Poor man wanna be richRich man wanna be kingAnd a king ain’t satisfied‘Til he rules everything
Badlands – Springsteen
I know Springsteen has aged into a far-left establishment shill who fell for the Covid scam, got his jabs and boosters, and is now clearly vaxx injured, as he had to cancel his world tour because of “illness”. During the covid scamdemic he made his audiences prove they were vaxxed, and then had to cancel multiple concerts because band members tested positive for covid. He and Neil Young, the anti-establishment bad boys during the early 1970’s, are now a laughing-stock to any critical thinking person who didn’t buy the government and media propaganda about a non-lethal flu bug.
Be that as it may, Springsteen’s 1978 album – Darkness on the Edge of Town – is my favorite, probably because most of the songs are dark and angry, matching my personality. Times in this country were not good in the mid 1970s. A president resigned over Watergate. Inflation was raging due to central bank and government incompetence.
The OPEC oil embargo due to the U.S. support for Israel created supply shortages and long lines at gas stations across the badlands of America. It seems support for Israel hurting America has been a constant theme over the last 50 years. As a 12 year old kid, I remember waiting in those gas lines with my dad. There were no smart phones to kill the time, maybe just my latest edition of Sports Illustrated to read.
The four lines above from Badlands pretty much sum up how the world works and how it has always worked. Everyone on this earth has 80 to 100 years, if they are lucky, to make their mark. We know a virtuous decent person would just want to work hard, earn a fair wage, marry, raise honest upstanding children, teach them morals, be a benefit to their community, and leave the world a better place than when they entered. But we know the forces of evil will not allow this path for most people.
The American Dream was a glorious fantasy, to keep the masses sedated and malleable, as those behind the scenes, pulling the strings of society, as documented by Edward Bernays in his 1928 book Propaganda, would never allow the dream to be realized by most.
“The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.” – James Truslow Adams – The Epic of America – 1931
The American Dream has always been a fallacy, with a brief period during the 1950s and 1960s where some of the poor were able to elevate their status to the middle class. Since the 1970s, the poor have gotten poorer, even though they have been convinced by their overlords they are richer through the use of seemingly limitless debt. Driving expensive sports cars and living in McMansions while up to your eyeballs in debt is not getting richer. Buying shit you don’t need with one of your ten credit cards, to keep up with the Joneses, while paying 24% interest on the balance is not getting richer. The only ones getting richer are the already rich bankers.
There are many rich men in this world, and they aren’t satisfied with those riches. They want to use their wealth to gain more wealth, power and control over others. Life is a game to many of these psychopaths, and they want to win at all costs. Millionaires want to be billionaires. Billionaires want to be the wealthiest billionaire. And these soulless greedy accumulators of wealth want to be king and rule everything. Gates and Soros are poster boys for Springsteen’s description. They do not want to build a better world. They want to remake the world, unleashing a darkness that will engulf and destroy the planet. These are evil men who have a vast army of equally evil men working to fulfill their satanic agenda.
The gathering gloom you are feeling is real. As most people go about their daily lives, rooting for their football teams, posting drivel on facebook and twitter, buying tickets to Taylor Swift’s concert movie, staring at their i-gadget prisons, and wondering why their standard of living keeps going down, psychopaths in suits are pushing the world toward World War 3. Time to get right with the lord and be prepared for the worst. There truly is a darkness on the edge of town and it is bearing down on us like a locomotive. The dream is real and it should be waking you up at night with a fear so real. Welcome to the badlands.
Talk about a dreamTry to make it realYou wake up in the nightWith a fear so realYou spend your life waitingFor a moment that just don’t comeWell, don’t waste your time waiting

At the time 1975 was a miserable year; now it seems like a virtual paradise compared to.the modern current shitshow we find ourselves in.
I would almost pay to have Richard Nixon back, it is that bad.
Nixon wasn’t any worse than the rest. He was set up anyway
But in no way treated like Trump…..he was still revered after his Presidency…that should tell you all you need…..controlled opposition and club member.
He did what he was told…that’s why the FED is a monster.
“Cadillac Ranch”
Well, there she sits buddy just a gleaming in the sun
There to greet a working man when his day is done
I’m gonna pack my pa and I’m gonna pack my aunt
I’m gonna take them down to the Cadillac Ranch
Eldorado fins, whitewalls and skirts
Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth
Well buddy when I die throw my body in the back
And drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines let ’em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur
Yeah it fucking killed me when ‘ol brucie went woke, just another entertainment zombie lost to the echo chamber of insanity.
Woody Guthrie et al are turning over in their graves.
Mofo could write some great songs, sigh.
Woodie Guthrie was a pure, unadulterated phony. He HATED the middle class, was a scion of wealth and classically trained. His schtick was SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, for the poor downtrodden masses, no middle bourgeoisie to interfere, of course all run by wise people… like him.
He also couldn’t sing worth a shit. His kid Arlo can at least sing.

It’s just not realistic to expect better, is it?
For those who think Nixon didn’t recognize the problem…

Can’t you see the parallels in the way Nixon and Trump were treated by the establishment media whores?
