The Logistics of Reparations - In addition to sparking protests across the globe, the killing of George Floyd revived the national conversation about how to repay Black people for centuries of state-sanctioned racism. Political will for reparations, long too weak to ignite any substantive change, shows signs of shifting: While a 2019 survey found that 15% of white Americans supported reparations, a July 2020 poll put that number at 39%.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 211 & BENKYO RADIO 211. There’s also LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 043. I can’t believe that we only have 24 more days until the Election. I want to remind you that we need to be patient, since they will have to count all the mailing ballots, which may take weeks. In any case, we must go away from the Trump nightmare. He is not fit to be President. People knew this for a long time, they were unwilling to speak out. I am very glad that Keith Olbermann is sounding the alarm and resumed his YouTube series. Every time that I get upset about working for free, I get reminded that I am not the only one. There are many people working, desperately working for their next paycheck or stimulus check. I can’t wait to read John O. Brennan’s book which essentially says that the Intelligence Community is working extremely hard to avoid a 2016-style Russian hack of the 2020 Presidential Election, and since today is World Mental Health Day, I am going to read a Zen book that Kevin Rose mentioned on his podcast.

Stay safe, boys & girls, we can do this. Only just a little longer to go. Don’t forget to watch the 43 episodes of GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka. A story about a Substitute Teacher with a dark past whom students can’t wait to get him fired but then beg him to get them out of trouble. He takes care of the bullies, whether there are boy or girl. The students forget that teachers are human beings too. He explains to them that they can’t say teachers are losers and then call them Teacher when they need help. The story talks about nerdy boys whom mean girls make his life miserable in Middle School, so much that he wanted to kill himself. Onizuka saves his life and tells him not to worry, he will make school learning fun. Later in the show, the mean girls who hate Onizuka gets kidnapped by dirty old men who want to videotape them and he comes to their rescue, even though they treated Onizuka like shit. Onizuka not only gets fired, but saves the day. The expression: “don’t judge a book by its cover” is very important when it comes to Onizuka.

Don’t forget to watch the South Park Pandemic Special!

I saw a picture about a kids classroom. In Yemen. There was no classroom. They were sitting in the dirt, in a building which was destroyed by rockets. I want you to picture that setting, and please stop complaining about online classes from now on.

Welp, I’m gonna make more coffee, and eat some sunflower seeds, because I have more writing to do.

Wear a mask! Use social-distancing! Use hand-sanitizer!

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 210 & BENKYO RADIO 210. I also included LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 042.

With the latest news about Trump catching COVID-19, I think people who did not take the coronavirus seriously finally will. For months, many of us have been isolated. For months, we have been unable to sit down at our favorite coffee shops and restaurants. We haven’t been able to go to our concerts. Meanwhile, this bunch of idiots at the White House are having big gathering and hugging one another. The majority of us Americans have not been able to hug our parents since March. Doctors and Nurses, can’t hug their kids. People who work on-site, have to come home after a long day of work, throw everything in the laundry, away from the rest of the family, and jump instantly in the shower for decontamination. Secret Service, have had it up to here because Trump wouldn’t wear a fucking mask. And the worst part? Who was in charge of tackling Coronavirus? VP Mike Pence. He was calculating this moment. He’s trying to be the candidate with less than 30 days to go. Well, America won’t forget the 200,000 people who have died of the disease. We need Biden/Harris to get us back to the real world. One more fucking month, guys & gals, one more month. Early voting has already started in many states. Be sure to vote immediately after you receive your ballot in the mail. America’s democracy is at stakes. If you somewhat forget that we are in a constitutional crisis, I suggest you read your copy of the U.S. Constitution once more. C’mon y’all. Russia, China, and North Korea are taking advantage of this shit. Let us assure you that the Intelligence Community and the Military are always on deck and on-call. 30 more days. Joe Biden, get us back on track, please. I thank you, and so does millions of Americans.

Wear a mask!!!

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 209 and BENKYO RADIO 209. Now, we are about 36 days away from the Election. There are plenty of documentaries about November 2020. The American People has now figured out that Trump is not just a national disaster, but an embarrassment to our great nation. Now you see why Bernie Sanders wants to tax the rich. The Rich always try to avoid paying taxes, while the rest of us Middle-Class Americans work tirelessly and pay our fair dues. If this was an average American, he would be in jail. Trump must face repercussion for his actions. The only way America can redeem itself is by electing Joe Biden & Kamala Harris as our next President and Vice President.

Stay strong, we are so close to a hint back to reality. Let’s elect Joe Biden, we have a lot to do, and if we want a coronavirus vaccine way before the end of 2022, we need an Administration that listens to its Dr. Fauci, because that’s what they’re doing in Germany, and they aren’t having the same statistics we are.

