What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 330 & BENKYO RADIO 330.

This blogpost has been redacted due to a polite request from the FBI & the CIA. I’m still very upset, but, hey, National Security.

All I can say is Mental Health is very important, and always check in with your friends and family who are struggling.

Throughout our country, there are young teenage boys who are bullied. Bullied by mean girls, bullied by other guys. They need role models. They need teachers who make education fun and exciting. Don’t you remember how frustrating school was when you were 14-18? Traumatized. I was traumatized. That’s why I take my GTO approach now. To understand other points of view, I am watching “Friday Night Lights” on Netflix now.

A few years ago, a Honduras Man called me a Faggot. I didn’t take it lightly. Now, Oracle executives are facing insider-trading allegations. His favorite Barcelona team is losing Messi. Honduras Drug Cartel got arrested.

As posted in a previous blogpost, I’ve said if anybody calls you a Faggot, you tell him that FAG backwards is GAF, or “General at the Air Force.”

Do not push my buttons. You’ve seen Naruto and what the Nine-Tails can do.

Best way to explain this is read the Bleach manga and watch the Anime. The next Presidential Elections are in 2024, and if we want AOC to win, to fight the evil forces who meddle with Elections, the Super PACs who tried to stop Nina Turner, the ones who fucked up Bernie Sanders’ win in IOWA…all of that shit, if we want Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to win in 2024, we really need to take it to the next level. I know sometimes I can seem extremely frustrating, but I am just Yoda. I work in mysterious ways.

Whether you are religious or not, please pray for our U.S. Troops who have one more month before the Pullout of Afghanistan. The next chapter will be very complicated, but right now, we need the fight the Military-Industrial-Complex. Too much money is spent on that and not back home, where we can spend it on Education. Let’s make school tuition-free. Let’s make Biden forgive student loans.

A very Happy 60th Birthday to Barack Obama, who taught me, when you’re a minority, you have to work 10 times as hard and are allowed very few mistakes. Unlike a white guy. I’m sorry but that’s the truth. Everybody got fucking upset at Obama for wearing a tan suit, but when Trump did his fucked up behavior for 2-4 years, he kept fucking up and fucking up, and people let him. The media was complicit. It’s because they were making money. Well, now we are in a pandemic. Over 600,000 dead. Because of bad leadership. Because of racism. It is so fucking frustrating when there’s a highly qualified black/brown man or woman, and he or she doesn’t get the job over a white guy in FUCKING SANDALS. Please look in the mirror, what happened on Jan 6th was the KKK. They act like they were “BLUE LIVES MATTER” but see what they did? They attacked police officers? Do you realize how Black/Brown people feel when they see that on the news? That’s why BLACK LIVES MATTERS.

We need a mediator. I read a tweet from a guy named Travis who had the best quote: “I want to see an episode of Undercover Boss with Jesus in some of these evangelical churches.” I mean c’mon y’all. If you pray to God for help, well, “God” gave you a vaccine. You do know when toddlers are young, you go to a pediatrician, and he or she gives your kid like 11 vaccination immunizations. Many years ago, we had plagues, the reason why we don’t have plagues is that we have vaccines! And now, we have a pandemic! To fight this pandemic, we use vaccines! Do you understand? Also, now with the mRNA technology, we might find a cure for Cancer and other diseases!

Now I just want to rest, read my copy of Computer Music & Future Music. 80Eighty is having a contest to win a GT-R. I pray to Jesus/Allah/Buddha that I win, even though it’s unlikely. Whether I win or lose, I’ll still always have a tuna sandwich here and there. RIP Paul. You are missed, every fucking day.

It’s All Gone Pete Tong is now available on YouTube. Please enjoy.

Remember, kids, if someone makes fun of your big ears, just say your ears are big like satellites because someday, it just might be true.

The new part of the Transformers trilogy is on Netflix! So excited!

Until Next Time!

It is imperative that you get your vaccination shots. As you know, with Pfizer and Moderna, there are two vaccination shots, about 2-3 weeks apart. Once you do one, you have to wait a little while before you can do the other one. Then, it takes another 2-3 weeks to start working. And now, it looks like we’ll soon need a booster shot. What does that mean? That means if that you haven’t gotten the vaccine yet, you are behind. You need to get your immunization because you are putting other people’s lives in jeopardy. Did you see what they said on the News? People who regret not getting the vaccine? Unvaccinated people, who plead doctors “not to let them die” before they get intubated? If you don’t want to end up in this situation, please wear a mask, and get vaccinated. Also, when you are vaccinated, you are unlikely to infect children, which as you know, ages 2 to 12 aren’t vaccinated yet as we all impatiently wait for September for the FDA approved vaccine for kids. I IMPLORE YOU, DO NOT TAKE THIS COVID-19 PANDEMIC AS A JOKE, GO ASK ANY DOCTOR/NURSE CURRENTLY WORKING IN HOSPITALS, THEY ARE EXHAUSTED AND TIRED (DID YOU WATCH THE NEW SEASON OF GREY’S ANATOMY? THIS SHIT IS CRAZY)

Dear Mr. President, please make Mental Health services free to all Americans. It’s time. Insurance, or no insurance. It’s imperative. COVID-19 has lasted over a year. People who have dealt with Mental Health for many years are somewhat habituated, but you have a whole new generation of people who have never dealt with Mental Health, and they are scared and stressed. Please make these services free to all. High priority to Firefighters, everyone working in Hospital, and the Police. Thanks in advance.