America won’t be fixed, congress is corrupt to the core see:https://redrightupdates.com/heres-the-list-of-rinos-taking-dark-money-from-bill-gates/ Politicians are on the take, will accept bribes from anyone. Voting won’t fix anything at this point in time. The system is unfixable.
Millions of civil service union members, bureaucrats, and .mil suckers are also on the take and will dance wit’ the one wut brung ’em: .gov.
And still have the gall to call themselves Americans……..selfish communists more like it…if they have NO PROBLEM subjugating their fellow countryman…what the hell are they then!!!!!!!!!

“Education: the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.”
~ Mark Twain
“It is the natural tendency of the ignorant to believe what is not true. In order to overcome that tendency it is not sufficient to exhibit the true; it is also necessary to expose and denounce the false. To admit that the false has any standing in court, that it ought to be handled gently because millions of morons cherish it and thousands of quacks make their livings propagating it—to admit this, as the more fatuous of the reconcilers of science and religion inevitably do, is to abandon a just cause to its enemies, cravenly and without excuse.” ― H. L. Mencken

Before Maria Bartiromo had two Israel shills on this morning (Mike Pompeo and Michael McCaul R-Tx– who said we SHOULD get involved in Israel’s war to keep them
from obliterating Iran” ??) Within the first 30 seconds of the show start,Bartiromo said, “Israel is readying a ground assault on Gaza to retaliate for the worst terror attack ON ISRAEL since 9/11.” WTF? What kind of bizarre gaslighting is THAT?
As a CFR whore, that’s her job.
…and they need to be afraid.
Just what’s happening in Israel!
It drives me crazy contemplating how rich we’d all be if we just eliminated the income tax. They just print the money THEY need so why not shit-can the IRS and keep the money we earned? But I stopped dreaming for that great awakening long ago. People are just too propagandized and/or stupid to throw off the shackles.
End the Fed, the MIC, all exec branch alphabet agencies, and decouple from all “entangling alliances” the Founders spoke of. Have several states secede. Legalize freedom – and demand responsibility.
Why not demand that from now on, all people should be nice to each other.
End Problems Now !
The main point of income tax is to keep you down
And the main point of the IRS and the income tax is to know WHERE and HOW you make your money, the tax receipts are just the icing on the cake
Maybe they do not want all of us to be rich?
They don’t want any competition. And of course, their positions of power require that most of the citizens remain slaves.
l played the heck out of my brothers Darkness on the Edge of Town record as a teenager.
I bought his live 4 CD set at a garage sale and it is awesome. Especially the monologue on his being rejected for the vietnam draft for I think flat feet and returning home and telling his dad who he constantly fought with he was rejected and his dad simply replying “good”.
Too bad Springsteen and Mellencamp both went full commie libtard.
Dickstain and Melonhead were always commie libtards. It was overlooked, they weren’t the enemy back then, much like Dezero and the rest they entertained.
They were always commies playing you and your generation, just as rap and hippies played other generations.
‘Twas ever thus. All reality’s a psyop.

Reading several books about the Manson murders in 1969, and what we’ve been told, especially in Vincent Bugliosi’s book, “Helter Skelter”, were fabrications, lies, embellishments, untruths, and false hoods. This is not to say that Manson and his Family were paragons of virtue, FAR from it, but the Hollywood scene and the music scene, were thoroughly and disgustingly depraved, corrupt, vicious, and absolutely amoral.
And yes, US intelligence agencies were involved.
Cultural changes, protests, and uprisings are not the grass root gatherings of a disenfranchised, disillusioned people, these movements, groups, organizations, (think Antifa, BLM) are ALWAYS top down operations, led by the “elite” of the United States and other nations.
NOTHING happens in government by accident, we would do well to remember that.
If you haven’t read “Chaos” by Tom O’Neil it s a must-read. He spent 20 years researching IT AND debunking Bugliosi in it. He interviewed him several times.
Dave McGowan’s brilliant insight into the Laurel Canyon music crew and their military intelligence connections. BTW Neil Young was a big promoter of Charles Manson declaring him to be a musical and poetic genius. Luckily for Young the media conveniently forgot his adulation of the controlled psychopath:
It’s The Charley Manson Show.
Starring:
Sharon Tate- Horror film actress.
Roman Polanski- Horror film director.
Charles Manson-Musician, actor.
Maybe but not necessarily always commies.
Millions upon millions of dollars to burn for playing music likely did it to them.
Just hanging out enjoying life best as we can while watching and waiting for that darkness to fully descend and envelope the whole earth prior to the second coming of Jesus.
You will die waiting for sure with your eyes wide shut.
either way the end result is the same
Biblical historians are quite clear on this matter- Early Christians, notably Jesus, Paul, the disciples, and other followers were all convinced that the end of times was near and that an earthly kingdom presided over by Jesus would be established within the lifetime of some people who were then currently alive. The Bible claims that Jesus made the following comment:
Matthew 16:28
“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
Jesus also advised against going to court against someone who steals from you and also told people not to store up stocks or reserves for the future. Clearly, he thought the end was very near.
