Israeli Settlers Threaten Mutiny. Yes, They’re Quite Nuts.

PLEASE watch this. I’m kind of surprised it exists, and Bob Simon actually says a few meaningful things (eg. ‘but the Israelis have the guns.’) – and you’ll see just how insane some of this is…a settler leader promises a MUTINY of the Israeli military, etc. They’re really insane, completely and absolutely insane. Bob Simon...

The Monkey On Your Back

If you’ve been paying any attention, you already know that last week, while Joe Biden was in Israel to supposedly help move along the peace process – Israel declared, as though by accident, that it was ‘allowing’ the construction of 1,600 settler housing units in East Jerusalem. Now the Israelis know damn well that the...

Mamnou3 El Intizar

Work continues on Mamnou3 El Intizar. I want to thank everybody for their comments and downloads, and I can assure you that the album is almost finished, and I’ll start working out release options pretty soon. So far, the track listing includes tracks such as ‘Shafshaq’, ‘Ghali’, and ‘Be3eed’ – which you may have heard...

Sultans and Scarves

Three weeks ago, an Egyptian Muslim mother and wife, four months with child, was stabbed to death in Dresden, the civilian city bombed to the ground by the allies during World War II. She was stabbed in full view of her son and husband, and when her husband rushed to defend her, he himself was...

Ahmedinejad, The U.S., and The Iranian Elections

It’s an easy enough lie to digest. Ahmedinejad is a nutcase. Look at him, he’s been wearing the same jacket for years, ever since we ever laid eyes on him. He’s unshaven, looks kind of gruffy. He exhudes an informal, almost clumsy air and doesn’t seem like much of an orator. He’s soft spoken enough...

Tele-Vision

Posted 1 year, 3 months ago in Media

Sit down. Tune in, and grab a beer. See what you might otherwise miss. Give us 30 seconds – and with one blank frame every thirty – we’ll put you up into a deep hypno-idiotic state during which you’ll be up to 25 times more susceptible to The Creed. Photons building crude patterns, chiseling into your organism. Give us your minute cause we’ll take away your day. Believe what you will as long as it’s true. And that is what we offer. ‘Truth at 25 frames a second’ the man said, and he didn’t even know how much he’d meant it. Information and misinformation collude and leave you confused, or, a worst case scenario, leave you bright, blessed in lucidity, and full of insights. A new preacher in our midst. The Cretan Liar, twice bound and still unfulfilled. A dramatic re-inaction of a flop. Space: The Final Something and in Ethiopia the children are still dead and dying, but omnipotence has it’s rewards and telekinesis is as close as your remote control, and the kids aren’t there anymore because the drug lord is about to get shot by the good guy. All bad things come to a swift end. Tele-Vision: The Gaze from Afar, seeing at a distance, keeping a distance. In safety and in trust, forever pledged in holy media-money. A craft; artful even – sometimes – but always a taker. The mediator. That which comes between one thing and another, getting a cut on both sides.

Snow Blind Bliss.
