“You must remember this…”

Or: I miss Marianne…

In case you were wondering why the US is now engaged in an utterly illegal action against Iran, with the explicit help of Israel —

“Could have come through anytime,

Cold lonely, puritan

What are you fighting for ?

It’s not my security.

It’s just an old war,

Not even a cold war,

Don’t say it in Russian,

Don’t say it in German.

Say it in broken English,

Say it in broken English.

Lose your father, your husband,

Your mother, your children.

What are you dying for ?

It’s not my reality.

It’s just an old war,

Not even a cold war,

Don’t say it in Russian,

Don’t say it in German.

Say it in broken English,

Say it in broken English.

What are you fighting for ?

“In Darkness Let Me Dwell…”

Or: “Semper Dowland, semper dolens”

What fresh hell is this?

Words like “out of control”, “insanity”, “regime change now” are all springing to mind but the regime change needs to be in Washington, DC. I’m not supporting the zealots in Tehran, but I am emphatically calling for invocation of the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution or for the US Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against one of the most corrupt administrations in US history.

Nothing less.

And preferably on the grounds of treason and sedition so that the others engaged in the support of the convicted felon currently residing in the White House can also be removed from power.

Four hundreds (roughly) separate these two; this is 400th anniversary of Dowland’s death, he “whose touch upon the lute lute doth ravish human sense.”

“Thousands of Western nationals fought Israel’s war on Gaza: What to know”

Or: Which Side Of History Do You Want to Be On, Bucko?

Al Jazeera reporting on the s0-called “cease fire” in Gaza, or should we say, the continuing genocide there. It seems that The West (Qu’est-ce que c’est ça ?) has still more to answer for.

They report that over 50,000 of the soldiers involved on the Israeli side of things hold multiple passports, the overwhelming number coming from the US and Europe.

Permanent Resource List

I’ve added a page for alternative resources. This includes ICE-monitoring sites in Europe and elsewhere, alternatives to US-based digital products, and whatever else is need to bring about an end to the oligarchy…

Ice, ICE, baby… I’m melting

Bookmark or whatever you need to do to find it again.

The Piper at Dawn

Or: “Onward through the fog… of tear gas!

An excerpt from the L. A. Taco — creative opposition!

“This 21-Year-Old Bagpiper Plays Through Tear Gas to ‘Fire Up’ Anti-ICE Protesters

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it’s like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.”

“…isn’t dangerous enough to remain in detention”

“Haaretz reports that Hathaleen’s killer, Yinon Levi, was released to house arrest while he’s investigated for manslaughter, with a judge deciding that he isn’t dangerous enough to remain in detention.

This decision comes less than a day after Levi shot and killed Hathaleen in broad daylight, with the attack caught on camera. Witnesses said that Levi later said of the shooting, “I’m glad I did it,” per Al Jazeera.

I can only ask, “What the fcuk?” In broad daylight, in from of cameras.
