Joe Normal “Public Works”
Hyperactive musician JOE NORMAL has finally put most of his singles together on one album. “Small Town Factory”, “Bayway Refinery” and “Living In The Borough” pay homage to his hometown Elizabeth, New Jersey mixing nostalgia and blue collar stories. “Setback” offers us an interesting mix of blues and electronic percussions while “New England Girl” offers us some well-arranged romantic pop. On the other hand, you’ll hear a touch of sadness in “I Ain’t No” and in “Warinanco Pond” as well as a bit of psychedelism in “Is It My Imagination”. The BEATLES influence is quite obvious when listening to these songs especially in “Ya Gotta Open Your Heart” or in “The Usung Heroes That Time Never Knew”. Joe describes is music as Glamericana and that’s quite a good word for it when you listen to “Summer Jobs” or “We Are The Normal”. Former ZEROS member is now turning into a working class hero, make sure you listen to this album. /Laurent C.

FREE SPEECH DOES NOT MEAN SPEECH THAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD OR SPEECH THAT YOU AGREE WITH!
I understand if people protesting the construction of an enormous IDF style urban military training facility funded by like 25 private corporations in the Atlanta forest is not everybody’s cause, but when a citizen is shot to death while sitting cross legged with his hands up, witnesses say he had no gun, that cops were returning friendly fire, and presented zero bodycam evidence that they had any legit reason to “fear for their lives” and all those people demonstrating against assassination of a treesitter kid are imprisoned without bail and charged with domestic terrorism, we are not free, which is why I stood with the Capital Hill Maga people’s right to protest, even though defending Donald J. Trump is certainly not my personal preferred cause. I’ve seen footage of Qshaman being ushered around by cops in the capital. Big media coverup of the cop city killing and dozens of protestors being charged with “terrorism” by the extrajudicial state executioners, sheesh, just like in east Palestine purposeful chemical burn making people sick and killing pets and wildlife and destroying all those farms on the Ohio/Pennsylvania border where they wanna get rid of the Amish and strip mine for cobalt. Cops there are branding Erin Brockovich a terrorist for organizing sick people against Blackrock.

BUCKCHERRY ARE STILL MAKING ENERGETIC SLEAZY EIGHTIES HAIR METAL! UNREAL!
I might go to see some new wave bands but I do not even understand how all the sports and events people can stand to shell out hundreds upon hundreds of dollars to be herded into stadiums like livestock and just see pre recorded bullshit and greedy old men going through the motions of pretending to play forty year old songs in wigs with big screens and pyro. Guns N Roses and Poison and the Crue are just like so not rocknroll to me at this point, they are mainstream moneymaking machines, might as well be fucking Foo Fighters and none of them can really write good songs anymore. That “Hard Skool” song did not even get one vote at Sleaze Roxx year end poll. Which makes sense cause they just aint got it anymore, no music people wanna hear those shite covers they play with their twenty piece employee orchestras. Shoulda consented to equal sharing the loot with Izzy.
I was preachin to all the people I used to know all the way back in the Sub-Pop years that some mediocre bands were being applauded and praised not because their songs rang with any lasting truth or conveyed any real emotions or featured any artistic innovations. Starting around that time, post college radio, post grunge, lots of these trustafarians were being applauded because their parents were wealthy and gave them shit. There was very little in the way of real art or music happening, it was all tribute band fourth hand retro imitation coverband rehash, but people were very excited by some tailored high end clothing, or vintage looking musical appartus-all it takes, I blame all that “The Hills” and “Kardashians” and Jake Paul influencer unreality show get rich Spin magazine lifetstyle programming. People were not even listening for good songs, it’s like they were giving a standing ovation to the price of all the shit the hipster bands owned. I’ve never been much of a pricetag praiser, personally. I even liked summa the hairspray metal bands a bit better than much of the hoax alternative and inheritance-indie shit that followed Cobain’s death.
I’ve said before how I thought that cool lookin’ Jetboy suffered from a certain lyrical dumbness in spite of all their snazzy apparel, although I do think “Don’t Touch My Hair” is a great song title for a glam band, but I felt like American Heartbreak really had a promising awareness of like, what makes a song at least above average, if not always exceptional, rather than just some halfass metalhead genre exercise like you know, “Feel The Shake/Feel The Earth Shake”, I mean that’s some sub Quiet Riot writing there in my opinion, but people loved it, I dunno know how, but metalheads don’t ask alot from their bands, do they? You know I totally can say that about that “Feel The Shake” chorus just always being dumb to me, but alsoeasily still agree Jetboy were infinitely better than some of the other also ran, lesser band, stupid spandex monkeys of the Sunset Strip. After reaching a higher peak of being able to write better, more power pop influenced songs with American Heartbreak, you’d think the Jetboy/American Heartbreak guy, Billy Rowe would encourage Buck Cherry’s still energetic livewire frontman Josh Todd to wanna work harder on his lyric writing, cause as a collective nowadays, they seem to have such renewed promise with Rowe onboard but it seems to kinda imply a band are more career oriented than art oriented when they are kinda lazily goin’ through the party time halfhearted heavy metal parking lot songwriting motions, ya know what I’m sayin’? With all the revolving door lineup brands especially like Guns N Roses and L.A. Guns, it seems many of the aging headbands are coasting on their old fame rather than feeling any urge to create anything new, or vital, or lasting, or meaningful for their fans.Most all the remaining hairbands seem primarily money oriented, hawking overpriced t shirts, overpriced Cameos, overpriced meet n greets, and playing big venues for the bread. Buck Cherry and Kix both seem harder working than most of their contemporaries though and both of those bands at least always endeavor to at least give the fans a real worthwhile, energetic live show. Vince has turned into Sam Kinison. Who even knows who is in L.A. Guns this week? Both guys are such complainer divas. I think Frankie Delmane from the Crazy Squeeze is more talented and authentic than any of the big money tattooed millionaire ex glam guys on the festival circuit.
When they have some halfway decent songs, like they did on their first record, Buck Cherry aren’t bad at all, probably even better than their original role models Guns N Roses, post-Appetite, I loved that first album and still consider it to be the last real good hard rock album to crack the mainstream. Songs like, “Lawless & Lulu”, “Borderline”, “For The Movies” and “Lit Up” are still echoing loudly through my traumatized old numbskull in spite of the fact that I went on a date with a hot girl named Ginger once to a meathead bar in the midwest and had to excuse myself early cause she could not stop talking about Josh Todd, but after that masterpiece sleaze metal landmark debut record, they seem to generate a relentless surplus of only so-so, ho-hum formulaic stuff after their Steve Jones produced first record, ya know? I mean I understand it gets ’em on the radio, the sniveling, syrupy autopilot ballads, but like, that “Sorry” song was awful in my opinion, “Ridin” sounded like nu metal, Korn or Limp Bizkit, almost. I don’t mind even the second string Buck Cherry tunes in small does, but I always want them to be better than they are, they’re just kindof like generic Waxl knockoffs and if they applied themselves, they might have turned into a timelessly good rock band, but they seem lazy in the songwriting department, like they don’t really make much of an effort to say anything that really means much or has any real heart invested in it, cause it’s seemingly enough to jump up an down and sound like poorman’s “Appetite” imitations, I mean I get that there is an audience for that, probably the same demigraphic who Brett Michaels appeals to, but just really not satisfying my desire to have a really good rocknroll band to listen to, they are like 1/4 of what a rocknroll band should be in my book, cause you know, I am a lyrics guy, I felt that way about a popular English band, too. And oh man, Steel Panther are THE WORST. I can not stand joke rock with dumb goofy fucking idiotic horndog fratboy lyrics, although I think Ralph is a formidable frontman like when he sings Roth’s lyrics. Just way too stupid for me to even try to sit through. Like I WANNA like these groups, but I should not have to make such an effort. Like that “Crazy Bitch” song, I know exactly what’s he’s sayin’, I been there, but the unimaginative power ballads and jump up and down scuzzmetal anthems just fall short, like Skid Row without Sebastian is even better than summa Buck Cherry’s lesser material, you know the “Gang’s All Here” version with that new guy who sings real high, but aint Sebastian who the fans all prefer. Or those terrible songs Nikki Sixx knocks out nowadays, like that shit with Machine Gun Whatsisname on the Dirt soundtrack that Tommy seems to think was good. Last thing I kinda even begrudgingly liked by Motley Crue was “Saints Of Los Angeles” and I don’t even know if Nikki wrote it, really, I think his friend might have. I guess in the hair metal world, nobody cares about writing really good songs, but like, to me, if you had all that access, and big studios and all that, why wouldn’t you want your songs to be great? Cause like Nikki Sixx is capable of writing really good songs, but he’s just become too content cashing checks for playing big stadium shows and just trading on his first four albums, I guess that’s what happens when you make all that big money. You end up not having anything real to say. I liked “Angel Down” by Sebastian Bach. That Brett Michaels retro road anthem, you know, it was okay on a commercial country kinda way, but yeah, man where are all the good rocknroll bands at? Been 25 years of like at best, rich kids throwing their money around, showing off their expensive clothes and playing covers, basically-I’m not really into it, at all. Like, yes, I see you wearing nice clothes but so what, most of these modern bands that kids all like and even old farts who should no better, and be more discerning, by now, it’s pitiful the way they all line up to applaud the clothes and money posers-“Money and Threads” was the title of a song I wrote about the Strokes like 25 years ago, I was sayin’ that’s all they got goin’, no real effort ever goes into being real at all, it’s just primping around with fancy hats and people seem to love all that-all that’s required is fucking having money ya know what I’m sayin’? People just throwin cash in the air like late nineties douchebag rappers. Showing off their $500 hats and bragging non stop about how they have sugar daddies, obviously, pumping money into them non stop for like only average to boring genre hag rehash. Sugar daddy rawk, gentrification bands with showbiz uncles, don’t do much for me besides getting on my nerves, really. Zero danger, zero heart, minimal commitment, and no originality or intimate expression, ya know? Capitalism Brats. Fuckin A man, just not my thing at all, but I was watching some John Varvatos produced show about women in rock and it was really good actually-Mavis Staples, Wanda Jackson, Patti Smith, Ricky Lee Jones, Romeo Void, Pat Benatar and Heart, X Ray Spex, Macey Gray, not enough Sinead or Chrissie Hynde in my opinion, but it was pretty rad at first but then they jump the shark by trying to impose these corporate narratives about how Beyonce is so great because she sells a lotta records. Her best song I ever heard was “Put A Ring On It” which is supposed to pass for some kinda feminist empowerment statement, and she did not even write it, some dude did. “Ring on it”, ya know? Cause diamonds. I dunno why people go along with the story about how Diddy, Kany, Beyonce and Jay Z are supposedly artistic geniuses rather than just admitting the corporations have chosen to thrust all those people on us, they are rich, that is true, but I don’t see the art part. Biggie writing about the black music magazines in his room was endearing, Kanye sampling Ray Charles was a good choice I guess, but overall, I’m not into any of the Capitalist Rappers anymore than the gentrification brunch Nephew Rockers. Faster Pussycat and the Hangmen and Junkyard and Circus Of Power still kickass, but Buck Cherry are like Guns N Roses understudies. One record and that was really it. I still begrudgingly liked a smattering of tunes from their dozen studio lps since that smash hit debut. At least they know how to rock. “Lit Up” never gets old. L.A. Guns are still okay but man it’s sad they can’t keep a lineup together-I know how that is. It’s even harder if you can’t command some Headbanger’s Ball fame headliner nightclub guarantees. I will say Carrie Underwood who I’m basically unfamilar with really seems to be killin’ it here with her Axl appearance. Carmine Appice sez his friend Mick Mars is happier now going back to playing guitar rather than being part of the pre programmed stadium ticket selling machine. I always kinda root for Mick Mars.

