Secretion of endorphins dissipated
From the self-inflicted ignorance
From the influence of inhalants

Nullifying blasphemy
Peer-culture pop-pressure
Eager to conform
To belong
To bask in self gratitude
To relate to the idols

Presented by babble-on’s mighty
Boob tube Idiot box Grand span multiplex
Satellite cable access radio wave transmitted

Thirty second brain wash sessions
Ingrained in your brain
With a catchy lil jingle

Ne-plus-ultra promised
In a plastic wraped pakage
Marked with the mark that marks the rich
“And who am I to say which is witch
burning is not in my nature, brash attitude
coupled with brazen satire”

Scoffed the arrogant stoner

“That’s the nature of my favor”

People are not words
Requiring definitions

but try telling that
to wealthy stock holders
and crooked politicians

who will tell you
that the human is a race
and they are set to win

A systematic democratic
Game of lies set to control

Take note of what you say
Than tell you want you want to hear

With the same words
Ease and solidify all your fears

Verbal magician

Confusion

Submition

Misdirection through a
Circus mirror relection

If you see what they what you to see
Than you will be what they want you to be

A testimony to complacency
Muting the reformer

Anarchy is not me monocker
But democracy is a monarchy
With a senate for a monarch
And a figure head for distraction

Will a million people
Say yes or no
Well its 50/50
Don’t you know
Cover both ends
And its all wraped up

Call it what you want
But they write the bills

And dollar bills seem to
Erase other bills

Like the emptiness
That money fills

Like the cold starving
baring winter chills

Like the emptiness
That money fills

Like the way
Inequality kills

"Hunter telephoned me on Feb. 19, the night before his death. He sounded scared. It wasn't always easy to understand what he said, particularly over the phone, he mumbled, yet when there was something he really wanted you to understand, you did. He'd been working on a story about the World Trade Center attacks and had stumbled across what he felt was hard evidence showing the towers had been brought down not by the airplanes that flew into them but by explosive charges set off in their foundations. Now he thought someone was out to stop him publishing it: "They're gonna make it look like suicide," he said. "I know how these bastards think . . ."

"Bush is really the evil one here and it is more than just him. We are the Nazis in this game and I don't like it. I am embarrassed and I am pissed off. I mean to say something. I think a lot of people in this country agree with me...we'll see what happens to me if I get my head cut off next week -- it is always unknown or bushy-haired strangers who commit suicide right afterwards with no witnesses."

Hunter S Thompson

"Thompson was found dead Sunday in his Aspen-area home of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, sheriff's officials said. He was 67. Thompson's wife, Anita, had gone out before the shooting and was not home at the time."

"You've been outspoken on Fourth Amendment issues: search and seizure, the right to privacy. I assume you've taken a side in the civil liberties debate that's come up in the aftermath of 9/11?

It's a disaster of unthinkable proportions -- part of the downward spiral of dumbness. Civil liberties are black and white issues. I don't think people think far enough to see the ramifications. The PATRIOT Act was a dagger in the heart, really, of even the concept of a democratic government that is free, equal and just. There are a lot more concentration camps right now than Guantanamo Bay. But they're not marked. Now, every jail, every bush-league cop can run a concentration camp. It amounts to a military and police takeover, I think.

Well, as some have pointed out, Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War. Is some suspension of civil liberties ever appropriate or justified in a time of war?

If there's a visible, obvious threat like Hitler, but in my mind the administration is using these bogeymen for their own purposes. This military law is nothing like the Constitution. They're exploiting the formula here: The people are afraid of something and you offer a solution, however drastic, and they go along with it. For a while, yeah. My suspicions are more justified every day with this manufacturing of dangerous killer villains. The rest of the world does not perceive, I don't think, that some tin-horn dictator in the Middle East is more of a danger to the world than the U.S. is. This country depends on war as a primary industry. The White House has pumped up the danger factor because it's to their advantage. It's to John Ashcroft's advantage. There have always been pros and cons about the righteousness of life in America but this just seems planned, it seems consistent, and it seems traditional.


What do they get out of it?

They get control of the U.S. economy, their friends get rich. These are not philosopher-kings we're talking about. These are politicians. It's a very sleazy way of using the system. One of the problems today is that what's going on today is not as complex as it seems. The Pentagon just asked for another $14 billion more in the budget, and it's already $28 billion. [Defense spending in the 2003 budget rose $19.4 billion, to $364.6 billion]. That's one sector of the economy that's not down the tubes. So, some people are getting rich off of this. It's the oligarchy. I believe the Republicans have never thought that democracy w
