’t deal with
civilian casualties from war let alone
the outbreak of a deadly pandemic but
here the US has also escalated amidst
the crisis Trump is moving forward with
a drastic reduction of aid that would
cut most of the support to the country’s
already battered health sector including
critical assistance to crowded camps and
water and sanitation networks
places where kovat could spread rapidly
in short periods the bombing continues –
on March 30th the us-saudi coalition
launched 19 airstrikes in the capital
city of Sanaa killing at least one
person to further destroy this densely
populated city where most of the COBIT
response will take place as criminal
it’s hard to comprehend how any
government could take such drastic
measures to kill even more civilians at
a time like this
while world leaders are calling for an
international ceasefire that hasn’t
stopped the u.s. from dropping bombs
since the virus outbreak US drones fired
down on a bus in Somalia and mid March
killing six civilians including the bus
driver a local farmer and a 13 year old
boy
it won’t be the last us claims it has a
small footprint in Africa our debunked
by internal documents that reveal a
staggering 29 bases since this is all
top secret it’s hard to know what else
will be taking place on the continent
under the cover of kovat the first kovat
19 case hit Afghanistan in February
occupying US troops there have also
tested positive with decimated
infrastructure the Afghan Health
Ministry estimates that at least a
hundred thousand Afghans will die from
the virus it came as a relief then when
on February 29th the Trump
administration signed a surprise deal to
end the war and bring all troops home in
about a year after years of negotiations
the Taliban accepted this deal and a
ceasefire began but just hours after
bragging of the talks the US had resumed
airstrikes on Taliban forces once again
ending the end of the war
and that’s not all Afghan sovereignty to
the US government means they have to
follow Washington’s orders as the combat
drags on the Afghan government has been
punished for not pleasing the White
House on March 24 the Trump
administration said it was cutting a
massive 1 billion dollars in aid which
will have a devastating impact on the
nation’s ability to brace for the health
crisis in Iraq the u.s. Empire’s other
forever war a new escalation is
happening on March 27 the New York Times
published a secret Pentagon directive
aimed at using the coronavirus to
destroy so-called iranian-backed
militias killing Iranian backed forces
is just code for killing anti-us Iraqis
as the document states some top
officials have been pushing for
aggressive new action against Iran and
see an opportunity to destroy Ronnie and
backed militia groups in Iraq as leaders
in Iran are distracted by the pandemic
crisis in their country
the directive detailed a list of targets
in Iraq to bomb leaders to assassinate
and shockingly included Iranian ships to
attack even the top US commander Andy
Rock admitted it risks a full-blown war
with Iran while it’s unclear if this is
moving forward in its entirety the plans
have been drafted and have already been
implemented to some degree on March 13
the u.s. bombed a wide variety of Iraqi
targets
[Music]
on March 14 it’s believed that another
Iranian general was killed in a u.s.
airstrike the very act of reckless
belligerents that put us on the
precipice of war mere months ago
additionally while masses of Iraqis are
protesting the occupation and the
pending health crisis the u.s. decided
now is a good time to send even more
soldiers deploying additional Patriot
missile systems with hundreds of US
troops to operate them in the same
imperial mission of oil dominance US
troops are still patrolling in Syria
with the open intention to control the
oil fields today increasingly in combat
in a war that was supposed to end this
is coupled with u.s. approved airstrikes
on the syrian state by its attack dog
israel the latest on March 5th
the Syrian government has petitioned for
an ease and sanctions to deal with the
pandemic but on March 17 the u.s.
responded saying they would tighten them
instead
[Music]
while the Iraqi and Syrian people bear
the brunt of the Empire’s military
destruction justified by countering
Iranian influence the Iranian people are
suffering casualties from a different
kind of war the 800 or so sanctions
Trump imposed on Iran were already
killing civilians from lack of medical
supplies and set the stage for the
devastation they’re now experiencing
from the outbreak of kovat 19 Iran is
the hardest hit country in the Middle
East
surpassing 2600 deaths as of March 29
with one person dying every 10 minutes
these crippling sanctions are causing an
unquantifiable amount of unnecessary
suffering and death but the Trump
administration has defied all pleas from
the international community and even
from Congress to ease them unthinkably
the u.s. is adding even more we are
announcing new sanctions on the regime
it’s it’s a kleptocracy it’s this
Marxist theory attic kleptocracy on
March 26 the u.s. imposed new sanctions
that punished politicians who support
removing US troops from Iraq restrict
the sale of Iranian oil and even attack
a charity that maintains holy sites this
scenario is exactly what sanctions are
for it’s a dream come true for the
imperialists see this is what you get
when you don’t play by our rules they
can blame the government for an aptitude
building a case for regime change on top
of a growing pile of bodies as Pompeo
declared the wuhan virus is a killer and
the Iranian regime is an accomplice
murderous sanctions are not the only act
of aggression by the US Empire in Iran
on March 13 two additional aircraft
carriers were sent to patrol the Arabian
Sea the first time this has happened
since 2012
the new naval mobilization expressly
threatens military strikes on Iran and
on March 23rd the US and United Arab
Emirates publicized a full-scale mock
invasion of Iran actually constructing a
fictional Iranian city for troops to
conquer and destroy the message of these
operations is quite clear while your
