The Course of Events
The Course of Events. Revolutions take place from time to time and America may not be immune from that. Any number of things could cause people to gather together to over throw the corruptive practices of our politicians. This is a historically violent country and to prove it, there's no shortage of guns which no one can remove. Our politicians lack a sense of modesty. They're pompous and arrogant without humility or contrition for having driven the government into 32 trillion dollars of debt. At a minimum they've created distrust and at a maximum may need to be removed from office by force. MUSIC Max Steiner

True Anger
True Anger.In America it's difficult to calculate the real anger in a large number of people. The propagandists use polls to show the approval or disapproval of issues but never the percentage of people willing to commit violence toward the government. It's not enough to say distrust exists because what took place on January 6th wasn't just about the outcome of an election. No it was much deeper than that. Politician's jobs are at risk if armed rebellion starts across this country. Taking control of a broadcast news station could result in marshal law as a reason for our 32 trillion indebted government declaring bankruptcy. MUSIC Ray Anthony, Michael Giacchino, Hans Zimmer

Consuming
Consuming. Few of us understand what it takes to render an animal for our consumption. This country slaughters billion of animals each year and 30 to 40% end up as waste deposited as garbage in landfills. That's nearly criminal if not immoral. Killing animals is a big business. We not only have a dead beat government with 32 trillion dollars in debt, we have a wasteful society. In a grotesque move our U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a company for the growing of chicken cells in a laboratory to produce chicken meat. Independence Day is just around the corner so fire up those Bar B Ques. MUSIC Billie Holiday, Cliff Martinez, Igor Stravinsky, Richard Wagner

Two Deaths
Two Deaths. Ted Kaczynski recently died in prison. The other death was of someone I knew personally who was murdered. One was a convicted murderer of killing 3 people and injuring 23. The other was found shot dead inside a burning Mini Van. His death a homicide. Kaczynski was a child prodigy who ended a career in mathematics to become a killer calling attention to the real threat technology posed to nature. His methods were wrong but his predictions of the future were right. Murder is nothing new but I've never known someone who was murdered. He was Eddie Spann a casualty of Consumerism. MUSIC Philip Glass

Corrupted Capitalism
Corrupted Capitalism. Our politicians like to skip along bragging they're Capitalists plunging our government into 32 trillion dollars of debt. Capitalism is supposed to create wealth but for the last 50 years they've only created debt. They say we're rich cause every child born today owes $92,000. The music keeps going around and around living in the upside down world of corruption, violence, and greed. Don't worry about it cause nobody can stop us. We're rich cause we're in debt and 32 trillion will smell sweet when we skip along with 40 or 50. MUSIC Henry Hall, Ted Lewis, Earl Burtnett, Philip Glass, Marco Beltrami

Our Future Bankruptcy
Our Future Bankruptcy. When the U.S. Federal Government declares bankruptcy you can count on our politicians saying it never happened. However, it's nearly guaranteed. But when the U.S. Federal Reserve texts every Smart phone saying every citizen was getting Crypto Currency deposited in their bank accounts, the Recession, or maybe the Depression, or maybe the Collapse was averted. The U.S. Government won't exist anymore but the military will be in the White House instituting Marshal Law. That's America's future. MUSIC Adriana Casalotti, Larry Moey & Frank Churchill, Thomas Newman, James Brown, Jerry Lee Lewis

Reparations or Gambling
Reparations or Gambling. Our government is bankrupt in lots of different ways and it may take historians years to pass judgements on its moral failures. Reparation isn't going to happen because our government continues to borrow money it doesn't have, let alone paying the ancestors of slaves. Instead the government is creating addiction by on-line gambling on professional and amateur sporting events producing a highly corruptive form of taxation. It'll create slavery. Addiction is slavery: And you thought you were a free people. MUSIC Tina Turner, Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, TheVeils, Bronislav Kaper

CBDC Money
CBDC Money. Make no mistake about it, Central Bank Digital Currency is coming. In fact it's begun in parts of the World already. It's the result of a sovereign nation's financial failures. The use of a nations currency, or cash, is about to be replaced by a country's Central Bank issuing a new form of currency. Politicians or economists refuse to inform their country's population for fear of a panic, but it's beginning. America's Federal Government is bankrupt and eventually the Federal Reserve Bank will issue its own money replacing the U.S. currency. MUSIC Dinah Washington, B.B. & six others, Linda Ronstadt, Dick Powell, Ted Lewis

Biden vs Trump
Biden vs Trump. The coming 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be a memorable event. You have Biden's son, Hunter, being accused of financially profiting because of his father's privileged position with fifty years in government. On the other side you have an expresident, businessman, media personality, Donald Trump, being indicted for alleged crimes. You have Biden, an enabler of the Washington swamp and the other promising to drain the swamp. One a machine politician, the other supported by populism. Prepare for a battle royal. MUSIC Dinah Washington, Tinsel Town Players, Tony Bennett, John Philip Sousa

Woodrow Wilson
Woodrow Wilson. Wilson became the first southern President since the Civil War in 1912. He promised progressivism, but invaded Mexico, intervened in Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Honduras and militarily occupied Nicaragua during his entire presidency. He opposed women's rights to vote and advocated Jim Crow laws against blacks. In 1919 during his second term, he sufferred a paralyzing stroke and his wife secretly conducted the office of the presidency until 1921. Questioning: Who's running the office in the White House today. MUSIC Lloyd Glenn, Perez Prado, Ruth Etting, Jorge Negrete, Amos Mibum