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 208 & BENKYO RADIO 208. Now, I understand there’s going to be many rallies about how our lives are completely turned upside-down because of the Trump administration, but remember this, NOTHING WILL MATTER IF YOU DO NOT VOTE. You have to vote. We have to beat the Electoral College. You need to show enthusiasm. Put some spirit into it! That means a Biden sticker, or a Yard sign, or a coffee mug. If you can allocate time, please help the phone banking to call all those swing-states, who as you know, are sometimes too lazy to vote. I know, because 4 years ago, I was at Hillary Clinton’s local office making phone calls for the election, and many people who talked to us, did not see the point in voting. Well, in 2020, I think everybody knows the importance of voting for Biden. Society as we know it might crumble if we let Trump for 4 more years.

I want to congratulate Toyota on their 24 Hours of Le Mans 2020 win.

Don’t forget to mask-up, use social-distancing, use hand-sanitizer. Due to folks not following instructions, we might be stuck with this virus until 2022. This is unfortunate. If everybody used masks, this COVID-19 could be contained within 4-6 weeks.

For Batman Day, I went to grab coffee at Dutch Bros. I love coffee, and what better place than get it at Dutch Bros, since most of my favorite DJs are Dutch. Only a few more weeks until Amsterdam Dance Event Pro 2020!!!

Less than 42 days left until this nightmare is over! Vote Biden/Harris 2020!

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 207 & BENKYO RADIO 207. I’m watching the 24 hour of Le Mans which is pretty awesome. The race reminds you of endurance, which is what we are experiencing right now. We have 44 days until the Election. Are you going to stay silent and mute about the current state of affairs? Or are you going to use your power to vote? My copy of Bob Woodward’s new book RAGE just came in, and I am about to devour it. I am going to read it, and you should too, then your eyes will open wide as fuck. You will read about how Trump knew about how dangerous COVID-19 was SINCE FEBRUARY 2020 AND DID NOT SAY SHIT BECAUSE HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE STOCK MARKET, WHAT THE FUCK. So pretty please, 200,000 have died, this is a national crisis, please vote. Thanks in advance.

There are millions of young people who are bored. Please help them. Help them find hobbies. Please don’t let them despair. We are adults. Many of us who are geeks don’t mind being on the computer most of the day. But many human beings, having to be on a video-conference call for 8 hours a day can be depleting. Therefore, help them, be optimistic. We are all in this together. We only have 44 days left until the election. Once we elect Biden, we can recuperate a little bit. It will be a sense of relief.

Deadmau5, I miss your coffee runs videos with various DJs. Can you make some kind of zoom call with a bunch of DJs and share it with the world? Carl Cox has been doing that. A lot of electronic music fans are feeling really down because they can’t go to concerts, and would love to hear you guys talk to one another. It would give us motivation to keep going. Especially during their tough hard times.

My favorite coffee shop is local to Sacramento (Temple Coffee) and hasn’t built a location in Modesto (yet, hopefully someday). There are some Dutch Bros coffee in the area. They have a large menu. Sometimes I picture an Anchorman style battle between the various coffee baristas from Temple Coffee, Starbucks, Dutch Bros, and Blue Bottle Coffee. They really ought to make a video, it would be very funny, especially since everybody is bored due to COVID-19. Life is hard, but with just a cup of coffee, you will magically feel better, at least it works for me. Maybe it will for you too.

Until next time!

As I write this, there are 51 days until the Presidential Elections. That’s a month and a half, and a few additional days left until we vote Trump out of office for his unforgivable inexcusable behavior. I watched a recent episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, and a former FBI agent admitted that he is convinced that Trump is compromised by Russia. We cannot afford to have Trump as President for 4 more years. That is too dangerous of a precedence. We must elect Joe Biden as our next president, and restore respect to our great nation. If Young People and Blacks are not excited about the election, I can guarantee you that you won’t like 4 more entire years of Trump. Shall I bust out the calculator? 4 more years of Trump is 1,460 days of Trump. We’ve already had 4 years of this obscure sadistic scary reality show. Do we really want 4 more years? If the answer is no, you better be sure to fill out your mailing ballot and drop it off at polling locations. Listen to AOC. She’s right, the White Nationalists and various fascists/racists/are going to try to swindle this election, and we must not let them. We need to win 270 electoral college votes. We must get over 300. We must win overwhelmingly, and kick Trump out of the White House. Let’s do it. Let’s get it done. Don’t forget that COVID-19 is still going on, so please wear a mask and use social distancing. A vaccine should be ready by 2021.

When you feel like you’re alone and nobody cares, I want you to know that I got your back. Many in the Intelligence Community are tired of this shit, and we will restore order to America this November, but we need the help of the American people. Let us rebuild an America that works for ALL citizens, not just the top 1% of the 1%.

Peace talks are taking place regarding Afghanistan. We need peace in that country. Think of the future generations. And don’t forget about the women and young people of that nation. I hope Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has finally convinced all parties that it is time for Peace. Thanks in advance.

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 205, BENKYO RADIO 205, and LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 040.

