“Marianne Williamson and Joe Biden have the same foreign policy. It’s the same politics, just in a different wrapper: Imperialism for blue collar Boomers and imperialism for hipster Millennials. RFK at least has a fundamentally different perspective on US empire, the WEF, etc.” (-Primo Radical)

“We are in the Upside Down.” (-Dr. Drew)

“It’s incredible how easily Americans are propagandized. If their TV tells them “this is your enemy” – most of them believe it.” (-Empire Of Lies)

“How can the US talk about Russia criminalizing journalism while it continues to pursue Julian Assange?” (-Medea Benjamin)

“Why are the most vocal, liberal gun control advocates also some of the most vocal supporters of war in Ukraine?” (-Ajamu Baraka)

“Its Saddam WMD time with China. A steady drum beat of Anti-China propaganda… it’s hard to believe that Americans are stupid enough to believe it again…” (-Garland Nixon)

“Believe our propaganda numbers not your lived experience. The economy is strong! Joe Biden is competent! Dianne Feinstein is competent! Joe Manchin is a decent human being!” (-Redbox rage Against The War)

“You won’t believe this but Bellingcat never got around to doing any coverage of the actual documents, and instead focused their super journalism skills on tracking down the leaker for the FBIWho gives a flying fuck if the leaker shared “racist memes” on Discord? He could be a KKK jihadist Branch Davidian and the documents would still be real. The government would still be engaged in systematic deceit about critical foreign policy issues. God this is so pathetic. They’re blurring out the documents on CNN and the New York Times! Just too dangerous. Your eyes will melt, and then you’ll start speaking in Russian. Through some sort of dark-arts trickery, a large number of people have genuinely convinced themselves that affirming devotion to “America” is synonymous with affirming devotion to the inviolable sanctity of the federal government’s classification regime. So impressively stupid. What matters is that you’re a Drama Queen crying “treason” because you stumbled into some dumb ideology where you’re professing devotion to the federal government’s classification regime. It’s fundamentally stupid to think of any nation-state as your personal “adversary,” like Spiderman’s adversary was Doctor Octopus. It’s just stupid jargon that anthropomorphizes a faraway, abstract entity for you to hate.” (-Michael Tracey) …..more psy ops manufacturing consent ffor more censorship and usual demonization of all whistle blowers.

“Both Parties are far more interested in waging wars, enriching themselves and maintaining US hegemony than improving the lives of American citizens.

Stop listening to what comes out of their mouths, and pay attention to what they’re spending our money on.. If you turn on that TV and think that somebody like Anthony Blinken is telling you the truth about what’s happening in the world, I don’t know of a nice way to tell you how gullible you are.

This is not just because Dems are in charge of lying now, they’re all psychopaths. I stopped this “Lesser of 2 Evils” voting strategy a long time ago, because it just guarantees that the Establishment gets to make sure one of their candidates wins.

What pissed me off the last election for my community is that they had no idea that Biden was the greater evil. We just found out that our Gov’t is lying to us about this war too, and nobody even cares. Jack Texeira will go down in History as ‘The Leaker’

Officials like Blinken, Austin, Sullivan and their corrupt crew who the leaks showed were lying to us again, will continue lying about this war and many more to come with no consequences. We have been introduced to another episode of ‘The Leaker and the Liars’ and our Gov’t once again played the role of the Liars, but only the Leaker will face any punishment. What a shock! China built stuff, and the United States bombed stuff

I wonder why the world chose China. What I’ll call the non-Western world knows exactly why this war started, what America’s role was in provoking it, remembers what the US Gov’t has done to their countries and knows our owners don’t give a damn about freedom and democracy.

That’s why Russia will never be isolated.

Ukraine the country described by the world as the most corrupt in Europe, before the war (Of course now they are all angels preparing for sainthood) has Zelensky and his merry band of criminals being accused of stealing $400 million

I’m surprised it’s not more. Our Gov’t and media will succeed in making this story all about the leaker, Americans will totally ignore the fact that these same people in power got caught lying to us again, and this war that they all know Ukraine can’t win will continue.. China went around the world making deals and the United States went around the world making threats.” (-Black In The Empire)

“It’s pure madness that anyone could claim, with a straight face, that the country with the most prisoners and the most homeless people is “the freest, most prosperous nation in the history of the world. Neoliberalism is an inherently nihilistic system.

That is the root cause of the madness that we are experiencing right now — politically, culturally, in our work lives, which impact our personal lives.

Why are so many people depressed & “crazy”? Washington, Wall St & Hollywood.” (-Primo Radical)

HARD WAY

Some more on John Waite’s documentary: even though I aint got his sparrow like vocal reach, ya know I got the feeling and when he talks about trusting your own best instincts as an artist and not listening to know it all saboteurs and the importance of not compromising for the sake of pleasing the machine, or not signing away all your rights and not letting predators fuck around while you’re the one paying out of pocket in the studio, I know what he’s talking about-in the car with my family, Alice Cooper was saying the same shit-how you do two takes and keep the one with the most feeling or mix them together-years ago I foolishly got involved with people who thought you make records by photo shopping out any flaws, but for me and my kind, people who share my faith in heart and soul over money and access, we understand the beauty is in the flaw. The flaw is the beauty, crack where the light gets in. Flawed Is Beautiful. Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Rowland S. Howard could not sing like Adam Lambert, but I don’t care to listen to Adam Lambert, ya get what I’m sayin’? When Westerberg thought he needed to surround himself with paid companion studio hack perfectionists, he never brought forth anything with the crackling glory of Bob Stinson era Replacements, crackpipes and empty bottles and bald man in flowered dresses before Cobain, you know that was the most beautiful and soulful and vulnerable and courageous shit that ever happened. Music aint sports, it’s not like ice skating or  gymanstics at the Olympics. Love & Rockets once sang, “I wanna hear a song that makes me believe in something. I’m not convinced anybody was ever better than Peter Laughner aside from maybe Jim Carroll who mighta had a better band. Anyways, these are the kinda artists I like-the ones with heart. Nothing less. Elton John says the Stones shoulda kicked Keith Richards out cause Elton understands hitting the proper high note and selling the proper number of units and shit like that, I mighta liked maybe three old Elton songs mostly cause he had a real great lyricist in Bernie Taupin, I liked some of his words, but you know, if you’re anything like me, you know that Keith Richards & Tom Waits song, “That Feel”. People who got it and people who don’t. Keith has that feel. In ways that radio friendly, royalty asskissing, mansion remodeling, industry weasel, Disney soundtrack warblers will never understand. Same with Bob Stinson, Peter Laughner, John Waite, they all got that feel, that’s how they do what they do. They are all feeling. John Waite is All Feeling Plus Plus Plus. same as Sinead, and Chrissie Hynde, but they are the rarest of all birds. John Waite even had Johnny Thunders play on one of his records cause he gets it. Toto might hit all the right notes but I don’t listen to Toto. I listen to the old Replacements.

I TRIED LISTENING TO THE RADIO

Ya know whoever programs classic rawk radio stations should be ashamed, always the same overplayed shit by Journey and now fucking also Nirvana, we’ve all heard those same twenty songs by the same ten bands enough. They could at least play some different fucking ZZ Top song. Nope, just the same one everytime. Like punishment. Alice Cooper has a night time show where he riffs on all the times he met the Beatles or Keith Moon or Jim Morrison or how Jimi’s best stuff was usually the first take with the flats and sharps and feeling and emotion, vbut even his show is obviously not lovingly selected by Cooper cause I just don’t believe that guy’s a fucking yes fan. man I always thought yes sucked. And Rush. I can’t listen to that stuff. They might play one Van halen, Def leppard or Billy idol song an hour but even that’s just the overplayed hit. I used to have friends in radio, but just like with every other corrupted and weaponized cultural institution in the Divided Slaves Of Amnesia, you get promoted for sucking, by lying, if you go with the flow, it’s through dumbfuck obedience and conformity that they rise to the corner office, not by any spontaneous deep track record playing, or being fyunny, actually awake in this moment alive when all things are possible, aint no motherfuckin’ Dr. Johnny Fevers or Wolfamn Jacks around anymore. Just shit and lies, liars and shit. They all seem to have wives who want to go on vacations or build a new room for the winebox sister’s visit. I’m to the left of Left Of The Dial.

