Winston Churchill Said What
Another ghastly meme has surfaced on facebook. “When Winston Churchill was asked to cut arts funding in favour of the war effort, he simply replied, “then what are we fighting for?” The quote is not in the Churchill archive, which is either fifteen million documents, or fifteen million words. The authorities use the figures interchangeably.
The Telegraph has an article debunking the meme. It has a splendid sentence: “But that anecdote does not so easily play into the screeching rhetoric of today’s 140-character political ding-dongs.” There are also some lovely quotes from Mr. Churchill. 
In 1937, Mr. Churchill spoke before the Peel Commission. It was discussing “partitioning British mandated Palestine into Arab and Jewish states.” At the time, Mr. Churchill was a minor figure in British politics, disgraced by his blundering in the Great War. The quote: “I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.”
Winston Churchill is quite the quote magnet. This is somehow fitting for a man whose most famous speech was read, on the radio, by an actor. There is a page on the internet devoted to times when he was falsely accused of saying something inspiring.
One of these stories is notable. “The only traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy and the lash… Churchill’s assistant, Anthony Montague-Browne said that although Churchill had not uttered these words, he wished he had.”
UPDATE: Sir Anthony Montague-Browne KCMG CBE DFC appears to have been a piece of work. He is acknowledged to be the illegitimate father of The Most Reverend Justin Welby Archbishop of Canterbury. Sir Montague Brown was the private secretary of Winston Churchill from 1953 until Churchill’s death in 1965. “As well as his duties as a chief of staff, Montague-Browne lunched and dined with Churchill and provided an opponent for his favourite card game, rubicon. He also accompanied Churchill on his trips abroad.” While it is possible that Monatague-Brown did ask Churchill about the quote, there is no solid documentation. It is also possible that Churchill was in decline, or drunk, and could not remember something he said in 1911.
“Montague-Browne confirmed this to Richard Langworth, one of the most respected Churchill biographers. In his great book about Churchill quotations and misquotes, Churchill by Himself: The Definitive Collection of Quotations, Richard Langworth says that Montague-Browne personally told him that he had asked Churchill about the quote. According to Montague-Browne, Churchill responded: “I never said it. I wish I had.” Langworth notes that “rum, sodomy and the lash” is similar to “rum, bum and bacca” — a catchphrase from an old saying about the, er, pastimes of British sailors, dating back to the 1800s.”

Always Take Sides
“Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.” This meme, illustrated by the gnomic face of Elie Wiesel, turns up on facebook a lot. (Elie Wiesel is pronounced like Elly Mae Clampett) Some find it inspiring. Others think it is simplistic and manipulative.
There are two questions. Did Mr. Wiesel say that? What was the context? The quote appears in the acceptance speech for the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize. The next sentence is “Sometimes we must interfere.” We immediately go from the absolute always, to the conditional sometimes. That is progress, even if it does not fit on a bumper sticker.
“Elie Wiesel was born in Sighet, Romania, in 1928. … In May 1944, Wiesel was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp along with his parents and his sisters. Wiesel and his father were slave laborers at Auschwitz. His father died in January 1945 during a forced march to another camp, Buchenwald, and his mother and younger sister were murdered as well. After the war, Wiesel moved to France, where he worked as a journalist.”
The Israel-Palestine problem was just as vexing in 1986 as today. Here is what Mr. Wiesel said in his speech. “More people are oppressed than free. And then, too, there are the Palestinians to whose plight I am sensitive but whose methods I deplore. Violence and terrorism are not the answer. Something must be done about their suffering, and soon. I trust Israel, for I have faith in the Jewish people. Let Israel be given a chance, let hatred and danger be removed from her horizons, and there will be peace in and around the Holy Land.”
Who is the oppressor in the Middle East, and who is the victim? Many sides can make a case for their cause. Who is the better at persuasion? Who is better at playing the shady game of influence, and money. Often, more noise encourages the tormentor. The answer to age old conflicts is seldom found in bumper stickers, or facebook memes.
