It has driven the Israelis mad that their global support is being eroded by Palestinians recording their own genocide and broadcasting the footage to the world. If they think they can get away with keeping Gaza in the dark they absolutely will do so, while continuing to seek out further ways to hide the truth from the world. Reading by Tim Foley.

Well it looks like the US is on the precipice of war with Iran again. US officials are telling the press that they anticipate an impending Israeli attack on Iran while the family members of US military personnel are being assisted with evacuation from bases in the region. Reading by Tim Foley.

At the beginning of this month, Israel and its apologists ferociously denied claims that IDF troops had fired upon civilians seeking aid at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site, killing 31 people.

On June 3, Israeli forces again opened fire on civilians seeking aid, reportedly killing at least 27 people. The US/Israeli-backed GHF temporarily suspended operations after this spate of mass shootings. On June 8, Israeli forces again fired upon civilians seeking aid at two separate distribution points in Gaza, killing twelve. On June 9, Israel and Israeli-backed forces opened fire on a crowd at an aid site in Gaza, killing 14.

While the Waymos burn While the air over LA fills with smoke and teargas and Reaper drones While Israelis hand each other trophies for not murdering Greta Thunberg While Palantir stocks soar and insect populations plummet While the news man writes headlines with increasingly creative phrasing While people with nothing to lose sharpen guillotine blades While the bank boys ask why the robot armies aren’t ready yet While keffiyeh-clad heroes march to Gaza While secret saints work secret miracles in the margins While a sleeping giant stirs within our depths While the flames dance in Buddha’s eyes While my peacock feather heart opens like a fuchsia bud While the tears roll down my cheeks for the dead and the dying While the firelight dances on my walls and the rebels dance in the fire I open my strange palms to our strange future and welcome it Come what may.

I can't believe it's 2025 and people are still worried about offending Zionists. Oh gosh I'd better issue an apology, I've upset the people who are cheerleading an active genocide. Better be careful how I word this or I might seem insensitive to people who think it's fine to bomb hospitals and burn children alive. Oh no I can't say that because if I do I'll be in hot water with the "intentionally starving civilians is good" crowd. Reading by Tim Foley.

Ultimately it comes down to courage. Being brave enough to stare squarely at the horrors of Gaza. To face the harsh reality that we are ruled by monsters and our civilization is diseased. To bring our own inner darkness into the light of consciousness where it can be healed. Reading by Tim Foley.

There's no reason to take seriously anything Elon Musk says during a textbook case of narcissistic collapse, but for the record if anyone in Washington is likely to have been blackmailed by Epstein it's Donald John Trump. Reading by Tim Foley.

It's amazing how creative these freaks get when they need to publicly exonerate Israel and its western allies of their crimes. The IDF commits a war crime and suddenly these stuffy mass media editors who've never created any art in their lives transform into poets, bending and twisting the English language to come up with lines that read more like Zen koans than reporting on an important news event.
