3/8/23: WHEN THE TIGERS BROKE FREE

The Biden administration was supposed to Build Back Better but never in the history of this country have we become so fragmented, triggered, victimized, woke, and full of hubris to the point of virtue signaling and policing others’ lives. They are no different than the fascists they claim to be eliminating.  We are witnessing a controlled demolition of our constitutional republic and a shift towards authoritarian governance to deal with the growing resentment and dissent from people who are being forced into poverty and scarcity. Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks about WHEN THE TIGERS BROKE FREE.

3/8/23: WHEN THE TIGERS BROKE FREE

SHOW TRANSCRIPT: 

When I had my third bout of cancer and wondered if I wanted to retire from radio or just ramp Black Sabbath records into the sunset on album rock FM stations, I was back listening to my old favorite bands.

Many people know that I am a Big KISS fan, but I have rarely talked about my obsession with Pink Floyd. Back in the early ’90s, I did a late-night show called “In The Pink.”  I started it without the permission of the program director at the time who was Mike Beck.

Beck called me into his office and showed me the ratings for late night and they were off the charts. He asked me what are you doing at night and I said, I have created a show called In the Pink where I blend Pink Floyd songs together and create soundscapes.  At first, he wanted to fire me over the fact that I broke programming — but then said that he felt that since it was doing okay late at night that I could continue.

It became very popular.

In fact, Pink Floyd was a band that has been very influential on the sound of Ground Zero, especially with the soundscapes we provide. Floyd always had those inserted in albums like Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall.

Lately Pink Floyd celebrated their 50th anniversary of the release of Dark side of the moon. The cover featured the Number 50 on the cover with the well known rainbow featured in the number.

Ignoramuses on the internet went nuts saying that Pink Floyd has gone woke and asked why they have featured a rainbow on their cover — were they trying to cater to the LGBTQ community?

This is how insane people have become when they are unaware that the album cover featured a prism with the color spectrum coming through like a rainbow was coming out it. Back then rainbows were just rainbows.

Roger Waters one of the founders and lead singers of Floyd has been touring.  However, his shows have been attacked by the media lately because Waters has been flashing scenes of war behind him including one that calls Joe Biden a “War Criminal who is just getting started.”

He is blaming him for “fueling the fire” of Russia’s war with Ukraine.

In an interview on CNN,  Waters asked the guy interviewing him why the US does not “encourage” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky “to negotiate, obviating the need for this horrific, horrendous war that’s killing we don’t know how many Russians.”

CNN host Michael Smerconish insisted the Waters had “got it reversed” by “blaming the party that got invaded.”

“Well, any war, when did it start?” Waters replied, pushing a line that Russian President Vladimir Putin has used to justify his invasion.

There was a heated politically charged exchange when Waters stated:

“You could say it started in 2008 – this war is basically about the action and reaction of NATO pushing right up to the Russian border, which they promised they wouldn’t do when [former Soviet leader Mikhail] Gorbachev negotiated the withdrawal of the USSR from the whole of Eastern Europe,”

Waters shared a similar alternative view when Smerconish suggested China was “busy encircling Taiwan” with ongoing military drills in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the self-governed island.

“They’re not encircling Taiwan – Taiwan is part of China!” Waters said emphatically.

“And that’s been absolutely accepted by the whole of the international community since 1948 – and if you don’t know that, you’re not reading enough. Go and read about it!”

With songs like “When the Tigers Broke Free” and the whole anti-war album The Final Cut, you can see that over the years Roger Waters has been a consistent anti-war activist.

Now just barely a year has passed and the war continues to get worse and Biden continues to hide behind a mask by keeping the war a so-called proxy war — where with plausible deniability he can state that we are not really at war with Russia but we are and he needs to start taking responsibility for not only fueling the fires of war in the first place, and even bringing the war home.

After I did the show Hodge Podge Sabotage where I was theorizing that most of the catastrophes we have been seeing in this country were acts of Russian or Chinese saboteurs — there was a story that was reported the day after that seemed a bit circumstantial and hardened my resolve about my theory.

A California man accused of blowing up two Pacific Gas and Electric transformers allegedly had large amounts of explosive materials and an inactive methamphetamine lab in his home– police had reported.

The man, is 36 year old Peter Karasev was arrested and faces multiple charges, including two counts of exploding a destructive device, two counts of destroying an electrical line and an arson charge related to the “transformer bombings.”