“…to whose plight I am sensitive but whose methods I deplore.” “Always take sides” means that you pick one side in a conflict, and use the tools of rhetoric to promote that cause. It can be tough to tell the good guys from the bad guys. Human suffering is human suffering. Simplistic rhetoric is *never* the answer.
In 1986, the Iran-Iraq war was raging. Hundreds of thousands of men died. Many said the war was allowed to go on intentionally. Allegedly, if Iran and Iraq were not fighting each other, they would be fighting Israel. The United States was allied with Iraq, while making arms deals with Iran. Israeli dealers participated in the United States-Iran arms trading. The profits from those deals went to supply terrorists in Central America. “Sometimes we must interfere.”

Al-Aqsa Flood
This is a repost from May, 2024. The Israel story keeps getting worse, in practically every way. … I knew two things after Al-Aqsa Flood. One, Israel would exponentially retaliate, and alienate much of the world. Two, there were going to some some incredibly toxic discussions about the matter. This feature is going to focus on number two.
If you listen to the conversations about the war, you will hear a lot of misused logic. Distraction, derailment, false equivalence, two-wrongs-that-make-a-right, forgotten details, and outright lies. You are either on one side or another, and proceed accordingly. FWIW, I am on team Palestine.
There is an easy test. Do they say Hamas, or do they say Palestinian? Hamas is the boogeyman of today’s rhetoric, and anything less than total demonization is considered support. The fact that thousands of unarmed Palestinians have died is a pesky detail.
One thing I did not know on October 7 was the role the IDF played. Many of the Israelis who died were killed by their own army. This fact is often overlooked in angry sermons about AAF.
I also did not know that Israel created, and supported Hamas. Before AAF, Hamas was seen as a way to degrade the Palestinian Authority, and keep Palestinians divided. The ultimate goal was to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state. This is part of Israel’s longtime strategy of interfering in the internal affairs of her neighbors, for Israel’s benefit.
In 1987, I had a workplace frenemy. Steve was the son of Holocaust survivors, and a staunch supporter of Israel. I mentioned that the Iran-Iraq war was being kept going, to distract the combatants from fighting Israel. Steve got very angry. “Yes, and it’s for your benefit. We need to fight terrorism.” This policy was also seen in the Syrian civil war.
This feature will be brief. If the reader wants to know more, Google is at your service. A question could be raised about how neutral Google is in this conflict. There are numerous other commentaries. Let the buyer beware. Pictures today are from The Library of Congress.

Truth About Opinions
Chamblee54 is normally a profanity free blog. However, for this piece, certain cuss words are essential to the free flow of information. In other words, IF YOU DON’T LIKE CUSS WORDS, YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ THE TEXT.
Once, when his blog was active, a radio whiner referred to a study, that said that one third of all people were not qualified to have opinions. This was said before a commercial break, without saying why this percentage should be without opinions. Possible reasons would be lack of education, inability to think critically, or a disturbing tendency to disagree with the person doing the study.
Opinion is derived from “opīniōn- (stem of opīniō), derivative of opīnārī to opine.” Opinion rhymes with rack and pinion, dominion, and virginian. The anagram of opinion is onion pi. The Power Thesaurus has 1,326 synonyms for opinion. Many are notoriously anal, like assumption. Or the sister of suppository, supposition.
“Opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got theirs.” The truth is, opinions have more in common with the waste that comes out of the anal sphincter, than the port of exit. Feces (thesis) is the product of food fed into the digestive system. Opinions are the result of information (and misinformation) fed into the thought system. Doodoo is influenced by the digestive system, like opinions are influenced by the attitudes, and thought patterns, of the individual. They all stink.
“Four Jews, Five opinions” is another crowd pleaser, like “You are entitled to your opinion.” The latter is usually said when you disagree with what you have just heard. When a Court of Law issues a ruling, it is called an opinion. Sometimes, a justice will write a dissenting opinion. When getting a provider to pay for a procedure, you often need to get a second opinion.
Opinions are frequently more valued by the giver than by the receiver. Some opinions are best kept to the owner. You should be wary of someone who feels that his shit does not stink, because he will usually feel the same about his opinions. You don’t have to have an opinion about everything. Many things are beyond or control, or do not interest you. Also, you should be wary of those who try to “fire up” your opinions. Often these people do not have the best of motives.
