[Upcoming at\u00a0Lulu.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n[Editor\u2019s note:<\/strong>\u00a0Jim Fetzer with Stew Peters on the JFK PSYOP\u00a0<\/a><\/em>(click here)]<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/picture>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n\nForeword<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\nThis interview was conducted in 1968 at the Hungry i in San Francisco by a reporter for Argo, a local magazine, with comedian Mort Sahl:<\/h4>\nArgo<\/strong>: Why is the truth behind the assassination of President Kennedy the last chance of America for its survival?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: Because the evidence developed by District Attorney Garrison indicates that certain people had to take President Kennedy\u2019s life in order to control ours. In other words, as Richard Starnes of the New York World-Telegram said, the shots in Dallas were the opening shots of World War III.<\/p>\nThere\u2019s been a great change in this country since Kennedy. I\u2019m afraid a great deal of our hope was interred with his remains.<\/p>\nArgo<\/strong>: What is the long, hard night that America must go through that you\u2019ve spoken of?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: She has to go through a period of the military and the CIA with a blank check trying to sell fascism. If she can hang on long enough, Americans may yet live in the country in which they were born. And that is the country structured by Tom Paine and Tom Jefferson.<\/p>\nArgo<\/strong>: What is the renaissance following this long, hard night, that you\u2019ve also spoken about?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: We\u2019ll start pursuing the American dream again.<\/p>\nI don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll ever realize it, but we\u2019re supposed to have the right to pursue it. And that\u2019s what this country is.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s an active exercise in man reaching his upper limit, as they used to say in the math department.<\/p>\nAnd the renaissance will be that a groundswell of public opinion will flush out the rascals because the CIA has infiltrated every area of our national life. I\u2019m afraid that the country they subverted best was the United States, be they in the various right-wing churches or be they in the Dallas Police Department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nClown World<\/h1>\n\nWhat kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek?<\/p>\nNot a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war.<\/p>\nNot the peace of the grave or the security of the slave.<\/p>\nI am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace<\/p>\nthat makes life on earth worth living,<\/p>\nthe kind that enables men and nations to grow and<\/p>\nto hope and to build a better life for their children \u2014<\/p>\nnot merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women\u2014<\/p>\nnot merely peace in our time but peace for all time.<\/p>\n\u2014 President John F. Kennedy<\/p>\nCommencement address at American University<\/p>\nJune 10, 1963<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\nPadlock the door and board the windows<\/p>\nPut the people in the street<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s just my job, \u201d he says \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\nAnd draws a check, goes home to eat<\/p>\nBut at night he tells his woman<\/p>\n\u201cI know I hide behind the laws.\u201d<\/p>\nShe says, \u201cYou\u2019re only taking orders.\u201d<\/p>\nThat\u2019s how every empire falls<\/p>\n\u2014 John Prine<\/p>\nFrom the Clown World Program page on the KDWI Radio Station website:<\/h4>\n\u201cI believe in opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone \u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n\u2014 Crash Davis,\u00a0Bull Durham<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThat\u2019s not quite what we believe at the Clown World Program.<\/p>\nWe believe that Crash Davis believes what he believes because he has been brainwashed by American newspapers and American culture.<\/p>\nWe believe there is so much more \u2026 so much more \u2026 that Americans live on lies, subsist on lies, but it\u2019s not really living.<\/p>\nYour brother-in-law, Brad, tries to send you to Siberia with a roll of his eyes at the Thanksgiving adult big table because you have dared to ask one of the taboo questions about 9\/11, or the moon, JFK, Sandy Hook, Boston, but you, because you listen to this radio show, know that you are not alone and that you have a right to ask any question you want.<\/p>\nAnd so, that\u2019s how it\u2019s going to go from now on. \u2026<\/p>\nJust as they said in the fake anthrax letters, they want us to be afraid, those murderers who are in the same house with us but we are not afraid.<\/p>\nWe will ask any question we want, and in the end truth will win out and peace will break out as the empire crumbles. \u2026<\/p>\nThat is what we believe.<\/p>\nChapter One<\/p>\n\u201cDon\u2019t you know I\u2019d go to sleep and leave the light on,<\/p>\nhoping you\u2019d come by and know that I was home, still awake.<\/p>\nBut two years go by and still my lights on, this is hard for me<\/p>\nto say, but this is all that I can take.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026 and that\u2019s the news from Moon Rock Lake, Minnesota, where all the police and soldiers are thugs, all the Democrats and journalists are cowards, and all the Homeland Security\/Cointelpro lone gunmen, are about average.<\/p>\n\u201cAnd now \u2026 Letters In A Boone\u2019s Farm Bottle \u2026 some notes we have been receiving during the first half of our show from listeners, by email, chat room, telephone, telepathy and telegraph.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Johannes in St. Cloud we hear<\/em>: Gaza and Jews, it\u2019s all you hear about these days. I think the guy we elected who we thought was going to finally put an end to the phony fake fraudulent Biden era of disposable impersonators just wants to kill children because that pleases his masters. They killed JFK to get the world to this point. It\u2019s taken them awhile, but here we are.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026.\u00a0from Hedda in Woodbury<\/em>: another George Floyd sighting, making it nine this year. Someone said Philando Castille is driving the 94 bus \u2026<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Astrid in Shakopee<\/em>: Remember who did warp speed and remember who locked us down. Remember all those who died from the vaccine? Remember anyone dying from the Covid Flu? Me neither.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Daundre in Brainerd we have this<\/em>: Our elections are as fake as the January 6 psychological operation. It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean. Did John Brown kill? Did George Washington kill? Not sayin\u2019 just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from LaTonya in Byron, we hear<\/em>: The fires in Lahaina, Pasadena, Florida, all got their start in Minneapolis. All manufactured, all for some reason, somebody\u2019s sick, evil, extra-legal reasons. Why nothing from Bernie & AOC about Gaza?<\/p>\nChapter Two<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s a song that they sing when they take to the highway<\/p>\nA song that they sing when they take to the sea<\/p>\nA song that they sing of their home in the sky<\/p>\nMaybe you can believe them if it helps you to sleep<\/p>\nBut singing works just fine for me.<\/p>\nOnce upon a time<\/em>, in a galaxy far \u2026 long, long ago, deep in the woods \u2026 at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the day, down a flaking yellow brick road \u2026 well, anyway, there\u2019s this story we\u2019d like to unfold, about a state, a state that was perfect for its time and place, it fit right in there.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight. Don\u2019t let the bed bugs bite.<\/p>\nMic drop \u2026 Obama, out.<\/p>\n[Applause, standing ovation.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAbout the author:<\/h5>\nMike Palecek<\/strong>\u00a0has worked on newspapers in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

