Henry Peterson pt.2

My guest is Henry Peterson. (pt.2 of 2)
- About Henry:
Henry is a lifelong jazz pianist and an amateur author. He wrote a music blog for a while about his experiences being a working musician in and around Syracuse New York's music scene.
While talking with his friend one day about his experiences with his girlfriend Naomi, who was struggling with drug addiction, and telling the resulting seedy environments and outrageous incidents that go with that, his friend suggested he was writing the wrong book.
That suggestion was the trigger that motivated Henry to start writing about it.
His writing offers a unique perspective from the viewpoint of an enabler to a drug addict, as opposed to the drug addict themselves.
It chronicles his journey with his girlfriend from first meeting, to acquiring feelings, to the realization that she was a drug addict, and the personal turmoil one struggles with when walking the thin line between helping and enabling.
He found writing about his experiences and expressing his feelings on paper was not only therapeutic, but also helped him put the situation in the proper perspective.
You can read his writing for free at the link below.

Educational - How Five Companies Control All US Media

It is vital to understand this blatant fact. At all times, but especially now with the current events surrounding Covid-19. Fear is the number 1 mechanism used to control people and get them to submit to restrictions and authoritarian measures, in the name of safety and security, that they would not consent to under normal circumstances.
It's important to know that this isn't just media. EVERY major industry is like this. Owned and controlled by a handful of individuals.
A couple corrections: Dreamworks is owned by Comcast, and Disney now owns the majority of Hulu. Like is mentioned in the audio, properties change hands all the time and it's difficult to keep up, but the trades/mergers/acquisitions are always between those five giant mega-corporations.

Educational - Change The Tune (politics are a sham)

Anyone who is a critical thinker and aware of the reality of politricks and how it really functions and who they really work for, know that the entire political arena is a total sham and a fallacy.
This isn't educational in that sense, but in light of the upcoming facade and the circus leading up to it, I figured we'd have some fun with this one.

Change The Tune
by Green Party of England and Wales
LYRICS:
Have you ever wondered why I sound just like my deputy?
Does he seem like he's redundant, or do I?
Step into the booth
Look down and face the truth
A vote for me’s the same as a vote for any of us guys.
It’s sweeter when we all agree
A party political harmony
Lose your voting inhibitions
Join the one true Coalition
He’ll fire all your docs and nurses
He'll clamp down on public service
He sold the railways to companies
And we all agree on tuition fees
Let’s sell off the parts of this broken nation
Let's shut the door on immigration
And if a few companies don’t pay tax
Let's not grumble what’s the harm in that?
(There’s no harm, baby!)
Austerity!
Austerity!
Austerity!
Austerity!
Let's get rid of foreigners!
(What he means is-)
Let's frack this green and pleasant land!
Come on Eddie, join the band!
The public won’t know what to do
If they have to pick from me and you
The choice between us couldn’t be clearer:
Oxford! Cambridge! Diversity for ya
Whether it’s Trident or High Speed 2,
The lesser of four evils is up to you
It’s sweeter when we all agree
A party political harmony
Make the tactical decision
Join the one true Coalition
It’s sweeter when we all agree
A party political harmony
Make the tactical decision
Join the one true Coalition
Co-a-li-tion....
