@wildethingy They don’t need to tell a lie for you to believe. They just need to tell enough lies that you can no longer be certain of the truth. ~ Here is the monday morning reader for today. The Picture: “Dinner at the second annual field day at the FSA (Farm Security Administration) farm workers’ community. Yuma AZ March 1942 Russell Lee, photographer ~ Gloria Steinem was known for feminism, and wearing ugly glasses. She was also a CIA asset. Ms. Steinem allegedly produced a pamphlet, ‘A Review of Negro Segregation in the United States.’ @marina0swald “published near the height of the civil rights movement, the report states that the reason racism exists is because it’s self-perpetuating, and black people simply imagine they are oppressed. the report has steinem’s name stamped across the top.” ~ @chamblee54 Known for feminism and ugly glasses, Gloria Steinem was also a CIA asset. She allegedly produced a pamphlet, ‘A Review of Negro Segregation in the United States.’ ~ Does #Israel have the right to defend itself from #Israel ? ~ A facebook actor posted: “if you are going to claim NOT to be racist, I feel like you should … ” I thought about it. Why is they interested in my racism status, and how is this any of their business? ~ Israel has outsmarted itself. In the eighties, Israel, and her enablers, encouraged the Iran Iraq war. The idea was to keep them busy, so they would not fight Israel. Over a million men, and boys, died. The I-I war led to the Iran Contra affair, the use of wmd by Iraq 1/x ~ We are currently in an interesting phase in our view of the War Between the States. First the war, then the reconciliation/confederate mythology. Now the performative rebel-bashing. It will be interesting how this looks in a few years. ~ Back in Shanghai, Goulter sought to gain a permit to return to Hofei and to figure out how he could transport the numerous bales of clothing (which had arrived on the freighter) to the mission station. In the meantime he was aware of local groups that were desperately in need of clothing. Shanghai was full of refugees. Among them were some Jews fleeing from the horrors of Nazi Germany. They had only the summer clothes they were dressed in. Gaining access to his bales of clothing, Goulter was able to fit them out with warm clothes. This incident is possible the basis for unusual story told about Goulter (see following). ~ there is a Christmas urban legend, about a missionary, OJ Goulter, buying German pastries for Jewish refugees in World War II. After I posted a story questioning this legend, the grandchildren of the Dr. Goulter sent me stories about the man. ~ In 1893, Great Britain created a border between Colonial India and Afghanistan. Much of what is today Pakistan arguably belongs to Afghanistan, or an independent Balochistan. ~ This is a repost from December 3, 2017.. For 29 weeks, I published a post about people killed by police. 645 incidents were considered, with key statistics broken down in the summary. The series got very little attention. For all the hoopla certain cases generate, most people are not interested in the day to day grind. ~ this is a repost from December 3, 2017.

For all the hoopla certain cases generate, most people are not interested in the details. ~ @annbauerwriter Also, I am no longer using the phrase “hate speech,” because it’s a propaganda tool that has lost all meaning. A friend told me he’s doing his mandatory corporate DEI training for 2024: Saying “preferred pronouns” is now considered hate speech—and is a fireable offense. ~ 1 thing you know you know about outside world, 1 thing you think you know ” , 1 thing you wish you knew ” , i am still motivated to make the world different – I know that water is wet, and heavy in bulk. Water is the wet element. Some say that earth is anything solid, air is a gas, and water is anything liquid. – That is what I think I know. Water is a metaphor for some arcane knowledge, which I don’t know and don’t especially care to know. – What do I wish I knew? How to ensure an adequate supply of adequate water. The fresh water supply is finite, and here in atlanta, where five million people depend on an overgrown trout stream, the supply of usable water is always precarious. A new drought could begin at any time, and we are powerless to stop. Praying for rain is a good idea, but I am afraid that god is not always listening. – water is a source of power, and a weapon of war. Israel has always coveted the limited water in their area, and is reluctant to share it with others. In this latest killing spree, the water for gaza … never plentiful or clean to begin with … is a weapon for evil. i am motivated to change this, but feel powerless. ~ Howdy … I gave into the temptation to engage with a commercial participant here. I should not that I am retired, and am not wealthy. I apologize for leading you on. I do not see what you are doing as being wrong, likewise I would not feel good about using your services. ~ Mr. Vonnegut’s wikiquote page calls this “misattributed” … “Part of a quote attributed to Vonnegut, but actually a response to tumblr post of a letter by Vonnegut by user three rings” This was in a tumblr called “Hardcore Emotional Smut” There is a letter there from KV that is more believable, and inspiring, than the “archaelogical dig” story. ~ there is a facebook fable about Kurt Vonnegut, rest his soul. The meme is about KV going on an archaeological dig when he is fifteen. I was in the mood to be an obnoxious pedant, so I asked Mr. Google what he thought. An article in snopes came up, and I copied a link to the fbf that posted the meme. Then I