Two days to 2022 and let’s take stock of the world
Of me and your mama and you
We walked through brooklyn
Yesterday in the grey afternoon
The hint of rain in the air
Was a threat that never came
And we ordered a giant pizza from table 187
Brick oven style
With the thin crust
Your mama wanted sausage and peppers
So that’s what we got
Then we went to the nearby city playground sitting empty
And I took you down the slide for the first time
Unlike our game with you flying through the air
The slide elicited no smiles from you
So we took you to a bench and your mama fed you into a nap
You were tired and clearly would have rather stayed home than been out in that day
But that’s life for you
Taking you places sometimes you’d rather not go
We talked about where we are gonna go and various options
To escape New York
As soon many are escaping the places becoming cesspools of authoritarianism and going someplace where the promise of America still resides
A place where you have rights
And the conversation isn’t actively about giving those rights away
Without pause or concern
Those places still exist but they are getting harder to find
And the property values in those places are soaring just like the places where authoritarianism is the new flag such as New York
Are sinking like a ship shot full of countless holes
I never saw an exodus from New York being a cause for relief and celebration but here we are
I never saw a lot of things coming down the pike
I never saw the boss backing corporate interest championing the cause of destroying human rights along with the foos and rage
And most all of the music industry and entertainment industry
From Billy Bragg on down
Everyone revealed themselves
And we shall see how those revelations age
But I can tell you
As deep as the losses have been
I’m glad I spoke up
I’m glad I was ahead of the tide as it turns
And it’s turning and turning
The truth has a way of being the last monster in the room
And like a flood light of impossible intensity
There is no escaping it’s story
One of my favorite YouTube comedians/ social critics
JP compared what’s happening now to what happened in Nazi Germany
He’s not alone in that comparison
And that comparison always elicits outrage
And a kind of how dare you ism along with it
But regardless of if you agree with him and others or not
You can’t deny that it’s revealed who the authoritarians are that are willing to dismantle the Nuremberg code
And get behind destroying human rights for the supposed “greater good”
That part is revealed
That part is in lights
That parts not going anywhere
And it’s shocking who ended up a champion for authoritarianism
That part is a head scratcher for sure
And people like Billy Bragg and Bruce and The Foos
And Rage Against The Machine
Get brought up over and over again because their public image stood for he exact opposite of all that or so we thought
These were our freedom fighters
They all took a knee to the corporate agenda
Destroying human rights for the “greater good” according to authoritarians
It doesn’t require a Nazi comparison
And for the sake of deflating outrage
I’ll say I’m not making one here
I don’t need too. Others have that I can’t pretend to be outraged about
But all you have to do is lay out what has been done and it’s a matter of public record
Which the truth will shine lights on and make bigger and bigger against what these artists legacies would have been. Could have been.
Bruce will forever be the first Artist on Broadway to require his audience to get an experimental injection which no long term data
Brought to us by Gates Big Pharma and Anthony Fauci
Fauci whose criminality is becoming more and more in focus
A bigger part of the story
His corruption and destructive (to put it mildly) influence is the source of the biggest book in America right now
Written by someone with American royalty raging through their blood. A Kennedy. Robert F Jr.
Everybody knows that the dice is loaded everybody knows that good guys lost
I’m trying to write this from a place beyond emotions
As a thought experiment
Where my opinion and my personal choices in these matters don’t track at all
So throw all those away
Let’s simply look at the facts
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to say anything about Fauci other than what he is
And what he is
Is nothing anyone who cares about reputation or legacy
Is gonna wanna be seen getting behind
That part is already undeniably true
And getting truer by the day
By the minute
And here you have all these legacy artists who have put their weight and their approval
And whatever coercive influence they had behind Fauci and his agenda
My question is this
What happens
To that choice when what is being revealed
And let’s face what was revealed all along
(Half the world knew the real story of azt and his destructive influence in that realm)
How will these artists back track?
What will those PR campaigns look like?
Or will they just disappear into a brand new squashed reality ?
They can’t compare us resisters to racists when the majority of the black population wisely doesn’t trust without thought the historically criminal institution known as big pharma
And they can’t call us trumpers (which in their rhetoric means the same thing)
When trump himself is the biggest shill for the shot out there
We don’t conveniently fit into a cartoon image that’s easy to destroy anymore
Other than those who know human rights and human being sovereignty are the real battle here
The area where the real threat lurks
The area that needs protecting for “greater good”
Amazing the way some of us who have sacrificed our entire lives for this fight are cast as somehow careless
What an absolute joke
Measure us by the losses incurred please will you
I will do quite well in that metric unfortunately
And that’s no sob story
It’s just me saying the truth
Saying it out loud with out shrouding it
Saying it with a bit of glee and dumbly
Just saying
Cause F it
I remember the first time I went to Trinity
And started jumping rope with Ramon
One round he said
After about thirty seconds I was gasping for air
But I had been at the bottom of npd nightmare
And was fully isolated
The stark reality of what my life had been
Had long since come crashing down
And I needed to become a fighter
And so that’s what I did
I jumped into boxing like a kid
One round became two
Two rounds became four
And soon I could jump rope all day long
And hit the bags round after round
The fight for survival revealing itself
Taking root
Those were magical days
One of the losses I register most deeply
Is boxing and going to the gym
These things that get drained from our lives under the weight of authoritarianism unless we are willing to comply
Thank you mamn may I have another
But those who have been willing to comply
To get back their rights to get back their freedoms
To get back their lives as they once were
Are finding out day by day
That you can’t negotiate for your God given rights
And once you are
It’s only a matter of time until you realize you’ve been led into a false narrative
How can it be any other way?
