…and so the Top Priest Meets with VD Vance, Syphilis Rubio and then there is the Piano Man and His Penis Zelensky getting lubed by Hillbilly Eulogist

This is the world of the western fucking psychotic, and there are no fucking leaders who would dare say —

“What the fuck are we doing? For the Bankers, again, Gen. Smedley Butler, War is the Racket, gave you nothing? Burning Chinese alive, once again? Murdering babies and familes, once again, America? What fucking sort of human stain is this fucking American, Democrat or Republican, both the stains of the earth? This is unacceptable, and every fucking idiot in uniform, stand the fuck down. You fucked up drone operators and frucked up Top Gun cunts, you all need to be put to sleep while out driving your Corvetes and drinking mojitos. What sort of country is this, this Genocidal Country, now preparing to invade and bomb and brutalize Chinese? Stand down you fucking cunts, you Trump Goy and Jews, and all you inbred Christian sluts and pricks, all of you, stand down. You are okay with bleeding babies? Popping pregnant women’s bellies with missile fragments? You okay with the depleted uranium and the white clouds of phosphorus? This is it for our fucking Country?”

“If we go to war with China, it’s going to be bloody and there’s going to be casualties and it’s going to take plenty of munitions,” Kilby said. “So our stocks need to be full.” [US prepares for long war with China that might hit its bases, homeland: Peter Apps]

Oh, that fucking mouse of a man, the Chicago Freak.

The meeting came one month after the vice president met with Pope Francis, who had once questioned President Donald Trump’s Christianity and said Vance had wrongly interpreted a medieval Catholic concept to defend the administration’s immigration crackdown. A day after the meeting, the first Latin American pope died.

Now, U.S. officials see an opportunity to strengthen relations with Leo, the first pontiff from the United States, whose focus on ending the world’s most destructive conflicts dovetails with the vision Trump laid out for himself as “peacemaker” during last week’s visit to the Middle East.

[The Dumb Goy Cleric and his Fascination with Penises — Zelensky signed into law a bill banning religious groups with ties to Russia Saturday, Ukraine’s Independence Day. The bill’s main target is the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) which has historically been linked to the Russian Orthodox Church, also known as the Moscow Patriarchate.]

At Mass during his inauguration Sunday, Leo called for peace in three war-torn regions: Gaza, where “the surviving children, families, older people are reduced to hunger”; Myanmar, where unrest has “cut short innocent young lives”; and Ukraine, which “awaits negotiations for a fair and lasting peace.”

Pope Francis condemns Ukraine’s ban on Russian Orthodox Church

‘Churches are not to be touched!’ Pope Francis said after Ukraine approved a law banning churches tied to Russia.

Oh, the UnUnited Snake$ of AmeriKKKa produces the worst kind of humanity, yet another example in the Gutless Pope of Chicago. ANother fellow shit face Chicagoan? Hillary Diane Rodham was born on October 26, 1947, at Edgewater Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. She was raised in a Methodist family who first lived in Chicago.

Did you watch, Ukraine Under Fire? “It is very informative … it ties CIA to Ukraine / Maidan protests .. basically a play book to how these things played out similarly in other countries too. 2014 was the start of all of this.”

Oh, that fucking Jewish Peace Maker.

According to this Nouvel Observateur (1998) interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski, the CIA’s intervention in Afghanistan preceded the 1979 entry of Soviet troops.

To label this as The Soviet Afghan War is a misnomer. Confirmed by Brzezinski, It is best described as the “U.S.-Al Qaeda War against Afghanistan”. The US started this war against The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, with a view to destroying a secular nation state committed to women’s rights and universal public education.

The planning of this war involving the recruitment of so-called. “freedom fighters” (good guy mercenaries) was marked by the active recruitment of Al Qaeda (The Base), namely terrorists acting covertly on behalf of the United States. This included Osama Bin Laden who had been recruited by the CIA.

The first war in 1979-1980 was described as a “Covert Action Support to the Afghan Resistance “ (NSDD 166, see Declassified below) which consisted in funding and supporting the recruitment of Al Qaeda “freedom fighters”.

22 years later a Second War entitled US-NATO War against Afghanistan was undertaken:

On September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda, under the leadership of Osama bin Laden allegedly attacked the WTC and the Pentagon with endorsement of Afghanistan

It was “a pretty good idea”, says Hillary, and it remains a good idea today.

In the course of the last 45 years since the since the onslaught of the so-called Soviet-Afghan War, the US has not ceased to support and finance Al Qaeda as a means to destabilizing and impoverishing sovereign countries.

“Let’s remember here… the people we are fighting today we funded them twenty years ago… and we did it because we were locked in a struggle with the Soviet Union.

“They invaded Afghanistan… and we did not want to see them control Central Asia and we went to work… and it was President Reagan in partnership with Congress led by Democrats who said you know what it sounds like a pretty good idea… let’s deal with the ISI and the Pakistan military and let’s go recruit these mujahideen.

“And great, let them come from Saudi Arabia and other countries, importing their Wahabi brand of Islam so that we can go beat the Soviet Union.

“And guess what … they (Soviets) retreated … they lost billions of dollars and it led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

“So there is a very strong argument which is… it wasn’t a bad investment in terms of Soviet Union but let’s be careful with what we sow… because we will harvest.

“So we then left Pakistan … We said okay fine you deal with the Stingers that we left all over your country… you deal with the mines that are along the border and… by the way we don’t want to have anything to do with you… in fact we’re sanctioning you… So we stopped dealing with the Pakistani military and with ISI and we now are making up for a lot of lost time.” (HILLARY CLINTON)

President Ronald Reagan issued (and signed) the National Security Decision Directive 166 (NSDD 166), which de facto authorized “stepped-up covert military aid to the Mujahideen” as well as CIA support to religious indoctrination.

Oh, that fucking Pope and his Penis ENvy Turds:

In order to conquer and seize Gaza, “We need to do it in a way” where the world “won’t stop us,” Netanyahu says.

What? “The horrors of Israel’s genocide oblige nonconformist Jews to honestly examine widely-held Jewish beliefs. There is no escaping that calling.”

Zionism and the disgraceful, despicable, barbaric, and stupid behavior of the Jewish collective in the last 18 months have erected immense walls between Jews and humanity. We have to dig underneath them.

Another deluded Jew:

Reality: The Zionist Genocide Against Palestinians Began in the 1880s—Not in 1947, and Not in 2023

[Jerusalem, Palestine c.1880’s]

The Zionist movement, from its very inception in the 1880s, was built on the logic of settler-colonial elimination, aimed at displacing, fragmenting, and erasing Palestine’s Indigenous people. From the earliest waves of Zionist immigration, Palestinian communities faced land theft, forced removals, militarized repression, and exclusion from economic and political life. By the time Israel was officially established in 1948, the genocidal framework was already well in motion, with decades of systematic violence preceding formal statehood. Zionist leaders and military strategists had long envisioned a Palestine without Palestinians, and the Nakba was simply one of the most intense and visible phases of that ongoing process.

Netanyahu claimed that international pressure, including from pro-Israel Republican senators and the White House, required the appearance of humanitarian intervention. “Our best friends in the world—senators I know as strong supporters of Israel—have warned that they cannot support us if images of mass starvation emerge,” he said.

“They come to me and say, ‘We’ll give you all the help you need to win the war… but we can’t be receiving pictures of famine,’” Netanyahu added. To continue the war of annihilation, he asserted, “We need to do it in a way that they won’t stop us.”

The Jew Kissinger is still setting policy from his sewer, or grave:

Marco Rubio is one of just two people in US history who have simultaneously served as both secretary of state and national security advisor. The other was Henry Kissinger, a notorious war criminal.

Kissinger helped oversee the normalization of relations between the US and China. In 1971, he took a secret trip to Beijing, where he set the stage for the historic trip the following year by President Richard Nixon.

At that time, Washington saw an opportunity to take advantage of the Sino-Soviet split. It essentially allied with Beijing against Moscow.

Five decades later, the Trump administration has sought to invert this “triangular diplomacy”, hoping to “partner” with Moscow against Beijing.

Analysts have often referred to this strategy as a “reverse Kissinger”, but in reality Kissinger himself had advocated the idea from the very beginning.

In a meeting with Nixon in 1972, just a week before the US president visited China, Kissinger clearly stated that Washington was playing a cynical “balance of power game”. He argued that, in the future, the US would likely “wind up leaning towards the Russians against the Chinese”.

Kissinger told Nixon the following, according to a transcript of the February 14, 1972 meeting published by the State Department’s Office of the Historian:

I think, in a historical period, they [the Chinese] are more formidable than the Russians. And I think in 20 years your successor, if he’s as wise as you, will wind up leaning towards the Russians against the Chinese. For the next 15 years we have to lean towards the Chinese against the Russians. We have to play this balance of power game totally unemotionally. Right now, we need the Chinese to correct the Russians and to discipline the Russians.

Why Palmer Luckey thinks AI-powered, autonomous weapons are the future of warfare

By now, we’ve all heard about Elon Musk’s efforts to reshape the U.S. government.

But tonight, we’ll introduce you to another tech billionaire, one who’s set his sights on radically changing the way the Pentagon buys and uses weapons.

His name is Palmer Luckey and he’s the founder of Anduril, a California defense products company.

Luckey says for too long, the U.S. military has relied on overpriced and outdated technology. He argues a Tesla has better AI than any U.S. aircraft and a Roomba vacuum has better autonomy than most of the Pentagon’s weapons systems.

So Anduril is making a line of autonomous weapons that operate using artificial intelligence. No human required.

And SARS-CoV2 was a naturally occurring virus (haha… wink wink wink)

The team recommends that future studies build on the HARE5 findings by examining how this enhancer interacts with the roughly 3,000 other HARs in the human genome. After making progress in understanding one piece of the puzzle, the researchers see the next logical step as figuring out how all the components work together.

“There are many, many different mechanisms that are critical to making the human brain what it is,” said co-author Debra Silver.

Money money money for the people, for the medical care, for the housing, for food security, for clean air and water . . . hahaha … wink wink wink.

“What I do for the crown prince,” Trump said as he made eye contact with bin Salman. “The sanctions were brutal and crippling and served as an important, really, an important function nevertheless at the time, but now it’s their time to shine. It’s their time to shine.”

Syrians wave Saudi and Syrian flags in celebration after President Donald Trump announced plans during his visit to Saudi Arabia to ease sanctions on Syria and normalize relations with its new government, in Homs, Syria, on May 13.

Factory of LIES:

Rubio said this week, however, that the al-Sharaa government had suggested they are committed to the principles outlined by the international community – inclusive government, peace with their neighbors including Israel, and driving out terrorists. He also said that Syria would make efforts to rid the country of chemical weapons with assistance from the US.

But Rubio also cautioned that driving towards a normalized relationship with the al-Sharaa government would not happen overnight.

“This is a new relationship. We’ve now known each other and known them for 24 hours,” Rubio told reporters. “Obviously, we want to see progress made, and we’ll take every step that they take, and it’ll be a long road, because it’s been a long time, so we recognize that, but this is a historic opportunity, and if it succeeds, we have a dramatic transformative effect on the region,” he said.

Earlier this month, US Air Force Brigadier General Doug Wickert summoned nearby civic leaders to Edwards Air Force Base in California to warn them that if China attacks Taiwan in the coming years, they should be prepared for their immediate region to suffer potentially massive disruption from the very start.

In a remarkable briefing shared by the base on social media and promoted in a press release, Wickert – one of America’s most experienced test pilots, now commanding the 412th Test Wing – outlined China’s rapid military growth and preparations to fight a major war.

Cutting-edge US aircraft manufactured in California’s nearby “Aerospace Valley”, particularly the B-21 “Raider” now replacing the 1990s B-2 stealth bomber, were key to keeping Beijing deterred, he said. However, if deterrence failed, that meant China would likely strike the US, including nearby Northrop Grumman factories where those planes were built.

“If this war happens, it’s going to happen here,” Wickert told them, suggesting attacks could include a cyber offensive that included long-term disruption to power supplies and other national infrastructure. “It’s going to come to us. That is why we are having this conversation… The more ready we are, the more likely to change Chairman Xi’s calculus.”

Comey, another fine fucking White Male Bitch

But first, Ralph Nader and his fucking love of Jews. This fucking IOF cocksucker should be locked up and serving Palestinians steak and egg the rest of his life, or just taken out back and shot. But old Ralph, here we go.

Ralph Nader Radio Hour

Breaking The Silence

We spend the whole program with Nadav Wieman, a former IDF sniper and now executive director of Breaking the Silence, an organization of Israeli veterans who expose the reality of life in the Occupied Territories and work to end the occupation. He and Ralph discuss Nadav’s experience in the IDF and his work trying to turn the tide of sentiment in Israel…

What the fuck? The initial meaning as a verb, 86-ed/eighty-sied was “to refuse to serve a customer,” and later took on the slightly extended meaning of “to get rid of; to throw out.” The word was especially used in reference to refusing further bar service to inebriates.

Then this fucking Sub-Jew-Stack! Comey’s “86 47” Post Gets Terrorwashed: When did everything become terrorism? Ken Klippenstein

“Hey @Comey we’re in the business of Counterterrorism,” he said on X. “You committed a crime by threatening President @realDonaldTrump’s life.”

