And all our US politicians can do, is offer varying degrees of managing a genocide. Truly horrid state of affairs ~

The ongoing high-tech genocide in Palestine is a harbinger of what is to come for the rest of the world.

Madness, sheer madness:

Health officials in Gaza said Thursday that the official death toll from Israel’s 10-month war has topped 40,000, though that is believed to be a vast undercount of the true figure. The grim milestone was reached just days after the Biden administration greenlit $20 billion in additional weapons s...

From Matthew Cooke:

Last night’s US-backed Israeli strikes murdered children, women, elderly, disabled, and civilians, sheltering in makeshift tents.

Like his support for the illegal invasion of Iraq and the lies about WMDs, Biden is involved in war crimes, and this administration is single handedly responsible for politically backing and financing an unconscionable massacre of civilians, mass starvation and the total destruction of an entire people.

And for what cause? Ethno-nationalist supremacy. A total fantasy of separateness.

Democrats constantly criticize republicans for their loyalty to Trump over country or humanity. They constantly criticize republicans for white nationalism and bigotry.

Election day is months away. How many more children must perish before democrats demand humanity prevails?

Democrats must lead by example and call their representatives to account. And elect better stewards of our government.

Or the cycle of war and trauma continues.

We don't want another dime spent on genocide. We want housing, healthcare, meaningful work, the breakup of monopoly strangleholds over all aspects of human life. And we want an end to war.

You may have noticed that a great deal of content has been removed from my profile. Yes, I removed it because. either one or two (could be both) things is taking place. I'm being shadowbanned by FB or people are just not that into my work.

The first of these possibilities has already taken place on YouTube with my work, so I kinda know it when I see it. The second of the possibilities, well, let's just say I'm a big boy and I can handle it.

I would like to say this however: putting RMG content together takes a great deal of effort given that I'm partially-paralyzed on my left side and have use of only one hand. Add to that, the fatigue that comes with surviving two serios strokes, many mini-strokes and living with the disease (Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) that brought all those things about... well you get the picture.

I've moved a large portion of RMG's content to our Patreon page. In spite of my challenges, I am endeavoring to be productive and to make an impact. Here's to hoping you can be a part of that.

How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States.” That’s the title of a new book examining a part of the U.S. that is often overlooked: the nation’s overseas territories from Puerto Rico to Guam, former territories like the Philippines, and its hundreds of military bases scattered across the globe. We speak with the book’s author, Daniel Immerwahr, who writes, “At various times, the inhabitants of the U.S. Empire have been shot, shelled, starved, interned, dispossessed, tortured and experimented on. What they haven’t been, by and large, is seen.” Immerwahr is an associate professor of history at Northwestern University.

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Hundreds of protesters in Tunisia's capital took to the streets on Saturday to denounce racism and express solidarity towards migrants after the country's increasingly authoritarian leader claimed there’s a plot to erase his country’s identity by bringing in sub-Saharan Africans.

People shouting “no to racism,” “solidarity with migrants” and “no to police crackdown” marched through central Tunis as part of the demonstration staged by Tunisia’s journalists union and several nongovernmental organizations.

From our friends at Mideast Discourse:

"This is part two of a two-part study on the Canadian role in the US-NATO attack on Syria for regime change. Canada has blood on its hands. The Canadian government had understood from US intelligence that the Obama plan to destroy Syria was based on using the Muslim Brotherhood, and the political ideology known as Radical Islam, as the foot soldiers inside Syria. The Canadian government understood that the Muslim Brotherhood had infiltrated Canadian society and was involved with the Canadian government at the highest levels. The threat to Canada was known, but the decision was made to blindly follow Washington’s dirty war in Syria.

US President Obama is the main villain in this story, but Canada was capable of standing firm against plans to use Radical Islamic terrorists to change governments abroad..."

This is from a CD I put together over 2 decades ago titled: "Black History Thru Music." This clip is from the second CD in the series addressing the origins of the African slave trade. A by-product of a live presentation I've done over the years, also, called Thru Music.

I'm done feeling ashamed about needing help to do the work that I must do, thanks to those who helped; I really appreciate those who desired to but couldn't.

Three former Minneapolis police officers were found guilty on all counts by a jury Thursday in the federal trial over George Floyd's death.

Federal indictment
Count one

Count one specifically notes that Chauvin held his left knee on Floyd's neck — and his right knee on Floyd's back and arm — while Floyd was handcuffed and not resisting. Chauvin kept his knees on Floyd's body even after he became unresponsive, the count states. The indictment claims that Chauvin's actions violated Floyd's constitutional right to be free from the use of unreasonable force by a police officer.

Count two

Count two of the indictment claims Thao and Kueng "willfully failed to intervene to stop Chauvin's use of unreasonable force."

Count three

Count three of the indictment claims that all four ex-officers watched Floyd lying on the ground "in clear need of medical care and willfully failed to aid him."

All four officers "willfully deprived Mr. Floyd of his constitutional right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law, which includes an arrestee's right to be free from a police officer's deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs," the indictment states.

Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane, and Tou Thao faced civil rights violations in George Floyd's death.

Great piece by Ron Jacobs

Let’s pretend Rittenhouse was a leftist/BLM protester and had murdered two pro-police protesters in the same scenario like the one he was in when he killed those men. I doubt he would be a free man today. Instead, he would have been portrayed as the active shooter that he was, walking the streets of Kenosha fully armed and under the illusion he had the right to shoot people if they challenged him. In this imaginary circumstance, the pro-police protesters attempting to disarm a scared left-wing Rittenhouse would have been the heroes, and that Rittenhouse would have been the killer the real Rittenhouse is. This scenario assumes that a murdering left-wing Rittenhouse would not have been shot down in the streets by the police—a big assumption. I have protested too many Klan and N**i rallies that were protected by the forces of law and order to think otherwise.

Another right-wing vigilante walks free in the USA. The fact that I was even mildly hopeful Kyle Rittenhouse would get some prison time only proves my

Appropriate for the times:
"The news that’s being reported from every corner of the media is the rallies involving thousands of citizens across the country in the aftermath of the not-guilty-on-all-counts verdict in the Zimmerman trial. As much as this writer absolutely hates to appear to be jumping on the proverbial bandwagon, there are some stories that transcend that disdain and this is one of them – because I hate even more the notion that it’s alright to declare open season on Black children.
And if we think that “not guilty on all counts” was the only message sent by this trial, think again. There were many things that Black people in America were told as result of the Zimmerman verdict. None of which are new, but even after 400 years, they are no less painful.
