This short documentary looks at the mysterious Phoenicians, an ancient people who connected the world of the Mediterranean through trade. The females from this population group were said to have been the most beautiful in the world. No doubt females from other populations may disagree strongly with this conclusion. However, there is no doubt that […]
As the world laments the passing of the eminent physicist, Stephen Hawking, we can remind ourselves of how he viewed the world and the immediate dangers faced by our species. Hawking was a man of great intelligence and compassion. His words should carry weight. Sadly, those who control our planet are those who are deaf […]
This is a fairly decent song and is well worth the listen. However, caution is advised as the accompanying imagery is tough to watch in places, but then again, this is the reality of life in Palestine under the brutal Israeli regime. – If you care, give it a share –
This is the first in a six part series exploring the ancient Celts of Europe. Although the story of the Celts is still being written, the information discovered so far is of great interest, especially to those of us who are said to be from traditionally Celtic regions. This series was produced by the BBC […]
In this brief clip we meet Susan Finkbeiner, an evolutionary biologist who doubles as a catwalk model. Nice work if you can get it. Rebel Voice wonders what exactly her scientific male colleagues make of her. After all, in The Big Bang Theory (which of course is based on real life), the lads get all hot […]
This clip is from the Hollywood classic in which the slave army all declare that they are Spartacus and make the one and only Spartacus weep like a hormonal widow(er). This was a great movie from 1960, but has been spoiled due to the behaviour of the lead, Kirk Douglas, who is a rabid Zionist […]
In the recent case of poisoning of the Russian double agent, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter, Yulia, in England, the media and the British government have rushed to point the finger of blame at Russia. Although Putin is certainly capable of such an act, there would appear to be little mileage in it for him […]
In this short piece we travel with the Palestinian-Italian Christian, Maha Yakoub, who introduces viewers to aspects of her ancestral homeland. As Maha is part of the recent Palestinian diaspora, she could be said to have a greater entitlement to be in any part of Palestine – including the part named Israel – than the […]
This is a powerful ballad from the mighty Glaswegian balladeer, Dick Gaughan. It laments the use and abuse of the working class by the Establishment who manipulate them into fighting evil, pointless wars so that the rich get richer and the poor die. This haunting song could be sung by working men and women wherever […]
There are many academics, including Einstein, who held the opinion that imagination is the motor that drives invention, although necessity may be the fuel that powers that motor. Therefore, science fiction, which is a sector that relies wholly upon imagination, and as such can be seen to be a driver for invention, is the precursor […]
This clip shows the final three-way (ooo err, sounds rude) gunfight between Blondie, Tuco and Angel-eyes. This is one of the best finales to be found in any movie, ever. It also has the greatest soundtrack of any movie, ever. OK, ladies, maybe it’s a guy thing but still, try to understand our weaknesses. If you […]
This is a light look at the Celts of Europe. The story surrounding these ancient peoples is still being discovered. In Ireland, for example, it is now thought that the Celts made little impact in the DNA of the resident people there. Like English, the Celtic family of languages seemed to spread where the Celts […]