Other top national security officials responded similarly, including:

  • Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence: “It’s a veiled call to action to murder the sitting President of the United States … I’m very concerned for his life and James Comey, in my view, should be held accountable and be put behind bars for this.”
  • Kash Patel, FBI Director: “We are aware of the recent social media post by former FBI Director James Comey, directed at President Trump. We are in communication with the Secret Service and Director Curran. Primary jurisdiction is with SS on these matters and we, the FBI, will provide all necessary support.
  • Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security: “Today, federal agents from @SecretService interviewed disgraced former FBI Director Comey regarding a social media post calling for the assassination of President Trump. I will continue to take all measures necessary to ensure the protection of @POTUS Trump. This is an ongoing investigation.”

Just when I thought this couldn’t get any dumber, anti-Trump commentator Brian Krassenstein texted me that his brother, Ed (also an anti-Trump commentator), had received a visit from the Secret Service for his mocking posts of the “86 47” number.

[Jews: The Krassensteins were born and raised in a Jewish household[4] in Somers Point, New Jersey. They graduated from Mainland Regional High School in 2000. According to Brian, they launched their first business at the age of 15, selling baseball cards on the internet, before moving onto running Internet forums in the early 2000s.[5][6] In college, they started a business running online communities addressing topics such as video games, automobiles, and investing.]

“The agent said that they were sent from Washington and basically couldn’t believe that he had to come,” Brian told me.

I couldn’t believe it, either. The Krassensteins, for those not familiar, are dad-joke-generators whose political material is offensive only in its cringeyness (a representative example: the anti-Trump book they co-authored, titled “How the People Trumped Ronald Plump”). Their getting a visit by the Secret Service seemed so beyond comprehension that I asked if they had any video evidence of the visit. Brian sent me a video showing a Secret Service agent flashing a badge in front of his brother’s house.

Fucking dumb Jews, man: I have been 86-ed from a bar for playing pool too loudly, and even a fucking comedy club, again, 86-ed for laughing too lougly. I’ve been 86-ed out of city and county hearings, and alas, I have been 86-ed from many “jobs,” including substitute teaching.

Comey promptly removed the post, disavowing violence of any kind.

It is a queer country, and alas, anything coming from the Democrats’ and Repulicans’ mouths is pure Joe McCarthy and Scarlet Letter HandMaid stuff.

86-ed, Ken:

According to Merriam-Webster, the origin of the term 86 began as a slang term that meant something was sold out at soda bars in the 1930’s. This term was thought to have come from the rhyming slang term “nix”, which is to cancel something.

During the Prohibition Era, a speakeasy called Chumley’s bar was located at 86 Bedford Street, Greenwich Village, New York City. Police showed up at the hidden bar to shut it down, and apparently told patrons to “86” (leave) the area by using the secret back door that led to 86th Bedford Street. Which was different from the main entrance that police would use on Barrow Street.

Other possible origins of where the term 86 comes from is also tied to bars and alcohol. Prior to the 1980s, whiskey was available as 100 of 86 proof. When patrons drank too much of the 100-proof whiskey, they would become belligerent, and the bartender would have to “86” them, meaning they would have to switch to 86-proof liquor or leave the bar if they were unruly.

When we have fucking big ass murder incorporated corporations getting away with mass murder:

Round-Up Ready ALS. The makers and the PR firms and lawyers and the chemists, the lot of them put them in the dock and harvest what’s left of their humanity — corneas, liver, kidneys, skin.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease involving several protein mutations in glycine-rich regions with limited treatment options. 90-95% of all cases are non-familial with epidemiological studies showing a significant increased risk in glyphosate-exposed workers. In this paper, we propose that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup®, plays a role in ALS, mainly through mistakenly substituting for glycine during protein synthesis, disruption of mineral homeostasis as well as setting up a state of dysbiosis. Mouse models of ALS reveal a pre-symptomatic profile of gut dysbiosis. This dysbiotic state initiate a cascade of events initially impairing metabolism in the gut, and, ultimately, through a series of intermediate stages, leading to motor neuron axonal damage seen in ALS. Lipopolysaccharide, a toxic by-product of dysbiosis which contributes to the pathology, is shown to be statistically higher in ALS patients. In this paper we paint a compelling view of how glyphosate exerts its deleterious effects, including mitochondrial stress and oxidative damage through glycine substitution. Furthermore, its mineral chelation properties disrupt manganese, copper and zinc balance, and it induces glutamate toxicity in the synapse, which results in a die-back phenomenon in axons of motor neurons supplying the damaged skeletal muscles.

A whole lot of Deep Sixing that needs to be going on:

deep six(n.)

“place where something is discarded,” by 1921 (in phrase give (something) the deep six), originally in motorboating slang, perhaps from earlier underworld noun sense of “the grave” (1929), which is perhaps a reference to the usual grave depth of six feet. But the phrase (in common with mark twain) also figured in sailing jargon, of sounding, for a measure of six fathoms:

As the water deepened under her keel the boyish voice rang out from the chains: “By the mark five—and a quarter less six—by the deep six—and a half seven—by the deep eight—and a quarter eight.” [“Learning the Road to Sea,” in Outing magazine, February 1918]

In general use by 1940s. As a verb from 1953.

She was wearing a blue bulletproof vest that was clearly marked “PRESS.”

Whores. Fucking Whore Mayors.

In this screenshot from video, workers at PDX Saints Love Day Center serve a warm meal to visitors.


Just over a year ago, then-mayoral candidate Keith Wilson held a ribbon-cutting ceremony outside a former church in Southeast Portland that had been converted into a day center for homeless residents. The center, run by small nonprofit PDX Saints Love, was pitched by Wilson as a “critical bridge” between homelessness and permanent housing, offering employment assistance, showers, warm meals, connections to health programs, housing referrals, and community events.

For candidate Wilson, PDX Saints Love was a model for how he hoped to address the city’s homelessness crisis if elected.

Now, four months into Wilson’s mayoral term, the day center — which an estimated 1,800 people currently rely on — is set to close. Kristle Delihanty, director of PDX Saints Love, said without city funding she has no other choice.

“Our work was leveraged as part of [Wilson’s] campaign platform, and our budget was solicited under the assumption that this work would continue,” wrote Delihanty in a May 14 letter to the Portland City Council and Wilson expressing her frustration.

Jews or their fucking followers, Christian Cunts: State Superintendent Ryan Walters says Oklahoma public school classrooms will receive Bibles this fall, even though lawmakers declined to fund the initiative in the proposed 2026 state budget.

Walters originally requested approximately $3 million to provide Bibles for schools, but the legislature did not allocate the funds. Despite that, he says the plan is moving forward.

“We’ve already been exhausting multiple avenues to do that,” Walters said. “We’re going to make sure that Oklahoma children understand the role the Bible played in American history, and that will happen this fall.”

While OpenAI’s first Stargate campus in the U.S. — already under development in Abilene, Texas — is expected to reach 1.2 gigawatts, this Middle Eastern counterpart would more than quadruple that capacity.

The project is emerging amid broader AI ties between the U.S. and UAE that have been years in the making, and have made some lawmakers nervous.

OpenAI’s relationship with the UAE dates back to a 2023 partnership with G42 aimed at driving AI adoption in the Middle East. During a talk earlier that same year in Abu Dhabi, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman praised the UAE, saying it “has been talking about AI since before it was cool.”

Lexi Alexander: When you know about Palestine, or you are Palestinian, you are very sensitive to something like the scene with the four boys. People do not know Arabs as anything other than oil sheiks who have harems, or as terrorists, or in the rare “woke” cases, people who get to help the CIA. That’s why, in the real world, it’s so easy to kill four boys from the same family playing soccer or a young nurse who’s helping someone [during the Great March of Return protests in Gaza]. This is how entertainment shapes our minds. That scene where Wonder Woman saves the boys—I can’t guarantee that nobody made the connection. But my guess is Gal Gadot probably wouldn’t purposefully say, “Let’s start some shit.” I don’t think [writer and director] Patty Jenkins knows about these boys at all. To me, that’s more offensive, the fact that nobody knows what happens in Palestine.

They didn’t sit in a room together and say, “How can we upset Palestinians the most?” On the contrary, the conversation is often more like, “How can we write something that [for example] Black people really like?” and then it goes in the complete opposite direction. Take Green Book [the 2018 film about a Black musician’s white chauffeur]. Many of my Hollywood friends said, “Look, this is going to be a great movie that everybody will like.” Immediately, the trailer comes out and I see all of Black Twitter explode [the film generated controversy over its historical inaccuracy and white savior narrative]. But a lot of powerful people in Hollywood think they are very woke.

When you only have those people in charge of telling stories, they just keep nurturing this racism and these misunderstandings. They think: If we have this Black man chauffeured around, that’ll win us an Oscar. And then they do win an Oscar, while all of Black America is upset. That’s Hollywood.

There was a time when certain production companies made movies that specifically dehumanized Arabs in order to justify invasions in the Arab world. If you don’t make them human, then who cares? But I don’t think that’s what happened with Wonder Woman. I think they probably thought they’d be getting great press: “Look how nice and friendly she is to Arabs.”

According to biblical chronology, Joshua lived some time in the Bronze Age. According to Joshua 24:29 Joshua died at the age of 110)

A Los Angeles federal judge has ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s decision not to provide Endangered Species Act protections for the imperiled Joshua tree is unlawful, according to court papers obtained on Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Wesley L. Hsu ruled Monday that the USFWS decision to not provide ESA protections for the Joshua tree is illegal and sidesteps climate science.

The Cahuilla people called it “humwichawa” or “hunuvat chiy’a”. The Southern Paiute called it “sovarampi,” and the Western Shoshone called it “umpu”

Cunt Mormons: In the mid-19th century, Mormon settlers gave the tree its common name, believing its outstretched branches resembled the biblical Joshua guiding them westward. However, historical records offer little evidence for this tale. Some theories suggest that pioneers saw the tree as a symbol of Joshua’s military leadership, its sharp leaves evoking the image of an armed force.

Moses, Samson, Gideon, Joshua, Hannible? A crucial system of ocean currents is slowing. It’s already supercharging sea level rise in the US.

Light blue and turquoise phytoplankton seen through the clouds highlight the ocean currents off the coast of Greenland. New research suggest an important system of these currents is at risk of collapsing as soon as next decade.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, known as the AMOC, works like a vast conveyor belt, transporting heat, salt and freshwater through the ocean and influencing climate, weather and sea levels around the planet.

Coastal flooding is caused by a cluster of factors, chief among them climate change-driven sea level rise, but the AMOC also plays a critical role in the Northeast, according to the study published Friday in the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Waves crash on the beach on January 23, 2016 in Cape May, New Jersey. The northeastern US coast is a hotspot for sea level rise.

Scientists used data from tide gauges — instruments which monitor sea level change — combined with complex ocean models to calculate how the AMOC has affected flooding in the region over the past decades.

They found between 2005 and 2022, up to 50% of flooding events along the northeastern coast were driven by a weaker AMOC. Drilling down, that means AMOC-driven sea level rise contributed to up to eight flood days a year over this period.

DOGE — department of oppression greed excrement!

The inspector general for the National Labor Relations Board is investigating the ad hoc Department of Government Efficiency’s interaction with the NLRB following NPR’s exclusive reporting about sensitive data leaving the agency.

The investigation was first reported by FedScoop, which filed records requests for information related to allegations made by IT staffer Daniel Berulis in an official whistleblower disclosure last month.

Daniel Berulis started working at the NLRB six months before President Trump started his second term.

FedScoop reported Thursday that the outlet’s requests were denied “based on an exemption that allows agencies to withhold records that are ‘included in an open investigatory file where disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with law enforcement proceedings.'”

The OIG’s inquiry comes after the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee wrote to the acting Inspector General at the Department of Labor Luiz Santos and Ruth Blevins, inspector general at the NLRB, expressing concern that DOGE “may be engaged in technological malfeasance and illegal activity.”

Each Abrams tank can weigh 60 tons or more and carry a crew of four.

What Does It Take to Make Community?

A vibrant and strong and active press

by Paul Haeder / May 14th, 2025

The ingredients for any community should start with the basics: active and informed citizens. Participants in a community’s past (context, knowledge), present (all those factors tied to the weakest and most vulnerable, are they included?) and future (getting to a place where climate chaos, predatory capitalism, neofascism doesn’t completely pull all the loose strings of a threadbare set of safety nets). There are plethora of planning books on the smalltown.

Then what about a sustainable city? Unfortunately, when planners and politicians talk about making cities more sustainable, they are thinking of large urban centers like Portland or Seattle. Oh, the buzz phrases: walkable neighborhoods, traditional architecture, and diverse land uses. It’s neighborhoods that sort of look like small towns. The fix is in for those large cities as planners and developers are B.S.-ing introducing a “small-town feel” into large cities and suburbs. This will never ever create a sense of community, nor will it reduce the use of automobiles.

From the promo stuff on the book, The New American Small Town: “So, what of small towns themselves? We don’t talk about these places as much. They are often assumed to be utopias of the past or crumbling ghost towns of the present day rather than places with potential for sustainable living. This book critically examines narratives of American small towns, contrasting them with lived experiences in these places, and considers both the myth and reality in the context of current urban challenges. Interweaving stories from and about U.S. small towns, the book offers lessons in sustainable urbanism that can be applied both in the towns themselves and to the larger cities and suburbs where most Americans now live.”

