Making of Adrian's Song "Protest and Vote"

SMOKING HOT SAXOPHONE

 

I had no idea who Tim Jensen was. I told my producer what type of sax I was looking for on this song and he just said, “Tim Jensen”. Oh my, please read his bio under Promised Land Band. He’s over the top talented and accomplished and does phenomenal work. Thank you Tim Jensen! 

ROCKING IT UP  

 

Tim Ellis my producer was the master music arranger. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t rock it up on a single guitar. But Tim Ellis took this song to a classic level. I told him I wanted people to sing and dance to it. I hope you all do and play it everywhere loudly as you start your protest rally!

about

Fast-forward 96 years to November of 1967. The Beatle’s released their famous song “I am the Walrus” on their Magical Mystery Tour album. John Lennon said he mistakenly wrote the song before he realized, “Crap, I meant to be the carpenter!” But the song was so good he left it as is. In an inadvertent way he told the sad tale that most of humble origins that become really wealthy mostly turn into Walrus’s. That said, Lennon did mount a short-lived global effort to end war posting ‘Give Peace A Chance’ banners across the globe. He protested rampant global (mostly US) militarism: as in ending the senseless Vietnam War. The Beatles themselves did make stands on issues like ending segregation in America and saying to the wealth class mockingly in their famous song, All You Need is Love. 

So it seems all these major agonized efforts and movements take forever. The [Leave empty for now] Woman’s Rights Movement took about 60 years to get partial results getting women recognized as whole citizens in 1920. The Labor Movement took over 100 years (1850-1950) before it was dismantled from 1970-2020 over 50 years. The Civil Rights Movement took 14 years to get Civil Rights Legislation but then was forcibly dismantled by the FBI and national police forces. So it seems that we take on all the issues of the American dream, but one by one and it takes forever. The RTDNOW Movement takes on all our major issues with new solutions bundled in one RTDNOW PLAN. But its time to take on the real one issue that killed the American dream: money in politics. Which keeps the Walrus rich forever and the Carpenters (300 million of us) poor and hungry. 

 

PROTESTING IN AMERICA IS ABOUT TO GET REALLY LOUD AND PROUD ALL ACROSS AMERICA AGAIN AND I’M GOING TO EXPLAIN WHY. 

It seems nobody noticed or protested much as our American Walrus, the elite wealth class, Corporate America, dismantled our non-profit affordable healthcare system, ‘deregulating’ it in 1971. Medical bankruptcy is one of the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in America. 2/3 of all Americans are dying 10 years earlier because they avoid the high cost of healthcare even if they have it! 

 

It seems nobody noticed the Walrus dismantled labor unions and worker rights by moving their factories offshore over 40 years. It seems nobody noticed that they use the U.S. Military to protect and support that offshore movement of all our jobs, and makes the citizen pay for it in a global military budget that is HALF the whole budget it seem and HALF of that is black: we don’t know what its spent on. You can’t have ‘Globalism’ and all our factories offshore without control of the high seas. That’s what our global Navy makes possible. It seems nobody notices all of this rampant military budget is not being spent on advancing citizen needs: it makes the citizens situation worse handing them just the bill of increasing national debt with no way to repay it. 

 

It seems nobody noticed that to hide the elite wealth class not paying taxes for all that they voted in $26 Trillion of citizen national debt. It seems nobody noticed that Wall Street became an arm of the Federal Government and commits outright fraud causing a global financial meltdown and nobody went to jail for that while millions of Americans lost their homes because of their scams as they make millions. 

 

It seems nobody noticed that so many American Citizens are un and under employed that 44 million are on food stamps in America. That represents TWICE as many people as in the Great Depression of 1932! It seems nobody noticed that 100 MILLION American Citizens now in 2018 live BELOW the Poverty Line! Very soon 300 million ordinary Americans are going to wake up and realize their American dream has been stolen and they are going to be very pissed off all at the same time. 

 

I’VE JUST EXPLAINED WHY 100 MILLION TO 300 MILLION PEOPLE WILL ALL START PROTESTING SOON ENOUGH. 

