Alberto from Costa Rica advises young men facing the draft in 2026 at my Free Palestine vigil on the Venice Beach boardwalk
The 2026 National Defense Authorization Act made U.S. military draft registration for all male residents aged 18 to 26 mandatory. The House will soon be voting on Section 219 of the NDAA, which will dramatically expand the cooperation between the US an Israeli militaries. One of the young men had already been forced to register for the draft so as to quality for a jobs program. The others seemed to be unaware of this requirement, and one said he wanted to join the Rangers. Aberto warned them about the dangers these new laws posed for their futureāit was a wake up call
Clay's Los Angeles Protest Page
I created this page so that people will have a place to look for socially progressive protests in the Greater Los Angeles area.
On Saturday, June 7, 2026, a woman from Australia visited my Free Palestine vigil on the Venice Beach boardwalk. We talked about the movement in Australia and how it compares to the United States. She had also just met Mad on the beach, and was very excited about that. Mad is generally regarded as the father of roller skate dancing on Venice Beach. He's apparently a legend in Australia as well. If you don't know about Mad, you might want to check out the documentary Roller Dreams, which is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YVTaqgEJCu0?si=tI-YjVBnWcOZhDTt

This is a short clip from last Saturday. I was trying to have a conversation with Jerry, of Veterans for Peace, when we were double teamed by Jews for Jesus, and a couple of Zionists.

On the Saturday afternoon of May 16, 2026 this rapper came by my Free Palestine vigil on the Venice Beach boardwalk and share some of his raps on Palestine, Gaza, Israel and Iraq, while various people on the promenade showed their support for a free Palestine.
Here are most of the words of the first rap, as best I could transcribe them:
Feel me. Feel me. Yo.
Tellin' TV lies, tellin' me lies.
But let me see this Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv of Philistine.
Protesters that are never seem scream from the river to the sea.
The Zionist method, they make the evil energy, feel like a part in an adventure.
Because you're a synergy, but you ain't feelin' me.
You don't prove a single thing. Your IDF unless its Philistine.
If you trace the cries, you fuse hate with lies, like a correlate.
Confused day with night like two brains combined.
Sort of strange to find the two faces of 48,
Your two states of mind.
Choose a money other than the US dollar is the reason
Saddam Hussein had died.
It seems like I need a new base that's mine.
The Jewish trace has too much juice in the region.
But the motherf**kin' shoelace half-tied.
The news stations news anchors see bottom soil.
They only see the US Navy's backside.
And even then it's said that the American nation is weak.
My word, that's amazing.
Fact fine.
Generators in trauma centers because of your generation of trauma.
How privileged does that sound?
You stress crazy from past lives?
You stepped on Ukraine.
Caused a break in the base line.
Things are, the land cried over what you refuse, the s**t that you do.
Even the terrorist find it's getting winter in truth
You got America caught in the noose.
..
Live in my house, call it a home
Pick olives from the grove them a knock on the door
Feel the sickness of your description of knowledge own
Pointing to the homage poet, this is taking a toll
You're the kind of person who's forsaken a soul
You're the great race,....thou shall not lie
Put you hand on the menorah's 8th page on the menorah's 8th day
God you say you only shower praise
Little girls with broken legs, a disease you can not shake.
Arrogance is driving you, you show us no breaks.
Help us all cope, help us go from this place, cause you're in control
This is not a stage. Nobody's acting, and we are not praying.
"Crash sound"
From another:
"That's why Israeli journalists can't talk in the news, a cold wind blows suppressing all of their views."
Chorus from another rap:
"Tear down the wall, tear down the wall, open up your mind and tear down the wall."
A few lines from another:
"I'm convinced their fully genocided and we don't know it. Don't take it from a Middle Easterner, just ask for Joe Rogan."
Also this, from another one:
"Suppressing all news, cause they got Netan-X, Netan-IG, Netan-Apple, Netan-Meta, Netan-Google, Netanyahu."
He also used excerpts from Malcolm X and M.L. King Jr. in these raps.
