SATANS
Is there some primate imperative, some
genetic human want, need, reverence for
so-called strong leaders, those masters of
othering, destroyers of order,
adepts in venality and stupidity,
casual slaughterers of innocence?
Israel attacks Iran on a pretext from the
loan library of Pretexts – more or less
the same pretext Alexander the Great
borrowed when he burned Persepolis,
(city of the Persians). Iran borrows
from the library of Virility
and attacks Israel – the same library the Crusaders used
when they captured Jerusalem and slaughtered
Jews and Muslims, men, women, and children.
And the world’s self-appointed Policeman –
in hock to Christian Evangelists
and Fossil Fuel Companies and the concept
of Full Spectrum Dominance – plays his trump card,
a TV series entitled THE END
OF DAYS, with seven full length episodes:
‘Iraq’, ‘Libya’, ‘Somalia’, ‘Sudan’,
‘Lebanon’, ‘Syria’, ‘Iran’; the seven
countries of the apocalypse; repeat.
Opportunists and fanatics, rich boys
and malignant narcissists, greedy shits
and unhinged rhetoricians, sadists
and chaps with things to prove are, it seems,
like the poor, always to be with us
to the very end of history.

July 18, 2025This echoes the anger and frustration that so many of as feeling.
Earlier this morning I listened to a report from a British surgeon working in Gaza about young Palestinian boys being targeted by the IDF in specific parts of their bodies, as the line up to collect food and water. How can this madness be allowed to continue?

July 30, 2025Powerful, David. I particularly like the idea of your various Libraries. (One makes a choice at which libraries to be a ticket-holder. There may be others.)