[Editor\u2019s note:<\/strong>\u00a0Jim Fetzer with Stew Peters on the JFK PSYOP\u00a0<\/a><\/em>(click here)]<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/picture>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n\nForeword<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\nThis interview was conducted in 1968 at the Hungry i in San Francisco by a reporter for Argo, a local magazine, with comedian Mort Sahl:<\/h4>\nArgo<\/strong>: Why is the truth behind the assassination of President Kennedy the last chance of America for its survival?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: Because the evidence developed by District Attorney Garrison indicates that certain people had to take President Kennedy\u2019s life in order to control ours. In other words, as Richard Starnes of the New York World-Telegram said, the shots in Dallas were the opening shots of World War III.<\/p>\nThere\u2019s been a great change in this country since Kennedy. I\u2019m afraid a great deal of our hope was interred with his remains.<\/p>\nArgo<\/strong>: What is the long, hard night that America must go through that you\u2019ve spoken of?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: She has to go through a period of the military and the CIA with a blank check trying to sell fascism. If she can hang on long enough, Americans may yet live in the country in which they were born. And that is the country structured by Tom Paine and Tom Jefferson.<\/p>\nArgo<\/strong>: What is the renaissance following this long, hard night, that you\u2019ve also spoken about?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: We\u2019ll start pursuing the American dream again.<\/p>\nI don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll ever realize it, but we\u2019re supposed to have the right to pursue it. And that\u2019s what this country is.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s an active exercise in man reaching his upper limit, as they used to say in the math department.<\/p>\nAnd the renaissance will be that a groundswell of public opinion will flush out the rascals because the CIA has infiltrated every area of our national life. I\u2019m afraid that the country they subverted best was the United States, be they in the various right-wing churches or be they in the Dallas Police Department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nClown World<\/h1>\n\nWhat kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek?<\/p>\nNot a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war.<\/p>\nNot the peace of the grave or the security of the slave.<\/p>\nI am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace<\/p>\nthat makes life on earth worth living,<\/p>\nthe kind that enables men and nations to grow and<\/p>\nto hope and to build a better life for their children \u2014<\/p>\nnot merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women\u2014<\/p>\nnot merely peace in our time but peace for all time.<\/p>\n\u2014 President John F. Kennedy<\/p>\nCommencement address at American University<\/p>\nJune 10, 1963<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\nPadlock the door and board the windows<\/p>\nPut the people in the street<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s just my job, \u201d he says \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\nAnd draws a check, goes home to eat<\/p>\nBut at night he tells his woman<\/p>\n\u201cI know I hide behind the laws.\u201d<\/p>\nShe says, \u201cYou\u2019re only taking orders.\u201d<\/p>\nThat\u2019s how every empire falls<\/p>\n\u2014 John Prine<\/p>\nFrom the Clown World Program page on the KDWI Radio Station website:<\/h4>\n\u201cI believe in opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone \u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n\u2014 Crash Davis,\u00a0Bull Durham<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThat\u2019s not quite what we believe at the Clown World Program.<\/p>\nWe believe that Crash Davis believes what he believes because he has been brainwashed by American newspapers and American culture.<\/p>\nWe believe there is so much more \u2026 so much more \u2026 that Americans live on lies, subsist on lies, but it\u2019s not really living.<\/p>\nYour brother-in-law, Brad, tries to send you to Siberia with a roll of his eyes at the Thanksgiving adult big table because you have dared to ask one of the taboo questions about 9\/11, or the moon, JFK, Sandy Hook, Boston, but you, because you listen to this radio show, know that you are not alone and that you have a right to ask any question you want.<\/p>\nAnd so, that\u2019s how it\u2019s going to go from now on. \u2026<\/p>\nJust as they said in the fake anthrax letters, they want us to be afraid, those murderers who are in the same house with us but we are not afraid.<\/p>\nWe will ask any question we want, and in the end truth will win out and peace will break out as the empire crumbles. \u2026<\/p>\nThat is what we believe.<\/p>\nChapter One<\/p>\n\u201cDon\u2019t you know I\u2019d go to sleep and leave the light on,<\/p>\nhoping you\u2019d come by and know that I was home, still awake.<\/p>\nBut two years go by and still my lights on, this is hard for me<\/p>\nto say, but this is all that I can take.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026 and that\u2019s the news from Moon Rock Lake, Minnesota, where all the police and soldiers are thugs, all the Democrats and journalists are cowards, and all the Homeland Security\/Cointelpro lone gunmen, are about average.<\/p>\n\u201cAnd now \u2026 Letters In A Boone\u2019s Farm Bottle \u2026 some notes we have been receiving during the first half of our show from listeners, by email, chat room, telephone, telepathy and telegraph.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Johannes in St. Cloud we hear<\/em>: Gaza and Jews, it\u2019s all you hear about these days. I think the guy we elected who we thought was going to finally put an end to the phony fake fraudulent Biden era of disposable impersonators just wants to kill children because that pleases his masters. They killed JFK to get the world to this point. It\u2019s taken them awhile, but here we are.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026.\u00a0from Hedda in Woodbury<\/em>: another George Floyd sighting, making it nine this year. Someone said Philando Castille is driving the 94 bus \u2026<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Astrid in Shakopee<\/em>: Remember who did warp speed and remember who locked us down. Remember all those who died from the vaccine? Remember anyone dying from the Covid Flu? Me neither.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Daundre in Brainerd we have this<\/em>: Our elections are as fake as the January 6 psychological operation. It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean. Did John Brown kill? Did George Washington kill? Not sayin\u2019 just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from LaTonya in Byron, we hear<\/em>: The fires in Lahaina, Pasadena, Florida, all got their start in Minneapolis. All manufactured, all for some reason, somebody\u2019s sick, evil, extra-legal reasons. Why nothing from Bernie & AOC about Gaza?<\/p>\nChapter Two<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s a song that they sing when they take to the highway<\/p>\nA song that they sing when they take to the sea<\/p>\nA song that they sing of their home in the sky<\/p>\nMaybe you can believe them if it helps you to sleep<\/p>\nBut singing works just fine for me.<\/p>\nOnce upon a time<\/em>, in a galaxy far \u2026 long, long ago, deep in the woods \u2026 at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the day, down a flaking yellow brick road \u2026 well, anyway, there\u2019s this story we\u2019d like to unfold, about a state, a state that was perfect for its time and place, it fit right in there.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan.

How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight.

It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran.

Argo<\/strong>: Why is the truth behind the assassination of President Kennedy the last chance of America for its survival?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: Because the evidence developed by District Attorney Garrison indicates that certain people had to take President Kennedy\u2019s life in order to control ours. In other words, as Richard Starnes of the New York World-Telegram said, the shots in Dallas were the opening shots of World War III.<\/p>\nThere\u2019s been a great change in this country since Kennedy. I\u2019m afraid a great deal of our hope was interred with his remains.<\/p>\nArgo<\/strong>: What is the long, hard night that America must go through that you\u2019ve spoken of?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: She has to go through a period of the military and the CIA with a blank check trying to sell fascism. If she can hang on long enough, Americans may yet live in the country in which they were born. And that is the country structured by Tom Paine and Tom Jefferson.<\/p>\nArgo<\/strong>: What is the renaissance following this long, hard night, that you\u2019ve also spoken about?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: We\u2019ll start pursuing the American dream again.<\/p>\nI don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll ever realize it, but we\u2019re supposed to have the right to pursue it. And that\u2019s what this country is.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s an active exercise in man reaching his upper limit, as they used to say in the math department.<\/p>\nAnd the renaissance will be that a groundswell of public opinion will flush out the rascals because the CIA has infiltrated every area of our national life. I\u2019m afraid that the country they subverted best was the United States, be they in the various right-wing churches or be they in the Dallas Police Department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nClown World<\/h1>\n\nWhat kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek?<\/p>\nNot a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war.<\/p>\nNot the peace of the grave or the security of the slave.<\/p>\nI am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace<\/p>\nthat makes life on earth worth living,<\/p>\nthe kind that enables men and nations to grow and<\/p>\nto hope and to build a better life for their children \u2014<\/p>\nnot merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women\u2014<\/p>\nnot merely peace in our time but peace for all time.<\/p>\n\u2014 President John F.

I think the guy we elected who we thought was going to finally put an end to the phony fake fraudulent Biden era of disposable impersonators just wants to kill children because that pleases his masters. They killed JFK to get the world to this point. It\u2019s taken them awhile, but here we are.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026.\u00a0from Hedda in Woodbury<\/em>: another George Floyd sighting, making it nine this year. Someone said Philando Castille is driving the 94 bus \u2026<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Astrid in Shakopee<\/em>: Remember who did warp speed and remember who locked us down. Remember all those who died from the vaccine? Remember anyone dying from the Covid Flu? Me neither.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Daundre in Brainerd we have this<\/em>: Our elections are as fake as the January 6 psychological operation. It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean. Did John Brown kill? Did George Washington kill? Not sayin\u2019 just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from LaTonya in Byron, we hear<\/em>: The fires in Lahaina, Pasadena, Florida, all got their start in Minneapolis. All manufactured, all for some reason, somebody\u2019s sick, evil, extra-legal reasons. Why nothing from Bernie & AOC about Gaza?<\/p>\nChapter Two<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s a song that they sing when they take to the highway<\/p>\nA song that they sing when they take to the sea<\/p>\nA song that they sing of their home in the sky<\/p>\nMaybe you can believe them if it helps you to sleep<\/p>\nBut singing works just fine for me.<\/p>\nOnce upon a time<\/em>, in a galaxy far \u2026 long, long ago, deep in the woods \u2026 at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the day, down a flaking yellow brick road \u2026 well, anyway, there\u2019s this story we\u2019d like to unfold, about a state, a state that was perfect for its time and place, it fit right in there.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight.

