I Tracked Down the Billionaires "Rebuilding" Gaza from More Perfect Union

 

 

AOC, Gaza, and the Future of the Democratic Party  - Scahill and Grim for Drop Site 

If you think these guys are wrong, we are not fighting for the same things, while you try to convince the world that we are, which is helping no one.  In fact, it's hindering the ability for anyone to do so.  Intellectual dishonestly is a real fucking problem with people who want to be or appear righteous, but don't care to try to truly understand what that actually tangibly means for people who aren't like them or of their world and/or geological location (this includes people from the north/coasts that don't give a shit to understand the millions of people who are trapped under oppressive and racist govts in the south/mid-west).  Instead they must convince you, the person who for an entire lifetime has watched incrementalism provide the slowest, dumbest, often counter-productive (non) results, that, "you just don't understand the long game, mannnn! Harm reduction is the only answer," which is extremely subjective, has little to no scientific basis or agreed upon definition, and only counts certain people's lives to matter in "reducing harm." No one is saying it's not a valid theory, just that it has little real world meaning in today's turbo-paced technological, economic, and cultural acceptance of human beings as calculable expendable meatbags. When I hear privileged liberals, people who present themselves as leftists, carelessly throwing around that theory, it makes me think of out of touch boomers, even though they're Gen Xers or Millennials. I don't hear a lot of the 35 and unders treating the modern version of that concept very seriously.  That is a very specific kind of poly-sci addict outdated elitism that needs to be called out for what it is, which is more like, I'm comfortable, so don't rock the boat too much or do the minimum and just wait and see-ism. There are a lot of people who know what we're up against better than you do, and hug-tapping, I feel you bro bullshit doesn't help if you just keep pushing the same assholes and ideas that got us here.  Their only alternative is to accept it's either this type of piece of shit over here or this other type of piece of shit that's in front of me, instead of publicly destroying both of them every chance they get. 

We don't have time for your incrementalism in 2026, if we ever did.  Loud and brash fuckers along side the calm and cool assholes who only look down upon the fascists are what we need. Do everything out in the open, or you're doing nothing at all because it can all get systematically dismantled behind closed doors.  Use the law, publicly, loudly. When you get a corrupt judge that creates a case-law that is blatant corruption, tally that shit up, name names, present it to the people.  And when the nazis at CNN, CBS, FOX, MSNBC or the other pro-fascism legacy media keep insisting on bringing up stupid shit like, "BUT HASAN!" or racist shit like "BUT TEH MUSLIMS!" do what the right has been doing for 30 years, talk over them and talk about what you want to talk about, everywhere you go. Call out their very blatant racism and laziness. Attack them for what they are, fascism laundering services, they'll perk up to that shit.  We don't need them anymore, they need us.  It is hilarious how self-described himbo Hasan is fucking all of this shit up for them, they don't know what do with him. They thought they had perfectly fostered this timeline and expertly drawn up taking out a public "Communist" in their blueprints (Has is not a communist, just as he is not a religious Muslim, but it's perfect to neither denounce, nor explicitly identify as either in order to expose their openly racist and fascist perspective in their quest to try to take him out). They didn't expect someone who is unbothered and sticks to his points, admits when he made a mistake, or points out when the opposition makes a good point, before destroying it.  They certainly didn't count on that "mark" being good looking (we're all either Bernie or goblins in their minds) and funny.  Everyone forgets how disarmingly funny he can be. They didn't know that chosen "Commie" would make their pundits and talking heads very visibly frustrated, left feeling insanely jealous or not be able to deny that when he has on those form fitting suits and thick mustache they can't help but quietly say to themselves, "god-damn."  Don't ever let them figure out what to do with you either.

Against the ruling class, slowly stopping the bleeding as your continuously poked in every limb, organ, orifice leads to you bleeding to death, even as every hole is very slowly bandaged.  The only thing we have is our bodies, our labor and our cash, your vote is not even top three at this point because our system is so corrupt.  If you don't understand that, the game that keeps your mind busy even when your not and pays your bills is never going to change. The only thing incrementalists have been offering for 40 years is just to maybe slightly slow down fascism, while not telling you that the ruling class will push you back 5 steps if you dare to take 1 forward.  I'm telling you, these dumb motherfuckers saw The Terminator, Robocop, Blade Runner, Dirty Hairy as kids and saw life goals instead of a warning, and you are treating them like they're the same old mascot assholes that won't leave.  Those who grew up worshiping Opie and Andy, the original Perry Mason, or even the antifascists on Hogan's Heroes aren't calling the shots anymore. They're strategically being terrified by their heirs and their younger peers so they can milk as much money from them as possible without asking or having to provide a direct reason for it.  They want to do Cyberpunk (OG, not just the video game) in the real world and they're doing everything they can to make it happen.  They are mentally ill, so they don't care that in those same science fiction sources, dystopian societies rarely keep the engineers and financiers safe from the psychopaths who helped create it by acquiring power and wealth through planned chaos.