Likewise, Paul advised followers not to marry and that the end time was near. In this scripture he obviously believes that some of the people he is talking to will still be alive at the second coming.
I Thessalonians 4: 16-18
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
The obvious fact is that the second coming was not forthcoming at that time, or even close to being near. The nearly 2000-year delay is a strong piece of evidence that Christianity is a failed religion.
The following quote from Stephen L. Harris, Professor Emeritus of Humanities and Religious Studies at California State University- Sacramento, completes this point with a devastating argument. Remember that Jesus was a Jew who had no intention to deviate from the Hebrew scriptures:
Jesus did not accomplish what Israel’s prophets said the Messiah was commissioned to do: He did not deliver the covenant people from their Gentile enemies, reassemble those scattered in the Diaspora, restore the Davidic kingdom, or establish universal peace (cf.Isa. 9:6–7; 11:7–12:16, etc.). Instead of freeing Jews from oppressors and thereby fulfilling God’s ancient promises—for land, nationhood, kingship, and blessing—Jesus died a “shameful” death, defeated by the very political powers the Messiah was prophesied to overcome. Indeed, the Hebrew prophets did not foresee that Israel’s savior would be executed as a common criminal by Gentiles, making Jesus’ crucifixion a “stumbling block” to scripturally literate Jews. (1 Cor.1:23)
The fact that Jesus was wrong about the end of the world is good news to all of us alive today because otherwise we would not have been born

True Story: Star Date 1975
I was a junior in high school and working at a gas station in So. Cal. during the oil embargo. Going by the the first number on your license plate you could only buy gas on a matching odd or even day and their was a $10 max limit you could buy.
The person that I had replaced (who had been fired) still had his Texaco shirt and hat. There were long lines going down the street and this guy (out of our view) with his shirt and hat on, went down the line and in order to “speed things up” collected cash from people and wrote down how much they had paid on a generic receipt and told them to hand it to the attendant when they got to the pump. You can imagine what happened when these people got to the pump and realized they had been scammed. We had to close the station down and call the cops. I was literally scared for my life.
Yes, they are laughing stocks now, but I’ll take Neal’s body of work over Bruce any day. Never seen a Bruce concert but have seen Neal three times with Crazy Horse, awesome and LOUD!
Not that it matters, its Neil, and yes he’s a loudmouth cunt like the others. You are correct seen him at least 10 times, along with Clapton, never saw Dickstain once, never cared to. Clapton is the best, the real thing, although I doubt he thinks he’s God unlike the others.
Agree on Clapton, saw him when he was touring the “Slowhand” album late 70’s.
Jeff Beck could play just as well but was a different style, not as much minor pentatonic blues style, like Clapton. Gotta’ throw SRV in there too.
Buddy Guy is the best living blues guitarist IMHO. Dude still goes out into the audience and let’s people take selfies while he plays!
Sorry…getting off topic…..
Buddy Guy is amazing. He’s old as dirt and surely still a threat. And a lot of those old Englishmen modeled themselves after him, they’ve said.
Buddy Guy is amazing but I believe Joe Bonamassa is the best living blues guitarist.
Gary Hoey’s pretty good, too.
Just saw Colin James a week ago at Casino in Moncton..
He’s pretty good too!
Yes and try Crystal Shawanda for a female Canuck blues artist.
Actually I like Walter Trout at that position, but a lot depends on what subgenre of blues is your favorite. Not a huge fan of Delta blues, though I like James Cotton, but modern electric blues is my favorite subgenre of the blues. My favorites blues playlist is 225:songs long.
Oops 2225 songs long
Omg! 😳 that’s quite a story. I graduated in 1975. I do not remember gas lines for some reason. Must have blocked it from memory.
Maybe you were stoned or daddy still paid for all your gas? Graduated in 74 and remember it all to well.
76 grad, I remember. Almost got in a fight waiting in line once with the gas station owner in NJ.
Looking back, he was stressed out, I was a dumb f*ck teenager
All HS grads are dumbfucks the first couple of years.
Trying to recall how the “oil embargo” gasoline rationing worked in Texas. I remember gasoline went to 50 cents per gallon. Not recalling exactly , I believe the same system of odd or even at least in the DFW area. I was driving a VW bug and I think it got over 40 MPG. Still 50 cents for a gallon of gasoline was a shock.
That guy who was fired had some guts didn’t he? Just goes to show in order to make money one has to take chances.

On Energy, a Lesson for Texas From the 1970s
I know for a fact that there was no shortage of oil back in the 1970’s, only the perception of an oil shortage that led to higher priced gasoline. How do I know this? Because I witnessed an attorney whom I personally knew selling tankers of oil as fast as he and his partner could possibly sell the tankers that were stacked up in the Gulf of Mexico to offload their oil cargo. I spent years trying to figure out how he got to do this. His brother was high up in Louisiana politics, so I wrote it off to this. However, when this man died, his obituary stated that he was a Knight of Malta. Go figure.
You go that right. It was a pure BS. A friend of mine knew a trucker who was dumping oil in the desert. He would load up, in LA, told to go to a location and just dump it.
