Where Culture Vultures come to roost, since 2004!

Don't confuse or conflate 'media' with journalism.

Real journalism requires bravery, and that can cost one their life.

Like here -

Israel kills six Palestinian journalists including Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammad Qreiqe

The massacre raised the death toll of Palestinian journalists killed by Israel since October 7, 2023 to 238.

Still clinging to some belief that Zionism doesn't have a control on American Media?

Wipe your ass of that shit then. Your beliefs have been clinging to you ass for too long.

Israel’s Biggest US Donor Now Owns CBS

After reaching an agreement with President Trump, David Ellison—the son of the second-richest man in the world, Larry Ellison—has acquired Paramount Global, the media giant that owns CBS News.

Larry Ellison, the largest private funder of the Israel Defense Forces, is deeply tied to the Israeli national security state and counts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu among his closest friends.

David has already announced significant changes at CBS, promising “unbiased” news coverage and “varied ideological perspectives,” which are widely understood to signal a shift toward right-wing, pro-Trump coverage. Worse still, Bari Weiss, a journalist with a long history of zealous pro-Israel advocacy, is being considered as the network’s new ombudsman, shaping its political direction, precisely because of her “pro-Israel stance.”

Hmm ... interesting.

A character who's about defending innocent people and saving lives on his adopted planet goes about ACTUALLY defending innocent people and saving lives, and legacy-minded establishment types freak out about it.

https://mondoweiss.net/2025/07/film-review-james-gunns-superman-cements-israels-villain-status-in-the-american-imagination/ 

Some of the clips I've seen of this film have the character as too whiny and bitchy. But those were clips - any context might be missing.

That being said, I still think that if a major film corporation (which has been a cornerstone of American Empire propaganda since its founding) puts out media that remotely is critical of its origins, suggests that it's desperately wanting the public to hand over their money to them.

Well ya know something brother! 'Solidarity' is just another term to describe the things that are really needed - democracy and socialism.

No where in this (otherwise well-written) article are those words - along with capitalism - even mentioned.

My top 5 favorite rock records of the 1980s.

Attributes - 

  • Heavy Drums 
  • Punchy Rhythm Guitar sound/great riffs
  • High melodic vocals and harmonies 

Some caveats -

  • Records are in English.
  • They may have a lighter or pop song on them, but overall, they are both heavy and hard.

Without further ado (and in no order), here they are - 

5. Eliminator - ZZ Top
4. Reckless - Bryan Adams
3. Appetite For Destruction - Guns N' Roses
2. Hysteria - Def Leppard
1. Back In Black - AC/DC 
 
What do you think?

Unions demand legal action against Tata Consultancy Services over mass layoffs and labor rights violations

TCS, India’s largest software company, has announced plans to layoff around 2% of its global workforce this year which would translate into over 12,000 mid and senior-level employees losing their jobs.

Propaagnda and Profit - how Google and other American Software Technology corporations collude w/Israel to commit genocide against brown Palestinians.

https://www.mintpressnews.com/alan-macleod-israel-google-genocide/290317/

Thugs and bullies always end up in positions of power in US Crapitalist Empire - why?

Because it's the basic function of the system.

End to another vacation.

Sigh.

At least I got some things done.

Also means a ton of emails, correspondence, and actions for next week.

Yay me.

I think with all the slate of Hollywood film releases around comicbook/newpaper cartoon superheroes ... I think they've finally run their course for me.

I mean, how many times can Warner Brothers (or DC, or Time-Warner, or AOL/Time-Warner, or whatever the fuck they call themselves today) ... tell the same 'origin' story of an 'alien' (the lone survivor who makes it to Earth, and is by remarkable coincidence a white guy) who is raised by two white farmer (installing good ole' American Homeland values of hard work and loyalty) and may critique the system, but ultimately never challenge it?

Besides - calling it 'live-action' is questionable at best. Most of it is computer-generated imagery. 

To me, it's a reminder that Hollywood is essentially the de-facto propaganda arm of the US Crapitalist Empire, and it always has been.

Telling an original and entertaining story (without trying to turn it in to repeatable/profitable venture) is beyond their realm.

What - no connection between Zionism, Imperialism, and Crapitalism?

Ding dong - you're wrong!

https://peoplesdispatch.org/2025/07/30/knessets-approval-of-west-bank-annexation-advances-key-goals-of-zionist-project/ 

The Knesset’s decision is an attempt to legalize a de facto annexation, says Omar Assaf

Peoples Dispatch spoke to Palestinian political activist, analyst, and writer Mr. Omar Assaf to discuss more about the repercussions of the Knesset’s decision on the political situation in the West Bank.

Assaf argues that the endorsement of the annexation by Israeli lawmakers is part of the age-old Zionist colonial project, which is based on the concept of “a land without a people for a people without a land”, and therefore entails the extermination of the Palestinian people to seize their homeland.

The Palestinian political writer, indicated that Theodor Herzl, who is widely recognized as the founder of political Zionism, entrenched this concept by linking it to biblical narratives, which promotes Joshua’s perpetual servitude of the Indigenous people of Canaan, who chose to stay in their lands as “hewers of wood and carriers of water”, in order not to be otherwise “banished or exterminated”.

“Israeli historians Ilan Pappé and Tom Segev also suggested that forced displacement and ethnic cleansing represent the essence of the Zionist Project,” Assaf added.

He added that the forced displacement of the people of his home village Bayt Nabala by the Israeli military on July 13, 1948, is a clear example of the ethnic cleansing policy, which Israel has implemented since it was established. The entire population of his village was forcibly displaced, although Bayt Nabala was under the sovereign control of the Arab State in accordance with the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine (known as Resolution 181) adopted in 1947.

This in turn, confirms that the Knesset’s resolution is nothing more than a procedure to legalize actions that have already been implemented on the ground including settlement projects, and isolating the areas of the occupied West Bank from each other by setting up gates and checkpoints, turning them into cantons.

“The Knesset’s approval of the motion would further undermine any efforts towards the two-states solution or the establishment of a Palestinian state,” Assaf affirmed.

Let's be honest - Jeffrey Epstein was connected to the Israel Mossad.

https://blackagendareport.com/us-media-barely-touches-epstein-links-israeli-intelligence

I mean it's pretty obvious considering who is accomplice - Ghislaine Maxwell - is ...

“It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that Epstein had connections to the [Israeli intelligence community],” Brown said in a July 2021 interview with The Times of Israel to promote her book, Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story. “Robert Maxwell certainly had those kinds of connections, and Epstein had a close relationship with Robert Maxwell.”

Unlikely story

Maxwell is the British media mogul who had secretly worked for Mossad before drowning under mysterious circumstances in 1991. A 2022 BBC documentary series, House of Maxwell, revealed  how Epstein helped Maxwell hide millions of his assets in offshore accounts after the newspaper tycoon was accused of plundering his employees’ pension funds.

Ultimately, more than a billion dollars was found missing from the Maxwell firms.

Epstein and associate Ghislaine Maxwell, the youngest of Robert Maxwell’s nine children and reportedly his favorite, recruited and trafficked underage girls who were sexually abused by Epstein and, it is contended, at least by some of the many powerful individuals he made a point of meeting and catering to.

 Amazing how the metoo movement is pretty silent on all things Epstein.

Universal Health Coverage dominates global health policy, yet millions remain excluded as governments fail to address issues of power and justice in health.