Opinions are seldom humble, no matter what the owner of the opinion might say. In fact, the act of holding an opinion is often self aggrandizing, and contrary to humility. Opinions are seen as a way of asserting ones individuality. Many people have lives of quiet desperation, full of struggle and turmoil. There are many situations where what the individual thinks is simply useless to the powers that be. In times like this, having opinions can restore a sense of self worth to the individual. I am somebody. I have my opinion. This does not mean that anyone is listening.

Critical Becky Studies
Becky is a generic insult for *some* white women. If you don’t know what a Becky is, you might not understand the feature below. Chad is the equivalent expression for white men. He is not important enough to be studied critically. This is a repost. Very few of the links in this feature work in 2o25.
It started out with a tweet, about a symposium, Critical Becky Studies: Critical Explorations of Gender, Race, and the Pedagogies of Whiteness. Soon, I was googling CBS. The paywall protected Wall Street Journal had an article on CBS. The seminal article was at City Journal, Racial Resentment As Pedagogy. The CBS flap originated at 2019 AERA Annual Meeting, sponsored by American Educational Research Association.
@chamblee54 @CityJournal @maxeden99 There was no link to this event in your article. I suspect this is a hoax. Please provide a link to the location on the event guide, for “critical becky studies.” The AERA conference guide is a confusing academic labyrinth. After a while, I clicked on the correct link, and found a way to search for whiteness pedagogy.
CBS is real. “In the tradition of speculative fiction, parable, and counterstorytelling within critical race theory, this session aims to problematize the characterization of “Becky,” a term specific to white women who engage whiteness, often in gendered ways. This characterization is relevant to education by critically examining who is Becky and how she is characterized, her positionality in education, and how the hope for diversity, inclusion, equity, and racial justice within the P-20 educational pipeline is impacted by Becky. … tied to the gendered and raced mechanisms of whiteness enacted by Becky. ”
The symposium featured the presentation of several papers. If, after reading this feature, you want to learn more about these papers, you can follow the links.
This Ain’t No “Wizard of Oz,” Becky “The chapter is a parable in the spirit of speculative fiction, about the fictional (mis)adventures of Becky in the land of Ny as she faces obstacles that she can only overcome by grappling with her own whiteness.”
Two Woke Beckys? “Although both Sheila and Erika slip into different whiteness performances during their conversation, including passive aggressiveness and tone policing, white innocence, and white saviority, they check each other and delve into how they each have and are employing whiteness, despite their desires to rid themselves of whiteness, albeit through different means. …”
Love in the Time of Beckyism “… a particular white heterofeminine citizen-subject popularly known as “Becky,” … Despite “progressive” commitments such as equality, and social justice; and sentimental responses to historical atrocities and current social events, these (conditional) protestations made by Becky serve as a hedonistic mechanism for image management that hinges on the exploitation and social death of people of color. …” How can a teacher preparation program work to rethink the episteme and ethos that socializes Beckyism?”
Book Club Becky: White Racial Bonding in the Living Room “Many liberal white women gather monthly for book clubs … This paper reveals the more insidious workings of these spaces, as they are places where white women bond in order to maintain their place in white patriarchy, what Christine Sleeter named white racial bonding. The conversations that take place, the women who are included as “educated,” and the spaces where they meet are laced with white supremacy and surveillance.”
Border Becky “… why white women still invest in whiteness. Using the term “Becky” establishes an academic backing that can be applied and analyzed when researching the pathology of whiteness. … whiteness manifests in classrooms riddled with white women seeking to prove how they are not like other racist white people. Becky in the counterstories demonstrates the character-like roles white women play in a white supremacist folklore.”
