  Renato shares his experience of the benefits of diverse perspectives, his advice on building self-confidence, and why the culture of future employers matters.

  And as Renato said, "We know people's potential can change when they are sufficiently supported. https://lnkd.in/dVPkCCf8

LIGHTS has released a new album called dEd. It’s very good, just like P3P. She also released an album entitled Warehouse Summer in memory of i_0. (988 Suicide & Crisis hotline). Great music, look into it.

It appears that Trump did not stay in jail. It appears that he was just booked, and he’s casually going around the country yet again. I’m tired of this shit-show. I just want some free time to enjoy my COMPUTER MUSIC / FUTURE MUSIC magazines, and spend time on FL STUDIO / ABLETON LIVE / LOGIC PRO. But these conditions make them almost impossible. I need a short sabbatical in France, I swear to God. Please end this Trump nightmare. I know it has been impossible to put him in jail for being a mobster, but you can put him away on tax crimes.

The whole planet is busy wanting to dance to Electronic Dance Music. Did you know that even Daft Punk are getting back together just for COACHELLA? Let us enjoy ourselves, Goddamnit.

BLOGPOST UPDATE IN PROGRESS

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 805 & BENKYO RADIO 805. As you know, 805 is the name of a beer maker. 8:05am is also when the first plane hit the WTC on 9/11/2001, and by some mysterious notion, Mastermind Sith Lord Dick Cheney held off and did not alert the U.S. Air Force almost immediately. Why was that? To initiate the Military-Industrial-Complex. A long campaign began, based on the mysterious number where 343 firefighters died. The Prime Factorization of 343 is 7x7x7, aka jackpot. It had appeared that the entire war in Afghanistan and Iraq was just about money. How depressing. Thank God, that Nafeez Ahmed wrote in his books The War on Freedom and The War on Truth. Rumors are that he will complete the trilogy. He received death-threats after mentioning MK Ultra, and that Mossad (Bibidi Netanyahu) was involved. Mossad, also known as the “Mafia-Operating-Super-System-AD-vertising.” George W. Bush had to look like an idiot for years simply because Dick Cheney took advantage of him. Due to the fact that Dick Cheney has a pacemaker, it will be extremely difficult for him to die, especially since he replaces his blood almost constantly. He needs to face the ICC. The Neoconservatives secret are out: “It was a Neo-Con.” The director of the documentary Loose Change was never taken seriously, but after the movie about WTC7, nobody could longer ignore this. There are rumors that the black boxes of the planes were modified, and that this information was included in a Top-Secret Report. As you are aware, it takes 50 years for things to get declassified. 50 years after JFK, they declassified things. Unfortunately, 50 years after 2001, that’s the year 2051, which is when the entire planet will be even more ravaged by Global Warming (Climate Change) and the war on drinkable Water, as discussed a few years ago in The Economist Intelligence Unit Report a few years back. Anyway, 9/11 was 3,000 deaths, which pales in comparison with COVID-19. Because it was not a physical plane crashing into a building, many uneducated Americans thought it didn’t matter. The failed to realize that a 9/11 was happening almost every week. Over 1,000,000 Americans died. That’s why you gotta get vaccinated. Powerpoints weren’t enough. People had to go into a park and plant 1,000,000 fucking little white flags to explain to the American population like they weren’t Homo Sapiens but Neanderdals. The entire country went Idiocracy. This entire holocaust-type event can be traced to one dumbass, Donald J. Trump, a man who refused to tell the American People to get vaccinated and wear a mask, even though he was. The Department of Defense (D.O.D.) were screaming at the top of their lungs, and initiated the Warp Speed program to find a COVID-19 vaccine. As you can see, if you get frustrated over 3,000 deaths, but you view 1,000,000 deaths as no issue, you are a fucking psychopath. I am so glad DJT has been indicted, and he will finally go to jail. #TrumpIsGoingToJail

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 800 & BENKYO RADIO 800. There’s an arrest warrant from the ICC for Vladimir Putin. What does it means? Here’s an explanation from Reuters.

I just finished “Under the Banner of Heaven” on Hulu. It was a bit disturbing, but it shed a light on the evil Zion Church FLDS in Utah. It just was so hard to arrest some of these individuals who exploited the Mormon Church for killing and raping women, and child marrying under-age girls. A very important series based on the book by Jon Krakauer.

Until Next Time!
