The late Leonard Cohen tried to tell us in a song.
In his last days he said: “You’re not going to like what comes after America.”

I know AI and techies are working on the government putting that “meter on your bed.”


Everybody Knows (1988 song)

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long-stem rose
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it’s moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past

Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there’s gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you’re in trouble
Everybody knows what you’ve been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu

Everybody knows it’s coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows

Oligarchies of small elite groups rule w/ no accountability,
<><>impaired Biden creates the perfect shield
<><>the unspecified sets of elites make decisions in the shadows,
<><>then the shambling zombie of a president is wheeled onto the stage
<><>then reads “his policies” off a teleprompter.

It has been clear years that Biden isn’t running the show.
Americans are completely unaware of who, in fact, is responsible
<><>for disastrous inflation,
<><>criminals and rapists invited into our open borders,
<><>endless foreign wars
<><>which is exactly how the ruling class likes it.
