A 100 Song Rock Opera to Make a Better American Dream

THE GOOD: WE GOT THE AMERICAN DREAM RIGHT IN 1776

​

THE BAD: THEN IT WAS TAKEN

​

THE UGLY: WE’VE SPENT 240 YEARS TRYING TO GET IT BACK

 

America was born with a full and complete American Dream DNA of social, political, and economic equality which was known as a “Democratic-Republic.” And ever since the Democratic part got taken out and replaced with a false American dream governing system originally called Federalism in 1787, or today its evolved to Corporatism. A ruling global elite wealth class controls how much American dream all we 300 million ordinary hard working citizens get. And we the people have been fighting this unseen global elite wealth class to get all the parts of our American dream back.

 

Let’s recap a few bold examples in American history, of how the American people used the Will of the People, all screaming at once in unison about an issue, to get back an equality part of American dream we were all promised:

 

1.The Women’s Rights Movement: 1890-1910, successful and is still evolving.

2.The Workers Rights Movement: 1850-1950, successful and then mostly dismantled.

3.The Civil Rights Movement: 1960-1975, successful but ended unfinished and eroded.

 

 

TWO THINGS STAND OUT: IT WAS SO HARD, AND WE FALL APART RIGHT AFTER

THE RTDNOW SOLUTION TO MAKING IT EASY, FAST, AND HOPEFULLY, FUN.

 

How long and hard it was for each movement to succeed, and as it ended, or was ended by silent government intervention, the wealth class elite put in motion their new plan to dismantle citizen equality gains, when all the people went home. Many of the gains were eroded or lost BECAUSE we had no citizen system in place to invoke the Will of the People to control government that got corrupted by money in politics, THAT BECAME ROUTINE, diverting our national wealth to the agenda of the elite global wealth class.

 

For 250 years, we haven’t learned how (and there wasn’t an easy way until RTDNOW) as a people to stay actively engaged in our government demanding our citizen rights and complete American dream of Social, Political and Economic Equality. There has NEVER been a system to effortlessly involve every citizen so the Will of the People can be formed through real fact based discourse and discussion. And that process has never been commonplace AS IT SHOULD BE IN A FUNCTIONING DEMOCRACY. That is until now. Until RTDNOW. Until we make it so.

 

With Album 1, Today’s the Day (We All Become Superman) the Redeem The Dream Now Movement was launched in 2018: 250 years after our start. That’s why this is a big deal and you should get involved. It’s a once in a 5-generation event. Please read the simple RTDNOW Plan to restore everyone’s full American dream and Save America (and keep it that way) at RTDNOW.COM under movement. I wrote it to include every single American equally. And that is how we all become Superhuman with the power to change our world OVERNIGHT into the country of our dreams, by acting together at RTDNOW.COM signing a petition called RTDNOW.

 

 

IN 2020 THE WORLD WILL CHANGE BECAUSE CAPITALISM AND COMMUNISM ARE DEAD. OUR WORLD ORDER FOR THE LAST 100 YEARS BREAKS DOWN.

 

AND IF WE DON’T USE OUR WILL OF THE PEOPLE, IN THIS MOMENT, AT RTDNOW.COM, TO EXPAND THE AMERICAN DREAM, IT WILL COMPLETELY WITHER AND DIE AND WE’LL HAVE NONE. AND AMERICA AS WE ALL KNEW IT, OUR AMERICAN DREAM CIVILIZATION, WILL BE DEAD. AMERICA WILL BECOME A FULL BLOWN MONEY CLASS FACIST TOTALITARIAN STATE.

 

GLOBAL breakdown of social order, or a transformation of civilization happens about every 100 years usually spurred by a technological revolution that changes the balance of power. In 1900 it was telegraph and railways and the industrial revolution that followed. In 1945 it was nuclear weapons and space age military technology which percolated down to the public over 50 years: the fax machine, the personal computer, networking.

 

Today it is the digital and internet revolutions bringing cheap computing and inexpensive global connectivity power into the hands of every individual ON THE PLANET! This is creating a titanic shift in world economic order as the populations that slept through the last 50 years of REAL HIGHER EDUCATION in skills that matter (sciences) are rapidly being left behind, and geography and industrial might no longer matter if you can control the digital age from a laptop anywhere in the world.