Sahl<\/strong>: Because the evidence developed by District Attorney Garrison indicates that certain people had to take President Kennedy\u2019s life in order to control ours. In other words, as Richard Starnes of the New York World-Telegram said, the shots in Dallas were the opening shots of World War III.<\/p>\nThere\u2019s been a great change in this country since Kennedy. I\u2019m afraid a great deal of our hope was interred with his remains.<\/p>\nArgo<\/strong>: What is the long, hard night that America must go through that you\u2019ve spoken of?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: She has to go through a period of the military and the CIA with a blank check trying to sell fascism. If she can hang on long enough, Americans may yet live in the country in which they were born. And that is the country structured by Tom Paine and Tom Jefferson.<\/p>\nArgo<\/strong>: What is the renaissance following this long, hard night, that you\u2019ve also spoken about?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: We\u2019ll start pursuing the American dream again.<\/p>\nI don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll ever realize it, but we\u2019re supposed to have the right to pursue it. And that\u2019s what this country is.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s an active exercise in man reaching his upper limit, as they used to say in the math department.<\/p>\nAnd the renaissance will be that a groundswell of public opinion will flush out the rascals because the CIA has infiltrated every area of our national life. I\u2019m afraid that the country they subverted best was the United States, be they in the various right-wing churches or be they in the Dallas Police Department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nClown World<\/h1>\n\nWhat kind of peace do I mean?

I think the guy we elected who we thought was going to finally put an end to the phony fake fraudulent Biden era of disposable impersonators just wants to kill children because that pleases his masters. They killed JFK to get the world to this point. It\u2019s taken them awhile, but here we are.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026.\u00a0from Hedda in Woodbury<\/em>: another George Floyd sighting, making it nine this year. Someone said Philando Castille is driving the 94 bus \u2026<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Astrid in Shakopee<\/em>: Remember who did warp speed and remember who locked us down. Remember all those who died from the vaccine? Remember anyone dying from the Covid Flu? Me neither.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Daundre in Brainerd we have this<\/em>: Our elections are as fake as the January 6 psychological operation. It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean. Did John Brown kill? Did George Washington kill? Not sayin\u2019 just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from LaTonya in Byron, we hear<\/em>: The fires in Lahaina, Pasadena, Florida, all got their start in Minneapolis. All manufactured, all for some reason, somebody\u2019s sick, evil, extra-legal reasons. Why nothing from Bernie & AOC about Gaza?<\/p>\nChapter Two<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s a song that they sing when they take to the highway<\/p>\nA song that they sing when they take to the sea<\/p>\nA song that they sing of their home in the sky<\/p>\nMaybe you can believe them if it helps you to sleep<\/p>\nBut singing works just fine for me.<\/p>\nOnce upon a time<\/em>, in a galaxy far \u2026 long, long ago, deep in the woods \u2026 at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the day, down a flaking yellow brick road \u2026 well, anyway, there\u2019s this story we\u2019d like to unfold, about a state, a state that was perfect for its time and place, it fit right in there.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight. Don\u2019t let the bed bugs bite.<\/p>\nMic drop \u2026 Obama, out.<\/p>\n[Applause, standing ovation.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAbout the author:<\/h5>\nMike Palecek<\/strong>\u00a0has worked on newspapers in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

There\u2019s been a great change in this country since Kennedy. I\u2019m afraid a great deal of our hope was interred with his remains.<\/p>\n
Argo<\/strong>: What is the long, hard night that America must go through that you\u2019ve spoken of?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: She has to go through a period of the military and the CIA with a blank check trying to sell fascism. If she can hang on long enough, Americans may yet live in the country in which they were born. And that is the country structured by Tom Paine and Tom Jefferson.<\/p>\nArgo<\/strong>: What is the renaissance following this long, hard night, that you\u2019ve also spoken about?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: We\u2019ll start pursuing the American dream again.<\/p>\nI don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll ever realize it, but we\u2019re supposed to have the right to pursue it. And that\u2019s what this country is.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s an active exercise in man reaching his upper limit, as they used to say in the math department.<\/p>\nAnd the renaissance will be that a groundswell of public opinion will flush out the rascals because the CIA has infiltrated every area of our national life. I\u2019m afraid that the country they subverted best was the United States, be they in the various right-wing churches or be they in the Dallas Police Department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nClown World<\/h1>\n\nWhat kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek?<\/p>\nNot a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war.<\/p>\nNot the peace of the grave or the security of the slave.<\/p>\nI am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace<\/p>\nthat makes life on earth worth living,<\/p>\nthe kind that enables men and nations to grow and<\/p>\nto hope and to build a better life for their children \u2014<\/p>\nnot merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women\u2014<\/p>\nnot merely peace in our time but peace for all time.<\/p>\n\u2014 President John F. Kennedy<\/p>\nCommencement address at American University<\/p>\nJune 10, 1963<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\nPadlock the door and board the windows<\/p>\nPut the people in the street<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s just my job, \u201d he says \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\nAnd draws a check, goes home to eat<\/p>\nBut at night he tells his woman<\/p>\n\u201cI know I hide behind the laws.\u201d<\/p>\nShe says, \u201cYou\u2019re only taking orders.\u201d<\/p>\nThat\u2019s how every empire falls<\/p>\n\u2014 John Prine<\/p>\nFrom the Clown World Program page on the KDWI Radio Station website:<\/h4>\n\u201cI believe in opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone \u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n\u2014 Crash Davis,\u00a0Bull Durham<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThat\u2019s not quite what we believe at the Clown World Program.<\/p>\nWe believe that Crash Davis believes what he believes because he has been brainwashed by American newspapers and American culture.<\/p>\nWe believe there is so much more \u2026 so much more \u2026 that Americans live on lies, subsist on lies, but it\u2019s not really living.<\/p>\nYour brother-in-law, Brad, tries to send you to Siberia with a roll of his eyes at the Thanksgiving adult big table because you have dared to ask one of the taboo questions about 9\/11, or the moon, JFK, Sandy Hook, Boston, but you, because you listen to this radio show, know that you are not alone and that you have a right to ask any question you want.<\/p>\nAnd so, that\u2019s how it\u2019s going to go from now on. \u2026<\/p>\nJust as they said in the fake anthrax letters, they want us to be afraid, those murderers who are in the same house with us but we are not afraid.<\/p>\nWe will ask any question we want, and in the end truth will win out and peace will break out as the empire crumbles. \u2026<\/p>\nThat is what we believe.<\/p>\nChapter One<\/p>\n\u201cDon\u2019t you know I\u2019d go to sleep and leave the light on,<\/p>\nhoping you\u2019d come by and know that I was home, still awake.<\/p>\nBut two years go by and still my lights on, this is hard for me<\/p>\nto say, but this is all that I can take.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026 and that\u2019s the news from Moon Rock Lake, Minnesota, where all the police and soldiers are thugs, all the Democrats and journalists are cowards, and all the Homeland Security\/Cointelpro lone gunmen, are about average.<\/p>\n\u201cAnd now \u2026 Letters In A Boone\u2019s Farm Bottle \u2026 some notes we have been receiving during the first half of our show from listeners, by email, chat room, telephone, telepathy and telegraph.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Johannes in St. Cloud we hear<\/em>: Gaza and Jews, it\u2019s all you hear about these days. I think the guy we elected who we thought was going to finally put an end to the phony fake fraudulent Biden era of disposable impersonators just wants to kill children because that pleases his masters. They killed JFK to get the world to this point. It\u2019s taken them awhile, but here we are.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026.\u00a0from Hedda in Woodbury<\/em>: another George Floyd sighting, making it nine this year. Someone said Philando Castille is driving the 94 bus \u2026<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Astrid in Shakopee<\/em>: Remember who did warp speed and remember who locked us down. Remember all those who died from the vaccine? Remember anyone dying from the Covid Flu? Me neither.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Daundre in Brainerd we have this<\/em>: Our elections are as fake as the January 6 psychological operation. It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean. Did John Brown kill? Did George Washington kill? Not sayin\u2019 just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from LaTonya in Byron, we hear<\/em>: The fires in Lahaina, Pasadena, Florida, all got their start in Minneapolis. All manufactured, all for some reason, somebody\u2019s sick, evil, extra-legal reasons. Why nothing from Bernie & AOC about Gaza?<\/p>\nChapter Two<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s a song that they sing when they take to the highway<\/p>\nA song that they sing when they take to the sea<\/p>\nA song that they sing of their home in the sky<\/p>\nMaybe you can believe them if it helps you to sleep<\/p>\nBut singing works just fine for me.<\/p>\nOnce upon a time<\/em>, in a galaxy far \u2026 long, long ago, deep in the woods \u2026 at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the day, down a flaking yellow brick road \u2026 well, anyway, there\u2019s this story we\u2019d like to unfold, about a state, a state that was perfect for its time and place, it fit right in there.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight.

