The International Court of Justice recently ruled that "Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza is entirely unlawful, that Israel practices apartheid and racial segregation, and that all states are under a duty to help bring this to an end, including by cutting off all economic, trade and investment relations with Israel in the Occupied Palestin

The "liberation" celebrations in South Korea are likely to be somewhat troubled by the "new right" attempt to rewrite history where Japanese colonization and crimes against humanity were a good thing for Korea. The "new right" are really the old legacy elites descended from the collaborator class, that have tried to keep their heads down since the end of the Park Chung-hee dictatorship.

All week I've awoken wondering if nuclear war has broken out yet. Fortunately it hasn't, thanks to Iran's restraint. But it's not just humanity and the biota at risk of extinction, it is many things...the US empire and its U$D, the nations of Ukraine and Israel may not survive, NATO and the EU sit on the brink of extinction as do our civil liberties, especially freedom of speech.

Afternoon folks!
This week we've got blues albums from Junior Parker and B.B. King, Parker's album along with some cool blues has some covers of Beatles tunes that are quite interesting, especially the cover of "Taxman". B.B.'s album is mostly early versions of some of his classic tunes. After that there's some blues rock albums from Robin Trower and John Mayall (with Mick Taylor), Little Feat's first album and an album from J.J. Cale. Finishing off is an unofficial album of Bob Marley and The Wailers recorded live in 1975.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