” ……a friend of mine new……”
There’s some concrete evidence right there.
Logical people know putting all the little thing together confirms the big thing. The big thing is the Global Cabal controls oil and will do anything to make an extra buck.
Like someone else already said here, it’s all designed to keep you down. Those bastards already have all the money in the world.
A friend of a friend ‘s uncles nephew’s acquaintance said….
Not to forget what else was happening. Nixon’s price freeze was an attempt to control inflation… or something. The oil companies got around it with their “shortage” & the whole plan went tits up.
Dont change Dicks in the middle of a screw,
Vote for Nixon in ’72.
Price and wage controls, Phases one, two and three. Phase three we had all been fucked enough by then. Ford pardoned Nixon and we got Carter, worst president ever until slow Joe took the title.
“Everyone on this earth has 80 to 100 years, if they are lucky, to make their mark.”
Psalms 90:10 – The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
My old man made it to nearly fivescore years. Died at 96. Drove until he was 93.
This is why insurance rates keep going up.
Too many old people sideswiping cars in parking lots.
Damn fender benders ! I’ve been crunched twice in three years by crypt keepers.
He never sideswiped anyone. He drove very well. I took his license away on the recommendation of his doctor because he was showing signs of onset dementia, which rapidly advanced in the next year. We got out in front of any potential problems.
Don’t over-generalize. Maybe the problem is with your driving if you keep having accidents.
Instead of taking his license away you should have made him president to live out his golden years.
I wanna die peacefully in my sleep, like Grandpa – not screaming in terror and pain, like his passengers.
LOL !!!
It’s an oldie but a goodie.
ROFL!!
Compare the driving records of the under-30s to the senior citizens. And then STFU.
on a per mile basis,the elderly are by far the worst drivers but since many of them really do only drive to the grocery store or church,their driving records do not appear to be so bad —
just as importantly,no politician wants to be seen as being against the elderly —
Define elderly to help us understand.
Didn’t leave yourself a way out?
On you bro.
My dad made it to 99, and I don’t think anything actually killed him. He just turned his face to the wall and refused to eat. Didn’t take long.
And my mom made it to 92 until she decided to get vaxxed. She would have lived a lot longer. Her story and photo where published recently in Henry Makow’s web site.
…kinda new to The Bible. Believed “120 yrs”, as mentioned in Genesis. Thought that was the allotted timespan for the longest.
STILL an ‘ify’ proposition for me to analyze/interpret, but i think the 120 yrs in Genesis was actually the warning until the Time of The Flood, according to the reference i use almost exclusively.
“Genesis 6:3 “And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”
“My spirit shall not always strive with man” is a reference to the Holy Spirit striving with, in the sense of judging or convicting, mankind for its sinfulness. Man was given 120 years after this warning, before the judgment of the Flood actually came.
God set a specific time limit before any penalty would occur in order to give humans a chance to repent. This principle is used repeatedly, such as when Nineveh was given a period to repent before any judgment was rendered (Jonah 3:9-10). This time span allowed the ways of righteousness to be preached (2 Peter 2:5), to the people while work was ongoing.
The Holy Spirit played a most active role in the Old Testament. The Spirit had been striving to call men to repentance and righteousness, especially as Scripture notes, through the preaching of Enoch and Noah (1 Pet. 3:20; 2 Pet. 2:5; Jude 14).
“Hundred and twenty years”: The span of time until the Flood (1 Peter 3:20), in which man was given opportunity to respond to the warning that God’s Spirit would not always be patient.
————–
Psalm 90:10 “The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.”
“Threescore years … fourscore years”: Though Moses lived to be 120 years old, and his “eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated” (Deut. 34:7), human life was usually briefer and lived under the anger of God. Because of this certain and speedy end, life is sad.
Moses is saying that 70 years is the natural life span of a person on this earth. Some stronger people even live to be 80, but even at that, it is very short. In our day, a few are living to be 100 years old, but even that when measured against all of eternity, is but one tick on God’s clock. I love the part that says (we fly away). Christians, to be absent from this body, is to present with the Lord. What a wonderful homecoming we have. This world is not our home. We are but passing through.”
Yes, if you like to believe in bullshit!
Sure, keep dreaming. The only reason for your existence is to slave for the system and procreate to bring a new generation that’s going to replace you in the farm. After that, your body will self destruct and disintegrate like that of any other animal. Anything to the contrary, was designed by TBTB to give you false hope for the future. The proverbial carrot on a stick. Read the book of Ecclesiates in the “Holy Bible”.
LOTS of good stuff in that Book. Too.
1 Of my Favorites, as a matter of fact!
Truer words have… Well actually? The Whole Book is FULL of good Stuff!
The Bible? Free Will.
NEVER even knew this passage was from The Bible, Let alone Ecclesiastes (think that’s the spelling)
1:9 The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun.
‘BELIEVER’ in the premise, 1st time i ran across it…can NOT even remember if i heard it or read it…Decades before i became a ‘religeous Nut’.
