Harry's Last Stand

D-Day was not about making society a safe haven for the undertaxed wealth of the 1%.

Ideologically and economically, 2024 is only a few steps away from the 1930s. Our fascism has a digital component whereas ninety years ago, theirs was strictly analogue.

The epochs are similar in inequality, populist politics, xenophobia and fear

Mount Vesuvius

For ten days in March 1944, Mount Vesuvius spewed volcanic rock and ash into the air and poured a river of molten lava down the mountainside.

It was a major eruption.

Three Italian villages and part of a fourth were destroyed.

And no volcanic activity at Vesuvius since then even comes close to the scale of this event.

Neoliberalism created another lost generation. Chapters from the Green & Pleasant Land

Neoliberalism has created another lost generation. This one will never be found because our politics were broken by corruption the way stage four cancer eats away at the vital organs of an afflicted patient.

Israel says decapitated babies are no longer reason to respond with genocide
It's different when they do the decapitating

Israel has suddenly decided that decapitated babies are not justification to commit a retaliatory genocide after it decapitated babies by dropping 8 one-ton bombs on tents in a refugee camp, and bombed the Kuwaiti hospital to take it out of operation before the survivors could be taken there.

Good Law Project.
"Earlier this month, the Tories informed me they had passed my data to the Daily Mail. So, I sent the Mail a data subject access request to find out exactly what data it holds on me."

In its reply, the Mail has pushed back, to argue that carrying out the search “would be wholly disproportionate and an unwarranted interference with its Article 10 rights” which protects freedom of expression in – the European Convention on Human Rights.

"I was an Autistic psychiatric inpatient: Here’s what I would change in the mental health system "

Autistic people are exposed to inordinately high rates of trauma and mistreatment. It is unsurprising then that a large portion of us develop mental health struggles. Where there are concerns around mental health, there are also issues regarding inpatient treatment, both voluntary and involuntary, under the UK’s Mental Health Act.

Ironically, in the interest of fascism NATO is going to pimp out the memory of D-Day.

Before, during, and after June 6th, Politicians are going to pimp out the memory of D-Day on its 80th anniversary with the cynicism of a human trafficker. They must because neoliberalism has backed society into a corner with systemic corruption and wealth inequality. They are at the shit or bust phase of control.

Earlier today the UK Government’s Secretary of State for Scotland, Alister Jack MP, announced that he will order ministers to plan for a nuclear reactor to be built in Scotland!

Scotland only has one operational nuclear site left, Torness, which will be decommissioned in 2028.

Will you help us tell Alistair Jack and the UK Government to keep nuclear out of Scotland?

King Charles formally comes out as Satan, Lord of Demons
We need to respect his lifestyle choice

The bloke called Charles, who happens to be the British head of state due to some weird fairy story about how he inherited magic blood from his German mother and her Nazi cousin (blood so special it made his brother and uncle paedophiles), has made a dramatic announcement: he is actually Satan.

‘More popular than Jesus.’

A big decline in church attendance was making news in Britain in March 1966 and twenty-five-year-old John Lennon commented on it during a long, rambling interview.

"Christianity will go.

“It will vanish and shrink.

“I needn't argue about that; I'm right and I will be proved right.

“We're more popular than Jesus now.”

the war bird

Today, it’s worth remembering that America is a nation which has long honored courage.

Throughout our history, exemplars of courage have served as rallying points during the darkest times.

Our list of heroic men and women is long.

Included on this list are the war dogs who served during the nation’s conflicts, sniffing out bombs and hidden enemies and protecting their units from unseen danger.