Once you are negotiating for something innate
That means a thief has been in your midst and stolen something from you
Stolen something that you freely gave away
Under the weight of social shame disguised as social pressure
You gave away some of your God given rights to negotiate for other parts of your God given rights
That were yours all along
It was a long con to see how much of those rights you were willing to relinquish
There was no winning for you
There was only how much were you willing to lose before you woke up?
That’s the nature
Of the game you were playing against the institutions you were playing those game against
Rights once relinquished are never surrendered back without a fight
That’s simply the nature of power and corruption
Which is the life blood of institutions such as big pharma and the government
But which of us didn’t know that two years ago?
Billy Bragg didn’t know that two years ago?
The boss didn’t know that?
Rage against the machine is called rage agains t the machine
And they didn’t know that two years ago?
They been called that since the 90s
What machine were they raging against
If not the government?
Freedom the machine of freedom?
The machine of human rights?
How many machines are there to rage against and which machine will you choose?
They made their choice and they displayed it on high
In lockstep with bill Gates and Fauci and the government
Period. End of story.
It’s baffling. Really.
I used to love sparring
Every Saturday or Sunday
Me Ramon and Liz and a few others would meet at Trinity
And so that dance in the ring
Me Ramon hitting each other with love if you can believe it
Because life becomes something you wanna be battle ready for
You never know
Where the battle is coming
For who and why
Is it financial?
Is it health related?
Are you beating isolation and fear
Betrayal from your brother
These things pile up in a life
And not everyone has the resources for these battles
All along our street cars have shattered windows
The robbery’s are increasing ten fold
Or more
The desperation out here is mounting
And a bill to detain anyone deemed a threat indefinitely is on the table
( I don’t suspect any of our most popular artists are planning a protect your rights rally anytime soon. That May elicit shame from a bot on social media God forbid)
It all amounts to time to leave New York
Escape
The new year is pounding on the door
I’m sober and more sober than before
The bell is gonna ring and I’m planning on finding the center and swinging. Keep swinging is my motto. I’m just getting started. Ding.
Ps
I don’t dislike any of those artists
Some of them I love
What I dislike is authoritarianism and anyone who would bow to it for the “greater good”
Authoritarianism always takes root by the sleight of hand called the illusion of the greater good.
And I call those musical artists out not to wage war
Or create division
But rather to question their reasons for leaning into division in service of a corporate agenda disguised as “the greater good”
And what it means now that narrative is unraveling before our eyes
What it means for the artists that aligned themselves in that direction
Essentially I’m not making statements as much as addressing facts and asking questions
Certainly there has been consequences for those of us who decided to speak out against what seemed like corruption and authoritarianism whittling away people’s basic rights.
So if the trend continues
If Fauci and Gates are known by all and not just most to be criminal and murderous
What will the consequences be for the artists that backed their agenda in full?
Do they continue as if nothing happened
And do we as a public pretend we didn’t notice
Do they issue an apology
Which gets accepted by most as they continue on their merry way raging against phantom machines?
Or does it go full Nuremberg and anyone associated with Fauci and Gates
Gets taken down with them
From the media to the artists who backed them?
These are just questions
Don’t blame me for asking them
But I wouldn’t be surprised if you see artists who were full on aping the rhetoric out of the mainstream narrative
Start to back off it and away from it
Like walking away from a firey train wreck
And once the crimes against humanity
Charges are embraced and taken seriously by society as a whole
It will be like an Olympic gymnastics event to behold
The PR campaigns doing backflips to create distance and distraction
The question is
Will people forget?
Alternatively
Suppose the opposite happens
RFKJR. Is found out to be a conman
And Fauci and Gates are in fact angels walking among us
Without any profit motive whatsoever
Only driven out of a selfless desire to help humanity
The government for the first time ever
Is not a power hungry corruptive force
But rather a magnanimous institution
Motivated to restore health into humanity
And empower its people rather than enslave them with endless mandates and social credit scores
Imagine that turns out to be the reality
Kinda seems ridiculous to even write that at this point but let’s stretch
I guess if that turns out to be the truth then those artists would have done a good thing
Those of us who spoke out against those purely benevolent forces will be dregs society I guess forevermore
I can tell you this though
I’m zero percent worried about that being the future.
