Shame, Shame, Shame.
December 21, 2020 18:20 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBShame, shame, shame. This country isn’t a democracy, it’s a plutocracy. You never see a politician sitting with the people in traffic court. Most people in the U.S. congress are multi millionaires. They aren’t working for the people, they’re working for the powerful corporations. While there was unprecedented suffering in this country the politicians failed to help the people. There’s a reason why politicians need police protection and it’s because this country is bankrupt in lots of ways. Th...
Sabotage
December 14, 2020 19:32 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBSabotage. The people are going to take the fall for the Covid-19, not the leaders. They’re expendable, the chumps. The clowns at the top brought this on while millions suffered. They couldn’t assist the people who were suffering cause they needed time to try to right the sinking ship that is our government.The first stimulus package was to keep consumerism alive not the people. The politicians weren’t doing the business of the people, they were buying time to save the system. They’ve created ...
The Propagandists
December 07, 2020 19:27 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBThe propagandists. I’m an artist and I appreciate beautiful things like George Bingham’s 1846 painting The Jolly Flatboatmen. You’ll probably never see anything like that in this country again. You’ll just hear and see spin by propagandists. You haven’t the freedom that painting shows. It takes a lot of government agencies to watch over the people in this country. Politics is a self serving profession. Lets not be silly about this, you’re taking the fall. It won’t just be a dark winter, it co...
The Business of America
December 01, 2020 00:03 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBThe business of America. I’m not a Democrat or a Republican. I’m a Speciest. I’m connected to the natural world not the consumerist world of artificial values. I’m part of the march of evolution. Consumerism produces ugly behavior, causing us to over step the laws of nature. The need for more has produced a national debt that will never be paid back. We are the purveyors of deception, the nation of propagandists, the materialists without meaning. You’ve been tricked.
Before Covid-19
November 23, 2020 18:20 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBBefore Covid-19. There was a different plague in America and it probably wasn’t from a man made virus. It wasn’t determined why daily it was occurring. It was violence. And it was with people killing other people without any reason. This country is not a democracy. Consumerism has called into question our values. Social unrest is our future after Covid-19 and it won’t be just with automatic assault weapons. Car bombs may be in our future. The largest injection of fiat money in history can’t s...
Disreputable Behavior
November 16, 2020 19:12 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBDisreputable behavior. It could be outright fraud, but the spin could be greater than the idea of one person, one vote. I’m an artist so I don’t speculate on politics. The truth is: Our solar system is located in a spinning galaxy traveling at 500,000 miles an hour and that’s no lie or deception. It takes 230 million years to revolve around the center of the Milky Way but it feels like we’re standing still. Politicians can’t be trusted, so the spin can never permit the truth to be revealed.
Breaking The Law
November 09, 2020 18:32 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBBreaking the law. I’m a law abiding citizen but I used to know a guy who destroyed parking meters. The truth is there’s lots of anger in this country. There are people at the top that say all we have to do is get back to work. Just restablish order. Drink the Kool-aid. The U.S. debt is never going to be paid back but politicians want to keep the system rolling along. Somewhere, somehow there will be consequences and it will be painful.
The Great American Amnesia
November 02, 2020 17:31 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBThe great American amnesia. Clever people and grocers weigh everything.We like to think we know how to calculate, but ask a college student what you get when you multiply six times seven and they’ll say they haven’t their calculator. I memorized multiplication tables, but it doesn’t help cause the numbers keep lying. The stock market is artificially inflated. Kasimir Malevitch’s famous painting The Black Square.
What The Politicians Aren't Saying
October 26, 2020 17:39 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBOur waste is enormous. But politicians won’t tell you that. If the facts aren’t good just change the facts. I like clean water but that’s getting harder to find. I like sitting at a table in a restaurant with a plate, silverware and a glass of water, not eating from a bag a piece of meat slapped between a bun wrapped in wax paper, sipping sugar water from a straw in a plastic cup. Our historic debt is never going to be paid back.
I Can't Constrain Myself
October 19, 2020 16:02 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBI can’t constrain myself. I feel anger toward politicians today. Who are these people at the top? Our national debt will never be paid back. We have a panoply of despair and yet our politicians refuse to help the people. My point: Borrow any amount of fiat money cause it will never be paid back. It’s at the heart of everything. What is money? Digital currency, a credit system, a debtor jubilee. The federal debt will disappear. MUSIC Michael Giacchino, Alexander Borodin, Ryan Amon
You Aren't Going To Be Safe
October 12, 2020 18:56 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBIntangible illusions. You aren’t going to be safe, cause covid-19 is going to be with us for a long time. It’s not like spraying your house for an infestation of termites. Why are seeds being collected and stored near the arctic circle? Are we going to run out of food? Not quite, cause high protein insect shakes are on the way. Things could get messy when you lie to people too long.
Does Racial Discrimination Exist?
October 05, 2020 17:40 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBNo one’s the same. Does racial discrimination exist? You bet it does. It exists in white culture and it exists in black culture. Social engineering tries to make everyone the same. But that won’t work. Excessive physical force is a result of differences between cultures. White culture says be like us, but black culture says we have are own way of being. This country will never repay our government’s debt. The laws of nature can’t be denied.
A Blood Sport
September 28, 2020 19:31 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBA blood sport. Welcome to the propagandist world. You can’t be trusted to think for yourself. Get on board the ship of fools cause you’re nothing more than a number. Things have to be turned upside down, so grab that brick and start looting. Politics is a dirty business. Violence to achieve political objectives is the future, if it isn’t here already. Assassins will be at every turn to gain power. As mayor Daley once said, “Police are there to create disorder!”
I Could Tell You What You Want To Hear
September 21, 2020 18:33 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBBe like us. I could tell you what you want to hear, but I won’t do that. You’ve been turned every which way. You’re the chumps. Consumerism has brought some ugly ways of living. Would we have been better off if European values hadn’t been brought to this country? I don’t choose sides. Conflicts associated by race exist in lots of countries. White culture says: Be like us. But guess what? After 150 years of the end of slavery, black culture is saying: Be like us.
Our Lost Identity
September 14, 2020 18:38 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBOur lost identity. Political correctness is a danger to our well being. Violence may be the result of a loss of identity. Propagandist want to make everything the same, but nothing is the same. You can’t erase a culture without pain especially when you have hollow values. Instability and violence are going to be here for a long time. Surveillance is the order of the day. Destroying to get what you want isn’t going to work.
The Voting Season Part Two
September 07, 2020 18:35 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBThe voting season.The voting season is upon us and as a pundit I’ve avoided taking sides. I’m an artist, a predictor of the future, so I don’t like putting a finger on the scale. You’ve got to know how to grow food, cause “Progress is our most important product”. Salvador Doli wouldn’t have been a good President of the United States, but then again, things are a bit surreal. We’re a part of nature, so when the lights go out don’t be surprised. The deception is fiat money, and private workers ...

