If you want to feel the Earth move under your feet, bop on over to the La Mirada Theatre to enjoy the rock ’n’ roll extravaganza Beautiful, The Carole King Musical. This bioplay dramatizes the life story of one of pop music’s most prolific, prodigious talents, with performances of 30 sizzling songs, rather gloriously accompanied by a live 10-ish piece orchestra ensconced out of sight (but not out of earshot) in the pit fronting the stage. The title character is nothing short of the “King Klein” of rock (Klein is Carole’s birth surname), who literally started composing songs and having them recorded when the precocious, precious pianist was only 16.
Last Tuesday there took place a disgraceful display of visceral malignancy in the United States House of Representatives Chamber in the south wing of the Capitol building. The House, long characterized by its aversion to truth, justice and what was once the American way, has been corrupted by special interests who have effectively bought an overwhelming majority of legislators, to include the leadership of the two major political parties. In the area of foreign policy, as well as a spill-over into many domestic and constitutional issues, there is no more powerful lobby than that of the state of Israel, and its power was on full display on Tuesday afternoon when Representative Rashida Tlaib was censured for the crime of being of Palestinian ancestry and speaking up against the ongoing genocide of her people by the Jewish state. Nearly all Republicans voted to condemn her together with a considerable number of her fellow Democrats.
The Israeli government just downgraded the number of those killed in the
October 7 attack to 1200 from 1400. Haaretz Newspaper was able to name less
than 980 (some yet to be identified). George Galloway wrote: "The foul
allegations of rape have been dropped by the Israeli government. The forty
beheaded babies has been downscaled to one dead baby, not beheaded, and
killed by persons unknown." Does the truth of what happened on October 7
matter? Yes it does because it is used to justify an ongoing genocide
(ofcourse nothing justifies genocide even exagerrated and fabricated
stories). But why do many western leaders and western media parrot Israeli
lies and not just about 7 October but for the past 75 years of committing
atrocities against a largely defenseless Palestinian population? DOES THE
TRUTH MATTER? The links below are a glimpse of the overwhelming body of
evidence about Israeli/Zionist lies. You be the judge. In the end I will
say why this is important if not CRITICAL to achieve peace.
The Zionist movement literally threw Palestinians into the sea (loading
“We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living.” – WWII General Omar Bradley
Thomas Mann (1875 - 1955): "War is a cowardly escape from the problems of
peace."
Today Israeli occupation forces attacked more hospitals in Gaza including
the Indonesian Hospital. Medicines are not allowed yet including most
cancer medicines (one month now) and no fuel for hospitals in the North. 18
Palestinians were killed today in the West Bank and over a 150 in Gaza. The
US is still trying to do tokenism by saying they can agree to a 4 hour
pause daily. That is four hours for the Israeli military trorefule and
resume the genocide for the next 20 hours daily. Humane Gaza Doctors
