I added to Repet by @ActorNetwork and @Caustic_Gates - just a few synth notes and part of a field recording (by @tuit). Many thanks for letting me work on this and to @disquiet for organizing this lovely project. Countless hours of fun - and a lot of interesting music!

Disquiet0638 - Repet(ition) (with Actor Network and Caustic_Gates)

Six months of this now. Half a year.
Half a year of genocide apologia.
Half a year of the most outrageous lies you can possibly imagine.
Half a year of seeing children's bodies ripped to pieces and starved to skeletons on our social media feeds.

Six Months Of Hell On Earth

Argentina's libertarian President Javier Milei ordered his intelligence agency to give full power to the CIA, while the US spy agency's director is welcomed to Buenos Aires. Ben Norton discusses how self-declared "anarcho-capitalist" Milei withdrew from BRICS, allied with Israel, and is implementing neoliberal shock therapy, selling off the South American nation in mass privatizations, as most workers live in poverty.

CIA and Wall Street are taking over Argentina: President Milei sells off his country

Australia's Defence Department has refused a Freedom of Information request about the details of an arms deal with Israel on the grounds that such information "could harm Australia's international standing and reputation," which suggests the details must be pretty damning.

Australian Military Refuses To Disclose Arms Deal With Israel To Protect Its 'Reputation'

The main reason I've focused so hard on Gaza these last six months isn't so much because of how evil and horrific Israel's mass atrocity is in and of itself, but because it's so intimately intertwined with all our world's other problems, and with the future of the human species.

Gaza Asks Us A Question About What Kind Of Future We Want To Have

Dopey Republican pundits and politicians have begun claiming that Joe Biden has "abandoned Israel" and has fallen under the control of Hamas, because this is a presidential election year and everything needs to be ten times dumber than usual.

Idiot Republicans Are Saying Genocide Joe Has 'Abandoned Israel'

I'm sick of hearing October 7 mentioned in the same breath as Israel's incineration of Gaza as though they're equal or even comparable. A thousand Israelis dying (probably hundreds by indiscriminate IDF fire) is not comparable to tens of thousands of Palestinians (probably more) being deliberately exterminated by high tech war machinery, even if before you account for the fact that Israel was the aggressor and that the violence of the oppressed is not comparable to the violence of the oppressor in the first place.

Israeli Suffering Is Not Comparable To Palestinian Suffering

The political theatrics continue in the courtroom. In this episode, I discuss the latest Trump trial and the outrageous revelations.

The Scam Trump Trial Opens With A Scandalous Revelation (Ep 2230)

A major Congress member and top former Trump administration official published an article calling to overthrow China's government. They boasted that the US is waging a new cold war and must win it, while proposing a military budget of $1.4 trillion per year. Ben Norton debunks the deceptions of the warmongers in Washington.
