"History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster."

"the only way of stopping what’s happening in Gaza happening in the rest of the world is to create an alternative to the United Nations, an alternative to the World Bank, to the IMF, an alternative to all the organizations that the United States has controlled to turn the whole rest of the world into Gaza, if it can."
Is BRICS+ that alternative?

Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 04/13/2024 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
This week there are two solid blues albums one from harmonica player and singer Little Junior Parker and one from Koko Taylor, there's a great zydeco album from Buckwheat Zydeco and in the blues-rock category is an album from the Butterfield Blues Band. For some diversity this week there's a bluegrass album from Jimmy Martin and a great rock and roll album from The Beat Farmers.
Enjoy and have a great weekend!
Saturday Open Thread 4/13/24: Odds and Ends
Submitted by on the cusp on Sat, 04/13/2024 - 6:00amDon't know about your week, but mine was filled with work, and more work. I endured a couple of "exhausted evenings". This weekend is a very welcome respite.
I didn't do any shopping or casual search for prices of staples, other than gas, which did not increase, and milk, which did not increase. Nonetheless, inflation is reported to be steadily on the rise. Tough times ahead, be as prepared for it as possible.