ALL THE ROCKNROLL PEOPLE
Thrill seekers, fun lovers, and rebellious spirited appreciators of Bowie, Clash, and Beatlesque power pop are all ginned up about the new CD “Public Works” by underground power pop and glam icon, Joe Hutchinson, who you might know as the pop songbird behind the Anytown’rs and Hutch, or style maverick guitar hero of such stalwart punkroll bands as Cold Blue Rebels, Slow Motorcade, and the legendary purple haired Zeroes who once had the Coconut Teaszer painted in their honor while lining all the glam brats up around the block to see their memorable shows, back in the last gasps of the glam daze. He is one of the more talented musicians in the American scene and it is a mystery to most everybody who knows anything about real rocknroll, how he has managed to successfully avoid becoming assimilated into the big mainstream star making machinery. He’s so talented at everything, a stellar guiatrist, solid lyricist, sings great, knows about how to be a team player and how to put high quality lineups together and promote himself. I’ve been a fan of his for a long time and continue to be impressed by his prolific songwriting abilities. His band the Anytown’rs played Cheap Trick level rocknroll, just listen to their fabulous tune, “Into The City Tonight”!

“Over 10 million children live in poverty in the US, so send $100 billion to Ukraine. Biden keeps telling us how great the economy is doing, but everytime I go to the Supermarket all I do is here people complaining about how hard it is to afford their groceries now. The Establishment has got to find a way to stop Trump from running again, because he might win by too big a margin to stop him. Many countries in the Global South see a better future for themselves partnering with China and no longer want to bullied, threatened, robbed and told how they have to live by the United States. Zelensky could have honored the Minsk Agreement instead of letting the US use his country in a Proxy war they’d been trying to start for decades
What has he got for his decision? Is Ukraine in NATO, a part of the EU?
No, they are being destroyed like every country the US uses.
If we stop letting our Gov’t lie us into wearing blindfolds, and take them off we won’t see the rosy picture they’re painting, we will see reality.

JOHN DISSED I’ve been reading that Michael Goldberg book about how the sixties Beat Poets really influenced Bob Dylan and that got me thinking about how Steve Earle was kinda our last real significant musical social commentator in this country…until the arrival of Kennedy investigating podcasting songwriting hero and all around, righton power to the people activist, Mister John Dissed, who was sortof discovered, or brought to my attention, by the leftist power pop champion Anthony Castillo, the songwriting guiding force behind that nineties Los Angeles supergroup, SLOW MOTORCADE. John Dissed is sortof like a modernday equivalent to Billy Bragg or TV Smith or even Roger Waters, he is really just so smart and talented and a true freedom fighter. I follow John Dissed on Twitter and listen to all his podcasts and you should, too. He is a very well informed, serious researcher, sortof like Jimmy Dore or Whitney Webb….WITH GUITARS!

Where are you gonna go? Do people realize how ridiculous they sound when they argue that their Party is the honest one and the news networks they watch are the ones telling the truth?
Wake up both Parties are corrupt and all that corporate owned news you’re all watching is propaganda. We need to come together as a society and put an end to Nuland’s war. How many people do you think are struggling like hell still believing Biden telling them how great the economy is, simply because he’s a Democrat? No matter where the virus started, keep in mind that the US is now willing to say it started in Wuhan because they want to add it to the list for us to hate China, and they won’t mention that our Gov’t funded that research. You notice how the people that were calling everybody even skeptical of Big Pharma and our Gov’t that refused to take the vaccine, “anti-science and antivaxxers”, have conveniently ignored the science ever since it told a different story. I understand the job of Corporate “News” is to get views, push their Party narratives, spread State propaganda and to keep us divided. When both the Dems and GOP, and Fox and MSNBC are all telling us the same thing it isn’t a good thing, it means that there is something of extreme importance to the Owners that requires all their workers to brainwash the public.
The reason why I despise stations like MSNBC and CNN more is the way their TV personalities present themselves as morally superior.
So many questions now that the Saudis and Iranians have reestablished ties Will it bring an end to the war in Yemen? Will they both join BRICS? What does this mean for Syria? What happens to the dollar? While the US has been fueling their proxy war, the world is moving on.” (-Black In The Empire)

KKKOP CITY COVERUPS STILL SUCK!
I feel really bad for that tree sitter kid the cops killed for protesting their urban warfare training center being funded by twenty big corporations in the Atlanta forrest. Shitlb media manufactured consent for superfunding the alphabet gangs and racist police with all their non stop hammer hoopla over the Maga people doubting the election results when both Bernie Sanders and Trump had big overflowing crowds of supporters and Biden barely even campaigned. So yeah, when the tv says the rightwing traumatized AOC, most suggestible Murkkkaans just go along with the idea that protestors should be hauled off to prison for daring question the word of known liars, or for assembling at the capital. The Real Left has been telling the centrist shitlibs since Obama that censorship is a bad idea, but they are too safespace triggered and hypnotized by the topdown fauxwoke gender narrative to notice when all the leftist media is being hidden online or disappeared from tech platforms because it challenges the weapon makers and big pharma mandate and pro war narratives. I know Democrats who are mad at Matt Taibbi from “Rolling Stone” for uncovering how the government and big tech colluded to hide the Hunter Biden corruption in the Ukraine story before the election. Now this new guy the deep state wants to install as an alternative to Trump, if not Lyn Cheney, Desatis is a known Gitmo torturer. All the people in Atlanta protesting the tree sitter forest defender being shot 13 times by cops while sitting crosslegged with his hands up according the the autopsy are being held without bail for demonstrating, and being charged with terrorism. We told you this was gonna keep happening during the Water Protectors being attacked with violence by mercenaries during Standing Rock when your fave corporation-prez said he was gonna “let it play out”, rather than intervene or protect original peoples over big oil company profits. It is a sad state of affairs when government thugs can assassinate wildlife nature preservers, AND charge their defenders with “terrorism” charges, and so many people who even think of themselves as progressive will standby and tollerate that shit, because of how it gets copaganda framed or hidden by big 5 corporate media monopolies. If you’re like me, you wake up terrorized and horrified by all the lies and hypocrisy and warpiggery and corporate funded Judge Dredd/Rambo military policing in this country. Everybody looks the other way when Gropey Joe and imperial Blinken send more billions to Ukraine for endless war and Nato expansionism everyday, while totally ignoring all the sick people poisoned by the Blackrock chemical burn in Palestine, Ohio-they even deploy those horribly partisan, no heart Karens of “The View” to say they have no pity for the sick people with dying animals because that county mostly voted for Trump. Everything on tv is still jsut single issue forever focused on Trump. What kindof person says shit like that? No sympathy? No pity for the sick and dying if they belong to a different political party sports team? It’s exactly the same as those righwing whackadoo hate preachers who say shit like fires and floods are caused because somebody is gay somewhere, and that’s the vengeful wrath of their rightwing assault weapons gawd. Madness all around us. In her series, “Pretend It’s A City”, Fran Lebowitz talks about existing in a near perpetual state of rage about the plastic plants and lawnchairs in the Disneyfied Times Square and how when the government declared the air safe after 9/11, she knew it wasn’t safe and it wasn’t dust and her documentarian Martin Scorsese mentioned all the people who got cancer after officials marked the air safe to breathe in NYC. She also recalls confronting billionaire Bloomberg about all of his nanny state gentrification policies and asked him what you call artists drinking and smoking and hanging out, and when he had no idea, she said, it is the history of art. I find it encouraging that Fran and Martin can see these problems with such clarity in spite of their fame. Even Spike Lee and Oliver Stone, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Jill Stein get big-tech and state censored in the Divided States Of Amnesia. Most people can’t even see the mushroom clouds past the preposterous footage of “Chinese Balloons”, Oscar propaganda, and constant din of culture wars and “Russiagate” new cold war McCarthyist hysteria.

“Progressives” also refused to support Workers Strike Back, a labor group ran by socialists. It’s seems to me like the boutique left just wants to organize with liberals. Ro Khanna wants to bail out the Silicon Valley Bank because he’s on the payroll.