A public neutering can get you into positions of power, and using that position to talk about things from a different perspective might even help you to change the course of an ongoing public debate, but none of it means anything if it's all for show to save face, and only for political purposes.  It has to be because these issues, these human lives mean something to you and you need to remind others why those lives matter to them, too.  If you don't mean it, ultimately, that is what the public sees, someone who only has their back when it's politically expedient.  That's all we've ever had, don't think of it as some brand new thing when it's a supposed progressive doing it.  Many of them want a pat on the back for saying things that "MODERATES" were saying 15-20 years ago.  Stop being so fucking predictable.  It's why it takes very little organization or brains to beat you. 

 

I have to stop editing this shit, it never gets posted because I just keep adding shit to it.

FEMA’s New Mission: Domestic Terrorism by Ken Klippenstein

The disaster response agency forgets the weather, embraces pre-crime

Read on Substack

There is going to be so much to abolish and rebuild after the fascists scurry off into their rat nests. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone, including people who consider themselves "centrists", but especially those on the left, would want the same group of controlled opposition democrats who are just as responsible for all of this as the far right is, to be the ones in power to hold anyone accountable and deal with the global and domestic disasters that we've been a part of creating or caused for the past 25 years honestly.  When you realize how the far right and center-right are vastly outnumbered it makes sense why they believe the media must be controlled, those who do not fear them must be taught a lesson, and those who refuse to play the game must be eliminated or delegitimized in some fashion.  The thing is it isn't just the far right who support the fascism, just as in 1930s Germany, they can't do it without "The Centrists".  And just like in the 1930s, no fascist entity gets anywhere without the backing of generational- wealth greed and power addicts.  Any sense of allowing the people to decide, no matter how flimsy it was to begin with, is gone.  The good thing is that ego is the enemy of intelligence, logic, and reason, so these people are some of the dumbest on the planet.  However, since they can do so much harm so quickly with the money/power they've stolen, that is also a very bad thing. As we've seen over the past several years, they'll continue to think they live in the Terminator, or Blade Runner, or whatever dystopian fictional future they see themselves as the overlord of in their excessive greed psychosis, while the rest of us strategize in reality with one another, even those we disagree with on a great many things.  That's the one thing we have going for us.  These people are some of the dumbest people to ever walk the earth, even compared to the earliest bipedal hominids.  They will continue to do the most obviously stupid and heinous shit out in the open, thinking it won't catch up to them.  We just have to make sure that it does.

 Good summary of things happening in India from Democracy Now!.

 

I watch Arun to find out what's happening in more detail (the India Education Minister just resigned), but I have to admit at times, the larger consequences go completely over my head because I think I'm missing decades of context and minutia regarding the history of the political parties. The people I work for are from Kerala, the most left-leaning part of the country. They've only ever talked about Indian politics in a general way.  They're more worried about this country coming for them, their children, and their grandchild for being brown than what's happening over there.  It's always good to learn more from different perspectives, because this is all tied to the same global struggle.  Especially if they start bringing that shit over here to harass Indians and Indian-Americans (or anyone from South Asia because you know the dumb fascists in this country don't know or care about the differences in the TWO BILLION people from the region, which is 6X the population of the US, btw).

I love that Democracy Now! is considered mainstream "leftist" journalism.  It is just the "the news", there is no other trustworthy, reliable and easily accessible major daily media outlet in the US.  I am old enough to remember when no one knew what it was or wanted to give it any respect if they did.  By just existing and doing what it's been doing for three decades, it makes the corporate and legacy media look like the National Enquirer and TMZ. There are plenty of opinion and analysis outlets, some of which I love.  But DN! is just straight up journalism.  I hope more people/outlets try a more structured live schedule. I think Drop Site is trying to start doing that. It's the only way we get the older gen Xers and the leftist Boomers, they need routine.  It's part of the reason why there are so many boomer libs in the Majority Report community. It's why the right was killing the left with internet-based media up until recently (and the, ya know, obvious bots/paid trolls). You have to wonder, where the fuck are the wealthy leftist investors in media?  You know there must a couple out there.  I don't mean a lib lying to themselves and everyone else, I mean a leftist that was born into money or something.  Why do we not have a real news round-the-clock-network out there that has integrity and doesn't give a shit about appeasing the neo-libs, only telling the ugly truth?  We don't need cable anymore.  What is the fucking hold up?