It was a busy weekend for whiteness pedagogy. Ekemini Uwan shocked a Christian conference with her remarks about whiteness. “So then when we talk about white identity, then we have to talk about what whiteness is. Well, the reality is that whiteness is rooted in plunder, in theft, in slavery, in enslavement of Africans, genocide of Native Americans, … It’s a power structure, that is what whiteness is, and so that the thing for white women to do is you have to divest from whiteness because what happened was that your ancestors actually made a deliberate choice to rid themselves of their ethnic identity and by doing so they actually stripped Africans in America of their ethnic identity. … Because we have to understand something – whiteness is wicked. It is wicked. It’s rooted in violence, it’s rooted in theft, it’s rooted in plunder, it’s rooted in power, in privilege … ”
Today’s images are from The Library of Congress. Russell Lee took the facebook photograph in August 1940. “Mormon farm family, members of FSA dental cooperative, in dentist’s office. Tremonton, Box Elder County, Utah” We do not know if any of these ladies were named Becky. UPDATE @chamblee54 I found the link. My apologies for doubting you. @maxeden99 No worries. I couldn’t have made it up if I tried :)
Letter To Darryl Cooper
Darryl I recently finished listening to Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem parts 1-6. I listened to part 7 shortly after October 7. I only listened to 1-6 after the Douglas Murray went on JRE to promote his new book. I have a few thoughts about this intense experience. If you could find the time to read this, I would be honored. I also plan to post this letter on my blog, chamblee54.WordPress.com, and at r/martyrmade. I have made 4 blog posts about listening to FLNJ. 041525 041825 042325 042625
We have never met in person. However, after listening to 22:54:47 of FLNJ, I do feel a connection. Listening to FLNJ is intense. I appreciate Douglas Murray’s reluctance to take this journey. This is the same person who said “So what. 30 plus hours of podcasting, you do that in a week”
The most obvious comment is about the insanity of forming opinions about Darryl Cooper based on a few comments on the Tucker Carlson show. FWIW, I disagree with the idea that Winston Churchill was the true villian of WWII. This was not the first time I had heard these ideas. For some bizarre reason, I read Pat Buchanan’s book a few years ago. I generally prefer fiction, and honestly don’t know what drew me to that book.
Winston Churchill is an actor in FLNJ. He was an enthusiastic supporter of Zionism, for whatever reason. I did do some digging into Mr. Churchill, and found a copy of his editorial Zionism Vs Bolshevism. I also found a quote: “As prime minister, in 1941, he proclaimed that “I was one of the authors” of Zionist policy. Indeed, among the lengthy catalogue of criticisms of Churchill was that “He was too fond of Jews.” My irony meter went crazy while listening to FLNJ.
There are many whatifs in the FLNJ story. One is the Ottoman Empire. What if OE had allied with the Allies, rather than the Central Powers? Or better yet, remained neutral. From my Wikipedia level view of history, it seems as though Germany simply made a better offer than France. That would have changed a lot of things.
Another missing link is the history of communism and Judaism. At one time, communism was seen as being a Jewish movement. Over the years, this evolved to the point where Israel is seen as being the enemy of communism. In the eighties, we heard a lot about the need to rescue Jews from anti-semitic persecution in the Soviet Union. How/when did this change take place?
On a related note, here is a quote from part two part two of the chamblee54 commentary. “While driving back, I heard the last few minutes of FLNJ-4. Darryl mentions something I had never heard before. At some point in this era, the United States and Great Britain restricted Jewish immigration. Darryl says the fear was about communist revolutionaries coming into the country. At this time, most of the Bolsheviks were Jewish, and the Russian revolution was seen by many as a Jewish revolution. When I try to find out more about this, the only google results are to sources concerned with anti-semitism or the holocaust. Any information about communism being a motivation for restricted emmigration is are very difficult to find.”
FLNJ-5 and FLNJ-6 are difficult to listen to. There are a lot of things I had never heard about that era. The Arab rebellion, the Zionist terrorism against the British mandate, the dirty business of getting the UN to approve the partition were all new to me. While I had knew that the Nakba existed (contrary to what some propagandists tell you today) I had no idea about the details. There is a saying about making laws and making sausages … you don’t want to be there when either one takes place. The same thing could be said about “nation building.” God is in the details, or maybe it is the Devil.
