The show must go on. The circus cannot afford any break in its schedule. Acrobats and clowns are painting their faces for another show tonight.
Meanwhile, nine days after the climate disaster in Valencia, some are able to sleep, some are not. The stench in the many towns struck off the map of Valencia is unbelievable. Corpses are being found every day.
But Reuters is full of joyful news from the markets. A climate disaster here, a genocide there … who cares. Reuters certainly doesn’t. Nor do the other main news outlets. After all, they are not the victims of climate change.
Meanwhile, again – need I say it? – the massacres in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen continue. Business as usual. KILL, KILL, KILL in the name of “Democracy”.
The US and Israel, on a par with the Nazis, are continuing their business of committing a sadistic genocide. History will revile the memory of both nations, just as history reviles the memory of the Nazis, but who cares: their leaders won’t be around to feel the shame.
Yes, Trump will surely be bad, but he can be no worse because there is no possible worse,
With the support of the European nations (mainly the European Commission and UK government), massacres beyond what anybody thought was imaginable are being perpetrated every day! History will revile the memory of the EU and the UK, but who cares: their leaders won’t be around to feel the shame.
However the worst collaborator has been the corporate media, whose silence actively aided and abetted genocide; whose continued silence to this day helps suppress outrage while Palestinian children are being bombed, starved to death, deprived of medical care, crushed under bombed buildings, killed on their way to hospitals or burnt to death while in hospitals; whose callous indifference has disregarded the deliberate targeting of reporters and photographers and health workers.
Instead the corporate media, that degenerate slut, has echoed Netanyahu’s outrageous lies and sold candy floss at the electoral circus, despite the deadly floods ravaging Africa, the terrible hurricanes and fires even in the US, the apocalypse in Valencia… People are dying in the hundreds and thousands due to US and European callousness and Israeli sadism, while the corporate media has been singing Ode to Joy with Vice President Harris.
The corporate media, whose silence aided and abetted genocide, has now lost a US presidential election and for that, at least, there is reason to smile for a moment, since Trump is not their darling. Not that anything good can be expected from him or any other US president.
The millions and millions AND millions of victims of US domestic and foreign policy are not limited to USA, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Palestine, or even Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia. Serbia and now Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. Far from it.
No, the victims of US/Israeli iniquities and media silence are not alone. Many decades ago the record Ballad of the Fallen was dedicated to US victims in Central America. Here is the track “Silence”.
