What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 283 & BENKYO RADIO 283.
I’m so excited about the month of May! It’s my birthday month. I have some projects to focus on as well. I wanted to highlight this month as a friendly reminder that whenever you feel as though the major countries of the G7 disrespect Palestinians by ignoring their problems, by ignoring the fact that Israel isn’t vaccinating them, causing ethnic cleansing, I want you to remember that you always have a friend in me. I raised awareness in the dance music community, and I am forever thankful that Beatport is showcasing Sama’ Abdulhadi’s incredible Techno DJ sets. We pray for peace and love for our Palestinian brothers and sisters.
As the pull-out begins to take place in Afghanistan, the Taliban must realize how stupid their rhetoric is. Killing innocent civilians won’t help them win the hearts and minds of everyday Afghan men and women. The United States confirmed that they are beginning to withdraw troops. There should be no more attacks. Need I remind you that the United States Air Force holds some pretty intense weapon systems. You should be thankful that we have a Democratic President. He could easily blow up Afghanistan to smithereens but he chooses not to because we are decent human beings. We are all human beings on this planet. Whether you are Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, other, or non-religious, we are all living on Planet Earth. And if you remember Carl Sagan’s speech from the satellite photo near Saturn, our world is nothing but a tiny blue dot. “God” or The Universe could easily burp and make us all disappear. You’ve seen how a pandemic virus brought us down to our knees. We need to work together. It’s time for the United States to lead the effort and give the patent of the vaccine to MSF (Doctors Without Borders) and Red Cross, so they can begin vaccinating the whole globe.
Summer is upon us. Let us pray for our firefighters who have a long fire summer season upon themselves. Let us pray for rain. Do a rain dance if you can. While #ClimateChange was the hashtag everybody was using, I want you to start using hashtag #ClimateChangeEmergency to raise the alarm. Sunrise Movement, keep holding the pressure on our elected officials. I know everybody thinks John Kerry is boring and annoying, but he’s here to get shit done. He’s here to work on our diplomatic ties with people around the world to work on the Climate Emergency.
Lastly, I am launching CYBERPUNK RADIO, my latest podcast series. Cyberpunk 2077 is such an amazing game and world. Please be patient, with version 1.22, and even more patches to come, it will be even better. Just imagine the DLCs…just imagine the sequels. For those of you who like VR, just imagine walking around Night City in VR. I have stickers, coffee mugs, t-shirt, hoodie, etc. I absolutely love this world. It’s cool and futuristic and I adore the music.
Please continue to support your favorite football (soccer) players in the EPL. Many have been subjugated to harassment and racism on Social Media. Racism has no place in Football.
The 2021 6hr of Spa-Francorchamps is taking place this weekend! Best of luck to all the drivers! Can’t wait to see these Hypercars!
