Raping the legacy mind

Are you a Legacy Person?

Legacy

“Legacy” has several meanings. Basically, it's something you inherit-- like old stuff in your granny's basement—out of date—but you keep it anyway. It’s like the "Legacy Media" – which, despite its lack of meaning or usefulness, you read or look at just because it's been around a long time. Somebody else owned it once.

Of course, that makes you a "Legacy Person". Somebody owned you before. Who owns you now?

It also makes countries like the US or Canada or the UK "Legacy Countries" They have had many owners.

You get the idea. Legacy things are hand-me-downs. Always secondhand. Or third hand.

Legacy media, people and countries do not live in the here and now-- they live out of bins of the past and their imaginations.

They want stories. The more vivid, the better. The more awful, the better. They look at their TV—not out the window. And certainly not in the mirror.

Fortunately, there are always those who are ready to tell them tales.

A guy named Gadhafi

You may recall a country called Libya run by a guy named Gadhafi who lived in a tent and died raped by a bayonet—as Hillary Clinton cheered and cackled.

The destruction of Libya was fueled by allegations that Gadhafi’s men were given Viagra to help them sexually abuse large numbers of women, girls, babies, goats, whatever.

Now we have stories of Hamas, taking time under heavy fire from the IDF and militias. to gang rape, torture, mutilate, and finally— after some time—kill Israeli women.

Naturally, the Western media enthusiastically reported these stories as if they were true-- without doing any investigation, critical thinking, or exercising a smidgeon of common sense.

War porn always sells.

Legacy propaganda

Fake news for fake human beings like Hillary who will tell you that these stories-- which is all they are – stories—somehow justify Zionist genocide.

Vladimir Putin, who is a real and principled person—has rightfully called the US and its allies the “Empire of Lies” and Israel, as part of that empire, dutifully feeds the public shit and calls it hamburger.

Israel fears it might lose US support for its ongoing genocide of Gaza--as the public worldwide look on in horror of photographs of dead children and stories of Israeli atrocities.  Without US support, the Israeli war effort would collapse.  

So, Israel has revived a strategy around since time immemorial--making up tales of enemy atrocities.  The British and French did that in World War I with stories of babies on German bayonets-- and of course rape.  It worked. They got thousands and thousands of young men to sign up to fight the “Hun” and die useless deaths in the trenches, defending democracies that weren’t.

But that was before the alternative media--which is already poking holes in Zionist propaganda, so the legacy media have to work harder to drown the facts as they are born.

Is truth telling self-hatred?

As ever, those facts come from Jews. Especially, the self-hating Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate of Grayzone.

For people who have a hard time processing words when I say them, here's the Times of Israel reporting on November 9th -- that's one month after Oct. 7th -- that "physical evidence of sexual assault was not collected from corpses." Moreover, "morgue officials have not designated individual cases as rape because of a lack of court-compliant physical proof." Which leaves us to rely on the claims of Israeli government-furnished "witnesses" -- the same Israeli government that lied about beheaded babies; a baby killed in oven; a Hamas HQ in Al-Shifa; and other lies used to manufacture support for its genocide campaign in Gaza.

OK. No physical evidence.  How about that video? It was lifted from a Japanese website showing dead Kurdish women circa 2022.   

Eyewitness reports?  LOL.  Like with the beheaded babies.

The lack of real evidence to back up these articles is almost too ridiculous for words—yet major media including the BBC and the New York Times report in a way that gives lies credence and allows people like Biden and Hillary Clinton to make pronouncements. to argue that the Israelis are somehow justified in genocide. 

Some of the articles are long and have a lot of detail and testimonial evidence.

But where do the reports come from? Official sources. By now, you should've gotten used to that phrase.

Somewhere in the article, hidden away, usually towards the end, you will find something like “we weren't able to confirm the reports.” No—just like the Libyan Viagra rape stories or the accounts of Iraqi soldiers dumping babies on the ground out of their incubators.

Shame

Shame on the media.  Shame on the US and Israel.  Shame on anyone who believes such nonsense.  When people are dying there is no excuse.

In the meantime, the Israelis are refusing to let recently released hostages talk to the media since…

a.)  their captors treated them well

b.) the Israelis tried to kill them before release – and actually succeeded with a few.

Zionism is Nazism—it’s that simple. 

If you support Israel, you betray all those who died in the Holocaust: it would be the same as supporting Germany in World War II – which would mean supporting the Reich. You cannot support a state without supporting the ideology on which it is based —and Israel cannot be separated from the belief system that it thinks gives it license to commit genocide.

Needless to say, if you are an American or Canadian or Brit or whatever and vote for politicians who support Israel, you are complicit with their crimes—just like the guy who drives a car for a gang of murderers.

“I had no choice”, he says,

“Were you forced to drive”, ask the police. “Well, no…”

There is always a choice.

And do not talk to me of greater and lesser evils —not in the face of abomination.

“I am pained by the parallels I observe between my experiences in Germany prior to 1939 and those suffered by Palestinians today. I cannot help but hear echoes of the Nazi mythos of ‘blood and soil’ in the rhetoric of settler fundamentalism which claims a sacred right to all the lands of biblical Judea and Samaria. The various forms of collective punishment visited upon the Palestinian people – coerced ghettoization behind a ‘security wall’; the bulldozing of homes and destruction of fields; the bombing of schools, mosques, and government buildings; an economic blockade that deprives people of the water, food, medicine, education and the basic necessities for dignified survival – force me to recall the deprivations and humiliations that I experienced in my youth. This century-long process of oppression means unimaginable suffering for Palestinians.”

Should you support Hamas?

Theirs is a moral position. The US’s and Israel's is not.

They have no legacy to hand down to the future.

Notes from the zoo

It's been a while since I've written about my time at the zoo.

Among the various animals we had were llamas, which are big, friendly, gentle. Nice animals. But they have one problem. They spit. It's viscous, green and awful smelling and you need a shower afterwards. Range? About 15 feet. They are also very accurate.

Llamas are herd animals and they normally spit at other llamas to enforce the pecking order. Pecking? Maybe spitting order.

When they spit at humans it’s because they regard them as being part of the herd. Or they being forced to do something they don't want to do.

In other words, you gotta treat them right.

We had several llamas. My favorite was named George.

One of the l's in llama is for love. If you like this article or this note— or llamas—please buy me a coffee here—or click on the picture.