Sahl<\/strong>: She has to go through a period of the military and the CIA with a blank check trying to sell fascism. If she can hang on long enough, Americans may yet live in the country in which they were born. And that is the country structured by Tom Paine and Tom Jefferson.<\/p>\nArgo<\/strong>: What is the renaissance following this long, hard night, that you\u2019ve also spoken about?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: We\u2019ll start pursuing the American dream again.<\/p>\nI don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll ever realize it, but we\u2019re supposed to have the right to pursue it. And that\u2019s what this country is.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s an active exercise in man reaching his upper limit, as they used to say in the math department.<\/p>\nAnd the renaissance will be that a groundswell of public opinion will flush out the rascals because the CIA has infiltrated every area of our national life. I\u2019m afraid that the country they subverted best was the United States, be they in the various right-wing churches or be they in the Dallas Police Department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nClown World<\/h1>\n\nWhat kind of peace do I mean?

I think the guy we elected who we thought was going to finally put an end to the phony fake fraudulent Biden era of disposable impersonators just wants to kill children because that pleases his masters.

It\u2019s taken them awhile, but here we are.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026.\u00a0from Hedda in Woodbury<\/em>: another George Floyd sighting, making it nine this year.

It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean.

Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none.

Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there.

Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight.

Argo<\/strong>: What is the renaissance following this long, hard night, that you\u2019ve also spoken about?<\/p>\nSahl<\/strong>: We\u2019ll start pursuing the American dream again.<\/p>\nI don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll ever realize it, but we\u2019re supposed to have the right to pursue it. And that\u2019s what this country is.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s an active exercise in man reaching his upper limit, as they used to say in the math department.<\/p>\nAnd the renaissance will be that a groundswell of public opinion will flush out the rascals because the CIA has infiltrated every area of our national life. I\u2019m afraid that the country they subverted best was the United States, be they in the various right-wing churches or be they in the Dallas Police Department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nClown World<\/h1>\n\nWhat kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek?<\/p>\nNot a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war.<\/p>\nNot the peace of the grave or the security of the slave.<\/p>\nI am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace<\/p>\nthat makes life on earth worth living,<\/p>\nthe kind that enables men and nations to grow and<\/p>\nto hope and to build a better life for their children \u2014<\/p>\nnot merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women\u2014<\/p>\nnot merely peace in our time but peace for all time.<\/p>\n\u2014 President John F.

I think the guy we elected who we thought was going to finally put an end to the phony fake fraudulent Biden era of disposable impersonators just wants to kill children because that pleases his masters. They killed JFK to get the world to this point. It\u2019s taken them awhile, but here we are.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026.\u00a0from Hedda in Woodbury<\/em>: another George Floyd sighting, making it nine this year.

It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean. Did John Brown kill? Did George Washington kill?

Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight.

Sahl<\/strong>: We\u2019ll start pursuing the American dream again.<\/p>\nI don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll ever realize it, but we\u2019re supposed to have the right to pursue it. And that\u2019s what this country is.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s an active exercise in man reaching his upper limit, as they used to say in the math department.<\/p>\nAnd the renaissance will be that a groundswell of public opinion will flush out the rascals because the CIA has infiltrated every area of our national life. I\u2019m afraid that the country they subverted best was the United States, be they in the various right-wing churches or be they in the Dallas Police Department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nClown World<\/h1>\n\nWhat kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek?<\/p>\nNot a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war.<\/p>\nNot the peace of the grave or the security of the slave.<\/p>\nI am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace<\/p>\nthat makes life on earth worth living,<\/p>\nthe kind that enables men and nations to grow and<\/p>\nto hope and to build a better life for their children \u2014<\/p>\nnot merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women\u2014<\/p>\nnot merely peace in our time but peace for all time.<\/p>\n\u2014 President John F.

I think the guy we elected who we thought was going to finally put an end to the phony fake fraudulent Biden era of disposable impersonators just wants to kill children because that pleases his masters.

It\u2019s taken them awhile, but here we are.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026.\u00a0from Hedda in Woodbury<\/em>: another George Floyd sighting, making it nine this year.

It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean.

The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight.

I don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll ever realize it, but we\u2019re supposed to have the right to pursue it. And that\u2019s what this country is.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an active exercise in man reaching his upper limit, as they used to say in the math department.<\/p>\n
And the renaissance will be that a groundswell of public opinion will flush out the rascals because the CIA has infiltrated every area of our national life. I\u2019m afraid that the country they subverted best was the United States, be they in the various right-wing churches or be they in the Dallas Police Department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek?<\/p>\n
Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war.<\/p>\n
Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave.<\/p>\n
I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace<\/p>\n
that makes life on earth worth living,<\/p>\n
the kind that enables men and nations to grow and<\/p>\n
to hope and to build a better life for their children \u2014<\/p>\n
not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women\u2014<\/p>\n
not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just my job, \u201d he says \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
And draws a check, goes home to eat<\/p>\n
But at night he tells his woman<\/p>\n
\u201cI know I hide behind the laws.\u201d<\/p>\n
She says, \u201cYou\u2019re only taking orders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone \u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n\u2014 Crash Davis,\u00a0Bull Durham<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThat\u2019s not quite what we believe at the Clown World Program.<\/p>\nWe believe that Crash Davis believes what he believes because he has been brainwashed by American newspapers and American culture.<\/p>\nWe believe there is so much more \u2026 so much more \u2026 that Americans live on lies, subsist on lies, but it\u2019s not really living.<\/p>\nYour brother-in-law, Brad, tries to send you to Siberia with a roll of his eyes at the Thanksgiving adult big table because you have dared to ask one of the taboo questions about 9\/11, or the moon, JFK, Sandy Hook, Boston, but you, because you listen to this radio show, know that you are not alone and that you have a right to ask any question you want.<\/p>\nAnd so, that\u2019s how it\u2019s going to go from now on. \u2026<\/p>\nJust as they said in the fake anthrax letters, they want us to be afraid, those murderers who are in the same house with us but we are not afraid.<\/p>\nWe will ask any question we want, and in the end truth will win out and peace will break out as the empire crumbles. \u2026<\/p>\nThat is what we believe.<\/p>\nChapter One<\/p>\n\u201cDon\u2019t you know I\u2019d go to sleep and leave the light on,<\/p>\nhoping you\u2019d come by and know that I was home, still awake.<\/p>\nBut two years go by and still my lights on, this is hard for me<\/p>\nto say, but this is all that I can take.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026 and that\u2019s the news from Moon Rock Lake, Minnesota, where all the police and soldiers are thugs, all the Democrats and journalists are cowards, and all the Homeland Security\/Cointelpro lone gunmen, are about average.<\/p>\n\u201cAnd now \u2026 Letters In A Boone\u2019s Farm Bottle \u2026 some notes we have been receiving during the first half of our show from listeners, by email, chat room, telephone, telepathy and telegraph.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Johannes in St. Cloud we hear<\/em>: Gaza and Jews, it\u2019s all you hear about these days. I think the guy we elected who we thought was going to finally put an end to the phony fake fraudulent Biden era of disposable impersonators just wants to kill children because that pleases his masters. They killed JFK to get the world to this point. It\u2019s taken them awhile, but here we are.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026.\u00a0from Hedda in Woodbury<\/em>: another George Floyd sighting, making it nine this year. Someone said Philando Castille is driving the 94 bus \u2026<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Astrid in Shakopee<\/em>: Remember who did warp speed and remember who locked us down. Remember all those who died from the vaccine? Remember anyone dying from the Covid Flu? Me neither.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Daundre in Brainerd we have this<\/em>: Our elections are as fake as the January 6 psychological operation. It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean. Did John Brown kill? Did George Washington kill? Not sayin\u2019 just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from LaTonya in Byron, we hear<\/em>: The fires in Lahaina, Pasadena, Florida, all got their start in Minneapolis. All manufactured, all for some reason, somebody\u2019s sick, evil, extra-legal reasons. Why nothing from Bernie & AOC about Gaza?<\/p>\nChapter Two<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s a song that they sing when they take to the highway<\/p>\nA song that they sing when they take to the sea<\/p>\nA song that they sing of their home in the sky<\/p>\nMaybe you can believe them if it helps you to sleep<\/p>\nBut singing works just fine for me.<\/p>\nOnce upon a time<\/em>, in a galaxy far \u2026 long, long ago, deep in the woods \u2026 at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the day, down a flaking yellow brick road \u2026 well, anyway, there\u2019s this story we\u2019d like to unfold, about a state, a state that was perfect for its time and place, it fit right in there.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight. Don\u2019t let the bed bugs bite.<\/p>\nMic drop \u2026 Obama, out.<\/p>\n[Applause, standing ovation.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAbout the author:<\/h5>\nMike Palecek<\/strong>\u00a0has worked on newspapers in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