ANYTHING in particular that You are thinking of that i may have read incorrectly?
You obviously missed the most important parts.
Do Tell.
Ah, it takes longer if you are embalmed, in a lead lined fiberglass coffin inside a concrete vault.
But not a lot longer.
Not if they are vaxxed!
…”but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.”
WE HAVE THIS NOW.
We do have this already. It’s just that because of productivity gains, monopolistic practices/acceptance, regulations/laws and global wage arbitrage we will continue to see income and wealth inequality accelerate. Worldwide. Why do you think they talk about things such as UBI?
Good or bad, right or wrong, like it or not, when wealth/income inequality gets bad enough, bad things happen.
Censorship has been common place before I was born.
I cannot discuss Thomas Goodrich’s Hellstorm: The Death of Nazi Germany, 1944-1947 in literate society (excluding TBP). I can make reference to it; however, I can neither discuss the atrocities committed nor the unprecedented viciousness world leaders demonstrated. Censorship creep has created a public of illiterates.
US Gov loathe farmers.
On US history, The Department of AG thug-cornered their way onto farmers’ lands by shouting “Go Big or Go Home”.
That is hugely insightful to me and a lot of things clicked in place when I read it, so thanks wildhorses.
Adam censored Eve. She deservesd it through, eating that nasty fruit and tricking him into tasting it too.
QUESTION:
What is holding anyone back from achieving all of that which they can acheive?
TaxesExtortions that you owe.You were forced by someone to fill out a w2?
Why didn’t you write “exempt”?
LOL, one of the best pieces of advice my uncle gave me when I was young.
Don’t be “that guy” who puts EXEMPT on your W-2.
Did that and it cost me >$185,000 in fines and interest penalties. Took the IRS a few years but then the letters came, my employer was instructed to withhold at the maximum single-filer rate. Lein placed on my home. I was lucky to refinance and payoff the debt.
I got back at the fed gov by getting a contractor position and they’ve paid me back what I lost 10x in contract fees. Of course, taxes were taken out, but I’m still far in front of what I lost.
If I live another 10 years, I’ll recoup my lifetime SSI deductions and be 2x ahead on that, too.
I now guys that did, they ended up in prison. That’s why
Force.
For the most part the person in the mirror.
Congratulations, ASIG. You win the INternet for today.
Yeah, but what was the prize awarded for? Certainly not for any awareness of the realities of America today.
Organized leftist campaigns against white men, Asians, and high achievers. Cultural anti-American propaganda. Malevolent education systems. Regulatory capture by soulless businesses. Deliberate importation of illegal aliens to keep wages down.
Quite a moronic question.
State force. Read some libertarian writings.
Is it OK to read this piece if Im NOT VAXXED ?
Always liked Neil Young better than Springstein, probably from being a Midwestern country boy, and Bruce was more of a city boy.
Very very sad they both turned into such libtard idiots, there’s no denying their musical talent.
Fuck ’em both – they have shown their true colours: media tools.
Neil Young was always a libtard- I present as evidence one of his early “hits” Southern Man.
That’s right – and even back then a southern man didn’t need him around anyhow.
Both are spoiled pieces of shit who road their careers as commanded by their DoD handlers.
You have it russ. there are thousands of musicians out there who are as talented as the stars. Stars are made not born.
They were always idiots, you where just young and didn’t notice it.
I was never a big fan of the Boss. Guess you had to be from Jewsey.
Not from jersey but loved the Born to Run and Darkness albums– even many songs on The River ( Point Blank, Factory, No Surrender, the River title track)
They were blue-collar, streets of the city/burbs songs about the struggles of the everyday man. Once Born in the USA came out it was chit and worse progressively.
Those first two records about being young and restless and losing sleep down by the pond with yer buds were just fine.
Impressionist Anthony Cumia tears The Boss a new exit strategy:
OMG!
Thankyou for the share. Never wanted to buy, listen to or play a single song from Sprungstein.
The problem with him like a lot of other performers, is you hear one song and you have heard them all.
No virus has ever been isolated and proven to replicate
Or proven to exist. It’s just another pharma trick brought to us for trusting “the science”.
Was in MBA Skool 74-76. In 73-74 gasoline surged from 21-22¢/gal to 35ish. In some states you could not fill up, based on the last digit on your tag -“Even” & “Odd” alternated days.
No jobs. Pumped gas, changed oil & delivered home heating oil, plus handled some office clerical to make ends meet. And, the economy did not recover until 82-83.
Today’s snowflakes & SJWs will not make it. Or die in the Middle East.
High school in the early 80’s and you could get a 6-pack and a 75c pack of Marlboro’s and get some change back from a $5 bill.
These items are not scarce or harder to produce now, they have devalued the purchasing power of our money that much since then.
Everyone would pitch in a buck and we could ride around or take a road trip with $5 of gas in the tank.
These things are at least 10x the cost of back then but my first job I made $38k and I can tell you I don’t make even 5x that amount now so costs have gone up more than twice as fast as my income has in the past 40 years.
The taxes on a pack of smokes today is about 3 times what you paid for a pack of cigarettes in ’75
Good incentive to quit the vice!