read the snopes article, and saw that it had nothing to do with an archaeological dig. Then I went to the KV wikiquote. The AD quote is listed as “Misattributed.” The source was a tumblr, hardcore emotional slut It turns out the AD story is shown below a letter KV wrote to a high school english student. The letter is classic feel-good KV. This letter is much more plausible, and inspiring, than the AD story. How many Indiana 15 yearolds went on archaeological digs in 1937? ~ @chamblee54 Did Kurt Vonnegut go on a archaeological dig when he was 15? The KV Wikiquote blames a tumblr, Hardcore Emotional Smut. The real KV letter is better. @QuoteResearch ~ Address of the International Working Men’s Association to Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America Presented to U.S. Ambassador Charles Francis Adams January 28, 1865 [A] Written: by Marx between November 22 & 29, 1864, and included in the Minutes of the General Council on 29th November 1864; ~ @ContrabandsM I haven’t been at work for 2 hours, & I’ve already had an extensive conversation w/ a colleague in which I told her (& she agreed) that she is ill-equipped to connect w/ & assist her Black & Latino students. I also talked w/ 1 of my autistic students about his experience. 1/9 ~ @JoeBiden Hamas unleashed a terrorist attack because they fear nothing more than Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in peace. To continue down the path of terror, violence, killing, and war is to give Hamas what they seek. We can’t do that. ~ @YousefMunayyer @YousefMunayyer This morning I got an email from a cable news network asking me to come on to talk about the “truce” and what happens next. I told them I’d be happy to do so. Then… @YousefMunayyerThey sent me an email asking for technical details to arrange the segment and also asked me for “A couple of brief pre-interview notes on your thoughts which we can use to help guide the interview” @YousefMunayyer I replied back with the technical info as well as three simple points in response to their request for “pre-interview notes” Here is what I sent them: @YousefMunayyer “This morning two unarmed Palestinian children were shot and killed by the Israeli military in occupied Jenin highlighting how even in a moment of “cease-fire” unending military occupation continues to claim the lives of Palestinians.”@YousefMunayyer “There is no military solution to this issue, the only path forward is one based on addressing the root causes which are the denial of basic rights to Palestinians.@YousefMunayyer”The Israeli government, led by Netanyahu, sold Israelis the notion that they could have unending occupation and security at the same time. This was always untrue but it became undeniable on Oct 7th…@YousefMunayyer ..Netanyahu knows his political career and his government’s days are numbered and he is hoping to put off the day after the war as long as possible. The US must not accept that.”@YousefMunayyer Six minutes after sending that email, I got an email back with this “sincere apologies but due to a last-minute change in plans with the show team, we will have to stand down on this request for today.” @YousefMunayyer Folks, I have done hundreds of segments, and countless ones for this same network over the years to talk about this issue. I have *never* witnessed the level of censorship and discourse policing by cable news that is taking place right now. ~ I have a question, and you might have the answer. Is anyone “in charge” of the green space? I have a project I want to do. There is a lot of debris in front of the curb, on the Skyland end. I would like to rake the leaves, and deposit them somewhere out of sight in the woods. I imagine there is some dirt there, which could be scraped up and put somewhere. It is probably good soil, if someone wanted to dump this on a garden. If I got help with this, that would be great. If I do it by myself, that is good as well. There is no deadline. This matter has been piling up as long as I know, so it won’t hurt to stay a bit longer. ~ @RBrulin These videos are SO problematic: Short snippets out of context & neatly packaged to generate buzz make it EVER HARDER to have the serious, reasoned discussions about terrorism that we NEED: About terrorism/resistance Terrorists/freedom fighters Non-state & state terrorism Etc 🧵 ~ #TuckerCarlson can make a strange noise when he laughs. Here he says “You’re out of control” followed by a psycho laugh. .@ComicDaveSmith ~ @martyrmade New Jocko: Unraveling #40 Jocko and I discuss media, politics, Israel and more w/Saagar Enjeti (@esaagar). Saagar is a great guy, a snappy dresser, and taller than expected irl. Oh, and he hosts a show called Breaking Points w/@krystalball ~ someone … either @aquadrunkard or @captainsdead … put “Fairytale in New York” up for download. They said it was #ShaneMacgowan’s finest hour. I downloaded FINY, and played it about 20 times on Christmas Eve, crying like a baby every time. ~ @ggreenwald @ggreenwald The world’s most pathetic people — and I mean this with no exaggeration — are those who think they become more masculine, who find purpose as a man, not by going to fight in wars or taking any personal risks, but by cheerleading wars from a safe distance that others go fight: ~ @MattPrinciple ***THREAD*** Status, Virtue-Signaling, and the Ascent of Liberalism: Towards a General Theory of Modern Politics, w/ Some Thoughts on the Road Ahead for the Right Right-wingers often gripe about the prevalence of “virtue-signaling” on the left: the practice of adopting an ~ Pictures for this no three-peat monday are from The Library of Congress ~ selah
