i find it very interesting that geoffrey baer in his lakefront tour completely ignores the obamachron. he shows obama's coronation, with thousands of people cheering, and recalls marshall field's advocacy of a lakefront park forever open and free for the people, free of buildings and privatization, and leaves a dead blank space where obama's monument lies, as though to erase this monstrous violation of the people's park.

law of genocide. |
In addition to seeking to destroy the protective application of international law to the Palestinian people, Israel appears set on destroying the very international framework created to ensure compliance with international law with profound consequences that reverberate far beyond Palestine and Palestinians.

If Israel gets away with genocide, all of that nascent project of a world governed by human rights and the rule of law crumbles, and then it's every person for themselves.

Ockham would note that our paralysis stems not from inability, but from an ideological refusal to simplify—a preference for the familiar agony of collapse over the uncertain pains of adaptation.

olive woke me before dawn. maybe the wind. she jumped on top of the dresser and threw my elephant on skateboard down. i yell get down and she sidles up by my side. after breakfast and birdwatch she's back in her blue chair snoozing. i get like six hours sleep, maybe it's enough, but i feel groggy. r. says when have you ever not felt groggy. you're right. maybe since i was an actual kid?

before i went to meet charlie i washed my face and changed my shirt and r. asked if i was nervous. i said do you think she won't remember me? of course, she'll be so happy. she was happy. i was happy. i guess i was nervous though. i wanted to get a lot of pictures but the camera was on the wrong setting. when darrel went to his office we went by the palestine meeting and charlie cried. we walked a little but it's not the same. she wanted to go back to darrel. it's only natural. she's been through some big change, and i'm not the one anymore. i'm a friend from her past. the last time she cried for me. now she's darrel's dog.
Taghūt is a state of mind, a way of thinking, a way of being and walking dominantly on the land as opposed to living in symbiotic relation with it.
Taghūt resides inside every one of us when we remain silent in the face of inconceivable, unutterable, evil and reproduce it when we refuse to speak and act against injustice.
people talk of escape from america while ice is disappearing people to supermax torture prisons where the only escape is death. when i criticized the evil empire decades ago people said why don't you leave. when i criticized the war on terror twenty years ago, they got indignant and said why don't you leave. when i criticized the present genocide they said why don't you go to gaza. the same people who said why don't you leave are talking about escape. i won't leave. there's no place the evil empire won't reach.