Just More Dangerous
August 24, 2020 17:50 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBJust more dangerous. I can’t tell you there’s good news. I can’t lull you into believing everything is going to be alright. Only the propagandists can do that. The government will never be able to pay back what it owes. Consumerism has created ugly behavior bringing an age of continual unrest. Beirut was destroyed by a single explosion. We’ve never been safe, just more dangerous.
Who's Winning
August 18, 2020 05:52 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBWho’s winning? Everything could be for sale. You thought trouble only existed in third world nations, but the electricity isn’t guaranteed to stay on. Traffic lights could stop working. My therapist says I should be more hopeful, but a living Artificial Intelligence could put a new meaning to life. Go answer the door. It’s the past being destroyed. Destroying the past won’t bring you a better future. You’ve never been free.
A Force of Nature
August 10, 2020 18:06 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBA force of nature. There’s going to be more than a minute wait for the train. Delays are going to last a long time. Consumerism has brought some unpleasant behavior. White culture took over North America and said be like us. No two people are alike. Injustice has a long standing history in human behavior.

Real Trouble
August 03, 2020 18:20 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBReal trouble. Serious damage has occurred and you should expect psychological, financial, and health concerns to persist. This nightmare isn’t going to disappear. There are some people I don’t like. Age old military conflicts are about to erupt. Action for order will be called for.

Erasing A Culture
July 27, 2020 18:59 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBErasing a culture. Economics cause cultures to collapse. In the recent past public parks were built for public enjoyment. Today, public enjoyment is to tear down or destroy. Entertainment parks are designed for making money. Forget about being in nature when you can be a full time zombie living at home. There are some people I don’t like and that includes some cultures . But then again, who owns what?
Who Do You Trust?
July 20, 2020 18:25 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBWho do you trust? Can you trust without verification? I trusted my dogs more than my fellow human beings. Tolerance, understanding and forgiveness are cultural values. I’m retro cause I believe in creativity. I don’t destroy art. The facts just the facts. Are we an economic basket case? Roman slaves built the Pantheon but I wouldn’t destroy it. I don’t destroy my culture cause I wouldn’t know what to replace it with.
Everybody Is Different
July 13, 2020 18:19 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBEverybody is different. But culture says you must be like us. I could lie telling you everything is going to be all right, cause if you have the power to use force to apprehend, you may want to do that. For every action there’s an equal opposite action and group think can be very ugly. We’re closer to animal behavior than we think, cause we’re not the only ones that laugh. But this is no laughing situation. Consumerism hurts.
Injuring Oneself
July 06, 2020 17:24 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBInjuring oneself. Consumerism makes some people feel inadequate. Societal suicide. No two people are alike and justice isn’t equal.

