I’m just beginning to understand Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead band, as I delve really deep into American history. In 1971 he sang their hit song called Trucking, which refrained, “What a long strange trip it’s been!” And oh was he so right, as I’ve learned the real history of the American Dream. That’s why it was a hit song. Everyone identified with it. As I’ve worked on this project, and talked to every day Americans about the American Dream, for over 30 years, they all saw the same oppressive monarchical runaway government seeping in all around us year by year. This is what I believe Jerry was singing about then. The questions everyone always asked me was, “Adrian, how do we fix it? What can I do? ....I don’t have any money...” Now Jerry Garcia, a keen observer, as all songwriters are, what was his answer? Keep on ‘Trucking’. The name of the song. The message, all you can do is not worry about it, have a drink: and just keep rolling.

 

But we’re almost at a tipping point, all of America. And I don’t believe we can keep on trucking when in a short 5-20 years 1.7 Million to 3.0 Million Real long haul truckers in America will lose their jobs and their American dreams to automated driverless trucks. And the whole American population that works for a living, 300 Million of us will lose 20-30 Million more jobs to technology and the Internet. There’s only 100 Million households in America. Think long and hard: it affects every household. If we don’t respond now, it will pancake what’s left of the American Dream, all 300 Million. It only takes job losses of 2-5% to create a nationwide recession. This is 20-30% we are facing. That’s the BIG TIPPING POINT we are ALL approaching and none of the wealth class or their paid off politicians are telling you about because....wait for it: they are going to stick the American citizen with another $10 TRILLION Bailout bill to pay. 

 

That tipping point, if we don’t all respond now, will increase the number of Americans living below the poverty line from 100 Million today in 2018 to 200 MILLION. Two out of every three Americans will be living in poverty very soon if we don’t all violate our instincts to fight each other and come together right now to build the next American Dream engine: please see the RTDNOW PLAN.

 

This is why I’ve sent out a daily personal invitation to every single Citizen in the form of a free access song, to motivate you to save America by telling EVERY single American, RTDNOW.COM and to add their names and support the RTDNOW (REDEEM THE DREAM NOW) MOVEMENT. Now you know why the word NOW is at the end. We’re almost out of time.

 

But let’s get back to our strange trip of American history, and go back about 200 or so years in time and remember what the world was. In 1777 masses of people (99%) suffered in broader Europe under totalitarian rule. They looked upon the 1776 American ‘experiment’ in freeing themselves and began to plan their own freedom and called 1777 America, ‘Jefferson’s Democracy’. Soon as the masses, in their time, realized they were in charge by participating, (we’re just about to rediscover it again in the convenient Internet age) they staged the French Revolution and the rest and the world, slowly followed to some form of democratic government.

 

Today 2/3 of nations practice some form of democracy. But 200 years later, that’s all in jeopardy. If America collapses, so does the world. It’s primarily in jeopardy because today’s masses of people (the same 99%) don’t yet understand that democracy as a bedrock of governmental process, is ‘just the invitation’ to participate. And only you can do that! And if you don’t participate, you slowly lose all your rights, indirectly with new laws and regulations you didn’t and don’t approve of, and your freedoms, and your money is taken in ever expanding taxes direct and indirect like national debt, and your life all goes away bit by bit: because you no longer control ANY of it. A money monarchy parading as a democracy with no participation does that. That’s America since 1970 and today. My musical response to this Greek tragedy, the slow killing of 300 Million American dreams and our future, is the opposite of old Jerry. But he was a great musician!

 

Back to Thomas Jefferson’s 1776 writing of the Declaration of Independence. It was the original, first, personal Invitation, for every person in America to participate in ‘their’ democracy, for every person in the world, to actually accept the invitation and really live free.

 

Live free by actively controlling their own future by using their voice loudly in government. That’s all you have to do to live free and save the world again. Real citizen focused government is basically free.

 

He was, and I am, asking you to have real voice in determining your future, to exercise your undeniable and unalterable Personal and Civil rights, to pursue life, liberty and happiness, without the ropes of tyranny restraining our feet and checkbooks economically, from upward mobility and advancement. The cornerstone of the real American Dream is participating. Happiness meant advancement which came from education. And that means without chains of oppressive false thought (trickle down economics lies for five decades, for example. Or Reagan saying ‘government is bad’ to turn us all away from participation) endlessly cast upon the minds of the masses by corporate owned media. Today we are ALL slowly waking up, and now recognize this fake news that has been going on for decades. At 59 years old, it’s been going on about my whole life. 

 

So looking back, the great misconception of the Declaration of Independence is that it wasn’t just declaring our American independence and establishing the American Dream. It was so MUCH more. It was the personal invitation to all the people of the world, of every country, to follow the path to Personal freedom and liberty. An invitation for every citizen of the earth to embrace American ideals. The American Ideals of personal freedom: equality, local self rule, and economic freedom, which together bring full the American Dream to life.

