Something pretty big happened on July 1st. Shinedown (a major rock band that debuted in the early 2000's with over 5.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, for those who don't know) released a concept album entirely focused on the events of the last couple of years. Can I recommend an unofficial multiplier that everyone go stream (or even purchase) the new album, even if you aren't necessarily a fan of their style?

Some sample lyrics:

"Hip, hip, hip hooray

Yeah, the world is a stage

Where you can act out loud and rattle the cage

And remove any doubt that you're enraged

Like a fool, I guess, at the end of the day

You might be woke but not awake"

"All hail, power to the people

Except you, you check the box we don't like"

"We've had enough of all these pointless points of view

Just cash the checks, you'll never have to tell the truth"

Perhaps my favorite:

"We don't need supervision

We don't want your religion

Too many cooks in the kitchen

And now we know

You don't know what you're doing

You don't care who you ruin

Just keep the fantasy moving

It's a hell of a show"

Some sample interludes:

"Welcome to Planet Zero. Planetary regulations require that you check your screens for a list of all approved speech, protected classes, and accepted behaviors. We hope that you enjoy your stay."

"We hope that you are enjoying your stay. We're always here to provide you with standardized experiences, as well as state-approved entertainment and re-education. Please remember, planetary regulations require that you provide clean papers upon request by any and all authorities. Thank you."

It gets better. I don't want to spoil all the surprises.

Love Sully! Looking forward to seeing Shinedown at Rocklahoma in September. One of the few, besides Five Finger Death Punch (check out Living the Dream from 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOkkWIOkWl8) with the balls to call this crap out. And beware those who are offended by profanity, but Kid Rock has a new anthem, very catchy: We the People: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyFnLqJx-uU

Artistic Intelligence is superior to Artificial Intelligence. It's this profound human trait that renders transhumanist buffoons like Gates obsolete. Moody Blues drop a ton of clues back in the day...the Threshold of a Dream(1969) intro posed the question of AI vs Human consciousness: First Man:

Therefore I am!

Of course you are, my bright little star...

I've miles and miles of files

Pretty files of your forefather's fruit

And now to suit our great computer

You're magnetic ink!

First Man:

I'm more than that

I know I am...

At least, I think I must be

Inner Man:

There you go, man

Keep as cool as you can

Face piles of trials with smiles

It riles them to believe

That you perceive

The web they weave...

And keep on thinking free

Somehow I fear what will come after Boris. While he instituted the worst of the covid measures, he also was one of the first, if not the first, western leaders to lead his country out of the dystopia that is covid.

The covidians are not beaten, not by a long shot. There is still clamor for vaccines, endless boosters and mandates for kids. The fact that Eric Adams wants to force NYC kids says a lot about how much support such measures have. Then, masks. They just won't die. And I see them coming back in places because even now people still intuitively think they "help"

RE: masks...yesterday, while flying to Hawaii, the Karen sitting behind me, double masked of course, lectured her poor son (13ish) when he did not immediately put his mask back on after drinking some water...”keep your mask on! You will get sick! It’s just too dangerous! Remember that I love you!”

A Revolution of Consciousness is the only answer. New York is a center of the Covid Cabal. Flee with your children!

Mass Refusal To Comply would also be effective. . These are evil people. The mRNA shots kill. Do not be fooled; Dr. Zev Zelenko saved thousands of lives with his protocol---New York deprived him of the medicine which he used to do that. The entire administration is in the hands of those who accept such behavior.

Half of New York has already fled the tyranny.(an exaggeration, yes, but you get my drift.) Staying there is begging to go the way of Sodom and Gomorrah in my view. Evil kills.

It just occurred to me that the insane extremes of the left, in places like New York and California, may just have hopefully expected a percentage of emigration, spreading their liberal agenda throughout the country, especially into Red states. Between illegal immigrants freely flowing across southern border and being moved about the country in the dark of night, mainly to red states or red districts in blue states, and census shenanigans, progressive plans to take over the country from within appear to be moving full steam ahead and the brakes have been disabled.

I noticed a federal courthouse has the mask requirement banner on its webpage. I thought the ruling from Florida's federal court did away with the fed's masking mandate. Was that only for airlines? If it works on planes, can't it work in buildings? Are we going to have to suffer a thousand cuts for each bit of relief from government over-reach? Seems so.

