Revised and Extended Remarks

Let's just address the hall for a moment in an unrevised manner.  All of Donald Trump's cabinet and other post picks are disasters.  You have people on the FCC now that want to get rid of net neutrality so that left wing news sources will be squelched.  This was part of their plan from the beginning.  You have Mr Amnesia himself, Texas governor Rick Perry who can't remember the Dept of Energy when it comes listing off the cabinet departments he would abolish.  (The other two were Commerce and Education)  Of course Perry is the governor of an oil state and we know this isn't a coincidence.  Trump is fulfilling Shawn Hannity's wet dream of an administration dominated by Christians, biggots, and energy fanatics.  He wants to go full throttle for the destruction of our national resources.  Of course what Shawn ignores (among so many things he ignores) is that Saudi Arabia and the Mideast are oil producing dynamos and that we can never control the price of oil when the ratio of production is as lopsided as it is, as anyone who has looked at a production chart realizes.  If they want to raise the price, they will.  If it's in their economic interest to crash the price of oil by flooding the market with their crude, they will.  We can't begin to compete with that.  All of this fantasy energy exploration and development will take time.  The right wing loves to exagurate just how much oil and energy potential the United States has.  As to West Virginia we heard on the news this morning how they turned from a consistent blue state to a consistent red state.  It's all because, if we are to believe these news program reports, every last person in West Virginia is in the coal mining business.  People forget that coal is simply becoming less popular now as other market forces come into play.  These jobs aren't coming back.  Then we hear from former Defense Secretary Gates about how President Obama has withdrawn from the world on a major scale and has 'no longer assumed leadership' as though the Constitution founders invisioned a world where the US would be the military leader of the whole thing, like the 'Empire' that Norman Goldman keeps talking about.  Clearly in too many respects the United States IS an empire, of the sort that was disparaged in our history books in the ninth grade.  We hear the Imperialism word.  We come then to Dr Ben Carson who is against Obama Care and doesn't feel as though he was worthy of being appointed to ANY cabinet department and now he leads Housing and Urban development.  Which brings us to all this talk about infrastructure.  Both Bernie Sanders and Trump wanted to work on Infrastructure building airports, roads and water works.  But only Sanders meant it.  Paul Ryan won't LET Donald Trump follow through with THESE plans of his.  He will be dressed down by Ryan and put in his place and will meekly make a statement that he and Paul Ryan are in full accord on this issue now that he has been pummeled into submission.  This will make Shawn Hannity very happy.  As I have repeatedly said- - Donald Trump has not made a move without having it in full accord with Rush Limbaugh and Shawn Hannity.  We then come to his latest appointment and that is the Ambassador to Israel.  This guy is a right wing extremist of the sort the Christian Right has been drewling over for a long time.  Judy and others have often made remarks about how godly it is to be an unabashed and unqualified supporter of Israel as a means of securing Jehovah's blessing on their lives.  Perhaps the thing that stands out the most here is the notion of abandoning the admittedly fictional "two state solution".  The United States including even President W Bush has embraced this rather thread-bare "Two State solution".  This is the fiction that the occupation of Palestine is somehow a temporary measure- - just like measures in Nazi Germany or the Patriot Act were "temporary measures".  We are told that once things settle down militarily and peace is achieved we'll give the Palestinians their land back, if there is any of it left after all of the new building expansion and development by Israel.  The situation is very akin to the Indian Reservations in this country.  Nobody is calling them a foreign nation.  It's a way of enforcing some sort of racial apartite or segregation or "tagging and isolation of a people" and NOT letting them meld into the mainstream of the population with the full rights of the rest of us.  Jimmy Carter first coined the term "Apartite" to describe this racial situation between Israel and the Palestinians in one of his books.  Somewhere some how there are supposed to be "Emancipated Arabs" for lack of a better phrase, that somehow have full power.  But even here we have racist fear tacticts working just like in this country with the minorities and Blacks.  There is a fear of the "Block vote" of such minorities where if they ever found their oats they could secure democratic control of the country forever.  Such is the state of Israel and such is the state of our country today.  I'd like to once again warn that is you own common stocks you better sell them prior to January 20th because you the markets are making a run up in price in anticipation of this Trump pipe dream of infrastructure developement and "Jobs, jobs, jobs".  It ain't happening.  In virtually every government department Trump has made about the worst choice he could conceivably make.

In case you are wondering about below- - there was talk of using the single versions of "Get Back" and "Don't Let Me Down" with the rationalization that "We're going for hit singles here and not deep album tracks".   Actually we did switch the version of "Don't Let Me Down" we've had since 2013.   There are three tracks containing KMET bootleg songs, "Teddy Boy", "I Got a Feeling" and "Don't Let Me Down".  And of course "Get Back" was originally on this same KMET tape- in an unembelished form.