Edit 8/7 - seems apparently it was in response to my Kitboga post? I guess the "AI" scrapers didn't like my use of "clankers" or just posting their meltdowns.  Its just a j guys, just jokin' around, okay?  I am meatbag friend, I swear.

Welp.  The bots/crawlers are back, from what I gather it's because of what's going on in India?  Guys, I may know more about India's political turmoil than the average American, but that ain't saying much.  I just work for an Indian-American MD who's been here for more than 40 years, I don't know enough to comment on anything. Modi is a cunt, they have their own version of insane ethnofascist nazis, their own versions of ineffectual controlled opposition neo-libs, and everyone is tired of Modi's shit, the blatant fascism and corruption which literally includes badly stolen elections.  That's about it, pretty universal at this point, yeah?  So you guys can leave my blog alone, I ain't posting on shit that I don't have much knowledge about. 

Every time this happens they always scrape all of the almost 20 year old shit and barely touch the newer stuff.  I am happy to say that I am finally saving all my content (saved!), including the unpublished posts, which was what was really holding me back (like 1/4 of the 2300 posts are not published).  It has stuff that I know should have never been saved here, but I did for various reasons and was afraid of losing it.  Now I just have to finally settle on a title and buy the domain and I can be done with this piece of shit site.  Woooaaaooww, I'm excited! I've been working on all kinds of shit for it, although it will likely be pretty minimalist in style.  I can finally get rid of or at least hide all of the cringe posts that come up when these scrapes happen, especially the ones that I don't recognize at all and crap that makes no sense because the context, video, or article is missing.  It's actually crazy how much old stuff has been scrubbed from other mainstream "news" sites so links, videos, and images are dead.  Listen, I am not the 30 year old that started this thing, and I am annoyed at how sappy I got about the stupidest shit, and how much I was not doing well with loneliness, long before I was single. Look, we had a job to do with Obama, and hope was high, but belief that he was going to be anything other than what he was was surfaced and whether I wanted to admit it publicly or not, we all knew it. The bright side is now I am a pro at being sad and lonely!  I time the sobbing so my face/eyes have time to lose most of the puffiness before my kid comes home from work. I think she thinks I'm old and I just look like this now.  That is fine, I don't care anymore.  I mean, she'd technically be right. I should say, to be clear, I am still extremely sappy at times, which is part of the problem, just more discerning of what/who deserves it, especially publicly.

If you know people who changed or lost ground in their despair after the pandemic, and then again after 10/7, it's for the same reason.  Watching the entire world decide they don't give a shit about one another, and then demanding we can't either.  Saying we're the bad guy if we don't cheer on the deliberate mutilation and vaporization of children, torturing and sexual assault of teens, blowing apart apartment buildings, hospitals, TENTS of whole families, is my worst nightmare because it means we are completely lost, there is no stability, morality or social norms at all. The realization that all of the warnings of parallels with 1930s Germany, that we were not hyperbolic, even if you wanted it to be, was, is overwhelming at times.  I'll just say agoraphobia just easily washes over you during an American pandemic, even if you actively fight it. It's taken years to come back from that, even if I logically know I have no choice at this time. 

I want to incorporate the theme behind this thing into something new and better and get away from the 25 year old geocities type layout/format. I will probably do it a little at a time and the old stuff will take time, the new stuff will be priority.  I get that no one probably cares or that human eyes will probably never see any of this, but when I write it here I tend to keep myself more accountable to it.  

 I'll post before I take this thing down, but you're perfectly welcome to email me anytime if you're interested in what/where it'll be or have any suggestions. ----------------------------------------------->>>>>>

Kitboga Teaches How to Deal with Clanker Calls

I don't post enough funny shit anymore. Mostly 'cause this world doesn't rise up to the challenge it's facing.  This killed me.

 Kit is a cultural icon.

Always cracks me up when people say they're thinking of moving to WY or MT.  Quietly, I think, you must be white.  Regardless, good luck with that. 