 

The tragedy here is that this death spiral of jobs and wages in America (stagnant for 30 years) is just quietly accelerating. About 2030 it will accelerate like a Hockey Puck as global digitization and robotics combined replace HALF of all jobs. We will lose HALF  of all jobs: See my song Ghost Towns in Album 2. The double tragedy is our failed political leaders have done NOTHING to replace our last national economic American dream engine, like I am proposing in the RTDNOW PLAN to restore everyone’s American dream overnight and save America by building our next American dream economic engine, and to implement an America 2050 Manufacturing Plan. Please read my plan for every citizen at RTDNOW.COM/Movement/ Plan. Your future, all our futures, depend on it.

 

 

NEW R.E.M. “RAPID EVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT” IS HERE

 

All this rapid societal movement, in the 1900’s physically of people and goods, in 2000 a short 100 years later, online, instant movement of information (to the whole planet!) and anywhere immediate access, is causing a massive shift of power and attitudes about human civilization. You see soon there will be NO secrets. We will all come out of a dream state of false facts and see the rapid evolutionary movement taking place all around us that we have only felt until now.

 

America is now rapidly re-Evolving, massive wealth transfer and concentration is occurring rapidly with mind boggling social displacement. Government in its present state of paralysis and confusion and corruption can’t keep up with it causing needless human suffering all across America. Globally we now see refugee countries that seem permanent: that’s the start of failed global State social displacement with NO economic (American dream) engine running. Nationally, look under EVERY freeway in America near a larger city. You see bars, or concrete spikes, to keep a mobile homeless population of 20-30 million in America…moving.

 

We now see the total evaporation of well-paying, long-term, manufacturing jobs in America. Like slave labor, we are all ‘At-Will’ with NO rights as employees. The generation called the Millinneals, 75 million strong born between 1977-1994, are now 23-40 years old. They know this all too well and don’t expect to stay at any job long. They’ve adopted a vagabond work ethic expecting to all be thrown away as their job is done. They’ve accepted the false corporate system they’ve grown up in. But they can reject it now.

 

Why reject it? As this native (born with it) Internet generation matures over the next 10-20 years half the retail stores in America will close hurling ALL AMERICANS into the greatest depression we have ever seen as half the retail jobs go away. First Corporate America responding to labor union gains by taking the factories and those jobs away bit by bit overseas without telling us. Next it’s they’re taking ½ of the actual amount of retail stores and those retail jobs, quietly without telling you. Opps! About 124 million people are employed in the US. 70% of that is retail related, that’s 86 million retail direct and related jobs. Let’s say only 25% lose their jobs as their stores close. That’s 22 MILLION jobs about to be lost without a plan in place to actively start now to replace them. 5% job loss can start a recession. 22 million is four times larger!

 

But that was the good news. It could be much BIGGER job losses over time than 22 million which is 18% of all jobs lost, 1 in five working people in America, every household will be affected at the low end of my prediction. But think about ocean tankers that used to have crews of 60 people that now steam across the world with a crew of only 8: that’s an 85% REDUCTION IN WORKFORCE. Now apply that concept already in place in Corporate America with all employees and wages they pay. You guessed it, they will work as hard as they can to eliminate 80% of all employees which creates super salaries and bonuses for those few who remain and titanic profits for the owners. And the ordinary hard working American citizen not participating in government will be left behind yet again. 

 

THIS BUDDING TREND IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR EVERYONE AND OUR WHOLE ECONOMY AND AMERICA’S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A NATION. See WW 1 Germany, WW 2 Germany, Argentina, Greece, USSR, etc., for examples of what happens to countries at economic burn out. So when you connect all the dots, if you want an America, an American dream alive for every American, YOU HAVE TO DEMAND AND BUILD A NEW AMERICAN DREAM ENGINE RIGHT NOW ALL ACROSS AMERICA. That’s what the RTDNOW PLAN does, its why I wrote it, please read it now it’s a simple plan, then add your name at RTDNOW.COM. And daily as you hear the free-access inspirational song, tell everyone RTDNOW.COM

 

 

HOW WAS OUR GOVERNMENT POLICY MISDIRECTED? FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS?

GIVING US ALL OUT OF CONTROL RUNAWAY GOVERNMENT

 

It was misdirected by the mega global corporation to themselves by massive amounts of DARK unseen money in politics for five decades. That transferred wealth away from the American citizen to the faceless global elite Corporate wealth class I call, the Corporama. The government under their influence wasted $50 TRILLION of our dollars in corporate give-a-ways and national debt and decided not to use any of all that money to build the next American dream engine for, and to reinvest in, the next generation...of American citizens. That’s called Runaway Government that we will end as 100 million to 300 million ordinary citizens add their names at RTDNOW.COM to participate in directing the future of America. This is necessary because of global money throughout out political system.

