A couple of years ago when I first started going to protests here in New York City and getting on the subway without a mask I used to play uprising through my earphones to give me energy to get through this hell!

Thank you for posting Hotel Paranoia, Mark, here are the lyrics written out:

HOTEL PARANOIA

(the rewrite)

On the great reset highway, fools’ words in my ear

Warm smell of infection, rising up through the fear

Up ahead in the future, I saw a frightening sight

My health grew heavy and my rights grew dim

I got locked down for the night

“Show passports at the doorway,”

I heard the armed guards tell

And I was thinking to myself,

“This could be Heaven or this could be Hell”

Then they brought out the needles and they boosted away

There were voices from the monitor,

I thought I heard them say…

Welcome to the Hotel Paranoia

Such an ugly place (Such an ugly place)

So just mask your face

Plenty of doom at the Hotel Paranoia

Any kind of fear (Any kind of fear)

You can find it here

The news is definitely twisted toward propagandic ends

They got a lot of pretty newsman boys they call friends

How they lie in the courthouse, hyping the threat.

Some lie to remember, some lie to forget

So I called up the doctor,

“Please help me feel fine”

He said, “We haven’t showed that spirit here since nineteen twenty nine”

And so our choice is falling so far away,

Taken out in the middle of the night

Then you hear them say…

Welcome to the Hotel Paranoia

Such an ugly place (Such an ugly place)

So just mask your face

The living will die at the Hotel Paranoia

What a big surprise (not a nice surprise)

Right before your eyes.

Fear’s up to the ceiling,

They keep vaccine on ice

“Sure,” we said, “we are all just listeners here, on our own device”

And in Big Pharma’s boardrooms,

They gathered for the feast

They profit from our sickly lives

And they just can’t care the least

Last thing I remember, I was

Lying on the floor

I couldn’t get the message back

To the way it was before

“React,” said the fright man,

“We are programmed to deceive.

You can fact check any time you like,

But you will not believe.”

This is how we do it...

I remember when Occupy started. A little crowd of us types went marching around in my small town... "This is what Democracy looks like!" Shouted by one and then same by everybody else, so we could have it in a paced march...

The other morning when I went walking, I was doing this saying "This is how we do it!" And hearing the answering same in my head, and imagining marching again, millions of us, all over the USA, and Canada, and Australia, and New Zealand, and Germany, and Sri Lanka, and France, and England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, and Italy... ALL OVER THE WORLD.

When anyone asks me now, "But how can we fight this thing, they are so powerful, etc etc, I say this: "THIS IS HOW WE DO IT..." To really understand, we have to be LIVE, in PERSON, and SHOW UP and DO IT. And we get up, and we get in the street, and we fill the street, and walk it, and dance it, and shout it, and sing it, and whisper it, by the hundreds, by the thousands, by the MILLIONS. And we have drummers in there, and some cow bells, all kindza noise, and our VOICES...

Just like that, and you know, it will bring the rest, whatever we need, like a kind of prayer, like a wonderful human magnet. And we WILL WIN BACK OUR SOVEREIGNTY. Yes, we will! And...

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT!

Muse UPRISING is great! I think I used the lyrics in some sort of "binding thing" If I find it I'll post link in case anyone's interested. Can't believe that song was 2009? Yikes I'm old...

Being old means we have a much larger music catalogue in our brains... ;)

Here's one that might fit the situation:

Here's pretty much the most punked out level I went to when I was around 20 or so... And it FITS, even though it was about 40 years ago... Still makes me wanna jump around, lol...

Black Flag came to San Antonio, and the cops shut it down before they even started... We were Not Amused. Anyway, the chorus really works today...

RISE ABOVE, WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE...

WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR ABUSE

TRY TO STOP US, BUT IT'S NO USE

Yes!! Muse rocks that song, one of my favorites.

Dr Miller you constantly surprise me with your broad range of musical interests, from progressive metal to the folk songs that you yourself wrote.

Another favorite I've been listening to recently is What's Going On by 4 Non Blondes. Amazingly, the same band who was warning us about the world being run by a "brotherhood of men", and now they are shilling for Fauci & the cabal, doing benefit concerts for vaccines. Oh well, the song inspires me in a different way now - now it's an anthem to how people can become brainwashed if they're not vigilant. We now know what's going on, it's called propaganda:

I used to listen to Rage Aganst the Machine and was amused that it was a favorite of young soldiers, but I can’t stomach them or anyone who supports the totalitarianism. Just too raw for me. for example, I can appreciate ancient philosophers, even though I understand women weren’t included in their thoughts, because I understand it was the culture of their time. But because we’re living the tyranny, I can’t. Rage Against the Machine is in the same ‘camp’ as Chomsky except they’d be fed. Ironically John Cooper of the Christian rock band queries how he became the revolutionary. https://loudwire.com/skillet-john-cooper-rage-against-the-machine-government-rock/

OH YES, that friggin Noam. In case anyone missed it, here's what that dick said:

Noam Chomsky makes comments about people who refuse to be vaccinated against COVID-19

Sam DuffyNovember 3, 2021

https://thecord.ca/noam-chomsky-makes-comments-about-people-who-refuse-to-be-vaccinated-against-covid-19/

>>>> Chomsky claimed that voluntary isolation should be expected of people who refuse to be vaccinated, as they pose a potential harm to society. He was hesitant to claim enforcement would be necessary but acknowledged that if steps were not taken voluntarily then state intervention may come into play. <<<<

>>>> Chomsky’s comments follow a string of bad judgements, namely, finding moral equivalence in U.S. foreign policy and the attacks of Sept. 11.

