One Thousand Places to Die Before You're Seen!

Such a trite concept; the idea that we should each have compiled a list of places to visit before we might die. Mega-high altitude- although not 'outer space' as is currently being termed (some pundits)- being but another of those tourist destinations. 'A thousand places to see before you die!'

We may well be living in a time of Genocide but let's all make sure to do our bit for the mighty age of consumerism! Don't look at that abomination, visit this beauty spot! Life made simple, if one has the funds!

'Democracy' Washes Death across the Middle East?
Another delegation of medical staff- fifteen this time!- mown down and murdered by Israel, the only 'democracy' in the Middle East!' 'Democracy?' Who voted for this? Well, much of the Israeli population although, if you rely on British MSM, you might well be unaware quite how alarmingly reactionary has become Starmer's 'greatest ally in the Middle East.

Initially Israel blustered that the vehicles were approaching suspiciously and without lights! In the heat of war, mistakes occur, of course they do! Except, this is all so old hat now- Israel murdering then lying to the world press. One might readily assume that Israel these days lies more easily than they speak truth. Assisted so admirably by the likes of the BBC, with its hot line to the IDF. Or else the Starmer Government, with fingers armpit deep in consequent body parts?

Evidence, following hot on the heels of truth, informs us that Israel has murdered yet more medical workers, to tally alongside the journalists it routinely targets, the children, entire sleeping families! Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, dontcha know!

The list of journalists killed in the line of their duty is now in the region of 220 and climbing! But, it's not just journalists, is it? It's whole extended families, brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles ,aunts! Curiously, during much of this time, the BBC has claimed that footage from inside Gaza has been difficult, at times 'impossible' to obtain. As more and more and more floods out British MSM has reverted, instead, to 'difficult to verify'- that's you, Clive Myrie, you and your flagship BBC Verify. The Corporation, with its host of obedient client journalists, for reasons inexplicable, often tends to regard itself as party to a higher cause. Which cause, might that be? No wonder the Corporation was reluctant to properly report upon the hours and hours and hours of footage and testimony used by the ICJ to prosecute Israel for 'plausible' Genocide! The World Health Organisation has verified over 650 attacks on healthcare facilities inside Gaza, with over 1,300 deaths of Medical Staff! Which, I believe, is more than WW1, WW2, the Korean and the Vietnam Wars combined. But, don't worry about all that, listen instead to Clive Myrie, banging on about his reason for getting up in the morning- we might laugh if we could just stem the tears! A shout out to the Middle East's only democracy!

It transpired that the vehicles were fully lit- like a Christmas tree to the slaughter! What now from the murdering IDF? Seemed likely that there had been some sort of 'honest mistake.' Time to let those who committed the murders investigate? What thought the Foreign Secretary, the Right Honourable David Lammy? Any Idea if British supplied parts were involved, Dave? And, don't forget to wipe your nose!

Then, evidence that the murderers had tried to bury the evidence in a shallow grave. Were any of the medical staff unearthed with hands tied behind their backs? If so, it most certainly wouldn't be the first time, would it? If one dared to speak these truths from within the Labour Party would Sir Keir Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, let us not forget, be more inclined to express outrage at the actions of rogue state Israel, or to remove the whip from the outraged MPs? What are the chances of Mr Lammy perhaps fashioning a spine from the broken bodies of the thousands of murdered children and standing to address the House? What's his record like thus far? Man's very keen on spouting some sort of human rights myth. Still, he did look lovely in that shot with fan of the Genocide, Tzipi Hotovely- wet patch perfectly photo-shopped away.

Another hospital reduced to rubble on Israel's free pass on the world stage of inhuman indecency!


Spending on defence to be increased to 3% GDP by the next parliament! It's a dangerous world, dontcha know? No lifting of the two child benefit cap! Removal of the winter fuel allowance for a great many pensioners, in a cost of living crisis! Exactly what will be left that's worth defending with this increase in defence spending? Not really 'defence spending, is it Sir Keir? Tell it as it is... Offense Spending to be increased to 3% by the next parliament!