Here I was driving past a Bass Pro Shops, and I remember the very first time I walked in that store many many years ago, I found one thing very striking. You see, as soon as I walked inside, I said to myself, “the only two black people in the entire store are cleaning the floor? There’s clearly something wrong with this picture.” You see, the BLM movement has had frustrations for many years, and many of us are unfortunately oblivious to this. You need to understand this. Remember one of my previous blog posts. The difference between pulled over when you are white or black. It’s striking and it’s sad. We must all come together. We must not let white nationalists stir the pot and keep fighting among us. It’s gotten bad. It’s gonna to a point where a few people don’t see the difference, and are not “motivated” enough to vote for Biden. Are you fucking serious? Can you imagine 4 more years of this non-sense with Trump? You heard the Bob Woodward tapes. Trump knew about COVID-19’s impact back in Jan/Feb, and did not do enough to prevent the 200,000 deaths. It’s unforgivable. I plea with you to please vote for Joe Biden / Kamala Harris. If you ever want to wake up from this nightmare, if you want to return to normalcy and the ability to simply walk the streets or go places without wearing a mask, we need to elect Joe Biden. He will bring a realistic track towards a vaccine. Listen to the adults in the room. Dr. Fauci is an adult. He knows that there’s no way a vaccine can be ready by November. He knows it’s on its way, but we all have to work hard. We will get this done by 2021. Stay strong. In the meantime, wear a mask, use social-distancing. Don’t forget to get your flu shot too, because it’s flu season, and the last thing you need to worry on top of COVID-19 right now, is the flu.

Until next time!

The best way to make sure BLM are respected is for Biden to win and have Harris as VP. She can make sure the agenda does not forget about Black Lives Matter. Remember, protesting is important, but if the people don’t have the votes, we are stuck with 4 more years of Trump, something the American people cannot afford. As soon as you receive your voting ballot in the mail, fill it out, and go to a polling location and drop it off! #VoteBidenToSaveAmerica

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 203 & BENKYO RADIO 203. I’ve also included LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 039.

We have a very hot weekend on our hands, so please listen to officials about how to prevent power outages. I am very excited that more DJs are making ambient / LoFi music (looking forward to listen to Diplo’s new release). I finished Coffee Talk. It is an EXCELLENT game. I can’t emphasize how awesome it was. What you need to understand is that many of us understand the importance of therapy, and we do go to it, but even that is only a 30-45min session once in a while and it’s costly. This Coffee Talk less than $20 game was the most therapeutic experience I have had in the longest time. I cannot describe how much helpful it has been to my mental health, especially since many indoor seating in coffee shops are closed. The conversations, the music, and just drinking a hot cup of coffee made a wonderful combination. I’m not only directing this to women.. Men, as much as we love to pump our chests and act tough and all this and that, I think I speak for all of us that during this Coronavirus crisis, you’ve probably wanted to punch a hole in the wall. Well, trust me, play “Coffee Talk” and you will chill the f out. This game was so mellow and calm and helpful, I highly recommend it. I don’t just want a sequel, I want the next 10 iterations.

As I use my highlighter in my Foreign Affairs magazine, I am feeling a bit more cheerful than less than two months are left until we can finally vote and elect the 46th President of these United States, Joe Biden. He’s gonna do it. He has a huge team on stand-by, and we are ready to go and clean this godforsaken mess that Trump has left us. A pandemic without proper course of action, and a recession. We will wake up from this nightmare, but we cannot lose hope. Stay cheerful. There are Buddhist monks who can stay under a freezing waterfall for hours. I ask you to please stay strong for less than 2 more months. We vote, we bring Joe Biden in January 2021, and the recovery begins. Let’s get this done. Let’s save America. She is worth it.

I watched TENET and it was an excellent movie, highly recommended. The soundtrack is very good too.

NBA 2K21 is out! So is the new Avengers game! Even the new Tony Skater remastered is released!

Have a safe Labor Day Weekend!

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 202 & BENKYO RADIO 202. I recently watched the Bill & Ted trilogy, and I thought it was pretty good. We definitely need a song that will unite the world. While I am sad that this is yet another year where I am unable to visit Amsterdam, I am so excited to attend ADE Pro 2020, since the conference will be virtual this year. I really want to hear from some of my favorite heroes speak (such as Jean-Michel Jarre), and collab with some of my favorite DJs.

I finished watching CORPORATE on Comedy Central, it was definitely an interesting watch.

As #BLM continues to be in the news, I decided to watch “The Green Book” again. It’s such an important movie. We have to say it like it is, Trump refuses to acknowledge the dangers of white nationalists. Do you know why? Because he wants them to vote for him in November. We cannot let these haters win. We must vote in numerous numbers this November. We must vote by mail, more than 2 weeks in advance, fill out our ballots, and dropping them off at a polling location. Only about 60 more days to go. We can do this.

Please stop feeling disillusioned. We’re almost back on track. About 2 more months of the Trump show, and the nightmare is almost over, but only if Biden wins. That’s why it’s important for Lawyers to ask the Pentagon to make sure the elections are held fairly and that the results stick, and Trump finally leaves office.

Until next time!
