New at PJMedia VIP. “The personal is political” principle means that all our failures, even our unhappiness, is somebody else’s fault. Everyone would be fulfilled but for the malignance of cruel devils we call Nazis who undermine all we do.

Names on a Map
For those to whom the exotic place names in the Western Philippine Sea are just letters on a map, thanks to the proliferation of RoRo-type ferries, there is now the option of visiting these places simply by boarding a bus at a Manila terminal. This is a convenient and cheap way to get a sense of the Philippine archipelago. Just how easy is shown by the hundreds of YouTube videos being churned out by content providers like the one below.
The Armpits of the World
News that Israel is considering resettling Gazans in South Sudan is a reminder that for citizens of failing states, escape to the first world is becoming less and less an option. “Israel is in discussions with South Sudan about the possibility of resettling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to the war-torn East African country, part of a wider effort by Israel to facilitate mass emigration from the territory left in ruins by its 22-month offensive against Hamas.”
A Lifetime of Escapes
The Man With Nowhere To Go
Bowed by the weight of aid boxes he leans
Upon the truck and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face
And on his back the burden of loot.
Who made him dead to agency and life,
A thing that consumes and that never makes,
Resentful and desperate, a brother to the ox?
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow?
Whose stuffed hate within this brain?
