The new edition of JOHNSTONE is now available to order in print or download as a pay-what-you-want e-book version.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.You can get a paperback copy of this issue by clicking here, or a pay-what-you-feel digital copy by clicking here.Other paperback editions of JOHNSTONE can be purchased by clicking here.