 

So at the most pivotal time in our history since 1939, as the whole world is shifting under each of us digitally, our jobs, what fuels ALL our American dreams, that are being minimized, off-shored, or replaced in a blink DIGITALLY, Online, our government is TOTALLY ABSENT. They have ZERO for a plan to restart every American dream in America.

 

 

LET’S TAKE WAGE TRENDS: HOW ALL THIS AFFECTS HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE

 

Consider what it will take to keep what’s left of major manufacturers here. The pressure on YOUR wages (and benefits) will be DOWNWARD because some energetic young soul in China, Pakistan, or India, a country who had the foresight to give them really good educations (I had two brilliant Pakistani finance professors at California State University, Chico, in 1980, for example) is sucking up your factory or knowledge job online in seconds for 10% of the cost here. And they no longer have to come to America and spend money here. This is no joke, and how we have brain dead politicians in both parties, and it is no accident. They’ve all left the American citizen behind. It’s happening right now all across America. See my song Ghost Towns in Album 2. The song and it’s Podcast talk about how the 3 mega trends of the Internet, Robotics, and New Globalization are converging to take away 30 million jobs in America over 20 years and put more downward pressure on all wages. 30 million jobs lost, that’s 25% of all jobs in America. That’s equal to the GREAT DEPRESSION of 1932. Silence. Gasp!

 

So if we don’t use the will of the people right now adding our names 300 million as 1 to implement the RTDNOW PLAN, which builds our next American dream engine in every citizen, in every home, on every block, all across America, OVERNIGHT, we are headed for total American economic implosion in 1-2 decades. Read the RTDNOW Plan now, its at RTDNOW.COM under movement.

 

 

THE OTHER ODD THING: THE WORLD IS ADRIFT WITHOUT A CIVILIZATION PHILOSOPHY

 

All Old or Present ORDERS, run on a philosophy. RTDNOW, REDEEM THE DREAM NOW, for example, is a citizen’s equality philosophy (the original complete American Dream with details to make it work for everyone) that balances complete equality for all citizens with free enterprise, along with new policies that remove corruption, to let both thrive and coexist. And by doing so it puts the American dream back on its carefully balanced axis of citizen and corporate productivity, so it can spin fast and smoothly, for all.

 

But today’s global social change afoot is NOT driven by a competing world view/social order philosophy like Democracy, Socialism, Communism or Capitalism. It’s just driven by a quiet corporate fascism that is now showing its face in the light of day, and subtle government totalitarianism, imposing the will and policies of the few elite global wealth class, quietly through massive tidal waves of money in our politics, over all us 300 million ordinary hard working citizens.

 

They did this by slowly changing our laws, quietly until all citizens are silenced, making it a crime to speak out: really read the Patriot Act. My podcast engineer likes example. The Patriot act made it so you can’t speak out about the Beef and Livestock industry and how it is destabilizing the planet and only doing so subsidized by government give-aways. This was tied together with a give away to the American armaments industry as we attacked Afghanistan in response to 911. And next was Iraq who had no weapons of mass destruction as was falsely claimed as the pretense to war by our leaders.

 

In the last breakdown of the older Order, in about 1910, monarchies of old were giving way to a global democracy movement following America. But there was a glitch. As we will talk about in the song Let's Save America on Album 1, Side B, there were two different interpretations of what Plato meant by perfect State in his book starting western civilization called the Republic. That glitch that difference that divided the world for the last 100 years was a difference of opinion about what Plato meant because among other things Plato said people shouldn’t own property.

 

And today as the wealth class gradually takes all our property away, as they mercilessly raise prices, making more of us renters (car loans, home loans, internet access, legal rights if you can’t pay, are all a form of monthly rent) through absurd social and economic policy that disenfranchise us all. A fraudulent tax code and economic policies take away citizen wealth individually and collectively from all of us. That’s why I’m sitting here wondering if the global wealth class elite re-read, and reinterpreted, Plato ‘Perfect State’ in a new two class system: Economic Masters and Slaves. Because that’s what we have today in America as a quiet dominant civilization we all live under. And what we are changing by all adding our names at RTDNOW.COM.

