My video message to all, complete with song fragment.
so here we are
the end of ’24
I made it thru.
so did you.
so here we are.
I have no optimism to share
no words of hope
nor any advice
except this:
(Song fragment: wake up)
don’t let them win
without a fight
don’t ever give up
gotta make it all right
no time for hate
no time for revenge
we gotta fucking wake up
for this nightmare to end
At least now the United States will have a President who accurately represents the American Republic. Trump is not a symptom of American decline, but the result of it. A criminal. Mobster. Abuser of rights. Plunderer of resources.
He personifies all the worst things America does. No filter.
America has been an imperial power since WWII. Buying or taking whatever we want. Under cover story of stopping communism, we’ve invaded Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and more. If we can’t win using economic warfare, like tariffs and corporate invasions, we send in the marines.
All of it “to protect vital interests”.
Like big oil and gas profits, and ensuring infinite future profits for the weapons industry.
Sold to the highest bidder. Everything is for sale. Except for peace. We sell weapons to both sides to ensure that unrest continues in the world, because a world without warfare is much harder to exploit for profit and power.
All the unrest and violence in the world also enables a nearly $1T per year military budget, further ensuring the profits and stabilty of weapon manufacturers…and their ever growing stock prices (=huge profits for the rich and shameless).
But good news…we’ve finally come out as a country. Now, our president will be a mob boss. No more hiding, pretending to do good.
Hey world: It’s who we really are. The Home of Monopolies and Organized Crime, The Land of the Deceived.
All that “protect the peace” and “promote democracy” BS is just the cover story. Again and again we make the rest of the world “an offer they can’t refuse”. Our words are backed by aircraft carriers, stealth bombers and nukes. Who’s gonna argue? Who’s gonna be the first next to get fed up, and decide to fight back?
I guess we’re gonna find out. And soon.
Authors Note: All opinions expressed here are just that: opinions. If you don’t like mine, I probably won’t like yours either. Let’s just nod, and walk away. Maybe come back with solutions instead of opinions. Because of the two, only solutions actually matter.
Unalienable
We’ve grown complacent and blase
Mainstream music, homogenized, bland
Time to teach them the meaning
Of Punk. Rock and Roll. Again.
Time to hammer the hounds of repression
Demand Freedom. Liberty for ALL.
Demand Equality. Justice and peace.
Nothing less is acceptable.
Nothing more is necessary.
Unalienable. Undeniable.
We did it in the 60s-70s. Well, I didnt. But I watched them do it. They did it without the Internet or anything. The elite fear us, so they censor our communication and divide us with propaganda.
Music will unite us again, and they won’t be able to stop it. They won’t be able to stop us, because the universal truths are on our side. All are created equal. We have Unalienable Rights, as HUMAN BEINGS.
Unalienable means the rights cannot be given or taken away, and these rich motherfuckers will NOT deny us.
Time to stand up.
Twas the weekend before Christmas
We were broke as could be
We were freezing our asses
By the fire and TV
When what did our half-frozen
eyeballs then spy
Was a snowstorm to bury
All our firewood in ice
It got colder and colder
We shivered and shook
As the wind howled and sliced
Out the window we looked
More snow was falling
I can’t wait till it melts
The basement gets flooded
mud up to our belts
May your Christmas be white
May your driveway stay plowed
May we all make it through
All this hate, fear and doubt.
May the season bring joy
May you somehow find peace
In the dark years ahead
Love and light will not cease.

Alas, our government is soon to be under control of a South African Nazi billionaire and his cronies, who paid to have their idiot criminal Manchurian candidate installed by a ‘free and fair’ election, that was rigged by manipulating public opinion.
With the aid of complicit billionaire owned news corporations, these plutocrats controlled the media and normalized every horrid and sordid thing Trump did, while scrutinizing and demonizing the black woman who opposed him. They made it NORMAL for a convicted felon rapist dirtbag to run for president, as they played to every racist and sexist trope.
With some help from the other side. Biden’s DOJ failed to prosecute. So much for ‘nobody is above the law’.
AND…..they won the election.
Suddenly it was just another election. MSNBC’s morning hosts immediately flew to Florida to kiss the ring. They were ALL working for the other side folks. Money decided who won. THEY did.
None of this normal. This is a class war, and 97% of us just lost a huge battle. So many of us are still cluelessly believing what the talking heads tell them. The lies will keep coming until we wake up.
In Europe, they call it Austerity Measures. Add a pinch of Faux-Christian Nationalism, and a huge scoop of racism and blame, alongside the overhanging threat of using the military and police against anyone who protests or threatens the regime, and what do you get?
The United States has become first NORTH American Banana Republic. American Idiocracy at it’s finest.
Oligarchy. Plutocracy. Look them up. Then look up socialism and capitalism. Capitalism is the highway to Oligarchy. Socialism is the fruit of Democracy. In which we learn to share, and take care of one another.

Upstate NY…the part we live in is actually part of Appalachia. It’s not actually as bad as the Simpsons say, and somehow, red and blue voters have always been able to get along in the past. The truth is that everyone you ask cares about the same things.
For the record, if it sounds like I’ve lost my sense of humor, I have. There is nothing funny about any of this, and I’m keeping my head down and remaining on full defense. Call it Self Care. It’s not paranoia if they ARE out to fuck you. Trust me, they are out to fuck us. Most of us.
The next few years are going to be unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. People we know and love will die. Women. Children. Trans kids. Refugees. Journalists who dare report the truth.
All Unnecessarily.
People are going to lose their freedom for standing up for what is right, against a completely corrupted government with zero tolerance for dissent. There will be protests in the streets, and violence when Trump sends the military against the protestors. I’ll keep speaking out, like this. Until it becomes too dangerous, or they come for someone I know. Then it’s war.
Simply put, if you aren’t on the right side of history, I don’t need you in my life. On social media and real life. Friends. Family. ANYONE. If you’re still cluelessly sitting on the fence, YOU ARE on the wrong side. I might try to school ya, but only if it doesn’t cause me too much stress and pain. It’s easier to block and ignore.
Like I said: Self care.
This is a hill I will die on, figuratively, but also literally if they come for people I care about. If you didn’t vote, voted 3rd party, voted for Trump, you are on your own. Because you voted to hurt people. This isn’t just about political party, it’s about morality. It isn’t just politics. This is basically America’s moment of Truth. Our own little custom Armageddon, and ironically, the Church is on the wrong side. Maybe it’s because they aren’t reading their Bibles. Or maybe they are, and they’re actively working with the Orange Anti-Christ to make it a reality…to force Jesus to come back or some dumbass bs.
Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not getting all religious. I do believe in a greater power, but i don’t think Jesus is coming to save us. I think we need to save ourselves. I’m just pointing out the obvious similarities between Revelations and Reality here, while knowing there are other, more tangible explanations for them.
Look. Above all, this is about defending myself, the people I love, and all the good people who value the Truth, from harm. Keeping the pain as far away as possible.
It hurts to talk to certain family members. So I don’t. I won’t. That’s the simple truth. They’ve become immoral and represent everything I detest about America. About Humanity. I may love them, but I have no room for that negative energy in my life. No room at all. It just brings me pain. And right now, I’m not looking for that in my world.
You know what I’m about to say.
Self care.
