Those at the top have this great disconnect

They’ve got no conception of all that they’ve wrecked

The treasure they’ve wasted and the lives that they lost

They don’t think in terms of the actual cost

They live in palaces we live in graves

And over it all that old glory waves

A symbol that no longer means what is right

But rather an empire that’s saying goodnight

One of these days we’ll hit the reset button

And then just like that like all of a sudden

The power and influence of the oligarchy

Will all fall apart and we’ll finally be free

We’re gonna go hit that reset button

Nothin’s gonna stop us no not nothin’

The oligarchs just wanna eat us like mutton

So we’re gonna go press that reset button

It’s hard to resist feeling somewhat depressed

That the truth has been nearly completely suppressed

The fourth estate must get up out of their hole

Not spread propaganda designed for control

One thing that I know is they’re not going quietly

They’ll try to stay by means probably violently

You mustn’t be frightened to stand up for what’s right

Or let them deceive you to betray the light

One of these days we’ll hit the reset button

And then just like that like all of a sudden

The power and influence of the oligarchy

Will all fall apart and we’ll finally be free

Will we be forgotten by our future history

Or will we as humans access our nobility

Will we have courage and foresight to see

That we will as a species be finally free

We are the prophets of anonymous

The depth of our resolve is clearly bottomless

The cabal tries to stop us but it’s hopeless

We will liberate the world from all their evil darkness

They can snuff out men but not the light

They can stop a few of us and find our numbers multiplied

We will stand up proud for what is right

And send the cabal whimpering and off into the night

We are the prophets of anonymous

It’s not for the glory but it’s for the good of all of us

We don’t feel the need to seek the spotlight

It’s enough for us to know that we are on the side of right

Our power is strong and our numbers are legion

We hail from every walk of life and come from every region

We aren’t going to back down from the fight

We are not going to rest until the victory of the light

We are the prophets of anonymous

We are all responsible, each and every one of us

If we’re jailed, killed, ignored, or fought

The fact remains that they’ll defeat exactly none of us

The new world order is about to retire

They cannot sleep at night and so they all are really tired

Their dreams are of quicksand in which they are mired

Then hordes of Guy Fawkes’s throw them in the fire

We are the prophets of anonymous

If one thing in the world is true it’s that they never will defeat us

You can kill a person not ideas

They cannot stop the viral spread of all of our ideas

We are the prophets of anonymous

Opposing evil everywhere and all across the world

Wrenching power out of the hands of the powers that were

To ensure better lives for all the planet’s boys and girls

Wrote this today.  I really wish I could make the sounds I heard in my head while writing this a reality, but in lieu of that,  until such time as that becomes possible - here are the words.

Damn, look at that – they’re at it again

Seems as though this madness isn’t ever gonna end

It can’t be only greed that is the culprit

The hate is being spewed at them now straight out of the pulpit

All these institutions where the hatred is enshrined

No one seems to notice that the world has lost its mind

The crazy is now nearly universal

Mindlessly they soak it up like some insane commercial

Is there hope

I don’t know

Maybe they’ll get turned around

Before the sucker blows

Is there hope

Maybe so

If they don’t we’ll shrug and say

Well that’s the way it goes

There’s no making sense out of the nonsense

The mass of crazy grown and now its gravity’s intense

You’ll never wrap your head around all of the insanity

There’s no end to the bottomless depths of human inhumanity

Where’s the hope of spreading any wisdom

If anytime it’s spoken it’s shouted down that it is dumb

If they can’t find a way to stop this madness

They’ll live their short and hateful lives immersed in total sadness

Is there hope

I don’t know

Maybe they’ll get turned around

Before the sucker blows

Is there hope

Maybe so

If they don’t we’ll shrug and say

Well that’s the way it goes

We are the ones that we have been waiting for

It doesn’t make sense to delay anymore

Space men will not simply out of the blue

Magically appear and ride to our rescue

It’s time to transcend the lazy and cowards

Now is the time that we take back our power

We can decide to live in peace love and harmony

With each other with nature and all of humanity

I know we can do it                                                                 Chorus

So let’s get off the couch and get ourselves in it

I know we will do it

I know it’s our destiny that we will win it

I know we can do it

I know we will do it

The day has arrived and it’s time to begin it

All of existence is not superficial

It’s only this reality that’s artificial

Did you hear the untouchables that enslave us all scream

They’re terrified that we’ll awaken from their dream

Space men will not simply out of the blue

Magically appear and ride to our rescue

We are the ones that we have been waiting for

It doesn’t make sense to delay anymore

Chorus

Captain Watson vanquished the old Nissin Maru

And Captain Kirk defeated Kobiyashi Maru

So nothing’s ever hopeless there’s something we can always do

And you must realize the secret is that it all begins with you

So if you see the mayor or your rep, get set to throw your shoes

If you think about it really what have you got left to lose

You must realize the secret is that it all begins with you

So if you see the mayor or your rep, throw your shoes

I’ve learned a lot lately, and i noticed something strange.  It seems that I feel the more I learn, the less I know.  I realized that as one proceeds toward omniscience, they likely feel gradually more like a newborn baby.  A tabula rasa.  A blank slate.  Because before all the observations, categorizations, and extrapolations of human existence, a baby knows only one thing.  Not by experience, but by instinct.  Love.

