“When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact that modern man suffers from a kind of ‘poverty of the spirit,’ which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance.”— Martin Luther King Jr.
All of those fundamental capacities that we as a species need in order to survive, we've defined by our economic system is worthless. Now, is there another way? Of course there is. The question is, can we overcome the force of this system before it kills us. Because that is exactly what it is going to do in the end.
Jared Kushner joins the chorus calling for Israel to expand its occupation to Gaza's waterfront through forced displacement, but, if history is any judge, Palestinians will remain.
I don't quite share the brutal optimism that Vijay Prashad has. The region has now been successfully obliterated to a point of seemingly no return. With basically no means for the Palestinians to rebuild on their own accord. With the genocide still ongoing. His article however delivers a time line of at least the past 75 years of the genocide campaign that has actually been going on since even earlier of the 20th century.
I'm placing the article ahead of an Abby Martin discussion with ex Biden official, Tark Kash, the second of officials to resign, over the administrations role in the Gaza genocide. I've spoken a few times of the time line narrative in Prashad's article, the multiple forced replacements of Palestinians over decades while losing everything, in which Kash will provide his own families inhumane treatment over decades within that time line.
Legendary filmmaker, author and activist Peter Joseph joins Abby to discuss the Gaza genocide, and debunk liberal Zionism through the lens of Bill Maher.
A timely discussion that I'll also pin to the top of the board so people can come back to view as they can with the other one I pinned earlier. If you're unaware of my group in the other places I share my post, you can add the group from the following link ---- [agnostic.com]
I am reminded of the woman who bitterly complained the Australian Family Law court gave her husband all the family money but her the 2 girls. I met her when these girls were 30 & 26 respectively. The elder was by then a misandrist PhD graduate of Oxford UK & the younger an Australian university degree qualified married film producer. Both girls had grown up constantly bombarded with the injustice of the court decision. So much so that when the father died he left all his money to his daughters. They in turn immediately gave it to their mother who built a very nice 4 bedroom house with swimming pool.
If they had hoped that it would result in the mother no longer whinging it didn't work.
Eventually having heard the whinging for the dozenth time over a period of 6 months I asked the mother if she thought her children priceless.
Her hot under the collar reply, how could I have the audacity to think otherwise?, was "of course they're priceless!" . . . My reply of "Well you got the better side of the court's decision then! Didn't you?" went down like a lead balloon. . . the Oxford Doctor looked at me with new respect for all of 2 minutes - until misandry overtook her again!
Like the above first video states there can be a total inability to understand because of the blinkers of rigid belief. . . Professor Cipollo's 5 basic laws of human stupidity together with Edward Abbott's wonderful 'Flatland, a romance of many dimensions" simply clarifies the situation:
