And there’s nothing anyone can do about it, because they already. Control. EVERYTHING.

 

Vote? Don’t bother -- the elections are scripted about as badly as pro-wrestling. And when you hear news about vote fraud or stolen elections, it’s all a smoke-screen, too.

 

It’s all over except for the screaming.

 

March? Don’t kid yourself -- the people who run the people who “run” things don’t care about your opinion. And protests didn’t get us out of Vietnam, they just provided a good excuse to pack in a losing battle and retool for much more profitable conflicts in the future.

 

It’s all over except for the screaming.

 

Speak out? Who are you kidding? The media is co-opted. The splinter and protest parties are shills. Anyone who runs a major op-ed outfit has been co-opted and only wants shills.

 

Again, it’s all over except for the screaming.

 

But still, in spite of knowing we’re all gonna die this Summer, just like we were all gonna die last Summer and the one before that, and maybe the Summer after this one, too, the Calvacade Of The Omniscient -- staunch believers in Duopoly -- can be seen fighting the good fight. They’re warning us all of the oncoming storm. They’re agitating for revolution.
