This Week on GR
by C.L. Cook - GRadio.Substack.com
As much as the allied powers - the governments, news conglomerates, and social media companies - have done to throw sand in the eyes and stoppers in the ears of the public, it's becoming more difficult to ignore the Holocaust in Gaza. Despite their best efforts, some semblance of truth is managing to penetrate the electronic wall separating our necessary fictions from the grim realities of what is happening over there in our names; and over here too.
David Rovics has done more to document the crimes of our times not appearing properly in the pages of TIME, and The New York Times than any three ordinary anarchists; and set it to music too! Sadly, David's balladeering genius is not for everyone; especially it seems the near monopolistic music platform, Spotify. That entity has effectively disappeared his recent album, 'Notes from a Holocaust' as though the documenting in twenty songs of the horror that is Gaza and the stories of the people experiencing it had never existed. Causes one pause to wonder, "Just what else has Spotify muted?"

And; Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd Conservation Society co-founder, Captain Paul Watson has inhabited a cage in Greenland since last Summer. The inveterate privateer for the whales, dolphins, and all the Ocean's creatures was arrested there on an international warrant issued by whaling nation, Japan. It seeks Watson's extradition, and the deadline for the Danish court's decision could be as soon as next week.
Charlie Humphrey runs the Paul Watson Foundation podcast, and he and the rest of the crew of "Neptunes Navy" are calling all hands.