nation is suffering and dying we are
taking another step towards war in
Venezuela even bolder moves for regime
change by the Trump admin the
democratically elected Maduro government
has arguably taken the most Pro working
class approach to the pandemic with a
six-month rent freeze and outline
layoffs but in the face of US sanctions
they are still in crisis before the
pandemic US sanctions on food and
medicine had directly killed over 40,000
Venezuelans according to the Center for
Economic and Policy Research so on March
13 right after Venezuela got its first
confirmed case of the corona virus the
u.s. imposed even more these sanctions
target the country’s oil exports the
source of almost all of its income in
desperate need of help
Venezuela went to the IMF on March 18
for an emergency loan to prepare for
what was on the horizon the u.s. made
sure it was blocked and the loan was
denied but maximizing physical and
economic death in the nation wasn’t
enough for the US Empire so on March 26
Washington took their biggest move for
regime change since the failed US coup
attempt in January 2019 in essence they
placed a kidnapping bounty on the head
of Maduro offering 15 million dollars
for his arrest with 10 million dollar
bounties on other top officials this
provides even more incentive for US
funded opposition forces to fulfill the
dream of a coup from within ironically
the real narco States are the closest US
ally
like the governments of Colombia and
Honduras Nicolas Maduro must go we must
get this democracy started we have not
introduced this pathway to achieve that
we’ve made clear all along that Nicolas
Maduro will never again cover the Swale
on March 31st they published a
transition plan where the u.s. promised
to lift all sanctions on Venezuela
if the Socialists leave office to
escalate the threat Trump announced on
April 1st he was doubling the amount of
warships aircraft and Special Forces
troops of Venezuela’s coast while the
Pentagon is using this pandemic
opportunity to beef up occupation forces
throughout Latin America
those directed at Venezuela are a
dangerous step towards war
I would like to begin by announcing some
important developments in our war
against the Chinese virus the impact of
the Chinese virus on our nation’s
students the Chinese where’s the Chinese
virus I talk about the Chinese virus and
and I mean it why are you keep calling
this the Chinese virus drums injury
exist it’s not racist at all no not at
all it comes from China
that’s why China the country the u.s.
foreign policy establishment has
declared the enemy and perpetrator of
the deadly virus has it mostly contained
and is now in the process of aiding
other inflicted countries with supplies
of desperately needed medical equipment
including millions of masks and
thousands of ventilators and protective
suits in a time of much and needed
cooperation between the two countries
anti-china Hawks are seizing the
opportunity to push hardline policy
against China as well as anti Chinese
racism key to war propaganda politicians
like Tom cotton are making the media
rounds to assert covert 19 is an
engineered Chinese bio weapon this
unfounded conspiracy isn’t just the
ranting and raving from a lone senator
it seems to be a coordinated attempt on
behalf of the same war mongering
neo-cons that advocated the invasion of
Iraq now with the same premise to
confront China allow international
inspectors into your labs to disprove
the claim furthermore Matthew Pottenger
Trump’s main architect of policy on
China is one of many turning up the
economic war
advocating to sever ties which will put
even more strain on the medical supply
chain into the u.s. it’s not just war
hungry neo-cons though corporate media
outlets across the political spectrum
continuously D legitimize China’s aid
delivery as propaganda efforts by the
communist regime to quote curry favor
with our allies this all translates into
much more as the virus takes over the
u.s. is conducting mock battles with the
Chinese Navy in the region as a threat
just last week the Navy launched
live-fire missiles in the Philippine Sea
and throughout March it’s conducted
regular military exercises in the South
China Sea
something China has called a hegemonic
act that violates international law and
threatens peace and stability the
Pentagon sees open war with China as
inevitable not because it poses any
threat to us but because it poses a
threat to capitalist profits so this
pandemic is being used as a golden
opportunity to fast-track this new Cold
War
even us allies are being put on notice
as they struggle with the outbreak
Cuba’s world-renowned doctors and their
effective virus treatment are being
requested by dozens of governments in
desperate need of help but the State
Department has issued an official
warning to not allow this aid that would
no doubt save lives simply because it
would legitimize a government the US has
held bent on overthrowing taking
advantage of the pandemic to further
demonize Cuba and claim all their
international solidarity is just a front
for communist dictatorship is
unconscionable regime change propaganda
with deadly consequences so far at least
53 countries have joined the call for an
international ceasefire so the world can
band together to fight a common enemy
kovat 19 at a time where global
cooperation has never been more urgent
countries are stepping up to show true
international solidarity but the u.s.
Empire has brazenly shown it will only
weaponize the crisis making disregard
for life it’s official policy here at
home Americans anticipate the worst left
to suffer and die by their leaders in a
corporate sacrifice zone rich
politicians love to say that we’re all
in this together but it’s clear we are
not it’s just those of us who were
screwed by the corporate bailout and
those abroad living under US domination
who are all truly in this together one
thing is for sure there’s no going back
from this moment this crisis exposes the
true nature of our imperialist system
but that also means that together we can
turn our collective hopelessness into
collective radicalization
