A second and much needed Nov 10, 2023 update from geology professor Shawn Willsey. We will look at how seismic data changed during day, including the earthquake swarm that developed under the town of Grindavik, which was recently placed under a mandatory evacuation order. Possible outcomes of this ongoing situation are also discussed. Stay strong, Grindavik!

19:25 Yanis Varoufakis interview

“The United States fully endorses Israel’s war crimes,” says Greece’s former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis. “Because that’s what it is. When you switch off the water to two and a half million people, by the Geneva Convention that’s a war crime.”

The economist, who shares a European perspective on the war, says that “the West has conspired to ensure a generalized massacre.”

And the real question is “how much Palestinian blood is required to cleanse the hands of Europe?”

As a European, Varoufakis tells us how his continent’s mix of guilt and cowardice are keeping the war fueled. “You have a situation where the European Union simply doesn’t exist anymore as a geopolitical entity, and therefore it simply mimics whatever is coming from Washington DC.”

This wasn’t the case even twenty years ago, but today governments are too afraid to have their own positions. “Even if they secretly oppose what the United States is doing, European presidents and prime ministers are too scared to actually express these disagreements. And that is a major defeat of European democracy.”

So for now, without faith in any government to do what’s right, Yanis Varoufakis encourages the people to take the streets.

“I try to make the point that the protests in favor of Palestinians are also protests of solidarity with our Israeli and Jewish comrades who are suffering immensely under the apartheid regime of Netanyahu.”

Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Fireworks Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in Great Britain, involving bonfires and fireworks displays.

Traditional English rhyme celebrating the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, 1605, and associated with Guy Fawkes Night in the UK.

The Fifth of November (Guy Fawkes Night Poem) Lyrics

• Remember, remember!
• The fifth of November,
• The Gunpowder treason and plot;
• I know of no reason
• Why the Gunpowder treason
• Should ever be forgot!
• Guy Fawkes and his companions
• Did the scheme contrive,
• To blow the King and Parliament
• All up alive.
• Threescore barrels, laid below,
• To prove old England's overthrow.
• But, by God's providence, him they catch,
• With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
• A stick and a stake
• For King James's sake!
• If you won't give me one,
• I'll take two,
• The better for me,
• And the worse for you.
• A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
• A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
• A pint of beer to wash it down,
• And a jolly good fire to burn him.
• Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
• Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
• Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