Terrorism through the looking glass!
Hamas aims to challenge its designated 'terrorist' label. Whilst they're doing so what do we think the chances are that their lawyers will be safe from Israeli drone targeting? It's a serious question; whatever the likely answer, still it should be asked. Israel routinely shuns respect for international borders should it's government take a disliking to particular individuals or groups. The US of A- leaders of the free world, dontcha know!- routinely hands out the free passes and the UK routinely ends up having to wipe its nose. So, who's really the greater terrorist threat to stability in the Middle East and beyond?

If Hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation, not just the military wing, the entirety, then, scale of the international crimes being duly considered, why not Israel? Why not the IDF, or the IOF (Israeli Occupation Force) as they are often labelled? Only one side in this 'conflict'- really it's a slaughter- is on trial at the ICJ for plausible Genocide! If justice is to be even-handed then those who supplied the arms might, justly, be regarded as being responsible for an increase in the scale of murder, War Crimes and ultimately Genocide? Just a well considered thought! That would implicate 'free world' USA, Germany and the UK. In the context of an ongoing plausible Genocide, this does raise serious questions on the subject of the terrorist label and who best deserves it, doesn't one think?

Jewish Holocaust Survivor perceived as a threat to good ol' British values!
Stephen Kapos, an 87 year old Holocaust survivor, is to be questioned by MET Police because he dared to lay flowers at Trafalgar Square 18th January 2025, in silent protest at the slaughter of the tens of thousands of Palestinian children by the rogue state of Israel. Large sections of the UK's media would have it that this act somehow may have caused Jewish persons in the region to feel threatened. 'Then they came for those who dared to be appalled at the slaughter of children, but I did not protest because I was not concerned about the slaughter of innocent children,' Martin Niemöller might have added to his famous poetic warning! If, as seems most unlikely, perhaps dishonest, anyone should find the silent laying of flowers in any way threatening then I am going to suggest that they have never spent 18 months starved of food and water, eking out something far short of what is internationally recognised as minimal human rights, watching friends, family, neighbours being atomised on an hourly basis. And, they, most certainly, will not have done so!

Police have cited Public Order Act conditions, moving more widely to seriously curtail the (former) right to protest. The MET working to keep public order on our streets and to bring about a wider sense of security for the 'whole' population? Can't have 87 year old pensioners intimidating communities can we? And, if we need reminding what genuine intimidation looks like we can do no better than to remind ourselves how peacefully the Sarah Everard vigil was MET Policed! Can't have women gathering to mark the murder of one young woman at the hands of one of the MET's own, can we? Write it as it is, journalists, 'anti-terror legislation being used to 'terrorise' critics of UK Government, hence often Genocide!

Protecting British Jews from the harm of living under the shadow of Genocide?
In particular, by attempting to pretend that the State of Israel is not currently in the act of Ethnically Cleansing Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights- all illegally occupied territories- daily raining down Western-supplied weapons of death, thus the constituent parts of an ongoing Genocide.

The British Board of Deputies' record on this Genocide is a truly shameful one! Even by British MSM standards (pitifully low!) the BOD, self-appointed voice of the entire British Jewish population- although not really, as Stephen Kapos would testify- has pretty much applauded Israeli War Crimes from the sidelines throughout. The UK's worst offending 'media' outlet, the Jewish Chronicle would know; their record in legal payouts is unparalleled- perhaps more a damnation of OFCOM than the JC or the BOD, both the latter already widely recognised to be flushed beyond the gutter! So, in the light of the shameful record of both BoD and JC, it should be known that the Palestinian bloodshed is now such that, first, JC and now Bod have ceased being able to stifle the weeping ghost of guilty conscience within the ranks.

First the Jewish Chronicle rag immersed itself so deeply into the spilt blood of Palestinian children that even the likes of Jonathan Freedland felt unable to stomach any more, eternal victim David Baddiel wept that he could no longer allow his 'good' name to be tainted by association. Then, even some amongst the sorry ranks of the hermetic BoD felt driven to go so far as to pen a short letter to the Financial Times, stating that their blind eye can no longer be turned upon Gaza. Tight in support of continued infanticide the BoD immediately sought to suspend its vice chairperson, Harriett Goldberg, along with 35 further members. One would have to wonder quite what further War Crime might have pushed the 36 to lift that heavy pen! Or, for that matter, BBC's Jonathan Freedland or 'I Don't Count's' David Baddiel. Heavens, if such 'highly principled' peoples as these can have spotted one severed child limb too many then surely it must be time for Human Rights experts like Sir Keir Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service and the Right Honourable David Lammy, future Lord Lammy, to act...
... but no! Apparently not quite yet! Too few deaths or something? What hope for humanity?

