America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Epilogue

Sat, 06 Jan 2024 12:00:29 GMT

The title of this episode is "Epilogue: No More Questions, Please." It might not be known in poetic decorum in an epic poem for the poet to dismiss the muses at the end of the work because the deus ex machina usually completes the task; however, it seems to be a new poetic device to have the antonymous action of dismissing the muses after there is no longer a need for invocating their assistance. It might be a curious clue to anyone interested in attempting to write poetry that predicts future events. One must invocate the muses for assistance with the intent to write poetry that predicts the future. Of course, the poet must be worthy of their gifts.While there has been a Part Three in draft stages for more than a year now, it is not known if that project will be completed and presented the same as the first two parts.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 24

Sat, 06 Jan 2024 11:00:30 GMT

The title of this episode is "Leave No Man Behind." It is the final battle scene of the mock epic poem. If someone had known how to do what Priest does for Raymond when Ashli Babbit was dying, she would have lived. Instead, the entire circumstance was a tragedy, but that is the calling of the muses Melpomene and Calliope. Although it does seem that Thalia had her influences on occasion, the entire tone of the poem is tragic. At the end of an epic poem, there is a poetic device called deus ex machina, which translated means machinery of the gods. The helicopter is just that in this case. Of course, this is the end, of the story. There is actually a Part Three for this series, but I might not finish it if there is no popularity for this one. This episode will be released simultaneously with the Epilogue on January 6, 2024 to commemorate the event. I would dedicate this poetic work to Ashli Babbitt, but I already dedicated it to my parents, who were the first to read these poems on December 20, 2020. They thought I was crazy until after 6 January 2021, a few weeks later.Music credits: Burlesque Heart by RKVC, and Almonds and Olives by Aaron Lieberman.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 23

Sat, 30 Dec 2023 11:00:20 GMT

The title of this episode is "This is Not The End." It is a bit of comic relief to insult the audience, but all of what a mock epic is has to do with being insulting. There is one major prediction that appears in this poem. The fact that only one bullet was fired during the insurrection is amazing in itself, but it is even more amazing that only one person was shot in the chest. Ashli Babbit died from a punctured lung. Her chest cavity filled with blood, and her lungs collapsed. She suffocated while everyone watched her not knowing what to do. If someone had the knowledge of how to do a pneumothorax, she could have lived. There were several people in photos walking around with combat lifesaver kits, but none of them were around to save Ashli's life. Sometimes, the prediction rings true, but it is a contradiction. Of course, it is not the end of the story. Musical Talents: Airline by Geographer and Ducky Funk by Quincas Moreira.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 22

Sat, 23 Dec 2023 11:00:26 GMT

The title of this episode is "Persecution of the Innocent." This poem is a prediction of several things that have already happened. The first is that many people who were actually innocent of any crimes were persecuted and prosecuted after the insurrection for just being in the area. It is also true that Mark Zuckerberg has been persecuted for what Facebook has been doing to people. Zuckerberg has also tried to shut down Facebook by replacing it with Meta, but that is a failure. He should have taken my advice and "took the money and run." Finally, I was really pissed off when I went to buy some toilet paper during covid-19 and that damn Facebook rumored there would be a shortage. I had to wipe my ass with newspaper for a few days. When toilet paper did become available on the shelves, I had to fight with a fat, black woman for one package of it! She already had two packages in her cart when I reached up to get one off the shelf, and she grabbed it as I was reaching for it. It was insanity courtesy of Facebook. Facebook is complete garbage, and nobody will miss it when it is finally gone.Musical talents: Everything Where it Needs to Be by Nat Keefe & Hot Buttered Rum.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 21

Sat, 16 Dec 2023 11:00:19 GMT

The title of this episode is "The Sky is Falling, Buruvestnik." The one change from the original poem is the addition of the Russian word Buruvestnik, which actually translates as Sky Fall. It is the name of the doomsday weapon system that Russia has promised to use as a retaliatory strike weapon after all missiles have been launched in an attack on Russia. In other words, nobody will win global thermonuclear war because Sky Fall is a cruise missile drone that circumnavigates the globe in a super-atmospheric flight path releasing its nuclear payload as directly targeted rockets. There is no arching flight path for the missiles of Sky Fall. They cannot be intercepted, and there is not likely to be any defense system remaining to defend against them when it is launched. Buruvestnik is the end of all life on the planet. There are other predictions in this poem, but listeners will enjoy the suspense much more if they attempt to identify them all without my help. It will not be long before these predictions happen. Musical talent credits: A valley Blast by Freedom Trail Studios, Impertinence by Joel Cummins, and Lotus Pond by Hanu Dixit.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 20

