It’s also got a great theme track. You gotta love dem Soggy Bottom Boys! https://youtu.be/9d2aBkiwXwg Enjoyed this? Please share
Fool Me Twice by Robert B. Parker (Michael Brandman) Robert B. Parker died in 2010. This novel was released in 2013. It is not Parker’s own work, of course (unless a seance was employed), but that of Michael Brandman, approved by the Parker estate. It’s understandable why Brandman has been chosen. He writes like Parker […]

Parkour is one of the most amazing physical skills to have been publicized in recent times. It involves high levels of fitness, balance, dexterity and courage. It’s almost as difficult as being an honest politician. Enjoy the fun. https://youtu.be/2vfoyY9lshI Enjoyed this? Please share
Palestinian flags fluttered over the rubble of Mohammad al Dababsh home in the South Hebron Hills yesterday as local activists helped the family put up a temporary shelter. Pots and pans lay scattered amongst bricks, metal and dust – the only remnants left of the two-roomed house which was demolished on Monday. ISM joined… via Five […]
Hmm… Rebel Voice is never sure about posts like this. The subject matter is of interest to readers but in essence is bullshit. Actors are over-paid attention-seekers who seldom use the platform they have been given for anything of worth. There are exceptions to this of course. A,B and even C listers get paid more than […]

Kris Kristofferson might well be the coolest person on the planet. Rebel Voice has long been a fan of this folk and country legend, and this song of his from his 2006 album, This Old Road, just goes to show how thoroughly decent and talented he is. Kris will be 83 on 22nd June of […]
Soldiers from western nations rushing to the Middle East to fight Muslims. Death, destruction and suffering on a vast scale, especially for those who live there regardless of whether or not they’re combatants or civilians. New military technologies employed to further imperial ambitions. Greed and supremacist beliefs driving the carnage. This is what took place […]
There always seems to be something almost perversely romantic about prison breaks. It’s admirable that inmates locked up securely and kept under close watch can manage to evade their jailers to reach freedom. When POWs succeed, we cheer for them and Hollywood makes movies about them. When ordinary criminals try, we might still feel a […]