Ukraine’s Death by Proxy – The Chris Hedges Report (substack.com)
“US Foreign Policy is based solely around the US not letting any country come close to challenging their hegemony and their idea of diplomacy is to issue threats or sanction, coup or invade if you don’t do what they say. You can blame Trump for these bank crashes, but will you blame Biden for his role in the mass incarceration of Black people, a million people being killed in Iraq, the genocide in Yemen, the student debt crisis, the 2008 crash and more.” (-Black In The Empire) Why are people wondering why countries are turning to China?
“Progressives” are very used to acting as gatekeepers to who Leftists can work with. They get very upset when their determinations aren’t obeyed. There’s ego involved. Ultimately, the actual purpose of a “progressive” is to co-opt Leftists back under control of the Dem Party.” (-Jon Cutt)
“
Liberalism is just right-wing capitalism with a smile. Always has been. “Progressives” are just liberals with a toe dipped into socialist waters. But they never venture in. They always just run back to their bourgeois pool chairs, sipping cocktails made from the people’s blood.” (-Nathan Shirley)

KAJAGOOGOO
All was well when I lived in Lexington, Kentucky, I was sorta the star of recess and the school plays, got good grades, loved to read “Cracked” and “Foom” and “Mad” and Narnia and the Hobbit, gnomes and “Heavy Metal” magazine, you know all the seventies fantasy illustrations by the Brothers Hildebrandt and Frazetta like you’d see on the covers of old Molly Hatchet records and 70’s vans. I had a local comicbook store where I was friend with the older stoners. lotsa little pals who were all into Star Wars and Grease. Beatles and Monkees, Elvis had just died. Shaun Cassidy and Andy Gibb were big as hell. Then, my mom met some creepy dude and married him and moved us to Ohio where all the white suburban rich kids were into golf shirts, designer jeans, football and did I mention golf? They straightup loved “The Preppie Handbook” and did not see it as satire, it was the white people bible. I thought all that shit was awful conformist excrement. They found out I needed glasses and bought me the ugliest pair you can imagine and a girl’s bicycle. I had a southern accent and could not catch a football, so I got harrassed non stop by older kids, bruised in the locker room and beat up at the roller rink. The history teacher in the seventh grade used to put me in the classroom closet as a warning to the others. I was talking about the class war and slavery and the genocide of the indigenous peoples and telling my friends about Fred Hampton and Abbie Hoffman, from a young age. The rich white suburban sports school loved Ronald Reagan and were all totally devoted to worshipping the rich, I was the opposite, and therefore became a very polarizing lightning rod among my peers. Man they made an example of me for years, everyday, some bigger fat Republikkan kid would push me into a locker or otherwise humiliate me. The kung fu sadist rich kid with the Trans Am and the big Bon Jovi perm really hated me. My mom had changed my last name to her creepy husband’s and it was all just a horribly traumatizing, punishing hell. I rebelled. Started wearing my own weird styles, kinda thrift store pink makeup B-52’s budget punk, pre Ducky from “Pretty In Pink”. I sat beside a beautiful coltish brunette horse riding rich chick who was way outta my league named Paulette B. and she loved Kajagoogoo, and told me to get contacts and change my hair to look more like Limahl. I was too much of a gawky yellow teethed scrany, awkard Ramone to ever be a pinup heart throb Limahl, but started spiking my hair up like Billy Idol or Robert Smith. I’d bleach it orange with not enough toner then dyed it blue/black and the school admin went berserk over it. In about three years, I’d gone from “Sit Down Waldo!” to full on Pete Burns. Looked like an uglier younger sister of Gene Loves Jezebel. Girls started liking me, I formed a band with some other outcast weirdos, but could not find a drummer-back then they all wanted to play Rush covers with that kung fu kid who had the Big Marshall. We started hiding out in my basement practicing bad metal covers, writing greasy kid protest songs like, “Victims Of The System”. My life changed. I was still getting mobbed by the Catholic school wrestlers and paddled by principals and put on curfew by the juvenile authorities for drawing new wave logos in my schoolbooks and “disrupting the learning process” by asking to many questions in history class and determinedly challenging their racist whitewash bullshit narratives. I started making comicbooks and xeroxing them at the library that got passed around in study hall, that were like underground social commentary. A kid named Steve Blythe started copying my work and stole my character “Killer Teddy Bear”. Funny what you remember. Some guys named Craig and Brett and Mark and Aaron and John L a big football player antagnized me constantly so I quit dressing for gym. My friend Dan L. from the Catholic school, a talented guitar player from a strict military family got sick of seeing me and his brother Dustin getting tthe business from the football team so he beat up the big fat footballer John L, but that did not stop the harrassment for long. I made friends with an older illusionist/escape artsit in a nearby town named, Theo Mandrake. He was teaching me about showbiz and performance, met another magician named Al Houdin. My homemade comicbooks became more about music gradually and my first fanzine was about what little Devo ad Police and Go Gos punk and new wave was available to smalltown kids who did not yet have cable. The stepdad tried to do some real ugly abusive shit so I went out the window and took refuge at my rich friend Sean’s, but he was becoming an ongoing issue. I ranway to NYC for a little over a year, year and a a half maybe, had big adventures, met people, got a foxy girlfriend., moved in with her. Dump apartment in the dangerous Bowery. Started going to nightclubs and fter hours with her saw shows that really changed me, gave me a lot of new energy and inspiration. Antoinettes, Fleshtones, Wendy Wild, Jickets, Butthole Surfers. Went back to the midwest to foolishly pursue another girl who was outta my league, emboldened by my having lived with a beautiful woman almost ten years older than myself. That was a big mistake, of course, cause the abusive local authorities really wanted to use me as an example of what happens when you skip school, talk back, refuse to kiss up to popular jock bullying assholes, and wear alot of badly applied makeup. When I finally got out of detention hall, which was a grueling, unspeakable, damaging three months of torture, I met some older punk from a nearby town who helped me get a job at a stained glass studio. I started dreaming I had a chance with that girl again, the beatiful new wave chick, but she had moved on to some more conventional blue eyed soccer hero in Merry Go Round clothes from the big city, who had a mom who taught at my rich school, and he even had a car. I was totally in love with her for years, but also more importantly, with the music the older punk was teaching me about-I was particularly obsessed with that Public Image Ltd. song, “Rise”: “they put a hotwire to my head cause of the things I did and said, they make these feelings go away a model citizen in everyway”.
Sometimes, the hicks and preps would catch me walking somewhere and break my glasses, or two hicks would hold my arms behind my back while some jealous boyfriend would bloody my nose. Growing up in the midwest sucked. It got even worse during Grunge/Alternative, when all these same kinda fratboy private school fuckers decided they were ALSO Grunge/Alternative. Summa my bands played out at these boy’s clubs and richkid keggers and backyard barbq’s and we started having a real cool time tonight. Almost every night. One of my girlfriend’s got pregnant we moved into a big bandhouse on the edge of town where it was said other hippie undesirables had previously thrown concerts in the yard all the way back in the sxties. Some other girlfriend’s parents got whipped into a frenzy by the daytime talk show Tipper Gore antirock hysteria, they brought in these fanatical behavior modification grifters from out of state, and the local 700 Club Christian Broadcast Network started airing these anti punk talk shows where righwing evangelicals would warn the already uptight sports parents who worked for the General Dynamics tankplant about the pinko commie threat of “120 Minutes” and teenagers who were getting into the Smiths and the Replacements. Some of my various bandmates just wanted to be in Regular Joe bands that could be accpeted by the normies and the squares, they stayed in their hometown high school zipcodes and got like, generic say nothing, non threatening Kendoll singers from the usual predator class honky suburbs and assimilated into straight society sports bar popularity. I was too far gone Tex & The Horseheads and Lords Of The New Church for anything like that. Most of my former sidemen got into music to be popular or fit in, or get girls, I wanted to lead a youth revolt. Big difference. So yeah when I escaped to Boston when I turned twenty, the metalheads and heavily tattooed rockers I started meeting all thought my synthpop heroes and goth influences like Gene Loves Jezebel and Duran Duran were absolutely ridiculous, but all those bands have always stayed in my heart. I met some people who kinda begrudingly liked Generation X and Hanoi Rocks and Dogs D’Amour and Mother Love Bone. I continued writing songs and developing as a frontman, but could never afford highpriced studio costs, or highpriced rehearsal spaces, so the drummers would always split for people with moms or girlfriends willing to pay for them to record. It was so, so fucking heartbreaking but we kept on trying until one by one they all died or fuckedoff and Here I Am. Lone Wolf still howling at the moon. The world has changed as the techbillionaires consolidated more and more power, until they became capable of censoring every little corner of the public airwaves and the evil forces of gentrification purged all us guttersnipes and rabble rousers from their hipster dominions. I still don’t fit in with any of the mainstream narrative bullshittery. Kajagoogoo were okay but I always thought Duran Duran should have helped produce me, I rock like fuck. I’m the original neurotic boy outsider. It’s the never ending story.

ROCK ME TONIGHT
People my age, and there seems like there’s less and less of us around now, esp. since everybody started dropping dead just suddenly and nobody in the highbrow academic world or corporate big 5 monopoly media can figure out why, they say it might have something to do with plane turbulence, or exercising too much, or stress caused by conspiracy theorists, but most of us have fond memories of Billy Squire and songs like “My Kinda Lover” were what were playin’ while we were makin’ eyes at Crystal or or Missy or Geena or Sheri or Raina or Heather, right? So I dunno what evil industry titan he pissed off, what temperance league scold committee spinster frowned on “The Stroke”, or what kinda jiveass garbage that was where popular media insisted for years on end that supposedly, Billy Squire sucked now cause some Beavis & Buttheads, or overpaid “Rolling Stone” boyband apologist like Rob Sheffield, somewhere, decided his Miami Vice influenced video for “Rock Me Tonight” was not butch macho enough for cornfed Midwestern audiences of patriotic heavy metal and professional wrestling fans. I don’t know about all those cavemen, or what they like besides Hooters, Home Depot, oversized vehicles and Pamela Anderson in the eighties, but I always personally thought Billy Squire was awesome, a heavy metal meets power pop hard rocker in the Cheap Trick/Van Halen/Pop Rocks sorta genre. I’m happy to see he’s makin’ a comeback. The popular vote is always the dummy vote-who cares what those people think? I like rocknroll, Billy’s made of it. Motherfuckers just jealous he rocks so hard.

