Caitlin Johnstone

Thanks for listening.

This was a reading from a piece written by me, Tim Foley, and by my wife, Caitlin Johnston.

All right.

You know, th- this morning I shared a, a headline from Caitlin Johnstone.

She's an anti-war voice out of Australia that I really like.

Her headline was No One Gives an F About October 7th, and that is hard for most of us to avoid feeling because we know that it's useful to warmongers.

The defense is real and loud.

The account called The DJ King argued anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, and pointed out the Greens recently elected, in his words, "A proud Jewish man as our leader." Caitlin Johnstone said the motion rests on objective reality.

This is not a pile-on.

It's the British left arguing with itself in public at full volume.

You'll find that at asbestos.com or at movingtrainmedia.com with everything else.

Also at Moving Train Media, you will find this from Caitlin Johnstone.

If you've got any urge to write articles or make videos or a podcast, just do it.

You're infinitely more qualified to be the media than people who are paid by billionaires to lie, and they're not asking anyone for permission to speak.

Hey, this is Jack Shalom.

It's been a while since we presented the work of Caitlin Johnstone, so I'm happy to be reading today a radio adaptation of some of her recent work.

To my mind, Caitlin's once-daily and oftentimes twice-daily no-BS political and social commentary is a testament to her wit, intelligence, work ethic, perseverance, and commitment to the end of empire.

I'll be reading four of her recent posts, so let's begin.

They're pulling that thread, and they keep on pulling it.

We're seeing it more and more every year, and that gives me hope that, I don't know where this is headed or whether we win in the end, but I'm seeing enough movement in human consciousness at mass scale to continue holding out hope for a better world.

And you've been listening to a selection of the work of Caitlin Johnstone, adapted for radio by yours truly.

This is Jack Shalom for Arts Express with host Prairie Miller.

You want to kill them because they're a different religion or you want to kill them because of their politics or because of their parents' politics? You want to visit the sins of the father on the children? And you don't even know if the father is opposed as part of Hamas or something.

So presumably, as a matter of fact, Caitlin Johnstone put out a picture of Gaza.

Absolutely devastating.

I mean, go back and take a look.

All of that is gone.

Now what it looks like is what's on the left.

And just before, hang on a second, Travis, I want to say, Caitlin Johnstone said we're supposed to believe that that in each and every one of these homes that have been reduced to rubble that there was some kind of a hamas hideout

right

Like, people's parents are starting to realize that they don't get to have relationships if they're not, like, pleasant."

Oh, Caitlin Johnstone?

Yeah.

That stupid bitch.

Again, I said this earlier, but I wish I had this confidence.

Caitlin Johnstone, "Israel repeatedly bombed the children's polio vaccine sites."

Nice.

Abby Martin, "Israel bombed the entrance of Al Fakhoora school, a designated safe zone for children to get the polio vaccine.
