JOHNSTONE March 24: This Is What Our Ruling Class Has Decided Will Be Normal - Paperback
by Timothy P. Foley (Author), Caitlin Johnstone (Author)
A monthly magazine-style publication of essays, articles, poems, art and short stories about the end of illusions.
ON the 25th of February, 2024, a young Airman recorded himself approaching the Israeli embassy in Washington DC and said these words:
"I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it's not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal."
He then set the camera down, walked a small distance and calmly emptied accelerant over his entire body, put on his hat and lit himself on fire, uttering the words "Free Palestine" with increasing urgency as the flames took hold of his body until he physically couldn't make a sound ever again.
His name was Aaron Bushnell and this month's edition of JOHNSTONE is dedicated to his memory.
All works are written by Caitlin Johnstone and Tim Foley. The Caitlin Johnstone project is 100 percent reader-funded.
