THE KNACK PLANET

I would argue the sapiens descriptor we added to homo was just another sign of our arrogance. And I really doubt the history of crimes and injustice we accumulated entitles homos to consider themselves as being any better than the rest of the animals on this planet. Because it is not the gadgets we invent to entertain and feed ourselves or to destroy each other that make us human but the justice we are able to create and apply. The latter was and continues to be nonexistent. When one or two countries can block the demand for peace, called for by the rest of the world, that is not international justice. When a government criminalizes peace and demonizes those who ask for peace, that is not national justice. Common sense people yearn for national pride. The rest of us migrate toward instant comfort zones at any costs. Yo diría que el descriptor de Sapiens que agregamos a Homo era solo otra señal de nuestra arrogancia. Y realmente dudo que la historia de los crímenes y la injusticia acumulamos les da derecho a Homos a considerarse mejor que el resto de los animales en este planeta. Porque no son los dispositivos que inventamos para entretenernos y alimentarnos o destruirnos unos a otros que nos hacen humanos, sino la justicia que podemos crear y aplicar. Este último fue y sigue siendo inexistente. Cuando uno o dos países pueden bloquear la demanda de paz, solicitada por el resto del mundo, eso no es justicia internacional. Cuando un gobierno criminaliza la paz y demoniza a quienes piden paz, eso no es justicia nacional. Las personas de sentido común anhelan el orgullo nacional. El resto de nosotros migramos hacia zonas de confort instantánea a cualquier costo. Je dirais que le descripteur de Sapiens que nous avons ajouté à Homo n'était qu'un autre signe de notre arrogance. Et je doute vraiment de l'histoire des crimes et de l'injustice que nous avons accumulées autorise les Homos à se considérer comme étant meilleurs que les autres animaux de cette planète. Parce que ce ne sont pas les gadgets que nous inventons pour nous divertir et nous nourrir ou nous détruire qui nous rendent humains, mais la justice que nous pouvons créer et appliquer. Ce dernier était et continue d'être inexistant. Lorsqu'un ou deux pays peuvent bloquer la demande de paix, appelée par le reste du monde, ce n'est pas une justice internationale. Lorsqu'un gouvernement criminalise la paix et diabolise ceux qui demandent la paix, ce n'est pas la justice nationale. Les gens de bon sens aspirent à la fierté nationale. Le reste d'entre nous migrate vers des zones de confort instantanées à tout prix.

The Trump Bus Tango Copyright The Knack Planet © 2024 Nancy, she was married but I was rich, So I moved onto her just like a bitch. Couldn't get there, I failed at hopping, Even though I took her furniture shopping. But all the women adore me And are begging at my feet For a touch of my small hand My sexy kiss to land And even for a tweet. All of a sudden, she's got some phony tits And all of a sudden she's got new glitz Before kissing her, tic-tacs are a must Now I'm one step closer to bust her bust. 'Cause all the women adore me And are begging at my feet For a touch of my small hand My sexy kiss to land And even for a tweet. I'm automatically attracted to beautiful, To holding & kissing like a juvenile. I am a star, they are like a magnet. I grab them by the pussy and do them like a rabbit. Refrain I am so elegant, my ties are so long I'm full of passion, have a fungus for a dong. When I see a beauty, pageant or not, I run toward her and (grab)give'er all I've got. Refrain My female voters think of me as if I am essential, A boat-load of distinction, enamouring potential I don't know what that is but, whether if she want it, She surely can keep it cause I don't care to have it. Refrain

Medea's bio is worth reading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medea_B... She's been protesting every illegal and imoral war our county has carried out in our name, for a very, very long time. The value of a person can be determined by how hard wikipedia is trying to find something wrong with her. Just like in Jill Stein's case, wiki lists her "controversies" as being in the room with people our government hates. Just like in Jill Stein's case, she wears this as a badge of honor because she too understands the value of diplomacy and the price of hate. Medea has two daughters. She calls on all mothers who are in the DC area to join her on May 9th and help put a stop to this child-killing madness. https://www.codepink.org/grandmasdc

How low can we get? When will we understand that it is not having power that makes us less barbaric, but how we use it? - TKP We have a long history of destabilizing countries. It is what we did to Heidi in retaliation for becoming the first country to ban slavery. And it is what we are in the process of doing to South Africa in retaliation for accusing Israel of genocide. The process has begun. A month before the upcoming elections in South Africa, the National Public Radio started to badmouth their current government.

It was the students and their universities who were the first to stand up against the Vietnam war. It was the students and their universities who were the first to denounce the aparheid in South Africa while the US government, just like it does in the case of Palestine, did not recognize it for many years. We must honor the moral clarity and bravery of our young population and reward them by giving them some of the congressional jobs currently occupied by relics, stuck in a cold war McCarthy mentality to the detriment of the whole world. The congress interrogations of university leaders is not only another stain on our history but it is also a reminder that fascism is alive and well.

Song: TKP Lyrics: Mihai Eminescu Translation: Corneliu M. Popescu

As time goes by, it is harder and harder to look in the mirror because of all the wrinkles we aquired. But we have to, so we remember who we are.

Not only did we torture "some folks" but we also involved other countries into torturing in our name. Among them, my country of origin. The people I left behind have no idea...Their propaganda machine is worse than ours. They are completely brainwashed and uninformed. You'd think they should be able to search the Internet and learn. But noo... They still believe that the US is the country our grandmothers were calling for help, with their eyes to the sky, during WWII.

Enjoy the 5/8 beat which is not very common to these parts of the world. And start considering a third-party candidate who is truly anti-war and anti partizan duopoly. We have no reason left to justify not voting third party in the upcoming election. More about this in future videos. Thank you for being such a good friend of TKP.🌹

The Byrds issued a reworded version of the song in 1965, with lyrics that lament the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Since then, other artists have adapted the lyrics to talk about different murders, including those of John Lennon and George Floyd.

