Cognitive Dissidents: Ping Pong Politics, Sovereign Debt Rattle, & The Donald & Elon Show #11

...a straight up disgrace, you should be ashamed, and jump off the Brooklyn bridge. spin those tires fn

they HAVE to be drunk 2 fw your music

(Intro – spoken)
They say they’re cutting taxes.
But not for us.
They cut the crumbs… and serve cake to the top.
Tell me how that’s just?

⸻

(Verse 1)
They campaign on a tax slash, actin’ like it’s generous,
But the cuts don’t reach the bottom, only benefit the treacherous.
Trickle down’s a myth, we’re soaked in the drought,
While the rich get richer and we’re scraping it out.

They slashed council funds, then they shuttered the parks,
Took the heat from the homes and the light from the dark.
Libraries closed, and the buses got sold,
But they still got a chauffeur on the government roll.

Universal credit ain’t enough for a bed,
While a hedge fund donor gets another tax shred.
Cut welfare and claim we’re lazy and fat—
Try surviving on that, where the rent eats your flat.

⸻

(Chorus)
📉 What’s left? After the paycheck’s gone?
Bills, food, travel—still gotta carry on.
📦 What’s left? When the fridge is bare?
No heat, no hope, but they say it’s fair.

💸 What’s left? When the tax man comes,
But the tax cuts only feed the platinum ones.
📉 What’s left? Just debt and stress,
While they sip champagne and we clean the mess.

⸻

(Verse 2)
They were born on third base, thought they hit a home run,
Never seen mum cry over bills by the sun.
Silver spoon logic, they don’t know the price,
Of bread, milk, bus fare, or sleepless nights.

Empathy’s absent in that House of Shame,
Where they gamble our futures like it’s just a game.
“Cut the fat!” they shout—but they mean the poor,
While they renovate their office with taxpayer decor.

Ain’t no bootstraps when your shoes are gone,
When you’re working two jobs just to keep the lights on.
Ain’t no safety net when they’ve ripped it apart,
Now it’s payday loans and a broke-down heart.

⸻

(Bridge – spoken/half-sung)
They cut the lifelines, then blame us for drowning.
Tell us “tighten the belt”—when it’s choking and hounding.
But you don’t feel the pinch from your penthouse view…
You feel pity? Nah. We see right through.

⸻

(Chorus – repeat with more emotion)
📉 What’s left? After the paycheck’s gone?
Bills, food, travel—still gotta carry on.
📦 What’s left? When the fridge is bare?
No heat, no hope, but they say it’s fair.

💸 What’s left? When the tax man comes,
But the tax cuts only feed the platinum ones.
📉 What’s left? Just debt and stress,
While they sip champagne and we clean the mess.

⸻

(Outro)
So tell me again how this system’s just?
When the ones with the most ask the least of us.
This ain’t envy—it’s survival, plain.
You can’t lift yourself up when you’re chained by the game.

Yeah, they cut us down to climb up more,
But we ain’t silent—we’re keeping score.
Next time they say, “We’ve got your back,”
Ask them first: Whose hands hold that axe?

What’s Left?

In "Your Debt," Trey Knowles declares that we owe the system nothing but love. He speaks to how the system has stripped his people of their divine origin, forcing them to live in the shadows of darkness instead of the light of their true nature.

Leader to Leader: Modernizing Healthcare On How Cloud Adoption Drives Real Patient Outcomes

Republicans’ effort to pass megabill stretches overnight, suspected shooter in Idaho ambush of firefighters identified, and when is it a good time to sell or trade in your car. 

This Morning with Gordon Deal July 01, 2025

The conversation covers the book, "Debt: The First 5000 Years," by David Graeber (https://amzn.to/3G8NBYU) provided text explores the historical and philosophical understanding of debt and its relationship to various societal structures, including economics, morality, and power. It challenges conventional narratives, such as the myth of barter as the origin of money, suggesting that credit and accounting systems often predated coinage and were tied to social obligations and state power. The sources examine how concepts like "freedom" and "self-interest" have evolved, often influenced by systems of slavery, war, and commercial exchange. Furthermore, the text highlights the tension between hierarchical and communal principles in human relationships and how different civilizations have grappled with the inherent contradictions of debt and its impact on social order. Finally, it traces the intertwined history of war, finance, and labor, arguing that violence has consistently played a crucial role in shaping economic systems and perceptions of value.

Debt - The First Five Thousand Years

This conversation covers Michael Hudson's book, "…and forgive them their debts ' Lending, Foreclosure and Redemption From Bronze Age Finance to the Jubilee Year," provides a comprehensive overview of debt jubilees and clean slate proclamations throughout ancient history, particularly in the Near East. It explores how these debt cancellations functioned as a means for rulers and communities to restore economic balance, prevent usury and privatization of land, and maintain social stability by liberating debt bondservants and returning self-support land to cultivators. The texts highlight the cyclical nature of debt accumulation and forgiveness, contrasting ancient practices with modern economic orthodoxies that prioritize creditor interests over societal well-being. Ultimately, the source argues that these historical interventions were crucial in preventing economic polarization and ensuring a self-supporting citizenry for thousands of years.
