Amazing! I can’t believe I’ve reached episode 360! I am really thankful for my girlfriend, my therapist, and my family & friends who helped me deal with Mental Health. I am currently reading the BLEACH manga. Remember, BLEACH is an Anime/Manga sensation, you should NOT drink Bleach, that’s ridiculous, and you’d be poisoned, you’re not as stupid as Trump, are you?

Don’t forget to wear a mask, get vaccinated, and practice social-distance!

Don’t underestimate Death Stranding. There’s a reason why there’s a song that says “Please Don’t Stop Chapter 1.” I’m currently on Chapter 4 and it’s getting bonkers. This is the craziest game I have played in a long time.

I hope Cyberpunk 2077 has more patches coming, because the recent patches really ruined the experience.

Ronaldo is back at Manchester United. Please take this seriously. We must win the Champions League, and the League, and maybe even the FA Cup. Can we do it? A 2021/2022 Treble? LET’S GO!!!

Music Therapy is important! Look into it!

Ed Gillett investigates, finding that UK drug-takers’ safety is being left to a non-governmental patchwork of underfunded charities and volunteers, while heavy-handed policing leaves many people fearing getting help, when more progressive approaches — like those already implemented in The Netherlands or being advocated for in the UK — could ultimately save lives [DJ Mag]

The fact that millions go hungry or do not have healthcare is very hard on many people, so they have a hard time when they see people just casually caring about space endeavors. We can do both, just please, don’t forget that we have a lot of issues to deal with on Earth, especially Climate Change.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 356 & BENKYO RADIO 356.

This week was a very tough week on all of us for many reasons. First of all, it’s the 20th anniversary of 9/11/2001, dark day in American history. Everybody remembers it in its own way. Just please don’t forget part of the post-9/11 history, the part where lots of people stigmatized Muslims, or people who looked like Muslims. It was a very hard time for millions of Americans. I remember those days. The days when it was “unpatriotic” to not wear a flag pin. When being against the Iraq war was “unamerican.” Plus, I came from France, there was the huge “Freedom Fries” joke. Well guess what, look in retrospect. France was right about not going to Iraq, there were no WMDs. President Bush should have focused on catching UBL asap, and not let him casually walk to Pakistan (which probably had Pakistan’s ISI’s help). The best way we move forward, is to unleash all the bad laundry. As a result, I am glad that President Biden is letting the victims of 9/11, including the families of the 343 Firefighters mourn with getting a sense of justice. The fact that Michael Moore was right: the Saudi Government was indeed involved in funding the 9/11 attack. It was all about Big Oil Cartel. They billed trillions of dollars to the American Taxpayers. It’s a dark chapter in our country’s history, but I am glad that the FBI finally declassified it.

I want to thank the entire world community for helping everybody with Mental Health this week. Whether it was to have sermons, services, or sporting events with the American flag, there were plenty of activities to help everybody who deals with PTSD. I watched the WeatherTech Laguna Seca race on YouTube TV, and it was awesome. I hope to return on location next year.

This weekend is also Paul Walker’s birthday. A hero of mine, and a hero to many other people around the globe. I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I go for a drive, I feel like his presence is watching over us from the sky, whether you want to call it Heaven, or whatever intergalactic parallel dimension. As someone who has dealt with grief, going on a drive, drinking a coffee, listening to my music, it helps me tremendously. It’s the best therapy for me. As much as I love my therapist, a $5 coffee and a 1hr drive is a lot cheaper, and it really calms the mind afterward.

A big shoutout and a big thank you to the Intelligence Community who worked extremely hard from 9/09/21 to 9/12/21 to prevent any attacks on American Soil, whether from Radical Fundamentalists (less likely) and White Nationalists (more likely nowadays).

This weekend also has Command Massoud on our minds. Please have a Stealth B-2 Bomber flyover Kabul, and the Taliban will think twice before returning Afghanistan to a dark decade all over again. Thanks in advance.

Drinking one shot of tequila late tonight to think about our fallen servicemen and servicewomen.

People used to make fun of “self-care” days on Sundays. Now you see its importance. Take care of yourself and one another.

Until Next Time!

BLOGPOST UPDATE IN PROGRESS

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 354 & BENKYO RADIO 354.

As I impatiently wait for my next copy of Thomas Piketty’s latest book on equality (it talks a lot about income inequality throughout history), I have finally researched what the evil organization that is ruling the world. They have about $9 Trillion in assets, and they are called “BlackRock.” They basically own Wall Street. That’s what Showtime’s BILLIONS show is based on. I thought it was based on Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos, but those two are pistachios compared to “BlackRock.” I would like news organizations such as VICE News and The Intercept to please make new documentaries about this craziness, and why I had never heard of them before since just now. Thank you.

Please submit your ballot in the mail! Vote NO on the Recall on Gavin Newsom! We cannot afford another Trump-like figure to be in charge of California! They would destroy any progress we’ve made to defeat the COVID-19 virus and its mutations.

I’m listening to NPR lately, here is a new Throughline podcast episode about Afghanistan.

The new Matrix trailer is out! Remember, it’s just a movie. “Zion” is not suffering, but the Gaza Strip and the West Bank are. Israel has plenty access to COVID-19 vaccines. Palestinians do not. THAT is what’s REAL.

Get vaccinated! Wear a mask! Practice social-distancing! Wash your hands!

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 353 & BENKYO RADIO 353.

Here’s another reminder to please wear masks, practice social-distancing, wash your hands, and get vaccinated if you have not already. The COVID-19 vaccine for young children won’t be ready until late 2021, so the well-being of the children in the Community depends on YOU get vaccinated.

Also, I would like the FBI and local PD to please increase their investigation in Church Summer Camps around the country where there were no vaccinations and no mask wearing for signs of child sex abuse. Thanks in advance.

If you’re reading this, that means you survived Labor Day Weekend 2021 (LDW2021). Good job, that means you listened to the PSA about using a Designated Driver, and always wearing a seatbelt. It really makes a difference. Please prevent the trauma placed on CHP. They’re the guys/gals who show up at the scene of the accident, it gives them PTSD. Do you realize how much they hate having to constantly make PSAs during large holidays, and then some people still don’t listen and don’t wear a seatbelt? Wear a seatbelt, please. Do it for yourself, and your children. I thank you.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 352 & BENKYO RADIO 352.

PSA: It’s Labor Day Weekend. Please drive safe, and utilize a Designated Driver. Always wear your seatbelt, I implore you. Thank you.

I’m reading HODINKEE magazine recently. I wanted to support Kevin Rose, because I remember many years ago when millions of us geeks used to wait impatiently for that next episode of DiggNation, a podcast where him and his best friend Alex Albrecht drank beers and talked about all things Tech. It was really fun.

The U.S. Secretary of State is traveling to Qatar and a U.S. Base in Germany. The Germans are going to help with the efforts for Afghan Refugees. French Diplomats are working tirelessly around the clock making things happen too. Americans in various organizations are also using backchannels to help out as well.

The video below is about another Drum & Bass documentary. Remember my DnB Radio Show / podcast “GT RADIO” is available on Spotify.

Until Next Time!