SIN FACTORY

Would you believe these guys came to town but I missed ’em cause i was goin’ through a breakup and shit and just did not wanna be around the trust fund people who ran the shit bar in the grunge years? It’s rare when I can find other people who can even kinda share my appreciation for wild rocknroll cause most of the stuff I like is not anything similar to Bon Jovi or Soundgarden or Foo Fighters or Whoever. Kim Salmon is one of the people who used to make me wanna relocate to Australia where people seemed to like to drink and party and get wild at night, all my favorite artists are from Australia, don’t ask me why, but you know you can just go right down the list-Chrissy Amphlett, Spencer P. Jones, Michael hutchence, Jim Thirwell, Tex Perkins, Nick Cave, Rose Tattoo, etc., etc. Really trying to reconvene a little nowhere basement band like this and nobody really gets it and while I try my little heart out, there’s always somebody across town who can emulate whatever people like us seem to like and put it all on credit, it’s like Mad Libs in Lewis Leathers. I had a golden flyer somebody saved for me from that show but just like everything else, ya know, I touch it and it seems to disappear, or jest get’s somehow hijacked and semi plaigirized by the fat record collector with all the expensive vintage echo machines, they just moan through heavy reverb, got nothing to say besides look at my expensive shit.. Sometimes, it can really get you down. Murkka music scenes are all monopolized by predators and money havers. I always knew I’d fit in way better Down Under. I love rocknroll ya know? The Beasts Of Bourbon, the Surrealists and the Scientists, These Immortal Souls, Spencer P. Jones playing with the Gun Club, Fur Bible….Everybody affiliated with that whole scene, they are all geniuses-it astounds me. I always tell my friends at the hobo jungle bonfire down by the railroad tracks that Rose Tattoo’s what they should play whenever my credits roll. Have a toast with Night Train.

MOURNINGTIME IN THE DESERT

Coffee with the birds, had crazy dreams last night. Did not expect to see you there! Still thinkin’ about Alice fom the Ultras. One of the last artists I thought had a real special vibe all his own, he may have been influenced by Bowie or Rozz, who wasn’t, right, but he was a uniquely distinctive and original starburst that burned twice as bright as any of the others. Made all those say nothing hack, hairdye boxes of the Sunset Strip seem even more mediocre and insufferable, cause he showed us all how it’s done. I thought only Inger and Gio could really even compare. He really was a poetic star. Ehhh, what a crazy world this is. Such a hard fight, just getting by. I got to venture out into the public today and have no desire to do that. Social anxiety, compassion fatigue, hard putting on a false front and having to teract with a mixture of sadly robotic tv commercials and full of shit, got-mine power holding maximum predator class landlord types always spoiling for battle with less powerful people they can leverage the system against. I keep saying how sad it is that here among the Divided Slaves Of Amnesia it is still so senselessly dog eat dog with only the me, first, me-me-me-show, my name in BIGGER LIGHTS merchandising, and vanity branding and stickin’ close to the home team yesman echo chamber gravy train being the only real motivations of the Shit Havers. Rich people really love to put the screws to the poor, that’s all they get off on, cause even non stop Ebay and Amazon and posh catalog antique shopping seems to have lost it’s big buzz for them, so the next stage of entertainment for inheritance spenders after buying property is harming people, punishing the poor, fuckin’ with us just for the hell of it, same reason cops kill black people in parking lots, same reason Israel keeps bombing their neighbors and beating up people in a mosque for having a different religion than themselves-just cause they can,. Eighty percent of the country is barely getting by, just scraping by, having tension and conflict in our homes over how many groceries we are all consuming, ever since they did the contolled demolition of the economy during Covid, and Klaus Scwab sent his puppet Synema in to kill a minimum wage raise that might allow the proles to afford rent. Pharma funded cable tv meassaging made everybody scared and focused exclusively on gender divisions, gender studies conversations has replaced every traditional progressive-leftist-pro-unions-peace-anti censorship-free speech-my body/my rights liberal value, and diverted people from discussing peace or defending human rights or civil liberties, while class war is relentlessly  being waged upon us lower ranking have nots by the secretive billionaire class who college wannabe elites seem to worship, trust and admire, even though the so called leaders and phony represaentatives and pig-media have been wrong about everything for years and never apologized for lying about 9/11, building Number 7, WMD’s, rigged primaries and a big cover story regarding Seth Rich and Micahel Hastings by falsely distracting people with “Russiagate!”, they all lied about Julian Assange, Gaddafi, fracking, poisoned water in Flint, declaring Palestine air, water and soil “Safe” based on no real data, even our once venerated former leftist Saint Chomsky was saying people should be rounded up and concentration camped during covid, he never said sorry about that, not in public anyways. There’s been a lot of excess deaths and just mysterious Died Suddenlys, here in my desert town where all the sevety-something new age ladies are still wearing masks because they hate Trump so much and associate being maskless in the fresh air of spring with being Republikkkan, that’s how batshit the culture war horseshit has gotten. Elderly people are arguing in public about trans-swimmers even though none of them know any trans-people in real life. I call it pig media divide and conquer smoke and mirrors, transpolitation. Big tech in collusion with the government is taking away our free speech, Julian assange is still rotting post stroke in Belmarsh while those red carpet fakes on the Fraud Squad are doing their usual shuck and jive half assed make pelieve prancing around about how they disapprove, but they aint done nothing real or brave about it with all their power in all these years. They just got the polls and know the majority of the country beleieve he should be free so they’re gonna do a performative little schoolplay, but never force their superiors hand. They never take any real action for the people, only for the military contractors and oil boys, big pharama, Blackrock and Bayer/Monsanto. Shitlibs will see the headline grab and believe the Squad really did their best. It’s like Chelle Obama posing with fat kids at the White House organic garden while Obama appointed a Monsanto lobbyist to the head of the FDA. Industry has totally captured the regulatory agencies that were supposed to protect us from those industries, and like seventy five percent of the country still watches corporate media which is all bullshit propaganda, tv keeps everybody in a Right Versus Fake Left culture war hypnospell, blaming people with different views on top down narrative manufactured controversies. Who gives a fuck about Stormy Daniels or Qshaman? Cults. Cults give a  fuck. Red and Blue Anon. Nobody in my town is being paid a living wage so all the rightwing bullshit about “nobody wants to work” being echoed mindlessly by all the shitlibs is nonsense. You boomers with the bands who got lucky in the 70’s, who among you is gonna work two fulltime jobs and still not have enough money to pay the motherfucking rent on a fucking dump. That’s why millenials say “Okay Boomer”, but I’m kinda less inclined to wanna get involved in a generational ageist fake culture war, either. I know boomer aged motherfuckers who work at the grocery store all day for shit wages, frontline eheroes, remember? And they live is shithole trailers and get sick and die sooner than all the self congratulating Thank Obamas and Whole Foods Got-Mines. So yeah that’s what’s on my mind, smoking’s stupid, so I’m smoke free right now but then I have an urge to consume more water on these hot days or whatever, ya know, everything costs, the carbonated water has tripled since Gropey Biden took office. “Blame Trump” they all tell me, how tired I am of bullshit partisan pingpong, the pasttime of the on script, team uniform devoted, yes ma’am, popularity seekers. I’m working on my garden, about to go weed. Sure I get loneley and bored in the desert but I’d rather spend time in nature now, listening to the birds then have to hear another human I used to really like just parrot the most fucked up stupid corporate media tv commercials on the rare occassion I can make contact with someone from the long gone past on the telephone. Dr. Drew is right, we are in the Upside Down. Pirate reference for you Pirate Lovers.

 The really kooky side of desert living here in the Upside Down is it does tend to attract all these affluent crackpots, the UFO crazies, everybody’s a make believe psychic, all the middle class men are play acting as shamen with big sticks and Gandalf raps, and all the old divorcees who married their twin white pitbulls say they are receiving psychic transmissions from invisible apparitions from other dimensions, every last ripoff airbandb or tourist trap trendy new age gallery owner also insists they are the ones with all the very special esoteric knowledge and  elite double secret magical, mystical know how, but they are always hunting for personal assistants and apprentices to do their grunt work in exchange for permission to be in the presence of their enlightened selves. Kinda like in that Dracula movie we keep seeing advertisements for. Every time we set foot in public someone is having a vision about how either the wife or I have soembody on the other side…and there is a man…and blah blah blah. They all wannabe that Jennifer Love Hewitt chick on her old occult drama tv show, “The Medium” or whatever. Meanwhile, even Penn & Teller became bullshitters for the establishment. Where’s the Amazing Randi when ya need ‘im? This whole country’s just a buncha fakirs, charlatans, prosperity gospel hustlers, guardians of property shuck n jivers, just-me not-sees, and self deputized hoity toity healing crystals astological karma police taking YOUR moral inventory while they drown in their own excess, gluttony, lion’s share and unearned privilege, but what about pro nouns, right? Identity politricks is all a big hoax, they don’t care about you safespace protected feelings classers, either. Go ask anybody from Standing Rock, Black Lives Matter, or Occupy Wall Street movements-they all got five minutes of lip service from the swells in the tower right before the ruling class doubled down on fucking them all over even worse. You don’t ask no poor people about freedom or civil liberties, do ya? Cause you don’t really wanna know. you got your hallpass from the ruling class and now you’re busy consuming cause you earned it with your merit and your extra special Sneetches starbellied protected class status. I met this 20 year old at the dollar store-he asked me if I was in a band and I had to say no of course but turns out he used to play violin and guitar until he was involved in some kinda tragic industrail accident resulting in his hands both being paralyzed to various extents, he had on an Ozzy bootleg concert t shirt, said his mom was taking him to Randy Castillo’s grave sight, once his dad gets out of the hospital. I liked him, he reminded me of my childhood hombre who pursued a career in medicine before the big khaki panted white coat, official narrative word balloon makeover. I got three associates recovering from chemo and one friend who is having health problems who flatout does not trust doctors, but as long as the super rich keep making lots and lots of money on the backs of the poor both here and abroad like in those Chinese swet shops, and their middle class enforcers, narrative contrntrol compliance officers enjoy some scraps of privilege, and monopolies get bigger while the indies shrink and vanish, I guess all good Murkkkans think they are winning at something. I’m opposed to mushroom clouds and human experimentation, I don’t think warpigs or creeoy secret island billionaires should be above the law but Bush declared he’d bomb the Hague if theye ever tried to hold the empire accountable for all the mass murder of Muslim brown people in oil rich regions. We were so naieve back then we thought Obama was gonna help the poor and stop the wars and then we put our sucker born every minute hopes into the idea that Bernie could change the DNC, but no. It was just a lot of empty bullshit campaign speechifyin and gettin’ in line with the imperial far right Lindsey Graham and Dick Cheney endless war agenda. We wre duped again and again. Politicians aint here to represnent us little people, they take big bribes to write laws allowing the gestapo to round up and weed out anybody from the lower classes that steps outta line with 25 percent of the world’s mass incarcerated population, as a warning to all those trains on time cowards-I’ve seen it all my life. They don’t even like thomeless veterans (“Get A Job!”) and remember when the frontline workers and first responders were supposed to be heroes? Only until they get damaged or sick or whistle blow about safety problems like all those railroad workers betrayed by Biden and Bernie and the Squad, need help.