I was in OK in ’75 selling diesel engines to the oil field and times were GREAT until ’82 when it all tanked.
+ 1000 Springsteen, for all his leftarded stupid is a true American poet… Albums Nebraska, The River and Ghost of old Tom Joad are lyrical masterpieces… I wouldn’t throw out the baby with bathwater. Note to BL, if he’s still on this side of the veil… tell me something I don’t know.
An absolute masterpiece lamenting the fall of American industry.
The Neil Young Project.
Created by the DoD as a continuation oftheir blackwash of the growing grass roots peace movement of the times.
Maybe, but you sure have a great blog, stellar entries and generally good comments from readers, too.
There was more than a hint of sublime transcendence in that piece. I had a college pal who saw Springsteen in concert on four separate occasions and he said each performance was better than the last. My friend spoke of those live performances with a near religious fervor.
It’s strange how so many (former) “rage against the machine” rockers have sold out to said machine in their later years.
And, sadly, it’s not much different with the average John Q., just in other ways.

The euphoria they feel is the power of mass hypnosis. This is not a good thing. They were tested and found wanting.

“Due to central bank and government incompetence”….you could have stopped right there……central bank!,check……government incompetence????….hold up there……just a piece of the “Long March” bro…..many saw it then! Thanks to the inter web,many, many more people see it now!…oh how innocent we all were then!
Of course,I was only thirteen…….
Not surprising is that throughout recorded history including The Bible almost all the Worldly “Governments” in any form including Empires & Monarchies have shown utter Contempt, Disdain & outright Hatred for their own people. Those in power Always become corrupt if they are not already due to Insanity, Ego, Paranoia & Fear of the people. What these Demonic Fucks Need to be Afraid of is GOD – the 1st sign of True Wisdom is the Fear of GOD.
Not if they’re really serving that “god” that most people have been fooled into worshiping.
Growing up in fairly rural new England in the 70s and 80s I must admit I grew up on the Boss, Melloncamp and Neil Young. We rode our 3 wheelers, dirt bikes and snowmobiles in the woods drinking beers, having fires and listening to those great tunes. I separate their ridiculous politics from their music. My grandparents owned a couple small gas stations with service and repair bays. They always had plenty of gas for my dad’s Road Runner and all his buddies muscle cars. We stopped in after hours, unlocked the pumps, filled up and gave my grandad the IOU.
springstein….a jew who was a horrible musician at the onset of his “career”.
Can’t say he ever did much for me.
Dutch, Irish, and Italian. Roman Catholic.
Another dumfuk chimes in with a worthless false comment.
SpringSTEEN – Dutch:
https://www.houseofnames.com/springsteen-family-crest
https://www.houseofnames.com/steen-family-crest
My first foster family was named Steen. The bad was of Dutch stock.
*dad (not bad)
He is a jew
Wrong fukwad.
Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen was born at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, New Jersey, on September 23, 1949. He is of Dutch, Irish and Italian descent. He grew up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey.
Technically, none of those things preclude being a Jews. Catholics have an entire sect of Jews called Jesuits. I am not saying he is a Jew, though.
His original name was Irving Rothstein. He changed it when he got baptized.
It doesn’t matter. They’re all over and even change their names. Besides, being Jewish isn’t a race. It’s a religion. The Zionists are the ones that want you to think they’re a people. That’s how they stole Palestine. With the BS of a land without people for a people without a land.
If you can tell your religion by a DNA test, you’re a race.
And you are a one-trick threetard.
Just a correction: Darkness on the Edge of Town was not released in 1975. It was 1978 if memory serves.
Regards to all and Mr. Quinn
Thanks for the catch. Fixed.
May I put in a vote for the Nebraska album? “Mr. State Trooper, please don’t stop me.”
I don’t know what you do with your lives…but the American Dream is just like anyone who has been on earths dream. To grow up without torture, to enjoy childhood learning and growing. To go forth and make your way, I loved animals so worked as a vet tech. I have goats. I raise dogs and puppies to guard those goats. I grow my own food, can and save our food. The dream is to live life free…
That is not being asleep.
How long is that illusion going to last you?
Corruption, not “incompetence”. They love it this way, long as they get paid more than we.
Springstein and the obnoxious Neil Young have always been promoted by the MIC. Neil Young had no interest in the peace movement like the rest of his heavily promoted folk artist brethren (Dylan included) during the Vietnam war era, sidelining the real peace activists. Springstein has to be the most overhyped rock star of all time. His 4 hour concerts include a couple of half decent songs. Neil Young is notorious as one of the most selfish and disagreeable people in the music industry, an industry filled with obnoxious ego maniacs.
Lou Reed’s reputation made Neal Young seem like an angel sent from God…but I liked his music.
My former wife was an accountant for The Hollywood Bowl back in the 80’s and we had free tickets for a ton of shows and sometimes could hang out backstage.
Van Morrison, Elvis Costello and Morrisey (the singer from The Smiths) were disgusting assholes that really stood out.
