BLOGPOST UPDATE IN PROGRESS

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1040 & BENKYO RADIO 1040. Now, as you are aware if you are a fan or supporter of me, you are fully aware of what happened to me. I waited 17 years for a cup of coffee with a woman who did not show up and explain herself. The day she did not come, she said she was in the shower. I basically became one of the most important man in the entire industry of Technology and Music, and nobody dared tell me what happened. Everybody acts like she never existed. Then what happens, a woman with the same name is a spokesperson at the State Department. What happens to me? I have a crush on her as well. What the fuck happens? It was a ruse and she was a white nationalist. Who was the woman I was in love with? You might as well call her Lust. Her bestfriend for over 20 years knew I asked what the fuck happened to her, and she refused to utter a single word about her. I essentially invented SPACE FORCE, and she still did not say anything. I became so fucking frustrated, to me, she is dead and they uploaded her memories and I can only see her inside a video game called CYBERPUNK 2077. She’s also (spoilers) the terrorist in Death Stranding. There was a fucking SUPERNOVA who almost broke the atmosphere (our High School Senior Newspaper website was created by me, I called it FBZ [FRENCHBIGZ] GOES SUPERNOVA), and still, nobody wants to me where happened to her. I hate (almost) everybody from High School for doing this to me, except Keisha Box aka Beyoncé. This is a goddamn conspiracy, and it’s so messed up that they have to tell that story into the next Deus Ex, Deus Ex 3, Adam Jensen trilogy completed. Illuminatis (think about how much money billionaires made during the pandemic) exist on our planet, and we will expose them, just like when I proved (and others did) that MOSSAD did 9/11. Important to note that after 17 years of waiting for that cup of coffee, I said FUCK THIS, and basically became a superhero.

Until Next Time!