I know pigmedia and every bought and paid off professional propaganda whore is gonna be trotted out to slander Robert F. Kennedy Jr. if he runs for president-look what happened to all his family members, including JFK Jr., but I hope he gets the word out about how WW3 is a bad idea, we are being lied to, and our food supply is even at risk now. So he gets my support, I’ll tell ya that. Drop in the bucket, I know. Everybody knows the DNC rig their primaries, collude with bigtech to censor facts about shit like Hunter Biden’s corruption in the Ukraine  and control the debates and only promote willing props of the facsist war and surveillance state. 

I went to a thrift store yesterday and felt like I almost got runover by some retrement aged lady couple who had Black Friday Stampede Frenzy, they were second hand store cherry picking for either online resell or a hipster boutique, or some rental property furniture, one of ’em looked at me and smiled sheepishly cause she somehow realized I was observing their mad, mad greedhead aggression. Someone had dropped off a load of fresh donations and they were like in a rampage to get out there and make some auction bid offer before any of the lowly poors. Boomer Aged Airbandb owning Kalltha Kops Karens are the most entitled people, man. We used to see the actual la Costa Nostra mob babies at Palladium, or the Arabs with diplomatic immunity leaving their limos idling in the middle of traffic but man the Boomer Aged Airbandb owning Kalltha Kops Karens, you don’t wanna even be seen by them, they will go to any length to keep control of their enviornment and they don’t like the looks of any working class dudes who are off the clock, they should be mopping something. The beatup dresser’s all yours. I don’t need any object as badly as they need every object.

JIM THIRWELL

When I was a runaway kid, even if I was sitting tow stools away from that guy, I just became a shrinking wallflower kinda slipped away. He frightened me, honestly, it was just too much. I recognized I was sometimes in the presence of real outlaw greatness but what would I even have to say to that guy, all I had to talk about back then was how I was in love with a girl who liked the Smiths but her parents hated me, I kept getting beatup all the time because I wore makeup, and how I really liked the Lords Of The New Church. Not that many adults were that interested in hearing a drunk teenager talk about that stuff. Whenever I think of Jim Thirwell, I think genius. Like Nick Cave and Prince and Phoebe Legere level genius. Makes me wonder how Trent Reznor was allowed to slip into the mainstream back before grunge. Thirwell is timeless. Truly epic. Excessively brilliant, too much, really. When I was 14 and 15, I had a much older girlfriend who I livved with who taught me about everything and probably saved my life in many ways, she ran around with all those people-the underground of the Lower east Side, I was so young that all I could really feel about the older artists she was friends with was a sortof detached awe or bitter jealousy, I mean all those cats she socialized with were way beyond my frame of reference I was so, so outta my depth, there was no way for me as a smalltown greasy punk to compete with all these realized artistes so I did not really even try-I thought they were super intimidating even as they became everyday fixtures who I saw all the time-Foetus, Zedd, Kern, the dude from the Swans, they all lived in my neighborhood back then but I was just too shy to really get that involved with any of them. I do remember having some good conversations with Stiv Bators, Peter Zaremba, John Spacely. I used to help Spacely shoplift from that bottle store on Astor Place. But anyways, here is Jim Thirwell, the best of the best….!

“Democrat-aligned media are allowed to voice some skepticism about war narratives with China while unquestioningly pushing war narratives about Russia. The inverse is true of Republican-aligned media.” (-Caitlin Johnstone)

“Is it a sign of my campaign’s strength that the Elite of DC’s establishment media simultaneously and shamelessly published an orchestrated and baseless lie to smear me, even before I announce my presidential campaign? CBS News’s Bob Costa, The Washington Post, The Daily Beast, Vanity Fair, and Salon are circulating fake news that the American people have come to expect and despise. Steve Bannon has nothing to do with my presidential campaign. I have never discussed a presidential run with Mr. Bannon. Journalism should be about “investigate and report” not “invent and report.” (-Robert F. Kennedy Jr.)

IF I BELIEVED THEY EVER FIXED THE DIEBOLD HACKABLE VOTING MACHINES OR THEY WEREN’T ALLOWED TO CONTROL THE DEBATES & CANCEL DEBATES & FIX THE PRIMARIES & SHIT & ACTUALLY COUNTED THE VOTES, I’D VOTE FOR ROBERT F.

DEPECHE MODE FOREVER

“And I haven’t felt so alive in years…”

R.I.P. Al Jaffee, ya know when I was growing up we did not have the internet or cellphones or any of that shit, so we did alot of reading and drawing and “Mad Magazine” was my world as a youngster, pre New Wave, it was “Mad”, “Saturday Night Live”, the Monkees, Beatles, comicbooks, Houdini, then I discovered The Doors and Stones and “Playboy” and “Penthouse” and then, it was Prince, the Clash, “Creem” and Van Halen, right? Psychedelic Furs and Duran, Thompson Twins, Billy Idol, Culture Club, Cyndi Lauper, Nik Kershaw, the Smiths, even U2 and the Police, on my Sony Walkman I’m ashamed to say….Depeche Mode was one of my main bands as a kid, what I listened to with my first love, some other later loves, the goth chcik from california who used to sneak me into her basement and I came to love her warm house but they tore it down to make more parking lots for the hospital-only industries in that town were the tankplant, the hospital, and the jails, ya know “Black Celebration” is more impactful and meaningful now than it even wa s when they wrote it cause you know all the songs are about death, drinking, seeking some kinda sanctuary from all the fear and alienation in some intimacy. Of course “Memento Mori” seems like a bit of a sequal to “Black Celebration”. I wish they woulda paid Alan Wilder and he coulda stayed with the band, you hear the golden era songs and there’s no question that his genius synth contributions enhanced Martin’s songwriting. I got some kinda dread about having to go out in public today, I just don’t like having to fuck with people very often anymore. I am watching that Brooke Shields movie and she is talking about the problem with beauty and objectification and everybody feeling like they somehow own you because of the way you look if you are born beautiful,everybody wants to capture and possess that beauty, no matter what one may be on the inside. Does not even matter, the beauty is there to be worshipped, bought, worshipped, possessed..That same kinda thing probably happened to my original Depeche Mode girlfriend, as her beauty blossomed beyond description, she was offered everything by everybody so it became increasingly impossible for her to stay who she was when we were young and weird, traumatized teenagers in mourning together, clinging to one another, she became accepted by the world, validated, pursued, applauded, all that stuff. I did not. It’s a bit of a comedy, really, the whole ride is definitely a roller coaster, we finally find friends and they have to leave us either in death or in their celebrity or capitulation or assimilation or whatever. I was thinking about my old goth girlfriends and once close friends who became psychiatrists and how they might think I’m crazier than their actual patients now cause I stuck to the code, ya know what I mean? All those lyrics still mean everything to me, Morrissey’s like that, too, ya know he mentions Gen X and X Ray Spex in his “Rebels Without Applause” tune, some of us were just not made to be part of the winning winner’s popularity contest, acquisition oriented, propertarian beauty world, I’m not meant for capitalist society, and even though Mozzer actually did succeed, and became rich and adored, he still was able to kinda stick to his own ways. I did not change my beliefs to marry into wealth or get the college P.C. official narrative makeover like all the former acquaintances who were conditioned to dismiss all corruption and injustice as mere “conspiracy theories” or “coincidences” or like, “human error and accidental oopsy daisy oversight” like with the Blackrock owned Norfolk Southern train wreck resulting somehow in an intentional “controlled burn” toxic fire in Palestine. I dunno, man, I never became inclined to just trust the loving and philanthropic billionaires to be my super scientific spaceman saviors for woke science. I never bought into the idea that the deep state spooks should be allowed to control the internet or be the media, or that the dark organizations that assassinated MLK and Malcolm X, John Lennon (according to former governor and Navy Seal, Jesse Ventura!) and the Kennedys were the good guys for DC Comics heroism and apple pie and marketing diversity.”Black Celebration” remains one of my favorite records even in my fifties. I only wanna hear music that has real heart. Now they are grooming people to have no hearts, it’s fuckedup, man.