Joe Cocker, Rod Stewart and Tina Turner were super nice normal people that really stood out.
Morrissey is an anti-multiculti, nationalist Brit.
Being nice and being talented and creative are not related. Some of the biggest assholes are the most talented and creative.
His name is Springsteen, shit4brains. He’s Catholic. The -steen is Dutch. You really need some work for your idle hands . . . and your idling brain.
Sure, it’s Springsteen NOW…
Livin the Dream, one nightmare at a time.
The vaxxiboosted didn’t just fail a human subjugation stupid test. They may have also passed a no faith test from God above.
Which god above? Have you met him or is he a product of you’re indoctrination?
One god, different people have different names for him. Yeah I met him after a bottle of 100 proof bourbon.
If what they do is beautiful, inspired, uplifting, informative, revelatory, unique or in any way an expression of truth, who cares what the person is like or what they think? You gotta separate the art from the artist or you’d have nothing to listen to or look at.
Neil Young’s contributions to music are stellar; great lyricist, awesome guitarist and in a very strange way a unique voice. Springsteen not so much, although he certainly knows how to tell a story that while often depressing are equally poignant and touching.
Music aside I am really enjoying these shorter pieces, Jim. Concise, every bit as brutal as the long ones, and nearly perfect illustrations of the mechanics of what’s wrong with our time and place.
+100
long or short,the writing is always good senor admin but these short essays are an easier read & pack just as much of a punch as the longer ones —
I think allowances for the foibles of artists can be made, or an understanding that you won’t understand them, if they are sufficiently great.
But Neil Young? Maybe it’s a generational or regional thing, but I’ve never personally known anyone who gave two shits about him, or Springsteen, or most of the others mentioned above. Certainly not enough to overcome these last few years (not that any normies gives two shits about that either)
And how come these same people all have been selling their catalogues?
The darkness on the edge of town will be proceeded with even more darkness. We haven’t even begun to feel the anxiety of what lies before us.
“I’ve seen horrors, horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that, but you have no right to judge me. It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror! Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies”
-Colonel Walter E. Kurtz _ Apocalypse Now
racing in the streets and candies room are the ones i remember
it was a GOOD album
The screen door slams, Mary’s dress sways
Like a vision, she dances across the porch as the radio plays…
That’s a beautiful piece of writing.
farmer,
you made me want to listen to it —
one of his best —
Gravel voiced garbage
Thunder Road is a lyrical master piece. Ole Bruce was a good writer, but I was never much of a fan. Neil Young is not only a great lyricist but much of his music is enjoyable and I am a long time fan. As HSF said, I still enjoy the music in spite of the politics, I just ignore their babblings on these things.
Another great read right on the mark. I also like the shorter pieces as much as any of the others. Thanks Admin!
born to run hit the air waves as i was beginning my senior year of hs in 1975 —
i would never spend a dime on him now but he writes songs that do resonate with people,esp those of us who came from the working/lower middle class —
the best badlands version,imo
My wish is that you post something like this every day, Admin. This is must read.
The 70’s may not have been peachy keen but they were still a helluva a lot better than things are now.
Even Peanut Boy Carter was better than Pedo Joe is.
carter/ford was my 1st election & i voted ford —
however,carter has grown on me over the years —
he was honest & the deep state was terrified of him so they chewed him up & spit him out —
along with that,he was dealt a terrible hand,which he did not play well —
he was the last honest dem potus —
Yeah, ’80 was my first election cycle (I voted third party as I have most times since), but I liked Carter and still do.
Serves you right for listening to some goof-ball Jew.
Another asshole promoting misinformation.
I have not watched main stream media since the mid 1970s. Not because they HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LEFTIST – ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN. I was new to my career in my later 20s after the military. I had a job working with people where all day everyday I was dealing with major problems. I realized after sometime – going home and watching the “news” was just too much negativity. So I stopped – you know – I feel like I HAVE NOT MISSED A THING – actually it has been a benefit to my life. I would listen to snipet on the radio, and read the local -yes liberal newspaper – major events I would tune in to MSM but that is all for the past 50 yrs. Now I barely turn on the TV ever too much trash!
Sometimes you read like a split personality. The segments reminiscing about the American Dream are spot on and wonderful. Then you drift into your anger and hatred. The American Dream was and remains real. Even today, good people can better themselves, be faithful to God, raise good children and have a good life. You are certainly correct that there are evil powerists trying their best to ruin life for everyone but themselves. Part of the American Dream is to have the opportunity to fight them every way, every day. Just because there are bad people, and there always have been, doesn’t mean the whole country, or traditional western culture, is thoroughly rotten to the core. From Adam and Eve good people have had to resist evil ones and the devil too. The greatness of America is that it created the best system to do that in history. Lighten up on the country, the gloom and doom, and the negativity. We still have a chance at the Dream. The game isn’t over until its over (Yogi was a genius).
Saint Carlin would like to have a word with you.
You’re obviously totally asleep.
Hi, I’ve been renovating for a while so I’ve looked at a lot of stores and now I know the prices. I advise you to look at https://www.myhomequote.com/cost/gutter-installation/aluminum-gutters-cost where you can contact the managers, specify the parameters of the house and what material you want. I am satisfied with their site and can advise.