\u201cI believe in opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone \u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Crash Davis,\u00a0Bull Durham<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThat\u2019s not quite what we believe at the Clown World Program.<\/p>\nWe believe that Crash Davis believes what he believes because he has been brainwashed by American newspapers and American culture.<\/p>\nWe believe there is so much more \u2026 so much more \u2026 that Americans live on lies, subsist on lies, but it\u2019s not really living.<\/p>\nYour brother-in-law, Brad, tries to send you to Siberia with a roll of his eyes at the Thanksgiving adult big table because you have dared to ask one of the taboo questions about 9\/11, or the moon, JFK, Sandy Hook, Boston, but you, because you listen to this radio show, know that you are not alone and that you have a right to ask any question you want.<\/p>\nAnd so, that\u2019s how it\u2019s going to go from now on. \u2026<\/p>\nJust as they said in the fake anthrax letters, they want us to be afraid, those murderers who are in the same house with us but we are not afraid.<\/p>\nWe will ask any question we want, and in the end truth will win out and peace will break out as the empire crumbles. \u2026<\/p>\nThat is what we believe.<\/p>\nChapter One<\/p>\n\u201cDon\u2019t you know I\u2019d go to sleep and leave the light on,<\/p>\nhoping you\u2019d come by and know that I was home, still awake.<\/p>\nBut two years go by and still my lights on, this is hard for me<\/p>\nto say, but this is all that I can take.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026 and that\u2019s the news from Moon Rock Lake, Minnesota, where all the police and soldiers are thugs, all the Democrats and journalists are cowards, and all the Homeland Security\/Cointelpro lone gunmen, are about average.<\/p>\n\u201cAnd now \u2026 Letters In A Boone\u2019s Farm Bottle \u2026 some notes we have been receiving during the first half of our show from listeners, by email, chat room, telephone, telepathy and telegraph.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Johannes in St. Cloud we hear<\/em>: Gaza and Jews, it\u2019s all you hear about these days. I think the guy we elected who we thought was going to finally put an end to the phony fake fraudulent Biden era of disposable impersonators just wants to kill children because that pleases his masters. They killed JFK to get the world to this point. It\u2019s taken them awhile, but here we are.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026.\u00a0from Hedda in Woodbury<\/em>: another George Floyd sighting, making it nine this year.

It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean. Did John Brown kill? Did George Washington kill? Not sayin\u2019 just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from LaTonya in Byron, we hear<\/em>: The fires in Lahaina, Pasadena, Florida, all got their start in Minneapolis.

Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight. Don\u2019t let the bed bugs bite.<\/p>\nMic drop \u2026 Obama, out.<\/p>\n[Applause, standing ovation.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAbout the author:<\/h5>\nMike Palecek<\/strong>\u00a0has worked on newspapers in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

That\u2019s not quite what we believe at the Clown World Program.<\/p>\n
We believe that Crash Davis believes what he believes because he has been brainwashed by American newspapers and American culture.<\/p>\n
We believe there is so much more \u2026 so much more \u2026 that Americans live on lies, subsist on lies, but it\u2019s not really living.<\/p>\n
Your brother-in-law, Brad, tries to send you to Siberia with a roll of his eyes at the Thanksgiving adult big table because you have dared to ask one of the taboo questions about 9\/11, or the moon, JFK, Sandy Hook, Boston, but you, because you listen to this radio show, know that you are not alone and that you have a right to ask any question you want.<\/p>\n
And so, that\u2019s how it\u2019s going to go from now on. \u2026<\/p>\n
Just as they said in the fake anthrax letters, they want us to be afraid, those murderers who are in the same house with us but we are not afraid.<\/p>\n
We will ask any question we want, and in the end truth will win out and peace will break out as the empire crumbles. \u2026<\/p>\n
That is what we believe.<\/p>\n
Chapter One<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you know I\u2019d go to sleep and leave the light on,<\/p>\n
hoping you\u2019d come by and know that I was home, still awake.<\/p>\n
But two years go by and still my lights on, this is hard for me<\/p>\n
to say, but this is all that I can take.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026 and that\u2019s the news from Moon Rock Lake, Minnesota, where all the police and soldiers are thugs, all the Democrats and journalists are cowards, and all the Homeland Security\/Cointelpro lone gunmen, are about average.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd now \u2026 Letters In A Boone\u2019s Farm Bottle \u2026 some notes we have been receiving during the first half of our show from listeners, by email, chat room, telephone, telepathy and telegraph.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Johannes in St. Cloud we hear<\/em>: Gaza and Jews, it\u2019s all you hear about these days. I think the guy we elected who we thought was going to finally put an end to the phony fake fraudulent Biden era of disposable impersonators just wants to kill children because that pleases his masters. They killed JFK to get the world to this point. It\u2019s taken them awhile, but here we are.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026.\u00a0from Hedda in Woodbury<\/em>: another George Floyd sighting, making it nine this year. Someone said Philando Castille is driving the 94 bus \u2026<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Astrid in Shakopee<\/em>: Remember who did warp speed and remember who locked us down. Remember all those who died from the vaccine? Remember anyone dying from the Covid Flu? Me neither.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Daundre in Brainerd we have this<\/em>: Our elections are as fake as the January 6 psychological operation. It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean. Did John Brown kill? Did George Washington kill? Not sayin\u2019 just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from LaTonya in Byron, we hear<\/em>: The fires in Lahaina, Pasadena, Florida, all got their start in Minneapolis. All manufactured, all for some reason, somebody\u2019s sick, evil, extra-legal reasons. Why nothing from Bernie & AOC about Gaza?<\/p>\nChapter Two<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s a song that they sing when they take to the highway<\/p>\nA song that they sing when they take to the sea<\/p>\nA song that they sing of their home in the sky<\/p>\nMaybe you can believe them if it helps you to sleep<\/p>\nBut singing works just fine for me.<\/p>\nOnce upon a time<\/em>, in a galaxy far \u2026 long, long ago, deep in the woods \u2026 at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the day, down a flaking yellow brick road \u2026 well, anyway, there\u2019s this story we\u2019d like to unfold, about a state, a state that was perfect for its time and place, it fit right in there.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight. Don\u2019t let the bed bugs bite.<\/p>\nMic drop \u2026 Obama, out.<\/p>\n[Applause, standing ovation.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAbout the author:<\/h5>\nMike Palecek<\/strong>\u00a0has worked on newspapers in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean.

