All Them Bastards
Morning Comrades! Super quick shipping update and I know y’all been waiting patiently for your gear - I am primed to ship everything, excluding bags & patches by Tuesday / Wednesday. Keep an eye out in your email inbox for those automated emails from the online shop and tracking numbers if you opted for tracked shipping.
Let’s kick off this week with the new playlist, not only do we all need tunes to get us through this shit show but this weeks playlist is Out There. Its got everything from new work from J. Cole, Mastodon, Jagged Baptist Club to Akron/Family, King Buffalo to Studio Murena ( Killer Offbeat Italian Jazz ) to classic vibes from Jimmy Cliff, Chaka Demus, 10cc to Dillinger and some new jams form Nine Inch Nails. It’s a thing of chaotic beauty.
Obviously, we are going to continue covering Israel and Palestine. There is one article in particular that I wanted to share with you especially in light of my own personal experience with the content being pushed on FB and Tiktok these last couple of days, all of which has been decidedly off-topic or pro-IDF. I’ve linked this article into the picture and I highly recommend you get into this one, especially in addition to the articles I shared last week.
In addition to the above, I came across this most excellent twitter thread that I found of value in terms of historical accuracy and depth.
Two other pieces of news that I wanted to direct your attention to when I have it are these two. Whilst our propaganda “news” outlets require new atrocities to sell every 24hrs the reality of any struggle doesn’t stop because CNN found another human tragedy to sell for more ad money. Bolivia, as much the other countries in Central and South America we have covered here remain high on my interest scale and this piece of wonderful investigative journalism dropped into my lap over the weekend. Whilst it is somewhat skewed in the typical US way of bad vs good guy, make no mistake that this level of government was and will only be restricted to Fucko Trumpo.
In the meantime, the the big boy asshole planet killers, in this case Exxon Mobile, throws their vast pot of money to make you believe that not only will your soy latte stop civilization destroying climate change but even so, it’s all your fault buddy. Read this. Share it and then read it again. This is only the tip of the proverbial non existent iceberg.
