Invest in the Kestrel's testicles, you droopy hues. Welcome to the Blind By Podcast. If this is your first episode, consider going back to an earlier episode to familiarize yourself with the lore of this podcast. I've had an incredibly energetic week. I've been on the go. I've been on the go since last week's podcast. Last Thursday, I had the supreme privilege of visiting Skellig Michael for the day. Skellig Michael is a very strange and remote island,

seven miles off the coast of Kerry into the Atlantic. It's a barren rock in one of the most beautiful places in Ireland and I'm privileged to have visited it because it's very difficult to get there. There's only a couple of opportunities to go there a year. The waiting list is very long. It's quite dangerous. This is a rock in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It's dangerous to get there. So most people when they're lucky enough to even book a tour to get to Skellig Michael 50% of the time their trip is cancelled because the weather is too dangerous or there's a swell in the sea will last fucking Thursday at about 6 40 a.m., just after the sun came up,

I was on a boat with a beautiful clear sky and gorgeous morning sunlight, creating tiny rainbows, an ocean spray, the spit of God, blowing raspberries directly into my face, and shiny little grey dolphins swam beside the boat like slick leathery alizations, big lanky conscious seagulls, gannets bothering the meniscus, and the whole time watching the rock, the Skellig Michael rock, watching it transition from a faded smudge to a jagged black tote sticking out of the Atlantic. The journey was 90 minutes but I completely lost track of time because I was overwhelmed

by the beauty and also that sense of surrendering yourself to the sea. When you're in a boat in the middle of the Atlantic fucking ocean, you have to surrender yourself. It's scary. It's frightening. You have to confront your mortality a bit. It's the site.

It's the site of a very strange little monastery that's 1,500 years old. And I reach the foot of this rock, Skellig Michael, on the boat, and it just towers above you. It's like being in New York. It's like being in New York except it's nature's skyscraper. It has that feeling.

You know when you're in New York and you look up at the size of the skyscrapers and you feel tiny? It's that feeling. Except it's a huge rock pointing out at the ocean and it looks down at you and says, you are nothing and it's speckled with bird shit. And seagulls in their little apartments

and fucking puffins man. There's 8,000 puffins. 8,000 puffins on this island. Like little clowns. And getting off the boat is incredibly difficult because the sea, it swells. It swells. So you kind of have to jump for it. You have to jump onto the foot of this fucking rock.

It's not easy. Everything about this landscape says fuck off, you don't belong here. But it was so beautiful. It was the clearest day imaginable. The sea was turquoise, with sunlight glimmering off it. And Schellig-Mickel, the rock was black black with these vibrant khaki explosions of moss, emulsion, paint, bird shit, splatters. And it took another, I'd say 40 minutes, to climb to the very top of Skellig Mikkel. Hundreds of steps, halfway up, bite an arse on me like a ham and a deli slicer. But I keep pushing to get to the top and as I'm climbing to the top of this giant giant rock, all around me

are little puffins coming out of their burrows. And the puffins, the puffins don't give a fuck about you, because this is their island, this is their island and They haven't evolved to live alongside humans So they're not scared of you the puffins just pop out Their funny little faces and take a shit and go back in to their borough. They reminded me of how people People who are having a DMT trip or an Iowaska trip The puffins reminded me of how people describe meeting the elves in the machine, these strange, funny little beings.

And when they fly, they waddle in the air. They looked like what would happen if a rabbit fucked a helium balloon. And I put my hand in some puffin shit and smelt my finger and it smelt like aluminium and blackberries. And I kept climbing up to the top of this rock with a sore arse. And I get there, I get to the peak, and there it is before me. This strange little stone village.

1500 year old beehive huts. Made by early Irish Christian monks. That's what Skellig Michael is. It's a very important ancient early Irish Christian monastic site. These are called beehive huts because they look like beehives They're made out of lots of rocks expertly placed on top of each other to create these beehive structures.