SUSANNAH HOFFS NEW SOLO LP “DEEP END”

sounds pretty much exactly like you’d expect it to-close your eyes, give me your hands, darlin’, and just imagine ageless Susannah’s coy eternal teenager flirtatious eighties new wave popstar radio voice singing the Rolling Stones song, “Under My Thumb.” You can hear her in your head already, if you were a Paisley Revival eighties kid like I was, or probably even if you’re just a casual mainstream radio listener. I always loved pretty much everything by the Bangles EXCEPT “Walk Like An Egyptian”. I always hated that song, the drums were horrible, whole thing was insipid, but man Susaanah is a real cool rocknroll girl ya know she always selects the best covers, like “Hazy Shade Of Winter” or “If She Knw What She Wants”. I dunno if you saw that movie her mom directed back then, “The Allnighter” but me I always had to see and hear anything she was part of, it’s partly because of her eyes I admit it upfront, and partly cause I find her voice really soothing and like I said her taste is always just exquisite and impeccable. Even Prince fell for Susannah. Being famous is a fuckedup headtrip and ruins most people who have it inflicted upon them, but the real cool thing about Susannah Hoffs is how all sources confirm she is still real people relatable, loves music, writes, is a mom, sometimes I just youtube her and always dig all her live stuff cause she is pop perfection, usually. So yeah if you love her half as much as I do, dig into her new album “Deep End”. It’s pretty fab, like all her stuff usually is. I been her fan since “Hero Takes A Fall”. Been workin outside with the hot sun burning up my back, had to take a break here, hydrate, take my leather vest off, definitely one of those wifebeater only days, gonna have some sunburn on my shoulders, muscles still sore from relocating 15 big buckets of gravel yesterday, gotta go back to the DMV with more paperwork today, don’t expect the bureaucrat Angent Screwyou to let me have my I.D. today, either, really, the system’s meant to torture poor people. Too much work to do, had a couple hours off yesterday, then it’s right back to landscaping, yardwork, adolescent caregiving and part time attending to an older sick person’s needs, I ain’t complainin’ really, aside from the DMV and nonstop stress of parenthood, everything’s okay and I got a Susannah Hoffs song in my head. How fun that must be to have a voice like that! She’s sensational, no wonder she’s a big star-remember when stars were talented in some way, either exceptional as writers or musicians or bringing a unique perspective or point of view, or for having a unique sound to their voice? Now it’s just boy band and manufactured slut puppet rich kids make believing they just invented cross dressing and sicko occult ritual bullshit with a drum machine,.Bring back the Bangles. The Go Go’s, Dream Syndicate, Three O’Clock, ya know? People with talent and ideas saying their own thing. I thought Susannah’s frequent collaborator, Matthew Sweet was only so-so ho-hum back in the day, like I dug his song, “Girlfriend” but thought to myself, “he ain’t no Jim Ellison!” Now all that toxic Miley Cyrus hot garbage the industry pushed on us that aint even music man, makes me have more begrudging appreciation for like even Evan Dando who I thought was just some dumb pothead tall rich kid in an army suplus jacket playing slummy drug addict in the grunge years, he used to get on my nerves-now I can hear “Into Your Arms” by the Lemonheads and think, okay, at least there’s a song there, “Great Big No”, “Big Gay Heart”, Rick James Style”, I worked in Harvard Square during the peak of Alternahunk Evanmania so ya know I was just so NOT a Lemonheads enthusiast, but like I say, no real music is allowed on the airwaves anymore, so I end up revisiting the also-rans, even summa the stuff I thought was mediocre in the alternative era, summ that same shite even sounds almost decent, refreshingly melodic and humane, especially in the shadows of all that mass media promoted occult ritual plastic surgery pop, or push button video game post nu metal/pro war rage rawk they got now.

“Neither Party cares about you, their job is to keep you fighting each other while their donors steal everything we have. The Democratic Party doesn’t care about Black people, they care about Black votes, there’s a big difference

As long as they can get enough of our votes without actually doing anything, other than saying the GOP is racist, giving us some caring rhetoric and symbolism, they will. America, the land where 15 million people are about to be kicked off of Medicaid, but the big news is about a former President paying off a porn star. Imagine if we had a media that actually challenged what our Gov’t was telling them? Unfortunately, they are corporate owned stenographers, terrified of getting on the wrong side of the Establishment, whose job is not to inform, but to tell us what we are supposed to believe. Remember when the Biden Administration ended the 20 year occupation of Afghanistan after invading their country and killed an innocent man and his 9 family members with a drone strike on the way out?

Of course not, because reality is you only care about what the TV tells you to. How can you want Putin in jail and sit in America not caring about the fact that our Presidents are free? The US is still illegally occupying Syria while preaching to the world about respecting sovereignty. I get so tired of the US ‘holier than thou’ attitude, no country kills, steals, starves and interferes more than the US with the rest of the world. We recently even had politicians threatening to invade Mexico. Cut the shit please. It seems like it’s almost everyday now that I go on YouTube and see a different African leader talking about how the US murdered their leaders, couped their Gov’ts, stole their resources, and tried to force our values on them It’s almost like not everybody sees us as heroes. I will admit that it has been kind of nice watching countries all over the Global South telling the corrupt, lying, arrogant psychos from the US and their obedient partners in the West to their face about their hypocrisy and to get lost. The most dangerous Americans are the ones that are still convinced we live in a democracy, our Gov’t cares about people around the world, and their Party and corporate news channels are telling them the truth. Macron is having a tough time His country is on fire, countries in Africa have kicked France out, he got embarrassed letting his pals send him to China and he is tied to a sinking ship called the United States. It was inevitable that the US weaponizing the dollar against any country that disobeyed them was gonna result in the forming of alliances to protect themselves. You didn’t need a fancy college degree to figure that one out. No matter how many deaths the United States causes trying to hold on to their hegemony, it’s already too late. China won and they did it without bombing, couping and sanctioning half of the world.

The US likes to talks about the corruption in other countries Meanwhile at the Pentagon “Hey anybody seen that trillion dollars?” China is bringing Peace to the Middle East

The United States is bringing weapons to Ukraine. If you believe the owners are happy about the possibility of some kind of peace and stability coming to the Middle East or anywhere in the Global South, you have been successfully brainwashed. The US Gov’t is watching their rule of the world come to an end, and sadly our Oligarchy will not hesitate to kill or do whatever it takes to try to maintain their power and control. As Russia and China are trying to bring Peace and Stability to the Middle East, don’t think that the US won’t reach into their bag of terrorists to try to stop it. I don’t like Trump, and I don’t like this BS charge against him either. How about the Establishment either at least try to continue to pretend that this is a democracy and let the people decide if they want to vote for Trump, or arrest all of our other Presidents for their war crimes, if nobody is above the law? I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t think there’s a “Statute of Limitations’ on murder.

The rulers of the US are terrified that our citizens might figure out that capitalism failed and only benefits them. The US is fighting to remain the rulers of the world and Americans not only see nothing wrong with that, but thinks that any country that refuses to obey us and wants to grow and improve the lives of their citizens is our enemy. Russia standing up to the white supremacist, terrorist organization called NATO has caused the US many problems,

Many in the world have been emboldened to stand up for themselves, and there are now too many countries for the US to sanction, coup and leaders to murder at one time.The great freedom loving, democracy of the United States recently gave a grand funeral to Madeleine Albright who said on National TV “Killing 500,000 Iraqi children was worth it”

That’s the real country we live in. Taibbi “The Gov’t and Social Media were working together to censor accounts and even censored information that they knew was true”

Medhi Hassan “Oh, yeah! Well you got this date wrong” Does anybody notice how little the United States Gov’t talks about the fact that Ukraine is being totally destroyed as a country?

No need to wonder why, it’s not some kind of strategy, it’s because they don’t care. NATO isn’t at war with Russia, they are providing the weapons, cash, training, intelligence, strategy and Ukraine is providing the dead bodies and destroyed country. While they have people focusing on Trump, Wagner has now taken over and is chilling out in Bakhmut’s Police Station. I looked at several pictures and videos of Bakhmut

Holy Shit!

Is that what winning looks like now? The West came together and placed 10 rounds of economic sanctions on Russia designed to destroy their economy for decades

They spent $125 billion in weapons, cash, training and Intelligence to help Ukraine win Russia is still in Ukraine,and they are weak?

