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

At 59:54 of FLNJ-1, MartyrMade mentions that “Herzl (Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism) had never even been to Palestine when he published his pamphlet calling for the Jews to move there.” In another head scratcher, at 24:44 we learn: “Zionism was competing for recruits with Bolshevism, and these other radical movements.
