Swamp Donkey - Unquiet Ambience In Our Tomb Of Dreams

Israel's demonstration of its military prowess in 1967 confirmed its status as a 'strategic asset,' as did its moves to prevent Syrian intervention in Jordan in 1970 in support of the PLO. Under the Nixon doctrine, Israel and Iran were to be 'the guardians of the Gulf,' and after the fall of the Shah, Israel's perceived role was enhanced. Meanwhile, Israel has provided subsidiary services elsewhere, including Latin America, where direct US support for the most murderous regimes has been impeded by Congress. While there has been internal debate and some fluctuation in US policy, much exaggerated in discussion here, it has been generally true that US support for Israel's militarization and expansion reflected the estimate of its power in the region.

The effect has been to turn Israel into a militarized state completely dependent on US aid, willing to undertake tasks that few can endure, such as participation in Guatemalan genocide. For Israel, this is a moral disaster and will eventually become a physical disaster as well. For the Palestinians and many others, it has been a catastrophe, as it may sooner or later be for the entire world, with the growing danger of superpower confrontation.

Swamp Donkey - Dark Skies Over Gaza

to dull the screams that echo through the dark hallways 
of their corporate souls
their destiny sealed and accepted in trade for the spoils of the earth
a deep dark sea in which they would drown

Who knows why we were taught to Fear the Witches
And not those that burned them
Or those who stood by, watching.

Swamp Donkey - Fuck Knows What It's Called

We have long suspected that impurities in thought become radioactive. It is a major problem. Fascism, one of the commonest impurities in human thought, is unquestionably radioactive.

Swamp Donkey - Radio Active

Swamp Donkey - Tomorrow Is Not a Day

Just listen you poor creature, listen without either pathos or mockery, while far away behind the veil of this hopeless idiotic and ridiculous apparatus the form of this divine music passes by. Pay attention and you will learn something. Observe what this crazy speaking-trumpet, apparently the most stupid, the most useless and the most damnable thing that the world contains, contrives to do. It take hold of some music played where you please, without distinction or discretion, lamentably distorted, to boot, and chucks it into space to land where it has no business to be; and yet after all this it cannot destroy the spirit of the music; it can only, however it may meddle and mar, lay its senseless mechanism at its feet. Listen, then, you poor thing. Listen well. You have need of it.

Baal Marqod, the Canaanite deity of dancing and chief god of Deir el-Kala in Syria, runs under the radar, but he loves to spin around. He’s an aspect of Baal, a popular Semitic god, but one that enjoys getting down. Baal Marqod’s nickname was “Lord of the Dance," in particular, cultic dancing.

Some think he might even have invented the art of dance, although other gods beg to disagree. Despite his party boy reputation (and hints that he didn’t mind coming up with a good hangover cure as a lord of healing), this god doesn’t mind flying solo now and then: his temple was on a lone mountain.

Gypsy - Baal Marqod

Let us do something, while we have the chance! It is not every day that we are needed. Not indeed that we personally are needed. Others would meet the case equally well, if not better. To all mankind they were addressed, those cries for help still ringing in our ears! But at this place, at this moment of time, all mankind is us, whether we like it or not. Let us make the most of it, before it is too late! Let us represent worthily for one the foul brood to which a cruel fate consigned us! What do you say? It is true that when with folded arms we weigh the pros and cons we are no less a credit to our species. The tiger bounds to the help of his conquerors without the least reflection, or else he slinks away into the depths of the thickets. But that is not the question. What are we doing here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in the immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come --