Like I stated above, there are dozens of books for planning students and developers and chambers of commerce and policy wonks on how to jigger things for smalltowns.

“The book offers hope-filled portraits of small towns as livable, sustainable, and diverse places and serves as an important corrective to the media narrative of alienated, left-behind rural voters.”

—Mark Bjelland, author of Good Places for All

New American Small Town cover

Thinking of community from that large urban space, Jane Jacobs approached cities as living beings and ecosystems. She suggested that over time, buildings, streets and neighborhoods function as dynamic organisms, changing in response to how people interact with them. She explained how each element of a city – sidewalks, parks, neighborhoods, government, economy – functions together synergistically, in the same manner as the natural ecosystem. This understanding helps us discern how cities work, how they break down, and how they could be better structured.

She was looking at big urban places, like her home, New York:

“Whenever and wherever societies have flourished and prospered rather than stagnated and decayed, creative and workable cities have been at the core of the phenomenon. Decaying cities, declining economies, and mounting social troubles travel together. The combination is not coincidental.” (source)

In my small town, population 2,300, we look toward the sea and the forest as reminders of how vital ecosystems are. The county becomes a network of towns along the coast and inland — Lincoln City, Depoe Bay, Newport, Seal Rock, Waldport, Yahcats.

We drive a lot, and the traffic during tourist summer season balloons. The town of Lincoln City is around 10,000, but on some weekends, it swells to 50,000. All that infrastructure, all that water, all those restaurants and beaches, well, think of five times the impact, or more, since locals do not all swarm to the beaches or the restaurants all in one fell swoop.

We are living on unceded land, and in many cases, sacred burial land: Indigenous Communities in Oregon.

The links below are the websites of Oregon’s nine federally recognized tribal communities:

The story of a community is all wrapped up in its context, history, and in this age of a memory hole crazy presidency — with white supremacists like Jewish Stephen Miller running the Trump team’s Gestapo and Big Brother training camp — we will see history literally erased.

Communities that are small are more vulnerable than those large urban areas Jacobs wrote about, and studied.

From my urban and regional-planning graduate-student days (looking at concepts of small is better and scaling down) there are so many quotable axioms tied to communities that are considered small. Here are some notes from one of my planning classes looking at regional smalltown planning:

  • “A small town is where everyone knows everyone, and everyone has a secret.”
  • “In the quiet of the village, the soul finds its reflection.”
  • “A village is a symphony of nature and humanity.”
  • “Simplicity and serenity find their home in village life.”
  • “The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.”
  • “If it is to be successful it must be folk-planning. This means that its task is … to find the right places for each sort of people; places where they will really flourish.”

For me, big ideas and a global perspective capture where I live. There is a deep economic tie to tourism and Air B & B sort of lifestyle out here. Fishing as an industry is big. Logging and a pulp mill in the town of Toledo are still big economic drivers. A big brewery, Rogue, gobbles up precious freshwater, as does the pink fish industry of Pacific Seafoods.

We have the NOAA station and the Oregon State University Hatfield Marine Sciences Center, as well as the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Many highly educated (college) retirees end up here since many worked for those two large entities listed above. I’ve written about “this place” for Dissident Voice, capturing my old gig as a columnist for Oregon Coast Today. I write for the local rag, called the Newport News Times, with a name change of Lincoln County Leader.

Conference celebrates how the ocean connects to all of us — coastlines, people, cultures

This one captures my day in and day out life on the wrack line:

Respite: Smart People, Concerned Environmentalists, Talking Whales, Kelp, Tidepools.”

I’ve worked with poor people and homeless folk, with developmental delayed clients, and I have had columns in two newspapers, one of which became a book out there, to be purchased on Amazon — Coastal People inside a Deep Dive: stories about people living on the Central Coast and other places in Oregon.

Here’s an interesting one, while I was training to be a bus driver, but alas, that fell through because of bad HR, MAGA co-workers, and a multinational company, First Student, ruling over the local school system’s transportation:

More and More Boys are Coming Home from School with Behavior Sheets!

Here’s a weird idea of mine, a letter to Jeff Bezos’ ex, billionaire MacKenzie Scott Tuttle. “Another 400 Acres Up for Sale!

The big idea around homelessness. That was more than three years ago, and today, those first 100-plus days in this DOGE — Department of Oppression Greed Excrement — nightmare, and the signs of fascism, “at the foothills of fascism” as professor Gerald Horne calls it, I see the major trauma cracks in this smalltown existence.

Daily, the Meals on Wheels delivery route I volunteer for shows America in a microcosm — old people, alone aging in place, many in homes or apartments that are long in the tooth, with major repair issues facing them. The TV “news” is usually blaring in the background. And the people energy is thankfulness and fear.

Just a few minutes with each free meals recepient will help them feel somehow connected to the outside world, a world not wrapped up in medical visits and isolation. The Meals on Wheels programs get state and federal grants. The MOW programs are on the DOGE chopping block, part of the billionaires’ scheme to hobble the weak, vulnerable, the 80 Percenters.

Just put in your Google-Gulag search, “Paul Haeder Newport News Times,” and you’ll find the thousand word Op-Eds that are still getting published in the local rag, though after a few looks at the stories, the PayWall comes into play. Some of those pieces have been republished in Dissident Voice.

You can search Dissident Voice for those, or Muck Rack.

“Community” includes all those puzzle pieces, from education, health care, environment, economics, people, transportation, etc. From an urban planning point of view, the boiler plate definition of planning encompasses a broad range of fields and specializations focused on shaping the built environment and improving the quality of life in urban and regional areas. This interdisciplinary field taps into various disciplines, including geography, economics, sociology, and public policy.

The rise of sustainability as a force to critique, celebrate and co-modify

And I did the “sustainability” thing, even going to Vancouver for the University of British Columbia’s summer sustability program.

Fourteen years ago, and boy have I changed on that green is the new black and new green deal mentality:

The rise of sustainability as a force to critique, celebrate and co-modify.”

Journalism seems to be one avenue into a MURP degree, as I ended up in the Eastern Washington University program in 2001, just new to the Pacific northwest coming from El Paso. The program included tribal planning, looking at scenic by-ways, neighborhood planning, even planning principles around farmer’s markets and sustainable businesses.

I was teaching English at community colleges and Gonzaga when the advisors at EWU said I should get into that master’s program, emphasizing that many journalists have entered into the field of planning.

One dude, James Howard Kunstler, I brought to Spokane, putting him through a whirlwind set of speaking engagements. Here, myew of him on my radio show, Tipping Points: James Howard Kunstler calls suburban sprawl “the greatest misallocation of resources the world has ever known.” His arguments bring a new lens to urban development, drawing clear connections between physical spaces and cultural vitality. Books like The Long Emergency and The Geography of Nowhere made him famous.

In Spokane, I created local and regional news interest, with a column in the monthly magazine, Spokane Living — Metro Talk. Dozens of columns: “Go Tell It on the Mountain” is just one example of that journalism. Music Therapy? Check that out: “Music to the Ears.” And then a column in the weekly, Pacific Northwest Inlander (“War and Peace In Vietnam“), and had a column in the Spokesman Review, tied to Down to Earth (“You Never Know a Place is Unique Until the Story Gets Told“), and then a radio show, Tipping Points.

The guests on that show were varied in background, political leanings and creative impetus. See those shows here at Paul Haeder (dot) com.

Now? At age 68? I teach a memoir writing class for the community college, and even that gig is all messed up with MAGA, or the fear of MAGA, as I was warned this spring quarter that a student who received an email from me along with the other enrolled students complained that she thought the class was misrepresented in the Oregon Coast Community College catalogue. The class is about writing, including memoir writing, fiction, poetry, long and short form creative non-fiction, editorial writing, and flash fiction and flash essays.

My email to the class, all blind copied, included articles from the Chronicle of Higher Education and articles in literary magazine around the cuts to humanities, including the cuts to journalism, writing programs, etc. This person wanted her money back and she wrote to a vice president who, like most in educatoin, are spineless creatures.

Can you issue a full refund for my registration to the “Writing As Gift Class” in Waldport which starts this afternoon? This class is not as described in the Catch the Wave catalgue. I write about nature and short stories of personal experiences. This class appears to be biased towards politics. Can you also let the instructor know to delete my email and contact information permanently? I do not give the instructor permission to forward my contact information or use it for any other purposes.

Well well, you have read plenty of my work at Dissident Voice around the decay-rot-putridity in higher education, part-time faculty organizing, and the rise of the administrative class in education.

See: “Disposable Teachers

Fifteen Dollars and Teaching for Scraps

Hoodwinked — Hook-Line-and-Sinker the School is Drowning

So, yes, big towns like Seattle or Portland or El Paso, where I worked as a journalist, educator, activist, and social services person, all the while writing novels and essays, they too are bastions of that mean as cuss Americanism. Seattle and Portland? “Death by a Thousand Cuts: Vaccines, Non-Profits, and the Dissemination of Medical Information“; “Falling into the Planned Parenthood Gardasil Snake Pit.”

I deploy D.H. Lawrence in setting the stage for this brutish culture, America:

America is neither free nor brave, but a land of tight, iron-clanking little wills, everybody trying to put it over everybody else, and a land of men absolutely devoid of the real courage of trust, trust in life’s sacred spontaneity. They can’t trust life until they can control it.

— D. H. Lawrence (Studies in Classic American Literature. Ed. Ezra Greenspan, Lindeth Vasey & John Worthen. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003.)

So, here is part of that smalltown community college sort of fearful letter from the spineless administrator, the same sort of spinelessness I received decades ago from the University of Texas, or Gonzaga University or Clark College or Greenriver College:

I’m going to ask that you not bulk email the students henceforth. Our team will send emails on your behalf about any announcements – assignments, presentations, date/time changes, etc. Just send those to us and we’ll distribute. (Of course, any student who wishes to hear from you directly can tell you so and provide their preferred email address; we have no interest in interfering with that.)

Time is short, but we’re forced to consider canceling the class this morning for two reasons: First, in your email, you introduce an experience far from what we advertised in our catalog. Second, in my estimation it doesn’t conform to our Academic Freedom policy. Based on your email, the class certainly does not appear to be an examination of issues, but presents a singular political agenda. (Note that I’m setting aside here the fact that you and I may share many viewpoints raised in your email to students; this isn’t about my personal beliefs and concerns.) If you wanted to present a workshop focused on your personal opinions, and your past writings, about the current or former administrations or other political issues, one alternative would have been to rent a room from the College or a Library and delivered the event without being tethered by the College’s commitment to freedom of expression of all viewpoints. That may be an option to consider in the future.

Ahh, my class will/is explore/exploring writing in a time of “community and societal and family estrangement” which is the blurb at the top of the description printed in the Oregon Coast Community College catalogue. Utilizing fiction and non-fiction.

Writing As A Gift

…to yourself, and to the world

We’ll tackle fiction and non-fiction. We’ll explore writing in a time of community and societal and family estrangement. Personal essay or hard hitting poetry. Writing is an act of internal dialogue ex-pressed to an audience. We will start off with class input on where individuals are in this process. Beginner fiction writer or aficionado of creative non-fiction? We’ll discover through writing who we are as a creative community. Paul Haeder’s been in this game of teaching and publishing and editing writing for five decades.

And so it goes, so it goes. You know that being a dissident, or a voice of dissidence, well, it has always been a Joe McCarthy moment for those of us in academic-journalism who would date challenge people to think.

And the language of the administrator or provost or gatekeeper will always sound like a two-bit lawyer’s verbiage:

01/21/2015: Institutions of higher education exist for the common good, and the unfettered search for truth and its free exploration is critical to the common good. The college seeks to educate its students in the democratic tradition, to foster recognition of individual freedoms and social responsibility, and to inspire meaningful awareness of and respect for a collaborative learning environment. Freedom of expression will be guaranteed to instructors to create a classroom atmosphere that allows students to raise questions and consider all sides of issues. OCCC instructors are responsible for exercising judgment in selecting topics of educational value for discussion and learning consistent with course requirements, goals, and desired outcomes. (Emphasis added, DP)

Not sure how my email exploring higher education’s fear of losing all of the humanities, losing all the Diversity Equity Inclusion courses, and gutting liberal arts in general, how all of that is “not allowing” students to raise questions and consider all sides of issues.

Small towns or big towns, pick your institution and Kafkaesque poison.

But part of my role in community consciousness raising is primarily community journalism, also known as solutions journalism, so in this most recent iteration of Haeder, I have a fairly new show, one hour a week, dealing with public affairs, but truly an interview show, a deep dive with a guest or guests, and alas, all shows, all topics, all of it derives from my own deep well of experience, exploration, education and emancipation — the Four E’s, man, of life!

Johnny Boy (JT) and Black Kettle

by Paul Haeder / July 31st, 2020

JT loves drawing sandhill cranes. Extruded from memory, JT sits on the sagging bumper of the Ford RV as he pushes capillaries of charcoal into the sky he delivers on the sketch pad paper.