The American Dream is a kid, who’s parents migrated from Ireland, can study and work hard, get a scholarship to a prominent Technical University. Graduate, go to work for a major corporation then 10 years later launch his own business. Fail twice but eventually, through persistence, make it work. Retire at 58 and enjoy the fruits of his labour’s.
“In America, we grew up thinking that the people that we see on the nightly news are journalists. But, there is no journalism happening there, only script reading. That is understood by anyone with a sliver of common sense, and the objectivity to realize that their newsperson is basically an actor.”
Charlie Robinson, in his book “The Octopus of Global Control”, 2017
The main media bias is in favor of the thieves who stole our country and economy, and own the mainstream media companies. The omnipresent mainstream media is the greatest weapon of oppression humanity has ever known.”
David DeGraw
“The total result of the manipulation of society by the Establishment elite has been four major wars in sixty years, a crippling national debt, abandonment of the Constitution, suppression of freedom and opportunity, and creation of a vast credibility gulf between the man in the street and Washington, D.C.. While the transparent device of two major parties trumpeting artificial differences, circus-like conventions, and the cliché of “bipartisan foreign policy” no longer carries credibility, and the financial elite itself recognizes that its policies lack public acceptance, it is obviously prepared to go it alone without even nominal public support.”
Antony C. Sutton in his book “Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler”, 1976
Terrorism has become a sort of screen created since the end of the Cold War by policymakers in Washington. It is fabricated to keep the population afraid and insecure, and to justify what the United States wishes to do globally.”
Edward Said
“The modern pantheon of enemies are the banking consortium; the global Elite born and bred from mega-wealth; the academics and economists who disconnect ideas from reality; and the scientific and military minds who are so compartmentalized by design that they rarely know what sort of dictatorship to which they are making their contributions.”
Michael Edwards
The theories offered by economists rationalize the self-interest of big business and the wealthy. Such theories claim to benefit society and the public’s well-being. But they do just the opposite: they make the great mass of people poorer while making the rich fabulously richer.”
Ravi Batra
Americans don’t understand that terrorists cannot take away habeas corpus, the Bill of Rights, or the Constitution. Terrorists are not anything like the threat that we face to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution from our own government in the name of fighting terrorism.”

>I know Springsteen has aged into a far-left establishment shill who fell for the Covid scam, got his jabs and boosters, and is now clearly vaxx injured, as he had to cancel his world tour because of “illness”.
Sure, anybody who got vaccinated during the pandemic and got ill afterwards, got ill because of the vaccine. Nobody ever got ill before the covid vaccine. Hey, nobody ever got ill before vaccines were invented. Disease of all kinds was unknown till medicine was invented in order to get people ill.
If you’re going to the doctor when you get ill, it means that you are willing to believe your doctor. Maybe you want to get a second opinion, from a second doctor. What you certainly don’t want to believe is that the Internet wants to keep you alive, because obviously, it doesn’t, so why the hell would you seek medical advice in a place where people don’t give a flying F about you staying alive? And now that we’re talking about people who don’t want to keep you alive, what about politicians who clearly have a vested interest in slashing your chances of staying alive? They don’t care whether you live or die, they can always get more voters from young people who come of age. They do care about power, and many donors have a vested interest in literally eliminating certain groups of people.
American leaders are perhaps not so much immoral as they are amoral. It’s not that they take pleasure in causing so much death and suffering. It’s that they just don’t care. The same that could be said about a sociopath. As long as the death and suffering advance the agenda of the empire, as long as the right people and the right corporations gain wealth and power and privilege and prestige, as long as the death and suffering aren’t happening to them or people close to them, then they just don’t care about it happening to other people, including the American soldiers whom they throw into wars and who come home – the ones who make it back alive – with Agent Orange or Gulf War Syndrome eating away at their bodies. American leaders would not be in the positions they hold if they were bothered by such things.”
William Blum
IDK, Killary seemed to have taken great pleasure in killing Gaddafi.
I spent thirty-three years in the Marines, most of my time being a hlgh class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism.
I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1910-1912. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City [Bank] boys to collect revenue in. I helped in the rape of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street.
In China in 1927 l helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
I had a swell racket. l was rewarded with honors, medals, promotions. l might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate a racket in three city districts. The Marines operated on three continents.”
General Smedley Butler, former US Marine Corps Commandant, 1935
We are going to have a war on terror which you can never win, and so you can always keep taking people’s liberties away. The media is going to convince everybody that the war on terror is real. The ultimate goal is to get everybody in the world chipped with an RFID chip, and have all money be on the chips, and if anyone wants to protest what we do, we turn off the chip.”
Nicholas Rockefeller to producer Aaron Russo – eleven months before the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks
By essentially removing the US border, and inviting people with justifiable grudges against the US, the table is set for attacks on US soil.
In the newly realized, almost universal desire to “stay safe”, the masses will demand the creation of a total surveillance state.
We will demand to be enslaved.
