TheAltWorld New Issue Of JOHNSTONE: They Can’t Arrest Us All
This month’s issue features a painting of Global Sumud Flotilla activist Greg Stoker calmly enjoying a smoke while the IDF was spraying the boats with skunk water in preparation to kidnap them.
My favorite thing about the Gaza flotilla activism we’ve been seeing is that it’s a glaring reminder that ordinary people really can just go up against the machine, and that the more there are the harder it is to stop them. It took Israel more than a day to abduct all the activists on the largest wave of boats because there were so many of them. A significantly greater number would probably have seen some ships land on the Gaza shore.
Everything about our society is geared toward stopping us from noticing this dynamic. Our education systems, our political systems, our media, our online information. Religions that have been around for thousands of years because the powerful endorsed and promulgated them are full of passages extolling the virtues of obedience, poverty, meekness, and rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. From the moment we are born our heads are filled with stories about why it’s good and right to consent to the status quo and why it would be wrong to take back what has been stolen from us by a predatory ruling class.
This is why we’re always inundated with messaging about the importance of civility and politeness any time people realize that they can simply confront corrupt officials in restaurants or at their homes to push for what they want. The managers of the oligarchic empire which rules over us are terrified that we will one day notice that there are a whole lot more of us than there are of them, and that there’s really nothing they could do to stop us if we decided to replace them with a system which benefits ordinary people instead of an elite few.
Sorry this issue is late getting out; we tried to publish one with a painting of Charlie Kirk on the cover under the title “All Mainstream American Pundits Are Evil Scumbags”, but Kindle Direct Publishing blocked it and suspended our account because it was deemed offensive. I like this one better anyway.

There is definately a lot to find out about this subject. I like all the points you made
HAMASHEZBOLLAHHOUTHI
They don’t need to arrest us all. They just arrest a few to make an example and the others cave in scared to go to jail. Not coutning those who cooperate.
Because, even in the biggest dictatorship on earth, there is always a ratio of 1 cop/soldier for 1000 people and mathematically they stand zero chance to succeed in case of massive revolt.
This is why they have TV’s, media, Holywood, smartphones, distractions, porn, fake news, drugs, social media, to make sure people are condtionned enough, distracted and scared enough not to unite against them.
Anyway:
FREE PALESTINE FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA
AND DEATH TO “israel” and to all zionists.

Germany’s largest weapons manufacturer, which is providing Israel with 10,000 rounds of 120mm precision tank ammunition.

The world’s second largest weapons manufacturer and largest producer of guided missiles, RTX supplies the Israeli Air Force with guided air-to-surface missiles for its F-16 fighter jets, as well as cluster bombs and “bunker buster” bombs, although there is no conclusive evidence that Israel has been using them in Gaza since October 2023.
RTX subsidiary Pratt & Whitney manufactures engines for F-15 and F-16 fighter jets.
As part of a joint venture with Israeli state-owned weapons manufacturer Rafael, RTX makes interceptors for Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system, which have been part of the U.S.’s recent weapons shipments to Israel.
On an Oct. 24 call with investors, RTX CEO, Greg Hayes, said, “I think really across the entire Raytheon portfolio, you’re going to see a benefit of this restocking.”
RTX moved is headquarters from Waltham, Massachusetts to Arlington, Virginia in 2022. For more locations, see this map.
