On the release of an unredacted
Version of the Mueller report
If and when it ever comes to that
.
Skeletons are dancing in the closets
Of senators and representatives
Therefore the posturing continues
Concealing the trepidation and fear
Of transparently doing the right thing
To immediately release Mueller’s report
Too busy deciding who they serve
(Against what they don’t want revealed
In that they might lose their “power”
When objectively they have none)
It is certainly not the constitution
Or the people Or the “Rule of Flaw”
Merely the propagandocracy that runs
The distraction & manipulation machine
To serve the corporations/governments
As the dog and pony show continues
Befuddled broadcasters & talking heads
Giving color commentary to a game
Of tic-tac-toe knowing in the long run
There are no winners or losers only
Consumers in a vicious cycle in the
Immersion of see & hear advertisements
Hoping that the next new shiny object
Will fill the abysmal void of the soul
As absolutely nothing is geared for
The elevation and enlightenment
Of the consciousness of humanity
Towards the realization we are all one
Especially since the closer we get
The louder and more bizarre the chaos
Is “reported” to the masses as “news”
.
“Do you know we are being led to
Slaughter by placid admirals
& that fat slow generals are getting
Obscene on young blood
Do you know we are ruled by T.V.”

I’d be willing to bet a huge amount of cash that there is more than one copy of Mueller’s report. Barr probably has at least a half a dozen.
An original
A copy of the original
One to redact
One for Trump’s team to redact
A backup for that one as that would be impossible to redact after being shredded
One for a research team to find every conceivable loopholes such as
.
Determining what the definition of “is” is
.
“It depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is. If the – if he – if “is” means is and never has been that is not – that is one thing.
If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement.
But, as I have testified, and I’d like to testify again, this is – it is somewhat unusual for a client to be asked about his lawyer’s statements, instead of the other way around.”
– Bill Clinton

WHEW

Wouldn’t you think somebody could pull a Daniel Elsburg and get one copy out of Washington and to the WAPO & NYT

Nope,
Everyone is on the take to present and propagate their own personal perspective to push pull placate or pummel Putin’s petulant petty poor puppet president…..

It is a bumpy ride, so hang on and like life it has no point.

It is a systemic problem to a systematic solution
However, the collective wants it fixed without participation
To my best understanding things don’t work like that
The image/meme inspiring this rant is from Facebook
Of a picture of Ellen Degeneress with words over it saying
Liberals don’t mind her making 35 million a year but scoff
At a CEO making 5 million employing 5 thousand people
A good point perhaps yet it only scratches the surface
Which really has nothing to do with either Ellen or the CEO
Based on the “context” seems to be a tax the rich reference
Or perhaps how is it justified one person makes so much
Fortunately or unfortunately it is based on consumption
Artists and or (I hate to say it) pro athletes, earn their keep
Even those goofballs that drive aimlessly around an oval
“I want to be a race car passenger, just a guy who bugs the driver. Say man, can I turn on the radio? You should slow down.
Why do we gotta keep going in circles? Can I put my feet out the window? Man, you really like Tide…”