If Swedish House Mafia has a new album in the works, that means they’re going on tour again. Getting tickets will be incredibly hard, but I would love to go. Shoutout to one of my best friends who is also a SHM fan.

Fire Season, August/September, c’mon, California, LET’S GET SOME RAIN, PLEASE, give us a storm, give us some rain! 60 days! Thank you to Governor Gavin Newsom for his conversation with POTUS and VP on getting more help for our firefighters. Please don’t forget to vote against the recall of the Governor. If you think that the father/mother of 10 Gold Diggers who took advantage of Kanye West’s Bipolar tendencies would make a better governor, you are out of your fucking mind. We need a real leader like Gavin Newsom to stay in charge. How the fuck do you think we had the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in California? Do you have any fucking idea how complicated the SUPPLY CHAIN & LOGISTICS of getting the COVID-19 vaccine throughout California was?!? A big shoutout to USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Shoutout to the DOD’s Warp Speed program. Do not for a second think that it was Trump’s idea. He’s illiterate. If you want to thank someone, the next time you see someone in uniform or a veteran, say thank you.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 326 & BENKYO RADIO 326.

I am eager to make more CYBERPUNK RADIO podcasts/playlists, so please, if you have that genre type of electronic music, use #cyberpunk hashtag, or create a whole new subsection on Beatport please.

I understand that millions of people around the nation and the world are eager to go party and celebrate at concerts, DJ events, and Festivals around the globe. The faster you will see this take place is when everybody is vaccinated. Here’s what you must realize, most venues will only accept entry if you are vaccinated. If there are shows where people catch COVID-19, they will cancel events quickly, and then everybody will be upset. Please follow guidance, and get vaccinated. Also, if you are under 25, please enjoy Electronic Dance Music shows strictly for the music. Don’t be another teenager OD’d sob story (Swedish House Mafia - It Gets Better) It’s not worth it. Never accept pills from strangers. What you may be unaware of, is that many of these pills are mixed with the dangerous Fentanyl drug which pretty much kills people. It’s been a big problem. As you may remember, a long time ago I mentioned a DIA podcast in a blogpost about the dangers of that Fentanyl drug. Don’t do it just for yourself, think of your parents / loved ones. I understand many of the 18-25 age group are eager to party and have fun, and that’s great, but please do so responsibly. What’s the point if you don’t get home in one piece?

Maybe you’re new to the Electronic Dance Music Community. Check out various events, concerts, make friends, listen to various artists. There’s a lot to see. Enjoy.

Please get vaccinated if you have not already. Think about children under the age of 12 who haven’t got the vaccine yet and are impatiently waiting for September for the Pfizer vaccine for age 2 and up. Millions of parents are eagerly waiting. Make their lives a little easier and please get vaccinated against COVID-19. Listen to CDC Guidelines. Thank you.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 325 & BENKYO RADIO 325.

I think that by now, you have read the extensive coverage from The Guardian on “The Pegasus Project” which is Israel NSO’s illegal massive surveillance on the world. This included journalists, activists, world leaders, and more. I told you not to trust the “Mafia-Operating-Super-System-AD-vertising” (MOSSAD), and now, here we are. We cannot be Americans and say “let’s catch the bad guys!” and when we do find the bad guys (An Israeli Spyware/Malware company) not do anything about it. Biden might take his time to do something about this, but trust me, Emmanuel Macron will do something about this. And if you still think that French people are sissies who wear short shorts on military bases, I suggest you watch some GIGN videos. We/They don’t fuck around.

I want to especially thank the journalists from The Guardian and Le Monde and countless others for this report. It was very important to let it all out.

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 322 & BENKYO RADIO 322.

Here are some guidance for parents and video-games. Growing up, the game-system was hidden until all homework was completed, then the Playstation magically reappeared Friday late-afternoon. Sunday evening, it would magically disappear again, until the next weekend.

There are video-games for kids, and video-games for adults. If your child is four year-old, obviously you aren’t going to let him play GTA, maybe he or she can go play Mario or Sonic.

The video below is in French! If you don’t speak it, it’s a great time to learn!

Until next time!