The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight. Don\u2019t let the bed bugs bite.<\/p>\nMic drop \u2026 Obama, out.<\/p>\n[Applause, standing ovation.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAbout the author:<\/h5>\nMike Palecek<\/strong>\u00a0has worked on newspapers in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Astrid in Shakopee<\/em>: Remember who did warp speed and remember who locked us down. Remember all those who died from the vaccine? Remember anyone dying from the Covid Flu? Me neither.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Daundre in Brainerd we have this<\/em>: Our elections are as fake as the January 6 psychological operation. It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean. Did John Brown kill? Did George Washington kill? Not sayin\u2019 just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from LaTonya in Byron, we hear<\/em>: The fires in Lahaina, Pasadena, Florida, all got their start in Minneapolis. All manufactured, all for some reason, somebody\u2019s sick, evil, extra-legal reasons. Why nothing from Bernie & AOC about Gaza?<\/p>\nChapter Two<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s a song that they sing when they take to the highway<\/p>\nA song that they sing when they take to the sea<\/p>\nA song that they sing of their home in the sky<\/p>\nMaybe you can believe them if it helps you to sleep<\/p>\nBut singing works just fine for me.<\/p>\nOnce upon a time<\/em>, in a galaxy far \u2026 long, long ago, deep in the woods \u2026 at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the day, down a flaking yellow brick road \u2026 well, anyway, there\u2019s this story we\u2019d like to unfold, about a state, a state that was perfect for its time and place, it fit right in there.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight. Don\u2019t let the bed bugs bite.<\/p>\nMic drop \u2026 Obama, out.<\/p>\n[Applause, standing ovation.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAbout the author:<\/h5>\nMike Palecek<\/strong>\u00a0has worked on newspapers in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Daundre in Brainerd we have this<\/em>: Our elections are as fake as the January 6 psychological operation. It\u2019s hard to believe they would do this, that\u2019s why we don\u2019t, believe. But they do. Why nothing from Senator Booker about Gaza? Why, if I am allowed to ask, no mention of the slaughter of children in Gaza at the massive Hands Off protests. Typical Democrats, follow the Judas goat Clinton, Obama, Sanders, all the way over the cliff, no mention of what really matters, war, the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean. Did John Brown kill? Did George Washington kill? Not sayin\u2019 just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from LaTonya in Byron, we hear<\/em>: The fires in Lahaina, Pasadena, Florida, all got their start in Minneapolis. All manufactured, all for some reason, somebody\u2019s sick, evil, extra-legal reasons. Why nothing from Bernie & AOC about Gaza?<\/p>\nChapter Two<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s a song that they sing when they take to the highway<\/p>\nA song that they sing when they take to the sea<\/p>\nA song that they sing of their home in the sky<\/p>\nMaybe you can believe them if it helps you to sleep<\/p>\nBut singing works just fine for me.<\/p>\nOnce upon a time<\/em>, in a galaxy far \u2026 long, long ago, deep in the woods \u2026 at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the day, down a flaking yellow brick road \u2026 well, anyway, there\u2019s this story we\u2019d like to unfold, about a state, a state that was perfect for its time and place, it fit right in there.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight. Don\u2019t let the bed bugs bite.<\/p>\nMic drop \u2026 Obama, out.<\/p>\n[Applause, standing ovation.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAbout the author:<\/h5>\nMike Palecek<\/strong>\u00a0has worked on newspapers in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

\u201c\u2026\u00a0from Frida in West Duluth<\/em>: Luigi shot a rich guy dead, more than just a rich guy, you know what I mean. Did John Brown kill? Did George Washington kill? Not sayin\u2019 just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026\u00a0from LaTonya in Byron, we hear<\/em>: The fires in Lahaina, Pasadena, Florida, all got their start in Minneapolis. All manufactured, all for some reason, somebody\u2019s sick, evil, extra-legal reasons. Why nothing from Bernie & AOC about Gaza?<\/p>\nChapter Two<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s a song that they sing when they take to the highway<\/p>\nA song that they sing when they take to the sea<\/p>\nA song that they sing of their home in the sky<\/p>\nMaybe you can believe them if it helps you to sleep<\/p>\nBut singing works just fine for me.<\/p>\nOnce upon a time<\/em>, in a galaxy far \u2026 long, long ago, deep in the woods \u2026 at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the day, down a flaking yellow brick road \u2026 well, anyway, there\u2019s this story we\u2019d like to unfold, about a state, a state that was perfect for its time and place, it fit right in there.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place.

Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight. Don\u2019t let the bed bugs bite.<\/p>\nMic drop \u2026 Obama, out.<\/p>\n[Applause, standing ovation.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAbout the author:<\/h5>\nMike Palecek<\/strong>\u00a0has worked on newspapers in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

\u201c\u2026\u00a0from LaTonya in Byron, we hear<\/em>: The fires in Lahaina, Pasadena, Florida, all got their start in Minneapolis. All manufactured, all for some reason, somebody\u2019s sick, evil, extra-legal reasons. Why nothing from Bernie & AOC about Gaza?<\/p>\nChapter Two<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s a song that they sing when they take to the highway<\/p>\nA song that they sing when they take to the sea<\/p>\nA song that they sing of their home in the sky<\/p>\nMaybe you can believe them if it helps you to sleep<\/p>\nBut singing works just fine for me.<\/p>\nOnce upon a time<\/em>, in a galaxy far \u2026 long, long ago, deep in the woods \u2026 at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the day, down a flaking yellow brick road \u2026 well, anyway, there\u2019s this story we\u2019d like to unfold, about a state, a state that was perfect for its time and place, it fit right in there.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there.

Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you.

There\u2019s a song that they sing when they take to the highway<\/p>\n
A song that they sing when they take to the sea<\/p>\n
A song that they sing of their home in the sky<\/p>\n
Maybe you can believe them if it helps you to sleep<\/p>\n
But singing works just fine for me.<\/p>\n
Once upon a time<\/em>, in a galaxy far \u2026 long, long ago, deep in the woods \u2026 at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the day, down a flaking yellow brick road \u2026 well, anyway, there\u2019s this story we\u2019d like to unfold, about a state, a state that was perfect for its time and place, it fit right in there.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\nAll happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\nMinnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\nOn the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\nYou have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\nWe can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama?

And we\u2019re talking about Minnesota here, birthplace of the Mississippi, Joe Mauer, the Tin Man, pacemakers, frozen pizza, Scotch tape and damp yoga \u2026 Labradoodle, triple-wide stroller, top knot capital of the universe. Burial site of John Mariucci, Herb Brooks, Halsey Hall, 38 Dakota men, Mother Goose, Moonlight Graham, Dear Abby, George Jetson, Larry Cloud-Morgan, Marv Davidov, Verne Gagne, Sinclair Lewis, disco, the Paul Wellstone family, and others.<\/p>\n
All happy families live in Minnesota. All unhappy families dream of being able to go to Minnesota for one weekend before they die.<\/p>\n
Minnesota, at the time we are talking about was perfect, because of diversity.<\/p>\n
On the one hand, you have gangs, in stolen BMWs \u2026 \u201cpop-pop-pop-zing!\u201d in the night, that can be heard through the sound of the white noise bubble machine in Edina bedrooms if the wind is right, and on the other hand you have wolves, bears, Bigfoot, woods, water all so wonderful and unbelievable to behold.<\/p>\n
You have the Trailside tavern in Meadowlands right next to Sac-Zim Bog, and over here you have exhausted Trojans and Mickey\u2019s 40 shards in the muddy shore along the actual Mississippi River and up the hill you will find seminarians and bishops intensely agreeing with each other about unknowable things over wine, cheese and crackers.<\/p>\n
We can list things back and forth with you and your state, if you wish, for as long as you want: Summit Avenue, sky blue water, Prairie Home Companion, Guthrie, Chanhassen (six plays at once and food), Ordway, Excel, Target Field, The People\u2019s Stadium, the soccer one, The Marathon, oatmeal stout on a stick, sailors, surgeons, and Somalis in the sauna \u2026\u00a0show us your mall and we\u2019ll show you ours<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got billionaire yuppies in tattered jeans with Labradoodles seated around like the hungry droves in The Sermon on the Mount, hunters, dumb as dust, lathered in orange, and drug-addled teenage runaways in green-blue hair, and they are all seated together \u2014\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in short sleeves in twenty degrees at hard metal tables on the sidewalk outside the Five Watt Cafe on Lyndale.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got actors, poets, writers, Mary Tyler Moore, and \u2026\u00a0oh?<\/em>\u00a0give up? The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight.

The better part of valor.<\/p>\nOkay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\nStarted by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\nAnd now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight.

You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight.