Not content with instantly relaying Israel's and US President Biden's falsehood that 40 babies were beheaded and that rape was widely perpetrated on 7th October 2023- wonder what Mr Myrie's 'Pursuit of Truth' has to say on the matter- the UK's Government wishes to continue to fund the nation's share in the Genocide. Apparently even journalist par excellence, Fiona Bruce, has nailed her name to the mast! I think a few inches of the timbers may still be visible above the waves, Fiona. Or not? When Sports Presenter Gary Lineker is able to make such short work of BBC Political Journalist Amol Rajan one really must start to ask a few questions, beyond those being framed by Bruce/Myrie/Rajan/Freedland/Tim Davie/Robbie Gibb et al! If we did but know it the Corporation is bustling with staff who are far from happy with its efforts. When the US ans UK supplied missiles fall silent and the US and UK enabled bulldozers move in to attempt to bury and curtail the body-part counting, who amongst us really wants to have our name associated with Genocide, or as cover for the act, no matter in what minor part? So, Bruce/Myrie/Rajan/Freedland/Tim Davie/Robbie Gibb et al, what sort of legacy are you seeking to furnish?

Free dining and Drinks!
Why not Cheer on the Ethnic Cleansing whilst holidaying at Disney? Former possible fan of the Nazis, now via his ghost, continues to pledge its full support for the ongoing Genocide, from across the Waves, both Atlantic and Mediterranean. But, do beware! Should one choose to take the family, do be careful to read the Ts-and-Cs if you subscribe to the TV Channel. Should you or any member of your group happen to sustain any sort of life changing or life ending mishap whilst holidaying at the resort you'll likely have signed away any legal means to compensation care of an 'infinite arbitration clause.' Other mega-corporations, like also Israeli super fan, Airbnb, DirectTV and Walmart are following Disney's 'happy' lead. Can't have Israeli arms monies being frittered away upon the misfortunes of others can we? No matter whoever might be culpable!

On the issue of whether Walt Disney was really a fully fledged fan of the Nazis imagine the might of the Disney Empire, imagine its huge wealth and political clout! Imagine also quite how much work may have gone into denying the claim that Disney and certain Nazis were ever on very chummy terms! Yet still there is much, and on a far smaller budget, to suggest that things may well have been otherwise. Either way, today's resultant empire seems to have found one heck of a best fit modern day ogre to keep on cheering from the sidelines! As with 21st Century Germany, it is possible to have been very much on the wrong side of both Genocides. History's more thorough academics are likely to record it as such!

As Israel now quite openly weaponises starvation and disease through an absolute blockade of all food, fuel and water (not) entering Gaza, still those such as the Right Honourable David Lammy, future Member of the House of Lords, wrangles events such that the UK may continue to fund arms to Israel, to supply military reconnaissance via Akrotiri in Cyprus. We all watched Sir Keir Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, give a nod to Israel's initial push to starve Palestinian children, women and non-combatant men, first time round. Has anyone seen him condemning Israeli attempts at weaponising starvation and disease this time? Thought not!

Nothing in the manner of aid has entered Gaza since early March, the number of documented deaths through starvation of infants continues to climb! Should Palestinian fishermen attempt to fish the waters- their own seashores- Israeli gunships will target and obliterate them. Already the desalination plants have been shelled inoperable- perhaps another Israeli investigation will fall by the wayside? Anyone keeping score? Ben Gavir, Israeli Security Minister, wants to bomb the remaining stores still distributing food within the Gaza Strip, vociferously supported in this aim by several US Republicans. Those who have been paying attention will likely have deduced that it is unlikely that the UK will do much to intervene on the part of humanity.

There are undoubtedly a thousand ways to die before you're properly seen by the bigger corporations or the more reactionary governments of present day neoliberalism!

