Welcome to the Blood on the Rooftops

Let's skip the news boy (I'll make some tea)
The Arabs and the Jews boy (too much for me)
They get me confused boy (puts me off to sleep)
And the thing I hate - Oh Lord!
Is staying up late, to watch some debate, on some nation's fate.

Hypnotised by Batman, Tarzan, still surprised!
You've won the West in time to be our guest
Name your prize!

Blood on the rooftops - Venice in the Spring
Streets of San Francisco - a word from Peking
The trouble was started - by a young Errol Flynn
Better in my day - Oh Lord!
For when we got bored, we'd have a world war, happy but poor


--Steve Hackett and Phil Collins, 1977

Troubled times are surely ahead on the horizon. The lyrics to the song "Blood on the Rooftops," excerpted above, mark the pivotal theme of this blog: A collection of my thoughts, rants, and general malaise as I sit here, knowing the only thing in my power I can do is spread the word to friends, loved ones, strangers. Regardless of your relationship to me, we are all brothers and sisters in this same fight.

Now, I wouldn't be surprised if some of you, at this point, are wondering what fight I'm talking about. If it isn't apparent to you what I'm talking about, then please re-read the lyrics above.

We are a society obsessed with meaningless garble. When was the last time you saw a dead US soldier in Iraq? We're at fucking war! Instead, when you turn on CNN, you see headlines about Anna Nicole Smith, a greedy piece of shit who was so selfish that she turned her life into a media circus. Heck, for a month after she "tragically" died, all the mainstream news circuits filled our heads with stories about custody battles and of course, MONEY battles. We're fighting two wars in the Middle East, and we all believe we were attacked by Islamofascist terrorists in 2001 (we'll get to our assumptions of the 9/11 attacks at a later date, after I've established some crucial points). Sex sells. Ms. Smith was a filthy harlot, and for some reason, the people of this great nation were so enthralled with her story, enough that the ratings kept our news (not entertainment news, but NATIONAL news) coverage fresh with her stories of drug overdoses and love affairs.

Other examples could include Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, or any other young hussies from our media's Blow-job Brigade, but I think you get the point.

Bottomline-- you're not going to hear about BS like that on here, because simply, I have more important things to discuss. But I beg all of you, please recognize how we are being brainwashed by our media and, in the words of Dr. Michael Savage, we are being turned into a nation of "beaten men." We care more about the superficial happenings and the media wants to keep it that way. After all, if that is what we become so used to hearing about, it will be a lot easier for things to go unnoticed to most Americans.