Okay, well, in the middle of all this greatness, and I think you know where I\u2019m going with this \u2026 was radio.<\/p>\n
Started by nine guys in tan leisure suits, each with one home on Lake Minnetonka and one on the North Shore, a company station wagon and tickets every year to \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Radio Station KDWI sat for the longest time at the Cedar-Riverside intersection on the West Bank, then it moved to the top floor of the IDS Center, because it did, and took the name Orion Communications Network, as large things were planned, in the works, but anyway \u2026<\/p>\n
And now<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 now it\u2019s about four or six people in Vikings pigtails and pajamas and \u201cAnother Fat Cat Person For Walz\u201d white robes with pizza stains, smoking Winstons and blowing the smoke out the dryer vent.<\/p>\nYeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\nAnyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\nBut, for a while.<\/p>\nWell, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\nAnd if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place.

Yeah, that\u2019s gonna work.<\/p>\n
Anyway, they played the shit out of the ballads of the day, ignoring all other, which could fall or melt into the ocean for all they cared, which it did.<\/p>\n
But, for a while.<\/p>\n
Well, that was a time, it was.<\/p>\n
And if you know, you know, just what I\u2019m talking about, and if you don\u2019t, if you just got here from Lincoln or LeMars, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Luxemburg, no amount of my describing is gonna put you quite in the right frame of mind, that place. You just keep on fishin\u2019 from shore, keep drinking Coors Light, we\u2019ll leave you alone, we won\u2019t bother you none. Live\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>life on\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0planet.<\/p>\nChapter Three<\/h3>\nAnd they all play on the golf course<\/p>\nAnd drink their martinis dry<\/p>\nAnd they all have pretty children<\/p>\nAnd the children go to school<\/p>\nAnd the children to go summer camp<\/p>\nAnd then to the university<\/p>\nWhere they are put in boxes<\/p>\nAnd they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\nIn the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here.

And they all play on the golf course<\/p>\n
And drink their martinis dry<\/p>\n
And they all have pretty children<\/p>\n
And the children go to school<\/p>\n
And the children to go summer camp<\/p>\n
And then to the university<\/p>\n
Where they are put in boxes<\/p>\n
And they come out all the same \u2026<\/p>\n
In the smack-dab middle<\/em>, at the center, the focus, the guts, the fucking midst, of Radio Station KDWI \u2026 was PTTPRO.<\/p>\nThe Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\nLater it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\nAnd now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\nThe four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\nIt was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\nAnd, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\nAnd they got the gig.<\/p>\nAnd maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\nSo, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\nChapter Four<\/h3>\nSome nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\nThe hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there. What happened to good quality journalism with fact checks and validation before putting misinformation out, we\u2019re living in age of \u201ceverybody has an opinion, but they also have an asshole and I don\u2019t need another one. Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right? And the 3rd Precinct? And 7-Sigma, the company that made bio-mechanical realistic dummies? Was all of that in order to get blacks total control of TV commercials? Not that I really care. It\u2019s TV. Just asking. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it. At least everything in Maple Grove is okay. Thank God. I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\nThe U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\nThe poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\u2026.Osama bin Laden was buried at sea \u2026 and Jessica Lynch was rescued heroically, the U.S.A. does not torture, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush won the 2000 election, see, there is a plane there in that hole in Shanksville, it went all the way into that hole and no, there is no blood and no bodies and no luggage scattered \u2026 or plane parts \u2026 and Osama bin Laden \u2026 was buried at sea. \u2026<\/p>\nRemember the anthrax letters, which said \u201cAre You Afraid?\u201d Those were not written with a rock and chisel like Fred Flintstone from the recesses of some cave in Afghanistan. Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents. How much money is in this room, the salaries, can anyone even guess?<\/p>\n[Silence.]<\/p>\nAnd the companies these people work for, how much cash there and who owns them \u2013 the defense contractor industry.<\/p>\nLots of money here tonight. All the power. The big hitters. The American Goebbels propagandist core. The perfect setting for what we have planned for you, Citizen Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n\u2026 Barack Obama, 44thth President of The United States of America \u2026 as you leave office, we have a little something for you as a memento of our appreciation.<\/p>\nBy your own standards \u2026 treason is punishable by death as you know because you are a professor \u2026 those are your rules, Barack Obama \u2026 you know all about 9\/11 \u2026 you are in fact the world\u2019s biggest terrorist \u2026 you are the personification of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n\u2026 you should be water-boarded with Flint water \u2026 and then hanged by the neck on the front lawn of the White House. It would not be a lynching. It would be justice.<\/p>\nJust sayin\u2019, keepin\u2019 it real, homey.<\/p>\nYes, please turn around and put your hands against the wall, spread out your legs, now put your hands behind your back and accept these handcuffs.<\/p>\nHope that isn\u2019t too tight, but whatever. We have an expense paid long-term vacation ready for you, heavens knows you deserve it.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve got it all planned for you, in beautiful Leavenworth, Kansas, former home of Machine Gun Kelley and Bugsy Moran. At Leavenworth you will be able to be among your own kind, not normal folks. We think you should enjoy that.<\/p>\nWrite your memoirs, play softball, play checkers, read Louis L\u2019Amour novels \u2018til your brains falls out.<\/p>\nPlay basketball.<\/p>\nTake all the time you need.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\nSleep tight. Don\u2019t let the bed bugs bite.<\/p>\nMic drop \u2026 Obama, out.<\/p>\n[Applause, standing ovation.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAbout the author:<\/h5>\nMike Palecek<\/strong>\u00a0has worked on newspapers in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

The Power To The People Right On show, most weeknights, midnight to four.<\/p>\n
Later it was IDMTJ, It Don\u2019t Matter To Jesus.<\/p>\n
And now it\u2019s CW, Clown World.<\/p>\n
The four guys who started the show and might, probably, could be still there, had loose associations with the local newspaper sports department, the F.B.I. headquarters on South Fourth, an \u201cindependent\u201d boutique law firm in Saint Paul, and the cement\/concrete sidewalk and driveway trades around the general metroplex, and a full-time association with Moby Dick\u2019s bar on Hennepin Avenue.<\/p>\n
It was there that they, over time, disclosed to each other their closely held beliefs and perhaps first-hand knowledge of Bigfoot near Duluth, the Crowley Family Phoenix Program-style massacre in Apple Valley, the \u201cmoon landings,\u201d child trafficking on Hennepin, the trial and eventual exoneration by Judge Miles Lord of the two who damaged Trident missile components at the Sperry Univac plant in Eagan, along with the reported regular comings and goings at three a.m. of UFO alien spacecraft-somethings at Lakes Harriet, Of The Isles, and Calhoun, and other things as well.<\/p>\n
And, because it seemed like a thing that could be done, having newspaper reporters taking part-time positions as radio personalities, the sports guy said he would check it out, which he did.<\/p>\n
And they got the gig.<\/p>\n
And maybe they still have it, but you know, these days \u2026<\/p>\n
So, there you have it, these four guys, living a bit of a fairy tale existence and knowing it, seeking attention, trying to do some good maybe, not wanting to go home yet, dreaming of a world\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0can only dream about and saying things you can only say for about four hours every day when it\u2019s dark and everyone is asleep.<\/p>\nAnd so, unless you have something else?

I know, right?<\/p>\n\u2026\u00a0And now<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s time for the annual Washington correspondents Presidential Roast, some little bit of teasing that nobody takes seriously, just some laughs, some good times, to celebrate who we are and what we have done \u2026 presented by the national media \u2026 who, well \u2026 anyway.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\nYou were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\nYour name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\nWho are you, really?<\/p>\nThis is a joke, right?<\/p>\nA CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\nVery funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama.<\/p>\nHey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nPresident Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAll a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nYou said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\nWell, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nObama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\nHope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nHow many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\nMy Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\nAnd, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\nThey killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\nIt has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nAnd you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\nYou are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\nYou are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\nSoon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\nGather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\nSo, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\nAnd you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nYou think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\nWhere is this heading?

Those letters came from persons within our own government.<\/p>\nLike a horror movie and the killer is in the same house with us.<\/p>\nThese killers are right here, with us and \u201cthey\u201d want us to be afraid.<\/p>\n[Crowd begins to chant something, maybe \u201chope\u201d \u2026 and \u2026 \u201cchange.\u201d]<\/p>\nThe working people of America are poor and struggling, and yet you gather here today with your rich friends and laugh about it all.<\/p>\nThe murder of Hugo Chavez. Smooth move. Nice going, cancer, nobody knows. Plausible deniability, because you are a smooth, hip, dude, Mr. President.<\/p>\nNo health care, very slick of you to re-design health care and only increase the profits of the wealthy and call it health care reform.<\/p>\nAnd what about the people gathered here tonight, the Washington correspondents.