And then when you walk inside, the silence inside one of these beehive huts is unlike any silence I've ever experienced. The acoustic properties of the rocks and the jagged shapes that the rocks make create a meditative silence and you can't help but experience a type of serenity. And when I went into one of these fucking beehive huts on the top of Skellig Mikkel and felt the silence and felt the calm and felt the serenity, then I realized, ah, there's a fucking narrative to that

journey I just took. That journey is life, the pain and the danger and the uncomfortableness of having to climb up that mountain. That's the suffering of existence, that's the suffering that you must go through in life. The beautiful ocean, the puffins, the gannets, the butterflies, the flowers, the moss, that's the wonder of being alive. But then when you get to the top and you go into one of these beehive huts and it's so calm and silent and still, that's heaven. That's what they were trying to do, that's what those monks were trying to do, there's a narrative to that journey. That's heaven. That's what they were trying to do. That's what those monks were trying to do. There's a narrative to that journey. That's the peak.

That's heaven up at the top. But the early Irish Christian monks that lived on Skellig Michael, they lived extreme ascetic lives. Hardship, isolation, deprivation. They ate puffins and prayed all day and built stone huts. And I saw their little grave and they all died of arthritis before the age of 40. And you know, why 1500 years ago were Irish monks isolated in the middle of the sea on this harsh rock, building little stone huts

that looked like beehives. Well, one theory is that they were trying to create a desert in the sea, that they'd been reading the scriptures, they'd been reading about the desert fathers. The desert fathers were early Christian ascetics and hermits that lived by themselves in a life of complete pain and poverty in the deserts of what would now be Sinai in north north of Egypt or Palestine. And the Irish monks were like, we want to be like these cunts. But there wasn't any deserts in Ireland.

But there was plenty of sea. So they created their own desert on this rock in the middle of the sea. And those little stone huts apparently was them trying to imagine what the deserts of Egypt or Palestine would be like based on a description of a description of a description of a description of a description from some Bible that they translated.

And in the 600s when these monks, these Irish monks were living on this island, Skellig Michael, they truly believed that they were at the edge of the world. This is the year 600. The Roman Empire has just collapsed. But even though these, these early Irish monks, even though they're Christian, even though they're Christian, they're not pagan, they still hold on to a lot of their pagan beliefs, a lot of their pre-Christian Irish beliefs that are thousands of years old. And in Irish mythology, Sceilig Mícheál, this rock in the sea, is an evil place.

It's a place where the veil between reality and the other world is very, very thin. And in Irish mythology, there was a great battle called the Battle of Ventry where a fella called Darra Dunn, the king of the world, this really powerful figure from outside of Ireland, this massive king, tries to invade Ireland but Fionn MacCull, the hero, a giant, fights off Darrod Dunn with the help of the two of her dead Danon, who are a weird supernatural race. So they kill Darrod Dunn, the king of the world, but his soul is banished to fucking Skellig Mikkel.

So this rock in the sea, where I'm fucking standing, this rock in the sea in mythology, is the home of this really angry demon who used to be a king. The Irish monks truly believed in 600 that Skellig Mikkel was the edge of the world, the absolute end of the world, anything beyond that was hellish. They feared that Derrodun, this demon who's living on the rock, would escape with all the other demons and bring evil to the known world. So they went and lived on this rock. They went and lived on this rock at the very top and they'd pray in their beehive huts and invoke the power of the archangel Michael. Michael is the patron saint of high places. So these monks in Shcigelig

Michael would be up on their fucking beehive huts surrounded by puffins praying all day. praying all day. Like jailers, making sure that Dara Dunn is kept contained in the rock and that his evil spirits and demons don't infect the world. They had a really, really important job. Like guards at the gate keeping the demons out. And what I adore about that is even though they're Christian, and Christian means quote unquote civilized, even though they're Christian now, they're still using their, you know, the Christian Archangel Michael, they're still using the power of the Archangel

Michael to try and contain something pagan. They're terrified of Dara Dunn. They're trying to contain something pagan. They're terrified of darodun. They're terrified of this myth. That's thousands of years old. Because they believe it. They're not fully Christian. They believe it. And that's why they have to guard the rock. And I love that conflict.