I did a quick check on the name Karasev and of course, the name is a Russian name.

There were no reports of him being a Russian agent but I noted the coincidence anyway.

During an interview with police following his arrest, Karasev reportedly mentioned he was interested in “model rocketry” and thought that was why he was in custody, according to the complaint.

“The suspect said he was told that there were warrants being served at his house and he was concerned because there was stuff related to model rockets there,” the complaint stated, adding that he reportedly said “that there could be something that would be misconstrued as an explosive device, but it was meant to propel something.”

Drug Enforcement Administration agents also found an “inactive” meth lab in the home’s garage and Kaserev allegedly admitted to using methamphetamine as a replacement for Adderall during an Adderall shortage, according to the complaint.

“The chemical smell was so strong tactical units needed to pull off the garage door to vent the area,” the complaint stated. “Chemicals were located on the floor unsecured and easily accessible to children.”

A motive for the blowing up of the transformers was not immediately available or perhaps it was covered up– we don’t need messy details of a Russian agent destroying transformers.

People are so confused and so propagandized that it’s almost as if they have no sense of pattern recognition, or have never read a chapter in a book. This is a war, a US war against Russia. Why? Because the US is NATO.

NATO is a Halloween mask. It’s just the US–the extension of the US military around the world by another name. Pure and simple.

Now when you find all of these things that they’re finding, all the material, all of the connections and the proof that NATO is much more involved than they claim. This is to say that the US is involved. This is the extension of the US.

So in this case is Roger waters correct in calling Joe Biden a war criminal Just getting started?

The US is involved in its forever war against everything and everybody.  Sometimes the mask slips and people see it. But Biden in his forever quest to be a “peace and equality” President hides behind proxies,  hides behind local conflicts, and he wants to make it seem like he is doing something else. But the longer it goes we have to step up and say that we are directly involved.

A new nationwide study from the Trafalgar Group and Convention of States Action (COSA) reveals that 43.4 percent of US voters believe the country is on the brink of World War III, considering the war in Ukraine, perceived threats against other European nations, and China’s aggressive posture against the United States.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping issued an unusually blunt rebuke of U.S. policy on Monday, blaming what he termed a Washington-led campaign to suppress China for recent challenges facing his country.

“Western countries—led by the U.S.—have implemented all-round containment, encirclement and suppression against us, bringing unprecedentedly severe challenges to our country’s development,” Mr. Xi was quoted by state media as saying on Monday.

Mr. Xi’s comments marked an unusual departure for a leader who has generally refrained from directly criticizing the U.S. in public remarks—even as his decade-long leadership has demonstrated a pessimistic view of the bilateral relationship.

The comments were part of a speech to members of China’s top political advisory body during an annual legislative session in Beijing, according to a Chinese-language readout published by the official Xinhua News Agency.

Mr. Xi has typically been more measured and vague regarding the U.S. and other Western countries, referring to them as “certain” countries rather than naming them explicitly.

Now by directly accusing the U.S. of seeking containment, a term loaded with Cold War meaning, Mr. Xi appears to be associating himself more closely with nationalist rhetoric—widely used by lower-ranking officials and state media—that attacks Washington, at a time when bilateral tensions continue to simmer over trade, technology, geopolitical influence and discordant views on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

President Biden appears to be in over his head and the very fears that were being said about Trump before the election about him pushing us towards world war three are now the realities that have been provoked by Joe Biden and it is indefensible.

The Convention of States President, Mark Meckler stated

“While the Biden Administration and its allies in corporate media continue to downplay the existential threat posed by China, Russia, Iran, and other enemies of the free world, the American people see clearly that we are at a moment of unprecedented risk for our nation and the world.

Our weakness and incompetence–on the border, on energy policy, and on our approach to China–are increasing the risk of international armed conflict in a highly-nuclearized age.”

China’s new foreign minister, meanwhile, says the United States is heading for “conflict and confrontation” with Beijing, and that Washington needs to change its “distorted” attitude towards China.

Qin Gang stated from Beijing:

“If the United States does not hit the brakes, and continues to speed down the wrong path, no amount of guardrails can prevent derailment, which will become conflict and confrontation, And who will bear the catastrophic consequences?”