Who Gets Punished?
June 29, 2020 18:39 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBWho gets punished? Our specie is a wild bunch, we don’t kill like other animals in the animal kingdom. You’d think blood was thicker than water but that wasn’t the case with Eugene O’neill who intentionally never spoke to his daughter after she was 18 years old. The rules are bent in the Consumerist world. John Corsine spent 62 million dollars to win a U.S. senatorial seat. The culture of punishment.
Predicting The Future
June 22, 2020 18:37 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBPredicting the future. Knowing history helps. Covid-19 has stopped normal human behavior cause life ain’t like nothing I’ve ever seen. Bizarre and terrifying come to mind. Consumerism’s progress is our most important product. Consuming keeps rolling along, always deceiving saying nothing is wrong. The strength of our economy is our counterfeiting, the funny money of Monopoly. That’s why I won’t entertain you.
The Future Has Arrived
June 15, 2020 19:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBThe future has arrived. Not another election! I really don’t have time to offer an opinion cause I refrain from listening to propagandists. I find it hard to believe in people who get facelifts. They deny the truth of who they are. Aren’t they in it for themselves? Propaganda says everything is good, but a military coup is a real possibility considering our government’s debt. We like to punish in this country.
Things Always Change
June 08, 2020 19:13 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBThings always change. It’s difficult to predict the future but the business of America may be going out with the tide. There’s a world wide crisis going on and some people will do anything to put all the pieces back together again. Our species is gregarious, but individual isolation is how we’re going to live. I belong to something else.
The Inflection Point
May 26, 2020 01:27 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBThe Inflection Point. The origins of America’s Consumerist economy began with our government’s debt. You’ve been manipulated to get more. You’ve been hot wired to get more. The business of America was business until Covid-19. People worked because they had to and the Petro-Dollar and fiat money turned us into consumerists. Oil endangered the natural world where profits had no boundaries.
Plundering Glorified
May 19, 2020 08:11 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBPlundering glorified. It’s easy to criticize, especially when things start going south. But things haven’t been right for decades. I miss not seeing craftsmen any more. Consumerism just wants you to take more. The plundering of Nature. There’s a new way of thinking on the horizon, and it won’t just be for following the bouncing ball. The price of crude oil had a historic event. Record unemployment is here.
Hope Denied
May 11, 2020 21:39 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBHope denied. Consumerism’s design: Make people brain dead. What good is a B-52 bomber without bombs? Hell, I’m not a Republican or a Democrat, I’m just depressed like everyone else. Trouble’s not going away cause money’s becoming worthless. We’re going to be issued credit. It’s just a kiss away.
Who Dune It?
May 05, 2020 01:34 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBWho dune it? A look at the mental pathology of someone capable of releasing Covid-19. There are a lot of mentally unstable people in this world.

Equal Opportunity Offenders
April 21, 2020 02:06 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBEqual opportunity offenders. I share my ailments with people. I wonder if when I go to sleep I’ll wake up the next morning.

The meaningless waste of consumerism. Prepare for war.

You've Been Warned
April 06, 2020 19:59 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBYou’ve been warned. There isn’t any doubt about what’s been happening. It’s just beginning. Shock waves are coming. Coronavirus doesn’t come from nature. It’s a weapon, and more is to come.

Sometimes I Wish I Could Have Been A Dog
March 09, 2020 18:43 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBScratching the earth. Wiping your feet. Sometimes I wish I could have been a dog, to play as a free child. I can never abandon the natural world.

Consumerism Debases Our Meaning
March 02, 2020 17:23 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBDoes it or Doesn’t it? Consumerism debases our meaning. We’re different than other living things. That doesn’t sound right, does it? Well stop and look around. Samoa’s death rate during the 1918 Spanish flu. GDP can’t improve inherent beauty.

Enough Is ENOUGH?
February 03, 2020 19:54 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBEnough is enough. Maybe enough isn’t enough. The first photograph in 1826 was’t enough. The first motion picture in 1878 of Sally Gardner was enough. The 1930 movie, The King of Jazz, was too much. Consumerism today says enough isn’t enough. More isn’t enough, or is it?
You're Over Sexed
January 27, 2020 19:20 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBYou’re over sexed and it isn’t making you healthier. Sex is becoming redundant. The black spider limits their DNA from being over used when she kills her lover after sex. Where’s the gratitute in that? Negative interest rates might signal depopulation. We’re living without time. Money without time.
Call Me Grotesque
January 20, 2020 19:26 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBCall me grotesque. The phone companies are planning on inserting a smart phone in your brain. And the consumerists love it. Give your new born the gift of love, an organic smart phone placed in the head. If that’s not enough, get your body tuned up with a petri dish grown mini brain. Why stop there. Try a new kidney grown from a pig.
The Stench
January 17, 2020 05:22 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBConsumerism’s child. Character building football. Maybe everything is all right but what’s that stench I keep smelling in the air.

Irrational Love
January 06, 2020 20:33 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBThe Giant. Irrational love, the tragedy of a misplaced love. The crossing of a societal tabu, an unbelievable event. Our lives have forever been changed and we’re all living on borrowed time.