Internal Violence
Internal Violence. This country isn't what it was in 1968. Eliminating the guns won't stop the violence because we've become a dangerous people to ourselves and others. We aren't safer with a Constitutional Right to own a gun. The making and selling of weapons to hurt as many people as possible doesn't make us better. Removing all the guns will not work because what's troubling people won't disappear. If we're a free people, a prosperous people, a righteous people we don't need laws to protect us because that comes from within ourselves. But we're no longer what we once were and we're no longer a healthy people. MUSIC M.C. Hammer, Bobby McFerrin, B.B. King, Dean Martin

The IRS
The IRS. Compliance for paying your tax is done with the IRS. It's well known that a growing percentage of Americans don't pay their taxes and that's why the Inflation Reduction Act includes 80 billion dollars to hire 87,000 new IRS agents. But our government doesn't rely solely on tax collection to fund operations because our U.S. Treasury uses the Modern Monetary Theory to print as much money as it needs to keep things running. With growing distrust more people are paying less, replacing Income Tax with a Consumption Tax, fueling inflation. MUSIC Cream, Jim Morrison, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, George Michaels

515,000 mph
515,000 mph. The Milky Way Galaxy which we're a part of, spins at 515,000 mph.....but we feel like we're standing still. And recently America didn't feel a thing when Russia, Saudi Arabia and several OPEC countries dropped the use of the Petro-Dollar as a means of purchasing crude oil world wide. The Petro-Dollar has lasted for 50 years and it nearly disappeared overnight without even being mentioned. The Chinese Yuan has taken it's place. You might ask yourself why our President spent his Easter weekend at Camp David and not the White House. Something unexpected is coming. MUSIC Ted Lewis, Al Jolson, Ruth Etting, Louis Armstrong, Jack Hylton

Uncertain Future
Uncertain Future. We don't have a Democracy in this country. We have a Corporatocracy. The business of America is business and money talks in the hallways of Washington's Capitol Building. That's how our leaders are elected. But that's the least of our problems. The U.S. dollar is being challenged by the BRICS Alliance. Within the last few weeks, Russia and Saudi Arabia have dropped the use of the Petro-Dollar. Xi Jinping and Putin have signed an agreement for a "New World Order". The Chinese Yuan will now be used as payment for oil by OPEC, ending what was the U.S. control of the sale of oil World wide. MUSIC Hans Zimmer

Treasury Bonds
Treasury Bonds. China holds nearly 1 trillion dollars in U.S. securities. Most of it was bought during the financial banking crisis that began in 2008. By 2011 they had bought 1.5 trillion dollars to stop the bleeding. That debt paid 2% interest when our total Federal debt was 14.9 trillion dollars. The stock market dropped with the Dow Jones Average in 2007 at 16,000 to 6,400 in 2009, Today our Federal debt is over 31 trillion dollars and the Dow Jones is about 32,000 with the Federal Reserve raising interest rates to fight inflation. So why is Janet Yellen going to China? Does China want to sell 1 trillion dollars in Treasury Bonds? MUSIC John Williams,Johann Johannsson, Tyler Bates, Queen & Bowie

Magic Shows
Magic Shows. Now you see it, now you don't. We're living in a fail-safe society. When banks are closed because of bad investments depositors are made whole, and bank officers go without consquences. Sam Bankman-Fried created a 22 billion crypto currency exchange with thousands of investors and it went bust. He was arrested and posted a 250 million dollar bail bond and remanded to live in his parents home in California. The deceptions continue as if they never happened. It's the biggest magic show in history but our future isn't secure. MUSIC Lonnie Johnson & Clara Smith, The Staple Sisters, Blind Willie Johnson, Fred Astaire

23,000 Murders
23,000 Murders. The truth is America is and has been a violent country and it looks like our future will be as well. Some would accuse me of being too subjective when describing our future and I admit I could be getting the facts all wrong. Recently a successful and influential lawyer was found guilty of murdering his wife and son. He also confessed to being an addict and stole millions from his clients. But that won't compare to what will happen when our trained soldiers return from fighting in foreign lands. We'll have serious disillusioned killers here. MUSIC Bernard Herrmann, Henry Jackman, Aan Silvestri, Max Steiner

Complying
Complying. A society paralyzed by its own excesses can only deceive itself for so long before breaking apart. We accuse foreign powers of abusing their populations and that they're run by authoritarian regimes. But we can't claim to be a healthy people when we're distrustful of our own government. It's a sad weakness if we require lots of law enforcement agencies to keep order. That's a sign of a discontented people. We think we can only find contentment by using all forms and methods for making people comply. We've never accepted that something is wrong with the way we're living. MUSIC Mike Post, Bernard Herrmann, Danny Elfman, Otis Rush

Putin's Ambitions
Putin's Ambitions. Americans aren't comfortable with what's taking place in our schools, in our streets, and even in our own homes. Maybe the propagandists can keep the public believing everything is all right, but that can only last for so long until an atmosphere of distrust takes hold. A country willing to enter a war with a strong adversary must be healthy and prepared for sacrifice. America can't commit to a major conflict because of its own internal dysfunction. We're an impotent giant, corrupted by our own demands for wanting more. The selling off of America's resources to pay our debts. MUSIC Jeff Lynn, Sade, Annie Lennox

Capitulating
Capitulating. Putin may believe he has a good reason Russian troops are in Ukraine. Maybe he thinks nobody plays by the rules anyway.He's causing destruction and mayhem but that's nothing new. You see, when he built a multi-billion dollar pipeline to supply oil and gas to Western Europe, to make a profit for the Russian people, he wasn't thinking about war. The war in Ukraine was something different. But when the Nord-Stream II was blown-up, that was an act of war against Russia. So we may be at war with Russia and also China, a war causing America to capitulate because of our financial and mental unfitness. MUSIC Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, Cher
