John Lennon – Gimme Some Truth

I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
I’ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna Mother Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna Mother Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
Money for dope
Money for rope
I’m sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama’s little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now

I’ve had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna Mother Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
It’s money for dope
Money for rope
Ah, I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

I’ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

My son has to be the coolest kid in the world…

At 16, my son has to be the coolest kid in the world. He follows no one, does his own thing and believes in his own ability to accomplish his goals. He’s not interested in alcohol or drugs which, at sixteen, and especially in this day and age, is amazingly cool.

He’s not fixated on sex. He has a good understanding of what makes a truly good person and he knows bullshit when he hears it, which, sadly, is quite often. But he doesn’t take shit from anyone and is happy to point out to others the shortcomings in their thinking. He’s a good listener and is good about taking in the “facts” and weighing them against logic, reality, and experience; a rarity these days.

He loves to surf and does it for all the right reasons; because it’s healthy, a spiritual experience, and it connects him to the universe in a way nothing else can. He doesn’t talk about his supposed conquests in the water but instead feels enriched and enlivened deep down in his soul. He has no need to brag or prove himself. He just loves the ocean and he knows there’s little that words can accomplish in relating this to others.

He takes nothing at face value and knows that the arbitrary labels, titles, and manufactured images we assign to ourselves and others are meaningless. He knows that people are never what they appear to be or want us to believe they are. He knows they are not what and who they think they are and it doesn’t take him long to see the truth in another’s true being. And he knows we are never what and who we THINK we are, but merely a composite reflection of what we do and say.

On the larger scene, he knows all politicians are liars, that religion is for the hopelessly lost and simple-minded, that most authority figures don’t deserve the least bit of respect, and his elders (our elders and peers are so busy working on their 13-year-old versions of themselves so as to render themselves little more than silly children) better prove to him that their supposed “wisdom” can hold up in the clear light of day.

When I grow up I’d like to be just like my son…

Terrorism Redefined – Be A Mindless American or Else!

CIA‘s Most Wanted

When intelligence and wisdom, freedom and liberty, justice and equality, peace and understanding, true happiness and trust are considered threats to the US Government, you must know the world has turned upside down.

In a world where it’s “take everything you can” and “kill, harass, and surveil” whomever opposes your primitive and obscene need to impose your will and ensure your belligerent and mindless dominance over the world, the collateral damage is more than a thinking man can bear.

So call me a “terrorist” if you must. I aspire to be everything that America isn’t. And that, simply defined is what we all once considered decency. I refuse to sit in the mud with the rest of the piggies and eat, shit and fuck like a mindless animal.

When eating “american” food, listening to a politician or a government official, or any number of his good “friends,” every american should strap a toilet tank on his back and open wide. Flushing is, of course, optional, but not an option most will likely take in their new capacity as a sewer on legs. There’s a reason why the Aussies nicknamed americans after the septic tank. Go yanks go! However, as always americans, it’s not your fault. It’s just that the CIA killed everyone who was worth listening to.

And keep trying to figure out a use for Isaac, Kurt, Garth, Danijel, Hope Chapel in Haiku and the rest of the worthless, spineless, faggots who are still, temporarily, on the payroll. Keyword: Temporarily

Notes On The Depravity of America

My next door neighbors are average Americans. They sit in front of the TV all day and come out every once in a while to regurgitate their vile, depraved, trash like some kind of demented twitter feed. They spew non-sensical shit for about 15 minutes then retreat back to the TV for more brain-washing.

The US military is made up of closet homosexuals who aren’t qualified for anything other than emitting cave man grunts and murdering defenseless women and children. Those guns and tattoos sure do make you look tough though, but you’re not fooling me. Sissies made brave by carrying an M-16.

Please don’t insult my intelligence by suggesting what I should do. I haven’t asked for your, or anyone else’s advice. And don’t kid yourself into thinking that you can make me think otherwise. I’ll know when the coast is clear again. So until then, shut the hell up and keep your bullshit to yourselves, spoken or otherwise.

