how do we count the days of endless war? i guess they figure we'll stop counting, knowing it's endless, and time's a-waste in counting, and we don't count, anyway.

 i think i'll see it as a memorial.

 T. was so still today. She didn't stir at all while we were there. I didn't see her breathing, and I held my breath lightly so as not to disturb her, and I thought of how we'll miss her, in her room, out of this world, where we stop by, where nothing changes, in a way, and days repeat, a room where time almost stops, almost, where time with T. will one day be a memory. 

 I pray for Professor Marandi and all the people of Iran. 

If Iran is destroyed, if the democratizers of genocide win, I don't want to think of what comes next. What comes after genocide? The kingdom of God? 

 Old T-Rump's goose is cooked.

 The U.S. and Israel are continuing the Gaza genocide in Iran.

 Around the world today, people are living and breathing the consequences of how the great reshuffle has rewired societies – from resource depletion to racism, gender inequalities, prosperity levels, and the global pecking order. In the coming decades, addressing problems linked to these shifts will require recognising their origins and crafting policies that turn land into a force for positive social change.

Land Power

 Today we are in the middle of a ‘great reshuffle’ of land. Over the past two centuries, nearly every society has reallocated land ownership and property rights. And because of the power that land confers to those who hold it, this reshuffling has set societies on distinct trajectories of development. It’s helped some countries become more egalitarian and productive, whereas for others it has embedded racial hierarchies, deep inequalities and economic stagnation.

 it's pretty much the same, inside out.

Song of the day, Goin' down south, by RL Burnside. 

It can be easy to forget the significance of the ground beneath our feet – and how much it has shaped the societies we live in. For most people, their home is their house – or their landlord’s. It is bought, sold or rented along with the land underneath it, passing between families over the years. But at some point – and probably several times – there have been abrupt changes to that seemingly permanent arrangement. Land tenure can be profoundly reshuffled. It has in the past and it will be again in the future.

 i use to feel a small fall inside when people said whatever, but i think they mean what will be will be. i use to not like that song, but i like when trudy sings it and i sing along. so i wrote twelve posts the day after the war started, and the following day, four. already i'm not sure what day this is, is this day four? how long will we be counting the days of genocide. how long the endless war.

 Operation Epic Fury sounds like a vapid Hollywood war porn flic.

It's all part of god's plan, the combat commander told the troops. Donald Trump was anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armaggedon and mark his return to earth.

 Obama says there are extraterrestrials, but he has not seen them. By the way, where is Netanyahu? 

The moon was full floating up over the lake when we watched Notfilm. There was a total eclipse in the wee hours, but it was notvisible, cloudhidden. Still we woke three times to watch it, and made a bottle of moonwater.

 

 The U.S. and Israel killed 180 school girls aged 7-12 in Iran. The school had decided to close but it was bombed before the parents could come to pick up the girls. 

 So we watched Notfilm by Ross Lipman, about Samuel Beckett's Film. R. said I thought this was a short, and I said no, that's Film. After two hours Olive came out and started pawing the lamp. 

Operation Epic Genocidal Zionist Fury.

 

 everything is normal-seeming in the neighborhood. you would never know what is happening in the world. how's everything? how you doing? good, good. awesome. how you doing? fantastic. and i look at the dog, and i look at the floor. i look at the sky, i look at the ground.

 The war was planned December 29 in Mar-a-Lago. It's now a firestorm gone out of control. This is what the Epstein class has decided the fate of Earth will be: catastrophe.

 You're not supposed to see me. I'm hiding. 

 Where's Netanyahu? Does Iran know?

 The United States of Israel regime is doomed, but the disaster capitalist Epstein class is making a killing. Where is Netanyahu? Does Iran know? Bibi said if this all goes sour they will get the surprise of their lives. It has gone terrifically wrong, as the Epstein class cheers.

 why would they bomb a school full of girls. it must be a mistake. what would be the strategic reason for bombing a school full of girls. 

unbelonging is a homeland.

 We watch two films by Charlie Kaufman and Eva H.D., How to Shoot a Ghost, and Jackals & Fireflies. I say they really captured something about Greece and R. hears grief, and I say that too. I remembered walking on goat paths on Amorgos Island, finding a bone in red dirt, falling and breaking my gold wire-rimmed glasses, finding a windblown book, The Last Temptation of Christ, in a decayed hut, and coming upon an open grave of a child in the middle of the path, a wooden box with a tiny dusty skeleton exposed to the sun and air. I thought about those things even while I watched How to Shoot a Ghost.

i get the feeling people in the gaslight nation only think about the price of gas, and they forget they're hiding.

 I learned some, but I had to stop looking at the empire show. It's quite taxing on the heart and soul. Now I'm reading about Margaret C. Anderson and the Little Review, where Joyce's Ulysses first appeared and many anarchist artists. Anderson used to hang out down the street on 57th and Stony at an artists colony of huts from the worlds' fair days. Anarchy got pigeonholed as terrorism but it just means without overlords. As we see plainly it's the overlords who terrorize the anarchists, not the reverse. Here's to art and anarchy!

 Lindsay Graham knows the biggest supporters of terrorism on earth are the U.S., Israel, and the Epstein class.

 The terrifying thing now is, if the United States of Israel zionist regime loses the war, the psychopathic rulers might use the nuclear option. The zionist regime must be stopped or they will destroy humanity. Zionism is genocide, it's hostile to life. Israel has no future, because it's based on death. The same with the empire.

 Olive had a box. She sits where she sat yesterday in her box. Now all she has is crumpled paper that came in her good old box.

 Take heart, it may take a minute, but the Epstein regime will be defeated, Israel will disintegrate, and Palestine and Iran will be free.

 We just watched The Voice of Hind Rajab. It's been 876 days of genocide. The cruelty is unthinkable. It doesn't end. The story has to be told. Our government is genocidal, but people have to have humanity, or we're all dead. The genocide of a whole population is unthinkable, your mind goes dark and numb, but you can't stop thinking about Hind. 

 i believe the zionist military industrial complex done gone a big ass step beyond, gnome sane.

 This is not a democracy. This is a genocidal imperium. This is rule by war machine, by chaos, by terror, by fire. 

They live by lies.

They don't care if they are believed.

The zionist war expands. Netanyahu flees Israel. Harry the rock snake has a new head. Resistance grows.
