Genocide and Complicity.

When it comes to Genocide, it is being witnessed by all of us ordinary people across Earth. We know that in Gaza, in Palestine, whether we are looking at it or not, a Genocide it is being made to happen.

Even as I write it is being committed. I feel impotent. I cannot help in any immediate way.

Genocide is being broadcast as it happens. This genocide is being televised by citizen journalism.

Mobile phones and cameras and drones are recording and broadcasting the gory detail that shows what war really is - perhaps for the first time ever - to a mass global civilian population who every day are now seeing the immediate impacts of industrialised hi-tech total warfare waged against civilians. It is a horror of horrors.

Every war waged upon a civilian population has done the same, and we've never really seen it, we've only tales of survival, hagiography of the victors, governments call for more budget for 'defence'. So now we know. No going back from that. This cannot be un-seen.

Deliberate, being made to happen.

It is being made to happen, men and women are making decisions to ensure the slaughter and destruction and collective punishment does not stop, and it should not ever be happening. It MUST stop.

Men and women are deciding to commit war crimes. Ordinary people are being needlessly harmed beyond all tolerance.

The opinions of anyone of us are beside the point. The justifications being made by those who justify such atrocity are beside the point.

The legal, moral and humane intelligent empathy side of this matter is united.

It Must Stop.

Supporting those engaged in the dominant violent position is complicity, by degree. It just is. This is not a judgemental statement, it is a statement of fact. By degree means the further away from a position of power to influence matters, the less one's complicity is.

Now, there's little complicity of the average liberal democracy or theocracy or authoritarian tax payer compared to others in their respective states who hold high officer and wield political and civil power to support the violators of War and Humanitarian Law in this matter. And in all matters of a similar nature.

Us ordinary folk - you and I and our neighbours, the people's of urban dwellings all about us, are the ones who always pay the full cost of war.

We are, as individuals, impotent in the face of military violence and corrupt national and international diplomacy. The ruling class want us to internalise enough of the nation state to protect them from us, with them hiding behind the state.

They are happy when we accuse each other of complicity, even more so when we argue their opinions, and vote according to the public defined opinions, rather than the evidence.

Our individual complicity is minor. Throwing it at each other as an accusation is a futile cause, it does not serve us ordinary people.

Establishing a humane political and civil power base

Where we do have a reliable resource of political power is in each other, as a community of ordinary folk, understanding we are all accidents of birth, understanding our need and desire, born of healthy common sense, that we would be best served if we were to look out for one another, in mutual aid, and turn that to political association.

We have yet to establish this power, and when we do, we will do what we can to undo the warring states syndrome culture.

Turn away from the ruling class, turn to each other, and then take the kinds of action that a healthy population can take, and see where we lead into.

Kindest regards

They did not lose their lives.

Nuttyahoo has a war, AI AI Booom!

It is not a matter of looking around to see where those lives were misplaced, forgotten, left behind, dropped behind the sofa, dropped by accident as we got out of the car, left behind in the supermarket.

Their lives were stolen and not by stealth.

Their lives were taken, openly, in full view, not in a secret act or by mistake - their bodies were ruined, destroyed, violently, cruelly, intentionally. Block by block. AI AI oh.

Limbs were ripped from bodies. Hands that will never caress a grandchild's forehead, legs that will never dance again, fingers that will never again play music or prepare food and share it lovingly.

Throats that will never laugh again, or sing lullabies, or pray, eyes that will not tear up in bliss or sadness.

Their internal organs were crushed by pressure waves from hi-tech explosive munitions designed to do exactly that, delivered from the most advanced jets that industry can build, by shells sent by tanks and howitzers, carefully aimed to cause the most destruction possible.

AI AI Oh!

Their hearts will not flutter in new love, their lungs will not fill nor will their throats and hearts sing at weddings, their eyes will not see the years of growth and maturation of their children, or their parents, they will not take selfies at sunset to share to their friends and family.

Their guts were spilled, splattered and spread across the walls that no longer stand to protect these families that they might sleep soundly and in love. Body bags of parts of bodies, the remains, what is left is unrecognisable as a person, as a human being.

They were blinded, they were broken in pieces, they were battered and brutalised and their surviving relatives had to bury them under an AI rain of hellfire, rockets and white phosphorus.

AI AI oh.

The survivors sleepless with trauma can see the stars, they can see the moon and they can see the flares through the spaces where ceilings once kept them safe from the rain and the sun.

They have no toilets, no fresh running water, they have no food. They have no medicines, they have no counselling. They comfort each other by being still in it together, sharing what is left, which is closer to nothing with each and every bombing raid. They have no cookers, they have no fridges and they live under plastic sheeting, they live crowded into the remaining homes, a family in each room, shivering in fear, in despair, in unbearable condition waiting for the bomb earmarked for that dwelling. They know the meaning of Genocide. The lived experience, short as it is, unbearable as it is is still far too long.

AI AI oh.

The Israeli State War diet is to the death of all the innocents, their sordid claim that peace is the aim of this growing pile of bones of Palestinian families is vulgar psychopathy institutionalised.

