2024 solar eclipse by Timothy A. Clary / Getty Images.This is a long, extended metaphor comparing the sunsetting of American (re: White) Empire to the sunsetting of, well, the sun. Our sun, like America, is a violent superpower that will at some point implode. Before that point, however, it will expand in a toxic bubble of firepower; precisely what's happening ...
Image via the martyr poet, Refaat AlareerI think of Jesus often. I think of how the Romans and their Jewish client state thought they defeated Jesus by killing him. Not just defeated him, but humiliated him, left him out there to be publicly tortured, mocked, and shamed. They crucified him like a slave. But look at the world now. Rome's ...
Smooth criminalI left a chicken to thaw in the sink, covered with a cutting board, and went to sleep. I wondered why the cat didn't come to bed, but at least nobody was pouncing on my feet. Turns out that the maid had removed the board and the cat was downstairs, having a fancy feast… “A cat in Dragonese is ...
These dumbasses are constantly interrupting me, consider this post an interruptionWhen I wake up the cat follows me downstairs and I let the dog in and they both get into some form of chaos while I'm trying to pray. If I'm lucky, no one's destroyed the tissue boxes or taken a sneaky shit. On a good day, they just chase ...
A corrupt American Congressman meeting his corrupters and planning corruption in the landWhatever they say in public, the 'Israelis' and Americans (same White Empire) are having meetings about massacres. They're having PowerPoints about poets. They're using cartography to mark cardiologists for execution, and wiping entire hospitals off the map entirely. They're keeping daily journals of all the journalists they kill, ...
The Red Mosque in Colombo, by Sandeepa VithanageI've been fasting for Ramadan, so 23 days now. What this means, practically, is that I don't take food or water from around 5 AM to 6:30, despite it being the hottest season in Sri Lanka. What this means, personally, is I have a better understanding of my Muslim friends, who I've seen ...
The Rules-Based Order: “Bodies & body parts that we saw around the Alshifa hospital” HossamShabat. Peace be with the martyrs. This was a loved one and I'm sorry to post them like this. Let them be a witness, and may they be blessed in the better life to come.During a UN mandated ceasefire, after a ruling from the International Court ...
Sandow Birk, Thomas Jefferson at Monticello Plantation and the Last Jog of Ahmaud ArberyUkraine is supposed to be a battle for democracy, but what are they fighting for? Ukraine has suspended elections, banned opposition parties, and is run (into the ground) by foreign arms dealers. There's no visible democracy, it's all just mercenary marketing. Those foreigners—like the British—are supposed to ...
The future won't have these fossil-fuelled dinosaurs at allThe gods are trying to tell us something, like 'fuck you'Planes falling out the sky and ships crashing are not anomalies. These are signs of the times. This is the new normalcy. It's not just Boeing or Baltimore, the Panama Canal is running dry and the Red Sea is off-limits cause western ...
When the money stopsThe American conception of nirvanaTo understand America, just follow the money. America gives a fuck about people dying—even its own people dying—because America is not run by people. America is 'for the property, by the property' and always has been. At founding only propertied men could vote, and property still runs the place.We saw this quite clearly ...
For real this timeCrossing The Swamp, by Jon McNaughtonAs discussed earlier, the old dog is chasing the Presidential car again, and this time the fleas have learned how to drive. A group of conservative organizations have released a nearly 1,000 page document, personnel database, and training program called Project 2025. This is what the next Trump Administration plans to do, ...
The Nazis of our timeHamas breaking out of the concentration camp, which was punished by 'Israel' turning it into an extermination campLiving memory of the Nazis is fading, but the traumatic memories of the 'Israelis' are just forming. Nazi, as a shorthand for 'evil' is an artifact of the last century, but this century is already making 'Israel' into an ...
The unending trauma of the Gaza GenocideI was watching a child escaping from the latest attack on a hospital in Gaza, saying “I swear, I’m scared, I can’t take this. I just want to leave.” Me too child. Me too. Allah be with you. God knows humanity is not. It has been nearly six months of this, of unremitting imperial ...
An introduction to destruction“The Republican Club” by Andy Thomas of Carthage, Missouri.In 2016, Donald Trump was like a dog who caught a car. He really didn't know what to do with the Presidency, failed to appoint people to key posts, and wasted his mandate without mandem. In 2024, the big dog is running again, and this time the fleas on ...
Most high and most lowTo be fair, the cat is usually the problemThis month I've been observing Ramadan, which means praying five times a day. As I prostrate, the dog comes to sniff my face and then the cat pounces on the dog and then they're all over the place. They're annoying but it also tells me something. To humble ...
Same shit, different day (January 20, 2017)At some point, an America President will shut down the southern border, ban social media, and openly wage genocide and/or start World War III. And it won't be Trump that starts it. Biden has already done Trump's homework. Biden has already laid the legislative groundwork for a President shutting down the border and banning ...
Starting with the worst, 'Israel'Two flags, one gunThe White Empire hides behind myriad flags, but these are false flags. Any country with imperial troops on its soil is not an independent country. Any country beholden to imperial coin is not an independent country. This sadly encompasses most countries in this dollarized, militarized world, but some countries more than most. Historically, ...
What the colonizer snitch George Orwell got rightGeorge Orwell in the colonial police, third from left, top I thinkWhen I see atrocity after atrocity committed against the people of Gaza I think of the future we live in. It's as George Orwell described in 1984, “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human ...
The illusion of the economyA Buddha statue in Bangkok (Via)I keep thinking of a verse from the Dhammapada, “Viewing the non-essential as the essential and the essential as the non-essential they—nourished on false thinking—do not arrive at the essential.” I think about this because it seems to describe the world around me. As the Dhammapada continues, “Who is always gathering ...
The central illusion of our timesThe circle of lifeNatural life is full of circles. One creature's death in another creature's dinner. One creature's shit is another creature's manna. One creature's waste is another creature's energy. Everything must die, but in digestion as much as reproduction, everything is reborn again and again. Each death is a line with a beginning and ...