Or one of my favorites the comedy of the Howard Stern show
All getting paid well for exactly what the market will bear
To my best understanding as I have no income insight
No one is plucked from obscurity and given those careers
They’ve put in their *outlier requisite ten thousand hours
In my perception doing what they’d rather be doing for pay
Likewise the CEO making 5 million employing 5 thousand people
The difference is he or she is not sponsored by consumables
(You can bet some bean counter can explain the high salaries)
Therefore in the grand scheme of things is not “producing”
The revenue justified to make that kind of big 5m money
It is intetchangeable with other people who can do that
Perhaps not always but probably in most ceo cases
Whether it be Ellen, Howard, Oprah, Dale Jr or Brett Farve
The products they move employ a lot more than 5 thousand
All well tracked by statisticians and more bean counters
If you listen and watch carefully, the bigger the audience
The higher the margin there is on the products sold
Paid for by Joe and Jane Q public buying because thought
Is not required to make impulse buys due to clever marketing
The “celebrity” is getting paid more and employs more people
The consumers buy the products sponsoring the entertainment
Take a bag of potato chips (not mine, get your own) thank you
A retail ten pounds sack of potatoes sells for about three dollars
Think of what large corporations get it for wholesale in bulk
A one once bag of potato chips sells for about a dollar give or take
Minus the cost of processing packaging distribution and advertising
There is maybe fifteen cents of actual product in and including the bag
Still there is a whole host of people getting paid in the process
Backwards. The clerk selling it, the stockperson who put it on the shelf
The distributor who bought it to the store, the driver from the warehouse
The driver who picked it up from the potato chip maker who received
The potatoes from the farm after it was grown and harvested
In between all of that, the diesel that was used to move everything
The trailers tractors farm equipment buildings and roads that all
Employed lots of people up and down the line for a simple bag of chips
.
This is where it really goes off the rails
.
A couple of other products of which their retail pricing
Have me flabbergasted beyond realistic comprehension
Is underwear and bed sheets sold like they were gold
Hyped up to do things unimaginable by simple cotton
Commoditized to the point they can be purchased “cheap”
Say nineteen or so dollars for six pair of comfy underwear
But why do that when a branded pair sells for thirty dollars
Making that one hundred and eighty dollars for six pair whew
Easily coughing up to help pay for the celebrity endorsement
Same goes for the sheets I hear perpetually advertised
What can normally be purchased for about fifty dollars
The ad goes if you act now and mention a tracking code
You can get fifty dollars off, holy #uck, they must be free
Nope, try close to two hundred and fifty discounted to
Two hundred smackaroos on the exaggerated claim
You will get the best sleep ever, like God on the “seventh” day
.
Time to get back on track
.
I doubt I’m worth the “money” I “make”, yet it is what
“They” pay me for Looking At The World Through A Windshield
Getting paid to sit in an air ride seat in a comfortable cubicle
Listening to the satellite radio, ipod, audio books and comedy
Driving up to 135,000 miles a year and enjoying 99% of it
Storing and compartmentalizing this to write down later
“Whatever, don’t do shit you hate. People work jobs they hate. There’s another way. Whatever it is you do… Fuckin’ quit. Go in on Monday and steal a bunch of shit, and quit. If you don’t absolutely love it, if you wouldn’t do it for free… Quit.”

As for the participation balance of everyone’s taxes
I think everyone can agree the system is #ucked up bad
Yet it goes on in the illusionary perception that should somebody
Who thinks the system could be revised more equitably
Might might just be able to make that much money
And enjoy the perks of a corrupt system that has people
Watching the homeless on the streets from high ivory towers

“Tim Cook Apple”
– 45
.
On Eminem’s best day, he couldn’t say that so fast, that if you slowed it down you wouldn’t be able to decipher “Cook”.
.
“Republican donors in attendance called it one of Trump’s weirdest lies ever. On Friday night, under a tent erected over the pool at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, President Trump claimed the media were spreading “fake news” when they said he called the CEO of Apple “Tim Apple.”
Trump told the donors that he actually said “Tim Cook Apple” really fast, and the “Cook” part of the sentence was soft. But all you heard from the “fake news,” he said, was “Tim Apple.”
.
Two donors who were there told me they couldn’t understand why the president would make such a claim given the whole thing is captured on video. Nobody cared, they said, and Tim Cook took it in good humor by changing his Twitter profile to Tim Apple.
“I just thought, why would you lie about that,” one of the donors told me. “It doesn’t even matter!”
.
I guess it only matters ’cause people believe, what they want to believe.
Must be some kind of mystical adhesive that coagulates the atoms, protons and neutrons, derived further from subatomic particles like quarks and neutrinos (that are indeterminible waves or particles) into what appears to be an ego self in the form of a humanoid, deluding itself that it is separate from the whole.
Wasting its infinite power on accepting audible emanations from a human (made up of the same “stuff”) whose inflated, fragile and heightened narcissistic ego leads some to believe everything that collection of congregated cells says.

“There is just enough bullshit to hold things together in this country.
Bullshit is the glue, that binds us as a nation. Where would we be without our safe, familiar, American bullshit?
Land of the free, home of the brave, the American dream, all men are equal, justice is blind, the press is free, your vote counts, business is honest, the good guys win, the police are on your side, god is watching you, your standard of living will never decline… and everything is going to be just fine—
The official national bullshit story. I call it the American okie doke. Every one, every one of those items is provably untrue at one level or another, but we believe them because they’re pounded into our heads from the time we’re children.
That’s what they do with that kind of thing—pound it into the heads of kids, ‘cause they know the children are much too young to be able to muster an intellectual defense against a sophisticated idea like that, and they know that up to a certain age children believe everything their parents tell them.
And as a result, they never learn to question things. Nobody questions things in this country anymore.
Nobody questions it—everybody is too fat and happy. Everybody’s got a cell phone that’ll make pancakes and rub their balls now— Way too fucking prosperous for our own good. Way too fucking prosperous,
Americans have been bought off and silenced by toys and gizmos. And no one learns to question things.”