I always tried to carry on the tradition of my dear old pal Dave. A., my first record store guru who got me into stuff like the Doors, Stooges and MC5 when I was a young Beatles/Monkees/Elvis enthusiast. He’s gone now, but I got little buttons of him on all my leather jackets and leather vests, and he is never that far from my thoughts, he’s like my own Jimminy Cricket. He had a band called Billy Ray Bogart & The Hot Rod Gang who used to open up for my own sorta amateur hour glammish grebo goth gang, the Neons, way back in the dark ages. Let’s do a little “Black Gladiator ” together this morning, whaddya say?

NICK RHODES AND STEVEN DUFFY
Me and my Gary Numan obsessed best friend Jaysin B wanted to create a band like this 100 years ago when he was still alive and my self esteem had not been so battered but of course we were just minimum wage earners and there was just no way for either of us or both of us to buy a proper synthesizer back then and all those cheap thrift store Casios with the pre programmed drum machines can only take you so far. The ridiculous part is how I’m still at it, fuckin’ around with the pre programmed drum machine program on my kid’s old Casios in the garage, I wish sometimes I was a better piano player, my old lady is very good at all of it, but we never really have private time together to work on anything, if our teenager aint into it, it aint happenin’ so everything is all about firearms, fireworks, Guuci hype beat clothing and extotic wildlife ownership like on “The Tiger King”, that’s how it is. Jaysin and I kept fucking around with tape recorders and crap keyboards until he drifted over into this downtown trendy haircut crowd and I stayed with our stoner skateboard pal who I shoplifted Van Halen tablature for and we finally had some garage bands goin’ . When Jaysin B and my record store co worker Dave A and my rapper friend Cory L and the great songwriter Paul K all shuffled off the planet it put me in a deep and ongoing kinda gloom, ya know? Then my other ace best pal Bobby who used to drive me to Duran Duran concerts in faraway cities and get us backstage with his National Record Mart credentials having portrayed Andy taylor in a fucking lipsynch Duran Duran tribute act, he died suddenly, too. Just found out another guy I was close to years ago RKH has died. My first guitar player’s mom, also. Good Grief, have mercy. Ya know?
So ya know I wanted that Andy Taylor book for Christmas but accidentally received two copies of some other rock bio instead-now, since he’s fallen ill, Ebay prices for it shot through the roof and now hover somewhere around the eighty dollar zone. Who’s got eighty bucks for a fooking book? Not me, man, and the satin 80’s Duran Jackets are all marked at ripoff Etsy prices everywhere too. Most of my limited access to anything rocknroll nowadays is beamed out to me via youtube. Remember that catchy pop song from the “Some Kinda Wonderful” soundtrack, “She Loves Me”? That was by Steven Duffy, Duran Duran’s first singer, pre Simon LeBon. So yeah a couple years ago, or longer, times flies now for us decrepit “Smash Hits” Durannies, Nick got back together with his old collaborator from Birmingham and co created a atmospheric new band called The Devils based on old song ideas that they’d commenced as kids but never quite finished. Of course where I live, so far out in the deepest desrt outback, nobody cares about Duran Duran or Aracadia or even David Bowie, let alone some little known spinoff side project band, but of course, I’m totally into it. I think it’s so beautiful-just the kinda old new romantic new wave music I love. They even do “Big Store”.

HACKED POP’S BEEN HIJACKED BY SAME OLD SUSPECT MILLIONAIRE CANNIBALS OF PREDATOR CAPITALISM
Iggy says “Fuck The Regency”.
‘Same way Ellen, Fallon, Kimmel, Maher and Colbert were all deployed to help Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone rehabilitate the public images of Obama, Condoleeza Rice, W Bush and the Cheneys, now a grizzly bearded Letterman is being trotted out post retirement to be a Dr. Phil pitchman to the aging Late Night watchers fro his 80’s heydays, throwing softball bootlicking simp questions to empire narrative managers, Bono, Obama, and Zelensky. Kindof gross and sickening once you recognize how they do it. Sean Penn sold out to the bankers and weapon manufacturers, too, it’s sad as hell, really. I loved U2 as a kid so much, used to sing their songs so loud in my purple apartment, the grumpty guitarist from down the hall would come bangin’ at my door, but fell off hard once they drifted into whitewashing Nato warpig agendas, unscrupulous Libya and Iraq and Afghanistan overthrowing central bankers, and CFR/WEF/NWO agendas. I think the last songs I really remember liking by them were from the “Summer Rain” and “Stuck In A Moment” era. I’d never say they weren’t good performers or songwriters, only that it’s an obscenity to help sell globalist mass murder agendas under cover of being Martin Luther King Jr. poetry Christians. They know Obama aint nothing like King, he was never MLK’s dream come true-only Cheney and Kissinger’s-they U2 millionaires know Bush/Cheney and the Clintons are criminals, gangsters of capitalism, but still they got in bed with ’em and Gates and Kissinger and Bezos and Klaus. No thanks. As Bowie said, “this aint rocknroll, this is genocide”, so I won’t be part of the pig-media U2 revival, no matter how many smirking rich Howard Stern types insist it’s just wholesome and okeydokey to support the monsters of war, or that it’s cool to be a sellout fraud for money, money, money, money. I am heartened to see the Cure is coming back though, I still can’t believe Reeves Gabbrels from The Atom Said and Tin Machine is the band now. Good choice, actually, as he is a very good guitar player. I met him many times with his tiny Boston indie band in my early 20’s. A more experienced gardener has said I planted my seeds in the ground too early, but you know it’s my first time really trying to grow flowers in the desert, as the song goes. I’m a dreamer. KISS, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses and all the fake bullshit that Rolling Stone and Spin pimp for the monopolies hold little interest to me, I’m still wishing somebody new would come along who can write real songs with real heart and not just more assemblyline muppet with producers and song doctors pulling ther strings from behind the scenes. I still care about real rocknroll although as damaged as I’ve become from being browbeaten these past 25 years by the same bullshit n lies for power media juggernauts you have, I find it harder to write my own songs from a fresh perspective and not that many people I know are even into muisc at all anymore, not like they are into Amazon products or pro war media propaganda brainwashing, it’s kinda been wiped out by the unboxers and influencers and youtubers and gotime selfie takers and virtue signaling, safespace conditioned, identity politricks, shitlib Kopmala worshippers. My sincere endeavor is to jump off the internet column social commentary habit and dive deeper into the collaborating on music with people eye to eye sooner than later, but it is hard in the antisocial age they’ve manufactured to really get the timing right so I can convene with collaborators in real time without triggering any homeschooled family members. Bono is probably the worst sellout ever, you can’t call Obama a sellout cause he was never a real community orgnizer or constitutional scholar to begin with, he was always a marketing tool, a frontman with no real love for freedom or human rights, a Cheney rebrand Nike Swoosh Kissinger product.
“How much of a clearer admission could he provide that he is part of the security establishment?” (Gordon Cook on George Monbiot but it could just as easily describe Bono, Maddow, Letterman, Ellen, etc.)

ROCKET USA
Man you know me and my new wave pal Jaysin just loved Suicide so much, we thought for sure between my lyrics and his good looks, there had to be away for us to make it big in show business playing electrotrash, for years he eschewed ANYTHING with guitars, but then he could not resist Depeche Mode and New Order’s guitar based stuff. He’s dead, I love him, always have, always will, one of the many dearly beloveds who’ve gone on to the afterhours new wave bar in the sky, ya know when New Model Army sings about the dark bars and how we’d gather in the corners like a coven of witches, it makes me smile cause in my damaged old head, that’s me and the lost boys over there on a Sunday night in Indiana, smoking cigarettes and scowling at our rivals and wearing all the things that nobody wears. I met some older goths my senior year and they already had a little 4 track drum machine death rock three piece band, already had a singer, too-so I had to wait like a year for the keyboardist in the long coat to go away to state college to learn about etiquette from imperialist narrative managers, and their gloomy singer briefly agreed to play drums for me and the guitarist and one of his other friends in a new group, but he soon realized he would not be the only koal eyed leather jacketed super starlet in his age group anymore if I was elevated to any visibility, so he got real glum and whenever he would leave the nightly malt liquor party where we toyed with their archaic drum machine on the cement floor of the guitarists absolute shithole basement apartment, he’d say good night with some kinda morbid sendoff like, “See ya tomorrow….if I’m alive!” So we kinda knew we better continue the search for another drummer and that just seemingly goes on forever if you are an underground punknroll motherfucker like me, there’s never enough drummers, so ya know they only wanna play for like big name established headliners, get the dough. So now I am in a lonesome freezing graveyard town and there aint no real drummers to be found, I spend my warmer days out in the glam cave toying with the tape recorder and the prerecorded drum machine patterns of the thrift store keyboard we got a few years ago. Suicide were so cool, so inventive, fearless, and heartfelt and aggressively theatrical influencing everybody from Basquiat and Billy Idol to Sparks and Pet Shop Boys and Sputnik and me and you.They are one of those real special bands that never got enough recognition or money in their time, but not everybody is just motivated by the dangly carrot of fame and fortune, thankfully. You know that Morrissey lyric about, “the days when you were hoplessly poor, I just liked you more…” ? That’s how I feel about the people I used to know, they were cooler before the rich people found out they were cool, and told them they were cool, so now they are kinda hung up on always hearing that same shit crackling outta the loudspeaker at the gentrification camp about how cool they are and how wonderfully prestiegious it is to be elitists of cool. A taste o tinsel has killed or ruined many good people. All the Frankies time forgot. I’m definitely as corruptible as the rest-there were five or six years in my late teens and early twenties when I went struttin’ around the Lower East Side, feeling just imminent, in my patchwork leather jacket, thinking I was Rob Tyner, 5000! I have to go meet with a bureaucrat today and you know the clipboards with the office jobs have always, always, always hated my guts cause they just have that sneaking suspicion that somehow I’m the ringleader of some kinda forbidden shenanigans that should somehow be thwarted or severely frowned upon, it’s like that old quote about puritanism, that fanatical fear that somebody somewhere got away with some fun once, even though in my case, all that was a long long time ago. Fuckers I aint seen for thirty years still mad cause they imagine I’m somewhere in a hot tub drinking with girls. I got a song about it-it’s called “Drinking With Girls”!