Unending fire sky, he tells himself. He wants to imagine the sky this way, Turneresque, electric, something like all those village buildings he left behind in Huehuetenango what seems like a life time ago.

He steadies his hand and fingers, pushing and pulling, like an archaeologist digging through strata for evidence of life. He has no need to jump up and start over with colored pencils, Prismacolor pens, or sloppy acrylics.

The celestial rainbow of cirrus is a constant wash in his blinking moments, in between drawing birds of El Bosque and remembering war. The elegance of this bird — Antigone canadensis — JT knows is lost in his sketching, but each time a Rocky Mountain sandhill crane lifts, bouncing on air, dipping back into the water, JT understands the limits of art. It’s easy to fold back, fifty years.

A half century passes, from a youthful JT, soon a Government Issue grunt, then lifted out of Indochina with near-spiritual mortal wounds, into London to visit an aunt in Surrey. Then off to France. It’s a dream and nightmare, December 1968. A 23-year-old’s dream to see Paris.

Walking for hours in Saigon, JT finds himself in the cubby of a wood carver, Viet Nguon. In an instant of hormonic synchronicity, the Las Cruces boy is being told about Southwestern Native American masks by a bamboo-thin man in black silk ensemble. This master of wood has long graying hair cuffed into a foot-long viper down his back. He doesn’t display a traditional Fu Manchu beard of aging guys. Rather, this man’s sideburns are something out of Dickens – Vietnamese lambchops. Curly hair like the dogs sold in markets for stir-fry.

Viet’s store is on a side street near An Dong market, and the alley-sized foot-and-bike path is devoted to shops where wood carvings and wood artisan wares are manufactured and sold.

The artist Viet has three hundred masks in his cramped shop. JT is all eyes, and for the New Mexico kid, each crazed mask seems like magic.

The Vietnamese artist speaks English. “You like? Many hundreds more I sell to many kinds of people. Where you from soldier?”

JT wants the real blood of these people – words, emotions, gestures, laughing and chatter from these Homo Sapiens he was told was “always the enemy . . . left or right, north or south, boy or girl, they are your enemy, Thomlinson. “

The lucidity of his nights sweating is always about the sound of war. The screams and moans of machine-gunned farmers, VC, somewhere in the elephant and canary grass. The rice paddies at night. Groans. The odor of flesh, burning shit, tires, and napalm and diesel. It was his companion now, extracted from the field, ready to ship out and be done with the war with Vietnam. I’ll never done with Vietnam, he told himself. Even now all the way to the middle of New Mexico Chihuahua desert.

“You come from where?”

JT stumbles in his response: “First Division, but ready for home. Attached at Tan Son Nhut,” JT says as he straightens his back, in deference to the elder. The man is in his sixties, JT estimates, but that’s not always easy to gauge for so many Vietnamese – older guys sometimes look younger. Maybe he is eighty. Hard to tell.

“I see, I see. Bro’, Big Red One. It says Thomlison. Family name? My name Viet Nguon. Call me Viet. I ask where you family come from, no care about patch on arm?”

JT’s surprised – then, looks down at his fatigues, the name patch. JT touches the BRO shield and number 1 on his arm. He still never got used to the fact he had been drafted 18 months earlier, and his whole life was green, black boots, humping a rucksack, laying mines, carrying an M-16.

“Uh, New Mexico. Las Cruces. United States.” JT still can’t recall the last time he spoke to a civilian Vietnamese. Sure, the yelling and cursing his unit dramatized out of fear, that wasn’t the same. JT, remembers words, grunted words, gaseous words, lifting from the dark green of Vietnam, scattered dying enemies. Children screaming. Babies heaving. Groans. Water buffalo slogging. Civets. Roosters. Chinese music on transistor radios. Cicadas.

“You have people with beautiful masks. Fantastic features. What you call serpents. Those people in your homeland, named Hopi, Navajo. Great masks. Here, look, one I do like they say, kachina – like a bird. What, you call raven?”

Viet gives JT the water melon sized mask. Amazing details of the bird’s beak and nostrum, the eyes, blue-black, the wood almost alive with feature cuts.

“I go to your country with books, no? Inside words on page. Masks, a magic of people. You put on. Put on. Here, mirror.”

JT reluctantly takes the mask, which is light, and he touches the fine carved spaces. Black feathers are slicked back, like a mane flowing to a person’s neck. The corvid’s eyes have two perfectly drilled openings so the mask wearer can see.

“It’s okay, sir.” JT says trying to hand back the mask.

“No, good stuff, Thomlinson. Magic. You put on. You can be new Thomlinson. No more corporal, no more jungle, no more boom and fire . . . but bird man. Try on. Magic!”

Viet puts a calming but firm hand on JT’s shoulder. Surprisingly to JT, Viet is tall for a Vietnamese, almost 5’ 11”, two inches shorter than JT.

JT knows the signs of panic, claustrophobia, are telltale – sweaty upper lip, flushed neck, slurred words. He’s feeling the acrid instant coffee hit his windpipe.

“It okay, Thomlinson. Bird goes on this way,” Viet says, helping lift the mask into place. “You know, black plague? Your ancestors had bird masks. Put sage and perfumes in long beaks. Chase away bubonic plague. You know this history?”

JT imagines all these bird men, fat, big Frenchmen and others walking around with prods to keep away the plague victims. “Un, no, not that. But I remember my mother taking me and my sister to Santa Fe. I remember the dances. Lots of costumes. Masks. Just like this one. And others, sir.” JT presses the concave of the mask into his head as Viet secures the headgear with a beautiful silk purple ribbon.

“Raven. Powerful. Not what plague doctors have in seventeen century. This powerful . . . they call crow talisman.”

JT is guided by the artist Viet to the mirror near Viet’s assembling table where he carves and designs masks.

“Maybe Thomlinson clan knows raven good animal, help people. Make world for them. Raven trick too. Steal shiny objects. Raven is child, cause loud trouble for others. But wise. See, Thomlinson, see magic of mask?”

JT looks at the image in the mirror – tall, thin GI, wrinkled uniform, with this magnificent piece of art, carved and adorned with black and purple feathers. He sees that boy, in El Bosque del Apache. Mother taking the children to the wildlife refuge to watch sandhill cranes and snow geese winter over in the desiccated land around Socorro.

JT knows the transformation from soldier into this Vietnamese man’s magic bird will be his talisman. Memory molded into whatever is left of his feelings about killing Vietnamese. The goo of death and stench of heaving Americans in a foreign land disappear for a moment, maybe forever in this crystalized moment.

“You see, you feel. New you. Raven, crow. We have in Vietnam, same clown birds. They come with death. Silly creatures. Smart. Last ones standing after Big Red One bro’s come in with mortars and fire tongue.”

JT stares for what seems like ten minutes. Viet vanishes. The mind, JT thinks, plays tricks. He squeezes his eyes shut behind the mask, and he sees himself flying. Black bird at El Bosque. Jumping around all the other birds. Trickster. Pest.

+-+

You know son, either way you look at it, we are fucked, says JT’s mother, looking like cracked pasta months from her death from breast cancer.

Vagabond lives I gave you and your sister. I am okay with you leaving, hiding in Canada. Mexico. Or you go over there in the bloody morass and come back hardened, but with a chance at something new.

Their mother was an ornithologist for the US Fish and Wildlife Service. JT and his sis’ Roberta always got the Rachel Carson and Jane Goodall of things.

Look for the birds when you can, Johnny Boy. If you go overseas, look for birds and listen to the people who know their birds. If you go, dear, you will have bird stories only I can dream of . . . . El Bosque is fantastic but not like all those old-world jungle species. It’s going to be heaven.

Larged-winged birds called sandhill cranes arrive in fields to feed at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge.

+-+

When JT takes off the large, bigger than human life-sized mask, he feels tears running down to his open collar and pure white cotton undershirt. Viet is there instantly, with a wooden carving of the same sort of bird. It fits in the palm of his hand. He hands it to JT.

“You take. You hold this when you got back. New Mexico. Big land of colors I see in movies, no? You go see birds for new light. Vietnam. One day, Thomlinson clan and Viet clan come together. You go to Paris, like I study art. Ho Chi study art in Paris. Go to big museum of African work. Trocadero. Ethnology. Go see masks.”

JT never paid Viet because Viet never took the corporal’s money.

Six months later, JT is in Paris, bumming around, absorbed in the street art. Bumming hashish. And he finds the Trocadero had been demolished in 1935.

But he does find those masks and other ethnographic materials Viet Nhung talked about. At the Musée de l’Homme, housed in the Palais de Chaillot.

JT carries the rucksack and the journals his mother would have wanted to see if she had survived another wintering of the sandhill cranes. The entire list of sightings of birds throughout his humping through lowlands and jungle and alpine forests would have put her on Ornithological Cloud Nine.

Not just an artist’s obsession, but an offering for a mother’s memory. More than 880 birds in Vietnam, and Corporal Thomlinson comes back to El Bosque with more than 340 captured in notes and sketchings.

A bird professor at University of New Mexico was blown away by the lonely corporal’s bird list and his descriptions and drawings. “You’ve got to get a doctorate in birds, man. This is crazy impressive.”

He follows in his mother’s footsteps – this time state game and fish. Entire weeks in wilderness. Entire lifetimes to find the birdman’s magic.

It is birds that saved me, man. So many of my buddies from Vietnam, gone. Three sheets to the wind. Hunkered down in some flop. Lots of heroin. I did nothing more than listen to Viet and push something like magic into my being. I never got to be the fucking artist of my dreams, of that magic, but, still, the art of this, out here, now, in the boonies, with birds. The other wildlife. Some marbles still in my head pushing 74 years old. You can’t call this a blessing, but man, I have had my mother next to me every single day. She was right . . . . I would come back, transformed. I know this is a so-called sacred moment, and I am grateful, but what saved me was not a higher authority or power, but the true magic of masks and birds. – He wrote this during one of his AA meetings, that famous 20-year coin award.

JT still has the Picasso quote taped up to the tiny wall of the RV where the small bed is slung over the cab of the vehicle. Something profound enough for a drifting American ex-Vietnam soldier to have written down in his journal next to the birds of Paris he spent time cataloguing and drawing.

He found the quote somewhere on the Paris streets. Someone he shared wine with. A Frenchman who recognized in the young JT a transcendence from tool of war to a drifter in time and space . . . to magic seeker.

“You want to be an artist?” this fellow asks. “You enjoy Picasso? Oui, when Pablo was young, no pennies in his pocket, in Paris, he kept his eyes open for African masks at the Trocadero Museum. It was not an impressive musee. But the young Picasso, he fell for the magic – the charm — of Africa. Here, his actual words from a book. I give you them now, Johnny Boy:

A smell of mold and neglect caught me by the throat. I was so depressed that I would have chosen to leave immediately,’ Picasso said. ‘But I forced myself to stay, to examine these masks, all these objects that people had created with a sacred, magical purpose, to serve as intermediaries between them and the unknown, hostile forces surrounding them, attempting in that way to overcome their fears by giving them color and form. And then I understood what painting really meant. It’s not an esthetic process. It’s a form of magic that interposes itself between us and the hostile universe, a means of seizing power by imposing a form on our terror as well as on our desires. The day I understood that, I had found my path.

Sandhill crane. Omnivore. Average life span in the wild: 20 years. Body: 31.5 to 47.2 inches. Wingspan: 5 to 6 ft. Weight: 6.5 to 14 pounds. More than 500,000 sandhill cranes amass at Nebraska’s Platte River in spring.

Sand Hill Crane and Sand Creek Massacre. JT can’t shake the mnemonic. In November 1864, Colonel John Chivington and his Colorado volunteers massacre a peaceful village of Cheyenne camped near Sand Creek in Colorado Territory. Chivington the Methodist preacher placed himself in the center of the Indian wars as his opportunity to gain recognition to win a government office. Chivington burned villages and killed Cheyenne whenever and wherever he could.

JT was there, days after Calley and his men from Charlie Company 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment unleashed the My Lai Massacre. Three hundred or 507 dead?

This day, this war crime, a war crime that was exposed by soldiers and condemned by the U.S. government in 1864. Sand Creek Massacre unleashed decades of war on the Great Plains. Even locals are unaware of what had happened in their own backyard.

The hundreds of troops charged the Cheyenne village of around a thousand. A chief raised the Stars and Stripes above his lodge. And others in the village waved white flags.

In response, the troops opened fire with carbines and cannon, killing more than 150 Indians, most of them women, children and the elderly.

Before departing, the troops burned the village and mutilated the dead, carrying off body parts as trophies.

A 104 years later, these 1st Platoon members testified in court that the deaths of individual Vietnamese men, women and children took place inside M? Lai during the security sweep. Livestock was shot as well.

JT can’t forget the testimony of PFC Michael Bernhardt describing what he saw upon entering the sub-hamlet of Xom Lang:

I walked up and saw these guys doing strange things … Setting fire to the hootches and huts and waiting for people to come out and then shooting them … going into the hootches and shooting them up … gathering people in groups and shooting them … As I walked in you could see piles of people all through the village … all over. They were gathered up into large groups. I saw them shoot an M79 grenade launcher into a group of people who were still alive. But it was mostly done with a machine gun. They were shooting women and children just like anybody else. We met no resistance and I only saw three captured weapons. We had no casualties. It was just like any other Vietnamese village – old papa-sans, women and kids. As a matter of fact, I don’t remember seeing one military-age male in the entire place, dead or alive.