“It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that.
I’m talking about the real owners now.
The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.
Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant.
The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice.
You don’t.
You have no choice.
You have owners.
They own you.
They own everything.
They own all the important land.
They own, and control the corporations.
They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.
They’ve got you by the balls.”

“I have this feeling man, ’cause you know, it’s just a handful of people who run everything, you know … that’s true, it’s provable. It’s not … I’m not a fucking conspiracy nut, it’s provable.
A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media.
“I have this feeling that whoever is elected president, like (Bill) Clinton was, no matter what you promise on the campaign trail – blah, blah, blah – when you win, you go into this smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there.
And you’re in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down … and a big guy with a cigar goes, “Roll the film.”
And it’s a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you’ve never seen before … that looks suspiciously like it’s from the grassy knoll.
And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president,
“Any questions?”
“Er, just what my agenda is.”
“First we bomb Baghdad.”
“You got it …”

Won’t the future be amazing when the technology creates a device where you can connect with another human being
One that sits on a night stand or hangs on a wall so you will always know where it is and never lose it.
Perhaps by pressing a few buttons you can talk into a mouthpiece and hear the other person’s voice with crystal clarity through a round speaker. Disconnect by simply placing the handset in a cradle.
An invention so advanced, it will work, even when the power goes out. Virtually indestructible, should it accidentally be dropped. So timeless, once it is in place, it will never ever need to be replaced. Therefore the cost to own it will be essentially zero, not forty dollars a month forever.
Within it an unprogramed feature, that circumstantially teaches you to trust and develop your instincts that when you are not near it and you hear “bad” news you can tune in to the emotional frequency of a family member to determine their health and well-being.
A simple doohicky that performs those basic functions that you won’t need it to file taxes, research the pyramids, create a music video or carry to wipe your butt, pick your nose, scratch your ass or shave your legs.
Maybe, it will even have a cord, so it can’t be brought into a bathroom anyway.

“It’s amazing how different shit is now. And it hasn’t been this way for a long time. It has been a very short time.
Everybody has a phone in their pocket. Just a few years ago nobody had their phone. It was just the phone. It was this thing, the phone. That was in a room in your house, and then dial this freaking thing, the rotor. And you had to turn it. [rrrrrrr….].
//
Now we have this, which is amazing. You have these phone that you can call in an air strike. You can look at the top of your own head. It’s amazing this shit and it’s wasted on the shitiest piece of assholes. I swear to god. We are the worst people.
Because we have this beautiful thing, and we hate it. We are just, “duh nuh.” I have never seen a person going, “Look what my phone can do…” Nobody does that. They all go, “Fu**ing thing grrrrr. sucks….I can’t get it to…”
Give it a second. Would yeah? Could you give it a second. It’s going to space. Can you give it a second? From space. Is this speed of light too slow for you? You noncontributing product sponge.
Can you just wait?!?! Can you just wait? And just take a little breathe. Just wait for the picture of axle rose to get on your phone. Like it doesn’t f***in matter what you are doing. We are all so mad, “I hate my phone. It sucks.”
No it doesn’t. It’s amazing. The shitiest cellphone in the world is a miracle. Your life sucks around the phone. Why are you so mad at it.
People say the craziest thing, “I hate verizon.” What are you talking about? How can that feeling exist? “I hate verizon.” Why? Did they fire you and take away your pension? “No just a couple of times it went weird for a second. I hate them!”

“Infinite Dreams”
“Infinite dreams I can’t deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn’t hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams
Suffocation waking in a sweat
Scared to fall asleep again
In case the dream begins again
Someone chasing I cannot move
Standing rigid a nightmare’s statue
What a dream when will it end
And will I transcend?
Restless sleep the minds in turmoil
One nightmare ends another fertile
It’s getting to me so scared to sleep
But scared to wake now, in too deep.
Even though it’s reached new heights
I’d rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder it makes me think
There’s more to this I’m on the brink
It’s not the fear of what’s beyond
It’s just that I might not respond
I have an interest almost craving
But would I like to get too far in?
Can’t all be coincidence
Too many things are evident
You tell me you’re an unbeliever
Spiritualists? Well me I’m neither
Wouldn’t you like to know
The truth?
Oh what’s out there to have the proof
And find out just which side
You’re on
Where would you end in Heaven or
In Hell?
[Solo]
Help me. Help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from torturing
Myself even within my dreams
There’s got to be just more to it than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I’d like to think that when I die
I’d get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again.”