I adored that conflict between the Christian and pagan beliefs, so I had a good ol' squint at the Atlantic Ocean while I was atop Skellig Michael. I almost disturbed a nesting osprey by opening a can of Coke Zero. The osprey was asleep inside one of the huts, because it was nocturnal. So the reason that I was in Skellig Michael is that I'm currently filming a documentary So I was on Skellig Michael as a location So then all weekend

I was over in Wales I was in Wales at the Hay Festival which is a very large literary festival over in Wales. I was being interviewed by the writer Horatio Clare when we spoke about literature and writing. But the gig, the gig almost didn't happen. The gig almost didn't happen because I was going to pull the gig because Hay Festival were being sponsored by an investment fund that

has links to the Israeli defense industry. Understandably, a lot of writers who were performing at Hay Festival, a festival of ideas, were deeply unhappy with this. So lots of writers got together and signed a letter demanding that Hay Festival drop this investment fund as a sponsor. I was one of the writers who signed the letter and also a few performers started dropping out. Nish Kumar, Grace Blakely and Charlotte Church, that was the big one. Charlotte Church was like, fuck this, I'm not even gonna perform at this festival.

So I was ready to pull the gig. And then at the very last minute, Hay Festival announced that it was dropping that particular sponsor. So the protest worked. Hay Festival listened to the writers who said, no, we're not gonna perform at this festival if this is who was sponsoring it. Now, whether they've agreed to permanently drop this sponsor, Bailey Gifford

they're called, whether they've permanently agreed to drop this sponsor, I don't know, but they did drop it this time around. I'll allow you to keep asking me to give hot takes on the situation in Palestine. I don't have any hot takes. You know well what my position is, my long-standing position with the people of Palestine. What's incredibly clear is that Israel is carrying out apartheid on the people of Palestine. Don't take my word for it. out apartheid on the people of Palestine. Don't take my word for it. Amnesty International, February 2022. The Israeli authorities are perpetrating the crime against humanity of apartheid and must be held accountable. Human Rights Watch, 2021. Israeli authorities are committing crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution.

Israel is committing the crime of ethnic cleansing. Ethnic cleansing is when a state deliberately, systematically removes an ethnic group or a religious group from an area by force or intimidation with the goal of making that area ethnically homogenous. The United Nations has accused Israel of that. The special rapporteur of the United Nations, Francesca Albanese, has called what's happening right now as mass ethnic cleansing under the fog fog of war. Israel is deliberately creating a famine, deliberately creating a famine, using starvation, using starvation as a weapon to collectively punish civilians. Human Rights Watch, they pointed out that the ongoing blockade and the systematic destruction of Gaza's agriculture have led to massive food shortages and starvation. And they said that the way that Israel restricts food, water, medical supplies amounts to using starvation as a method of warfare,

so creating famine. The United Nations, United Nations Human Rights Council said more or less the same thing. The UN called out what they, like in January, what they see as clear, deliberate destruction of food supplies, the infrastructure necessary to deliver those supplies, infrastructure for basic survival, water, electricity. The UN said that Israel's creating famine conditions intentionally. That's the United Nations Human Rights Council. Israel is committing war crimes. Amnesty International,

the United Nations Human Rights Council, Human Rights Watch, and the International Criminal Court have all accused Israel of war crimes based on what they've seen as experts in calling out war crimes. And finally Israel is committing genocide. Genocide is an internationally recognized crime where acts are committed with the intent to destroy in whole or part a national ethnic, racial or religious group group and that can mean killing

members of the group causing serious bodily harm or mental harm to members of that group or deliberately inflicting on the group conditions conditions a life that are calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part. That definition is from the Holocaust Museum. So the United Nations Human Rights Council, again the special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, she's accused Israel of committing acts that could constitute genocide. She did this by highlighting statements that Israeli officials made.