Band Number: 599-05468

JT goes to the small RV and pulls down one of his first big color sketches. He brought to life one of the old timers. One of those Rocky Mountain sandhill cranes with the band on his leg for more than 36 years.

It was JT’s last foray in the Wildlife Service. December 2006. In El Bosque.

The Sandhill crane started life on the Wyoming border, on the Thomas Fork of the Bear River.

Band Number: 599-05468. One of the oldest Rocky Mountain Sandhill Cranes. The bird was banded with its brood mate on June 29, 1973. The year his sister died in a car wreck. The year he began banding birds.

A two-chick brood is normal for Rocky Mountain Sandhills.

The magic of birds and what JT’s mom inculcated in him pushed him through Vietnam, through the dark nights of booze and massacres.

JT was there to sketch the animal when it was banded with its sister.

Then he was with it for last rites — Band 599-05468. For its 36 and a half years on the planet, the creature flew from Border, Wyoming — where he and his sister were banded at age 44 days — to the staging area for sandhill cranes the San Luis Valley of Colorado and then down the Rio Grande to Bosque del Apache. That’s a one-way trip of 700 miles.

If one were to assume this crane returned close to its nesting grounds each spring and back to Bosque del Apache each winter, the bird made the round trip 36 times, as well a final one-way trip where it was found. That is a total of 51,100 miles in a lifetime, or the equivalent of circling the earth more than twice.

JT thinks about the bird often, what the Fish and Wildlife guys call Band Number 599-05468.

The day he sketched the chick, JT knew a different name would stick for him. Not Band 599-05468. But an anthropomorphic one — Black Kettle.

Named after the Cheyenne Chief, Black Kettle, who survived the Sand Creek massacre. Black Kettle, the chief who had raised a U.S. flag in a futile gesture of fellowship, survived the massacre, carrying his badly wounded wife from the field and limping east across the wintry plains. He was a peacemaker, and in 1865 he signed a treaty, resettling his band on reservation land in Oklahoma.

Three years later, Black Kettle was killed there in 1868, in yet another massacre, this one led by Colonel George Armstrong Custer.

Corporal Johnny Boy Thomlinson remembers. Each memory captured somewhere in his 74 years of sketches.

In the summer of 2023, Ilya Sutskever [Sutskever was born into a Jewish family[14] in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia (then Gorky, Soviet Union). At the age of 5, he made aliyah with his family and lived in Jerusalem,[15][16] until he was 16, when his family moved to Canada.[17] Sutskever attended the Open University of Israel from 2000 to 2002.[18] After moving to Canada, he attended the University of Toronto in Ontario.[18] ] , a co-founder and the chief scientist of OpenAI, was meeting with a group of new researchers at the company. By all traditional metrics, Sutskever should have felt invincible: He was the brain behind the large language models that helped build ChatGPT, then the fastest-growing app in history; his company’s valuation had skyrocketed; and OpenAI was the unrivaled leader of the industry believed to power the future of Silicon Valley. But the chief scientist seemed to be at war with himself.

Sutskever had long believed that artificial general intelligence, or AGI, was inevitable—now, as things accelerated in the generative-AI industry, he believed AGI’s arrival was imminent, according to Geoff Hinton, an AI pioneer who was his Ph.D. adviser and mentor, and another person familiar with Sutskever’s thinking. (Many of the sources in this piece requested anonymity in order to speak freely about OpenAI without fear of reprisal.) To people around him, Sutskever seemed consumed by thoughts of this impending civilizational transformation. What would the world look like when a supreme AGI emerged and surpassed humanity? And what responsibility did OpenAI have to ensure an end state of extraordinary prosperity, not extraordinary suffering?

It said only 22% of the waste was properly collected and recycled in 2022 and that quantity is expected to fall to 20% by the end of the decade due to higher consumption, limited repair options, shorter product life cycles, and inadequate management infrastructure.

Yikes — Dress Codes, making the baristas look like fucking Nazi cooks, and, well, striking over the aprons. We are in some fucked up plasticized cunt licking times.

A strike by Starbucks baristas protesting the company’s new dress code grew Thursday.

More than 2,000 Starbucks baristas at 120 U.S. stores have gone on strike since Sunday to protest the new dress code, according to Starbucks Workers United, a union representing the coffee giant’s U.S. workers.

Starbucks put new limits starting Monday on what its baristas can wear under their green aprons. The dress code requires employees at company-operated and licensed stores in the U.S. and Canada to wear a solid black shirt and khaki, black or blue denim bottoms.

Under the previous dress code, baristas could wear a broader range of dark colors and patterned shirts. Starbucks said the new rules would make its green aprons stand out and create a sense of familiarity for customers as it tries to establish a warmer, more welcoming feeling in its stores.

It is not the only boycott the company has faced. It has faced ongoing strikes, led by unionized workers, highlighting an urge for improved staffing, scheduling, and bargaining over contract negotiations. The workers demand better working conditions, especially on high-traffic days that they say test the limits of staff capacity and morale.

And so the racist Jewish Controlled USA, is hot on their trail: Student who earned Ph.D. while DHS tried to deport her over minor traffic violation is granted injunction

An Indian international student in South Dakota, whose sole infraction was a failure-to-yield traffic violation, had sued the Trump administration over her visa and status revocations.

Priya Saxena, who’s from India, received a doctorate in chemical and biological engineering and a master’s in chemical engineering from South Dakota School of Mines & Technology this past weekend. Just over a month ago, Saxena had been notified that her visa and status in the country had been revoked.

Saxena’s attorney, Jim Leach, told NBC News that her sole infraction was for a failure-to-yield to an emergency vehicle from four years ago, which he described as “the lowest possible traffic offense.”

Saxena, who sued the Trump administration, was granted a temporary restraining order until the end of this week, allowing her to collect her degrees. And on Thursday morning, she was granted a preliminary injunction that keeps the government from attempting to detain or deport her.

The Atlantic Ocean has a toxic seaweed problem.

Floating in brown islands of algae, this year’s sargassum bloom has already broken its own size record by millions of tons — and the growing season isn’t done yet.

Now stretching across some 5,500 miles of ocean, the annual bloom is more than just an eyesore: Sargassum hurts ecosystems and economies wherever its overgrown arms reach. And they are spreading into Florida’s waterways, coating marinas and beaches in the Miami area.

“Sargassum goes from being a very beneficial resource of the North Atlantic to becoming what we refer to as … a harmful algal bloom, when it comes ashore in excessive biomass,” said Brian LaPointe, a research professor at Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute.

“What we have seen since 2011 are excessive inundation events all around the Caribbean region, the Gulf, as well as the South Florida region,” explained LaPointe, who has studied the seaweed for decades.

Johnson suggested to reporters Wednesday that provisions for a higher state and local tax (SALT) deduction and to enforce new Medicaid work requirements sooner could be incorporated into the final package as he stares down a self-imposed Memorial Day weekend deadline for passage.

Discussion about this post

Paulo Kirk

In this award-winning documentary, the first-time directors take a detailed look at the apartheid analogy commonly used to describe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Narrated by Alice Walker (author of The Color Purple), Roadmap to Apartheid is as much a historical document of the rise and fall of apartheid in South Africa, as it is a film about why many Palestinians feel they are living in an apartheid system today, and why an increasing number of people around the world agree with them.

While not perfect, the apartheid analogy is a useful framework by which to educate people on the complex issues facing Israelis and Palestinians. Our film delves into those issues, comparing the many similar laws and tools used by both Israel and apartheid-era South Africa. The audience will see what life is like for Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and inside Israel while gaining a deeper understanding of the conflict with the help of respected analysts on the subject. Combined with archival material and anecdotes from South Africans, the film forms a complete picture as to why the analogy is being used with increasing frequency and potency.

Screenings of this film have been made possible thanks to the National Film Board of Canada.

and so you say you are FOR voting, FOR non-violence, FOR democracy when the grift and graft and gunslinging are part and parcel, U$A U$A U$A

And once upon a time it was the hanging chads and those fucking voting machines. Now?

At the beginning of 2014, Trump was finally starting to seriously consider getting into the 2016 race. Around that time, CNBC was conducting an online poll to determine the 25 most influential businesspeople to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their network. Trump was one of the 200 businessmen listed as a candidate, alongside Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah, Warren Buffet, and the like. Unsurprisingly to just about everyone familiar with the list of candidates, Trump was sitting at 187 out of 200 after the first voting returns came in.

Donny Boy was irate.

Trump brought the daily operations of the entire Trump Organization to a screeching halt in order to address the egregious iniquity of his placement in an online poll for an informal award that some media outlet had just made up. Since you could only vote in the poll once from any device, Trump ordered everyone in his Organization to stop whatever they were doing and vote for him on every device they owned. Anyone who had additional computers or tablets at home was sent home from work to vote for the boss. When this company-wide subterfuge failed to move the needle at a national level, Trump ordered Cohen to somehow “fix” the situation.

Cohen had a good friend, John Gauger, who was the Chief Information Officer at Liberty University. Cohen had ingratiated himself to the higher-ups at Liberty for “fixing” a situation for Jerry Fallwell, Jr – the president of Liberty – and his wife involving some nude photos and a pool boy in Miami (that story eventually ended up getting out, as you may recall, turning out to be much, much worse than what Cohen was aware of at the time. Turns out those “morally upstanding” Fallwells were secretly into some really kinky sh*t with the pool boy!)

Anyway, Gauger had a side business called RedFinch Solutions, which provided SEO services and Internet reputation management. Within a day, he’d figured out a way to hack the algorithmic code CNBC’s website was using to run the poll. But since they couldn’t just hack in and give Trump a ton of votes from a single location, Gauger informed Cohen they’d need to purchase a boatload of IP addresses to rig the poll without detection. They weren’t all that expensive – 100,000 IP addresses for $7,500, which Trump immediately authorized.

Gauger bought them up and ran the hack, vaulting Trump up to 29th place with plenty of time still to go.

Once he realized he’d leapfrogged from 187 to 29, Trump authorized another $7,500 to buy another 100,000 IP addresses. He wanted to win the entire thing, but Cohen and Gauger managed to convince him that would look too suspicious – possibly inviting the type of forensic audit that would get them all found out – and to just accept making it into the top 10. Trump begrudgingly acquiesced, and ended up coming in 9th.

According to Cohen, Trump spent the next day making and taking phone calls from everyone he knew to discuss his “winning” the “ninth-most-important businessman of the past 25 years in a CNBC poll.” Although the Trump Organization was in the midst of working on a number of international real estate deals worth billions of dollars to the company, Trump just bailed on the business operations to boast to anyone who would listen about “winning” a poll in which he came in 9th, and only because he’d cheated to get there.

The scandal — or the crime, for which two people were convicted, Matt Borges and Larry Householder, plus others — went something like this: FirstEnergy dropped $60 million into a 501(c)(4), which was used at the direction of Larry Householder, first to get himself elected as speaker of the house, then to ram through a bill called HB6, which had been written by FirstEnergy to subsidize FirstEnergy to the tune of over $1 billion. Then some of that money was also used to muscle people who were trying to come up with a referendum to repeal HB6.

Part two of The Dark Money GameWealth of the Wicked, reveals the unscrupulous, behind-the-scenes ties between Citizens United and the crusade to overturn Roe v. Wade — including one zealot who flips sides, Robert Schenck. Tell us about all that and the role that Citizens United played in the defeat of reproductive rights.

Alex Gibney

It’s about what I’d call “an unholy alliance” between big business and evangelical Christians who are extremely antiabortion. The evangelical Christians had popular fervor, a very emotional issue, and some popular support. There was no popular support for what the big-business people wanted to do. But they had a lot of money.

Along comes into this unholy alliance a gentleman named Jim Bopp, an attorney, who was working very hard to try to overturn Roe v. Wade. He concluded that nothing was ever going to happen unless he could destroy the system of campaign finance restrictions that had been put in place by [Senators] John McCain and Russ Feingold. So he labored very hard through a number of decisions that led up to Citizens United, and he literally took it to the Supreme Court, where it was argued by somebody else.

Ultimately, Citizens United was decided, and henceforth there would be no limits on contributions to political campaigns by corporations and individuals. The only restriction was that money had to go into independent organizations like super PACs or 501(c)(4)s, and there was supposed to be no coordination with the candidate. Now we all know that’s a joke. Particularly we know it because of the events we show in Ohio Confidential.

Leonard Leo has been called one of the biggest kingmakers in American history. What do you think about Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society?

Alex Gibney

Leonard Leo is a very interesting figure. He was always a money-raiser. You can go back to his yearbook and see that, I believe, he was called the “moneybags [kid].” In any event, Leonard Leo turns out to be a master of raising money. He has two agendas: one is an extreme deregulatory agenda, which is the ideological agenda of the Federalist Society, even though it bills itself as a grand debating society. Actually it’s deeply conservative and interested in basically tearing down the regulatory state.