**Trigger Warning - public animal abuse ** [I ALWAYS root for the bull/calf/horse to make it your last show, I don't care who the fuck you are, you sadistic weirdo.]

 WY is a microcosm, in many different ways, for what's been happening all over the country for decades now. WY has been heading this way for more than 20 years, it's just in it's final phase.  Same shit that's been happening in the Bay Area for the past 30 years, NYC for the past 40, LA since its inception, or at least since the 70s. This is a product of the scam economy=peak capitalism-=late stage capitalism, it's doing what it's designed to do.  When Bush I said "it's a A New World Order" after 10 years of Reagan/Atwaterism and the completion of the Evangelical/Capitalism/private-wealthy-hedonism-worship take over of the right, this is what he meant. And the former CIA director is supposedly considered a moderate compared to today's outwardly fascist, anti-democracy, anti-indigenous/human rights, worker/immigrant hating, pro slavery/Jim Crown/segregationist, pre-suffrage-loving right. Not saying he was, just that's what the controlled media need you to think is an acceptable point of view. This guy. 

Once they can buy anything they want, they want everything.  

General Strike. Now.

If you have something to say, say it now before it's too late.

I'm only sad Graham is dead because I really wanted him to be investigated and tried for war crimes and exposed for his personal hypocrisy before he died.  I had no idea he was only 71, he looked like such shit the past few years I assumed he must have been around Trump's age.  One day we'll be able to easily quantify how many deaths people like this bloodthirsty misanthrope are directly and indirectly responsible for. This dude will have an extremely high body count.  When you watch how the corporate media talks about ghouls like him, the capitulation and complacency to the orders of the oligarchy by those who call themselves journalists becomes crystal clear, even to the average selectively dumb lib.

“A Ticking Time Bomb”: Matt Kennard Exposes How Neo-Nazis Infiltrated the US Military from Palestinian Deep Dive

Buy Matt's book

If you're interested in this topic, and every last one of us should be, you should also follow what's going on with the Karen Read case and the Mass State Police's white supremacist problem (not at all surprising, we have that here in KY, too).  When I find a good recent video/article, I'll post.  I will vote for anyone who has a concrete plan to do a full investigation of white supremacist/KKK/Nazi organizations within law reinforcement and military in this country.

Oh my GERD, this started as a short blurb for the video because I think Drew Gooden is great at what he does. I don't know what happened. I can't read this anymore, so I'm posting.  Not sure if I'll keep it because I don't really know what it is. 

 

Drew Gooden provides my annual realization that Spotify is still a thing.  He is such a good egg.  Love everything about this video. I have no idea why anyone is still using that parasitic garbage service or propping up these kinds of destructive companies.  

This is where the "you can't stop/hinder capitalism by boycotting individual companies without organization, so it's pointless" shit drives me nuts. Sure, if you're of the mind that you're a one-man capitalism fighting machine, but that's not the point, nor the expected outcome. Brother, you're only saying that for selfish reasons (which is fine, some treats are fine, but be honest with yourself and others about it).  Your behavior as a consumer absolutely matters, if for no other reason than to show others that they have the power to say "no" to companies that are misanthropic and to emulate supporting and promoting ethical companies and owners/workers.  You might just inspire a corporate subverter or a person/collective who wants to try something different (like a co-op).  Socialism and communal ideas can catch like wildfire in the right conditions (like living under global fascism). That's why throughout my entire life, they have wanted social and economic punishment for even talking about it in a neutral or positive manner. You currently can't control where you get your water from, or in many places, what your ISP is (which is why all utilities should be nationalized), but you can control where you get your produce, dinner, and your shoes.  You consistently have a choice of whether you'll keep paying for meals at a restaurant you know doesn't pay well, is a union-buster, and treats it's workers like shit. Or supports/facilitates genocide and the dehumanization project. As workers, we often don't have much choice but to take what job is available to us or end up on the street and/or in jail (as a very legal slave).  As a consumer, especially AS A WORKER-consumer, you have a responsibility to be discerning about what you buy and promote.  Stop using brainwashed consumerism addiction and loyalty to the tools of the system as excuses to tune out ethics in order to pretend to not give a shit.  It's the same thing greed addicts do.  If we don't acknowledge it, we don't really have the freedom to have an honest conversation about it.  No one is pristine, making all of the perfect and agreeable ethical choices all of the time. Especially if you live in the West, it is next to impossible to only support/buy from ethical people/companies.  The point is doing what you can, at the very least, is better than trying to live honestly with or promoting doing nothing at all. 

