Contemplation on Life -- Four Poems

I slept barely three hours last night so I worked, took a vigorous walk,
and contemplated life. I force myself to watch the horrors of the genocide
and destruction around us...my nightmares seem small compared to reality. I
touch base with friends in the Gaza strip where they are herded like cattle
from one place to another to be bombed to reduce their population and
finish off the Palestinian question, a final solution to make the land
devoid of its indigenous people. All with support of western governments
under the boot of Zionism. In my walk I also reflected on how difficult it
is to build our oasis of hope (see palestinenature.org) in the middle of
this mayhem and stressed for resources (funding and people). I also
reflected on people (those active, those colluding, those humane....). I
also worked on my latest book of reflections on activism and decided to

Zionism on the Brink: The Gaza War Beyond Netanyahu

The idea that the war on Gaza is essentially waged and sustained by and for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has, for long, dominated political analyses on the subject.

 The notion is often kept alive by public opinion inside Israel. 

The Real Boss of Congress Comes to Town

New York - According to Britain’s esteemed medical journal, The Lancet, 186,000 Palestinian adults and children have so far been killed or died of disease in Gaza. Nearly 600 Palestinians have been killed on the Israeli-occupied West Bank. 10,000 Palestinians languish in Israeli prisons.

Putting War and Peace on the Ballot

The corporate media report on elections — especially the biggie coming up — as though they were sporting events. If you win, hurray! You get the gold cup or whatever. The election process is a matter of shrewd strategy combined with, uh, likability.

Thus, as per the New York Times: “Tim Walz is going to bring big Midwestern dad energy to the presidential campaign.”

Harris Trump Yard Signs

Harris Made the Right Choice by Selecting Walz

After just over two weeks of grueling vetting, Kamala Harris announced her pick for vice president. Tim Walz is her running mate. She rejected the calls of special interests, aka AIPAC and their cronies, the “mainstream” media outlets like CNN, and “intellectual” Democrats, to tap Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania.

For me, and I believe many others, the choice for the top of the ticket has become easy. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz can be our choice. Before this recent announcement, when Biden stepped down from the top of the ticket, I was still unsure if I wanted to cast my vote for Harris. For one, I was unsure about her “bedfellows.” Would she succumb to the special interests and select another Zionist, mirroring Biden? Would she pander to those “Israel First” lobbyists and special interests and be made to forget that her first duty is to the USA and not to a foreign country that is dragging the US into the mud of regional conflicts? Honestly, with her choice of Walz, I was a little relieved.

Now, Here’s How We Do It: 93 Days to a Better World

From Michael Moore substack:

I promised you a blueprint and a strategy that, beginning today, working together, we can use to actually, once and for all, end the career of a political arsonist, the man who attempted to overthrow the duly-elected government of the United States of America, the 34-time convicted felon, self-admitted sexual abuser, and one-time Dean of Trump University: Donald J. Trump. 

This is it. 

This is how Trump will meet his fate: You, me, this Toolkit I’m building for you, and millions of Americans who will be engaged and unforgiving over these next three months.

Although this toolkit has the blessing of many in my progressive family of activists, writers, and non-violent rebels, it has not been approved by the Democratic National Committee. I did run it by various people in D.C. who were happy to read it. All agreed that nothing I’m suggesting we do is wrong or inappropriate and, in fact, I was told it was actually better that we were doing our own “rogue operation.”