Zelensky is like a crackhead neighbor that keeps coming back for more with a story about how they just need a little more money and this time he is gonna use it and get his life together. Is it too much to ask for Americans to get this emotionally involved about the people in the Black and Brown countries around the world being killed and suffering from the sanctions placed by the United States? The West is panicking over the very thought that they have lost their ability to exploit Africa. I will admit that even when the Establishment got away with the Russiagate spy novel shit to try to get rid of Trump, I still never thought they’d stoop to something like trying to prosecute him for this Stormy Daniels nonsense.

We’ve become a bigger joke than I could imagine. Why does our media say that Taiwan is a country that China ‘considers’ part of its territory?

Almost every country in the world, including the US considers Taiwan to be part of China’s territory

The US just plays it both ways because they need to use Taiwan to weaken China. If the US cares about sovereignty why are they illegally in Syria?

If they care about human rights why are they giving $4 billion a year to Israel? If they care about democracy why do they organize coups?

If they care about freedom of speech and press why is Assange in jail?” (-Black In The Empire)

SPIKE

Been thinking about Spike quite a bit since his old bunch mutinied during the Covid Lockdowns and his best mate Guy Bailey passed away-looking forward to hearing that lp he co wrote with Guy Bailey they were workin’ on ya know he’s gonna record it with Chris Johnstone, Nigel Mogg and Rudy Richman later this year. I feel for the guy because I know what it’s like to have the whole pirate ship mutiny ala the Black Pearl also losing your dearest childhood brothers just makes every day feel so thin and fragile. God bless ’em. Myself, I feel like every cliche about growing old is coming true at once-wakeup feeding cats, making coffee, having teeth issues, knees goin’ out, arthiritic, bad back, PTSD, read the morning obituaries, end up liking the birds, cactus embedded in my hand becoming infected and I’m too blind to dig it out, even the total awareness of being an artless codger and sentimental fool forever longing for what is lost and can not be retrieved, complaining about his aches and pains, the ten daily vitamins, can’t remember certain words, shrinking vocabulary, the whole ordeal, the daily litany of lamentations.

DUANE PETERS 

I’ve known a lot of people who struggle with mental illnesses, and almost everybody I have ever known is hiding some kind of addiction-most usually that driving compulsion to obtain always more products or attain more status with titles or diplomas, endorsements or showoff sttus symbols, power trips, vanity, but even the prim and proper pretty talkers are usaully night time wine box guzzlers or big pharma middle class prescription pain pill abusers, so I aint gotta lot to say when the temperance league scolding committes and cancel culture nags all turn against somebody, Im not part of the lynchmob bogus culture war identity bubbles, I come from a pre P.C. world where they all told us they did not give a fuck and to get over it and get a haircut and get a real job and you aint a man unless you drive a really, really, really big truck and have a lotta money to buy a woman, like ya do. I’m not part of the fauxwoke world that judges and crucifies people with mental illness or substance issues in tumultuous, hateful, punishing times such as these where the state goes back n forth between glorifying violence when it’s time to steal oil or fuck with other countries sovereignty like in Peru where the Biden administration did their coup, kidnapped their democratically elected leader and have helped their puppet government assassinate reporters and over 75 protestors last I heard; and then wring their hands about how language is violence if they wanna take down some comedian for making too much sense, it’s a fucking crazy planet we’re living on, and just a handfull of billionaire motherfuckers are perpetuating a lot of the needless death and suffering. The way I see it, you aint no punk if comfortable college educated middle class people aint calling you a Russian Troll or Conspiracy Theorist. Ya know it’s all just like one long ongoing nightmarish heartbreak, watching all our loved ones dropoff one by one, my whole crew is dead and gone, I guess a couple survivors went into the deep retirement-rooms of recoverty, watching sports on television, that kinda stuff, or just flatout soldout and became just like their moms, ya know. It’s hard and lonely doing the long walks alone. I still wanna rock, I’m a like a one man landslide. I’ll tell ya who rocked like a motherfucker. Duane Peters, everything he did was rocknroll all the way, red blooded rebel rocker through and through, ya know he did not come to fuck around. One of the real punknroll motherfuckers, power to the people, street rat scavenger, creator of intensely cool clothing and music and songs and I don’t even care about skateboarding, I’m not a skateboarder, never have been, where I came form, that was like jock culture, not really subversive outlaw rebellious stoner culture, it was preppie jock assholes, the bullies and rich kids who skateboarded, so it was never my scene, it was the opposite of punk in Shmoehio, but I get the how it was different in California. I also don’t care at all about any famous ex skateboard pros having rivalries or beefs. Nothing to do with me. You know I’m always askin’ myself where have all the real punks gone? Most of ’em are dead already, only a few of us still living by any kinda real street level punk ethics, most people who call themsleves punques nowadays are just the rules following, propaganda consuming, stand in line eager beaver tv believers with disposable incomes showing off their three thousand dollar spiked jacket at the museum or whatever, I don’t even like those people-the Pink 182’s, I call ’em, the Offspring fans, that aint my scene, the Green Days might as well be Kalltha Kops Karens or Thank Obamas-only pro war when there is a Republikkkan president, they love the kkkops, and worship any and all authority figures but especially the identity politricks of the fauxgressive do nothing fraud squad supermodels-their preassigned, made for tv celebrity figureheads; and even their own behind the scenes string pulling George Soros and Bill Gates oppressors, I think they all have Stockholm Syndrome, ya know what I’m sayin’. Anyways, when I need a good dose of fast fix Alrite! and Fuck Yeah, Duane Peters has always been such a reliable right on go-to source of energetic anarchism and defying the system and flagrantly livin’ by his own instincts and beliefs. I loved that cat’s music even if he’s got a controversial or criminal past and is probably way, way to the right of me politically, I can see clearly how what used to be the left was all hijacked or infiltrated by Cointelpro disruptors and P.C. fauxwokes so ya know I don’t quit liking somebody’s wild rocknroll just cause their politics seem to shift, I think the left verus right arguments are irrelevant really, a big diversion, when both so called sides support tyranny, fascism, censorship, police state, and endless war. I know people online slag him off as Qanon and it’s possible he went crazy for awhile or fucked up here and there when he was grief stricken over the death of his kid, but I get that. I understand what a horrifying and agonizing hurt that must be everyday, I never “got over” any of my friend’s deaths, so ya know I stand with everybody struggling to make sense of this crazy fuckedup world of lies when it’s usually the corporate media and government doing all the real abuse and bullshitting and dividing all the rest of us. Some people say he’s got drug problems or mental health issues, fuck shit man, doesn’t everybody in tortuous times like these? I hope his other kid with Cory Parks is doing okay. We corresponded a little bit, back n forth on social media way back in the day before I got lockedout of social media for antiwar shitposting. I felt devastated with him when he lost his son in a car accident. I miss that guy, all his rocknroll smoked, he’s the personification of a total rocknroll motherfucker. I got a U.S. Bombs. patch on my Dickies  jacket. Still carrying a little piece of black flag for Duane Peters! I don’t really care if the safespace shitlibs say he’s crazy, all his rocknroll still rocks L.A.M.F.

“Liberals in the U.S. are openly advocating for government control of information & speech! Keep watching Trump while the neoliberal fascists continue to consolidate their complete control of all political & cultural apparatuses.” (-Ajamu Baraka)

 “It’s not just that the NY Mag ignores the violence of our culture and foreign policy. Of course it is ridiculous to ignore the trillion dollar military, the 800+ military bases, the bombings of multiple countries, the death squad training, the glorification of violence in the media and sports, and the bellicose rhetoric of the puppets in the government, when looking at violence in America.

No, they are blaming ”violent words” because it is part of the incredible ruling class push for censorship of the internet.

Note that they ignore the violent language of the TV talking heads and the calls for assassination and/or a military coup from mainstream media.

It is the free speech of we, the people, that they are aiming for, and they are using the hysteria created by the imperial media to push for censorship.” (-Paula Densnow)

“This NYMag article on “politics as warfare” notes how US politics is emulating real “warfare,” but it doesn’t go far enough. Not only is the U.S. experiencing more than “political violence,” but the article avoids asking/answering the obvious question as to WHY this has happened. How, after 17 years in a state of perpetual war and war glorification propaganda, including the violent video games that help military recruitment and Hollywood’s almost pornographic fascination and normalizing of war hero-worship type violence, did it all eventually seep into and dominate American consciousness to a degree that has turned our schools, places of worship, night clubs, concerts, and other public places into domestic war zones. Why do so many emotionally-troubled Americans now see shooting up ther fellow Americans as the answer to their personal problems.

The fear and hate (greed, false pride and blind loyalty) emotions that US leaders deliberately ginned up in order to muster public support for launching wars on foreign “enemies” has clearly boomeranged back in the form of this increase we see in: military homicidal-suicidal PTSD, mass shootings of all varieties, domestic terrorism, opioid addiction and other forms of mass violence, all likely leading to a rather unprecedented decrease in American lifespan for the second year.

