Moderate Rebels Twitter has partnered with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), a warmongering Western military cutout that is funded by the US government, NATO, and weapons corporations, to censor critics of their foreign policy.

Moderate Rebels   Western corporate media outlets exemplified how they are propaganda mouthpieces for the US government by uncritically regurgitating its claims, without any evidence, that China is developing "brain-control weaponry" and that Beijing (not North American Big Pharma corporations) is responsible for the pill addiction epidemic in the United States.

failed evolution   World's number one political prisoner, Julian Assange, still in high security prison for exposing horrendous war crimes carried out by the US imperialists and their allies.   The ruthless Western imperialist regime wants to punish the No1 real journalist in the world and make him an example for any Whistleblower or real journalist who will attempt to expose its big crimes in the future.   The only thing that stands between the ruthless imperialists and their plans to exterminate Julian Assange are the thousands of people protesting against his extradition to the US. Among them, famous names from the global political, economic, academic, intellectual and arts sectors.   More and more people should join the fight until full drop of charges against Julian Assange and his release.   So, until then, we should make sure that the clear message will reach the power centers of the worst liberal establishment ever: if you commit another big crime by assassinating Julian