The other thing about Leonard Leo is he’s a deeply devout Catholic, but a deeply conservative Catholic. One of the things he does is to raise enormous amounts of money to promote the campaigns of justices who share both his deregulatory fervor and his religious inclinations, so that when they form a majority on the Supreme Court, and Roe v. Wade comes up for consideration, it’s overturned — you have the Dobbs decision. Leonard Leo plays a very powerful role as a dark-money aggregator, one who’s responsible for funding a lot of extremely right-wing causes and also trying to enforce his vision of Catholicism on the rest of the nation.

Ed Rampell

I believe Jane Mayer says in your films that Citizens United “basically legalized bribery by calling it free speech.” I think you, as the narrator of the films, also say that in any other democracy, this would be criminal.

Alex Gibney

When you give a candidate money, or effectively give a candidate money, and you ask for something in return, that’s corruption. That’s bribery. It’s simple; that’s quid pro quo. A long time ago, that was illegal. But over time the Supreme Court has eroded the statutes that were used to go after that kind of bribery. So much so that in a recent decision — involving the mayor of an Indiana town who gave a garbage truck contract to the Peterbilt [Motors] Company and was given a kickback — the Supreme Court said, “Well, because he got the kickback after the awarding of the contract, we can’t consider that to be a kickback at all; it’s a gratuity, therefore utterly legal.”

Ed Rampell

Are some of the Supreme Court justices themselves receiving forms of bribes?

Alex Gibney

In effect. We see that Supreme Court justices get trips, favors, sometimes RVs from people who have business before the court. There’s no doubt about that, and that’s been well documented.

After the totally-predictable blow-back, Trump announced that taxpayers would inot be footing the bill for his flying Taj Majal — it was actually a GIFT from the Qatari royal family!

Because they’re just really generous!

This didn’t actively improve the situation since forcing taxpayers to pay for your private jet doesn’t violate the Constitution…but accepting gifts from foreign states does:

The U.S. Constitution — Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 — prevents federal officials, those holding an office of “profit or trust,” from accepting gifts, emoluments (benefits), offices, or titles from foreign rulers or states.

This is known as the “Emoluments Clause.”

It doesn’t matter that the $400-million gift would make it the most extravagant, expensive gift in American history — the value isn’t the point — what matters is that, regardless of the cost, THIS ACT IS ILLEGAL.

Democratic politicians were quick to point out this painfully-obvious fact.

Trump responded with a tweet calling Dems “crooked losers” for rejecting a FREE GIFT…to the Department of Defense:

“So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane. Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!! MAGA”

During Blondi Bondi’s Senate-confirmation hearing, she was asked if she had any potential conflicts of interest that could interfere with her ability to execute the duties of the Attorney General.

To her credit, she named two:

  • Her work for the America First Policy Institute (a nonprofit think tank founded in 2021 to promote Trump’s public policy agenda)
  • Her brother’s legal practice (Brad Bondi is currently vying to be head of the D.C. Bar Association)

To her supreme discredit, Bondi conveniently failed to mention three others:

  1. She’s a lobbyist for The GEO Group — a private prison company accused of safety violations, providing inadequate health care, and poor management practices — whose largest source of revenue is ICE, who stands to rake in hundreds of millions off Trump’s new immigration policies.
  2. As a partner at Ballard Partners — one of the top lobbying firms in the country — she’s lobbied on behalf of more than 30 different clients (including Amazon and Uber), many of whom are facing an assortment of federal lawsuits for a myriad of violations.
  3. As a FARA-registered lobbyist (Foreign Agents Registration Act), Bondi earned $115k a month lobbying Congress on behalf of…Qatar.

Oopsie.

“Expect record breaking heat across much of central and southern Texas through mid-week,” the weather service said Monday in its short-range forecast.

Banana Republic all sizzling with graft and DOGE — Department of Graft and Ego.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) marked its 75th anniversary on Saturday after a significant announcement affecting its workforce. According to an internal memo obtained by 7News, the NSF is reducing its temporary workforce from 368 employees to approximately 70, demanding all full-time employees return to in-person work, and eliminating the Division of Equity for Excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

The memo indicated that some NSF positions will be reassigned within 30 days. The agency, which supports research and education in all non-medical fields of science and engineering, will spend the next month determining which 70 positions are deemed essential.

Mid-Air Collisions, a la Banana Republic:

The United States aviation industry continues to grapple with the worst air traffic controller shortage in nearly 30 years as a recent spate of incidents has thrust the high-stress profession into the spotlight.

Now a federal collegiate training program is aiming to fill vacancies at US air traffic control towers faster with fresh-out-of-college recruits. The FAA has partnered with five schools, including Tulsa Community College in Oklahoma, on these enhanced programs.

Two Tulsa Community College students, Tiana Murphy and Rebecca Nobles, are set to graduate from the FAA’s Enhanced Air Traffic-Collegiate Training Initiative Program on Monday. It offers FAA Academy-equivalent air traffic control training, according to the FAA.

More Nazis in our midst: A group of 59 white South Africans has arrived in the US, where they are to be granted refugee status.

President Donald Trump has said the refugee applications for the country’s Afrikaner minority had been expedited as they were victims of “racial discrimination”.

The South African government said the group were not suffering any such persecution that would merit refugee status.

The Trump administration has halted all other refugee admissions, including for applicants from warzones. Human Rights Watch described the move as a cruel racial twist, saying that thousands of people – many black and Afghan refugees – had been denied refuge in the US.

This is how semi-democracy sort of is supposed to work:

Earlier this month, we offered a half-hearted endorsement of Portland Public Schools’ $1.83 billion bond measure on the May ballot.

We don’t dispute the urgent need to finish rebuilding PPS’ high schools and make repairs across the district’s aging elementary and middle schools. But the price tags for the high schools and the lack of a clear plan for tackling the backlog of seismic, HVAC and other fixes for schools gave us pause.

The board, we wrote, needed to earn Portlanders’ “yes” vote by providing more information on cost reductions to the high school designs, increased allocations to elementary and middle school repairs and its prioritization for fixes. Community members across the city similarly questioned the vagueness for such a large ask.

Credit the board for answering the call. Last week, the PPS directors unanimously adopted a comprehensive resolution that states their commitment to identifying and resolving seismic issues; directs the district to develop a researched plan for actions; commits to prioritizing seismic fixes and sets parameters for allocating funds among seismic and other critical infrastructural projects. The resolution, drafted by board members Herman Greene, Gary Hollands and Julia Brim-Edwards, also reserves $100 million for emergency needs and articulates the values that should guide the district and future boards.

Their actions in recognition of and response to the community’s concerns lead us to endorse a “yes” vote for Measure 26-259.

Fascism is the Beating Heart of Western “Civilization”

The historical record is damning. On the very day Europeans danced in the streets celebrating Nazi defeat, French colonial authorities were slaughtering up to 45,000 Algerians in Sétif, Guelma, and Kherrata. Their crime? Daring to believe that the “freedom” and “self-determination” so loudly proclaimed by Allied propaganda might apply to them too.

The Victims Liberated Europe From Its Colonial Auto-Immune Disease: The Ultimate Historical Irony

When France fell to Nazi Germany, tens of thousands of Algerians, Moroccans, Senegalese, and Vietnamese joined the fight to liberate France—not out of loyalty to their oppressors, but in desperate hope that defeating fascism abroad might finally break their own chains at home. The bitter irony cuts deep: the victims of Europe’s colonial fascism were sacrificing their lives to save Europe from the same colonialism that had simply turned inward and begun devouring Europe itself.

You read that right—Europe’s colonized subjects bled and died to rescue their tormentors from colonialism’s auto-immune disease, as the imperial violence cultivated across the Global South for centuries finally rebounded to consume its creators. The ultimate historical tragedy: the colonized dying to save the colonizers from themselves, only to be rewarded with massacres for daring to ask for the same freedom they had helped secure for Europe.

According to a Mexican news article that surfaced in May (2013), the Israeli military will begin training the police force in Mexico’s southeastern state of Chiapas, where the predominantly indigenous Zapatista National Liberation Army is based.

Yaron Yugman, Israel’s defence ministry representative in Mexico, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic, is quoted as affirming that “a country’s security is fundamental to its growth” and that human rights would be one of the focuses of military instruction.

Mexico’s indigenous Mayans are not the only group to have found themselves on the receiving end of Israel’s arsenal.

In an email to me, acclaimed author and historian Greg Grandin outlined a previous episode of such charitable regional intervention:

“In [civil war-era] Guatemala, Israel, acting on behalf of the Reagan administration, stepped in to supply military equipment, including helicopters and Galil rifles, and training that had been cut off during the previous Carter administration. Israel also supplied [the Guatemalan regime with] computers, software, and other equipment used for surveillance. This was at the height of the genocide, which ultimately left 200,000 dead, including many Mayans.”

Investigative reporter Jeremy Bigwood, who as a photojournalist covered Latin American civil wars in the 1980s and 1990s, confirmed that the Israelis were “up to their ears in the genocide” in Guatemala. He said the Israelis had supplied the military with Arava STOL planes and armoured personnel carriers, and established an ammunition factory in the city of Coban. Bigwood added: “The Israelis used telephone analysis – similar to what the NSA is now doing – and were able to utterly destroy the Guatemalan urban guerrillas. They assisted in the countryside by mapping out each family farmhouse and identifying the politics of the inhabitants.”

A 2012 report entitled Israel’s Worldwide Role in Repression by the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network notes that Israel’s extensive experience in displacing Palestinians enabled the state to assist in the planning and implementation of “scorched earth” policies in both Guatemala and El Salvador. According to the report, the Guatemalan operations “were combined with ‘development poles’ – concentrated villages of displaced populations that allowed for greater government control over the popular movement and the repression of any grassroots organising”.

Going back further, a 1986 article by the Middle East Research and Information Project quotes a former member of the Knesset foreign affairs committee as defending Israeli involvement in Guatemala: “Israel is a pariah state. When people ask us for something, we cannot afford to ask questions about ideology. The only type of regime that Israel would not aid would be one that is anti-American”.

Death by ‘security’: Israel’s services in Latin America

The country has supported repressive governments in the region to suppress indigenous movements and uprisings.

And so this fucking Jew Goy-ionist and his Jewish Thugs!

The Rapist in Chief Trump HATES women, point blank.

Qatar? It’s a goddamned slave state, hence, the cocksucker Trump LOVES it.

[Qatar relies almost entirely on about two million migrants, who make up ninety-five percent of the country’s workforce in sectors ranging from construction to services to domestic work. Qatar’s migrant workers come predominantly from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kenya, and the Philippines.]

Human Rights Watch research has also shown that abuses of migrant workers’ rights in Qatar are serious and systemic and that the violations often stem from its labor governance system known as kafala (sponsorship), which ties migrant worker’s legal status in the country to their employers. The system criminalizes “absconding,” that is, leaving an employer without permission, for example, to change jobs. Migrant workers are also often subjected to the routine confiscation of their passports by employers and pay recruitment fees to secure jobs in the Gulf, which can keep them indebted for years.

The fucking Century of the Jew — from bra wearing occupation forces to child raping Epstein Mossad honey pots, from Adolph Bibi to Fink-Schwarzman-Ellison, from Stephen Miller to Jared Kushner, then we have the penis piano man, ZioAzovNaziLensky!

The UN? FUCK.

The power imbalance in the UN has deadlocked the governing UN bodies: the 15-member Security Council (SC) and the 193-member General Assembly (GA). All member states of the UN have an equal vote in the GA. In contrast, the SC’s five permanent members have the power to veto any resolution, while the ten remaining members can vote but have no veto power. Therefore, a single UN member state can defeat the will of the vast majority of states.

The SC and GA have by now voted multiple times on resolutions calling for ceasefires in Gaza. On October 18, the US voted against 12 states to defeat the SC’s first resolution for a humanitarian pause. On October 27, 2023, 120 of the 193 member states in the GA voted in favor of a ceasefire. The UN secretary-general invoked the rarely-used Article 99 to call for a ceasefire at the SC, once again defeated by US veto. On December 12, the GA voted again, with 153 states in favor, 10 opposed, and 23 abstaining—the demand for a ceasefire representing the overwhelming majority of the world’s population. On December 22, the Security Council approved a resolution for more humanitarian aid to Gaza that fell short of a call for a ceasefire; the US abstained from voting in favor. Efforts to secure a ceasefire in the UN continue.

Because only the SC can authorize intervention to halt a conflict, a single member state can determine when the UN can halt war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide. However, the United States has used its veto over 30 times to protect Israel against past UN action seeking to halt its aggressions, including prior attacks on Gaza.

The same structural problem prevents the SC from referring a case to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Israel is not a party to the ICC, rendering it immune to prosecution absent SC referral or another state referring an Israeli national to the court for committing crimes in that state’s territory. In the past, the United States has protected Israel against ICC prosecutions, going so far as to issue sanctions against ICC staff for pending investigations into Israel’s settlements in the West Bank and attacks on Gaza.— The failures of the UN in the Israel-Palestine conflict

Dozens of activists for the rights of nature who traveled to the United Nations to participate in a high-level meeting were unexpectedly barred from speaking on April 22nd, Earth Day, due to a supposed “security breach.”

The attendees, each of whom was personally invited by the Bolivian Foreign Minister, had previously been cleared by UN security personnel and issued access passes. Many had traveled thousands of miles — coming from Brazil, Poland, Canada, the UK, Germany, Netherlands, France, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Chile, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Colombia — to attend the meeting.

