Government and business are historically different. Not today.
Look, if you vote for government to be run like a business, that just means you voted for all these brand names. Businesses love naming things, or having names besides “business.”
Don’t blame yourself unless you’re wealthy beyond imagination. You’ve been had. I don’t blame you.
It’s not my fault. Normally punditry has a tendency to claim responsibility for something they didn’t do. Sharing the blame, instead of wealth. This is not that. I have a bright knowledge of who I blame in my head. And it isn’t me. I’ve been talking about Project 2025 since the training videos dropped.
I have felt this tendency before. I now consider it gaslighting myself. That’s when I claim responsibility for shit I have no control over and have been speaking loudly both locally and online against. Sorry, I’m not taking the blame this time.
It’s about wealth, power, control, all that bullshit.
It’s rich folks. Sorry it’s not more interesting than that. It’s not left or right. Not black or white. Not gay or straight. Male, female. Religious, atheist. See, those are all side-gigs. They’re in your brain so you don’t see who manipulates everyone. At least that’s what I found with me.
When they control the media, news outlets, political structure, even police forces, the truth has a lot to battle. It seems like it loses more than it wins. Giving power to rich folks then AI was not smart. But lots of folks aren’t smart. Doesn’t mean they deserve or even earn doom. They deserve educational opportunities.
…with the propaganda and hoarding.
Even if a popular outlet has intentions of being honest, they won’t report about the billionaires on their chain of command. How honest can they be?
Even if a politician wants to feed the hungry, they must go through billionaires in food corporations, and other billionaires in Congress. How likely is it poor folks get fed?
If you can’t see how money has completely exposed the corruption in society with its current dollar amounts, how high do they have to go? Have you googled for visualizations on how much a billion is? Why does anyone need that much of anything? 20 cats, hoarder. Hundreds of papers stacked everywhere, hoarder. Billions of dollars, successful. Don’t fucking get it.
But anyway,
Back to brand names, add “republican” and “democrat” to the list because as long as they’re buying into a system that pays off billionaires and employs their spending power, there will be no justice. There will only be business.
No matter how much you like them, at the moment they aren’t lobbying for voters. They’re working for coin. That will never work out. Sadly. I wish it would. I grew up a Democrat and voted blue my whole life. But that was different, at least it was more hidden if it wasn’t.
To the people in my life,
What I find disturbing is the folks in my life who see integrity in a political system here. I can’t see it no matter how hard I try now. I see dollar signs in every rabbit hole. I can’t not see it.
I do not claim to be the voice of reason. But I don’t mind reporting on my reality. I realize folks have different versions of that. Folks even have different facts, different priorities, different areas of expertise. I claim my view. I also claim it with the caveat that it is liquid. I don’t think anyone knows everything. We just see it the way we see it. For me, facts change and impact my world view. At the moment, facts point to folks with a lot of money running the government. These folks have said they wish to inflict “trauma.” And they have.
They’re now selling “Republican” and “Democrat” to keep eyes off them.
In trying to find what this means, I don’t like where it’s headed.
I’m fearful because I don’t see how we avoid conflict. They will not suffer justice and they won’t willingly leave or take a pay cut. All that needs to happen for me. Until then, brand names. I don’t know why everyone is beating around the bush on this. I mean, it’s not that scary. What are there, about 50 of them vs the rest of the world? Gonna’ have to put your big boy britches on.
Sucks they own the police now. Sucks they got ICE, drones, and a military. You wouldn’t be off the mark at all saying the elite saw it coming, historically speaking.
return to home.
Boots on the Ground
We have a protest band and our first release is soon, Dec. 4. Keri and I drove down to Houston to make sweet 70’s rock sounds with our friend, The Doc, (bkbirge). It has changed me musically and philosophically. I wound up being the kind of guy who spends more time making noise than computing. No complaining there. The band is called Boots on the Ground and this song is called “Chosen.”
This is a teaser. It is a “Take home mix” from the studio. In the old days, you’d get something to chew on while waiting on your final mix. This is that. I enjoy it immensely. Happy to share it. It sounds like it did when we recorded it. It was simply captured this way. Not a whole lot of mixing to do when you record like that. Big fan. Enjoy.
Real quick about batman.
Batman is just one brand that serves as propaganda for billionaires. Rather than buy a jet and masquerade around at night beating the poor and mentally ill senseless one at a fucking time, he could just write a check and never leave the couch! If Batman was real life, he’d be like Elon with fighting skills. Disgusting. Yet, by making him so cool, billionaires get a pass. Now imagine the impact of all brands tilted that way, including politics. Mind boggling. We’re all stupid. On purpose! haha.