Sat, 09 Dec 2023 11:00:20 GMT

The title of this episode is "There Is Something You Should Know." It is true that a great many people do not know that the New Testament book of Revelations foretells Covid-19 with great specificity. As stated previously for another episode, there are predictions in this poem that have not yet happened, but they will very soon, especially because of Joe Biden's blundering foreign policies in the wake of war in Israel. The third plague will be called The White Death. Muscial credits: Easy Stroll by Track Tribe, and Bleeker Street Blues by Chris Haugen.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 19

Sat, 02 Dec 2023 11:00:20 GMT

The title of this episode is "Party Crashers." The key prediction within this poem is that there would be an attempt to change the constitution to take away the states' rights to manage elections. While it has not happened yet, it is something that should happen because the management of an election for the executive branch is not equitably conducted throughout the nation. This disparity in forms, functions, and actions among the states creates a fallacy that has become the source of corruption in Democracy. Other prediction characteristics are the violence that ensues at the capital insurrection as well as the fact that someone dropped homemade pipe bombs all over the capitol grounds. Fortunately, they were all faked or duds. Finally, the sloppiness of the security forces at the halls of congress was the worst of all incompetencies occurring at that event.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 18

Sat, 25 Nov 2023 11:00:20 GMT

The title of this episode is "The Enemy is Within." Its main purpose is to present the theoretical explanation of how we are not able to know what a poem is predicting until after the event has happened. We can say that it predicts something or other, but we only know for sure after it happens. The concept is termed here as The Paradox in Prediction. The point being that knowing what is going to happen will make it possible to prevent that event from happening thus causing a paradox and the prediction would never have occurred. It's complicated, but think about time travel as a comparison. The one amazing prediction occurring in this episode is that the team crosses the Potomac River. Prior to the January 6, there was an attempt foiled by authorities to bring weapons across the river in a small boat. Other predictions appearing in this episode have not yet occurred, so I cannot tell you about them until after they have happened. If I told you, then you would know. If you know, then you will try to prevent it from happening. If you prevent it from happening, then it will not have ever been in the poem as a prediction.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 17

Sat, 18 Nov 2023 11:00:17 GMT

The title of this episode is "Weapons of Modern Warfare," and it is a prediction of how Americans will come to know more about the weapons of modern warfare from Biden's involving the United States in a conflict between Ukraine and Russia. While the truth is that the United States should not be involved in supporting the fascist government of Ukraine led by ne0-Nazis descended from the Third Reich during the German occupation of Ukraine, nobody will really listen to the truth of it. Another prediction is the reference to the Proud Boys, and the author did not even know they existed until the aftermath of the capital insurrection. Finally, the prediction of how the Democrats have attempted to change the second amendment appears in this poem, and the prediction of how any success at this will result in a civil war unlike US history has ever known. I make that a solemn promise. Americans will commit to civil war if there is a denial of their second amendment rights. Don't even try it.Musical talents: Claim of Thrones by RKVC, Outta Time by RKVC, and Chase by The Brothers Records.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 16

Sat, 11 Nov 2023 10:33:30 GMT

The title of this episode is "Competitors and Adversaries." There are two predictions in this poem, but neither one has occurred in its entirety. While there is a preponderance of evidence against Joe Biden to bring a case against him for treason, nothing has happened to move this forward, and nothing is likely to happen to successfully impeach him according to law. This is also part of the point being made in this poem that laws in America for politicians are not enforced equally, and that politicians are crooks and criminals who only enforce laws when it suits them. Read Public Law 99-433, section 603, then research how often this law has not been enforced. It will be surprising to find out that Barack Obama violated this law six times during his tenure, and Donald Trum violated it three times. Joe Biden violated it within the first year of his presidency. It is a high crime and misdemeanor that is an impeachable offense, just as predicted.The other prediction refers to "red missiles roar," which is a prediction of how Joe Biden's assistance to Ukraine has been a complete failure and that there would be this conflict while Biden is president. Most Americans do not even know about DIME, but it is a weapon system used by politicians against the citizens of the United States on a regular basis when it is for international deployment only.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 15

Sat, 04 Nov 2023 10:00:17 GMT

This episode is titled "House on the Hill" and it is one of a series of predictions about the violence to occur on January 6, 2021. Some of the details in this episode are very foretelling of what actually happened. None of this poem has been altered from the original other than line breaks and punctuation as needed for timing in the reading. The prediction appearing in this episode foretells a change in the ruling of Roe vs Wade, which occurred because of democrat pressure and ultimately made Democrats murderers. Many Democrats pleaded to women in Republican states telling them that they could come to their states to kill their unborn babies, which is just another example of horrid, bloodlust typical of Democrats. The story does get a bit bloodier as it continues in future episodes.Musical talent provided by the following:Cutting it Close by DJ Freedom, and Conflict and Catharsis by Asher Fulero.

