Sigh - so ends another vacation.

I didn't get everything I wanted done. But I did get a lot done -

  • Wrote some new songs.
  • Recorded lots of guitar, bass, drums and keyboard parts for songs.
  • New music for future songs.
Wasn't able to get much done with vocals. I have to finally accept that I'll need to set up some sort of acoustically-treated booth of sorts to do that.

Still much more to do. It's a journey. Sometimes I wish I could do more. Sometimes I wish I had started this much sooner (though I remind myself, the technology to do what I can now, didn't exist back then).

The US and Israel militaries becoming one and the same - can't make this shit up.

And I thought it was hard to keep up with reality or the Dubya years.



Section 224 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) proposes to join the two forces together at the hip, laying the groundwork for extensive cooperation into “seemingly every manner of U.S.-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation,” according to the Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

This includes the research, development, and production of modern, hi-tech arms, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, drones, directed energy, cyber, and autonomous weapons systems. It would compel the United States to integrate Israeli arms and technologies into its defense supply chain, and fuse the countries’ data capturing and storage facilities together, meaning that Israel could have access to essentially all the U.S. military’s data.

The bill also requires the creation of a new position within the Department of Defense: an executive agent whose role is to coordinate cooperation and integration between the two parties.

In essence, then, it would dramatically change the relationship between the two states, from one where Washington supplies Tel Aviv with money, weapons, and diplomatic support, to a situation where the two are fundamentally intertwined.

This article from The Black Agenda Report reminds me WHY I don't follow the NFL.

And it's because of what the business did to this guy because he stood up (or rather took a knee) for what he saw was a great injustice, and it cost him his career.

Time for a vacation.

I'm owed many comp days for all the late evenings, overnights,  and weekend work.

How asking for it in this day and age can be like a cancer diagnosis. 

But we'll see what I can get done.