And so, unless you have something else? Maybe you got something to say about intelligentsia on ham radios planning the revolution from the coast of Maine, southern France and Alpha Centauri, or maybe you can juxtapose the calls of loons at dawn with a guy on his back on the cement gripping the parking meter so he doesn\u2019t fall off the world, dreaming about making plaster handprints in first grade, then get back to me, otherwise, this is the story we\u2019re about to unfold.<\/p>\n
Some nights I tell the sky our story\nAnd I don\u2019t have to say a word\nCause words are useless in the cosmos\nWords are stupid and absurd\nSome nights I tell the stars our story\nHow we raised intrepid generals\nTaught them to fight for paper money, invisible lines, and minerals\nI tell a tale\nWill the computer love the sunset\nWill we midwife our demise\nCan it calculate my love and\nWill it know how to be kind<\/p>\n
The hoax is in.<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s been in since Nov. 22, 1963.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s coming down to the wire.<\/p>\nExcept, the hoax is in.<\/p>\nAnd by all appearances there is no way we can win without a miracle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hail Mary time.<\/p>\n\u2026 My wife is busy making masks while watching \u201cThe News,\u201d with Lester Holt.<\/p>\nAnd, not too long ago, I received this email from a friend from college after I sent to him videos trying to explain there were no planes on 9\/11 and that the masks are just a zombie fashion show.<\/p>\nGary said this in response<\/em>:<\/p>\n\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there.

Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\nOn the planet.<\/p>\nI blame the press.<\/p>\nThey not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\nThey did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\nThey actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\nAnd they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\nWhat is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\nA case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists. Never daring to speak the truth they are de facto agents of the United States government and its military, complicit in murder and the conversion of the United States into a banana republic by deception.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to be living in these times. When I was growing up in the 1960s, well, I probably was only concerned with when was supper, but if I had been a deep thinker, I still don\u2019t think I could have gotten my head around being alive in the 2020s \u2026 ain\u2019t gonna need to tell the truth \u2026 tell no lies \u2026 or maybe John Prine had it figured out a little better \u2026 we\u2019re all driving rocket ships and talking with our minds, watching Trump and Biden on Family Feud and standing in soup lines \u2026 me, I think I thought the Jetson\u2019s was predictive programming, revelation of the method. I was looking forward to it.<\/p>\nSome day my black and white \u201856 Chevy station wagon would fly \u2026<\/p>\nWell, good evening<\/em>. It is ten minutes after midnight in Minneapolis.<\/p>\nThis is Radio Station KDWI, your source for truth, weather and sports.<\/p>\nThe weather is okay, the traffic is fine, and the sports will resume in the morning.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s all good.<\/p>\nWell, on my way to the George Floyd, In This House We Believe Anything, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon, Another Escaped Lunatic for Harris & Walz lawn sign, MAGA HAT, News From Lake Wobegon cassettes, Twins Homer Hankie, Bomba Squad Hankie recycling center in Roseville yesterday afternoon, wow, I lost my train of thought here \u2026\u00a0anyway<\/em>\u00a0\u2026 well, how \u2018bout this for an icebreaker tonight \u2026 you recall the 164 fires from the riots, right?

\u201cWell, pretty warm here, but fall is coming next week, if you can believe the weather people. Sorry, Tim, no time to watch your opinion and a few others, I\u2019m sure I can find all kinds of opinions to the contrary, but I\u2019ll use the mind the good Lord gave me to process quality print information and make my own decision and once again Dr. [ ] and his wife [ ] are both medical doctors on the front line, and their experience and opinion outweighs any internet you tube that any bone head can put out there.

Sorry, but glad to hear the weather is good, when\u2019s that grandchild due?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jim Garrison lamented to John Barbour one time about there being no one \u201con the planet,\u201d to talk to.<\/p>\n
On the planet.<\/p>\n
I blame the press.<\/p>\n
They not only lied, told fibs, they facilitated the murder of millions in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the enslavement of their neighbors, the dumbing down, the serving of toxic Coco Puffs disguised as The Nightly News.<\/p>\n
They did this, but nobody realizes that or thinks about it, or lets it get to them or freak them out because they\u2019ve got all this other shit to do.<\/p>\n
They actually lied to us, not once, but thousands of times over many years, a lifetime.<\/p>\n
And they have their lives, in the suburbs, hail fellow well-met at the neighborhood barbecue, admired, imitated, emulated.<\/p>\n
What is supposed to be a source of enlightenment and means for discussion, information and discernment has become a cognitive jackboot tool for propaganda, oppression and deceit.<\/p>\n
A case in point would be KFAN radio in Minneapolis, a sports talk station I have listened to for years, that often delves into other areas. I remember backing out of the driveway of a group home in Duluth after doing the overnight shift and hearing the morning show crew talking about the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden at sea. The hosts regularly decry so-called conspiracies and ridicule so-called conspiracy theorists.

\u201cPresident Obama \u2026 you are black and you allegedly play basketball.<\/p>\n
You were not born here. You hide your records, your birth certificates, your transcripts.<\/p>\n
Your name is Barack Obama, elected in the era of Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n
Who are you, really?<\/p>\n
This is a joke, right?<\/p>\n
A CIA scotch and water, friends around the fire, middle-of-the-night joke.<\/p>\n
Very funny. We get it. Very funny.<\/p>\n
[LAUGHTER]<\/p>\n
President Obama.<\/p>\n
Hey did you hear the one about the Nobel Peace Prize winner who blew the kids and their parents to bits with Predator drone strikes?<\/p>\n
President Obama. You did not prosecute Bush and Cheney for invading a country with no reason and killing millions of people. There were no weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n
All a lie. Everyone knows that.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a national late-night TV joke, like Bob Hope and airplane food.<\/p>\n
You said you did not want to go backward, but only forward.<\/p>\n
Well, if that is the case for legal precedent in this country then none of the people in jail and prison should be there. The past is past, let\u2019s just go forward.<\/p>\n
Obama, you promised to close Guantanamo.<\/p>\n
[LAUGHTER as Obama flashes Mason gang hand signals]<\/p>\n
Hope and Change. The big lies in your campaigns, the big crowds gathered because you were their hope for a decent life.<\/p>\n
How many people have you buried at sea today, President Barack Obama? [More laughter as Obama pinches his nose closed and does \u201cthe swim.\u201d]<\/p>\n
My Dude. They fell for it. Good work. That fake photo of you all watching some fake whatever. A precious moment in White House history.<\/p>\n
And, going back to Bush and Cheney \u2026 because we should \u2026 you have to know that they were involved in the planning and implementing and cover-up of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n
[Obama shrugs shoulders.]<\/p>\n
They killed. Pre-meditated murder. Their own country. It was all to invade Iraq, and to create a new boogeyman. You didn\u2019t have the Commies anymore. And to invade Libya, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Iran.<\/p>\n
It has all been planned. \u2026 By spooks, with full-time jobs, and health insurance.<\/p>\n
[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]<\/p>\n
And you do nothing. You smile and play the cool dude.<\/p>\n
You are not a cool dude, Obama.<\/p>\n
You are a Times Square three-card monte shyster and the game is up.<\/p>\n
Soon it will be time for you to run.<\/p>\n
Gather your cards and disappear into the crowd, grab the helicopter skids as it takes off from the White House lawn, ask it to drop you somewhere over Kenya.<\/p>\n
So, so much \u2026 Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels, Aurora, Tucson, all on your watch.<\/p>\n
And you have everyone fooled, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n
[Obama fakes wiping at a tear.]<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t you. It\u2019s funny isn\u2019t it. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
You think it\u2019s funny, don\u2019t you, you POS.<\/p>\n
[LAUGHTER as Obama fakes getting up to leave.]<\/p>\n
Where is this heading? Who is leading you?<\/p>\n
The U.S. military empire, bases overseas \u2026<\/p>\n
The poor in the United States, no jobs, all jobs overseas.<\/p>\n
