The Icarian Blog Returns – Corona Virus Edition

The Icarian

The Icarian blog is back. Again.

This Icarian iteration combines video, audio, writing, photography and illustrations in a retro early 2000s-style blog website format.

The Icarian is the web home of RDScally and The Obstweedles and their musical stuff. The Icarian is also the cyber home of the short film “Time Crime Adjudicator: The Case of The Missing Infinity Cube”, which is currently in production with a projected release date in late 2021. The video series “Ireland Inside & Out” also makes its web home here. Please check out the videos on YouTube and give them each a thumbs up.

Stay tuned for super-interesting (if we do say so ourselves, and we do) posts about The Obsteedles’ upcoming interpretation of Voltaire’s Candide – Gardening With Candide or The Optimist Grows It Alone.

This version of The Icarian blog is a word-of-mouth thing. The site itself will not be on Facebook or Twitter.
Email forwarding of posts is cool and encouraged. If YOU want to post a link tone of The Icarian’s posts on social media, that’s great and encouraged.
No social media links. No cookies. No ads. The Icarian does use YouTube, Spotify, Bandcamp.com and email.
Since The Icarian is self-funded and there is no free lunch when publishing on the Internet, a Patreon account may soon appear here in an attempt to help “monetize” this nonsense.

Thank you.

ISRAELIS SAY GOD GAVE THEM THE LAND.IF TRUE - LET THEM FOR MONEY AND WEAPONS
ASK GOD INSTEAD OF THE USA.NO MORE MONEY OR WEAPONS

While Robert Mueller was risking his life in combat, Trump was following in his father's footstep in New York perfecting the art of keeping Black families out of his father's apartment buildings.

Israel as it was-is finished.
It will be remembered as the most hated nation of this generation.
Not because of religion- but because of what it chose to do.
You cannot starve an entire people and expect the world to stay silent. You cannot commit genocide in full view of humanity and escape the judgment of history.
Israel has become the embodiment of its own greatest fear. It has become the Germany of 1940.
Not because it is Jewish, but because it abandoned its humanity.

AIR TRAVEL IN AMERICA
Wait in line for 3 hours to be patted down and maybe be kidnapped by ICE. If you aren't kidnapped, maybe your plane will crash into a fire truck on the tarmac responding to a call about a fire on a different plane.

Thanks to Wired for reporting what has been known by privacy advocates both in and out of Congress for weeks. Democrat Jim Himes is quietly whipping votes to help Donald Trump and Kash Patel spy on Americans using ChatGPT. Absolutely shameful.

Humans were given a planet overflowing with trees, fruit, water, medicine, and sunshine and then invented debt, capitalism, and war.And we wonder why space aliens keep a low profile.

‘Someone knows something’ but it sure ain’t Crash Patel’s FBI or the cops in Arizona.
There’s all kind of surveillance of Americans going on but they can’t find a guy who abducted, and most certainly murdered, a grandma.
So you have a high profile victim having beg for clues that law enforcement should have already tracked down.
In an age of law enforcement impenitence, this is shining example.