GIVE THE ANARCHIST A CIGARETTE
Okay so I found a couple of eccentric hermit desert rats and now I gotta find a time when it won’t bum anybody out for me to convene with them to commence our special bonfire jam, edge of town torch and twang cowpunk get-down. I got new songs simmering so I’m happy I found a local who seems to possess some know how when it comes to heavy reggae dub echo and recording shit on these newfangled handheld gadget surveillance grid devices. One encouraging bit is that the wildhaired guitar player has already heard of Peter Laughner and the MC5 and Townes Van Zandt and the Deviants so I don’t really gotta make him tapes or send him home with any rare old vinyl to study, he already knows where it’s at. Mick Farren was a sixties action shaker and novelist and vovalist who wrote songs for Motorhead and wayne Kramer and shit. All my old hippie record collector acidhead pals were really ginned up about Pink Fairies, Deviants, Rationals, MC5 and of course, Hawkwind back in the day when I finally got my first record store job, my old garagre punk guru Dave A, he got us new wave kids wise to Captain Beefheart and the Standells, shit like that. Seeds. Blue Cheer. He loved to drop acid, I’d have to put a blanket on him sometimes when he’d go streaking around in the bank parking lot behind the Roxy, where we lived upstairs in my first purple apartment. They burned that place to the ground, my guitarist’s old apartment, too, my bandhouse in between the Christian bookstore and car dealership, and the goth chick from California who used to sneak me into her parent’s basement when it snowed, they tore that one down too. Just like Chrissie Hynde laments, all my favorite places are gone now. That record store became a guitar shop like twenty years ago and all my friends from back there have died. Mick Farren was a member of the UK chapter of the White Panthers and never stopped rockin’ or fighting against The Man, he died onstage of a heart attack at a Deviants performance at the age of 69. He collaborated with everybody-member’s of John’s Children, Dr. Feelgood, the Pretenders, on and on. Mick Farren’s one of the underground trailblazers I try to teach my kids about, but you know how it is, they are more interested in their own generation’s swing. A couple guys I had my bands with like old revolution rock, but others got married and became tv watchers and shit. What can ya do? Light a bonfire, write a poem, grow a garden, boycott the masters of the universe warpig propaganda. Look up. Oh yeah, Mick Farren wrote a book called “Scerets Of The CIA”, you should look for it if you are part of the truth and freedom community.

“Dear Fellow Americans
Our Gov’t lied us into the Iraq War and killed a million people, they just lied to us for 20 years about what was really happening in Afghanistan.
If you let them make you believe Putin went into Ukraine for no reason and Ukraine is winning you’re just dumb. Zelensky talks to Americans like we borrowed money from him. I’m tired of this. Zelensky made a choice to listen to the West, ignore the Minsk agreement and to stall so Ukraine could prepare their military. Well you got the war you wanted, stop begging Americans for money, and to our politicians stop stealing our money for your proxy war. The non stop weapons commercial called the Ukraine War helped Lockheed Martin break records for HIMARS sales. If you pay attention it is our Gov’t constantly telling us that we support giving weapons to Ukraine, not the other way around…I’ve been telling everybody for years now The owners of the United States would rather destroy the World than lose their control of it. You see what I mean now? The U.S. is watching their control of the World slip away and the 2 countries they see as their main competitors are Russia and China Our rulers hatred of those 2 Powers has nothing to do with democracy, freedom, or human rights It’s about America remaining ruler of the Planet. Western White hegemony is coming to an end and the U.S. which is the leader is in a panic This won’t be the last proxy war they start so get ready for more unnecessary death and destruction. The Squad and Bernie had a choice and in spite of the millions we gave and faith we put in them, they chose the Dems. Get over it, face reality and move on. The reason why American citizens will always lose is that MSNBC and Fox viewers, and loyal Dem and GOP voters totally despise each other, while Pelosi and McConnell are really friends…Please stop with the Dem vs GOP world they’ve created for us Again They don’t hate each other, they’re job is to make us hate each other. The Biden Administration blew up their allies pipeline. The Black community needs to figure out that neither one of the Parties is trying to help us GOP can just come out and say they’re not doing it, Dems have the added step of having to find an excuse for why they can’t, because we vote for them. We have to learn to work together. Step 1 to unplug from the Matrix
Realize that the United States is not a democracy. The rulers ability to purchase our Gov’t and media have given them the ability to make us hate whoever is a threat to their wealth, power and control
To make sure it’s clear.
Not a threat to us, but a threat to them.” (-Black In The Empire)
“John Bolton, who’s apparently convinced himself that people want him to run for president, says the Ukraine war is a “global war” and China/Russia are the new “Axis” powers. Very reassuring, thanks. If you were one of the core figures in government agitating for the “unprovoked” US war in Libya, and then it turned out the way it did, you’d think the *bare minimum* you might do afterwards is not agitate for additional wars. But you’d need to have at least a bit of shame. The same people we were assured would responsibly calibrate their giant arms-funneling operation to avoid undue risk and/or expanding the conflict now turn around and warn it’s about to become an epochal confrontation between the US and China” (-Michael Tracey on the usual suspect ghouls of death the pig media trots out on behalf of the weapons maker shareholders, horrible shameless warpigs put us all at risk of annhilation, but yeah I know you got that backstage pass and Tibetan prayer flag)

AIMEE MANN
In some other overcaffeinated column here I confess to ultimately chickening out way back when I wanted to get to know Aimee Mann and she seemed totally receptive, I think it was on Thursday nights when I used to see her at the crowded bar in the banking disctrict back in Boston, but I became shy around her, I think I was partly distrustful of the much older local music biz hustler who was repeatedly goading me to approach her, something in me just intuited he was having fun at my expense, insisting she was flirting with me, I’m ultimately glad and grateful I listened to my own little instincts and did not hassle her at her table like so many, many foolish fratboys, but always loved her songwriting so much. My fifteen year old kid’s been playing this song everyday lately and I slowly realized whose voice I’m being dreamily hypnotized by. It is so beautiful. Gorgeous. Love her!

BEAT’S SO LONELY
Imagine if publishers had tried to piss test purity-check the Beats, make sure none of ’em ever drank or drugged or slept around, or did anything “problematic” or “offensive” or “objectionable” in the eyes of p.c. rich kids who insisted that everyone be microchipped and obediant and willing to vote for warpigs and torturers based on gender or tokenist hue before they were allowed any kind of popular platform or media access? Where would their gentrification saints all be? All those richkids in the Johnny Thunders coverbands do drugs. Reds, blues, rich or poor. Most of Murkkka is strungout on one substance or another, of course their preferences vary. Lot of ’em pray to Pig Pharma, or legal for white people in rich zipcodes corporate-reefer. Are you a winebox mom, or a double secret undercover pill gobbler? Most Murkkkans are more comfortable with lyin’ass liars than they are with objectonable truth tellers who maybe drink some, or otherwise self medicate, but don’t try to hide and lie about it like all the compliant, culty script reciters. They just stick with the winners, right? Congregate daily in the exclusive safespace VIP rooms. It’s all about staying with other haves in their eco-nomic chambers repeating reassuring optimism slogans about how Biden’s improving the echonomy, shit he said in the bullshit state of the union.

BEBE IS BACK!
So it’s hard for a blind old bat like me to read in this dark place, esp. with the loud kid’s non stop youtube teenager media blare, so I wanna go outside and lounge in the sunny yard with my highly prized Bebe Buell book, but it’s still so windy that pieces of fence and debris come blowing at me everytime I step outside. Looks beautiful but the wind is like always so intense lately. Honestly I think it has something to do with the geoengineering. I might get to go to the only affordable second hand store in town later today but since we bought an electric blanket there yesterday, we might just have to hunker down in our rabbit hole while the beautiful wife does her weekly grocery trip that always leaves us both shookup in a state on high anxiety and mourning. Those fuckedup Walton billionaires and all their bipartisan governmental cronies are just upping the ante non stop in their tireless crusade the punish the poor. It’s rough out here with the crazy weather and superinflation, relentless war propaganda and rightwing ranchers always tellin’ us how “no one wants to work”, and how Biden is a socialist radical leftist double secret working for China, which is almost exactly what the mean ex liberals of the pinkhat Thank Obama left have spent the past ten years repeating about how Trump was double secret working for those tricky Russians! Of course, everybody on the Real Left easily recognizes both of these corrupt political parties are in the pockets of evil despot billionaires who were giving brazen Ted talks ten minutes ago about how they want to actively depopulate the planet, usher in a cashless society and chip people’s brains, but that sounds like nutty X Files shit to people who aint paying attention and just wanna Let You Know they are current with the Latest Thang.
I did manage to make it outdoors for about a half an hour and managed to read Beb’s chapter about Johnny Thunders and let me tell ya. it was absolutely a total heartbreaker! The Ric Ocasek chapter is even sadder! All my heroes are dead or incarcerated in Belmarsh. My kid got some hot sauces in the mail, so I hope he’ll let me sample some with my meal tonight! Sunset in the desert is supernatural. I take pictures of it most everynight. We call it the pink light. The Bebe book really BLASTS OFF, for me, at least, with the Stiv Bators and David Bowie chapters, she shares my appreciation for Prince and Tom Petty, I’m not gonna devulge anymore juicy details here, cause I love what Hozac Books and the descrptive Miss Buell have accomplished here with her new book. I urge you to get a copy if you love all the same kinda music and fashion and subversive underground rebels subcultures we antisocial glamarchists celebrate here among the Out Crowd.