>>>> In the interview he gave with the Primo Radical YouTube channel, he claimed that unvaccinated people should be informed that they should voluntarily isolate themselves from society because they are a danger to public safety, and that those with moral capacity will do so.

>>>>>>when he was asked how this isolated class would receive food.

He remarked that this was a problem for the unvaccinated. The solution then, according to Chomsky, is to appeal to moral capacity and then claim that those who do not understand should live in an isolated existence with food uncertainty.

Expand full comment

Yes, RFKjr talked and wrote about his great regard he had had for Chomsky. Sadly, his end is tragically revealing. When faced with a respiratory virus, he sided with the uninformed and voted to condemn the unvaccinated. And the vaccines are ineffectual, and terribly dangerous. Chomsky is a man of weak mind, and cowardly character. His previous work in that light looks very different.

It's quite possible he's been sucked into the Mass Formation terror, like a lot of folks... or perhaps he's got some dementia going on... it's pretty common these days, and we can thank the chem trails for that, among other things... Sigh.

Expand full comment

Absolutely. And really, he followed the mass thought but in a seemingly intellectually radical way, bu being such a forced mRNA injection zealot. That is how one gets ahead in the cookie cutter mold of academia in which he made his name. Retrospectively, that was his SOP.

Too right. Nailed it.

Let's just call it what it is: Coercion and TORTURE. Simple enough. He's lost all cred with me.

And if we're gonna do this right, those calling for coercion and torture should voluntarily isolate THEMSELVES because they are a danger to public safety!!

Quite honestly he has always sounded like a crabby crank. His thoughts don't surprise me at all. Same with Rage Against the Machine. But I will follow their advice in "Killing in the Name of" Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me

Point taken, lol. I still haven't read the legal not-brief of yours that I wanted to read, but I saved it...

Expand full comment

hah! It seems naïve now. Because of a database I used, I get various academic papers on Eugenics and the Holocaust. And it just keeps getting darker and darker. Like IBM, Harvard was quite useful to Hitler's plans. An interesting side note on Japanese internment being upheld by SCOTUS, apparently that ruling was the start of the 'balancing test' where 'compelling state interests' could over ride individual freedom. I am not a legal historian, but my 'Spidey instincts,' tell me that bad decisions beget more bad decisions - can't erase original sin.

Expand full comment

yep that's the one! Ironically it was watching videos from the Media Education Foundation that laid the groundwork for my resistance that this was all propaganda. Mark Miller was asked about Chomsky in a podcast. I don't want to misrepresent his views, but suffice to say, he found Chomsky selective on where he believed wrongful acts by the government existed.

He's largely to blame for the left's disgraceful neglect of JFK/Dallas, King/Memphis, 9/11 and the thefts of the elections in 2000 and 2004.

I heard you discuss that in a recent podcast with attorney Fuellmich. There was a chance my son would go to NYU and I had hope that he could have you as a professor. Alas, NYU offered no aid as we weren't the desirable demographic (at least they admitted it.) Speaking of podcasts, would you ever think of doing one with philosophers such as David Berlinsk or David Gelernter? They, along with Stephen Meyer were interviewed by Peter Robinson. It is pre-Covid. But the seeds of what was to come are there. Gelernter discusses how group think stifled any questioning of Darwin at Yale. He also voices concern that what happened to the literature departments would come to the Sciences. It was just one sentence with no elaboration. I would be fascinated what these scientists would make of what has happened. Would they follow authoritarian rule or would they follow their own path as they had with Intelligent Design?

Yeah all this "groupthink" has been getting smeared over us like stinky jam for decades... So easy to herd people into that kind of shite, because people are herd animals... When you dumb them down enough that they no longer have any idea about much of anything besides pop culture, well... shit.

RE "because it was the culture of their time" Gee Liz, why don't peep get this? Margaret Sanger is now just another Nazi eugenicist. George W just another slave holder... Don't excuse things but CONTEXT of the times they were in. No rewriting, wiping out history! Thanks!

Well, kinda, re: Sanger. Have you read The Pivot of Civilization? Seems to me she was more into eugenics than into feminism.

Paul, I have that 4NBs song in one of my playlists. Saw them live many times way back when. WTF is this about "shilling for Fauci & the cabal, doing benefit concerts for vaccines"??? YUCK. sad so sad....

Expand full comment

There was a concerted effort by Fauci, Jerome Adam's (under Trump), NIH, CDC, etc, to get celebrities & social media influencers to promote the vaccine & publicize their getting the shot. Here is just one example, a group call with 30+ celebs:

And in another example, 4NB and some other musicians:

https://wfpk.org/2021/linda-perry-recruits-foo-fighters-sheryl-crow-dawes-more-for-benefit-to-grow-vaccination-efforts/

Fauci was particularly interested in getting black celebs on board. DL Hughley talks about Fauci calling him, and pushing back, referencing Tuskegee etc. Unfortunately Fauci convinced Hughley to take the jab, and subsequently passed out on stage:

It's horrible to watch black folks talking each other into trusting psychopaths like Fauci... And it's notable that nobody in this video (the last one on your comment) talks about actual science, just about "trust" and what has happened in the past... AS IF somehow these days all that is just "history" and has no relevance, while their cousins in Africa are being taken down and sterilized by Bill Gates for years... decades.

ALL black folks, and everybody else, too, should read the story of Henrietta Lacks.

Until I read the comments, I did not realise "degrading us" was not produced overnight...too too appropriate and eery feeling. I wasn't listening to pop or rock or whatever at the time, classical was my feed at the time.

As for Hotel California it's come to it's appropriate re-write.

So genial of you to post them for us. Thanks Mark.