But instead of connecting these dots, after each senseless slaughter, the news coverage dwells on bigotry, “heated political rhetoric” or police’ search for a “motive” in order to avoid the wider but simple explanation that violence begets violence, that years and years of US wars on foreigners have finally taken their toll with violence now blowing back domestically.”  (-Coleen Rowley)

I never understood the psychology of cops who’d beat their own neighbors to please some obvious evil higherups but they call it the chains of command. All my heroes like Nina Simone, James Baldwin, Jim Morrison always knew France was where The People still believed in libery and would stand up and fight aginst tyrants and fascists. Seems like the fight goes on. SOLIDARITY!

MY SINCERE ENDEAVOR TO NOT HATE THE ROBOTS WHO WORK FOR THE DMV

I don’t believe in wishing ill upon people, maybe they just don’t know any better, they were probably just raised that way. The manicured bureaucratic Karens hate me cause I am a poor male, was born this way, but ya know they were all programmed at middle class trains on time school to hate and blame the desteable have not undesirables who shoulda, shoulda, shoulda. I get it. 

We knew it was a no for me before we even went, it always is, always has been, al;ways shall be, my old lady had me change my clothes, pull my hair back, not wear the pink glasses, take out my peacock feather earring and it was still a no. That’s what they do, that’s who they are, should I hate ’em just ’cause they were daytime tv and gender schooled to hate me and get paid good money to drag me through the bureaurcratic red tape punishment gauntlet? I mean, I did not go to navel studies at the sports university, so I already recognize with great clarity how it’s the Davos billionaires who meet in secret and the secret societies and secret police who rule the world, I don’t labor under any delusions of this being any sortof democracy, or of AOC, Bernie or Obama representing my interests, values, or prefrences, in any remote way. I had my lease agreement, five pieces of mail, my birth certificate, two old I.D.’s, and my social security card and made an appointment and showed up politiely and the authoriarian deskjob robot told me the letter from my bank verifying my address was insufficient, that I needed a utility bill in my name, I’m not head of the household so utilities go to my old lady. I said, “millions of people don’t have utilities in their names, how do they get state I.D.’s”? She said, robotically, “I don’t make the rules, I just work here”. I know that’s what the nazis said, and I know the nazis still reign supreme, but I mostly struggle with these lingering affinities I have for the trains on time people who I used to believe in, but who only love thir privileges they receive for propping up the system and make excuses for the “way of things”. Most of ’em never stood for nothin’, not one real principle except for Wanting More and gloating, banility of evil got their title and that title is what’s important, it allows them to lord over us lesser thans people leading from the bottom. I say, down with the occultist nazi king and his depopulation billionaire cashless society microchip buddies and I hope the Gates Reset agenda system falls, but you know my heartbreak is all my people who fell for the imperial ruse. Gonna change the Deathstar from the inside, they said. Now they got their Trader Joe’s and a “Coexist” bumper sticker, Amazon boxes on the walkway and some property, so they can’t love me anymore. Probably never did, I was just the one with the party way back in their Lenny Kravitz and Jane’s Addiction phase. “I’m everybody’s slave…”

ANDY TAYLOR LIVES!

Ya know I was feelin’ sorry for myself and my much cherished and devoted and loving wife surprised me with a pink flamingo bandanna, you might know I wear bandannas and also FOUR little Duran Duran buttons that I promptly added to my favorite denim jacket with the Furs and the Sun records buttons. I have loved Duran Duran since I was 12 or 13 I guess, and pray frequently for Andy Taylor who I always thought was awesome and an important part of their whole enterprise. My whole culture and way of life, the people, the places I loved, they are all vanishing before my horrified eyes so I endeavor to celebrate all the music and songs and allies n truth tellers who bring me joy everyday whether it’s old new wave bands like the Furs and Cure and Duran and Billy Idol and Charlie Sexton and Flesh For Lulu and the Divinyls, or whistle blowing martyrs like Daniel Hale and Julian Assange, political prisoners, victims of the evil empire’s extrajudicial and evil assassinations, all the writers and researchers and real journalists who look for truth from Glen Ford (RIP) to Chris Hedges and Fiorella Isabel and Abby Martin and Margaret Kimberly and Cait Johnstone, all my loved ones here, out there, or on the other side. There is a high wind advisory where I am and it howls furiously, blows everything down and then gets quiet again for awhile. Some cilantro popped up in one of my pots I’m growing so that’s a real thrill for a novice gardener like myself. My son seems to be having a good day, the people of France are bravely resisting the NWO tyrants and that is oh so beautiful to behold, Status Coup is still covering the poisoned people of Palestine and Pennsylvania, that the pigmedia is covering up cause Blackwater owns it all. So I’m grateful for Status Coup. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. might run for President against the bipartisan pigs of war and even though I think the fix is in, I welcome his presence in the struggle and will amplify his messages for peace, legit science, and the protection of our food supply. Birds are singin’ in the trees, I   got two or sometimes four people who give me a lot of friendship and solidarity and comaraderie, long distance.these are things i am grateful for!

We’re Being Trained To Worry About ‘Russian Propaganda’ While Drowning In US Propaganda
One of the weirdest, most insane things happening today is the way the entire western world is being trained to freak out about “Russian propaganda” — which barely exists in the west — while ignoring the fact that we are spending every day marinating in billions of dollars worth of US empire propaganda.CNN has an article out titled “Darya Dugina’s death provides a glimpse into Russia’s vast disinformation machine — and the influential women fronting it” on the recently assassinated daughter of Alexander Dugin, a Russian political thinker of wildly exaggerated influence.The article uses Dugina’s assassination to further stoke its audience’s ever-growing panic about Russian disinformation, quickly becoming a commentary on Russia’s entire propaganda network without bothering to articulate how Dugina’s death “provides a glimpse” into its workings.Without the slightest hint of self-reflection or irony, this CNN article about Russian propaganda cites as its two main experts a think tanker from the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab and a think tanker from the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA). The Atlantic Council is a NATO narrative management firm that is funded by NATO, the US government, the UK government, various other US-aligned states, the arms industry, and numerous billionaires. CEPA’s donor list looks similar to the Atlantic Council’s and includes US arms manufacturers and the US government through both the US State Department and the CIA cutout National Endowment for Democracy. Both are used to promote the information interests of the US-centralized power alliance in Europe and North America.As we’ve discussed previously, the way news media cite corrupt warmongering think tanks to discuss foreign policy without ever mentioning their immense conflicts of interests is plainly journalistic malpractice. But this practice is ubiquitous throughout the western news media, the because western news media are propaganda outlets.In which ⁦@CNN⁩ chooses to smear the assassinated Dugina as a “disinformation” purveyor (rather than just someone with a “pro-Kremlin world view”). Note that not only doesn’t the word “terrorism” appear in this long article, not even “assassination”. https://t.co/Fx6WCoDkNH— Left �� on the News (@leftiblog) August 30, 2022The article cites RT, the Internet Research Agency, and something called United World International as examples of “Russia’s vast disinformation machine,” despite every one of those institutions having a degree of influence that is the exact opposite of “vast” in the western world. In 2017 RT accounted for all of 0.04 percent of total TV viewership in the UK. A study found that the much-touted US “election interference” campaign by the Internet Research Agency in 2016 consisted mostly of posts that had nothing to do with the election and comprised “approximately 1 out of 23,000 pieces of content” seen on Facebook. I’d be surprised if anyone reading this has ever even heard of United World International, and CNN’s own article acknowledges that before that outlet was banned from western social media its accounts only ever had a few thousand followers.Compare those paltry numbers to the nonstop barrage of empire propaganda that westerners are fed every day of their lives by every news media outlet of significant influence — whose coverage of the Ukraine war has eclipsed that of all recent wars the US has been directly involved in — and it becomes clear that this message we’re being fed that we all need to panic about Russian propaganda is itself propaganda.The CNN write-up criticizes RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan for saying in 2012 that “When Russia is at war, we are, of course, on the side of Russia.” As though CNN ever sides against the US during US wars. Not only does CNN consistently take the side of the US government in every single war, it conducts brazen propaganda operations to help start new ones, like the time it staged a scripted interview with a small Syrian child calling for US military interventionism in Syria.The only difference between Russian state media and US state media is that Russian state media is honest about what it is.This story disparaging @TheGrayzoneNews approvingly cites “Ross Burley, co-founder of the Centre for Information Resilience.”Politico’s @e_casalicchio doesn’t mention that @rwdburley is a UK state propaganda operative who has called for Grayzone to be censored. Why omit that? https://t.co/Qo1L5w4DKp— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) August 29, 2022This wave of nonsensical, artificially created panic about Russian disinformation has been used to dismiss any and all information which comes out that casts the US empire and its lackeys in a negative light as Russian propaganda or the work of Russian agents. We’ve seen this over and over again, from the way Julian Assange has been falsely cast as a Kremlin operative to the way indie media are falsely framed as Russian propaganda operations.The latest example of this deception is the way incriminating leaked emails of prominent British figures published by The Grayzone have been dismissed in a new Politico hit piece as a dishonest representation of emails obtained by Russian hackers per “the Russian playbook”. Grayzone staff hastened to point out that not only does the Politico article fail to grapple with the rather important question of what the leaked emails actually contain, but that it failed to mention that its primary source is a UK Foreign Office veteran and psyops specialist who has a publicly stated vendetta to get The Grayzone censored online.The manufactured hysteria about a nonexistent epidemic of Russian propaganda in the west has people so blinkered and confused that it’s become impossible to criticize the most powerful government in the world for its planet-threatening brinkmanship with a rival nuclear superpower on any online forum without getting accused of being a secret agent for the Kremlin. My own social media notifications are continuously lit up with accusations of Putin loyalty and rubles in my bank account just for criticizing the most dangerous impulses of the most powerful and destructive government on earth, despite never having worked for Russia or any other government.What’s funny about all this is that by constantly warning of the dangers of Russian propaganda, imperial spinmeisters are admitting that they know it’s possible to manipulate public thought at mass scale using media. They’re just lying about who’s doing it to us.In reality, they’re not worried about Russian propaganda. “Russian propaganda” is just a spooky story we are told to keep us from noticing that our civilization is saturated in US propaganda.

