Weaponized Information: Daily Redlines Report – April 21, 2025
Daily revolutionary dispatches from the frontlines of global class war, settler empire, and technofascist recalibration.
Africa
From Ecuador to Ethiopia, the assault on African people is global. Imperialist counterinsurgency isn’t just local—it’s transcontinental, racialized, and militarized. The war on Blackness is foundational to technofascism: surveillance, economic strangulation, and propaganda dressed as aid. This article connects the dots most media won’t.
Trump 2.0 isn’t retreating from Africa—he’s switching weapons. Out with diplomacy, in with discipline. The budget cuts to soft power are part of a recalibration where private contractors, tech surveillance, and raw extraction replace ambassadors. The U.S. doesn’t want partners in Africa. It wants minerals and obedience.
Burkina Faso’s alignment with Russia terrifies Washington—not because of “terrorism” but because of de-dollarization. Gold is power. The U.S. wants to police who holds it and who they sell it to. The EFF’s rejection of Yankee smear tactics is a call for African sovereignty—economic, political, and ideological.
Asia
This is what decoupling looks like. As the U.S. weaponizes citizenship and sanctions, Chinese engineers are returning home to build an independent industrial base. This isn’t just migration—it’s geopolitical re-alignment. The brain drain is flowing east now, not west.
Gulf capital is moving east—not just for returns, but to escape the volatility of a crumbling Western order. As Trump stokes uncertainty, sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia to the UAE are betting on Asian tech, infrastructure, and energy. This isn’t just investment—it’s strategic realignment. In the age of hyper-imperialism, capital seeks stability, and the empire is no longer a safe bet.
A 32% export boom might look like success, but dig deeper: who profits? Without breaking from foreign capital and comprador elites, Indonesia’s growth just lubricates the same imperial machine. The Global South doesn’t need more exports. It needs ownership and redistribution.
Middle East
As U.S. bombs proxies, Iran builds satellites. Empire tries to isolate; the resistance reaches orbit. This space alliance with Russia is a direct challenge to Western monopoly on high-tech warfare, intelligence, and surveillance. It’s insurgency in orbit.
Colonial rituals masquerading as faith. Al-Aqsa’s militarized invasions are symbolic conquests—less about prayer than presence. This is spiritual warfare, occupation theology, and settler supremacy baptized in nationalism. Zionism’s God is a border guard.
Washington’s monopoly on Middle East diplomacy is cracking. With Russia stepping in, multipolarity is no longer a theory—it’s policy. The unipolar empire is running out of leverage, and every treaty it doesn’t control becomes an act of rebellion.
Latin America & the Caribbean
Sheinbaum’s bill aims a slingshot at a media Goliath. The ban on foreign-funded media is a shot at CIA-linked “NGOs” and info-warfare operations that hijack public opinion. This is media sovereignty in a technofascist age—dangerous, urgent, and long overdue.
Due process is a slogan—unless you’re a migrant. Then it’s optional. These lawyers expose how U.S. courts criminalize survival. Migrants are political prisoners of empire, punished not for what they do, but for where they come from—and what they threaten to reveal.
Another neoliberal fraudster backed by empire, another rigged election rubber-stamped as “democratic.” Noboa’s rise reeks of IMF fingerprints, media complicity, and Washington silence. Elections under empire are coups with better lighting.
Europe
While NATO blows up pipelines, Russia builds propulsion engines. The new plasma engine marks a turn in techno-geopolitics—where weaponry and innovation now orbit outside U.S. control. The race for space is on, and the empire’s not winning.
History buried history—and empire tried to erase it. Under a Hellenistic necropolis near Alexandria, archaeologists uncovered a thriving New Kingdom-era Egyptian settlement, complete with wine production and royal inscriptions. The discovery reveals how imperial overlays—first Persian, then Greek—attempted to overwrite native Egyptian civilization. But the mudbrick memory of the colonized won’t stay buried. This is archaeology as class struggle: the oppressed leave behind their own ruins, waiting to be rediscovered in defiance of the official record.
Consortium News pulls back the curtain: the NATO-backed Ukrainian military isn’t just nationalist—it’s white supremacist. Fascism is no accident here—it’s a feature, not a bug, of Western counterinsurgency.
North America
Trump’s tariff tantrum has triggered Canadian consumer resistance. What looks like nationalism is actually inter-imperialist friction spilling into the marketplace. The settler blocs are fragmenting—and the petty bourgeoisie is panicking.
With one statement, Trump spooks Wall Street. This is not economic policy—it’s class warfare by tweet. The markets aren’t free. They’re battlegrounds, and the monopoly capitalists are arming up for the next liquidity crisis.
Mexico’s new data law is a jab at Silicon Valley’s imperial grip. But reform can’t defeat surveillance capitalism without revolution. So long as infrastructure remains colonized, even privacy is a foreign import.
United States
In Bastrop, Texas, Elon Musk is building more than factories—he’s building a technofascist fiefdom. Fleeing regulation and diversity in California, Musk now rules a sprawling private compound subsidized by state grants and exempt from tariffs. Locals get jobs and coffee shops, but also water pollution, surveillance, and rising costs. This is settler-colonial capitalism in real time: corporate secession under the guise of “innovation.” A town swallowed by a billionaire’s empire—and the empire’s name is Musk.
A trillion-dollar military, but no high-speed train. This is not failure—it’s capitalism doing what it does best: funneling public funds into private pockets. Infrastructure under empire is a scam disguised as progress.
Sanctions were supposed to choke China. Instead, they fed Huawei. This is imperial blowback 101: sabotage the world, then act surprised when someone else rebuilds it better. Technofascism tripped over its own firewall.