“Next Reminder is that the war really started in 2014 after the US aided coup of Ukraine’s democratically elected Gov’t. Zelensky fired his Commander of Joint Forces and our media didn’t portray it as the end of world for the Ukrainian military like they did when Putin changed commanders
I wonder why? Just kidding. I know why. I grew up in the Projects in Queens, NY and there were only 2 white families there I didn’t know much about the world or history or racism at the time, but even then I knew it wasn’t a coincidence that we were all Black and that something happened to make that a reality. While your wondering about the Uyghurs our Gov’t want us to focus on in China, give a thought to how so many Black people wind up in prison in America. I don’t want Russians or Ukrainians to die because the US doesn’t want to lose control of the world, and I despise Zelensky for betraying his country because he didn’t have the courage to stand up to the US or the Nazis who forced him to abandon what he ran on. It wasn’t that hard for the people with all the capital to convince the rest of us that capitalism is the best system that ever existed. Our media shows us all kind of atrocities that they say are occuring around the world so much that we seem to forget that almost all that stuff is happening here. I try to be straight forward
I’ve been around for close to 60 years, spent a few of them in our military, and all of them Black. I know what my country has done to the rest of the world and even us here in America. We should be ashamed of what we let the owners get away with. McCarthyism was a chapter embarrassing to America.
Obama telling Romney “80’s called and want their foreign policy back” should have been the final nail in the coffin. But Dems lost to Trump and teamed up with neocons to bring it back as an excuse for their failure.
Here we are. America
Do you want to know the truth or get played like the Iraq War again? Biden is the same person who admitted during the Primary that he knew Iraq didn’t have WMD’s, but he was still the Dem pressuring the Party to support that war.
Our country invaded another based on a lie and killed a million people.
Stop the act, the world knows who we really are. ” (-Black In The Empire)

“The western left is absolute dogshit on war and empire. Pure fucking dogshit. Those who don’t outright cheer for imperial militarism ignore it altogether, or don’t place nearly enough emphasis on it. Those placing an appropriate amount of emphasis on it are a small minority. And of course that’s not their fault; they’re swimming in the same ocean of empire propaganda and psyops as everyone else. But as we’re accelerating toward a global conflict of unfathomable horror this dereliction of duty is getting less and less acceptable. This needs to change. Sure there are other problems we’ve got to worry about, but none of those other problems are going to matter when we’re all dying in a nuclear holocaust. There’s no excuse for anyone who thinks of themselves as anti-imperialist to fail to stand against the empire’s brinkmanship. The US empire is rapidly ramping up aggressions against Russia and China simultaneously and in many sectors of the American left this is getting less attention than the fucking presidential election that’s almost two years away. This isn’t healthy, and it isn’t acceptable.” (-Caitlin Johnstone)

MIGHT RAIN
Breaks my heart when my old lady is sick, she’s the best person I’ve ever known and it kills me when I can not comfort her or protect her. Up early with kid who is aiming Nerf guns at me and requiring my assistance making lists of future fireworks he hopes to buy from the big town. Can’t tell if it’s gonna rain or not, oftentimes the sky will turn dark gray but it’ll pass, we got more garden seeds in the mail but I’m waiting a bit to plant them. We need some potting soil, and really I need a wheel barrow at this point. Out here in the nowhere lands, I keep running into all these closet fucking racists, bootlick copsuckers, it’s a real drag, man. Everytime I fuck with people, I sorta regret it. I feel like I’m back in Kinticky, ya know what I mean? I got a song about it called “Southern Gentleman”. I got a lot of alone time nowadays which, ya know everybody needs some, I use it to write, but too many hours by yourself and you can start to wanna talk to somebody. I end up digging through my old storage containers looking for my former friend’s phone numbers, but mostly, they’re all dead, or too invested in tv, ratrace, holier than thou, got-mine, shitlib, pro war culture to wanna fraternize with outta style dirty poors. Made friends with the crows. Saw Sinead O’Connor in my dream. Almost noon, kid’s been up all night, still wide awake plotting excessive vacations.

MONKEES & SKYNARD
So my good friends know my first concert was Dr. Hook opening for Shaun Cassidy at the Rupp Arena in Lexington. Shaun was on a tv show called “The Hardy Boys” and I was really into his songs, “Hey Deanie” and “That’s Rocknroll”. I also liked Andy Gibb, Leif Garrett, Sha Na Na, the Grease soundtrack and everything Elvis related. My aunt’s stoner boyfriend Ben got me into the Pretenders.
My pot smoking 70’s feminist aunt gave me my first two or three records, ya know? Monkees, More of the Monkees and Lynyrd Skyyard (Pronounced ‘Lĕh-‘nérd ‘Skin-‘nérd). I used to stare at those Skynyrd dudes on the cover of their first album and think to myself, “someday I’ll have a gang of wild hippie rebels”. Sadly, it never quite came true, most of my hombres were “just visiting” cultural tourists and people who only had hippie values once a year at the bourgeoise cos-play drug festival in the woods. They only loved me in their dirty barefoot, unshaven, slumming phase.
I was probably more into Skynyrd’s look then their actual music, though later in life, I came to love summa the bands they influenced from Tom Petty to Lone Justice to 38 Special to Junkyard, and one of my life’s best friends was a very, very, very charismatic bar brawlin’, pot smokin’, whiskey sippin’, hoarse/horse laughin’ big beautiful hillbilly bon vivant named Tap who used to be the main solderer at the stained glass studio I worked at in my late teens. He was like all the Dukes Of Hazzard and Merry Pranksters rolled into one, “YEEEEHAW!” There was never question of whether he was on the bus or off the bus, he came to party. He lived in a trailer with his girlfriend, Judy Jo, and they would have me over to booze it up at their trailer bar while we listened to corny, overplayed classic rock radio and I’d do mean spirited Rich Little impersonations of our employers and friend’s parents and they would laugh their asses off. The other think that was exceptionally cool about that dude who was always being dragged off in handcuffs for failure to pay chuld support or fighting at the bar again, is how in spite of his own very conventional mustache, parted in the middle hair, wife beater and blue jeans uniform, he never fucking batted at an eye no matter how many needless extra layers of costume jewelry and feathers and sequins and way too much clown makeup I wore to work back then, it did not phase him one bit. I think our gay yuppie bosses would be more inclined to voice objections to summa my over the top Pete Burns inspired costumes back then. He was a longtime big brother figure of mine and I’m sorry as hell he’s gone, so he’s who I am really mourning upon reading the Gary Rossington obits, cause Tap loved Lynyrd Skynyrd and outlaw country and “Let It Bleed” and Keith Richards “Main Offender” and really any music really that was about, “sorry, darlin’ but I gots to be movin’ on down the highway…” (RIP)

“To all the delusional USA bots out there, let me remind you (or inform you) that there is no reason to believe that any potentially viable candidates in the next election will govern in a democratic fashion–i.e., in a way that benefits the majority of the population.” (-Aaron Good)
“Bernie Sanders, promoting his book in the UK, is asked by the BBC about Ukraine policy: “It’s not an issue that I’ve been heavily involved in, but I support what the president is doing” A year in, still no significant thoughts on the issue, other than Support For The President.” (-Michael Tracey)
“The two key reasons we know Sirhan didn’t kill RFK:
1. No bullet from RFK could be matched to Sirhan’s gun. 2. Witnesses put Sirhan in front of RFK when he was shot from behind. Would have had a chest wound from the front if Sirhan had been firing bullets.” (-Lisa Pease)
The thing about to keep in mind about boomer nostalgia for the reporting of Sy Hersh and Woodward and Bernstein is that Watergate and its aftershocks were episodes in a US Establishment/deep state civil war whose outcome was the “Reagan Revolution”…With the Rummy/Cheney “Halloween Massacre” coup, Nelson Rockefeller was dropped from the 76 ticket and other more right-wing figures were appointed (e.g. Bush replacing Colby at DCI). The corporate liberal Rockefeller Republicans basically took over the Democrat Party. The next Dem president was Carter, handpicked by David Rockefeller and Zbig Brzezinski. Later, Rockefeller soured on Carter and helped with the October Surprise plot to sink his reelection. Reagan won the next presidential election–and basically every election thereafter.” (-Aaron Good)