The USUK ruling class cheer them on. The USUK media dumb down their reporting. The USUK ruling class urge restraint in public, citing self defence, while they allow the Israeli State to continue. ‘Tone it down a bit’ they say, in public.

They send more weapons to Ukraine, they send more weapons to Israel, they send more weapons everywhere war is active, as their shares in warfare industries increase in value.

These are our Ruling Class. We vote for them and we pay them. And this is what we get. We are the lucky ones. They will not bomb us, will they?

We see this on our screens. We see this on our phones.

I have long known that every war does this. This is what war is. No war has ever been fought without harming the innocents, men, women, children and elders and their villages and towns, their cities. Horror movies are scary, war is disgusting, revolting, degrading.

There are no heroes, the myth of honour is a veil.

It takes real human courage, it takes immense effort, it tales great heart and kindness to make Peace the task. It will take all of us to make peace a reality.

Today the USUK population correctly protest, pointing to the innocence of these Palestinian families. We hate marching, the weathers is not great, and we fervently wish we had nothing to protest, that we could instead demonstrate love and make empathy our polity’s core - our marches are not hatred, even though the ruling class hate them. Striking nurses do not hate, they care.

We did not hold our War criminals to account in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and six and seven and eight and beyond, even as we had the evidence.

They all walk free, enriched, pensioned, protected and they have more than they need, whilst poverty is intentionally maintained in order to ensure the wealth extraction faction remains dominant.

We - you and I and our neighbours, we who live on every street - we cannot undo the harm done, and we must ask ourselves now - 'What can we do to prevent more harm?'

How do we live on with integrity, without relying on hope, faith or comfort to get us through and where will we find the shared determination to end the warfare that we are all paying for, so that peace has a chance?

The cost of murder crisis has many layers.

They did not lose their lives, they will not get them back, we know where they went, we still have ours.

Secret Santa : and a christmess Christmas carol

Secret Santa.

Sometimes I wish Santa was secret,

that no-one knew his or her name...

more secret than the CIA

Egalitarian Indigenous Culture - good people, shared parenting.

so secret that no one knew of him, or her.

Or it.

It is a thing. A concept. Santa was always dead. Santa is a zombie.

I wish....

that millions and millions of microplastic tyred miles and tons and gigatons of plastic toys and wrapping would simply vanish.

They won't.

The plastic just gets smaller and smaller and smaller until we are drinking it without seeing it, we are peeing it.

A bit like Christmess shopping - we do not see the poison, for it is covered in glitter.

We pay for that!?

The roads are still clogged with plastic shedding carbon dioxide exhausting metal boxes moving flesh and merchandise, for more shopping..

Patterns.

Faith in the myth appears to be sapping, replaced by open lies.

Mental emotional wrapping, a clingy film of cultural appropriations toxic mimicry.

Do it!

Unwrap yourself.

Do it now!

Feel the relief!

Imagine plastic

created to miraculously bio-degrade, by clear thinking..

designed to be

re-up

-taken,

(sorry Liam Neeson and Luc Besson!)

"we will find you and we will re-use you!"

thus, cycling nurture into a myriad web of living, caring for

the world that we make safe for all its children, for all our children, for all of their lives.

Will we unshrinkwrap our Earth?

I wish.

Wish is one thing, what we do another -

Some things are assuredly worth the bother.

Christmas?

I can't be bothered.

I think I am immune.

Though not immune to the pollution, not immune to the poisoning of the habitat, and, happily, I am also not immune to the love of chocolate. And mince pies. And family and community. Sharing time, feasting together, chillaxing in love.

Christmas without the pollution might be a worthy solution, the best gift we can give Is always love, because love guides action in ways that maintains a life of dignity.

From the cradle to the cradle.

this song, my Christmas wish, humbly.

Genocide Is Shameless

image source and other images from Gaza 2023

Through early morning bombs I see

The nightmare of the civilians who flee

the crimes that are so clear to me

I realize and I can see...

that genocide is shameless

It brings on deathly changes

and we can’t take or leave it if we please.

We try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

And now we all know that it's already far too late, and...

The game of war is hardly play

Bomb dusted children now bleed out every day.

The humanitarian pause is useless now,

so this is all there is to say:

that genocide is shameless

It brings on deathly changes

and we can’t take or leave it if we please.

We try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

And now we all know that it's already far too late,

The way the Rulers win is to cheat

flay down the children - victory complete.

The moral army wades indiscrete

In rivers of blood, the task complete..

Oh genocide is shameless

It brings on deathly changes

and we can’t take or leave it if we please.

We try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

And now we all know that it's already far too late,

The sword of crime will pierce their skins

It already hurts when it begins

And as it works its way on in

The pain grows stronger...while we watch Death grin.

and genocide is shameless

It brings on deathly changes

and we can’t take or leave it if we please.

We try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

And now we all know that it's already far too late,

A brave man once requested me

to answer questions that are key

is it to be or not to be bombed

I replied ‘what can I do?’ for I am numbed.

'Cause genocide is shameless

it brings on deathly changes

and we can’t take it or leave it as we plea.

Ceasefire and stop the killing

From the river to the sea.

Cab you imagine 2 million people, families, streets, wards and boroughs being bombed out of their homes in London?