There seems to be this window of time marching forward to the Ides of March when war campaigns become stronger and the deaths of the innocent increase.

This is a war against time, against history. Think of the unimaginable arrogance it takes to think that you can freeze time.

We are certainly going to become victims of utter failure. Because we lack leadership, and we have a President who is locked into the time warp of keeping us in the 1980s Cold War crescendo but this time they want the outcome to be nuclear Armageddon.

They dream of repeating what happened in the 1980s when Russian intervention in Afghanistan led to the weakening and ultimate breakup of the Soviet Union.

No Empire has succeeded in freezing time.  The unspeakable hubris it takes not only to try to shape the development of life but to stop it. and this is how you know that they are at work. They’re at work in Ukraine; but that’s not enough: They need to cull populations, destroy legacy systems, let them blight and decay with neglect– and have them turn to ash in a nuclear conflagration.

Why would Biden care? His days are numbered on this earth and like a good cult leader he wants to take as many people with him when he decides to pass from this planet.

I don’t know exactly why people are so malleable. How the party of pacifism became Warhawks.

They even had Zelensky appearing at the Grammys!

Today, US neocons running foreign policy are sacrificing Ukraine with the same goal of undermining Russia. They could not live with a neutral Ukraine and promoted and allied with ultra-nationalist and neo-Nazi Ukrainian elements. Previously Washington did not want anything to do with the neo-Nazis but this has changed.

But keep in mind only conspiracy theorists point out this history, Where the Ukrainian civil war was orchestrated during the Obama era and continued in the Biden Era.

The news is so censored and so filtered that it’s a wonder that they know anything at all. They have this farce–they are pumping up support for this chapter of the Forever War.

The Orwellian war is meant to be continuous.

It is so senseless that you cannot talk about any of the real things that are happening anymore. You now have to express yourself using approved words and phrases that do not offend these sensitive losers that can’t handle reality.

They say that if you don’t humble yourself before the woke crowd you are a fascist or a Nazi — it is becoming so predictable.

But little do they know that our government has been working with the Nazis since the 1940s.  And with their parents and their grandparents. There’s no secret about this.

Even these liberal intellectuals and so-called politically conscious and aware types would have admitted this. This was not controversial even a year or two ago. There were articles everywhere about the Nazi problem in Ukraine, about using the Nazis. Again we come back to the notion of pattern recognition. Why are they so surprised? Why is it such a shock?

It is a shock because they are trying to erase their Nazi pasts and propping up new ones like the loveable George Soros or the new Fuhrer Klaus Schwab.

hen you have the people involved who want you to feel guilty: The peer pressure to be anti-Russia, being told that you are a water carrier for Putin when you point out the objective reality of what is happening.

We have to be very clear, even to the point of being blunt. By ‘we’ I mean those of us involved who are conscious of being part of an Information War–the propaganda war that we are recipients of—on the receiving end of this tsunami of garbage propaganda.

We have to say things flat without fear and without compromise. This is a US war on Russia. We will also be at war with everybody and we will see the massive casualties of World War III

Period.

Now, why do we have to say this? Why should we say it so bluntly?

Because we have been lied to and manipulated into believing that we will win and that when the bombs are dropped we will survive.

Because history shows us that we will lose this war.

There is something troubling to be said about “exaggerated pride,” the kind of hubris that can get a person in a lot of trouble.

Take Napoleon Bonaparte, for instance. From his previous victories, he came to believe he was invincible, and so he marched his army on a campaign to conquer Russia.

Instead, he lost the battle and the entire empire that he had crumbled. The danger of hubris has also been cemented in mythology.

Remember that Icarus was roasted by the Sun in his flight to get closer to it.

Not everyone, however, believes that hubris even exists.

Especially when it comes to the Biden administration — they say that they make everything better — but never in the history of this country have we become so fragmented, triggered, victimized, woke, full of hubris to the point of virtue signaling and policing others’ lives.

What makes these people think that they are so special?  They are no different than the fascists they claim to be eliminating.

Of course, they have some pretty creative ways of eliminating people that don’t agree with them.

The restructuring of everything, making it violent and neoliberal has been brutal.

We are witnessing a controlled demolition of our constitutional republic and a shift towards authoritarian governance to deal with the growing resentment and dissent that governments fully expect from people who are being forced into poverty and scarcity.