Only thing I'll add is that art is just like every humanistic thing that Capitalism inevitably decimates, the industry is not broken. It has never not worked as intended.  It's why 95% of "pop" music everywhere in the western world is so bland, formulated, and soulless.  Always has been. This shit is nothing new. They're just still prospering because everyone who should be reporting on and regulating this shitty system ends up in their position precisely because they will never produce or do anything of consequence.  Once we created super-citizens in the form of corporations, the old/new money families who freely rape and pillage because of that status don't need us anymore.  They choose their representatives.  They just need some of us to show up and vote every two years to validate their openly corrupt sham system and to unquestioningly prop up their bottom of the barrel companies, services and modern day feudalism.  They then use that power and those companies to create a constant spectacle of working class infighting with an entire industry around it that swallows up all media.  Always recentering all things around voting and politics to give the illusion that something, anything, everything is happening solely because of how important elections and our faux American democracy are.  If you control the choices between Nazi, nazi, or Nazi/nazi sympathizer, you're still voting for a nazi, even if they're wearing a blue armband instead of a red one, and register under the "center/left party" rather than identifying as being on the right.  That's what happens when you let any old rich asshole use their illiterate media army to change the meanings of things, concepts, words, gestures, assaults,  murders, state sponsored terrorism, genocide etc.

It's all a part of the meat grinder. Technofascists hate art because it first teaches, then reminds them and everyone else of how soulless and sociopathic they and their products/services are.  They must be totally detached in order to steal all of the wealth and life-sustaining resources of the planet from 8 billion people and all other life on the planet. We know what terrible humans they are by the choices they make publicly, imagine the disgusting shit we don't know about, all of the social, civil, legal, ethical boundaries they crossed a long time ago. Without real push-back and economic consequences, it was inevitable that their delusions of grandeur would eventually have them longing to do it to other planets too. Unironically, their own "AI" grift is unintentionally exposing their eugenicist misanthropy on a much grander scale because they can't see how much they have completely exposed themselves with these schemes.  It's inevitable that this artificial bubble is eventually going to burst, so until then, they must contain the media we're exposed to in an attempt to soften the blow. To direct the growing anger in one direction, that isn't them.

Some say they're "evil", I favor "soulless," but really, we're saying the same thing. I just don't believe in predetermined "goodness" or "badness", in part because those social concepts are defined by humans as opposite poles of a spectrum that is based on a very narrow perspective and very little information in terms of universal knowledge. Our little monkey brains, who can't even hear or see as well as billions of other "lessor" beings on this planet, really don't know a whole lot to be feigning that we understand unseen objective polar opposites of the Universe in totality and then use it to determine whether groups or individuals deserve air, water, shelter or even life.  We don't even understand Dark Matter -- 27% of the known universe (as opposed to 5% ordinary matter, ie atoms) -- which we can actually detect.  It just isn't logical as the most informed among us are adjusting, re-defining, and discovering our basic laws of physics, while uneducated and selective dumbfucks are still insisting dinosaurs never existed, on Thanksgiving Day, even. They are the most driven amongst us to coerce others into parroting their insanely stupid beliefs by threatening to withhold your basic human rights if you don't.  

The technofascists and ethnofascists who proudly and undisputedly own and control most major outlets that claim to disseminate "verified" and "unbiased" information must repeatedly hit us over the head with how SmArT, just, and virtuous they are.  How lucky we should all feel for them to allow us to have things. Even though it's easy to learn there is absolutely no evidence to back those claims. The reason people listen to AI slop unironically is directly linked to the same people who need you to think people like Ford, Jobs, Gates, Zuckerburg, etc are just one-man operations developed in a basement/garage that shat out computer systems, conjured an ugly car out of thin air, or was divined a shitty society-collapsing app because they're so brilliant. That’s what they want to force upon us instead of the reality that ultimately tens, then hundreds, then thousands, then tens or hundreds of thousands of people contributed to defining and expanding that idea, worked to bring it to fruition, creating a company to sell a product that very, very, very few people will soak up any recognition and capital/profit from.  The workers and users are deliberately detached from their own contributions and experiences, human interaction and social/ethical norms at home, on their phones, and at work.  We're supposed to be grateful to walk on the same planet with these extremely unique specimens, when they're just they're just adept criminals with the willingness to do whatever it takes to feed their collective greed addiction and the means to do it.  Breaking laws, bending and breaking societal/ethical norms, facilitating misinformation astroturf campaigns, deliberately flooding information systems with lies and disinformation, buying millions of bots and trolls to inflate numbers against unpopular ideas, stealing large sums of money under a system ran by criminals and carpetbaggers is just OP.  It doesn't make them smart, just ruthless and misanthropic, which has also always been OP since the dawn of time.

