What is clearly a joint US-Israeli plan to remake the Mideast map is now well underway. Changes will be seismic.

Jesus Lizard are a legendary group who I don’t own any albums except their newest record

Rack. Jesus Lizard are a band skaters bumped after quitting skating while using drugs or drinking and starting bands. Jesus Lizard became a noise rock favorite while people were coming of age. Finishing school introduced responsibilities requiring employment and maturity.

Jesu Lizard are a literate man’s band.

Jesus Lizard released blue collar punk. I have close friends in Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Louisiana that all regard Jesus Lizard concerts as life-affirming events. Jesus Lizard shows were an act of insubordinate living in rejection of societies’ pre-programmed acquiescence. I hadn’t watched Jesus Lizard live, I was too young or I wasn’t in town.

TATANKA BRICCA updates the attempt to free LEONARD PELTIER to open GREEP Zoom #202, asking us to contact the White House.

We then explore “Catch 2024” with STEPHEN SPOONAMORE and the possibility that Elon Musk bought this year’s election.

The legendary CLINT CURTIS introduces his movement to get the 2024 ballots counted.

JOHN BRAKEY follows with his report from Arizona & digital imaging insights.

We dive further into the electoral madness with RAY LUTZ.

ELEANOR LECAIN calls out the Democrats for the traditional lack of interest in election protection.

LYNN FEINERMAN raises the issue of Opus Dei and its dark fight against democracy.

PAUL STOKES, DANIELA GIOSEFFI, MELISSA HALL join in with critical comments.

ADAM THUNDERFACE adds more to the campaign to free Leonard Peltier.

The chaos in the Middle East is then addressed by CHARLOTTE DENNETT & DAVID SALTMAN.

We also address the brilliant recent piece on war by LUCIAN TRUSCOTT IV.

…and we will see you again next week for our final session of the tragic year 2024.

 

You may not have noticed this. The world “celebrated” International Human Rights Day the other day, even as wars across the planet continued, bombs fell, children died. What if “freedom from war” were a human right?

I don’t ask this to be cynical, but rather to expand the reach of what should be a global day of connection and collective inner reflection. International Human Rights Day is Dec. 10. It’s an annual honoring of the day in 1948 when the newly formed United Nations, in the wake of World War II, adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which publicly recognizes “the inherent dignity and . . . equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family.”