I could watch countless, endless hours of archival Stones footage.

FREE THE PRESS!

You might remember how I warned inattentive folks during the DNC rigged primaries and Rachel Maddow-Pink Hats-Hillarybot Hysteria-When Liz & Hillary Slandered Sanders As A Sexist But Not Bill Clinton or Gropey Joe, (HUH?)-Fanatical-Russiagate’s initial first round, you know when Libya butchering, cackling warhawk Clinton was going on tv and calling people like Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein and Susan Sarandon Double-Secret, “Putin-Puppet”, Trump lovin’ Russian Trolls, and that kinda McCarthyist smear was being allowed to stand, and routinely repeated by gullible shitlibs online, that they’d end up saying everybody was a dirty commie, EXCEPT for facking multi million dollar super high salaried propagandist and new cold warrior Rachel Maddow, and here we are. Hillary asked why she could not just drone whistleblower journalist Julian Assange and now, she and her deep state cronies still have him locked up in Belmarsh while she still gets to trash talk good people on the tightly restricted airwaves of the USA USA corporate media. Mickey Dolenz having to sue the FBI who apparently thought the antiwar MONKEES were “too subversive”. What a laugh. “Monkees”, “More Of The Monkees” and “Headquarters” were like my go-to records as a young kid, and my dearly departed brother from another gutter Tattoo Mark who died on the mean streets of New Orleans used to tell girls at the bar that all my songs, “Always sound like the Monkees, if they were singing about slitting their wrists”. He’d also say I look “Just like Rachel, Lou Reed’s jilted lover”. He was my favorite insult comedian, a deep swamp bullfrog blues belter and a fantastic poet. (RIP) MONKEES FOREVER! Those rich scumbag, boomer aged, greedy, horrible fucking inhumane warpigs should have smoked a lot more pot, dropped a lot more acid, and listened to the words of the Monkees song, “For Pete’s Sake”.

SPORTS, NEWS, & WEATHER DESK:

The Ukraine conflict has plunged the world into a geopolitical crisis. But this is not, as the writer Patrick Lawrence points out, the only crisis. The war in Ukraine has exacerbated the crisis within the western press, inflicting damage that he believes is ultimately irreparable. The press in the U.S. and most of Europe slavishly echoes the opinions of a ruling elite and oversees a public discourse that is often unhinged from the real world. It openly discredits or censors anything that counters the dominant narrative about Ukraine, however factual. For example, on August 4, Amnesty International published a report titled “Ukrainian fighting tactics endanger civilians.” The report charged Ukrainian forces with putting civilians at risk by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals, a violating the laws of war. To call out Ukrainian for war crimes, however well documented, saw the press and the ruling elites come down in fury on Amnesty International. The head of Amnesty International’s Kyiv office resigned, calling the report “a tool of Russian propaganda.” In one of the many broadsides the Royal United Services Institute in London wrote that “The amnesty report demonstrates a weak understanding of the laws of armed conflict, no understanding of military operations, and indulges in insinuations without supplying supporting evidence.” It is nearly impossible to question the virtues of Ukraine’s government and military. Those that do are attacked and banned from social media. How did this happen?  Why is a position on the war in Ukraine the litmus test for who gets to have a voice and who does not? Why should a position on Ukraine justify censorship? Joining me to discuss these questions is Patrick Lawrence who a correspondent and columnist for nearly thirty years for the Far Eastern Economic Review was, the International Herald Tribune, and The New Yorker. He is the author of Somebody Else’s Century: East and West in a Post-Western World and Time No Longer: America After the American Century.

BACKS OF THE POOR

My ole lady threw her back out while doing heavy lifting for our sometime local employer and I feel pretty bad for her. Developers are driving us off our street with plans to spend the next few years with big machines and dirt movers and scandalously shady home builders building a big series of overnight popup McMansions. They start the hammering early nowadays. We got outdoor cats and a kid with a disability all this traffic puts at risk, there’s supposed to be like 200 new people across the street here and we kinda feel the squeeze. The old unwelcoming gentrification pressure I been subjected to since about ’95. When the haves wanna push out all the have nots. They wanna make the owners sell these lots to the big investors. That’s why we’ve had to take these new hard labor heavy lifting jobs as a side hustle moving shit for rich people. We gotta hustle up money to relocate. This rickety old desert trailer has been good to us these last few years but with the leaky roofs, freaky hermit neighbors, lack of furnace and creepy builders, it’s feeling like it might be time to pull up our circus tent stakes and ya know, kinda ease on down the road, like in that old Keith song. “I Will Walk Before They Make Me Run.” Hopefully, if the Good Lord’s willing and the crick don’t rise, we can be resettled somewhere safe by Christmas, but it’s gonna require some luck, longshot potential landlord cooperation and a mammoth amount of work and worry and more heavy fucking lifting and landscaping which is not my idea of good times, but our oversized teenager has outgrown the 53 year old trailer. The creeps in authority here have also put us all on notice by repeatedly deploying cops and code enforcer goon squads on our street to intimidate the elderly an disabled residents.

Our neurotic, needy, big fat cat pawed his way into the bedroom and woke me up about five thirty this morning and I was not ready to get up, but the neighbor’s confused rooster is cockadooing and I fed some outdoor feral cats and looked up at the night stars. My bored teenager is asking me to remember my own bored teenager shenanigans and I was telling him about how fun it was when we had two turntables and a mixer so we could make real mix tapes for people. My friends Sean and Fred had all the old, old, old school early rap 12 inches, ya know just shelves and shelves of ’em, and ya know like Midnight Star eighties soul and R & B. “Ready For The World” and Lisa Lisa-right? LL Cool J, Whodini, Ice T, Kurtis Blow and Run DMC. I can’t tell him much of the real story, he’s just nowheres near ready for all that, but I had a friend who I met in detention hall who was like a Biz Markie charismatic beatbox-he was a big onery rascal who used to sneak his daddy’s Cadillac out at night, we’d push it down the block then jump in and drive it out towards deep suburbia where the girls with the Farrah hairdos all lived. We’d be knocking quietly at their windows like in that Shaun Cassidy song, “Hey Deanie Won’t You Come Out Tonight”. They seldom did, but sometimes, there were about three girls from the local church, who would met us under the underpass by the railroad tracks. The one named Missy would always bring her hair brush with her everywhere. I guess she had some bad misadventures in more recent years, she shocked us all with so many of her choices. They all did, really. Yikes. Some of ’em got involved ya know with like the piss town drug culture, some others became Joe Job work a day, paycheck chasers, buying houses, building empires, buying real estate and all that shit. Two classes of people you really don’t wanna get involved with much are slave wanting empire havers and drug culture. You always get burned. I remember when there was no such thing as free long distance, ya know, pre NSA, pre I-Phones, you had to pay these fuckedup sky high phone bills, so I got a couple old homies still mad at me for using their phones while trying to contact people in faraway cities trying to organize shows for my greasy hoodlums bands and look for drummers and all that kinda stuff. Even the motherfuckers I reimbursed fully way back in the olden daze still go round complaining about it decades later. We all watched Duran Duran and Inxs on MTV and later on, VH1 kindof started off as the soft rock easy listening MTV, all Michael Bolton bullshit and like adult mush ala Phil Collins. MTV, man. That was everything, where we saw Billy Idol and Prince, Van Halen, and Adam Ant. “120 Minutes” and “Headbanger’s Ball”. Hard to believe there was a time when we could see bands like Lords Of The New Church and Zodiac Mindwarp on fucking television. Now everything is like New World Order Metaverse Goggles bullshit manufactured unreality shows about belting the Whitney Houston high note, it’s all artless, like Olympics sports competition. A world of fabricated suckiness. Imagine being such a crazy tyrannical overlord, you intentionally make show biz puppets that suck on purpose. We used to hear songs like, “Open Your Eyes” and “London calling”, but now it’s like all designed to dumb you down and numb you out, get you to not read, just be a mindlessly compliant slave, purchase, obey, die. As Stiv sang in “Ready To Snap”: “they’ll take their pills and they’ll never question why”. I never, never understood all these guys who would actually watch televised sports. I used to get stuck in hotel rooms with my grandfather watching golf for hours on trips to the Motor City to buy cars for his Smalltown, Kentucky car dealership. Kentucky is all about college basketball, like Ohio is obsessed with college and pro football. Not me, man. I was into Prince and Bowie and all those kooky new romantics, even the real daffy stuff like ABC and Visage.  I remember liking “The Surreal Life” and “Rotten TV” in later years, before they took good music off the airwaves and replaced it with those fuckedup fucking unlistenable “I Want It That Way” make no sense, expensive tennis shoes boybands, monarch programmed stripper pop, and aspirational beach house lifestyle programming like “90210” and “Friends”, “Dawson’s Creek”, “the Hills” and “Kardashians” that glorify idle rich kids and all that awful shit like Katy Perry candy jingles and like, all those hundreds of different creepy occult pop videos, Madonna’s daughter just did one where she and some dude are cavorting around on Houdini’s grave. I been outta step with faux popular culture for years and years now. I don’t even believe any of it is really popular, it’s just bad bullshit thrust upon us against our will by the creepy sociopaths and billionaire tech-lords who own the pig-media. My kid has Autism but all those gnarly Youtube clips of “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” seem to make dope dealing and dirty lawyering and crooked copping all seem glamourous to him and his former classmates. Sheesh, and then there’s all that illuminati-pop garbage.