Making us vulnerable to believing what they want need us to starts with little (conditioning) lies like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and Disney princesses. Mom and dad, grammy and pop-pop, county chapter treasurer for the KKK great-great granddad and pro-patriarchy, self-hating busybody great-great-granny knows best.  Everything your parents do is for you and you're the most precious perfect chosen person, handcrafted down the particle by your god.  The foundation of sex binarism at birth and the accompanying socially coveted gender reveals, pink vs. blue, patriarchal vs matriarchal, us vs them mindsets intentionally leave out a whole lot of people and biological nature, and make the world unnaturally adversarial to a child before they're even born. Conveniently, this mentality innately evolves into red vs blue, whether it be the Cards vs the Cats, Coke vs Pepsi, or Dems vs Republicans. Our capitalist politico-economic system relies upon this winner vs loser dichotomy-dependent brainwashing. 

The capitalist system is sustained with enforced brand worship and leisure-time religions like the NCAA/NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL/FIFA/NASCAR. If you aren't into sports, you'll always have the old-Hollywood-style 24 hour, Next Door feeding "News" cycle of whining, false/malicious grievances, gossip, slander, defamation, calculated targeting, stochastic and state/corporate sponsored terrorism. Out of all of that comes required dogma proselytized to provide cover for abusive/corrupt family/religious/community members and leaders, as long as they've been proven the be "not one of them".  At that point, training to become a professional and proud propagandist hypocrite with squishy, ever-changing boundaries and morals is complete.  Next you just have to cut out all of the logical, reasonable, and caring people that are left in your life, like any good cultist does.  Now no one can stop you from becoming a billionaire.  

Throughout history, the transformation into a professional misanthropic tool always ends with trying to stave off the predators we feed by sacrificing the most vulnerable among us out fear and selfishness, disguised as necessity and freedom. You find yourself voluntarily throwing your hard-earned money back to your masters, might as well save them the trouble, since they'll just steal the rest anyway. Embracing the worshiping of a geriatric rapist-grifter as your apocalyptic, self-fulfilling prophet, while he eyes your 14 year old daughter. Or son. You start to reason that it was your idea to cheer on or demand the imprisonment, state/corporate sponsored murder, torture, ethnic cleansing and eventually genocide of other oppressed people who you've been told are your enemies as soon as you could speak.  All the while, you've been made to wholeheartedly believe that if you deserve your own level of enslavement, punishment, and misery, so too does everyone else who is "below" you.  It's all according to the system you live by, and it is the only way to live unless you want to spend eternity sucking some version of a lava filled demon/devil dick.  You're fine with going back to a time when racists could be overtly racist because you perceive you have the right combination of phenotype expression that ensures will always be in charge, as you mainline the fear that you won't and then your "enemies" will act like you. What you're conditioned to forget is that we're all oppressed by the same people.  Like, for hundreds, if not thousands of years.  

The 1950s that they long for are when there were millions of children, parents, grandparents, and extended family, whole communities, with trauma and PTSD after WWI, the depression, and WWII who were forced to tough it out without being able to talk about their private hell or risk going to the "nuthouse", being dispossessed and ostracized.  This was the heyday of major "job-creating" corporations freely and knowingly taking advantage of and poisoning their employees, citizens, and/or air and water supply of surrounding towns with the complicity of local, state, and federal government. They created a cancer epidemic in some of the poorest parts of the nation that still exists today.  They never had to fucking pay for it, so it's still happening in new oppressed towns (see East Palestine, Ohio, Flint, MI, the entire state of OK).  That's what they want to get back to and make even more efficient at creating more profit at any cost.  To do that they must get rid of regulations and unions, to remove our rights as consumers and workers without putting themselves at risk. This means they must contain, direct and control class struggle, not end it. It's just that the majority will never be ok with criminals defining and unevenly doling out inverted justice for those they choose to oppress. Instead, they define who the criminals are, lionize certain professions and positions that enforce the status quo, criminalize those who challenge it. Never forget, in 2026 everyone has the power to learn what they believe is based in capitalist propaganda and not provable facts.  The problem is when they've been indoctrinated to believe that they must be a "winner" above all else, it's easy to justify dominating others in the name of Capitalist Nationalism or religious fundamentalism, so they don't have to care about truth or facts (nationalism is founded in lies and selective half-truths).  On the contrary, evidence or witnesses, scientists, analysts, or anyone who disagrees with their version of events needs to be discredited or disposed of in some manner.