 

The Declaration of Independence brought to life the best philosophical musings of Personal individual liberty from the Age of Enlightenment, (philosophers 150 years before him such as John Locke) off pages and into reality, into daily being for all! And for all time! And one document did it overnight. It was a transformational event of life on earth. And I want to do it again! I want us all to do it again to Reinvent the original American Dream and its ideals in our time. All 300 Million people have to do to make that happen Overnight like in 1776 is Tell everyone: Add your name at RTDNOW.COM

 

Opps! We all thought America and its people were to be free based upon one Declaration without ongoing active citizen participation. And just as America began its ascent to the pinnacle of the throne of great empires of all time, the wheels quickly came off the proverbial real American Dream wagon. They were ‘ripped-off’ like putting a car on blocks and stealing the tires and rims. Soon after our 1776 independence Declaration rattled, shook and transformed the world like a philosophical volcano of new growing lands, slowly and uncontrollably, spreading everywhere: a curious thing happened. Old world (master-slave) values quietly and quickly rolled right back in steamrolling and gutting the meaning of the Declaration of Independence and the underpinnings of our new Personal freedom. What I call the real American dream. In a 1788 age of little media, and a new county with little participation, amazingly without almost anyone, but the few involved in government like George Mason and Patrick Henry, even realizing it was happening!

 

Led by only four people, they did it very quietly and quickly under armed guard in secrecy (our First secret organization) changing how government would operate: over the people holding them down in poverty, not for them, lifting them up out of it. This new secret government would operate by the wealth class for the wealth class through money in politics, far away from the people, to rule over them. That document 10 years after the most famous document in the world, our Declaration of Independence, that second document just four people pushed through dismantled the real American dream of a government of, by and for the people. That 2nd document was called, The Constitution, of 1789. They sent out no invitations to the people. They approved it and  published a new owners manual of how to use it called: The Federalist Papers.

 

Read the original Declaration of Independence’s middle section. The grievances, they are long, profound, global, and timeless. It described the molten lava that burned hot in the hearts of the oppressed people across America and the world to create our new promised land of real citizen freedom. Their grievances are EXACTLY what 300 Million Americans are feeling today. Which is why I updated our 1st Declaration of Independence into a new 2nd one, a little more specific to a 2018 world: our 2nd Declaration of Independence from modern runaway government is called Redeem The Dream Now. Read it under Movement, then Add Your Name.

 

Because of the dismantling the real American Dream in 1789, the same four people also dreamed up the 1st wealth class political party called Federalism, which for obvious reasons fell out of favor, and went where? Underground to reappear as both parties run by corporate money. But generations of Americans were all left with their baggage of overly centralized monarchical government weighing down and burying a people’s government forever! That is until we all update it. That’s what the RTDNOW PLAN does and why I’m inviting everyone to participate. But the wealth class are shape shifters and update their constitution every generation or so to modern times with such corporate charters/manifesto as the very detailed Lewis Powell Memo of 1971. Now we start to see the 200 year civilizational cycle, of freedom and tyranny battling it out, what we all now find ourselves in the middle of, who the key players were, and what they did to dismantle your real American Dream, and American Dreams around the world, a bit more clearly.

 

 Let’s time travel way back to 1606, Jamestown was established in Virginia. 170 years later our Declaration of Independence was signed. This was almost 200 years since the Age of Enlightenment philosophers wrote about individual natural rights by birth, and a new age that would actually exhibit that, and transform the world, from historical 99% slavery and serfdom, to 99% freedom. That’s about how long False generational ideas take to get ingrained. The falsehoods the masses ingest and are deluded by out in the open, and can delay and derail real transformational social change. And so here we all find ourselves at a tipping point in the history American Dream. Of Americas ability to survive 20 years. See the old USSR for an example. We 300 Million ordinary every day citizens are all on stage again. 2018 is our 1774. Our people’s government was swallowed whole, like Jonah and the whale, by corporate and global money in politics. Now what? What to do? What to do. Just ‘Trucking’ along won’t be an option much longer.

 

In these RTDNOW Song Bonus Materials and Time Traveler Moments we examine turning points in the American Dream. Here we noted a multi-generational one that isn’t obvious, until you read a few hundred history books! Yep, that’s about my total at the moment for this project.

 

So 200 years after 1789, by about 1989, American politics had been fully corrupted again by corporate and billionaires money in politics, like a King’s, which they paid to have ‘legalized’ in 2010, had fully swung the 200 year pendulum back from Citizen Freedom, to Corporate Tyranny of the masses again.

 

In about 1960 our Government began to REALLY run away from its citizens. And we the people rebelled in the streets all across America. But since then, over decades of tidal waves of money pouring into our politics from global corporations, the pace of running away from its citizens, accelerated a few trillion times! It did because government no longer, wait for it, ‘legally’ represented them, us 300 Million who make this country run everyday. Federal Government, since the 2010 Supreme Court ruling making Corporations ‘Artificial Citizens’ made it so Government now reported to Corporations, (this was also the time of the $700 BILLION Walls St. Bailout defeated by the people, was passed against out will) because of their tidal waves of money in politics out weigh citizens real person votes.