It is obvious that a 2016 show about Israel/Palestine is going to sound very different in 2025. It is a fitting irony that one of the last things you mentioned in FLNJ-6 was the quote from Refaat Alareer. “Sometimes a homeland becomes a tale, We love the story because it is about our homeland, and we love our homeland even more because of the story.”
On December 7, 2023, Dr. Alareer “was killed by a strike in Shajaiya, in northern Gaza … He was staying with his brother, his sister, and her four children, who were also killed.” Shortly before his death, Dr. Alareer had been in a twitter squabble with Bari Weiss. The IDF saw this as sufficient reason for a targeted assassination.
Anyway, thank you for the hard work you put into FLNJ. It took me 13 days to listen to it. If listening causes this much brain damage, I can only imagine how tough it would be to create those 23 hours. Thank you. … Pictures today are from The Library of Congress.

Fear & Loathing Part Four
This is part four of my guided tour with Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem, a podcast series about Israel and Palestine. This will be the final episode, and will cover FLNJ-6. FLNJ covers the time between 1890 and 1948, and is 22:54:47 in 6 episodes. FLNJ was created by Darryl Cooper aka @MartyrMade. Other episodes of the chamblee54 series are available: 041525 041825 042325 Disclaimer This post is a greatly simplified view of what happened. For more information, you can listen to FLNJ, or google one of the many histories of this era.
April 23, 2025 Throughout this process, I have been hitting the wrong button on my phone, and sending FLNJ back to 0:00. I’ve started taking notes of when I finish listening, so that if when I screw up, I can go back and find where I was. A minute ago, I arrived at dinner. I turned off the phone, and looked at the time (1:54:26). I then hit the wrong button on the phone, and wound up at 0:00. It is one of the problems of listening to long form podcasting.
At 1:57:24 I have to pull over into a parking lot. Darryl has gotten to where he needs to discuss the Jewish Holocaust of World War II. It’s an important part of the Israel story, as well as an overwhelming human tragedy. Darryl is having a tough time deciding how to approach it, and settles on reading three individual stories. Multiply these 3 stories by 2 million, and you have a holocaust. God/Satan is in the details. Focus on the tragedy, and leave the statistics for someone else.
FLNJ was recorded in 2015 and 2016. This is 9 years ago, or 7 years before October 7th. Today is also 8 months after Darryl’s notorious appearance on Tucker Carlson, after which he was called a holocaust denier. It’s tough to see how you could listen to FLNJ, and then call Darryl a holocaust denier. That is how the modern discourse goes. You can create an intense multi-part series about the creation of Israel, and people are more interested in a few sentences on youtube.
Another thing that’s happened since 2016 is the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This surprised most people, who knew little about the Maidan coup, or the Russia-Ukraine war already raging. In FLNJ, Darryl calls the capitol of Ukraine KEY-evv, whereas most people now say KEEV. Darryl also has a tasteful quote in FLNJ-6. “In the early 1930s, Poland got to look across the border to Ukraine and watch the Communist secret police, which was 75% Jewish … murder, by intentional starvation, somewhere between 6 and 10 million Ukrainian peasants.”
At 2:18:02 Daryl mentions the social ramifications of not accepting the Holocaust story with worship, but by questioning some of the details. It’s almost as if he saw the reaction to his comments on Tucker Carlson, 8 years later.
April 24, 2025 At 0833, I take my brother to the marta station in Chamblee, and find a non-handicapped place to park. I’m going to do my morning walk on the paths in downtown Chamblee.
At 3:32:00 of FLNJ-6, Darryl is talking about a jailbreak. This is the point where I came in on FLNJ-6, thinking it was FLNJ-5. I’m going to continue to listen. It’s going to be difficult, because I know what is coming. Israel is going to declare independence after the British mandate ends. The Zionists are going to be rewarded for their terrorism against the British, and they’re going to turn their homicidal fury on the Arabs. Israel is gaining their Homeland by violence. This is not the message that I have been taught about Israel.
