"I wonder what’s in those confidential files the British government keeps from us? I’m sure its nothing. Probably for our own good. They know what’s best for us. I hear the British are going to make an official history of The Troubles to set the record straight."

I think you can a sense of the current lack of availability of Connolly's writings when just two years of his complete journalism comes to over 300 pages and 145,000 words (with notes).

I drew a picture based on a dream I had one night of a gigantic statue of the death of Cú Chulainn much like the African Renaissance Monument in Senegal.

Rebellion rewatch: one big problem from the start is them making up all the main characters. hard to care about these bozos when Connolly or Pearse are right around the corner

Season 2 of Blowback is a history of the Cuban Revolution and the US' attempts to sabotage it. Episode 4 describes Castro appearing at the UN, visiting Harlem. It brings a lot of different sources together, this paragraph doesn't do it justice, but it is so moving. Blowback only good podcast
On September 24,the atmosphere in Fidel's room at the Hotel Theresa was electric, a small room buzzing
with the energy of a young revolution. It was cramped with Cuban guerrillas, youth who had descended from
the Sierra Maestra mountains less than two years earlier. At 34, Fidel himself was a whirlwind of motion; his
famous beard and olive-green fatigues radiated a restless energy. The room, cluttered with drafts of his
upcoming UN speech and scattered news cables, served as a makeshift headquarters. Across from him sat
Malcolm X,35, who, in a sharp suit and with an equally commanding presence, embodied the increasingly
militant Black liberation movement within the United States. The encounter was a profound, if brief,
exchange between two men who recognized the mirror of their struggles in one another, a shared fight for
what Fidel would later call,two days later, in his historic four-hour-long UN speech,"the full human
dignity" of all oppressed people. Only a few Black journalists were permitted inside, where Fidel, speaking
in English, expressed his admiration for the resilience of African Americans."I admire this," he said."Your
people live here and are faced with this propaganda all the time, and yet, they understand. This is very
interesting."Malcolm X's reply was succinct and powerful:"There are twenty million of us, and we always
understand." As he left the hotel, facing a throng of hostile journalists asking about his sympathies for the
Cubans, Malcolm X defiantly replied "Please don't tell us who should be our friends, and who should be our
enemies".

The Brits pioneered militarised policing in the ever-useful colonial laboratory that was/is Ireland Americans learned lessons from those experiments And it's not like policing doesn't look like that here anymore

They rally around Dennis Hutchings because he acted out the true disturbing desires that lies at the very heart of British society, shooting poor disabled people in the back.

Nope to me is an all timer. Jordan Peele had me thinking about that film long after I watched it. And the horseback chase sequence provoked a sense of wonder I haven’t felt in a long time. Films be good sometimes.
