Roaming Charges: The Delicate Sound of Plunder

3 weeks ago | counterpunch.org | Jeffrey St. Clair

“If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.”– Steven Wright+ What’s happening here? 1. A hunter-killer team raid in Fallujah2. An ICE raid on a taqueria in Minneapolis, MN+ We were told that the deportations would focus on criminals (not students, children, and people who cut lawns, scrub floors, pick strawberries, or work construction) in order to protect public safety. But that was never the point.
Gaza: Cuando los muertos hablan y los vivos se niegan a escuchar

3 weeks ago | aporrea.org | Jeffrey St. Clair

El problema de escribir sobre Gaza es que las palabras no pueden explicar lo que está sucediendo allí. Tampoco pueden hacerlo las imágenes, ni siquiera las más desgarradoras y conmovedoras. Porque lo que hay que explicar es lo inexplicable. Lo que hay que explicar es el silencio ante el horror. Israel ha sido descaradamente franco sobre sus planes de someter a Gaza, despoblarla de palestinos y apoderarse de la Franja. Israel no va a cambiar.

"Israel" ha sido descaradamente franco sobre sus planes de someter a Gaza, despoblarla de palestinos y apoderarse de la Franja para sí mismo. "Israel" no va a cambiar. No se ha desviado de este curso genocida desde el 8 de octubre de 2023. Durante 19 meses, todos los palestinos han sido un objetivo porque "Israel" quiere limpiar Gaza de palestinos. Por lo tanto, todos pueden ser bombardeados. Todos pueden pasar hambre. A todos se les puede negar la atención médica y los elementos básicos para la vida.

When the dead speak and the living refuse to listen

3 weeks ago | bangladeshpost.net | Jeffrey St. Clair

The problem with writing about Gaza is that words can’t explain what’s happening in Gaza. Neither can images, even the most gut-wrenching and heartbreaking. Because what needs to be explained is the inexplicable. What needs to be explicated is the silence in the face of horror. Israel has been brazenly upfront about its plans to subdue Gaza, depopulate it of Palestinians, and seize the Strip for itself. Israel will not change. It hasn’t deviated from this genocidal course since October 8, 2023.

Roaming Charges: White Lies About White Genocide

1 month ago | counterpunch.org | Jeffrey St. Clair

I think it’s very sad, actually. I’m surprised that it wasn’t—you know—the public wasn’t notified a long time ago, because to get to stage 9, that’s a long time. I just had my physical. You saw that. You saw the results of that particular test. I think that test is standard to pretty much anybody getting a physical—a good physical. We had the doctors at the White House and over at Walter Reed, which is a fantastic hospital, do it. I did a very complete physical, including a cognitive test.
Return to Alcatraz: a Photo Essay

1 month ago | counterpunch.org | Jeffrey St. Clair

Always turned on by his most extreme ideas, Trump wants to reopen Alcatraz as a federal prison. He apparently got this twisted idea after watching Don Siegel’s 1979 film with Clint Eastwood, Escape from Alcatraz, one of the best prison movies ever made, a film with a deep sensitivity to those who live under confinement.
Roaming Charges: Sturm und Drang Warnings

+ A decapitated dolphin was found on a North Carolina beach this week. Officials are offering a $20,000 reward for information on its death and mutilation. Have they checked the back of RFK, Jr’s Bronco? + While Trump tries to annex Canada and Greenland and gives the green light for a foreign mining company to destroy the Apache sacred site of Oak Flat, my president by proxy, Claudia Sheinbaum, is returning thousands of acres of land to indigenous tribes in Mexico.

Seems appropriate. Are they aiming at Ireland, the Malvinas or Meghan and Harry's palazzo in Ojai?