Like you remember that politician referred to the people of Gaza as human animals. Dehumanizing the group is often the first step in genocide. The International Court of Justice is bringing about a case of genocide against Israel being led by South Africa, a former apartheid state. And I believe today, Mexico are after backing South Africa in that ICJ case. Amnesty International, Amnesty International has documented actions by Israeli forces that they consider to be war crimes,

crimes against humanity, including genocide lax. And today, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, they issued a statement today saying, We've warned of genocide in Gaza since October 13, 2023. It was clear then and it's clear now. Israel is committing genocide. The US is complicit. They must be stopped

The Lemkin Institute is named after a fellow called Raphael Lemkin He was a lawyer. He was a polish lawyer a jewish lawyer from Poland And he coined the term genocide He's the person who came up with the word Raphael Lemkin, he worked on the legal team at the Nuremberg Trials, the Nuremberg Trials, which were set up to bring to justice the Nazis who committed genocide against Jewish people in the Holocaust. Raphael Lemkin is like one of the architects of international convention.

Like after World War II, Raphael Lemkin said the only way to stop future Hitlers, the only way is through international convention. International convention is international law. A set of rules, norms, standards that are recognized as completely binding. Lines that you don't cross recognized internationally by governments across states. That means the International Criminal Court, the United Nations Human Rights Council, the Geneva Convention, the organizations that are currently directing accusations at Israel based on evidence. So why didn't I just say there, Israel is committing genocide, famine, human rights

abuses, apartheid, why do they have to back everything up there with condemnations from established organizations that uphold international law? Because there's still people on the fence. There's still people who are afraid or think that it's controversial to say those things. It's fucking not. The International Criminal Court, lads. And today, the Guardian, the Guardian released a massive investigation

which showed that for the past nine years, Israeli intelligence has been intimidating, surveilling, hacking, pressuring, smearing, and threatening senior members of the International Criminal Court to stop them holding Israel to account. It's difficult to list out. It's almost impossible to list out all the horrendous, heart-breaking, savage things that we've seen over the past couple of fucking months. Whether it's bombing hospitals, killing aid workers, as soon as you have time to process a war crime, a more disgusting one happens.

Two days ago, Israel dropped gigantic 200 pound bombs on civilians, mostly women and children, who are living in tents, living in tents because they had to flee their homes in Gaza. So tiny, gorgeous little children living in fucking tents in an area where they'd been told to go because it's safe. So Israel dropped a bomb there, killed loads of people, and all of us saw the videos. Absolute hell on earth.

We saw a decapitated toddler, something I never ever in my life thought that I'd see. And how do you think the BBC reported that? The Hamas run health ministry in Gaza says 35 people have been killed and dozens injured in an explosion at a refugee camp near Raffa. They said that people had been killed in an explosion. How did the explosion happen? What do you mean an explosion? An explosion sounds like something accidental, something that just went off. It wasn't an explosion. A bomb was dropped on civilians by Israel. Civilians who were in a safe zone, who were

in tents because they had to flee their homes in Gaza and they were staying in tents as refugees in an area that they'd been told to go to because it's safe. Israel responded, they said there were some Hamas members hiding in the refugee camp using the refugees as human shields and it was a tragic accident, which is an explanation that Israel frequently give.