 

BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT THE TIDAL WAVE COMING THAT WILL HIT US ALL AND CRUSH US IF WE ALL DON’T PARTICIPATE NOW IN AN ORGANIZED RTDNOW PLAN. 

 

It’s almost curious that nobody’s talking about how advanced technologies will start showing up everywhere soon and how as they come together they will flatten the American economy: with 300 million ordinary citizens squished underneath. Politicians don’t talk about it because they don’t want you to panic and demand anything because they are the in Walrus’s pockets that pays for their re-election. These advanced technologies that are already here will accelerate and cause 

many good technical jobs to start going away faster via the internet offshore: or your wages will go down to keep the business here. 

 

Driverless long haul trucks could put 2 million truckers and their families out of business soon. People-less checkout stands will become more commonplace reducing retail workforces by 20%. And in 10 years as half of all people buy over half their stuff online, oops, HALF of all retail stores will close over 20 years. All Americans, at some point, will wake up because their wages will have gone down again compared to inflation, and another 20-40 million jobs will have quietly been taken away by Walrus’s using tax breaks they voted themselves, to buy advanced technologies to kill what’s left of your American dream. 

 

And then, at least 150 million American citizens are going to be VERY pissed off that our paid off government officials let the second theft of the dying American dream, survival on minimum wage jobs, happen while they told us all every year ‘the state of the union is strong!” Please hear my Podcast ‘Ghost Towns’. Because if we as 300 million ordinary citizens do nothing over the next 10 years, America will go from 30% of all cities being economic ghost towns now in 2018, to 80%! That’s financial Armageddon and the end of life, as we know it, in America. It affects us all equally. 

 

“ADRIAN, WILL IT REALLY BE THAT BAD? FOR EVERYONE IN AMERICA?” 

 

Yes. You see, America, after the factories were taken away over the last 50 years is now about 70% retail. We mostly shop. But that’s going online. If half the stores close, we lose half the retail jobs, about 20 million or more. If half the retail stores close, the banks fail again because the loans on the retail stores go bad. If the banks fail again, we go over the tipping point of $40 Trillion in debt: nobody will continue to lend to an America who borrows $6 Billion a day to pay our deficit now because we can’t repay it and it will be obvious then. And then the value of the dollar really collapses, inflation rages, everything you own is worth 50 cents on the dollar because most of your money is in stocks and home equity and both of those markets will have crashed. 

 

I am not exaggerating one bit. I exactly predicted the last collapse of 2008-2011 to a few people who listened. And you know what people asked me after? Aside from how I predicted it so accurately. They asked if I was going to make money on predicting the next one? OMG, it seems accepting failure and corruption has become commonplace and everyone is waiting for the big collapse. Here’s the deal, I’m not wired that way. I’m a carpenter. I’m an ordinary guy who makes things and doesn’t destroy them. But the brainwashing that has gone on for 50 years is that we all can be Walrus’s and leave behind our fellow citizens. That’s not so. If we fail economically as a nation, we all fail together. And if that happens, America becomes failed East Germany from 1945-1995 in a police state to stop the rioting. That’s what’s at stake. 

 

This is why I am protesting with everything I have by writing this 100 song mega rock opera to save America from total collapse I see coming if we don’t all act together in a citizen first plan called RTDNOW very soon. You see, I don’t want people saying to me again, “Wow, you were spot on, how’d you predict that?” I think you have an idea of how I predict such things from the above: I do some homework. 

I don’t want to see millions more Americans slip into poverty. If we don’t act, if we don’t all protest and vote together for a citizen first RTDNOW Plan, as America collapses the number of people in poverty in America will skyrocket from 100 million to 200 million. That’s 2/3 of all American citizens. I want us all to see the forest from the trees BEFORE we let that happen and protest 300 million as 1 to end runaway government and enact the RTDNOW plan to restore everyone’s full American dream overnight. 

