The Daily Scream - Love thy neighbor, hell, film thy neighbor & go viral

  • Written by Will Roberts


U.S.A. 10 July 2015. I am Will Roberts, and this is the Daily Scream! ahhh, Here we go!

Today I am going to start off with a question: Do you know your neighbors? Do you know their names? Do you know anything about them? Because in the old days, which is not too long ago, so you don’t think I am 70 or something like that. Not too long ago, you knew the folks on your block, in your community, that’s why they call it a community. Now fast forward to today and I am browsing on Facebook, you know, one of the many social media communities that single handedly has killed the art of communication and real community. So I am scrolling mindlessly through it for, the second time, and I see a post about a “Friend”, I’m air quoting, who talks about Situational Awareness. He proceeds to explain how he was watching outside his window, only to see a woman who is finishing her run and slows to a walk while on her phone. Then he describes the coyote rapidly gain speed on her, but ultimately passing her. Two things worth mentioning, one: Ok, I agree we are so locked and socked into our technology that talking to folks these days, can be like a deer in the headlights. Two: What the heck! you were watching this woman instead of possible saving her life. 

This maybe the reason we don’t have communities and instead we have friends, followers and likes. We now have a society of rubber neckers. We watch and report it back to social media. I'm convinced that the only way folks get to know their neighbors, these days, is if they have a house fire. Then you’ll have all your neighbors over, phones in hand, and film at 11!

Dr. Robert Owens’ Newest Book 

 

While neither the first nor the last Hippie, Backstreet was in many ways the quintessential Hippie.  Today the Hippie experience has been glamorized and sanitized by the dreaming of the young and the gleaning of the old. 

Backstreet's experiences covered the whole range of experimentation and rebellion that the Hippies came to symbolize.  From the "Summer of Love" in People's Park and Haight Ashbury, (he helped bury the Hippie in San Francisco) through Drop City, Colorado to the Armadillo in Austin, Texas Backstreet was there. 

More than the Lost Generation of the post-World War I era or the Beat Generation of the 1950's the Hippie Generation represents the ultimate in missed opportunities, lost dreams, and eventually counterproductive goals.

Make America Great Again - AGAIN!

This book is filled with some of the positive accomplishments of President Trump’s first Administration.  Most of this has never been covered by the echo-chamber megaphone pretending to be an objective media.  Some of it has been covered as if through a carnival mirror, distorted and reshaped to fit the negative agenda of the Left. 

Though the media elites, the perpetually re-elected, and the bureaucrats of the deep state are united in their determination to defeat Donald Trump they’ve forgotten one thing … most Americans still believe in America.  And though they’ve used the Plandemic to shut down our economy and their shock troops are burning down our cities they’ll not be able to terrorize us into staying home on election day. 

And when the dust settles,  

four more years may give us enough breathing space to: 

Make America Great Again – Again!