I would argue that it's not a human shield when the person pulling the trigger does not care. If you were on the internet you saw the videos, whether you looked from or not, because they were everywhere, and we witnessed toddlers being butchered, we saw what happened. And then you have to deal with the confusion of large sections of our media downplaying it and sweeping it under the rug. By saying things like an explosion happened, portraying it as a gas leak. BBC used language there that portrayed that, that bombing of tiny children as an

unfortunate gas leak. Today, Ireland formally recognized Palestine as a state and flew the Palestinian flag outside Lensder House, outside government buildings. That's a wonderful step. I hope more countries follow suit and recognise Palestinian statehood, but that gesture is performative while we still allow US warplanes to fly through Shannon Airport. Shannon Airport, which is an international airport near me, it's out in Shannon, which is close to Limerick. It's about an hour away from me right now. My dad worked in Shannon, which is close to Limerick. It's about an hour away from me right now. My dad worked in Shannon Airport. My dad gave his entire life working in Shannon Airport. But since about

2003, I think, the US military has been stopping off in Shannon Airport. And we don't know what's on the planes. For years people reckoned that the US were doing extraordinary rendition flights through Shannon Airport, which is, it's when the US would like go to France or Algeria or Afghanistan and kidnap people who they believe to be involved with Al Qaeda and take them to Guantanamo Bay. We don't know if those flights were coming through Shannon or not.

Journalists from The Ditch, they reported today that on the 10th of April, a US Air Force C-17 Globemaster landed in Shannon with a US General on board while it was on its way to Tel Aviv in Israel. Now what we do know is that the C-17 plane, the US military plane, is the model of plane that is used as its primary means of transporting ammunition to Israel. So on April 10th, that plane was in fucking Shannon Airport. It was in Ireland with a US general. But Ireland, a neutral country, has a policy of not searching US planes when they use Shannon Airport.

So the Irish government just looks the other way. It's fair to assume that a C-17 US military plane on its way to Tel Aviv stopped off in Shannon and it was loaded with bombs. It'd be strange if it was empty. The bomb that was used to butcher those poor little toddlers might have been in Shannon Airport. We won't know because of the Irish government's policy of not looking into US planes. So we're both performatively recognizing a Palestinian state, which is good, but at the same time very possibly allowing fucking

bombs to travel through Shannon Airport. So it's blatantly clear that huge sections of the media are underplaying Israeli actions. It's clear because we have social media so we can actually see what is happening. We see the aftermath. We see the bomb happening. We see the aftermath. We see the bombings. We see the dead bodies. So we see the lies and the disinformation. So what's supposed to happen? What's supposed to happen is what happened to Russia in 2022. Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia committed horrible acts. Russia did war crimes.

Russia tied civilians' hands behind their backs and shot them. We saw this, we saw this on video. We were fucking outraged. We were disgusted. There were immediate, immediate sanctions on Russia. Russia's central bank was targeted so that it couldn't access foreign reserves.

Russia was removed from the SWIFT system so it couldn't access foreign reserves. Russia was removed from the swift system so it couldn't make international payments. Russian billionaires had their assets frozen. Loads of international companies pulled out of Russia and refused to do business there. McDonald's, for example. Sanctions were placed on Russia's capacity to export goods. A massive, massive response internationally was rapidly

enacted to punish and economically isolate Russia and to culturally treat Russia as a pariah. Russia was sent back to pre-Berlin wall times within about two months and it was unquestioned and unified from every country within the American sphere of influence. So why isn't that happening with Israel? Why is that not happening with Israel? Well the shortest, simplest answer is that when Russia invaded Ukraine, it threatened to upset the global order, the global north, the power structure led by the US, the West if you want to call it that, of which all of us benefit. Russia was punished

not because it did a bad thing, not because it killed civilians, not because it did evil things. That's not why Russia was punished at all. Russia was punished because its actions threatened the global balance of power. Israel supports that global balance of power. Israel operates as a little America smack bang in the Middle East. To quote the British governor of Jerusalem, Ronald Storrs, in 1919, when the area of Israel was called mandatory Palestine and it was run by the Brits, he said, We want a little loyal Jewish ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism. Well, Israel still works that way now,

except for America. And by that extension, everybody in the American sphere of influence, which includes Ireland, Europe, Australia, the global north. There's a lot of oil in the Middle East. Huge, huge amounts of oil in the Middle East. Huge, huge amounts of oil in the Middle East. There's a lot of natural gas. Fockloads of it has just been discovered. Off the coast of Gaza. I wouldn't be surprised if in two years' time the US and Israel are exploiting and

