Great moments in Hip-Hop : "Israel Disses UN"

12 August 2006

A great moment in Hip-Hop history today on the front page of news.google.com:

Israel Disses UN, Bombs Lebanon

A'ight peeps, we have arrived.

You know at the very beginning when the soldiers were kidnapped and Israel started bombing I thought "I have a really bad feeling about this one..." I don't like where this is going.

Somehow Condi knew to announce that it was the birth pangs of the new middle east. Bush has been encouraging Israel to attack Syria while they are at it. And now Hizbollah says it will be Israel's last war. Bernard Lewis, the old nemesis of Edward Said says that Iran might nuke Israel on August 22nd. But the man is 90, so of course he is hoping the Apocalypse starts soon so he doesn't miss it. These scholars always get a bit nutty when they get old.

To be honest, I don't give a fuck about the middle east. More people are dying every day in Iraq. Africa needs severe attention. I don't care about any of the three religions involved or this little scrap of real estate. By historical rights it should be Palestine. If people were smarter then they could coexist. Old story. It doesn't matter what I say, someone with passions inflamed will step forward to argue with me.

You can't argue with me, I don't care. There are worse injustices and bigger dangers on earth.

But something about that area gets these men all riled up with that epic sense of history.

    Actually, by historical rights, it should be Israel. There is a reason you don't care what is going on over there. That reason is because you are uneducated.

      In case you all hadn't noticed, the world is falling apart. I posted here back on September 11th, 2007 that the finance world was going to fall apart. http://crucial-systems.com/For_those_of_you_that_dont_pay_attention_to_the_world_of_finance The reason I fled New York was that I could see quite clearly that the wheels were going to come off that wagon and the US may very well collapse into chaos. Alarmist, yes. That's what alarms are for. The solid truth is that the financial markets always precede the real ...

    • Artist Dr. Steven Kurtz cleared of all charges

      This was the most bat shit crazy episode in the whole Bush Gestapo Era. Charges are finally dropped, but as Kurtz states, there is no re-compensation for him. The case originated in May 2004, when Kurtz's wife Hope died of heart failure as the couple was preparing a project about genetically modified agriculture for the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Police who responded to Steve Kurtz's 911 call deemed the Kurtzes' art materials suspicious and alerted the FBI. Kurtz explained ...

    • quagmire

      Dick in 2004. Right. So what were they thinking the second time round ? Its time to get the whole middle east powder keg going. Its time to destroy the US itself USSR-Afghanistan style, thus opening it up for corporate takeover. Its time for Armageddon. They are in contact with space aliens, and its the aliens that told them they had to do it. The so-called Left should give up trying to reason with these people and saying America got ...

    • respect to the deserters

      At an Army base in Alaska last year, "there was one guy who literally chopped off his trigger finger with an axe to prevent his deployment," Dr. Thomas Grieger, a senior navy psychiatrist said in an interview. New york times, mon april 9th, 2007 Respect. More respect then I give to the Buddhist monk in Thailand who cut off his penis because it wouldn't sit still during meditation. Interesting: The desertion rate during the Vietnam war was 5% (NYT)

    • Video Art by satellites and turtles : its the new Auteur Theory

      POV video from STS-124.  No film director or composer could make anything this epic. Even Stanley Kubrick would tone it down or try to resolve it to edits and angles. The adrenaline builds, and at 2 minutes your mind beings to blow. The ending is truly beautiful, don't miss it. A camera gets lost in Aruba on November 11, 2009. A turtle finds it on January 15, 2010, films this refreshing shoegazer video and becomes a YouTube celebrity. The camera ...

    • Murungu in Baghdad

      I must admit that while I walked across the bridge to Zimbabwe Bob Marley started playing in my head. Sunny, windy, I'm smiling to myself. But they wouldn't let me in because the visa sticker is too big for the remaining space in my passport. I walked back to Zambia; they wouldn't let me in unless Zim stamped a denial. Back to Zim. Self-important immigration guy is on break, lady wants to gossip with friends and not listen to confusing ...

Solar Life Raft Ingredients

Timeblind
Format: Digital
Release date: 4th January 2010
Available at
  • coltan and cassiterite Timeblind

The unmixed ingredients from Rupture and Shadetek’s Solar Life Raft. Including two tracks by me: Coltan and Cassiterite and Space Cadet (which came out on last year’s 12” on Version)

I’ve been waiting/yearning for Coltan and Cassiterite to come out for much of last year. I was about to release it myself just to relieve my own tension waiting for it. Anyway, its on a good home: The Agriculture and the reviews have been great so far.

The title refers to two of the minerals that are mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo and are components in portable electronics like cel phones. Its one of the unfortunate driving forces behind continuing warfare among the militias in the Rwanda/DRC border area.
