DO YOURSELF A FAVOR...
Hover over the play button with your cursor.
Push play and close your eyes, use only your ears.
Enjoy,

It's 4:38am....
You are in that half sleep realm of rising from the subconscious knowing the alarm is most
likely going to go off soon. As you lay silent hoping for another hour, you suddenly feel
the presence.
Someone is staring intently at you. Do you move? Do you crack a sleepy eye?
The power is strong and it calls to you.
The power is hungry and needs to be fed.
The power is... a pain in the ass.

"Rich Men North Of Richmond"
I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away
It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is
Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond
I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
And the obese milkin' welfare
Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them
down
Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is
Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond
I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay

My Covfefe Rabbit Hole and There Is No Way Of Fixing What's Coming.....
Bear with me the rabbit hole slide was fast and deep.......
Grabbing my covfefe this morning and easing into the email folders I had a 'latest distribution' email from
"Doug / Uncola at The Toll On Line" << . Here he wrote about the irony of past and present
phenomena comparing the not so distant past with today's 'new normal'.
On a side note, I will probably go see Oppenheimer as well.
When spelunking rabbit holes, I will always scroll the comments for
nuggets of gold and pursue those as well.
Jim, over at The Burning Platform will always host The Toll Online offerings at his site.
Uncola had The link in his the comments so I stopped over to TBP.
Having read the article at Doug's, I scrolled down to the comments section.
This comment caught my eye and was concise and hit home:
Holy shit. If that comment in and of itself doesn't describe everything that people with open
eyes are seeing in our current administration and daily bombardment from all sides.
*grabs more cofefe*
Search for Gaius Baltar. ( For those that know the name, I was never a fan of that show so I
had no idea who it was). The results didn't lead to anything so I searched the quote itself.
The top search was this twitter post. The second search led back to The Burning Platform.
I hit the twitter link first to see what that was about.
No alert observer of world affairs would have failed to note the dumbing down that has gripped the West in recent decades. It applies not only to the general population but also the ruling classes.

A problem of education, to be sure. But it's also one of ideology gone rampant.… pic.twitter.com/xihFXCtGOi
That post led to this one at SONAR21 which is also the one submitted by Hardscrabble Farmer at
The Burning Platform. ( from google search above ).
There is where I found the quote and the attribution to Gaius Baltar.
The best way to suppress a rational person is to subject him to an existence of total and constant irrationality. It is essentially gaslighting on a civilizational scale, directed at the dangerous rational group.
The article is long but well worth reading imho.
It exposes the direction we are heading and the reason for the current state of idiocracy many of
us are seeing or experiencing.
Currently there are 235 comments at sonar 21 ... I have to return to those later for more
rabbit hole adventures.
Enjoy the day.