Callie Veelenturf, a rights of nature advocate and Executive Director of The Leatherback Project, one of a handful of the attendees who was allowed to speak, observed during the meeting that the silencing was ordered by the President of the UN General Assembly. She also observed handwritten notes indicating that pressure from unnamed Republicans may have been involved in the last-minute cancellation.

According to Maria Mercedes Sanchez, the retired 30 year head of the United Nations Harmony with Nature Programme, powerful elements within the UN and the United States are strongly opposed to the rights of nature.

“There are many indications that they want this to fail,” she stated after the event.

Hans Leo Bader, an organizer with the Citizens’ Initiative for the Rights of Nature in Bavaria, was blunt in his message to supporters after the meeting. “Don’t trust international summits and diplomatic showpieces,” Bader said. “Real change grows from below.”

Ben Price, Education Director at the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund and author of the first rights of nature law passed in the United States in 2006, was planning to speak about a new rights of nature law his organization helped draft which is currently in the New York State legislature. But even as a major story of the rights of nature movement that highlights the New York bill was published in Rolling Stone magazine that day, Price’s opportunity to speak was cut short.

He says that UN dialogues like this are mostly a waste of time, and combined with state and federal efforts to pre-empt local decision making and undermine democracy, are one reason why his organization is shifting its orientation towards direct resistance activities in addition to bottom-up rights of nature campaigns.

“This UN program has been locked in cyclical bureaucracy for nearly two decades,” Price says. “At a certain point, in the face of failure to make progress and direct slaps in the face like this, we have to give up on these institutions and focus exclusively on grassroots action.”

As the Trump administration pushes the climate crisis to a breaking point, a novel legal tactic is gaining momentum in the fight.

Will the Great Lakes, one of the natural wonders of the United States, be allowed to go to court to defend their rights to exist on equal terms with the human race? Last month, a bill was introduced in the New York State Assembly granting them and all other bodies of water in New York those legal rights. The waters, the bill declares, “shall possess the unalienable and fundamental rights to exist […] free from human violations.”


Öztürk was detained as part of a crackdown on international students and scholars associated with pro-Palestinian activism. A video of her arrest, which showed masked federal agents handcuffing her outside her off-campus apartment, drew international attention. The American Civil Liberties Union said she plans to continue her studies as her deportation case proceeds.

Öztürk’s lawyers have tied her arrest to an opinion essay she co-wrote a year ago in the campus newspaper, in which she criticized the university’s response to the war in Gaza. Tufts’ president publicly called for Öztürk’s release in a court declaration last month, saying she was in good academic and administrative standing.

The fascism is out in the open. And the head Jews are swarming, man, swarming with their misanthropy:

Stephen Miller, a top White House adviser, said the administration is looking for ways to expand its legal power to deport migrants who are in the country illegally.

“The Constitution is clear — and that of course is the supreme law of the land — that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion,” he told reporters. “So it’s an option that we’re actively looking at.” Miller added that “a lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not.”

Reporters also asked Miller whether he would consider becoming the next national security adviser, he said he isn’t necessarily ruling it out.

But “I’m very thrilled with the job that I currently have, and my focus right now, is I’m supporting Secretary Rubio,” said Miller, referring to the secretary of state who has been tapped to the role in the interim. “Marco and I have become very close friends.”

Horne, and the Foothills of Fascism — Demystifying the Supposedly Righteous Origins of the United States: 1776. 1790s, when the slaver Spain was replaced by America? 1820s, when those trails of tears ripped original people were exterminated? Wwhen did that great project go off the rails?

U$A, set to follow the Judaic AI-MR-VR-AGI agenda to turn Goyim into drone school cuckolds of circumcised monsters.

In September, Doherty-Restrepo resubmitted FIU’s course list. That spreadsheet — also obtained by The Chronicle through a public-records request — includes notes that seem to summarize concerns communicated to her (it didn’t say from whom). For one thing, a course called “Labor and Globalization” is “too focused on struggles/challenges of those in low-wage jobs” and should be revised. Two courses — “The Basic Ideas of Sociology” and “Global Women’s Writing: Gendered Experiences Across Societies and Cultures” — are “too focused on women” and should be removed from the general-education curriculum. (Doherty-Restrepo did not respond to an interview request to discuss her thinking on the subject.)

And so this fucking Ventury of the Jew will be infested with lawyers and judges and fucking arbitors of fascism. SOURCE.

Others, however, were axed because of their subject matter, having fallen victim to a fuzzy and fraught process in which professors, administrators, employees of the university system, and bureaucrats from an obscure state office all played a role. That process produced a narrower general-education curriculum. For faculty critics, it also raised suspicions that an absence of clarity and an urgent deadline had the ultimate effect of eroding their autonomy and injecting partisan politics into curricular decisions.

Defenders of the new Florida law argue that elected lawmakers are the proper stewards for ensuring that students receive a balanced, unbiased general education.

In a federal lawsuit filed earlier this month, six professors argue that SB 266 is “vague, viewpoint-discriminatory” legislation that “restricts academic freedom and imposes the state’s favored viewpoints on public higher education, punishing educators and students for expressing differing and disfavored viewpoints.”

Kill All the White Fucking Brutes:

Meetings between President Donald Trump and foreign leaders can be tense or bruising affairs. But when Trump invited Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to the White House in April, it was all smiles as they joked about mass incarceration.

“Sometimes they say that we imprisoned thousands — I like to say that we actually liberated millions,” Bukele told reporters, referring to his so-called war on gangs in El Salvador.

Trump responded glowingly to Bukele’s remarks.

“Who gave him that line?” he said. “You think I could use that?” — which drew scattered laughter from the room.

Fucking Jews and their psychological warfare on the fucking Palestinians in Latin America. Niggerized blacks and Jew-i-fied Salvadorans.

Although Latin America is home to several prominent politicians of Arab descent, perhaps no country in the region has had as many of Palestinian ancestry play such a key role in national politics as El Salvador.

Salvadorans of multigenerational Palestinian descent have been tremendously influential in shaping the post-civil war political landscape of the small Central American country since 1992.

Some key figures include Schafik Handal, who headed the Legislative Assembly from 1997 to 2006, Tony Saca who served as president from 2004-2009, and now Nayib Bukele who is looking at a second term as president after a controversial but decisive election in early February.

President Bukele has been the most mercurial, avoidant even, about his stance on Palestine. He has been reluctant to comment publicly during crucial moments such as the global Sheikh Jarrah demonstrations that protested the expulsion of Palestinian families from their homes in East Jerusalem in 2021.

A main reason for his position is his effort to maintain favourable relations with Israelis on whom he hopes to continue partnerships in business and technology – not to mention funds for military and police forces.

The Palestinian connection in El Salvador’s politics

Fucking parasites: Israel’s military relations with right-wing groups and regimes spans Latin America from Mexico to the southernmost tip of Chile, starting just a few years after the Israeli state came into existence.

Since then, the list of countries Israel has supplied, trained and advised includes Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela.

But it isn’t only the sales of planes, guns and weapons system deals that characterises the Israeli presence in Latin America.

Where Israel has excelled is in advising, training and running intelligence and counter-insurgency operations in the Latin American “dirty war” civil conflicts of Argentina, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and now Colombia.

In the case of the Salvadoran conflict – a civil war between the right-wing landowning class supported by a particularly violent military pitted against left-wing popular organisations – the Israelis were present from the beginning. Besides arms sales, they helped train ANSESAL, the secret police who were later to form the framework of the infamous death squads that would kill tens of thousands of mostly civilian activists.

Israeli forces’ involvement in El Salvador runs deep

From 1975 to 1979, 83% of El Salvador’s military imports came from Israel, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. By 1981, many of those in the civilian popular political movements who had survived the death squads headed for the hills to become guerrillas.

By 1981 there was an open civil war in El Salvador which took over a decade to resolve through negotiations.

Even though the US was openly backing the Salvadoran Army by 1981, as late as November 1983 it was asking for more Israeli “practical assistance” there, according to a declassified secret document obtained recently by Aljazeera.

Among the assistance asked for were helicopters, trucks, rifles, ammunition, and combat infantry advisors to work at both the “company and battalion level of the Salvadoran Army”.

One notable Salvadoran officer trained by the Israelis was Major Roberto D’Aubuisson, who always held a high opinion of the Israelis. It was Major D’Aubuisson who ordered the assassination of El Salvador’s archbishop amongst thousands of other murders.

“I learned an infinite amount of things in Israel, and to that country I owe part of my essence, my human and military achievements” said Colombian paramilitary leader and indicted drug trafficker Carlos Castao in his ghostwritten autobiography, Mi Confesin.

Israel’s Latin American trail of terror

Jews Killing the Archbishop Romero …. minutes after he was shot celebrating mass at a small chapel located in a hospital called “La Divina Providencia” at around 6:30pm on March 24, 1980.

Just weeks before his murder, Archbishop Romero published an open letter to President Jimmy Carter in the Salvadoran press, asking the United States not to intervene in El Salvador’s fate by arming brutal security forces against a popular opposition movement. Romero warned that U.S. support would only “sharpen the injustice and repression against the organizations of the people which repeatedly have been struggling to gain respect for their fundamental human rights.” Despite his plea, President Carter moved to approve $5 million in military aid less than one year after the archbishop’s murder, as Carter was leaving office in January 1981.

We have a fucking Minyan and Murderous Matzah Ball Bunch of Jews running the country.

These goddamned Jews!

Environmentalists said a ritual at the office of Lee Zeldin, the agency head, highlighted a disconnect between religious principles and looser health and climate protections.

Say what? Which Jews are saving the planet, keeping the waters clean, working on the air? They are ALL transactional, ALL there for some payout or payoff, and to believe otherwise is to be AntiSemetic, for sure, because they, the Jews, the rabbis, the secular and non-secular, they are all in it for the tribe.

Many Jewish religious leaders praised Mr. Zeldin for publicly celebrating his identity. But for Jewish environmental activists, the reflection was on something different: Mr. Zeldin’s role in weakening rules designed to limit pollution and global warming.

The obligation to repair the world, or tikkun olam, is a central concept of Judaism. But in his position as leader of the E.P.A., Mr. Zeldin is overseeing a profound overhaul of the agency. He is seeking to reduce staffing to levels last seen during the Reagan administration and working to weaken or repeal more than 30 regulations — all of which are considered burdensome by oil, gas and coal companies — that protect the air, water and climate.

They are controlling the fucking narrative and the bombing and the fucking surveillence and the fucking world: And so more fucking rabid rabbis explaining their Oppen-Monster-Heimers!

“His repealing dozens of environmental protections is an assault on Jewish values, and I would even say a desecration of Jewish values,” said Rabbi Jennie Rosenn, the founder of Dayenu, a Jewish nonprofit climate organization.

There is no single interpretation of how Judaism addresses environmental protection. But Jewish tradition teaches, as do other religious groups, that people are stewards of God’s creation.

Data, cocksuckers. Jews and their data, their social impact controls, their control over every action, shit, cough, laugh, phone call, traffic stop, mortgage payment, eviction notice, bank statement, report card, health bill, purchase, airport movement, word said-spoken-written-podcasted, this is what the Century of the Jew has wrought.

Members of the Bessemer City Council, tasked with approving or rejecting the rezoning necessary for the proposed data center, have repeatedly refused to comment.

“I thought I answered your question,” said Carla Jackson, a council member who represents the area of Bessemer where the data center is planned. “And I was so sweet about it. Right now, while it’s under litigation, I’m not going to talk about it.”

The Details on Data Centers

In the last decade, technological evolution has quickened pace, with massive data centers now in demand for more intensive computational tasks like cryptocurrency mining and processing artificial intelligence (AI) requests. That digital demand, in turn, has made its way into the physical world as tech companies search for cheap land, electricity, water and resources necessary for the development of large data processing centers like the one being proposed in Bessemer.

A data center is like a city with computer servers as the buildings, requiring network cables, power sources and cooling infrastructure, like roads, power lines and sewer networks in a municipality. Data flows like traffic.

Similar to the police and surveillance in a city, a data center also has security infrastructure—electric fences, anti-ram barriers, infrared cameras, alarms, lights and sometimes even guard stations and other surveillance systems to protect against attacks.

As of early 2025, the United States has more than 5,000 data centers, according to industry reports, compared to around 1,000 just five years earlier. And with that increased demand comes an inevitable, increased demand for resources.

Next-gen Israeli drone goes operational: 30kg payload, two-minute deployment… Oh, those IT and AI Jews!

Flying Production, a subsidiary of Israeli defense giant Elbit Systems, has begun serial production of its new X-intra combat drone, designed to offer enhanced capabilities for frontline operations. The company has not disclosed its customers for the new system, but its smaller drones, including the Tzur model, are already heavily used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in operations in Gaza and along the Lebanese border.

Flying Production was acquired by Elbit Systems in 2019 as part of the company’s strategic expansion into drone technology, one of the fastest-growing sectors in the defense industry. Based in the Rosh HaAyin industrial zone, the company has recorded over 20,000 operational flight hours across its range of drones. While it has supplied systems to several foreign militaries, it has not identified them publicly.