extracting that massive amount of natural gas off the coast of Gaza to benefit you and me and everyone else in the global north. America utilizes Israel as a gigantic military base so that America can exert power on all the countries in the Middle East. Israel also sits right above the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal is how massive amounts of goods travel by ship between east and west. Without the Suez Canal, ships would have to go around the bottom of Africa. So do you remember when that fucking... Do you remember a ship got stuck in the Suez Canal for like a week a couple of years ago? That situation alone caused massive complications in the economies of the global north. There was a computer chip shortage for fuck's sake because the

Suez Canal got stuck for a week. So that's why there's no sanctions on Israel the way there is on Russia. Because it's not about human rights. It's not about standing up for victims. It's about business and power. And deep down, we all know this. We all know that that's the horrendous, ugly system we live in, that we benefit from. We in the global north have a parasitic relationship with the global south.

We're under the current model of capitalism, our capacity to have unlimited choice, to have too much, to have more than we need, consumerism, that exists, that is sustained and made affordable and made possible because of the exploitation of people in the global south. We exist in what's called K-Fabe. K-Fabe is a phrase that's taken from professional wrestling. It's a state of suspended disbelief that we engage in for our entertainment. When you watch wrestling, you know that it's fake. You know the wrestlers are actors. You know that the outcome is predetermined. But when we all watch wrestling together, as a crowd, even though we know that it's

fake, we collectively pretend that it's real because of how that makes us feel. It makes us feel entertained and safe and happy. We do that also with politics. We like to think that we are the good guys. We like to think that America are the good guys. We like to think that the world is led by the good guys who beat the Nazis in World War II. And now we live in a world led by the good guys who uphold international law and who fight for the underdog and who strive for justice and compassion and peace and democracy. All our films, our entertainment, our books, they tell us these things too. But deep down we know

that this is bullshit because we can see the poverty in countries in the global south. We know that the clothes that we purchase probably contain slave labour at some point in a country we've never heard of that we don't see much of. We know that our iPhones contain conflict minerals from the Congo. We know that the lives of very, very, very poor people in the Global South are not given the same value as our lives in the Global North. But still, we all like to collectively pretend, we like to all collectively pretend, the K-Fabe, that we are actually the good guys. And when, when you see toddlers being burnt alive and then your news media is downplaying it, or when you see the US and the UK

still continuing to give loads of weapons to Israel while this goes on, and when you see the International Criminal Court, the International Criminal Court said they'd like to apply for an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu and then the United States say fuck that this is ridiculous. When that happens, the kayfabe slips. Now someone's shouting, the wrestling match isn't real. That guy's not really a baddie and that guy's not really a goodie. They're actors. This is fake. This is all fake. That's what's happening there. In fact, the chief prosecutor of the ICC, his name escapes me.

But he gave an interview during the week and he said that a senior US official came to him and said, the International Criminal Court is for prosecuting African leaders, not Western leaders. They really said the quiet part out loud. We're living through a period right now where everybody is saying the quiet part out loud. And unfortunately the quiet part out loud from loads and loads of international governments is the lives of Palestinian people don't matter. What matters is maintaining the status quo of global power and a strong Israel in the Middle East is essential for that. That's what they're all saying. And it's despicable.

And I'm not speaking like this to suggest that everything is pointless. I think this way because I want to have clarity. I don't want to live in kayfabe. I don't want to pretend that the world is run by good guys who uphold international justice. I don't want that simplistic superhero Hollywood narrative because then when the world doesn't align with that narrative I feel confused and helpless. I want to have criticality, I want to have clarity, so I can understand what my values are and what I support and what I don't support. So those are my opinions on what's happening right now, because people keep asking me,

people keep asking me. Let's have a little ocarina pause. I've got my ceramic otter ocarina this week. I'm gonna fillet his tail. You'll hear an advert for something.
