Political perspective cleverly delivered — regarding the Accurate Energetic Systems explosion that killed 16 people

15 October 2025

Anti-propaganda propaganda, cleverly delivered?

I came across the following on the World Socialist Website — here in excerpts:

On the morning of Friday, October 10, a massive explosion obliterated a building at Accurate Energetic Systems (AES), a military explosives plant in rural Tennessee, killing 16 workers in one of the worst industrial disasters in the United States in decades.

Within days, national news outlets dropped the story entirely.

This silence exposes the contempt of the corporate media and political establishment for the lives of workers, along with a fear that the unending carnage in the industrial slaughterhouse of American capitalism will fuel mass anger and rebellion.

The media blackout coincides with the deliberate downplaying of Trump’s plans to invoke the Insurrection Act and establish military rule to crush opposition.

The Trump administration has placed OSHA under the control of David Keeling, a former UPS and Amazon executive who opposed even heat protections for delivery drivers.

The ongoing government shutdown is being used to slash “non-essential” safety enforcement.

While executives enrich themselves, the workers who produce their weapons are maimed or killed.

Trump, acting as the open political agent of the corporate-military elite, has threatened to deploy troops to major US cities to crush “disorder”—a clear warning that the same methods used to suppress protests will be used against defense and industrial workers who resist the war economy.

Unless the working class intervenes consciously to take control of production, more towns will burn, more workers will die, and more families will identify their loved ones by DNA.

Those are accurate perceptions, cleverly sequenced to make an anti-kakistocracy case.

The moral? — The Grand American Oligarchy's propaganda keeps us enslaved

We don't recognize the corral's bars, until someone outside shakes them into being visible.

And even then, our corrupted brains generally prefer being blind and imprisoned.