 

BOTH COMMUNISM AND CAPITALISM, DEAD

OUR CURRENT 2020 SOCIAL ORDER FAILED

 

MISSING A CIVILIZATION PHILOSOPHY

HOPE IS ABSENT EVERYWHERE

 

One failed 19th Century philosophy called Communism, said the people owned everything (the country) but nothing much personally. Communism sounds a lot like what Plato was saying, but not quite because he left out the Entrepreneurial class that builds and invents things. And when a society can’t build and invent (Pursue their own happiness) because they can’t own and prosper, the society and communism, as an ism, fails.

 

The other OLD failed civilization philosophy was called Capitalism, and its about to die, globally. The irony is like old Karl Marx predicted, without real regulation and balance, he called it ‘Capitalism Unfettered’, it feeds upon itself until it kills itself. That’s about where the Western World is today. That is the inherent flaw in capitalism “Without Balance” it too fails and collapses on us all.

 

Example: most of the countries in the world today are broke (America borrows $6 Billion a day to survive) all trapped in a too big too fail bailout (by the citizens!) syndrome of government/corporate corruption. In pure form, Capitalism said that any person could own property, or the whole country (we call them billionaires) at the expense of the rest of the People, if they were smart enough to do it. That’s what happened with Billionaires Carnegie, Rockefeller and Morgan in 1900 and led to our 1st Great Depression 30 years later. With no real corporate law or regulation enforcement because they were paid off: Billionaires used illegal means to become multi billionaires.

 

We the 300 million ordinary hard working American people whose American dream has been ripped off by the wealth class for the last 50 years need to arrive at a new pragmatic formula (1+1=2 like RTDNOW) that equally balances the needs and aspirations of every citizen to live their full American dream (social, political and economic equality) and for our most prolific wealth builders to also have an environment where they can succeed...equally and fairly with low taxation, to employ more Americans, but not at the expense of ALL the average ordinary hard working citizens, as it is today.

 

 

THE GLOBAL CAPITALIST ‘IMBALANCE’ MEANS THERE IS NO NATIONAL LOYALTY.  

 

Our great corporate leaders sell out all the American people with payoffs and reckless policy shoved through government for a reason. The same reason they moved their factories overseas: to get 1800's sweat-shops back in 2010 with longer workdays and less benefits to make more money. Over the first half of the 20th century corporate America lost the battle between management and labor: labor unions flourished.

 

So Corporate America’s response to avoid labor unions, to avoid environmental regulations, to avoid workers compensation insurance, to avoid taxation, they just avoided America! Just BRILLIANT! They just left America and all its citizens behind. To avoid EVERYTHING that made America a nice place to live, all the gains of the Will of the People Movements noted, to increase the quality of life and the American, what built our LAST American dream, Corporate America and the global elite wealth class just abandoned America and all its citizens. Poof!

 

And they were so smooth in shutting up politicians about this mass slow five-decade exodus of wealth and factories that our whole LAST American Dream engine just disappeared: and nobody noticed? EXAMPLE: no politician ever running for President points this out and put forth a real citizen plan to build the next American dream engine. Like I am doing with RTDNOW. The American people are always the last to know their American dream engine was exported.

 

Ordinary hard working citizens, known as workers, want to live in modest prosperity and comfort with the opportunity to do much better, if they choose to pursue it. Factory owners seek to limit that by exploiting workers with subsistence wages, oppressive policies to increase their profits. We, and the world, desperately need a solution, a new civilization philosophy that balances both so all prosper. That new philosophy of equal prosperity is called RTDNOW: Redeem The Dream Now.

 

 

A 150 YEAR GLOBAL BATTLE OF THE WILL

WORKER VS. OWNER: WE ARE ALL STILL IN

 

The people have a will for a better life. The ruling global elite global corporate wealth class has the will to exploit our people, exploit America, all levels of governments, and all our resources for endless increase in profits. It is this struggle that divided the world into what we used to call communists and capitalists.

 

For 170 years this battle has raged. In recent American history we see it in the Corporate Revolt and Revolution of 1970. Elsewhere in other Podcasts, we have discussed the Lewis Powell memo was effectively Corporate America’s Declaration of Independence calling for corporations to control government policy and education in America.

 

1971 is 36 years after the blossoming of the American dream started expanding after 1945 after World War 2 ended. Basically half a generation of capitalists watched greater worker wages and benefits dismantle half of their potential profits. They calculated the trend forward that if the workers rights (also known as their American dreams) were to continue to increase they would have even less profits 30 years from now!

