Artists with multiple albums on our 500

 So you're not happy with our top 500 because you're favorite album didn't place high enough on the list?

Maybe you can find comfort in the fact that the artist had multiple albums on the list?

 

By the way, when ROLLING STONE did their 500 list, coverage insisted that three females made their top ten.  We haven't checked how many our list includes in the top ten or in the list.  We'll do that next week.  (Scrolling through an unpublished piece as lengthy as our 500 list is a nightmare.)  But the RS list had four women in the top ten.  Reporters rightly counted Lauryn Hill and Joni Mitchell for two.  For three?  They counted Stevie Nicks based on RUMOURS being in the top ten but, pay attention, Fleetwood Mac had two female members -- Stevie and Christine.

We'll print our 500 list after we publish it and recheck the below (again, it's a nightmare to scroll through a piece of that length -- to scroll through an unpublished draft). We'll put CSNY on the list when we can print it -- the two Byrd albums are our big question.

Tweet of the week

 Ajamu Baraka Tweeted:

 

This "conversation" on white supremacy is kind of absurd. The idea that is evoked when the words white supremacy are uttered are of Klan-type, militia people - racists. So white supremacists like Biden who protect & serve the material elements of white power is given a pass.

Tweet of the week historical

 Cynthia McKinney Tweeted:

President Jimmy Carter–the US President who finished his term without war, military attack or occupation–pointed out in 2019 that the United States has been at peace for only 16 of its 242 years . . . and described the US as ‘the most warlike nation in the history of the world.’

Must read of the week

 "Save Darfur" was nothing but a war movement.  We called it out repeatedly in real time.  Ann Garrison writes about it in "Who is Rwanda’s Real Hero? Paul Kagame or Paul Rusesabagina?" (BLACK AGENDA REPORT) and it really is a must read.  We'll excerpt this section:

 

I reacted negatively to the movie in part because I didn’t see it until 2008, four years after its release and 14 years after the Rwandan Genocide. The copy I rented at that time opened not on scenes in Rwanda’s capital, but on Don Cheadle, the actor who played Rusesabagina, proselytizing the movie audience. The tragic story we were about to see, he said, was being replayed now, north of Rwanda, in Darfur, where Arab militias commanded by then Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir were committing genocide against the native African peoples of Southern Sudan, who were neither Arab nor Muslim. 

It would be hard to find a more perfect marriage of Hollywood and US foreign policy propaganda talking points. The Save Darfur movement was then in full swing, and China, the US’s competitor in Africa, was under attack for supporting the government of then Sudanese President al-Bashir.

A year earlier, “Not on Our Watch: The Mission to End Genocide in Darfur and Beyond ” had been published with Cheadle and John Prendergast credited as co-authors. Prendergast is a career intelligence professional and humanitarian war propagandist often photographed with Cheadle and other movie stars whom he persuaded to join his campaigns, most notably George Clooney, Ben Affleck, and Mia Farrow. In the 2009 “Darfur Debate ” at Columbia University, Ugandan academic and author Mahmood Mamdani aptly identified him as “a Zionist who wants to recolonize Africa.”

Students Taking Action Now: Darfur (STAND)  was formed at Georgetown University in 2004, the same year that “Hotel Rwanda” was released, and South Sudan was successfully separated from Sudan in 2011. Omar al-Bashir was finally taken down in a 2019 coup, and STAND at some point broadened its identity to become “the student-led movement to end genocide mass atrocities.” It eventually merged with Aegis Trust , the British-based NGO umbrella group that professes the same mission.

The copy of “Hotel Rwanda” that I rented this week no longer begins with Don Cheadle’s stumping for the Save Darfur movement. That’s over, and the speech has been mercifully cut. However, the Rwandan Genocide continues to be a touchstone of arguments for humanitarian intervention, aka the white man’s burden.

Video of the week: Jimmy Dore

 In last week's "Media: The Jane Fonda Horror Show," Ava and C.I. warned you about Jane Fonda's new book and let's note this part, "Despite her claims to want to end climate change, her book is filled with the same people who organized the attack on Michael Moore recently."  With that in mind, check out Jimmy Dore's interview with Max Blumenthal.
