One doesn't want to believe in crazy conspiracy theories, until it becomes inescapably evident the Zionist billionaires run the country.

I sometimes wonder how many combatants and commanders of US empire are even aware of the meaning of the most common greeting in the Muslim world?

Since I posted this song 2 days ago it's gotten a lot of praise from thousands of Iranians (only on Instagram). If anyone in Iran wants to organize a concert where I can sing it there live, I'll do my best to get there.

TODAY from 10 am to 2 pm at the Beaverton (Oregon) Public Library there will be a Gaza vigil with an emphasis on singing together. I'll also play some less sing-along kinds of songs, too. Come to Beaverton if you can, and bring your voice, along with banners and signs!

MARYLAND: I got the plane tickets! I'll be barnstorming around Maryland's 4th Congressional District with Sam Husseini and his campaign from October 8-15. Here's my song for his campaign with the Chet Gardiner band on my latest album. Come join us! davidrovics.bandcamp.com/track/sam-is...

Since 2001, the United States has attacked at least 11 weddings in four countries. They have killed at least 580 people. Not one single U.S. official has been held to account for these massacres.

The World Court and the rest of the United Nations that the Trump administration has been actively trying to dismantle are the very institutions that were intended to avoid World War 3.

In a most blatant show of support and facilitation for Israel’s program of levelling much of the Middle East, the administration is planning to give them 40,000 more one-ton bombs.

AUSTRALIA! Our gig in Katoomba has a very spiffy poster. We have lots of dates free for more shows. Notably lacking so far is anything in Sydney or Melbourne. House concert, anyone? It doesn't need to be big... Also we'll sing at protests for free.

Ever since the US invaded Russia in 1918, with the brief exception of World War 2, US policy has been to get other people to fight Russia for us, while claiming it's all about support for democracy.

One of the many ingenious ways the corporate press manufactures consent is by using terms like "moderate" to describe genocidal killers and "socialist" to describe the ones opposed to genocide.

It's been ages since I've done an online concert, and I need to practice more before I play in Victoria this weekend. So, Wednesday at noon Pacific/3 pm Eastern I'll be live on X, Facebook and YouTube.

North America: I have a few trips planned over the next several weeks, for various reasons. September 19 and 20 I'm in Victoria, BC, driving there from Portland. First weekend in October I'm in Humboldt, also driving from Portland. October 20-26 I'm in Alabama.

In the western countries the leaders like to pretend there is some kind of distinction to be made between Israeli settlements and the rest of the borderless country. There's not, and they know it. They're not serious about doing anything useful, they're just posturing.

Any time the US or Europe are having a conflict with another country in recent decades, we are always reminded of 1938, and the failed peace negotiations between Hitler and Chamberlain.

As the world stops believing the US will ever pay off its mushrooming debt, they are buying treasury bonds less and less. Soon comes the tipping point.

Trump was asked recently how he planned to keep the bond market from collapsing. He said there's always the military option.