Without the deliberate distractions, myths, and lies we tell ourselves, or more accurately, that are shoved into our brains from birth, we'd eventually have to actually look into the meatgrinder as we're pushed toward and then through it.  We might ask why are we the ones in the butchering line at all when we're literally 99.9999% of the world's human population?  Which begs the question, since we know their bullshit "AI" is deliberately programmed with bias and an agenda (@grok is this true?), what do you think those catchy AI generated songs are allowed to convey as we live in a society of ad overload, forced and uninformed/limited choices?  Where monochromatic out-of-touch billionaire con artists have convinced themselves they keep the earth turning, they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, because after all, it all belongs to them, including us.  I'm sure their AI songs and content are all about helping one another, the perilous fallout of greed addiction, subversion, and questioning authoritarianism.

 

"Every US counterterrorism law traces back to dissent on Palestine" | Drop Site's Scahill & Kouddous

 

In today's saying the quiet part out loud.

I know I've said it here before, but we would be absolutely fucked without professional journalist outlets like Drop Site.  I would give up 1000 Hasans or Jennifers (Piker/Welch - both of whom I love on varying levels, depending on the day) for just 100 more news outlets like Drop Site.  We literally cannot do this without brave journalists with ethics, integrity and legitimate access, as well as the balls to ask questions that might get them kicked out of the room. 

I loved this game so much. The OST is absolutely amazing.  I still remembered most of it in spite of not hearing it for probably at least 35 years. So good. 

I was lucky (I guess?) to have a recently divorced and remarried dad who was irresponsible with his inheritance money. I didn't know anyone else with a Nintendo (PowerPad, bra), old Atari (both at mom's), and a Sega Master system (at dad's).  Hell, don't think I knew anyone with a Sega at all (this was pre-Genesis). I remember playing this with the whole family happily watching in the living room on his boxy floor console  flat screen tv. It was easily one of my favorite things to do along with watching the Cats and gratuitously violent action movies (sometimes with my dad) or horror at 1AM. Probably my first speed-running game as I think dad bought the Sega before mom bought my Nintendo/Mario.

 

Making a visual collage of all of my favorite childhood games, some of the inspirations so far.  I started collecting the covers and realized, ho-ly shit, there are like 30-40 of them. And those are just my favorites.  I thought there would be like 10-15.  I guess if you start playing at like 4 yrs old, on multiple platforms and mediums they add up quickly, especially if you add in Arcade games (which I played a lot). I haven't even got to the mid-late 90s yet - I just realized these are just like the first 10 years of gaming and I'm still adding them.

 [FUCK.  I just noticed (on 7/18) that I am missing a whole lot more game covers that I pulled, but saved over with an old copy.  I thought it was only a couple.  Now I have decide if I care enough to put them all back on here or now.

EXPOSED: Leaked Tapes REVEAL How SECRET Israeli Money & Trump Freed a Drug Dealing President

 

Need more angry law nerds. Using the law to catch and expose the murderers, thieves and con artists stealing from the poor is necessary and hot (I'm a law nerd, don't judge me).   

Also, good luck with getting corrupt politicians to stop the gravy train that feeds them.  Republicans/ maga, KKK, nazis, Zionists, ethnofascists, whatever they want to call themselves, are whiny grifters and quivering cowards who use individual backwards beliefs strategically tied to religion as a crutch and a shield to hoard as much money, land, resources and power as they can to lord over others before the ride ends, and the women march to DC with their axes, scythes, and sickles*.  Democrats, holding hands with their friends across the aisle as they break the law, still publicly waffle on prosecuting war crimes and white collar criminals because privately, if given the chance under the "right" circumstances, they'll be one, too.  Or already are.  Their main concern that keeps them up at night is just really, really needing you to think they're not a bad person.  I'll never fall for that shit again.  The anger here is great, it's just far too late for the law to catch up to.  We had 4 years to prepare for this firestorm, but the self-centered and lazy democrats decided to throw dry thatch on the floor to cover the blood, piss, shit and cum left behind instead of cleaning it up and funding the fire department, while blaming the burning people who told them preventing it was their ONE fucking job to do.

