We saw this thing coming, didn't we, but we couldn't believe our eyes. Yeah, like the natives when the colonists landed.

Still happening before our eyes.

Yeah, but it seems like long ago.

 It's still about Gaza, isn't it?

 You Tube banned the Lego Iran videos. It's kind of hard to boycott You Tube, but everyone should watch the Lego Iran videos—they're brilliant. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

 We stand with Palestine Action. They are not the terrorists. They are trying to stop the merchants of death from committing genocide. Max Blumenthal says, I personally believe what they have done is the contemporary equivalent of sabotaging the railways to Auschwitz.

 —it shall come to pass, he said, because it will be, and that is all, I don't love you and I don't hate you, as far as I'm concerned you can all go to hell, if one falls down, then another will take his place, I see in advance what will be, I hear in advance what will be, and it will be sans joy and sans solace, so that nothing like this will ever come about ever again,

Baron Wenckheim's Homecoming

 ,indeed, already at the beginning he would speak as, according to expectations, he was compelled to—and as for rebellion—his voice suddennly became very subdued—if anyone even contemplates a plan against me, or if the desire would be manifest, even in a suggestion, that anything should be executed any differently than how I want it to be—well, do not even let this appear in your dreams, cast it out from your minds, or at least try to cast it out, because if you make any attempts, the ending will be woeful, and this is a warning, although not a benevolent one,*

Baron Wenckheim's Homecoming

*and it goes on, a sentence may be pages long.

 

 

How many times have you thought, This has happened before, and will happen again, and this will keep on happening. How often have you felt inside, this is eternity. This dirt, this cat, rescued from the park below, healed and raised on the 15th floor, looking down from this window, this pink cross, this pink dashed line, this pink cross again. It may be gone tomorrow, but it was here before.

 I remember a fellow on Gabriola Island who loaned me a cute little trailer and helped me move it to the horse pasture where I lived among the horses. He thought he was Jesus. He swallowed LSD and prayed on some one's lawn and knocked on the door saying he was the savior and was met with a shotgun and the island policeman was called. He was a sweet guy. I wonder where he is today. Trump thinks he's Jesus too, though he's nasty. He's just doing his perverse song and dance. Later he said he thought he was a doctor because he helps people. We don't have to pray to a specific god, but we better pray, as we are in a world of trouble now.

I went to the library to pick up László Krasznahorkei's Baron Wenckheim's Homecoming. I wish me godspeed. I paused at Pebble Beach. Handala is still there.

 

Everything he touches turns to fool's gold. 

Everything he touches dies.

Blessed are the peacemakers. 

 Look and listen well, the antichrist is desperate. 

Zionism is ruining all our lives.

Hey, dude, love it or leave it.

 Netinyahu's zionist genocide expands to Lebanon. 

 Mad Fake Jesus Trump announces a blockade of the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. M.F.J. Trump brings about the disaster capitalist global collapse. 

an' The Hog of the Forsaken
got no reason to cry
he got to chew the angels
fallen from on high
he ain't waitin' for no answer
bakin' woeful pie
pie of eyesight, pie blue-black
whoa that pie, the pie of bye-n-bye

Michael Hurley, Hog of the Forsaken

 Trump, the genocidal marauder, is cosplaying Jesus, mocking the world. Pray for us.

 Palestine activists face prison for trying to stop the genocide.

 You are America. No, You are America. Ah, my heart is heavy! Me too! Have a nice rest of your day. Same to You. 

 [T]he work of the colonizer is to remake the land and people in its own image.

 Apple is erasing Lebanese villages from the map of Lebanon as Israel destroys them. 

Après moi le déluge! 

 During peace talks the U.S. sent two destroyers to the Strait of Hormuz. The destroyers were repelled. 

 

 

 you could go a little crazy now but that means you're sane. if you were really crazy you would act like everything is normal. and thank goodness for the cats of peace.

 There are two kinds of pets: the ones you choose and the ones that happen to you.

 Humans come in masses to swoon over the evanescent cherry blossoms. There are so many the traffic is forced to a stop to allow them to cross. I dread the future masses of pilgrims to come to swoon over the Obamachron. And we, if we are meant to stay, will look upon the masses from our window and be grateful we're still here, and not over there.

 There's something happening here. The animals know what it is. It's not about making the world a better place. 

 it's about good versus evil, life and death, and money, always. 

 This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle.

Doha — Qatar has announced its decision to withdraw American military forces from the Gulf region, becoming the first country in the area to do so. The Qatari foreign minister stated that his country has paid a heavy price for hosting foreign military bases. The minister also described Qatar’s relationship with Iran as “brotherly” and affirmed that Qatari soil will never again be used to harm that relationship.

 if capitalism is based on war how will there ever be peace. 

good morning. global intifada.

An amazing piece of truth in Haaretz this morning: the European pine trees Ashkenazi settlers planted over the ruins of Palestine's villages are dying en masse throughout occupied Palestine, 'and no one knows exactly why'.

But it is obvious why: they are not native, and they were used as weapons of war and ethnic cleansing.

The very soil rejects repugnant Zionism. The land itself, no less.

This could be the most ominous signal Zionists have ever received. And they have received plenty. It feels like a divine warning.

-the trees know where they don't belong.

 I look down there and my eyes water. I'm not even thinking, really. I feel a bottomless feeling about this bewildering production in the park. I feel the wired network buried and the styrofoam substrate offgassing underneath the soil excavated from another place. I feel an excavation taking place. Meanwhile another  president in succession threatens to destroy another civilization begun long long ago, before the invention of the free world.

 i wonder what the trees feel, born elsewhere, put on a truck, roots bound, where do they feel they are, hopeful, is this to be home then? what a strange home then. the workers dug a hole by this one tree and i saw a worker down in the hole, now the hole is filled, and the little tree still sits beside the hole.

 What country on earth has withstood an assault by the U.S. and Israel for thirty days and continued to fight back? Iran. Solidarity and love.