Company CEO Eyal Dahan said that battlefield experience with earlier models—such as the Magni-X and Terminathor—encouraged the company to equip newer systems with high-end electro-optical payloads. Some of those systems, used for surveillance and target acquisition, can cost up to $500,000.

Pope Leo XIV Calls for End to War in First Sunday Blessing as Pontiff

The new pope, speaking to thousands in St. Peter’s Square, echoed themes that Francis, his predecessor, regularly addressed.

“I am deeply pained by what is happening,” said Leo, referring to the war in Gaza. “Let the fighting cease immediately, let humanitarian aid be provided to the exhausted civilian population, and may all hostages be released.”

Source — Al Jazeera.

The late Pope Francis called repeatedly for a ceasefire in Gaza, as well as for the release of the hostages, regularly speaking over video calls with the Christian community in Gaza and meeting with the families of several Israeli hostages.

Francis, who died last month, drew harsh criticism from Jewish and Israeli leaders following his response to the October 7 attack and the subsequent war. Leo’s predecessor endorsed the idea of investigating whether the Israeli campaign in Gaza amounted to genocide, called the humanitarian situation in the Strip “shameful,” and at one point appeared to call Israel’s war-fighting “terrorism.” He also visited a Vatican nativity scene in which Jesus was portrayed wearing a keffiyeh. The display was removed following criticism.

Forget about it, Pope. Jews are working to weaponize all the tools it uses for genocide on your billion-plus Cahtolics.

There’s a massive, $1 billion data center being developed over 131 acres in North Texas. An even larger, 50,000-acre plot near Laredo is slated to host a data center. Out in West Texas, the $500 billion Stargate Project is probably the biggest tech project in the entire Lone Star State.

Add another big-time tech project to the pile. Tract, a data center developer out of Denver, Colorado, announced May 7 that it had purchased a 1,515-acre parcel of land northwest of Lockhart in Caldwell County, Texas. Less than 6 miles from some of the most celebrated barbecue joints in Texas, Tract is looking to build out a center that supports more than 2 gigawatts (GW) of data.

Mother’s Day Poem for Palestine

A Poem for Palestine’s Children, for their mothers, for loss, for grief

by Ahmad Ibsais/ May 11, 2025

Child’s memory

The cold clings to dreams,

Frozen like scattered toys, in the dust of what was home.

While others light candles,

We count the stars through holes

Where our ceiling used to be,

Remember when grandmother

Named constellations for us, told stories

Of ancient heroes who never faced such dragons.

Now, we trace new patterns

In the debris of our street, looking for familiar shapes

In a world reshaped by thunder.

+—+

To be self and other. To feel the power of stories and language. These two themes intertwine throughout literature. Narratives, for example, ofen persuade readers to identify with characters who are their others in some way, sometimes by not being exactly like the person reading, other times by belonging to categories of humanity seemingly far removed from the reader. Writers, too, grapple with otherness of various kinds in their texts, from the problems posed by enemies or strangers to the intimate dilemmas involving parents, children, neighbors, friends, and lovers. Language and the self can be others as well, and perhaps having an acute sense of this otherness in relation to one’s own being and to language is necessary to become a writer.

Grappling with one’s individual peculiarity or alienation difers, however, from having otherness imposed as a collective condition by external, even malevolent forces. A gulf also exists between those who would distance themselves from demonized others and those who are stigmatized in such a fashion. These Norton Lectures, carried out as both criticism and autobiography, are my attempt to think through what it means to write and read from the position of an other, which is for me the starting point of an ethical and political art.

Weaving between criticism and autobiography refects my career as a scholar and my self-education as a writer, which began with being a refugee and the son of refugees feeing from Việt Nam afer the end of a war. Both academia and writing ofered me havens from the travails of war and colonialism, as well as displacement and racism. But academia and writing were not only spaces of refuge. They were also sites of friction and struggle where I sought to break down the distinctions between the scholarly and the literary, as well as the artistic and the political, fumbling my way toward becoming a writer.

The belief that stories had the power to save me was one of my motivations: Save me by diverting me from boredom, despair, and loneliness, routine matters aggravated by the drama of refugee and postwar life and how it afected my parents. Rescue me by ofering art and the imagination as alternative forms of reality that would allow me to analyze and depict this drama, and in so doing come to understand that war and the making of refugees are not incidental or marginal to the life of nation-states, but central.

This belief about stories offering salvation might be sentimental and self-serving for a storyteller, but if so, the sentimentality is alleviated by the possibility that stories could also save others by helping us confront, or at least articulate, the terror of abusive power and its manifestations in capitalism and colonialism, war and authoritarianism, patriarchy and its norms of sex and gender. Ultimately, stories could also brace us for the mystery of the end of our lives and those of our loved ones.

But if stories wield this power, they also have the capacity to destroy us or our others, our demons, our monsters. Stories and language have always been weaponized by individuals and societies, and anyone who has ever been marked as an other or outsider knows well the capacity of words, images, and narratives to caricature, marginalize, and eliminate, actions of symbolic violence that justify and foreshadow the physical violence conducted against those deemed less than human.

If my literary dreams began in the innocence of boyhood, with an uncomplicated love for enrapturing stories, my transformation into a President and Fellows of Harvard College writer was only possible through recognizing the complex power of stories and how they had shaped my own otherness, both the kind imposed on me by forces beyond my control and the otherness already hidden inside. Which form of otherness came frst, I do not know, but part of the journey from innocence to experience meant understanding that the power of writing, once in my hands and those of many of the writers who inspired or provoked me, could be dangerous, even treacherous, since writing is itself an other to the writer.

In these lectures, I examine a selection of writers who have dealt with some of these matters and who have been meaningful to me, from the very famous and long departed to the still living whose literary fate remains to be determined. I begin with duality and speaking for others, challenges that I have also addressed in the book I was fnishing when the invitation to deliver the Norton Lectures arrived: A Man of Two Faces: A Memoir, a History, a Memorial. Readers of that book will see that it provides the material for part of the frst lecture and all of the second lecture, a transition that sets up To Save and to Destroy as a sequel where I continue working through some preoccupations around writing and otherness. Subsequent lectures address Israel’s war on Gaza and Palestinians, the crossing of borders as both a migratory and literary act, the importance of being minor, and the possibility of fnding joy in otherness.

The isolation that being other ofen produces and that writing requires can be lonely. But being lonely difers from being alone, which is a solace that writers and readers ofen seek. Their love of stories, typically experienced in private, paradoxically ofers them the chance to create a literary community once they emerge from their solitude. As a result, the world is transformed for writers and readers, which is not to say that the world as a whole is remade. That kind of world-making requires readers to put their books down and take a diferent kind of action. But the gears of the world and the gears of the imagination interlock, and the scenarios fashioned in literary texts might yet impact the world that inspired them. So it is that the solidarity found among those like-minded others who create and read literature may fnd a corollary and a parallel with social and political movements that contest the imposed conditions of otherness, movements that depend on the storytelling ability to name injustice and to imagine a more just world.

Deploying this imagination to write through and about otherness might be daunting, given how otherness is most likely irresolvable, from the maze of our own psyches to the human need to create others against whom we defne ourselves with violence of various kinds and degrees. My own otherness has ofen been perplexing and troublesome, as the task of writing has likewise been for me. And yet otherness and writing, along with the urgency of building literary and worldly communities, ofer enough pleasure—a sometimes painful pleasure, to be sure—that I continue to heed their call, not least because one result of working at writing and writing through otherness is the possibility of creating beauty from horror and tragedy, a beauty found in both art and solidarity.

So in our present moment we have Donald Trump and everything that he represents, and all the global crises, from Israel to Ukraine to Russia to Sudan. It is not to trivialize anything to say that these things have happened before, or the fact that millions of people have died as a result of similar things happening before. It is to say that people have endured through their art, through their politics, and through the struggles of simply trying to ensure that their families and communities survive in every way that they can. I find hope in that.

Viet Thanh Nguyen feels the need to clarify a thing or two. In November, a Hebrew translation of the Vietnamese-American writer’s 2017 short story collection “The Refugees” was released by the Israeli publishing house Babel Publishers. But this came just weeks after he had joined over 1,000 prominent authors — including Arundhati Roy, Sally Rooney, and Ocean Vuong — in signing a call to boycott Israeli cultural institutions, including publishers.

The signatories vowed to refuse collaboration with institutions that are “complicit in violating Palestinian rights, including through discriminatory policies and practices or by whitewashing and justifying Israel’s occupation, apartheid, or genocide,” or that have “never publicly recognized the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people as enshrined in international law.” Suddenly, Nguyen found himself violating his own pledge when it mattered most, as Israel’s onslaught on Gaza continued to devastate the strip, killing over 45,000 Palestinians and wounding more than 106,000 others.

Nguyen had, in fact, already expressed support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement back in June 2016, calling the occupation one of the “contemporary injustices that we struggle to remember.” Then, too, his remarks preceded the publication by Babel of a Hebrew translation of his Pulitzer Prize-winning debut novel, “The Sympathizer,” the following year.

Nguyen made headlines last October, as Israel launched its assault on Gaza following the Hamas attack on southern Israel, when he signed an open letter calling for an immediate ceasefire. Just days later, the renowned New York Jewish cultural center, 92nd Street Y, canceled a scheduled event with him, prompting a number of authors to withdraw from planned appearances and staff to resign in protest. For Nguyen, this also marked the beginning of what he describes as a period of profound “introspection” that forced him to interrogate his relationship to BDS.

Refusing interviews with what he calls the “mainstream Israeli media,” Nguyen knows his decision to support the boycott, juxtaposed with the publication of his work in Israel, not only carries immediate repercussions — it demands grappling with questions of accountability, complicity, and the role of writers and cultural movements in political movements, especially during times of mass violence. His position on Israel today, as he put it in an interview with +972 Magazine, is unequivocal: no collaboration without a clear renunciation of colonization and apartheid.

The interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Babel is considered a left-wing Israeli publishing house. It has published books by Naomi Klein, Howard Zinn, even Mahmoud Darwish in Hebrew. I’m curious how you see your relationship to an Israeli audience today in this moment of genocide. How do you envision actually talking to them, if at all? How do you reconcile the need for a boycott with the importance of maintaining a dialogue with Israeli authors, publishers, or intellectuals who support Palestinian rights but who might not answer the demands of this particular pledge because of its potential financial repercussions or because of all the other pressures that the Israeli left faces?

Viet Thanh Ngugen:

I have a lot of sympathy for the Israeli left. I think about this issue analogically: I would be totally in support of a movement to boycott the United States. We deserve to be boycotted. I think that everything that the BDS movement accuses Israel of doing, the United States has done and still does in many circumstances. It has become normalized in the United States to support genocidal regimes; Israel is not the first in this regard. We are still a settler-colonial society, in which the history of genocide is embedded into our everyday structures and policies.

In this hypothetical scenario, what would my reaction be if the United States were boycotted? And what would I want from people who were critical of the United States? If the stance was that there are conditions that Americans must meet in order to engage with the rest of the world, I would want to know what those conditions are. And if those conditions were, “You have to recognize that settler colonialism exists, you have to recognize that genocide is a practice of your society, you have to support decolonization, you have to support indigenous rights, you have to support the Land Back movement,” I would say, “Yes, absolutely.”

These are things we need to do. And if we don’t, then perhaps we should be persona non grata in various circumstances. That is the penalty that we should pay as Americans. Would I feel bad? Yes, of course, if [it meant] opportunities were foreclosed for conversation and dialogue and trips.

This is my approach to the Israeli situation, and I’ve constructed this analogy out of a structural connection. Of course, the Israeli left is still embedded in the structural oppression of Palestinians and of the occupation of Palestine. So even with all of the genuine sympathies I assume that many in the Israeli left feel for Palestinians, [there is a need] to recognize the complicity of every part of Israeli society with what is taking place, and to make a statement in that regard.

They ALL need to be shot, Jew or Arab that prize this shit: Satellite Images Show Palace Emerging at World’s Biggest Construction Site.

Between January 2019 and October 2024, a remote stretch of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast has transformed from barren desert into what appears to be a sprawling luxury palace complex. The 2019 satellite image, via Google Earth, shows a sparse outpost with a small pier and minimal development. By 2024, the area features a large palace, helipads, manicured gardens, a golf course, and extensive landscaping, including artificial lagoons and tree-lined roads. The coastline has been re-engineered, and multiple villas now dot the site.

As satellite images continue to document the progress of the palace, the future of Neom and Saudi Arabia’s broader economic vision remains uncertain. With oil prices remaining well below expectations, the kingdom must navigate these financial challenges while striving to complete the Neom megacity and fulfill its broader diversification goals.

I was just in Ashland, Oregon, at the two fire stations there. Pretty good guys. So, around 1,600 calls yearly a few years ago, and now, 6,200 a year. Those fire trucks? The largest fire trucks on the market in the US can easily exceed more than $1,000,000. Way past that amount, and there’s a four year wait. Think 2.5 million fully equipped: A Four Year Wait to ge a 750 gallon engine like the one below.

It costs $20,000 just for safety and fire fighting equipment for one volunteer fire fighter. Alas, while the fucking Jews do the financial felonies and the fascists like Bezos do the fucking off-shoring for his fucked up anti-business model, well well, the aging in place in the tens of millions and all those other communities are shit out of luck in this upside down motherfucking world, man.