I finished my walk at 3:58:20 of FLNJ-6. It is 0958 in Chamblee, and I’ve turned off FLNJ-6. I’ve had enough. There was a United Nations vote to establish the partition of Palestine. It was going to fail. The vote was delayed. Many countries were put under intense pressure, and given threats by the United States, to pass this resolution. Liberia was told that they were going to lose their major employer. France was told if they did not vote yes, they will not receive financial aid after World War II. There are reports that the Soviet Union pressured Ukraine to vote yes. It was dirty dirty dirty.
The Lebanese representative made an impassioned speech against establishing the partition. It’s almost as if he could foresee the future, and the destruction that Israel would visit upon Lebanon.
4:22:58 Always write down the time. I somehow hit something on the player that said show album art. Meanwhile, I was talking to some idiot phone scammer, and the show-album-art screen would not go away. I had to close the player out to get rid of the screen. By the time I got the player back on, FLNJ-6 had gone back to 0:00.
April 24, 2025 I am in a parking lot, turning off the player at 5:21:58 of FLNJ-6. The series is essentially over. The last chapter was about the Nakba. … Darryl continues, “The Zionists are never going to give up Israel, and the Palestinians are never going to give up their fight to return. Refaat Alareer wrote “Sometimes a homeland becomes a tale, We love the story because it is about our homeland, and we love our homeland even more because of the story.”
On December 7, 2023, Dr. Alareer “was killed by a strike in Shajaiya, in northern Gaza … He was staying with his brother, his sister, and her four children, who were also killed.” Shortly before his death, Dr. Alareer had been in a twitter squabble with Bari Weiss. The IDF saw this as sufficient reason for a targeted assassination.
This is where the journey ends. Listening to FLNJ has been difficult, although not nearly as difficult as living it. … to paraphrase an obnoxious argument, which one hears all too often these days. The chamblee54 series is not comprehensive, and leaves out a great deal of information. I write this knowing that almost nobody will read it, and that even fewer will care. If you tell this story to a supporter of Israel, you can expect to hear some angry talking points about October 7. Angry hasbara is a huge part of the problem in the United States.

Fear & Loathing Part Three
This is part three of my visitation with Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem, a podcast series about Israel and Palestine. FLNJ covers the time between 1890 and 1948, and was created by Darryl Cooper aka @MartyrMade. Other episodes are available: 041525 041825 042625 … Disclaimer This post is a greatly simplified view of what happened. For more information, you can listen to FLNJ, or google one of the many histories of this era.
April 19, 2025 I listened to FLNJ-5 on the morning walk without incident. This listening thing needs to go at a slower pace. Burnout is creeping in. The FLNJ story makes me think too much. So much of it corresponds to current events, controversies over historic events, and conflicts from my own life. I have eight hours to go on FLNJ.
There are several whatifs here. One involves the Ottoman Empire. Why did the OE ally with Germany in World War 1? If the OE had stayed neutral, or sided with the British and French, it would have changed a lot of things. When you deal with wikipedia level history, it simply seems like the Germans made the Turks a better deal than the British. See disclaimer above.
I spent much of saturday afternoon editing photographs, and listening to FLNJ-5. I don’t have a lot of product to show for it. Every few minutes, I would hear something the piqued my interest, and go looking for a transcript of it. A good example is this: 2:27:36 “Hitler never left those trenches you can see a few old pictures of Adolf Hitler sporting a normal mustache in the early days of the war the shortened mustache tucked under his nose that was a modification made in order to allow a soldier’s gas mask to seal against his skin during an attack”
Later, at 2:34:17, there was a long quote from Winston Churchill. “Just a month before Hitler was discharged from the German Army, in March 1920, Winston Churchill had published that editorial … called Zionism Vs Bolshevism … ‘the international Jews were engaged in quote a worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization. There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these International and for the most part atheistical Jews.’
FWIW, Winston Churchill … who Darryl Cooper famously called the real villain of World War II … was a staunch supporter of Zionism. “… as colonial secretary in the 1920s, Churchill took steps that enabled 300,000 Jews to emigrate to Palestine … As prime minister, in 1941, he proclaimed that “I was one of the authors” of Zionist policy. Indeed, among the lengthy catalogue of criticisms of Churchill was that “He was too fond of Jews.”
