Remembering when Jay-Z made 17-year-old Rihanna sit for 12 hours in his Def Jam office and told her, "There are two ways to leave here: either through the door with the deal signed, or through this window - and we're on the 29th floor."

To all you post 9/11 kids - you have to understand that a great many of us used to think this guy was like the Mark Twain of the Global War on Terror critics. This was considered peak political satire. We were pretty fucking stupid, is what I’m trying to say.

In June 2020, Mayor Frey made a very big show of kneeling and crying at George Floyd’s casket. Just a few days later, he was asked a simple yes or no question by protestors about whether or not he supported defunding MPD. He said no, and was promptly told to “get the fuck out”.

Two years before Al-Aqsa Flood, Yahya Sinwar was asked at a press conference if he feared for his safety. In response, he told the Israelis monitoring the live feed that he’d walk to his office in broad daylight in case they wanted to kill him. The Axis of Resistance is fearless.

Reposting this great video of Palestinian martyr Nizar Banat on Iran, because apparently a lot of people need to hear it. This message was directed at his own community but it could just as easily serve as a message to all of us in the imperial core.

Amy Goodman actually had Satrapi on primarily for this segment which serves not just as yet another indictment of Satrapi’s europhilic imperialist pro-sanctions politics but also as a snapshot of a recent much more precarious stage in Iran’s revolutionary project pre-Ramadan War.

US corporate media does so much work to dehumanize Iranian leaders. Soleimani was a prime example of this, where the same glaring, foreboding image of him is the sole depiction shown to western audiences. Reality reveals that men like Khamenei, Soleimani, Ghalibaf and Argahchi - while strong and resolute - are also caring, sensitive, loving people who have no reservations about revealing their full humanity in public. We in the west are the truly dehumanized ones; our governments murder these people in cold blood and full abandon, then we rejoice over their extrajudicial executions and mock their mourners with sadistic glee on social media - and then wonder why they call America "The Great Satan".

The Eagle Mutiny is one of the most fascinating stories of resistance to US Empire you’ve never heard. On March 14, 1970, merchant marines Clyde McKay and Alvin Glatowski smuggled guns onto the SS Columbia Eagle and claimed that they had a remote detonator that could blow up the 3,500 500-pound bombs and 1,225 750-pound bombs in cargo being taken to supply the Vietnam War effort. They made it clear to the world that they were doing this in protest of the war, specifically of the use of napalm, a highly flammable mixture of sticky gelling agents and petrochemicals used throughout the war to kill thousands of civilians via napalm bombs and flamethrowers used to touch entire villages. Napalm was also being transported in large quantities on the SS Columbia Eagle. Al and Clyde’s claim that they had a remote bomb setup in the cargo hold was a lie, but it got everyone but a skeleton crew to abandon ship. Al and Clyde then ordered the ship on a rerouted path to Cambodia where they intended to seek asylum as anti-imperialist revolutionaries. A Coast Guard cutter, a Navy LPD and a destroyer attempted to pursue the mutineers, but Al and Clyde managed to reach Cambodian neutral waters before they could be intercepted. On March 16, they turned over the ship to Prince Norodom Sihanouk, the moderate leader of Cambodia who leaned towards socialist powers in the region, who then granted their request for asylum. Unfortunately for Al and Clyde, history had different plans for them. In a terrible stroke of bad luck, capitalist interests in Cambodia led by pro-U.S. puppets Sirik Matak and Lon Nol staged major anti-government riots in Phnom Penh on the same day the Eagle arrived. By March 18th, a successful rightwing coup was carried out installing Lon Nol as the new Head of State, making the heroic mutineers prisoners of a new US-friendly client regime. The new military dictatorship returned the SS Columbia Eagle along with its deadly munitions returned to the US Military. An embittered Sihanouk publicly accused Glatowski and McKay of being CIA agents who helped plan the coup that ousted him from power. Due to the extremely inconvenient coincidental timing of their arrival and the coup, Al and Clyde were similarly fedjacketed by most of the western left, leaving them politically isolated, far from home and with few supporters. Clyde was eventually able to escape captivity, where he linked up with communist Vietnam deserter Larry Humphrey. Together they joined the Khmer Communists (the KC, which would later become the Khmer Rouge). Sadly, the KC felt like they couldn’t trust these men either, and this eventually led to Clyde and Larry Humphrey being executed somewhere near Sangke Kaong. Clyde McKay’s bones were repatriated to his relatives in the US in 2003, his remains laid to rest in the family plot. The pressures of captivity in harsh conditions and long separation from his family put such a severe toll on Al that he ended up turning himself in at the US Embassy. Back in the states, he pled guilty to charges of mutiny, kidnapping, assault and neglect of duty, serving 8 of a 10 year maximum prison sentence. But Al Glatowski remains proud of what he did, and glad to have contributed in turning the tide against the war from inside the belly of the beast. He continues his anti-imperialist work in both Vietnam Veterans Against The War and Veterans For Peace. Al is living proof that it doesn’t take much to steer the ship of empire on a different course. All you need is a few likeminded compatriots, a plan, and a whole lot of courage.