 

Since President Nixon in the 70’s, Lewis Powell was his personal attorney, things went from bad to worse for the American citizen. Then his protégée, Ronald Reagan, who inherited $1 Trillion in national debt, went off to the races increasing it a mind boggling, at the time, 100% in his imperial Presidency (forgets the citizen) and almost every President thereafter has faithfully served their corporate masters: Wall St., Corporate America, and the Defense Complex of ‘Industries’. Since Reagan, both failed political parties increased national debt 2,600% to $26 TRILLION today in 2018. They did it with the insult of willful incompetence of not creating any new net income to offset all this spending/corporate giveaways. Like a Wall St. Tax for example. You see who wears the pants in this dysfunctional family we call Government. See all that political party debt/give aways for what it really is: AN ECONOMIC NUCLEAR BOMB that is about to explode over 5-20 years on 300 Million ordinary hard working citizens. More like a Neutron bomb: the buildings will be left, but the American dreams, and 20-30 Million more jobs will all be dead. America started WITHOUT political parties for a good reason. They are wealth class driven. The real American Dream was supposed to a country of all its people.

 

Today in 2018 both political parties no longer answer to, or represent, 300 Million ordinary non wealth class citizens. It is 1774 all over again. And I’m offering all 300 Million American citizens equally affected by this, who’ve all been left behind, a personal invitation to represent themselves: by adding their names at RTDNOW.COM. to our 2nd Declaration of Independence from today’s runaway government.

 

Today’s 2018 runaway government as explained above is far worse than the economic oppression of 1775! Today up to and over 50 cents of every dollar you earn goes to taxes. There were NO, personal income taxes in America for 130 years! NONE. When you tax everyone to death and STILL have $26 TRILLION in debt you know for certain you are living in and UNDER an oppressive wealth class regime that just elects itself in a closed two party system. 

 

RTDNOW, this whole rock opera and website are your Daily personal invitation to understand the real original American Dream and create an overnight online movement to restore it for EVERYONE.

 

All these turning points show the civilizational battle (new world distributed free citizen rule vs. old world wealth class centralized rule) has been fought over centuries. That’s the real story of the American Dream. These turning points show exactly how the wealth class willfully dismantled and continue to dismantle the real America dream of equality again and again. Undoing decades of gains of great movements of the people: the labor movement and the civil rights movement, for example. So they can more easily control everyone, economically, and with ‘tough on crime’ BS as ‘they define crimes on the spot’, and militarized police forces. As if that wasn’t terrible enough, the return of the master-slave relationship of subsistence wages, that have gone downward for 30 years by the way, are just modern plantations without fences. The whole economy gets dismantled as they take it off shore and runs bubble to bubble (we’re riding one now) by out of control debt funding fueled, by an uncontrolled runaway government. It is not only headed for total collapse at $40 TRILLION in debt, in 10-20 years, it’s headed for implosion.

 

It’s unfortunately far worse. 20-30 Million MORE jobs are about to be lost to technology. Please see the Album 3 Preview Song and hear the chilling Podcast: Ghost Towns. Because that’s what we will have, mostly gutted economic ghost Towns all across America, coast to coast, as the Internet wired world matures and sucks all good wages left overseas online in the next 10 years. And that’s 5 Times faster than losing all big factories over 50 years. The economic pain all Americans will feel will be intense and prolonged. That’s what the militarized police is for. Sorry for the tough love, but somebody had to tell you. That’s what we are ALL facing together, if we all don’t act together now. So Please accept my personal invitation to fix America, BEFORE it really collapses again, on us all. Please accept my personal invitation be a real American again: and participate. So we can all chart our brightest future, individually and collectively, as we did in 1776. 

 

The Redeem The Dream Now petition I’m inviting every single American to sign, also endorses the RTDNOW PLAN (read it under movement, it’s short and simple),which doubles the net income of 90% of all Americans OVERNIGHT as passed by 100 Million to 300 Million citizens. It also ends our crushing titanic runaway government oppressing us all, and builds the new American Dream engine over 10 years, so we ALL prosper for the next 250 years. Until the next Adrian has to dust this off to remind everyone four generations forward that money in politics ALWAYS bankrupts us all! Every single time, it’s timeless. Money empires do what? Take all the money. Pretty basic and we’re all living it in 2018.

 

So little old everyday citizen Adrian, born in New York City, went to P.S. (public school) 151 in Queens, who went to junior college in L.A., before attending university, and has spent a 40 year career helping Americans live their American dreams by developing their business plans and funding them. This is just me Adrian, (Music was my hobby) I’m inviting you to renew America and transform it OVERNIGHT into a citizen First country, as it was intended in 1776.