April 20, 2025 I come in from my morning walk shaking with rage. FLNJ-5 is at 4:43:00. Israel has declared Independence, the British are leaving, and the Nakba is going strong. Darryl tells some confirmed stories of Israeli atrocities, during the ethnic cleansing of the Arab population.
I HAVE F$$$ED UP. I am not listening to FLNJ-5, but FLNJ-6. I should have looked closer at the screen. Apparently, when I switched from youtube to mp3, I started back with the wrong file. I suspected that something was up last night. At one point, there was a gap. First, we were at Hitler’s rise to power, which had obvious implications for the Zionist project. Next, it was 1946, and the Irgun terrorist movement was in full flower. After realizing my mistake, I think I understand why. I will find where I was in FLNJ-5, and start over. Unfortunately, when I get to the Nakba in FLNJ-6, I will have to listen a second time.
April 21, 2025 I am now 8 days into this project, one day longer than it would have taken Douglas Murray to record it. I am at 3:52:23 of FLNJ-5, and burnout is setting in. Files from other podcasts that I enjoy are piling up.
Monday morning means a new episode of “Blocked and Reported.” This week features Episode 257, Faux POC Poetry. I am part of a poetry community that is run by POC. This should be entertaining.
April 22, 2025 When I got back from my morning walk, I was at 5:21:11 of FLNJ-5. The various situations are not improving. Germany is lurching towards war, and the “final solution.” British Mandate Palestine is descending into chaos, with the elimination of Arabs on the horizon.
There are many, many things to learn from FLNJ-5. The Mandatory British Administration of Palestine is a disaster for the Arabs. An Arab revolt was suppressed by the British and Zionists, with the trademark cruelty of all anti-insurgencies. Torture, collective punishment, and limitless “collateral damage” are all present. An estimated 10% of the Arab population in Palestine died. The British Army is forcing Arab prisoners to ride on the hood of trucks, as human shields against land mines. The rhetoric of this era could have been spoken today.
In the early nineties, I read A Child of the Century by Ben Hecht, a journalist, screenwriter, and piece of work. During the last days of the Mandatory Government, Mr. Hecht became involved with the Irgun … a notorious para-military outfit in Palestine. Mr. Hecht proudly used the term “terrorists” to describe the Irgun. I read this during a time when Israeli propaganda made “terrorist” synonymous with Palestinians. The evening news was full of leaders saying the name Yassir Arafat, pause, terrorist. Using the t-word to describe a Zionist force struck me as highly ironic. FWIW, the term “terroriste” was coined in 1794, during the French Revolution.
April 23, 2025 This is #nationalpoetrymonth. Every day in April, I post a picture poem from my archives. Today it is In Jerusalem. The text is based on Ecclesiastes 1, and the pictures are “added value” shots of the American flag.
Whirleth about continually dim, Preacher was King over Israel’s fate, Have been before me in Jerusalem, That which is crooked cannot be made straight, I gave my heart to know how wisdom sings, Generation passeth away below, There is no remembrance to former things, Increaseth knowledge Increaseth sorrow.
A month after October 7, I was working on another poem, Cha Cha Part Two. One of the lines was “Ecclesiastical Abomination,” which rhymes with “Cultural Appropriation.” … FWIW, the poem was a celebration of white people who like to dance. … I was working on the pictures, and glanced at twitter. I saw a video of PM Netanyahu saying, there is a time for war. I began crying, and could not stop. By then, the exponential over-retaliation of Israel was all full display, for those who could see. This was truly an Ecclesiastical Abomination.
The FLNJ series runs 22:54:47. (FLNJ-1 – 2:21:05, FLNJ-2 – 3:18:52, FLNJ-3 – 1:44:03, FLNJ-4 – 4:25:58, FLNJ-5 – 5:35:43, FLNJ-6 – 5:30:07) Mileage may vary. Today’s pictures are from The Library of Congress. Russell Lee took the facebook picture in April 1941. “Saturday night in barroom. Southside of Chicago, Illinois” · selah