And further, the US Gov.’t and the average American are nothing but a bunch of lazy, stupid animals and anyone who believes their bullshit is just as depraved and moronic as they are.

Remember when being an American meant something?

Remember when being an American meant something? When we were the most prosperous country in the world and we created things like the Peace Corps to share the wealth and help other countries raise their standards of living? When being an American meant you cared about your neighbors, you cared about your family and you’d take a bullet for your kids.

When was it that being an American became an excuse to be a low-life, uncultured, slob? To do as little as possible to help your fellow man because you’re looking out for number one and “fuck everyone else” became the motto for the day, and everyday? And when was it that being a “Christian” meant fuck everyone all week but shake hands on Sunday?

When was it that everyone decided it was a someone else’s job to pick up trash, fix the environment, feed the homeless, and keep children out of harm’s way?

I don’t think I know a people more self-centered, selfish and sociopathic than the average American. Is there another country with more overweight, under-educated, slovenly, avaricious, greedy, jealous, petty, and simple-minded people as ours?

I grew up in the 70s thinking that we were riding a tide of goodwill that would lead us all to a great understanding of the human condition and an appreciation for all the peoples and cultures of the world. What came out of the 70s was little more than a lower standard for personal hygiene, a lowered standard for inter-personal relationships and a general and belligerent arrogance that just being an American gives you some kind of entitlement to harass, demean and destroy the lives and livelihoods of others. Sure we could blame the government, and believe you me they deserve a goodly part of it, but when it comes down to it, it’s everyone’s responsibility. Accountability and reason are sorely lacking as everyone takes the role of the victim and complains like there’s always someone else to blame.

It’s time to wake up America. The entire country will soon be little more than a trailer park from polluted sea to polluted sea. And unless EVERYONE starts taking personal responsibility for the common good, we will soon cease to be a civilized species and devolve into a primitive state (we’re more than halfway there) which will surely lead to our own demise.

Rise above your animal instincts and become the rightful heirs to the legacy of The Enlightenment and The Renaissance, not a common animal who does little more than eat, shit and fuck. Turn off the idiot box that controls your softened brains and start taking pride in, and ownership of, our world, your world, the only world we will all ever have. No one’s going to fix your problems but you Americans. Surely not politicians who are little more than pathological liars conspiring to make you feel that they’ve got your backs, or government in general and surely as hell not the CIA.

Believe you me, they are among all of us, trying to grind us down, offering you drugs, enticing you with sex and alcohol and whatever else they can to keep you mute. Watch TV commercials for 5 minutes. The government and Madison Avenue are selling us the idea that if you’re getting laid and getting drunk you’ve got it made. And while they’ve got you distracted and otherwise not paying attention, they’re taking away your wages, your TRUE quality of life and, quite literally, your sense of decency, decorum and your compassion for your common man.

Wake up and realize the powers-that-be are conspiring to turn you all into subservient drones. They are everywhere trying to play to what they think is an innate laziness that is fit only for common animals. Don’t be sheep people. Care, love, build, grow, show the world that being an American can mean that we’re the most kind, generous, loving, altruistic and concerned bunch of people the world has ever seen. It’s good to care, it’s human to care, and it’s just plain RIGHT to care.

And sure, I mourn the deaths of men like JFK, RFK, MLK, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Duke Kahanamoku and John Denver but the mourning period has got to end and new idealistic people need to rise to the occasion. There are now far too many examples of what it’s like to be a piece of shit in our society and we’ve got to take the focus off of them.

Read our great writers, watch films that embolden the human condition, listen to music that lifts your spirits to new heights. Take aim at your dreams and bring them into reality. And for once and for all time people, learn again to deserve the respect of others.

One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)

One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)
by Dennis Lambert & Brian Potter, performed by The Original Caste (1970)
This song was performed by Jinx Dawson and Coven in the movie “Billy Jack” (1971)

Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
‘Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They’d have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won’t be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after….
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they’d kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
“With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there.”

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won’t be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after….
One tin soldier rides away.

