TRAVESTY

A place called the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame which in name is great but when you look over the list of performers enshrined as such crucial and impactful people in the history of Rock and Roll, you quickly come to WTF?

There is a band that comes to my mind and may I dare “say” hundreds of thousands would agree that is tragically missing from the museum.
There is a band which many a band refers to as inspirational to their own group’s tapestry and foundation of what has made them take the musical road for a lifetime.
There is a band that has songs that are brought in and weaved into movie soundtracks.
There is a band that does not have the nod of a bunch of tossers so they aren’t in what is supposed to be a museum not of Rock and Roll only but TO ROCK AND ROLL.
And lets bring up again that this is the museum that waited until 2013 to give the nod to RUSH.
The band that is missing?

Just a few of the performers that are in the R&R HOF. Yes the R&R HOF that Thin Lizzy is not recognized in:
BEE GEES
HARRY BELAFONTE
THE BLUE CAPS
RUTH BROWN
SOLOMON BURKE
THE CARS
CHICAGO
THE COMETS
THE CURE
THE DELLS
DONOVAN
DUANE EDDY
EURYTHMICS
EMINEM
THE FAMOUS FLAMES
THE FLAMINGOS
FRANKIE LYMON AND THE TEENAGERS
THE GO-GOs
GRANDMASTER FLASH AND THE FURIOUS FIVE
AL GREEN
ALLEN GRUBMAN
GREEN DAY
HEART
THE IMPRESSIONS
WHITNEY HOUSTON
THE ISLEY BROTHERS
WILLIE NELSON
DOLLY PARTON
TRAFFIC
STEVIE WONDER
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND
AND MANY OTHERS

That short list of performers (not knocking them as performers); just providing a baseline. We are really supposed to believe that they each have impacted R&R much more than Thin Lizzy.
REALLY??

What is really happening to America in 2023?

The indictments have nothing to do with Trump. Not really. Conversely, the cover-up of impeachable crimes have nothing to do with Biden.

Don’t kid yourself. Joe Biden is not powerful or smart. He’s barely alive. And that’s the point.

This is a pure exercise in POWER by those who truly *wield* power in our society: The security state.

The ‘security state’ is made up of a constellation of permanent Washington DC apparatchiks who cling to the power center like fossilized barnacles.

The security state *never* puts their names on a ballot. Too dirty. They would not dream of stooping that low.

They are the 𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆

It’s far superior to control who CAN run for office. And who is allowed to WIN that office. And who is allowed to STAY in office (i.e. Nixon & JFK)

Presidents come and go. This system stays the same. The security state system has been in place for more than 70 years. All Presidents kneel. No President crosses them and survives… until the great breaking of the system in 2016.

This was the year the security state was internationally humiliated and proven to be powerless frauds. Paper tigers.

I mean, if Donald Trump beats your anointed Clinton candidate in a landslide AFTER you *rigged* the election against him — you’re powerless.

And the world saw it. And a crisis broke out among this community like never before. They only have power because of projection. And that projection was shattered.

The American people broke this system in 2016 and Trump was our tool. We rejected and laughed in the machines face.

This caused a psychotic break in the machine. A vengeful spite for regular Americans who humiliated them metastasized.

They clawed back power by breaking every rule with a demonic furor and black vengeance.

TODAY is a practice in pure power and a controlled demolition is taking place. If they can’t run the country they’re going to burn the place down.

See this corrupt-as-hell, old diseased, dementia-riddled child predator?

He’s President. We made him President. Just to insult you. We can do this.

See how he never gets prosecuted for his obvious crimes? We can do that. We control “Justice” itself.

See that orange man who hurt us?

He’s facing 1000 years in jail for non-crimes. We made them up. We’re charging the President for “free speech” now. We control “truth” itself.

What are you gonna do about it? Protest? We will throw your grandmother in jail for “protesting.”

Try something smart and we’ll release another virus. Lock you down again. Destroy your neighborhood and stock market and currency.

You, the American people are NOTHING and we the MACHINE are everything.

This is a practice in exercising POWER against the people of America.

A show of force.

Now you know your enemy.

Fight them. While you still can.

“Everything appears to be a cover up,” says the decorated police chief

EXCLUSIVE: Capitol Police Chief Called Jan 6 Events ‘A Cover Up’ in Tucker Carlson Interview HIDDEN By Fox News

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund told then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson that events surrounding the January 6th riots at the U.S. Capitol appear to have been a “cover up,” in never-seen-before footage published exclusively by The National Pulse. In the hour-long interview, Sund laments the behaviors of then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as well as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, who he says had intelligence to suggest problems on Capitol Hill, which they failed to communicate with Sund and his cops on the ground.

Sund explains the events leading up to January 6th, including prior to the incident at the Capitol itself, and the aftermath, appeared to be a “cover up.”

“Everything appears to be a cover up,” says the decorated police chief, explaining that most things to do with his department were political, specifically because he reported to politicians including then Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

The full interview has thus far been hidden from the public at the behest of Rupert Murdoch’s increasingly left-wing Fox News channel

Murdoch unceremoniously fired its prime time host Tucker Carlson allegedly as part of a private settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.

“It sounds like they were hiding the intelligence,” Carlson quizzed, to which Sund stunningly responds: “Could there possibly be actually… they kind of wanted something to happen? It’s not a far stretch to begin to think that. It’s sad when you start putting everything together and thinking about the way this played out… what was their end goal?”

To parents

Lessons I have learned from the recent deaths of both my parents, roughly thirteen months apart (not in the order of significance).

Make sure you have a will with an executor named. Don’t be lazy! When both parents are dead then everything has to be done in probate court under their supervision. It is a stressful thing to do to whomever ends up being the administrator of your estate. You may think “I don’t have anything…” and you would be thinking wrong.
Make sure you have pre-paid and properly documented location for your burial or whatever your choice is for handling your physical body. Make it perfectly clear. If you want a full service and such, make that clear. Designate or write suggestions. Make it clear.
The items that mean something to you, make sure to document whom gets what. Make it clear. (Are you seeing a pattern about this subject).
You are/were the parents so in your death/s lead by example as well. You know the loss of a loved one impacts people so you SHOULD want to help your loved ones manage the responsibilities, grief and sorrow as best as possible.