Paint a picture,
bear with me here! Science Fiction stabs at this sort of thing all the while. Charlie Brooker's 'Black Mirror' does it better than most. We watch the short film or offering, a situation somewhat outside of the current reach of whatever institution, corporation, nation, concept, whatever. But, invariably, the best efforts are those that closest reference something of today's globe and value system, although not actually named, which might invoke heavy litigation. We watch and we instinctively know which corporations, which national systems and processes, perhaps even which specific individuals are being 'paralleled.' Most Sci Fi might best be described as something of 'a jolly good romp!' Perhaps it'll be scary, involve some sort of alien being or alien concept; it may fall well short as an allegorical effort.

Even so a significant minority of Science Fictionesque offerings go somewhat beyond in their ability to speculate upon possible or credible futures. One of my long-time favourites is 'Silent Running' (1972). The globe has not yet seen its former forests bottled up and sent out into space, lest they might come in useful at some later stage, but we have sat back and permitted lobbied MPs and Lords to wave through the increased monetisation of forests and the lands thus encompassed. Sir Keir Starmer's, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, not Labour Government has just done this again. Slight of hand should we not have noticed, tweaks in the heavy favour of developers over nature this time round. Britain! The most nature depleted nation in Western (maybe the entirety of) Europe! And counting! Vote Labour, why not? What was it we hoped for?

Still painting- imagine it's oils if you like, takes longer to dry. If we've been paying attention we'll have observed Israel being handed pretty much a free pass at bombing and invading, in addition to the Occupied Palestinian Territories, also Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iran, ably assisted by good ol' Uncle Sam! When the BBC routinely joined in with the condemnation of Corbyn's visit to Hammam Chott in Tunisia, it should more accurately have been reported that he was there to commemorate the international crime of Israel's killing of 68 people, injuring over 100, in 1985. It wasn't reported as such, in major part, because the BBC had relinquished the integrity of its political journalism, Clive. Israel invaded Tunisian airspace and bombed Hammam Chott, murdering those 68 people. Then the pilots flew home in time for tea and no consequences! No champers, though, as Arafat wasn't there! Still, it's another 68 chalked up to the murderous regime of the Israeli Colony. Easy enough to check! Only Democracy in the Middle East, dontcha know!

So, this picture, if we may! Imagine, your beautiful niece is enjoying a day out! Where shall we imagine her? Maybe Southend-on-Sea, it suits the picture and the narrative. Candyfloss! Chips along the seafront! At some point she opts for the pier, her and her happy party of, shall we say, eight. It's a twenty-first birthday outing, the weather's perfect! Beautiful!

In this picture, however, she fails to make it home! Along with her eight close friends and, let's imagine, sixteen other visitors to the pier. Perfect weather, end of the pier, consider the numbers! Twenty-five fatalities; how many should we 'paint' as injuries? It's only fiction! Turns out, false 'intelligence,' that the Imaelian Occupation Force believed that a particular doctor who once saved the life of a child of a non-compliant administrator might also have been present on the pier. Intelligence from Artoki, let's imagine. Targeted missile strike! Picture's turned a bit Hieronymus Bosch!

Naturally, in order for this 'painted picture' to work, we might have to run Imael, Artoki and the IOF through the legal department. 'Any similarity is purely coincidental,' kinda thing! But viewers would know! It's only a fictitious 'picture!' So what, in this fictitious imagery should we have the Right Honourable Kid Starver PM, former Human Rights Lawyer, do and say? What about his Foreign Secretary, Lord Lamb-Slaughter(er), also former, Human Rights Lawyer? It sure as hell wouldn't ring true if the UK immediately ceased trading with the Apartheid State of Imael.

Bit of imagination and what have you got? Aside from a great deal of lobbying from certain quarters. Project forward, say another half-dozen years- will the fictitious painting appear in any way a tad more prophetic? Imagine!

So, as we casually wander along the aisle labelled, 'British Democracy' reflect upon what's been happening in the manner of 'change' under the government of Sir Keir Starmer, former Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, son of a Toolmaker (apparently), what do we observe?

Democracy! We can always vote in another lot. Replace this lot! As we did with Thangam Debbonaire and Jonathan Ashworth. Doubt PM Starmer would interfere! Doubt we'll see either soon in the House of Lords. What thinks Baroness Debbonaire, upstanding in the interests of democracy? The United Kingdom, the only democracy within the shores of the United Kingdom, dontcha know!

One Thousand Places to Die Before you're Seen!