 

That was the conclusion of the trend analysis by corporate America in 1970 and why they staged their Corporate Revolution flooding OUR politics with money until their crowning achievement in 2010 having a rogue Supreme Court make corporations artificial citizens which TOTALLY dismantled our democracy by allowing corporate money to be legal in politics and with this ruling dismantled the notion that America is a Republic, is a FARCE, because now the corporations were now making the laws and governmental policy: NOT the People anymore.

THE AMERICAN DREAM LOST

HOW DO WE REBALANCE OUR AXIS OF

CITIZEN AND CORPORATE PROSPERITY?

 

What to do. We had a corporate revolt for 46 years and nobody noticed until they stole $25 trillion dollars from the treasury, $16 TRILLION IN THE LAST 16 YEARS, and made off with another $25 trillion in corporate giveaways.

 

That's partly how the Redeem The Dream Now was imagined, in response to today’s titanic imbalance in America between the haves, and have-nots, like in 1776. And in recent American history it caused a purposeful Corporate Revolt that ended up overthrowing the peoples government as discussed above. This imbalance destroyed 300 million American dreams as the American citizens were put to sleep for a generation. Now rapid upward mobility for 300 million ordinary citizens has been wiped out.

 

So where do we as a people find ourselves for a civilization philosophy to follow in 2018 forward to make all our lives better, that we can all believe in? Communism was a failure. Capitalism fails all the people by mercilessly exploiting and abandoning to economic suffering and implosion them every 60-90 years.

 

We, and the world, don't have a valid civilization philosophy at the moment because the global wealth class elite brought back subsistence wages which are the hallmark of the Master-Slave relationship that existed for centuries, only to be ended for a short time, with a new civilization philosophy of personal freedom equality emerged in 1776.

 

That civilization philosophy was the Declaration of Independence drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson. That one document blew up the master slave relationship that ruled the world by declaring to the world "All men are created equal." And that was the birth of the American dream.

 

But the sad irony is that the real American dream of equality, local self-rule and no taxation, which was another way of saying economic freedom, the wealth class stepped in once more 10 short years later in our second American revolution. And ever since, the will of the American people has been purposefully fragmented to bury Jeffersonian Ideals, which were the basis for the American dream (see Adrian 2020/Jeffersonian Renewal) and slowly strangle the American dream until working in America today once again resembles subsistence wage plantation workers.

 

 

FIXING THE HUMPTY DUMPTY PROBLEM OF PUTTING ALL THE PIECES OF THE AMERICAN DREAM QUICKLY BACK TOGETHER AGAIN

 

To put America back in balance where ALL citizens have a vibrant America dream and corporations have reforms so they bring factories back, I developed the 300 million as 1 Redeem The Dream Now movement. The RTDNOW Plan restores everyone's America dream overnight by putting all the elements that work for all the people into an equality plan and Movement.

 

The RTDNOW Plan is waiting for every single citizen in America to read at RTDNOW.COM. And then to get it implemented we need 100 million to 300 million to add their names to the RTDNOW petition to end modern runaway government at RTDNOW.COM so it can be implemented based upon the will of the American people.

 

The only question for every American citizen is, "Are you tired enough of getting bankrupted by runaway government that you'll add your name to a simple RTDNOW Plan to save America for the ordinary hard working citizen?” Or have you all been thoroughly brainwashed that only the wealthy can rule over us? That only big corporations can chart our paths forward? Have you become so confused and apathetic that you are unable to do a simple action to save your American dream and America itself?

 

The results of over 30 years of Corporate rule in America through money in politics, it changed all governmental policy to benefit corporations not citizens. And in doing so destroyed the last American dream engine taking countless major factories overseas. By being in debt $25 trillion and spending another $25 trillion with NOTHING to show for it is a horror story.

 

 

IF YOU HAVE THE WILL TO SURVIVE AND PROSPER, JUMP IN THE RTDNOW LIFEBOAT

AND ROW BY ADDING YOUR NAME

 

At this point 300 million Americans adding their names to the RTDNOW Plan is like 300 million citizens jumping in a giant life-boat to escape an economy that will go under within 10-20 years, drifting with no citizens American dream plan, and grabbing an oar and paddling for shore.

 

300 million as one read the RTDNOW 2nd Declaration of Independence from runaway government. Read that RTDNOW ‘Citizen’s’ Plan. That's 10 minutes total.