Well, it appears as though we dodged a bullet.  I’ve never been happier in my life to be wrong.  Like I said in the lyrics to Magic Beans:

Yes I do believe there is still a chance

This is not certain to be the last dance

But I cannot do this all on my own

So get off of your ass and go pick up a stone

And come out in masses and take to the streets

And throw all those rocks at those liars and cheats

Get off the couch man, get out there and fighting

I know they can’t beat us if we stand united

I know they can’t beat us if we stand united

I know they can’t beat us if we stand united

But it is certain that our race will be run if the convince everyone that they’ve already won.

If they convince everyone that they’ve already won

If they convince everyone that they’ve already won

We can’t let them convince everyone that they’ve already won!!!

Tonight, America we stood united and now nobody is convinced they’ve won.  I’ve never been prouder of you, or prouder to fly my American flag in front of my house.

Tomorrow, the work of reconciliation begins.  I’m looking forward to the challenge, and to enlightening the wisdom-challenged among us.  Onward and upward my brothers and sisters.

So, here we are. It has come down to this.  One more day, and supposedly the uncertainty will end.  All the incessant mudslinging and subterfuge that have darkened our days for these past many months, is scheduled to end tomorrow.  And tonight, the night before election night, I’m not convinced that will be the case.  Whichever way it goes tomorrow, the polarization of our country is not going to end overnight.  I predict sadly, that it will only get worse.

I do not believe that tomorrow’s election will take place without significant fraud.  And I don’t mean the non-existent ‘voter fraud’ that the right loves to cite to justify making voting more difficult for elderly, minorities, and students.  What we’ll have is election fraud, the kind undertaken by those sworn to protect the integrity of the process.  In the states of Ohio and Florida, Supervisors of Elections and Secretaries of State are poised to follow in the footsteps of Ken Blackwell and Katherine Harris, and deliver this election to Romney, regardless of the will of the people.

I’ve heard many say that it doesn’t matter who wins.  We’re screwed either way.  I disagree.  I know that there are many things Obama has done, and things he has not done, which have soured the progressive community’s view of him.  I could not bring myself to vote for him, instead choosing to be an idealist and voting for Jill Stein, but to say that there’s no difference between them is absurd.  We know what the last four years have looked like, and while Guantanamo remains open, Bradley Manning and Julian Assange are still persecuted, Wall Street continues to run amok, and The Fed continues to print money, to not realize that what Romney would bring would be far worse is criminally stupid.

There are a great many ways in which a Romney presidency would change America, and none of them are for the better.  Imagine if you will, an America where the wildest dreams of the plutocrats were allowed to come to life.  We would have no more meaningful environmental protections.  We would open our national parks and our coastlines to unregulated drilling for oil.  We would have no collective bargaining or unions.  We would have no minimum wage laws, or child labor laws.  We would have no food inspection standards from the USDA or FDA, nor any assurance whatsoever that what the companies fed us wouldn’t poison us.   We would see the end of women’s reproductive rights and the end of equal marriage rights for same sex couples.  Universal healthcare would be dismantled entirely.  What little financial regulation took place would be shelved, and the banksters would be given carte blanche access to plunder whatever they felt like.  The entire social safety net for the poor would be dismantled, from Medicare and Medicaid, to Social Security and food stamp programs.  War with Iran and Syria would be certain, and also certain would be the complete disregard for civil liberties, and draconian penalties for dissent.  This is what we have to look forward to under a Romney presidency.

It seems to me as though the media machine has not quite succeeded in convincing half the voters through their slimy (and quite successful) propaganda that the Bilderbergers’ sycophant and all of these changes would be good for the country.  Thankfully for them, they never really had to.  The fix has been in all along.  Most people don’t realize that the integrity of the American electoral system has been severely compromised for at least a dozen years.  The only difference between now, and what happened in 2000 and 2004, is that a great many more people have awakened and know about the fraud.  While the majority still won’t want to believe it, as is obviously human nature, there are many who will not stand idly by and let this happen.  I count myself among them.

I don’t know what the future holds for us tomorrow.  All I can say for certain is that this must not be allowed to happen.  If these plutocrats succeed in attaining all their goals, all will be lost.  If things go tomorrow as I fear they may, Wednesday could be the day many of us go to war.  Let’s hope that isn’t necessary.  It is not now too late for us humans to transcend this reality and ascend to something far better.  We can get through all this animosity and partisanship and begin to work together toward our common goals.  We can begin to heal the artificial divides thrust upon us by the oligarchs to keep us divided against each other.  But we cannot do that under a Romney presidency.  It really just comes down to tomorrow.  One more day.  Don’t screw this up America.  The world, and humanity itself lies in the balance.
