Carter Van Pelt Selects @ The Lot Radio 10 - 24 - 2021

All of our world's worst problems are created by the powerful. The powerful will keep creating those problems until ordinary people use their superior numbers to make them stop. Ordinary people don't use their superior numbers to stop the powerful because the powerful are continuously manipulating people's understanding of what's going on. 

Humans are storytelling creatures. If you can control the stories humans are telling themselves about the world, you control the humans, and you control the world. 

Mental narrative plays a hugely prominent role in human experience; if you've ever tried to still your mind in meditation you know exactly what I'm talking about. Babbling thought stories dominate our experience of reality. It makes sense then that if you can influence those stories, you're effectively influencing someone's experience of reality.

The powerful manipulate the dominant narratives of our society in approximately five major ways: propaganda, censorship, Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation, government secrecy, and the war on journalism. Like the fingers on a hand they are distinct from each other and each play their own role, but they're all part of the same thing and work together toward the same goal. They're all just different aspects of the US-centralized empire's narrative control system.

Reading by Tim Foley.

Imperial Narrative Control Has Five Distinct Elements

Someone thinks you’re beautiful
Someone thinks you’re all right
Someone thinks you’re wonderful
And that someone is, someone is, me
I believe in you, oh I believe in you
believe in you yea I believe

The clouds are forming in your sky
It rained all day so you just stay inside
you keep on saying you will never found your pot of gold
And that you have been told
All your dreams have all been sold
It hurt so much when the child inside dies
And it comes as no surprise to me
You can’t see your own beauty

Someone thinks you’re wonderful
Someone thinks your all right
Someone thinks you’re beautiful
And that someone is, someone is, me

Oh, I believe in you
Oh, I believe in you
Oh, I believe in you
yea I believe in you


The sun is shining in your sky
You use your hand to shade the sunlight from your eyes
The colors of your rainbow point to your pot of gold
And you say that you’ve been told
And all my dreams have all been sold
look there's a rainbow in your sky

Come and touch the sky whith me
take my hand and believe

Someone thinks you’re wonderful
Someone thinks your all right
 someone thinks you’re magical
And that someone is, someone is me

Oh, I believe in you
Oh, I believe in you
Oh, I believe in you

Hey na na na na I believe in you
Hey na na na na I believe in you
Hey na na na na I believe in you

No One Ever Gets What They Want

Snippets from the forthcoming Celestial Waters project. Featuring world class musician Timi Tanzania and superproducer St. Paul  

Celestial Waters [Snippets]

I use SoundCloud to keep a record of my original songs. Some tracks were recorded live in studio with great musicians, and some tracks i used Logic to record in my extremely makeshift home studio. But if you take the time to listen, if you have the ears to hear,  you’ll hear some great songs with lyrics that mean something, a light in the darkness of the world today, short little stories with lovely melodies and song structure. Yours to enjoy for free, my friends.