But more than the never-ending useless masking, something more insidious might be found in the slow, quiet roll of "Real ID" - the "voluntary" alternative to the state driver's license. They will be necessary as of May 3, 2023. The Real ID "allows" access to government buildings and airports, access which once unquestionably belonged to Americans - before 9/11, the NDAA, and the birth of DHS. It seems mask requirements are on a level with Real IDs, nudging people slowly into the loss of their freedoms.

Every day we move closer to the prison of digital ID. Please say No. Don't take the free candy or grab the shiny ring - there's a nasty barbed hook hiding there. "Travelers who do not present a REAL ID-compliant license or acceptable alternative beginning May 3, 2023 will not be permitted through the security checkpoint." https://www.dhs.gov/real-id/real-id-faqs

You should be able to walk into a federal building without showing ID, even it this means going through a metal detector. This was once a basic right as an American.

Real ID is most likely logged into a reporting/tracking system. If you're comfy with that idea, that's your choice, but many of us prefer to be outside the radar and not have every little visit be logged, studied, and perhaps used against us in the future.

A few years ago I saw a documentary about Ancient Rome, written and presented by Boris Johnson. It was very interesting; and made me realize what an intelligent and erudite man he was. Ever since, I have been puzzled by his insistence on presenting himself as an oafish buffoon. It is definitely a persona; not the real man. Early in 2020 I saw him swivel on a dime, suddenly going for lockdown, literally a day after he was all for herd immunity. I could tell he had been nobbled; the change was so dramatic. I don't think he ever believed in lockdowns personally and I wonder who is really running the show. I am not a fan of Boris Johnson, but I fear his replacement.

What I wanna know is why is it only NOW that the smart people in NATO are figuring out that China is a threat?

My mama taught me when I was a young kid that China {and the then Soviet Union} was a threat. I’ve grown up with a strong distrust of the Chinese government, and I recall at some point wondering why we as a country chose to purchase so much of our stuff from them? Didn’t seem exactly wise to become reliant on our ENEMY for stuff, or to give them our hard earned dollars.

So if I knew that as a kid, why is NATO only now arriving at that conclusion. So strange.

Unhealthy North American plebes & corporate slaves need to be fed a lot of cheap unhealthy food.

Due to much of our younger (and elderly) populace "living" on below poverty line wages & many being dependent on government "programs" (stamps, currently "digitized") or government cheques (directly deposited) they require cheap "goods".

Thanks in very large part to Wal-Mart: North America factories became unable to produce the same type of uber cheap Dollar Store and Wal-Mart/Target Market "goods", due to "minimum wage" standards.

Every other large North American retailer, in order to be able to marginally "compete" with Wal-Mart and "All Our Crap is Made In China" Stores, were forced to purchase crap (and move the manufacturing of crap) to 3rd World Countries who have no such "minimum" standards.

Some "higher end" retailers have "more discerning" clientele. Their shoppers drive High Ticket vehicles and wouldn't be caught dead buying the SAME EXACT CRAP being sold in a Dollar Tree, albeit under different "branding" and packaging, in poor people stores.

At double & triple the Crapmart & Great Canadian Stupidstore & Chinada Tire store pricepoints.

Which is how North America (Wal-Mart et al) caused one of the "shifts".

They aided & abetted China, who has now got us ALL by the short and curlies.

That's just the way I see it though, and have done my level best to BOYCOTT all concerned, since 2001.

Re Johnson, It's not actually the case that only top people in the party knew about this; a very close friend of mine worked for the Conservative party at a relatively low level, albeit in Westminster, seven or eight years ago, and it was well known to him and to everyone he knew at that time.

Pincher had his name on a list of MPs to be wary of which was widely shared, and surprisingly long. It is genuinely inconceivable that virtually all of the Parliamentary lobby journalists were not aware of his record; the real question is why this has come up now when it could've come up at any point since Johnson became leader. I don't really have an answer for that.

But he has gone for two reasons.

The first is that he is regarded as a liar and a buffoon (which he largely is) but is still somehow popular with a lot of ordinary British people. This creates jealousy among other politicians who are widely despised.

The second and most important reason is that he is seen as the main proponent of Brexit; now that he has been removed, there will be a great push to reverse Brexit.

While it is true that he did bring in lockdowns, there was a great deal of pressure over here in the UK last Christmas to introduce them again and he resisted that.

I did not like him – though I voted for him, and I am a fervent supporter of Brexit – but my great fear is that he will be replaced by someone who will lock us down (or attempt to, no fucker is going to lock me down) when our appalling health service starts to collapse under the weight of this nasty cold and all the injuries done to people by the bogus jabs.

Keep up the good work, C&C is a daily must-read in my house.
