Due to an error, there are still a few of you left alive

 
Trying to ignore whatever society 
is desperate to sell me...
I am, 
going to be lecturing below--
be prepared...

Prior to discussing the bullshit that surrounds
us in the world--
here are three links to articles displaying how
no matter what--
We can still be good humans--
Five marines
climbing Mt. Fuji off duty..
Rescued a Japanese woman climber who 
became ill and carried her down the mountain..
without assistance from local authorities..
You without a doubt skimmed over this news report
but take a moment to truly take it in..
An entire family was drowning in a dangerous
rip tide in Florida when people on the beach
formed a human chain (80 people)
to rescue them unassisted by authorities.
People form human chain rescue gulf of mexico
Let that just sink in for a moment..
A guy plays the guitar for a day old rescued
Rhino so it can lay down and sleep--
You need to see this..
These are just regular people in the above articles..
being simply good humans--

Walmart has been silently closing stores...
Many have pointed out the damage created to communities
by focusing only on giant retailers..
who purposefully destroy the local retail economy.
No one wished to discuss what would happen
when the only remaining place to go
closes, overnight,
at the first dip in profits.. 
leaving the community with zero viable economics
and with the HUGE, useless buildings that these 
corporations just walk away from..
The below link is an excellent article on the closure of
a Walmart in rural West Virginia--
and the subsequent results--
What happened when walmart left

Hobby Lobby's 
 owner
David Green..
is a religious fanatic,
anti-abortion, ultra political conservative..
 You may remember from a few years
ago Hobby Lobby was sued because they
 refused to provide employee insurance that had any
possibility of birth control.
Mr. Green also refuses to have his stores stock any
holiday material not Christian in origin?
(but of course shit made by Chinese Slave labor is fine)
Well--
David Green used his corporation to buy
stolen antiquities from Iraq..
and other conflict areas in the middle east
he's also purchased mummy's to "read"
their wrappings...
Green's purpose was two fold--
Part of the plan was to build a bible museum
reflecting his own strange religious beliefs...
The second was to prove his really really strange beliefs,
through these stolen antiquities... 
that there is all sort of bizarre, secret shit
 hidden away in/on the bible 
in "lost" biblical writings--? 
A minor problem comes in with the whole
stolen part--in regards to these antiquities...
The FBI investigated Hobby Lobby/Green for over 3 years--
but since Green used his corporation as a
purchasing agent--
Green, personally, faces no, zip, zero charges..
on receiving stolen property..
Hobby Lobby INC. has been fined---
So, in the US, corporations are people--
except for those occasions when their
bizarre CEO's could go to jail?
Funny how that works?
It is also funny how the non-taxed profits from corporations
like Hobby Lobby, 
according to Republicans,
are supposed to trickle down to us--?
Creating new jobs--blah blah blah--
But in truth these non-taxed profits,
wind up being used for insane bullshit like this?
Oh yeah--much better to have a bible museum 
and a ton of stolen artifacts than having the
potholes filled and infra-structure repaired..
right?

The G-20 met..
G20
This year's meeting was in Hamburg Germany..
I am sort of confused as to why Trump
went--?
The G20 is a meeting of the world's 
20 "advanced economies" 
along with their banker bosses?
I really don't think we in the US make
 that "advanced"cut any longer?
The G20 is all fun, games and photo ops until somebody
gets their eye put out by European Anarchist's
Black Blocks--
Who showed up to express the world's
displeasure with these economies and their leadership.
The Black Blocs attempt to prevent 
'business as usual' for the world's
ultimate 1%ers.
European Black Blocs are pro's at this--
The Hamburg police had call for re-enforcements!
That black smoke rising above Hamburg 
wasn't a signal that the G20 attendees elected a pope..
American Anarchist Black Blocs aren't slouches either
they recently kicked the shit out of American Nazi's
Black Bloc attacks US Nazi's
at the Nazi's own little alt-right rallies..
Hamburg is already shut down and the meeting hasn't started yet..
G20 dystopian-nightmare-security-disunity-politics
According to news reports Ms.Trump was unable
to leave her hotel to take part in multiple social functions
due to her location being surrounded by..
"Angry and agile Anarchists" ?
(i like the agile description!)
Melania Trump trapped in hotel by protesters
Looking out her hotel window
 She could see the future..
But they are all blind...

My wife had an excellent idea...
 manufacture a 
decent stereo system from components
 and materials
we already had on hand?
We've been using ad-hoc music set ups since 
we moved in years ago--?
Don't ask why?
So
I dug our old stereo equipment out of storage--
some worked, some did not--
What i could I repaired, cleaned, re-organized and
then built rack wall shelves
 to house our
music library and equipment...over four days.
The end result---
I still have to repair and set up the reel to reel, 
 dig out my RtoR tape supply and perhaps add an
additional pair of speakers i repaired--
 but within reason
and allowing minor for adjustments
 this project is completed.

I lost my Weather Report 830 cd somehow?
One of my favorite Jazz cd's.
8:30
Luckily I found a reissue double LP
which also contains tracks not on the cd release.


On DVD--
This film, LIFE, was truly scientifically scary!!
If you think the plot of this film is all bullshit?

Phht. Yeah, he's always pulling that....

 
I am going to Republican bash below---
I hate to--
I wish i didn't have to--
but literally...the shit they pull
 gives me no choice...?

If you actually read this thing routinely--
no change---
I have fallen so far behind the curve on my projects, 
house cleaning, guitar practice and yard work
I have no concept of where to begin to
catch up?

This is why cops make fun of firemen...

It was just announced,
in small print of course...
That US banks passed their Government "stress tests"
and are now free to invest as before the crash
and pump big money back to their investors in dividends--
Of course the "stress tests" were overseen by
former bankers now serving in the Government.
US banks of course pass stress tests
This new policy allows the huge banks to immediately begin
fucking us over ONCE AGAIN...

Chris Christie's 
bullshit Republican trickle down economics caused New Jersey
to close down this weekend...
But while the public beaches were closed for the "little people"
He spent the day at the beach....
Chris Christie sunbathes while Jersey is closed...?
At least he is being honest telling the
world that he doesn't give a shit about anything..
We sit idle, while Christie and those like
him have taken it all....
To add insult to injury,
literally----
 here is a link to
 an Evangelic choir 
singing the recently written--
Trump is great
theme song--?
At Trumps July 4th rally..
Until you hear it you won't believe it...
Some things are just way too strange.....

Nevada legalized weed for recreation
JULY 1st--
Nevada recreational marijuana goes on sale
At least one thing goes right 
within our whirlpool national strangeness?
Hopefully Jeff Sessions will have a stroke?

This is just awesome...
awesome...
If you wind up dying, of lack of medical care
 from the 
"kill the eaters"
Republican health plan...
This company will ship your ashes to your 
Congressional Republican Representative.
I think this is just a hysterical example 
of our fucked-up-ed-ness....
Sony is going to start making LP's again...
Sony claims it is due to a renewed demand for LP's.
I believe it's because you cannot use digital
media as lap-support to roll a joint?
Since my wife and I just ordered a new turntable
Sony may be right?

On DVD
