I happen to watch the media today... i.e., CNN... MSNBC..... FOX,...... BBC...... Al;jazzera...... etc etc etc... Not one mention of Aaron Nushnell... Maybe I was looking at the wrong time and it was aired on other networks.. and just plain missed all the reports??? I doubt it. I wouldn't be surprised if less than 5 percent of the Western world has been informed, much less thought about. Unfortunately, when the media is completely controlled, is anyone truly surprised. Although I fully sympathize with Caitlin, I'm afraid most people don't even know about Aaron Bushnell, and never will.

[Verse 1:]
We had a trip (we had a...)
It was the best time of our lives
It meant so much to you and I
We won’t forget it until we die
Won’t let it slip (won't let it...)
I know that in a blink of an eye
It all can change, but I’ma try
To make you stay forever by my side

[Pre-Chorus:]
It doesn’t matter where we’re gonna go
Cuz baby, all that I need to know
Is that you’re with me, yeah you’re with me...

[Chorus:]
When you look me in the eyes
I know that this is right
It makes me wanna try
Tryna be the loving kind
Cuz every single moment that you’re here by my side
Means everythin’ to me, baby you know why
The minute that you’re gone
You know I can’t be strong
I’m no good on my own
Without you, it all goes wrong
Much as I wanna make you stay, boy you know I won’t
Cuz picturin’ you sleepin’ so tight is what I must do alone

[Verse 2:]
(One, two, three, I know, I know...)
I know we’re gonna have ups and downs
Sometimes we fight, but we work it out
I turn away but always turn around 
We fell in love (we fell in love, yeah)
And even though it wasn’t at first sight
We’ve been blossomin’, can you see that’s why
I am your destiny and then you’re mine...

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Oh-woah oh-aah ooh…
Oh-woah oh-aah ooh…
Ooh yeah…
You make your funny face and I laugh so hard
You make me feel like I am a piece of art
I’m so in love witchu, witchu, witchu, yeah
I’m glad that I’m witchu, witchu, witchu
(Boy I'm glad that I'm with you...)

[Chorus:]
When you look me in the eyes
I know that this is right
It makes me wanna try
Tryna be the loving kind
Cuz every single moment that you’re here by my side
Means everythin’ to me, baby you know why
The minute that you’re gone
You know I can’t be strong
I’m no good on my own
Without you, it all goes wrong
Much as I wanna make you stay, boy you know I won’t
I’m picturin’ you sleepin’ so tight…

[Chorus 2:]
And I am so thankful that you’re mine
So happy I could cry
You make everything right
You’re the reason I’m alive
Cuz every single moment that you’re here by my side
Means everythin’ to me, baby you know why
You brighten up my days
With you, I know I’m safe
And if it might be late
To admit that this is fate 
I only wanna say that I’ll never go away
As long as you’re gonna keep on lovin’ me the same

Thankful (Every Single Moment)

You simply cannot fit more America into a single incident than a man dying a horrifying death in protest of war crimes while a first responder screams at cops to stop pointing their guns at him and go get fire extinguishers.

The Most American Thing That Has Ever Happened

When the slaughter stops in Gaza
I will get to those cobwebs, promise,
and water that monstera,
and clean out that goo in the fridge.
When the slaughter stops in Gaza
I will youtube how to grow strawberries,
and whether dinosaurs ever had feathers,
and what's the deal with hibachis - 
is it something to do with fondue?
When the slaughter stops in Gaza
I will brush my hair out finally,
and call my Mum god bless her
and make her a perfect lasagna - 
no, two; I'll make one for freezing,
and I'll give Dad back his drill.
When the slaughter stops in Gaza
I will teach myself to play 'Nightswimming',
and do a drawing of that face
that I took a pic of with my camera
in that packed tram in peak-hour
Back Before All This Happened,
and I'll make some kind of cake.
When the slaughter stops in Gaza
I will sit with my love in our camp chairs,
our fingers entwined with our heart strings,
kicking coals awake til magpies
chortle "oh boy are you guys still up?"
and then I'll let him give me an orgasm - 
the kind that rips through veils.
When the slaughter stops in Gaza
I'll have my friend for dinner,
and we can watch her vampire show
and talk about her Dad
who died seven millennia and three lives ago
in September of 2023.
And we will lay upon the couch
our teeth stained black with wine,
and we will giggle about dumb things,
and one of us will fart
and the other will fall off the couch,
and it will be good and kind and sweet,
and not once will we see dead babies
or kids ripped from their mums,
or servicemen lit on fire
screaming "Free Palestine, FREE PALESTINE!"
and have our hearts thump in our mouths,
teeth clacking like a piano,
nails digging into flesh,
because everything is awful
and nothing makes sense,
and those men are so horrible,
and why won't they stop them
and why won't they stop them
and why won't they stop
why won't they stop.
But until then, I will roll out of bed,
do a chore and eat a thing,
brush my teeth and drink some water
thump my chest and howl in sorrow
hug my babies, sniff their hair,
and get back in the fight.

When The Slaughter Stops In Gaza

One of the main reasons the self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell is having such an earthshaking impact on our society is because it's the single most profound act of sincerity that any of us have ever witnessed.

So that's what happens when the imperial media report on an Israeli massacre, in case you were curious and haven't been paying attention since October 7 or the decades which preceded it.

When The Imperial Media Report On An Israeli Massacre

You have either consciously chosen to side with the people who are being continually massacred by Israel, or you have consciously chosen to side with Israel, or you have sided with Israel by being "neutral", or you have sided with Israel by being indifferent.

The European Union’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, admitted that the “era of Western dominance has indeed definitively ended”. He warned that the EU must not divide the world into “the West against the Rest”, as “many in the ‘Global South’ accuse us of ‘double standards’”. Ben Norton analyzes the historic shift.

Political economists Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson are joined by Professor C.P. Chandrasekhar to discuss what is really happening in India's economy, if its government growth statistics and other official data are accurate, the policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party BJP, and the country's 2024 elections.

The Duran Quick Take: Episode 90.

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss UK Prime Minister Theresa May's announcement that if her deal or a no-deal Brexit is rejected by MPs in the House of Commons, then her government will propose delaying the UK’s exit from the European Union.

In a similar retreat, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn announced that his party will either table or support an amendment backing a second Brexit referendum this week.

Corbyn said that Labour would support a second referendum in order to avoid a “damaging Tory Brexit”.  Corbyn went on to accuse Theresa May of “recklessly running down the clock” in an attempt to force MPs to choose between her “botched deal” or a “disastrous no deal” scenario.

SHAMEFUL! May and Corbyn fold on Brexit. Delay and 2nd referendum on the table