Put ALL of the war criminals, profiteers, and white collar criminals in jail, at least try them in a court of law.  "But that would probably mean every living current and former administration in the US and UK and includes probably millions of people all over the globe??!!"  Yes, yes it does. Try the rest posthumously.  We can start at 1948. Or 1907. Or 1864. I don't give a shit.  What is it you think they want to do to us now, even if we're law abiding citizens, who simply refuse go along with and funding their rape and pillaging? I think that en masse they'll probably settle with putting us in jail or shipping us off to some black site that thinks it's still an independent country, but I don't think that is their first choice. I think they want to be reassured they'll never deal with us again.  Never forget, Palestine was/is a testing ground, that train won't stop until WE stop it. These people aren't just going to give up their grifts because it's illegal or out in the open.  It's not just people in the streets, it's lawyers and judges in the court, it's the actual journalists 24/7 on their beat.  

Get it together and start listening to (actual) leftists** in your life who haven't given up on you yet even though they have probably never been wrong about a single thing you've called them a dumbass or radical for.  

*Which was not spontaneous, by the way, it was organized. The lesson isn't that revolution can't be organized, it's that it MUST be organic and not be a day planner appt co-opted by those who stand to benefit either way.  Just be mindful of who is doing the speaking for you and doing the organizing, how and why. 

**not liberals, liberals cannot be leftist. That is an oxymoron.  That would mean they'd have to stand for pesky things like universal human rights, which they are fundamentally against as capitalists.

 More Perfect Union - We Uncovered The Secret Schemes Hidden In The Epstein Emails 

 There is a wonderful thing happening in Boards of Canada world.  I hope 4/20 is the day [AGAIN].  I also hope there aren't mass suicides of those who were holding out until after this album drops, 'cause if we know anything about the Sandison brothers, they're going to give us what we need and what we deserve.  Realism and hope in the face of despair, always.

 

At this time, all I can say is:

Create.  Organize. Know who your people are. Stay alert.  Stay informed.  Don't ignore or get caught up in destructive personal shit or matters that have nothing to do with you. Question and hold your people accountable. Question and hold yourself accountable first.  Don't be beyond reproach. Ask yourself: Am I helping or hindering? If you're not helping, stay the fuck out of it, and find an appropriate way to help.  Contrarians are only useful if they're knowledgeable and wise, aware when they've lost an argument and adjust in a dignified way.  They're not useful just because someone decided they are good at arguing. In fact, giving too much credit and attention to idiots, or the uh, misguided (I'm trying, man), who simply use debating as a way to elevate themselves by oppressing others can be dangerous to a movement or org if they have an ounce of charisma.  Don't waste a lot of your time on those pretending to give a shit just to make themselves feel relevant.  Just keep in mind, you may not have the particular set of tools needed for that particular person, but most people can be persuaded or pushed in the right direction with unimpeachable facts, logic, and appealing to reason. Offer new or refreshed ideas and possibilities.  And love and understanding, which take many forms.  

Remember, this is not about short-term gratification or satisfaction, it is all to save us from ourselves in the long-term out of necessity, not only because it's right and just.  We have no rights without human rights.

Be grateful for and engage with art in the worst and most oppressive of times.  Be thankful BoC has not given up either.  Don't feel guilty that (dark) whimsy, is still enjoyable.  Necessary, even.  

Which is probably why I've spent the last 4-5 months finally getting back to Korean Movies and television after about 6 years.  Korean culture is filled with wonderful dark whimsy which is why their content so addictive.

I will add the Discord servers once I can get back into my fucking account and check out the community. I left FB and am barely on IG, and I won't vouch for a community if I don't know anything about them (there are lots of great/useful entities who have communities filled with professional pickmes and shitheads).  I love this band immensely, but I don't think I'd be considered a Boardhead or whatever they call themselves.  If they call themselves anything at all.  Nothing has made that more clear than the events of the last two weeks.  No disrespect intended at all, I just have no idea what the fuck they're casually talking about on the Reddit most of the time, but it's fun to read (mostly).

The Israel Footage the Media is TOO SCARED to Show You 

From Double-Down News and Empire Files

We already have cameras in our phones and laptops in our homes, cars and public spaces. I don't understand why you would ever voluntarily put up more surveillance devices in and around your home, your fucking "safe space" and then give access to external parties that have every reason to use it for profit and control.  That is insane to me. 

 "I say that like those are three different things."
