I haven't posted anything here in awhile. What is there to say anymore? The center is falling out. Gaza is in Ruins. Endless slaughter in Congo, Sudan, Ukraine. People are being disappeared in the so- called land of the free.
We have to act somehow in a small or big way, but in coordination. Or, its too late. We will be trampled one by one. Alone. Unless we agree on the common enemies.
Anyway, here is a fight song. Celtic folk always seems to inspire rebellion in me and can join people in purpose.

Our water resources are now in the hands of stupid.

Through this arrangement the customary link between the natural resource and its user was interrupted - abruptly disowning the traditional ecological knowledge of this ancient people. The pastures, not managed and protected anymore by the tribes, started to be over-grazed by free-ranging pastoralists.

A major role in this unfolding disaster was played by affluent urban investors who threw thousands of livestock into the steppe turning the grazing into a large-scale, totally unsustainable, industrial practice.

Social media podcasts are filled with white aging male Middle East political analysts. They focus not surprisingly on the actions of strong male leaders. I was looking for a fresh, broader, perspective and found this.
