The Revolution Will Not Be Televised – But It Might Be Censored

Sure, the cultural references are dated but this work of not so subtle sarcasm by Gil Scott-Heron could very easily be adapted to current world affairs and be used as a soundtrack to the Great Reset and Apocalypse. It’s not just about whether black lives matter or not, or toxic white yellow man Nazi Jew lover bad or that colonialism has brought about catastophic climate change or that using whole body deodorants are better for the environment because water is precious and to be rationed. The television has by and large been replaced by cell phones except where broadcasters have become wholly own subsidiaries of corporatism and the advent of Public/Private Partnerships. Viewing habits, A I click bait, post secondary indoctrination, willful blindness and apathy drive this ‘revolution’ and jerking stumble to oblivion. Sit back with your microwave popcorn and pizza and sugary softdrinks or beer and enjoy the mostly peaceful protests or environmental catastrophes that play out on your news source….unless of course you only watch distractive reality t.v. good life material. ‘Skip The Dishes!’ Order in McDonalds.

What to do. Live your best life. Become the best version of yourself for others. Something big is coming. It’s happening now. The Poly Crises are converging. The funny clouds are are roiling. The Aurora Borealis is on crack. The sky is falling. This is progress? The veil is lifting. Dare to peek.

“The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” – Gil Scott-Heron

You will not be able to stay home, brother
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and
Skip out for beer during commercials
Because the revolution will not be televised

The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
Blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
Hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary

The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
Wood and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs
The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner
Because the revolution will not be televised, Brother

There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mays
Pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run
Or trying to slide that color TV into a stolen ambulance
NBC will not be able to predict the winner at 8:32
On reports from 29 districts
The revolution will not be televised

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
Brothers on the instant replay
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
Brothers on the instant replay
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
Run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkins strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he has been saving
For just the proper occasion

Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
Women will not care if Dick finally got down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
Will be in the street looking for a brighter day
The revolution will not be televised

There will be no highlights on the eleven o’clock
News and no pictures of hairy armed women
Liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb or
Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash, Engelbert Humperdinck, or The Rare Earth
The revolution will not be televised

The revolution will not be right back
After a message about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
Bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl
The revolution will not go better with Coke
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath
The revolution will put you in the driver’s seat

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised
Will not be televised, will not be televised
The revolution will be no re-run brothers
The revolution will be live

How do you get your information? Can you put your gadget down for a while, to cut the endless cycle of divisive noise or distraction? I struggle with this. Doom porn news is addictive. ‘From the river to the sea’, who has the ultimate right to slaughter the other? Even in good old friendly Canada there are government supported protests shouting for, the “Death To Canada!” and “Death To Canadians!” Can it be that there are documented Canadians who cry for their own demise? Canada is number one worldwide in euthanasia. MAiD is a howling Liberal success. Who are the chosen people? Who or what will help you decide? A manufactured media influencer pop star whore of any dysphoric gender? Will Taylor Swift’s endorcement of Kamala Harris be enough to swing you to vote for cultural suicide, demographic replacement and an enhanced kinetic war in The Crimea and the middle east?

Of course, a few well placed EMPs would cut the NPCs off from their feeds. Would they resort to cannibalism? What could go wrong? Human meat is already turning up in fast food.

If you don’t read the the newspaper (or watch the mainstream media), you’re uninformed. If you do, you run the risk of being misinformed. – Denzel Washington?