SLOW TOWN
Man, I’m gonna give you an example of how slow life is in my dead end desert ghost town. I wake up about five with all the wildlife outside, you hear the coyotes, roosters, birds and cows start carrying on about that time. By nine, it’s Sunday, and my family have a cold and they did not go to bed til late, so I knew I had about ten hours of free time, so I emailed an hombre, like, what’s sup? He gets back and says hey ya wanna hang out for awhile, I can spin by and pick you up. I’m amenable to that idea cause I don’t get a lotta freetime or adult talk these days and where I live is like two and a half miles from the nearest gas station or grocery store and no one will properly fence or leash their animals out here, so it’s dangerous, there’s always internet chat about loose dogs or dog bites elderly woman. So I prefer to not attempt the long trek into town on foot. Even with a trail stick, it’s perilous and even the dogs that are behind fences are always frying your nerves with their ferocious snarling, one poor animal is tied by a rope to a tree, no collar, just twine, people are rough on animals out here, mostly they are seen as food or weapons which is the opposite of Oregon where they are seen as like objects or fowrship, nearly deified. Okay so I go outside and wait for dude. Half hour rolls by, I try to call him, but the phone is dead, I go back inside to email him, but the electricity is out. In the Gates- Reset Post Covid Normal, whatever they call it, the electricity’s just out all the time, cause The Man just gets to fuckw ith you, charges whatever they want but when it ain’t on, fuck you. So I sit outside and read my “Addicted To Noise” book by Michael godberg, another forty minutes goes by and I start fucking around in the yard, getting my garden beds ready. I got about five rows of vegetables planted and seeds coming in the mail tomorrow, so ya know, I kinda just fuss over the seedlings now. By the third hour I figures dude’s just blown me off and that’s a drag cause I mighta made a different plan had he not offered to fetch me in his vehicle. So when the computer comes back on, he emails me back finally, saying his dog wanted to go on a walk, then he needed a nap, then he wanted to be petted, and now it was almost time for another dogwalk. So yeah that is the culture here. I’m three hours in with this guy and he’s petting his dog. That particular friend is in his thirties. Most of the population here seem to be in their seventies, so they tend to move much slower than my dude. My fam did not wake up until three so I just sat by myself all day and that’s alrite, I got a lot of birds that keep me company, but yeah tomorrow is another day where everything will be closed cause everything stays closed here on Sunday and Monday, family’s too sick for school, I won’t be planting anymore seeds cause the mail don’t come til four usually, I have been working on several batches on new lyrics, but my standards have changed, like why bother if it’s not excellent? Or at least, Inspired-Dumb? So now I’m sitting here typing, cat’s in the window, birds are still chirping, owls are hooting, wind chimes in the tree, all very nice but it is like time stands still, 5:35, been up for like 12 hours. Probably would have liked say a forty ounce had I known I was gonna be by myself all day. I like to drink a forty ounce, listen to old music. I only eat once a day, at six, so at least that is something reachable I can look forward to. Everybody that Goldberg writes about interests me. I particulatly like Ramblin Jack Elliot, who kinda reminds me of my dead train hopping anarchist street musician friend and former drinking buddy and wouldbe/part time bandmate, Mark B. Been exploring Ramblin’ Jack songs on the youtubes. Kinda miss record stores.
Woke up next day resumed typing at 3:34, had dreams about floods, headlines say Kentucky, the place of my birth, is without electricity, the people who control the grid don’t want us having generators, or effective for self sufficiencey, age old agriculture know how, or real seeds, cause they want to be able to control us all with a fear program and a flip of the switch. They really do seem like deranged sociopathic warpig movie villains. Their do nothing fraud squad tv puppets do not even stand up for Julian Assange and freedom of the press, all they have ever done is moan some more about Trump. Where would any rightwing superpac corporate owned shitlib celebrity be without Trump? Guys like Biden and Bloomberg are every bit as racist, sexist, gropey, and police state booyah as Trump, but pinkhat shitlibs shrug, cause they/them put a Big D behind their names. Think about it. Was hangin’ out with a local pal and was appalled when he started kinda tellin’ me how the answer to everything is Vote Republikkan and how George Soros funds Antifa and blah blah blah. I tried to explain to him that every people’s movement is infiltrated by Conitelpro forces and funneled back into the left versus right old paradigm, but he thinks we need more law and order and I just can’t vibe with him at this point. Law and order just means they don’t like poor people. They never talk about the real criminals who are fucking shit up-Bezos, Gates, Vanguard, Blackrock, Lockheed Martin, Pfizer, Bayer/Monsanto, Raytheon. I know they’ll probably just kille Robert F. Kennedy Jr. if he runs for president, but he is the only one who can tell the truth and still get on tv, sometimes. I miss Mike Gravel. And Glen Ford. God bless Daniel Ellsberg, Ralph Nader, and Dennis Kucinich…that pro war, fake new age chick can fuck right off.

“As part of the project to expand NATO, and partly as revenge for the beginning of Russia’s Syria counter-McJihad operations, the US launched the Maidan coup. But Russia recognized what was afoot and arranged for the secession of Crimea from the Maidan junta regime. The US provoked Russia and made sure that Ukraine would not stop threatening Russia’s security red lines, ultimately provoking a limited Russian invasion that seems to have been designed more to bring Kiev to the negotiating table than to topple the puppet government. The US seemed surprised that Russia did not go all out like the US in the Iraq War. And they seem to have believed that the sanctions would harm Russia. But it seems the most damage has been inflicted on US allies and on the stability of the US imperial capitalist system.”(-Aaron Good)

Rachel Stamp unveil new video “Brand New Toy”
Brit glam legends RACHEL STAMP have unveiled a ‘new’ video ahead of the reissue of their classic debut album.
‘Brand New Toy’ is taken from Hymns For Strange Children, originally released in the year 2000, and now set to see the light of day on vinyl for the first time ever through Easy Action Records.
“‘Brand New Toy’ is the archetypal Rachel Stamp rocker,” states singer/bassist David Ryder Prangley. “Part of the riff is a tri-tone, aka the ‘Devil’s interval’ which, back in medieval days, was said to drive whoever heard it crazy. I kind of stole the song title from the name of a friend’s band and the lyrics are pretty regular Stamp fare for the time – sex, insanity and Jesus Christ. The video is a new mash up of various live footage taken around 1998-2000. The gigs were always a riot, as you can see…”
Fully remastered, Hymns For Strange Children is set for release on 14 April and is available to pre-order on limited edition 12″ vinyl and expanded CD now.
The band have lined up a special album launch show on the release date at the O2 Islington Academy, London. Tickets are on sale here.

It’s one War Party with two wings.” (-Danny Haiphong)

There happens to be a totally organic populist revolution happening on whichever side of the aisle you’re on!” (-Caitlin Johnstone)
“There are two sets of principles. They are the principles of power and privilege and the principles of truth and justice.

They worship money and power” (-Chris Hedges)

“The corporations that profit from permanent war need us to be afraid. Fear stops us from objecting to government spending on a bloated military. Fear means we will not ask unpleasant questions of those in power. Fear permits the government to operate in secret. Fear means we are willing to give up our rights and liberties for promises of security. The imposition of fear ensures that the corporations that wrecked the country cannot be challenged. Fear keeps us penned in like livestock.” (-Chris Hedges)

GLORIOUS RETURN OF THE GOLDEN RAT
Man, my electricity went out when I was typing this, so I gotta try and remember what I said the first time cause not all of it saved. All the glitter kids are super stoked about the latest fab collab between the legendary Hiroshi Nakagome, “The Johnny Thunders Of Japan” and the World Famous Mister Ratboy best known for his work with MOTORCYCLE BOY, Hollywood’s coolest band who were “Kicked Out Of Hollywood” for hating the Sunset Strip, and the sexier, darker, more brooding and Velvet Underground influenced PILLBOX that beat from the heart of Alphabet CIty. Ratboy also released a series of memorable records with his more eccelctic group, SOUR JAZZ and an excellent solo album before relocating to Japan. Chris Barry the very charming Pillbox frontman returned to Canada and created an outstanding record called “Let It Throb” with his band, Throbbing Purple, I think Lou paris moved back to Cleveland, and Francois still knocks around on the Sunset Strip in his swanky leopard print and probably still has the best hair in L.A.

“We’ve bought into the idea that education is about training and “success,” defined monetarily, rather than learning to think critically and challenge. We should not forget that the true purpose of education is to make minds, not careers. A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, which fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death.” (-Chris Hedges)
I DON’T SPEAK COMMERCIALS
Man I ended up talking with a boomer I know who reads those corporate celebrity magazines, so she’s telling me like, how popular and with it Kamala “KKKOP” Harris and (Neo)Kanye “Batshit” West are with the young people of the streets, and I’m kinda just like half smiling, trying to imagine where and what young people might even remotely care about either of them, at all. At all. Like, “who”? This is just media juggernaut celebrity magazine fiction. I mean, Ye had those ridiculous $500 cream colored shoes all the white people coffeetable magazines promoted some years back, and I know he married that idle heiress with all the elective surgeries and seems to have been driven bonkers by that family and whatever kook cult they belong to, but young people are probably all into some new shit me and that boomer have never heard of. She still thinks of Amy Pohler and Whoopi Goldberg as edgy, radical comediennes. She thinks “Hamilton” is woke hip-hop. I’m not sure there’s even such a thing, ya know. I’m so old now I can still remember when “woke” meant being conscious of the lies, falsehoods, fabrications and phony fictions the empire manufactured to hustle up support for their endless Dick Cheney proxy wars agenda, and the divide the working class and mass incarcerate people of color for capitalist shareholder profits. Woke meant you did not fall for patriotic, racist whitewash, history revisionism, or stupid advertising slogans, or bullshit copaganda, or believe in the corporate media bullshit of the day, or subscribe to all those long debunked archaic cold war divide n conquer narratives, or follow along with any of the evil empire’s oppressor nonsense, now, the fake as fuck corporate media keeps trying to convince these boomers and some Gen X role playing nerds that woke means endless wars and kill the poor, but maybe with a Buddha statue at your rainbow flagged airbandb and a “TRUST THE SCIENCE” sticker and a Ukraine flag on your BLM Tesla, with maybe a cameo appearance from Bob The Drag Queen. I instantly loved Bob the Drag Queen way back in the day, but the capitalist war machine is still the capitalist war machine, with or without some feelgood bumper stickers, or zaney but lovable cynically cast backup dancers. It’s a dead dull Saturday in a nowhere dead end place, and my family is sick and I’m taking heavy doses of Vitamin C trying to not catch whatever they have, but it might be unavoidable. I’m restless and pissedoff and just hate sitting around. Worked on the garden, expecting some seeds in the mail today or Monday. Bitchy. Wanna Rock. Nowhere Calling to the Faraway Clowns. Oh yeah, that same boomer also wanted to tell me about some Republikkkan that got caught lying (GASP!) but somehow they never heard about any of Gropey Joe’s FIFTY YEAR LONG MADCAP WELL DOCUMENTED, EASILY PROVEN, INDISPUTABLE, ENTIRE CAREER OF LIES. Woke means never trusting the bullshittery on tv.
I was saying Donald Trump sucked, all the way back in the eighties, where’s my donut? Ya know what I mean? All the fraudsquad superstars and Lyn Cheney were required to do was say “ORANGE MAN BAD” and they all got to be overnight shitlib celebrities. What the fuck is that? I gotta say it on Twitter or something? “ORANGE MAN BAD”. There I said it again, now I shouldn’t I be receiving like some kinda special credit card approval in the mail, or job offers in the supposedly popular media, or some kinda discount buffet at the tiki lounge or somethin’? Drink tickets at the Tuesday night gentrification bar? Free hats from the expensive boutique? That’s all the shitlib superstars of the fradsquad and Lyn Cheney the torture and fracking lady have done, some empty, meaningless justice tweeting about “ORANGE MAN BAD”. Most of that was just to make new laws against public protest, to criminalize anyone who contests the fix is in election results, and superfund the racist gestapo cops even after four long years of protests against superfunding racist gestapo cops. Some representation we got, huh? I guess redundant disappointment AOC has started tweeting “IRAN ALSO BAD”. I’ll always remember her crocodile tears over CHILDREN IN CAGES while Trump was in office. Once Biden was in, they put some peppy wall paper on the walls, did a photo op with border kids reading Elmo or some shit and changed the name of the CHILD CAGES to “overflow facilities”, quadrupled the population there, and AOC never mentioned it again. Even when Obama or Biden actually out incarcerate their Republikkkan pals, rightwing media still screams about all the immigrants coming here for our good jobs and healthcare benefits. Does any of this make any sense at all? Good jobs with healthcare benefits? I guess they just mean AOC and her anti protest, pro censorship friends. Politics are fake. All these awful greedy awful people hate the poor. One of my friend’s wives who sadly, tragically, unexpectedly died was a real genius level super extraordinary talented artist, she was sucha brilliantly gifted artist that excessively rich honcho hipsters would even pay her big bucks to paint campy pop art for their ridiculous showoff mansions. Her mom and aunt were old school women’s rights activists who wanted to see a female president in their lifetime, but even she had to admit that this cold war witch, Hillary Clinton, cashing big checks from the bonesawing despot Saudi pharoahs for her so-called foundation, rigging the primaries against Sanders, smearing him as sexist, and the blaming “RUSSIA!” for the next however many years when she lost the election unexpectedly to Trump, and promoting fracking which fucks up all the water supply everywhere, and cackling like an unhinged lunatic over her delight in killing Gaddafi for her central banking friends was terrifyingly outta the realm of acceptablility, no matter what body she has, or what pro nouns make her feel most seen. The ruling class hate our guts and are never, never going to advocate for us, or protect us, or do our will. They work for billionaires, Gropey Joe even said that straightup to a worker in Michigan which is why nobody on the real left believes he won on Super Tuesday without some Mayo Pete affiliated software goosing, aside from the fact that he had no base and never campaigned except with his wife while wearing a mask from his basement, the one time he did hit the campaign trail he bellowed at a union man who challenged his Corn Pop nonsense: “I don’t work for you!”

