This might be one for the boys (apologies for any sexism in that remark). Weapons can be really cool. Humans have had a fixation on them for as long as there have been weapons. Self-evident? Probably. From crude clubs that were refined to be made from the most suitable and durable wood, to spears sharpened […]
Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, being able to average speeds of 40mph and above when hunting. That’s close to the rate at which Donald Trump will flee a lawsuit from Stormy Daniels. Ostriches are the largest birds on the planet. They are also fleet of foot, or claw, but just not quick enough to […]
They are the eternal bad guys, at least for most of the planet, and for a very good reason. The CIA have been involved in causing more hardship and war across the planet in the last 70 years than any other single organisation. But the shady Federal corporation acts at the behest of the Establishment/Surplass […]
Here’s one from the ever wacky, Jack Black. His comedic approach belies the fact that he is a very good singer. But would you want him playing at your wedding? If you enjoyed this, please share
The following poem by the Nobel prize-winning Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, is a critique of the capitalist United Fruit Company, which was a US owned corporation that caused irreparable harm to any Latin American country that it set up in. The company was responsible for the term ‘Banana Republic, used to describe those nations effectively […]
We humans think ourselves pretty well informed. We might even be regarded as smug at times. Homo Sapiens may be in for a big shock though. A basic understanding of life on this planet will demonstrate that most species, especially the more dominant, don’t make it. Dinosaurs ruled the land for hundreds of millions of […]
This iconic song should be played regularly in our fractured world. Yet it can be heard only sporadically. Is that because the capitalist-owned radio stations don’t enjoy hearing a death-knell sounded for their corporate, blood-soaked culture? Just a thought, and one of many that Rebel Voice tends to suffer from. If you enjoyed this, please […]
Country or Death! These words (in Spanish) were pronounced by the Argentine, Che Guevara, as he represented the republic of Cuba at the United Nations in 1964.

Here’s a folksy ballad from the Derry nightingale. Rebel Voice doubts that SOAK would appreciate being referred to in that way. She may identify better with a raven, falcon or chicken-hawk. We’ll let SOAK decide which of our feathered friends she most resembles. In the meantime, think baby ostrich or rhea or even kiwi. If […]
Here is Eddie Murphy wearing a funny suit without trying to be ironic. It’s lucky that he’s doing stand-up as otherwise people would feel embarrassed to laugh at the poor fella but would likely do it anyway. How could you not? His comedy can be crude and loud, but he has insight and presents his […]
Colorblind by Robert B Parker and Reed Farrel Coleman This is one more in the highly popular Jesse Stone series which follows the Massachusetts police chief as he struggles with alcoholism and a spate of racially motivate attacks.