Now the valley cried with anger,
“Mount your horses! Draw your sword!”
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it…
“Peace on Earth” was all it said.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won’t be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after….
One tin soldier rides away.

Homeland Idiocy: Dear John – A Love Note To The CIA

Arch Nemesis The Julian Day

Dear John Brennan,

Please come and pick up your children from your daycare facility in my neighborhood. Kurt and Danijel and the rest are quite lonely there and are completely ineffectual and boring. Sissy girls long to be with other sissy girls and you’re wasting taxpayer money by keeping them in the “field.” It’s time to get’em all back to Langley for potty training. You all really need to grow up and, because of this, I will be placing everyone in a sort of timeout until they have something to say worth listening to.

Everyone come down to 1325 Lower Main in Wailuku to see what a CIA agent is really like. You’re guaranteed to be disappointed at how unlike Jason Bourne they are, but brace yourself for a good laugh.

Finally, I just have to say, “REALLY John, is that how it is?” What a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Mahalo Nui Loa,

Phil

PS. CIA Motto: “If you’re clueless or completely useless, we’ve got a job for you.”

CIA RECRUITMENT:

*Must be closet LGBT and have an IQ less than 30 to apply. Belief in God/Santa Claus and the children’s stories of the Bible are a definite plus. Possession of anger issues and an inferiority complex are almost a guarantee for being hired.  Upon acceptance you’ll receive several free t-shirts and a fun license plate.

And don’t forget, we live by the saying, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”  We are the very definition of redundant and stupid. Boo-yah!

Hey Baby, Looking for a Good Time? We Can Play War games

Washington’s Latest Bitch

Hey Baby, Looking for a Good Time? We Can Play War games
Kerry lands in South Korea amid North Korea’s nuclear threats

CNN ‎- 22 minutes ago
U.S. Secretary of State (translation: US Secretary of The Military Industrial Complex) John Kerry arrived in South Korea on Friday for a trip likely to focus on North Korea’s recent nuclear threats… blah, blah, blah

You’ve got to wonder how much the CIA is paying Kim Jong-un to be their latest Nemesis/Bitch. We ran out of real villains in 1945. Probably should’ve milked Osama Bin Laden for another 20 years.

All they need now is a stripper pole and a bubble machine and the American public will be eating this up like American Idol complete with sob stories, family drama and plenty Coca Colas, Milwaukee’s Best and Marlboro Reds. Hell-yeah! She’s, I mean, he’s got my vote!

Meanwhile you all go ahead and drive around in circles, chase your tails and be afraid of your own shadows. I’m gonna have a nap. You’re boring the hell out of me and I can’t understand why you aren’t bored with yourselves too. Drones in misery love company I guess. No matter how ridiculous you all look. I’m your huckleberry.

Love You Long Time…

Internetgate And Another Two Bite The Dust

A little birdy told me today that one of my heroes is likely on the US payroll.

Yes, even the Dalai Lama has a hidden agenda. Can you say “Deflect from the real issues?”

I’m now officially an atheist.

And then there’s Reverbnation.com. Be careful musicians, they’re most likely syphoning your profits.

If you’re an activist artist (musician, painter, etc.) opposed to the tyranny of the US Gov.’t AND you have your art for sale online, please beware. I’ve heard the CIA can use the Patriot Act or some other such “legal” means to syphon off your profits if they perceive you to be a THREAT (tongue in cheek) to the American Status Quo.

I sure do miss John Lennon, Bob Marley, John Denver, Kurt Cobain and Michael Jackson.

Michael was working on what would have been one of the greatest Peace and Love Tours of all time. Kind of inconvenient to the war-mongers in the CIA and the Pentagon.

Originally a young astronomer named Norrin Radd on the planet Zenn-La, he saved his homeworld from the planet devourer,Galactus, by serving as his herald. Imbued in return with a tiny portion of Galactus’s Power Cosmic,^[1] Radd acquired vast power, a new body and a surfboard-like craft on which he could travel faster than light.