“One of America’s most vocal and steadfast advocates for supporting Joe Biden’s war policies in Ukraine. He voted to send $40 billion to Raytheon and CIA “for Ukraine,” and when asked if the US should send F-16 *fighter jets*, he seems not just ready but eager to send much more” (-Glenn Greenwald on sadly soldout pro war Sanders)
“We are living in the most expensive and dangerous timeline and Dems just keep telling you deal with it. They don’t even answer questions anymore, you’re just smeared as “pro Russia.” What a sick bunch. What are we doing?” (-Thia Ballerina)
““China, China, China.” “Russia, Russia, Russia.” Anything to distract us from the fact that our greatest enemy is our own government.

“Poor people, especially those of color, are worth nothing to corporations and private contractors if they are on the street. In jail and prisons, however, they can each generate corporate revenues of $30,000 to $40,000 a year” (-Chris Hedges)
“Once you know someone is a compulsive liar, you’re not going to fall for their lies anymore. That’s how manipulation works: it’s only effective when you don’t know it’s happening. So our job is to wake people up to the fact that it is happening, and how precisely it is happening. Journalism will never have any meaningful impact on society as long as those in power can manipulate how that journalism is received by the public. This means that the real fight is in crippling their ability to do this by expanding public awareness of those manipulations. Investigative journalists do good and important work, but they’re only a small piece of the equation when it comes to circulating information and waking up the public to effect meaningful societal changes. The bigger part of the fight is in fighting the propaganda machine. The fight is no longer just getting information out there, it’s now also about making sure people see it and understand it correctly. There’s already enough publicly available information out there to incite revolution; only reason it doesn’t is because of imperial spinmeisters. The silver lining in this cloud is that fighting the imperial propaganda machine is something all ordinary people can do in their spare time. We can all circulate inconvenient facts, debunk and discredit the imperial spin machine, and help further degrade public trust in the MSM.” (-Caitlin Johnstone)

“Dear Fellow Americans Our Gov’t lied us into the Iraq War and killed a million people, they just lied to us for 20 years about what was really happening in Afghanistan If you let them make you believe Putin went into Ukraine for no reason and Ukraine is winning you’re just dumb.
No matter what political label Americans gives themselves it appears that almost all of us still believe in American Exceptionalism.
Many Americans had and some still have WWII vets in their families Do they know that our Gov’t is now arming Nazis instead of fighting them?
The reason why the U.S. and NATO have been unable to destroy Russia with sanctions like they thought is because almost the entire Global South knows that the West are the liars and remembers what the West has done to their countries.
The U.S. couldn’t beat the Taliban, NATO can’t beat Russia so the next logical step is to try to start a war with China.
Agree with Russia going into Ukraine or not, Putin and Russia are the ones telling the truth about why the war started and the U.S. and the West are playing us for suckers again.
Americans don’t care about invasions when the US is doing the invading.
It is the U.S. and NATO that has totally failed in what they promised.
They didn’t turn the ruble to rubble, they haven’t forced Russia out of Ukraine, taken back Crimea, forced out Putin, isolated Russia, or sent Russia back to the Stone Age. But they took $100 billion from us. When the U.S. and Europe says the world is with them, it’s because they truly believe that they are all that matters and what the other 85% of people in other countries think doesn’t really mean anything.” (-Black In The Empire)
“Political parties are a problem. A voter could agree with a policy and still vote against the candidate promoting the policy because they’re not in the same party as them. Parties keep us divided. As a result, we don’t focus on the elites using all of us.” (-Sabby Sabs)
“Every time Joe brag tweets about his booming economy he’s erasing ppl that are struggling, suffering, hungry, homeless, poor, without medicine, hurting and living paycheck to paycheck. I’m sorry, but he doesn’t give 1 solitary fk about you and it shows.” (-Thia Ballerina)

FIX FLINT, FUCKERS!
Man I had some mediocre dreams last night concerning old shit from the high school years, drumkits and arguing with people about recording costs. Stuck in the past. Woke up and checked my old mostly obsolete email cause I’d received some unexpected correspondance from distant quarters there and man the propaganada machine bullshit is RELENTLESS. Somehow during my misguided Bernie daze, when I wrongly thought he had the character, backbone, and integrity to stand up and fight the corrupt DNC and Hillary Clinton and the Military-Surveillance-Pharamaceutical-Media-Incarceration Monopolies, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Pfizer and Blackrock, I got on these bullshit DNC, gullible shitlib echo chamber mailing lists, so now I am being flooded with all this STAND WITH IRAN WOMEN and LGBT RIGHTS IN IRAN spam, deceptively manufacturing consent for war. Crassly manipulative wag the dog war piggery. Everytime the empire wants to target another country for um, “Liberation”, they start with the feminist angle, trot out AOC to demand the bombs be deployed on some foreign culture the deep state has determined is not woke and sensitive enough. They did the same shit with Afghanistan, then Syria. Destroyed Libya and laughed about it. If you think women and gay people have more freedom and better quality of lives after USA, USA goes in and flattens all their buildings and infrastructure and rough men come to town with big guns and kick everybody’s door down and shoot the males and do what they do in war to the women and children they are invading, you are an imperialist, white superemacist, or naieve. Women and gay people are not better off in Afganistan or Libya, just because their male family members have been slaughted and tortured and some rich ladies in Amurkkka got more billions donated to their “foundations”. Haiti does not want or need no white women who work for Raytheon and Lockheed Martin overthrowing their governments or helping to steal their natural resources for Davos billionaire profits. I see how they do it though-they whip up the identity politics Nato left, make them think it’s all for the kittens and the oppressed. If the empire could never be bothered to fix fucking FLINT MICHIGAN, how the fuck do you college people imagine they give a rat’s ass about “women’s rights” in Afghanistan? The fraud squad warpigs make me sick. What fakes, what liars, how can they sleep at night? Like babies, rolling in the money, I guess. Those grossout ladies on “The View” really have dumbed the KKKaryns down,.
Rainbow flags on tanks killin’ more poor brown people for oil is not okey dokey, or wokey wokey. Fix Flint. And if you don’t care about the poor people of East Palestine being poisoned by your big media programming mushroom cloud Blackrock buddies just you know cidentally becuse they supposedly just had no choice but to burn all those toxic chemicals there in the farmlands,where they wanna mine for Cobalt, while Bill Gates buys up all the remaining farmland everywhere, stop pretending you love marginalized peoples in foreign countries you know nothing about Sal the Agorist on Twitter: “https://t.co/KhfSj4mlOO” / Twitter

FROM PALESTINE TO EAST PALESTINE THE RICH ARE WAGING WARS ON THE POOR
You know I understand people are punished 24/7 with fear programming and fabricated bullshit hysteria about the boogeymen coming to steal their special privileges or whatever, which is the main reason the consumerist hypnospell see no evil motherfuckers just dutifully repeat what the spin doctor tv millionaires say until doomsday, which is here for a lot of us, but man, I will never really get the whole sham about how all the goosestepin’ gotmines still believe that talking about Obama and Beyonce all day makes them NOT RACISTtm, ESPECIALLY while they steadfastly ignore all the white supremacist wars of aggression, the mass incarceration of black people, and kkkops killing about six people a day in this country, the majority of them people of color, but somehow the tv still convinces them that applauding the soldout fraudsquad or Cailtin Jenner some more somehow means they aren’t absolutely batshit complicit with the HONKY DEATH MACHINE, that’s just slapped some feelgood bumper stickers on the back of their tanks. “COEXIST”, my ass. You mean coexist with other rich white people, mostly. And maybe some token models. A few. “I feel so seen”, the shitlibs all say. What about all the poor people whose lives are being destroyed by your bullshit diversity idol’s donor class bosses and forever prez?

“The media propagates a message that corporations want, and there’s a belittling and mocking of the poor and celebration of wealth.

These are sick values, but they’re disseminated through corporate media in almost every program you watch.” (-Chris Hedges)