Disclaimer: There is no promotion for personal benefit in this video. Glosa is a poetic form which has a certain repetitive pattern as you will notice. The magnificent Romanian-to-English translation was done by Corneliu Popescu. The Spanish, French, and German translations follow the English translation, not the original. So, was Eminescu a genius who, like Joules Vernes, predicted the future? Or was he and all of the "aloof and cold" philosophers like him the reason why 1883 feels so similar to 2024? Let me know what you think in the comments. "Have no hope and have no fear". This sentence, especially the first part gave me a headache. It is easy to understand the encouragement to be brave, but to have no hope? What did he mean? Is it because he doesn't trust humans to do anything right? And then I remembered that Barak Obama peddled hope as his campaign motto and, once elected, was only down from there. He bombed and tortured like there was no tomorrow. Do we have to have hope in order to become socially and politically involved? Or should we do it just because there is no other way to save our humanity and existence?

I've been told that I do not mince words. And that is true. I am glad someone noticed. 🙂 The world is in shambles because we've been mincing words for too long. Meanwhile the entitled are determining what words we can use and which we can't and they are also changing the legal meaning of already defined ones, to their advantage.

Happier New Year!

If we do not bring criminals to justice, they are going to be emboldened and the murders will get worse. Please sign my petition here: https://chng.it/PVcDVswGrc and thank you for being such a good supporter of TKP. Even the Pope declared that what Israel is doing is terrorism...The Lutheran Church in Bethlehem canceled Christmas...The State Media is Business as Usual...We need some snow...

Ordinary people do not have a voice, not on the state media, not in the state newspapers and, definetely not in the VIP meetings that affect their future. It is all about the stock market these days and whom should we bomb next. Ordinary people will have a voice on the TKP channel.

U.S. and Istrael veto the UN resolution for cease-fire as Israel ramps up airstrikes ...

I feel as much pain for our Jewish friends as I feel for the Palestinians. Their Zionist government cornered them in an unescapable corner by commiting crime after crime and expecting love and respect in return. I feel pain for the American people as well, as they have no political alternative and their voices are more and more supressed.

A self-describing video and song. Cheers!

In the summer of 2022, I felt encouraged to travel from the USA to Europe by the good news that the air travel was back on track. Travel restrictions were lifted, proof-of-vaccination was not required anymore though masks were still a must. I've been a frequent international flyer for almost 30 years now and I always flew Delta, not knowing much about them other than that I found them reliable and price-competitive. This time around I ended up flying with Air Canada because their price was 1/3rd of Delta's price. A week before my scheduled take-off the e-mails started coming in. First, they changed my flight number, delaying my take-off by only two hours. Then they came back and change my flight from direct to a one-stop to a major hub. Going to Europe was worse than coming back. Every single flight was delayed by at least four hours. I ended up arriving at my destination about twelve hours later than initially planned. Of course, I had to reschedule my accommodations and inconvenience some hosts, I slept on a bench and had more meals than I planned for. Yet, I was happy to have been able to travel to two countries that year, and have visited with people whom I love. When I returned, I filed a complain with Air Canada. They promised to get back to me in no more than 30 days. When 40-some days were I up I contacted them again and a week later I received a response. I am posting their response with my comments in the top-pinned comment, below. During my delays I started writing a song and I almost forgot about it until the airlines started to be in the news again. So I updated the song, adding a few more lines and decided to make a documentary to explain to myself and to others what had happened and why what happened can't be totally blamed on the pandemic or the weather. Trying to keep it as short but yet document issues properly, I still ended up with about 20 min. I hope you find it entertaining as well as informative though and thank you for being a friend of this channel. #guitar #singersongwriter #originalsong

These are facts which can't be denied: 1. This is not a chicken-and-egg question. We know who started the abuse. 2. The majority of people are decent, peace-loving individuals. It is the corrupt and immoral governments who perform crimes in our name and aid terrorism with our tax money. 3. Leading international and even Israeli human-rights organizations have declared that the state of Israel is an apartheid regime and its crimes are of a genocidal nature. 4. Hate breeds hate and doing the same bad thing over and over only makes things worse in the long term. 5. The South African apartheid was finally acknowledged by the USA government only because of grass-roots activism. 6. We love our Jewish friends as much as we love our Palestinian friends, not more, not less. Criticizing criminal governments is not anti-semitism and it is not domestic terrorism. 7. The media is complicit again. The botched wars and war crimes of the last decades did not teach them anything. Most of them are not journalists, but retired state "intelligence" employees and/or plain stenographers. 8. Independent journalists are not allowed in war zones anymore so that the atrocities their favorite side commits can be whitewashed to their liking. And the journalists that do somehow report truths and realities are cruely punished and made examples so all others stay away. Like the Al Jazeera's Wael Dahdouh and Julian Assange. 9. The freedom of speech is protected but the people who engage in it are not. The freedom of speech has become just another supression tool in the supressor's toolbox. Just look around and see how many of us have been fired, demonized, marginalized and censored for speaking out on issues that matter. One of the best examples is that of Katie Halper. 10. While 120 countries voted for a UN ceasefire resolution, the US was among 14 others which voted against. Cease Fire Now!

Based on a couple of public domain works which seemed to be fitting together so well that I could not resist and joined them. One is the instrumental "Trip Up North" by Bryan Teoh, the other is the poem "Songs for the People" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper. And the video clip is an excerpt from a show I filmed while in France, in 2022, at the Saint-Romain-en-Gal-Vienne Museum. I found the out-of-ordinary dance style visually descriptive of the human struggle worth noticing and acknowledging.

Based on the poem "Si drumul..." of Marin Sorescu.
