Much of the torrid news emerging from the Palestinian Crisis centers around the holy city of Jerusalem. It is a place with an ancient and storied pedigree, shared by the three Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is also a place currently in turmoil as Zionism attempts to secure exclusive rights to this […]
Temple, Gods and Sacrifice on Slieve Gullion
Originally posted on Rebel Voice:
It’s colder and wetter now. The climate has cooled. The crops are failing. To appease their fickle deities the tribesmen must make a powerful sacrifice. They stand nervously huddled within the shadowy chamber and restrain their drugged victim as outside the steadily weakening sun falls ominously to mark the end…
George Thorogood – Bad To The Bone [rock]
This is a well known track from the annals of US rock history. It is best enjoyed as sexy women are watching you strut. But take care not to let Sister Assumptia see you or you’ll get the big ruler across your bopping head and that just ain’t cool, it’s bad and sore to the […]

Minoans – First European Civilisation
Europe has many ancient civilizations. From west of the Black Sea all the way to Ireland, the people began to organise themselves into societies with rules and laws.

Top 10 Marvel Anti-heroes
Girls seem to like the bad boy, or so they say. Rebel Voice is unsure if this applies to slobbering, mutants, buy hey, who are we to judge? Marvel have many heroes, but an equal amount, if not more, anti-heroes. Some villains are all bad, but sometimes there are the few who act violently but […]
Woody Guthrie – Grand Coulee Dam [folk]
This is one of Woody’s best known ballads. Is there an equivalent troubadour of the blue collar worker today in the United States? Perhaps Bruce moved in that direction at times, and Dylan certainly tackled some topical issues in his time, but have any presented as solidly working class and highlighted the continuing travesties being […]
Scooby Doo Dubbed – Parody [Adult Language]
Many readers will have enjoyed the shenanigans of the Scooby Gang in their younger years. The wayward group of sleuths looked as if they were always having a great ole time being chased by all manner of weirdo (kinda like Donald Trump’s bedroom). But what if the language was… shall we say… a tad more […]
Extreme Skiing In Alaska’s Magic Kingdom
Extreme skiers dice with death. Although they take precautions, there is always a serious element of danger as they hurtle down icy slopes and hope that they don’t take a spill or start an avalanche.

Accuracy International AX 6.5 Creedmoor Sniper Rifle
Snipers have been in the news a lot lately with the killing of civilians, including children, by the Israeli military. Snipers are a highly effective tool within any nation’s capabilities, but are not designed for shooting innocents as is currently taking place in Gaza. Rebel Voice is unsure what type of rifle the IOF are […]