 

I’M ASKING EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN A FEW BASIC QUESTIONS:

 

  1. Do you want to your full American dream back right now? 

  2. Do you want to restore everyone’s American dream at the same time? 

  3. Do you want to save America from total economic collapse? 

  4. Do you want an America where everyone can be a millionaire in their lifetime?

 

I know the answer to all is YES. Welcome to the RTDNOW Movement.

WHILE THE RTDNOW TIME TRAVELER MOMENT AT THE END OF THIS BONUS MATERIAL WALKS US THROUGH ALL THE DECADES OF AMERICAN CITIZEN PROTESTS SO YOU CAN EVALUATE TRADITIONAL PROTESTS FOR YOURSELF, RIGHT NOW, LET’S LOOK AT TRADITIONAL “IT TAKES DECADES AND CENTURIES PROTESTING” WE DON’T WANT TO DO ANYMORE, IN A MORE INTERESTING WAY. 

 

WHAT DO ALL AMERICANS, LEWIS CARROLL, AND THE BEATLES, HAVE IN COMMON? PROTESTING OVER DECADES AND CENTURIES. 

 

In 1865 in England as our ‘hot’ Civil War was ending, Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland. A tale about the emotional development of a young girl learning the strange boundaries of society and life. But when you read his later poem it seems it’s about the craziness of life under runaway government. We’re all in a bizarre world of false realities foisted on us trying to understand what’s real and end up following the white rabbit of fake wealth class prosperity into dark rabbit holes. Later in 1871 Carroll wrote a poem called The Walrus and The Carpenter, which was more obvious about what he was thinking. The Walrus was the fat greedy money class capitalist making all the citizens, the workers, the Carpenters, poorer and hungry.

  • Why does protesting have to take forever? (HINT: it doesn’t now, tell everyone RTDNOW.COM daily and keep this viral)

  • Why is traditional marching protesting largely ineffective? (HINT: clear solutions and a system to maintain activism to protect gains are never spelled out)

  • Is RTDNOW a Protest? (HINT: the largest organized peaceful protest ever seen)

  • What are we protesting? (HINT: runaway government and the theft of 300 million American dreams)

  • What are we voting for? (HINT: as you add your name at RTDNOW.COM you endorse the RTDNOW Citizen First PLAN that restores everyone’s complete American dream overnight)

  • Is that it?  (HINT: see Adrian 2020 at the website. If you believe both political parties failed us terribly over 50 years, and are totally overrun with global money, write in Adrian for President 2020 for a non-political citizen’s candidate with a plan (the RTDNOW PLAN) to involve 300 million citizens to restore everyone’s American dream overnight and save America from total collapse.)

Words and Music by ADRIAN

Let me tell you, the sixties

Are still a mystery to today’s youth

Sex drugs and rock’n’roll

All sold on their iPhones today

They wonder about those protests

And what they were all fighting for

It’s a bygone era where citizens

Think to protect the constitution

 

That’s why we need to protest and vote

It’s how we keep freedom afloat

We need to protest and vote

Liberties are being slowly stripped away

We need to protest and vote

Its’ the true American way hey, hey, hey!

 

Now you can be detained indefinitely

Just like Russia and Nazi Germany

We are letting our laws be changed

So America’s become a power game

Without a lot of money you are zip

Without rich backers you ain’t hip

Without Wall St. elite you are meat

None of that was in the constitution

 

It’s time to redeem the dream

Use free speech and equal rights

Keep the promise of a

True representative democracy

Square in our sights

If we don’t demand it

It’ll keep slipping away

That’s why we need everyone

To stand tall for liberty today

Go to our website RTDNOW.COM

Sign the petition for Campaign Finance Reform

 

You see it was all a grand experiment

That hadn’t worked in 2000 years

Not since Romans lent Caesar their ears

Democracy hadn’t flourished here

Now the great success we call the U S

Has become an aristocracy of corporations

Funding and guiding politicians

Creating the present situation

 

Go to my website RTDNOW.COM

Sign the RTDNOW Petition

Don’t forget, Vote!
