Roger Waters Wrongly Says Hamas Oct. 7 Attack May Have Been ‘False Flag’

“We don’t know if we will ever get much of the real story,” the Pink Floyd co-founder told Glenn Greenwald.

Someone needs to tell Roger that anyone who knew anything about him already knew he was a colossal ass a long time ago, so he can just relax and STFU. Further press mentions of him should identify him as "mediocre bass player Roger Waters" or, to really troll him, "former Pink Floyd member."

There seem to be extremely few musicians in great bands of the past that have gone off the political deep end. Eric Clapton also comes to mind. Sad but good there are so few.

In a shocking hate crime at Shawnee Mission East High School, a Black girl and student was viciously attacked by a white male student. The assault left her hospitalized with a broken nose. In a disturbing turn of events, Bre, the victim, now faces suspension from the school. The assailant has also been suspended as well.

The incident unfolded last week when Bre nonviolently confronted a white female student for using racial slurs and calling Black students “slaves.” After their argument, they peacefully parted ways. However, as they were walking away, a male student, previously uninvolved, aggressively shouts for Bre to “Shut the F*ck up!” Numerous student witnesses appear surprised and appalled, and Bre responds by asking what did he say. The male student then charges towards Bre while repeatedly hurling the N word.

Missouri GOP Candidate for Governor Was Only ‘Honorary’ KKK Member

The name of “Pro-White man” Darrell Leon McClanahan III sits atop Missouri's gubernatorial ballot

www.riverfronttimes.com

A man with a history of "honorary" membership in the Klu Klux Klan not only managed to make it on the unofficial ballot to be the Republican nominee for Missouri governor, but may even appear atop the official ballot when GOP voters vote in the primary this August.

If he doesn't have to pay yearly dues, then it doesn't count.

Kind of reminds me of a gardener I once knew who declared that dirt isn't dirt if you call it 'topsoil'. Okay then...

Not surprising. My state was a swing state till the democrats fielded a black guy... We have a strong working class that isn't always super gun ho about unfettered capitalism. We voted to expand Medicaid etc.... but it's very much the racist, socially conservative part of the working class.

There's an interesting situation that's been developing for a couple of years in Canada. In the city of Vancouver, a rather large plot of relatively valuable land on the waterfront was returned to the Squamish First Nation not too long ago, after decades of court battles. The Squamish Nation decided to develop the land, and has planned a large 11-tower high rise residential development. Normally something so dense wouldn't be allowed on that particular spot, but now that the land belongs once again to the Squamish, it is effectively exempt from city zoning laws.

The project however has created a lot of backlash from neighboring residents and some Vancouver city leaders. Opposition to urban developments for various reasons is nothing new of course, but the complaint this time is...special.

Critics have included local planners, politicians and, especially, residents of Kitsilano Point, a rarified beachfront neighbourhood bordering the reserve. And there’s been an extra edge to their critiques that’s gone beyond standard-issue NIMBYism about too-tall buildings and preserving neighbourhood character. There’s also been a persistent sense of disbelief that Indigenous people could be responsible for this futuristic version of urban living. In 2022, Gordon Price, a prominent Vancouver urban planner and a former city councillor, told Gitxsan reporter Angela Sterritt, “When you’re building 30, 40-storey high rises out of concrete, there’s a big gap between that and an Indigenous way of building.”

The subtext is as unmissable as a skyscraper: Indigenous culture and urban life—let alone urban development—don’t mix. That response isn’t confined to Sen̓áḵw, either. On Vancouver’s west side, the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations—through a joint partnership called MST Development Corp.—are planning a 12-tower development called the Heather Lands. In 2022, city councillor Colleen Hardwick said of that project, “How do you reconcile Indigenous ways of being with 18-storey high-rises?” (Hardwick, it goes without saying, is not Indigenous.) MST is also planning an even bigger development, called Iy̓álmexw in the Squamish language and ʔəy̓alməxʷ in Halkomelem. Better known as Jericho Lands, it will include 13,000 new homes on a 90-acre site. At a city council meeting this January, a stream of non-Indigenous residents turned up to oppose it. One woman speculated that the late Tsleil-Waututh Chief Dan George would be outraged at the “monstrous development on sacred land.”

It's kind of a weird but not-really-unpredictable spittake: a bunch of white, non-Indigenous people who think of themselves as cosmopolitan and culturally sensitive and therefore don't realize that their stereotypes are stereotypes. Their expectation is that Indigenous people who are free to build literally anything they want would surely want to build a small traditional, pastoral, and unobtrusive community, not a bunch of imposing modern urban skyscrapers; therefore Indigenous people can't possibly be the ones really behind this project, therefore by opposing the development they are Acktchuwally the ones standing up for Indigenous "ways".

What chafes critics, even those who might consider themselves progressive, is that they expect reconciliation to instead look like a kind of reversal, rewinding the tape of history to some museum-diorama past. Coalitions of neighbours near Iy̓álmexw and Sen̓áḵw have offered their own counter-proposals for developing the sites, featuring smaller, shorter buildings and other changes. At the January hearing for Iy̓álmexw, one resident called on the First Nations to build entirely with selectively logged B.C. timber, in accord with what she claimed were their cultural values. These types of requests reveal that many Canadians believe the purpose of reconciliation is not to uphold Indigenous rights and sovereignty, but to quietly scrub centuries of colonial residue from the landscape, ultimately in service of their own aesthetic preferences and personal interests.

This deeply saddens my soul. It is yet another debasement, diminishment and erasure of an entire group's/culture's independence, rights, self-determination. So typical that apparently only the white man can build high rises reserved for their own people and have license to exclude everyone else. This truly shames my spirit, being in Canada.