America Is Lost Part Two: Ramond's Revenge, Episode 14

Sat, 28 Oct 2023 10:00:28 GMT

Episode 14 was not my first attempt to try singing the poetry to the music, but it seems to have worked best in this case. The listener should be aware that this poem was written between November 2020 and December 1, 2020. What actually happened on January 6 appears in this poem in many ways. The invocation of the muses occurs in this episode unlike part one where all of the three initial components of epic poetry decorum appear in the first episode. The episode begins with a brief pause in the action to enable the poet's invocation, and a return to the action has no delay.

The content of this poem has had only two changes from the original. "Our hero addresses his squad of six," originally said "seven," but that was a mathematical error on my part because Raymond is one and his squad has six members. Thus, the prediction of January 6, 2021 (one and six) repeats in the poem several times in various combinations. The other change from the original was "Kill 'em all without remorse." Originally, it said "stick to the rules of engagement." That line did not make any sense when reading it in connection with the rest of the poem, so it was quickly changed to be more congruent with the tone. Timing with the music was difficult on this one, and it took a lot of rehearsal to get it just right.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 13

Sat, 21 Oct 2023 11:18:34 GMT

The first episode of part two begins with a lot of similarity to part one. The listener must keep in mind that the art of writing epic poetry follows a specific formula with presentation of the tale's scope, a hailing of the gods or goddess, and invocation of the muses. If there was any confusion about why these things appear in part one, the explanation is simple. Epic poetry in classical, Greek literary style begins with these three components. Of course, this is a mock epic, so the inclusion of these characteristic components of classical epic poetry is for the purpose of mimicking the real thing while being a mockery of its topic: Joe Biden and his presidency.It might just be that the invocation of the Goddess and the muses actually did invoke them because these poems predicted future events that could only have come to the mind and imagination of the poet by the assistance of a supernatural entity. Get ready for a roller coaster ride because this series is pretty gory with lots of blood and violence. This is not a children's story.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge, Prologue

Sat, 21 Oct 2023 10:00:26 GMT

This is the prologue for Part Two of America Is Lost: Raymond's Revenge. Listeners will be surprised that the poet has changed the style in this part with a more consistent rhyme scheme as a twist to the naturalistic poetic style. Rhyme schemes are so burdensome for a poet, and often the poetry becomes forced to adhere to the scheme. In this case, the poet will use rhyme scheme as long as the rhyme is meaningful. This off and on application of rhyme scheme is a new application of the naturalistic style because the poet has the choice to abandon rhyme at any point in the poem while also employing other poetic characteristics such as metaphor, simile, hyperbole, alliteration, consonance, and assonance among others. It might not be apparent to the listener that there are other more physical characteristics of poetry such as acrostics and meter because these may only be seen in the written text. In any case, the story is a continuation of the original prediction of Joe Biden's failure as president of the United States which actually began as a Democrat party failure for their support of the man who is the beast predicted in the New Testament. January 6, 2021 is also a day that the entire nation will never forget as that one day in history when Democracy died on the steps of congress along with Ashli Babbit who was shot in the chest. She could have survived if someone had known how to do a pneumothorax to restore her breathing from a lung puncture. Ashli Babbit died from suffocation when her lungs collapsed after filling with blood from a gunshot wound. Nobody knows who fired that shot, and nobody ever will.

America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge, Trailer

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 16:32:24 GMT

This is a trailer announcing the release of America Is Lost Part Two: "Raymond's Revenge." Part One was originally created in 1984, but part two did not have its birth until November 2020 and the first draft was completed on 1 December 2020. A little more than a month later on 6 January 2021, the capital insurrection took place, but it was all predicted in the poem "Raymond's Revenge" one month earlier. Why did this happen? Why is this poet able to predict future events in poetry? Maybe the question is why did Nostradamus write poetry that predicted future events? The answer might be very surprising. In any case, this second season will run concurrently with the first season because it will be a separate podcast series. Listeners who prefer classical rhyme may enjoy the poetry in Part Two much more than the free verse poetry in Part One. While Part One has the intent of being comedy, the action in Part Two is much more intense because it is a tragedy. If you are a Facebook-X-twit, then you will not like what this poetry says about you, but it is the truth, like it or not.

As always, I will be providing musical credits for the episodes, but all the music used in my shows is copyright and royalty free coming from You Tube's content creator support files. Thanks to DJ Williams for the instrumental theme, "69 Bronco," used in this announcement podcast.
