Anyone who has bothered to roll out of bed in the past 40+ years shouldn't be shocked. Nonetheless, "shouldn't" has proven to be elusive within our contemporary American ethos.

I believe most of us have a good sense of the currents swirling about, but Thom's documentation and citing are unrivaled in bringing those insights into verifiable fact. "Project 2025" reminds us that EVERY day is exactly the right time to be an active participant in life and to not hold the illusion that our presence is mere spectatorship.

Project 2025, if successful, will guarantee - for We, the Serfs - the following lyrics immutable...

Behold a new Christ

Behold the same old horde

Gather at the altering

New beginning, new word

And the word was death

And the word was without light

The new beatitude:

“Good luck, you’re on your own”

Blessed are the fornicates

May we bend down to be their whores

Blessed are the rich

May we labor, deliver them more

Blessed are the envious

Bless the slothful, the wrathful, the vain

Blessed are the gluttonous

May they feast us to famine and war

What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?

What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?

All doomed

All doomed

Behold a new Christ

Behold the same old horde

Gather at the altering

New beginning, new word

And the word was death

And the word was without light

The new beatitude: “Good luck”

What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?

What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?

What of the righteous? What of the charitable?

What of the truthful, the dutiful, the decent?

Doomed are the poor

Doomed are the peaceful

Doomed are the meek

Doomed are the merciful

For the word is now death

And the word is now without light

The new beatitude:

“Fuck the doomed, you’re on your own”

-A Perfect Circle. 2018. [The Doomed]. On "Eat The Elephant". BMG

A sort of "love/hate" like. I had to Google "A Perfect Circle." 2018. Jeese, what a Zeitgeist even before Covid. I won't even try to listen to it. Falling back on Floyd "Comfortably Numb."