I-94 Recordings

HEY SHADOW

My old Detroit friend, I-94 Recordings honcho in chief, Jim Rinn, sent me some kinda digital version of a Candy Snatchers single. He’s the cat who brought you Cranford Nix Jr., the Trash Brats, and those essential and historic “DRUNK ON ROCK” compilations! Also this whole Detroit B Side series everybody’s talkin’ about. Check out all his boss swag. I’m a notorious luddite and tend to shun new tech, I’m still like a cassette tapes and records and cd’s kinda guy. I can’t really figure out all that Dropbox shit ya know I never had an I-Pod or I-Phone or any of that, but I used to see the Candy Snatchers perform pretty frequently way way back when I still went to see live rock shows. The dead guy was rude to me once, he was a good player, wild onstage, really flailed about and banged his head like a super adrenalized righteous glam stomper, but ya know he was all jackedup on the road and they were the excessively inebriated darlings of the underground back then, so he was feeling a disproportionate sense of self importance and made some ridiculous comment about my girlfriend at the time, all these live fast/die young tough guy punks were always trying to sortof be swaggering lady killers back then, but really, they were sometimes just coming off like brainless heavy metal dickheads. Locker room shit talkers. I will say they stormed the stage like crazy motherfuckers, grossed everybody out with the bloodshed. Larry reminded me of Danzig a little bit, or Elvis, actually, he had undeniable raw power. The fad chasing, disposable income enjoying, “garage rock” bandwagon, vinyl buying, Midwestern hipster scenesters who sucked up to the ripoff recordstore owner who inherited some money and thought he was Martin Chess or some shit, they were all pinned to the back wall of the bar, actually cowering, meekly afraid of the Candy Snatchers!!! I remember how they’d all stand in the back with their Rolling Rocks, totally intimidated by those guys. I guess one of those guys got in trouble with the law for something. The one with the sunglasses after dark who used to talk to me about Hanoi Rocks all the time. They kindof reminded me of the Dwarves and Electric Frankenstein, ya know? But my main fave band from that whole scene, before punk rock died was, of course, THE HUMPERS. The Humpers put on the best shows AND wrote the best songs. Of course we also all loved Scott Deluxe Drake‘s solo bands and his brother’s group, The Joneses, and their spinoff project, The Vice Principals. That was our favorite kinda rocknroll. The wild, untamed kind! I also remember Knox and The Vibrators putting on a great show back then, they played at an illegal after hours type venue and were such a blast, me and a spiked black jacketed, now sadly dead, punk rocker named Jude (RIP) and a hard drinking crusty street kid I loved who worked at my ex girlfriend’s pizza place named Howie (RIP) who is also gone too soon, were like singing in the mic with Knox all night, I think he  played all of “Pure Mania” live that night. These new younger guys Jonesy are pretty good throwbacks to the sad last daze of like Teengenerate and the Rock & Fucking Roll record label ran by Martin Mcmartin and those Sal Electric Frankenstein Fist Full Of Rock compilations. I kinda like ’em. ‘Lot like me n my friends when we were young, and dumb and joyfully playing a lotta Hollyood Brats and NY Dolls influenced basement band bubblegum, really. They look like they’re having a lot of fun. Shades of Doctor Boogie or the Sweet Things. Dig! I think they’re kinda fun, personally.

THE ORIGIN OF STUDENT DEBT: REAGAN ADVISER WARNED FREE COLLEGE WOULD CREATE A DANGEROUS “EDUCATED PROLETARIAT”

In 1970, Roger Freeman, who also worked for Nixon, revealed the right’s motivation for coming decades of attacks on higher education.

WITH THE vociferous debate over President Joe Biden’s announcement that the federal government will cancel a portion of outstanding student debt, it’s important to understand how Americans came to owe the current cumulative total of more than $1.6 trillion for higher education.

In 1970, Ronald Reagan was running for reelection as governor of California. He had first won in 1966 with confrontational rhetoric toward the University of California public college system and executed confrontational policies when in office. In May 1970, Reagan had shut down all 28 UC and Cal State campuses in the midst of student protests against the Vietnam War and the U.S. bombing of Cambodia. On October 29, less than a week before the election, his education adviser Roger A. Freeman spoke at a press conference to defend him.

Freeman’s remarks were reported the next day in the San Francisco Chronicle under the headline “Professor Sees Peril in Education.” According to the Chronicle article, Freeman said, “We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. … That’s dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow [to go to college].”

“If not,” Freeman continued, “we will have a large number of highly trained and unemployed people.” Freeman also said — taking a highly idiosyncratic perspective on the cause of fascism —“that’s what happened in Germany. I saw it happen.”

Freeman was born in 1904 in Vienna, Austria, and emigrated to the United States after the rise of Hitler. An economist who became a longtime fixture in conservative politics, he served on the White House staff during both the Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon administrations. In 1970 he was seconded from the Nixon administration to work on Reagan’s campaign. He was also a senior fellow at Stanford’s conservative Hoover Institution. In one of his books, he asked “can Western Civilization survive” what he believed to be excessive government spending on education, Social Security, etc.

A core theme of Reagan’s first gubernatorial campaign in 1966 was resentment toward California’s public colleges, in particular UC Berkeley, with Reagan repeatedly vowing “to clean up the mess” there. Berkeley, then nearly free to attend for California residents, had become a national center of organizing against the Vietnam War. Deep anxiety about this reached the highest levels of the U.S. government. John McCone, the head of the CIA, requested a meeting with J. Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI, to discuss “communist influence” at Berkeley, a situation that “definitely required some corrective action.”

The success of Reagan’s attacks on California public colleges inspired conservative politicians across the U.S. Nixon decried “campus revolt.” Spiro Agnew, his vice president, proclaimed that thanks to open admissions policies, “unqualified students are being swept into college on the wave of the new socialism.”

Prominent conservative intellectuals also took up the charge. Privately one worried that free education “may be producing a positively dangerous class situation” by raising the expectations of working-class students. Another referred to college students as “a parasite feeding on the rest of society” who exhibited a “failure to understand and to appreciate the crucial role played [by] the reward-punishment structure of the market.” The answer was “to close off the parasitic option.”

In practice, this meant to the National Review, a “system of full tuition charges supplemented by loans which students must pay out of their future income.”

In retrospect, this period was the clear turning point in America’s policies toward higher education. For decades, there had been enthusiastic bipartisan agreement that states should fund high-quality public colleges so that their youth could receive higher education for free or nearly so. That has now vanished. In 1968, California residents paid a $300 yearly fee to attend Berkeley, the equivalent of about $2,000 now. Now tuition at Berkeley is $15,000, with total yearly student costs reaching almost $40,000.

Student debt, which had played a minor role in American life through the 1960s, increased during the Reagan administration and then shot up after the 2007-2009 Great Recession as states made huge cuts to funding for their college systems.

Joe Biden’s Role in Creating the Student Debt Crisis Stretches Back to the 1970s

That brings us to today. Biden’s actions, while positive, are merely a Band-Aid on a crisis 50 years in the making. In 1822, founding father James Madison wrote to a friend that “the liberal appropriations made by the Legislature of Kentucky for a general system of Education cannot be too much applauded. … Enlightened patriotism … is now providing for the State a Plan of Education embracing every class of Citizens.”

“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance,” Madison explained, “and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” Freeman and Reagan and their compatriots agreed with Madison’s perspective but wanted to prevent Americans from gaining this power. If we want to take another path, the U.S. will have to recover a vision of a well-educated populace not as a terrible threat, but as a positive force that makes the nation better for everyone — and so should largely be paid for by all of us.
