    <description><![CDATA[<p>Michael Inacloud wrote the manuscript of Part One of what has become <em>America Is Lost </em>in 1984. He knew there was something special about the story, but he had no idea it was going to be a psychic parody that predicted Joe Biden's political career and eventual succession to the presidency.</p><p>The first part of this two-part Mock Epic poem is all about the character Pscychelapse who is a pirate on a quest to invade the "Chateau du Congress" and steal all the loot, much like Joe Biden actually is doing today. Listeners might be a little confused by many of the details in the poem because much of it will be based on events, ideas, and information from the 1980s. There is a parrot in the story, but the <em>parrot</em> symbolizes <em>parody</em>.</p><p>Remarkably, the poetry fits very well with a lot of modern music. The author's goal is to keep to the original poetic text, but some changes will occur. Remember, this poem was originally written in 1984, and it was 80 pages long in manuscript form typed on a Smith Corona Correct Memory II that was later sold in a rummage sale. Go figure.</p><p>Some of my fans have asked me to include music credits for reference. While all of the music used in the production of this podcasted poetry reading series is completely copyright and royalty free, I understand that listeners like to know who the artists are for these tunes. I will add a sequential list to the episode write ups, and possibly the You Tube videos.</p>]]></description>

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[America Is Lost Epilogue:  These Questions Remain]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Happy Thanksgiving everyone!</p><p>This last poem from the original manuscript written in 1984 is unchanged from its original. The point of it was to proclaim that the style and concept introduced in this mock epic is "new poetic device." For listeners of Antediluvian Revelations, it is no mystery that the author created a new poetic style called "naturalistic" which does not adhere to any particular poetry format. What happens in the poem is completely natural. Alliteration, rhyme, meter, and other poetry stylistic components are employed in this avant-garde approach to creating a new poetry style.</p><p>This project began in 1984 at Oklahoma State University, but it was never made public until now. Like any new formula, the early form of this poetry was very unstable. As the poet continued on in life and became more stable, the style stabilized also. The 2020 edition was a big improvement over that early draft, but it still needed more work. The follow-on poem to this series created in November 2020 is a much more refined application of the naturalistic style, and there will likely be some edits in the process of producing it as a podcast reading.</p><p>Part Two of <em>America Is Lost</em> titled "Raymond's Revenge" has also been a prediction of future events. This next part was completed 1 December 2020, and it predicted the January 6, 2021, Capital Insurrection event with great detail and specificity. There are still more events predicted in this second part that have not yet happened.  The release sequence of this second part is likely to be much more rapid as the possible end of humanity is also likely to occur in rapid fashion with Biden and Blinken being total morons, and all the leaders in the rest of the world will become completely tired of their stupidity.  America will be completely annihilated in global thermonuclear war because Biden is the beast foretold in the book of Revelations.  He worships Satan because Satan was the son of God, an angel who came to Earth to make mankind worship him as God.  Catholicism is the religion of the beast, and it is the worship of Satan because the Pope of the Roman Catholic church is the antichrist who proclaims acceptance of idolatry and sexual immorality instead of repentance.  Are you ready for the rapture?</p><p>Musical Talent Credits: The Beacon by Zachariah Hickman.</p>]]></description>

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[America Is Lost Episode Twelve: Merkabah! (WWIII)]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The 1984 manuscript has this epsiode as its final, enumerated book. There is only an epilogue remaining in part one, and it was not counted in the number of books. The prologue was also not numbered. The original poem does contain the lines, "tombstones of Astroturf, /stars fallen to the ground." It has been found in the Book of Enoch that he describes one event in his vision of the apocalypse as being a series of "stars of heaven" that fall to the Earth. The added lines in this podcast version of the poem clarifies the meaning of that prophecy and the premonition about the apocalyptic event appearing in the original, 1984 manuscript of "The Quest of Psychelapse."</p><p>Merkabah is also known as a war in heaven, and a nuclear war will be a war in the heavens until the nukes stop falling. Sky Fall will take flight after all anti-missile systems have become exhausted. <em>Buruvestnik</em> is the name of the weapon system Russia created, as a retaliatory strike weapon, a cruise missile system that is set to automatically launch and fly the circumference of the planet while launching multiple nuclear missiles that are guided to specific targets all over the world. These short-range nuclear missiles cannot be intercepted because their flight paths are not arching like other ballistic missile systems, and there will not be any anti-missile systems remaining to defend against them. Russia has made it abundantly clear that nobody will win global nuclear war because Sky Fall will kill everyone all over the planet in retaliation for the use of nuclear weapons against their sovereign territory or against any of their allies.</p><p>Joe Biden will cause the total annihilation of all life on the planet if he and Anthony Blinken follow through with any threats to use nuclear weapons as a first strike against Russia when Ukraine and its Nazi government fall to Russian military forces in the very near future. America is lost. Get ready for the apocalypse or a whimper.</p><p>Musical Talent Credits: Desert Planet by Quinceras Moreira.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>The original manuscript from 1984 had this segment as two separate books. The 2020 revision seems to have erroneously left out the last page of what was the eleventh book in the poem. This podcast reading adds that page back into the story because it has some importantly dramatic lines in it. There has not been any additional lines added into the poem from the original. What happens in this episode was in the original poem, and this event is a prediction of Joe Biden's use of White Supremacy (symbolized as the White Swan) as a weapon against his opponent Donald Trump. It may have been the one, most powerful weapon he had in his arsenal to defeat his opponent, but listeners will also find that the opponent is not dead yet. A twist in the plot occurs at the end of this episode, but the outcome of all of this is still disastrous with the final episode revealing the true fate of all of mankind because America Is Lost.</p><p>Musical Talent Credits: Riding into the Sun by Telecasted, Interstellar Mood by Nico Staf, Black Mass by Brian Bolger, World Sunrise by Jimena Contreras, Blue Mood by Robert Munzinger.</p>]]></description>

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[America Is Lost Episode Ten:  The Chateau Du Congress]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The title of this episode is the same as the original 1984 manuscript with the exception that there is an exclamation point added to the end of the title in the original document. The majority of this episode is the same as the original, but some edits were made at the end to add a little more timing with the selected music track and to clarify what exactly the prediction turned out to be in this episode. </p><p>Originally, the poem states that everyone gets vaccinated for T.V. The author did not know about the invention of You Tube, Spotify, or iTunes because they did not exist in 1984, but the references to how people in our current time are suffering from an overload of all this communication technology, the prediction is pretty obvious. Changing to say that we are all going to get vaccinated for Covid-19 is a clear reference to how Joe Biden (Psychelapse) has been trying to force all Americans to get vaccinated in violation of their constitutionally guaranteed rights under the 14th amendment. Thanks to the Supreme Court, he failed the first time. He will go through congress just as the poem predicts to force all Americans to get vaccinated by making it a law. Get ready to accept the mark of the beast because that is how Biden is going to do it.  He is going to make it a law, and nobody can legally refuse to get vaccinated.  People will be required to carry a card in hand with their picture on it that proves they were vaccinated just to be able to get groceries, get a job, or even get medical attention.</p><p>Music Talent Credits: Culture by Anno Domini Beats, Billy Goat Stomp by Joel Cummins, Spy vs Spy by DJ Williams, Savior by Telecasted, Snake on the Beach by Nico Staf</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>This episode is mostly unaltered from the original 1984 manuscript. The original title for this segment was "The Treasure Map or Loss of Laughs." Shortened to just the second part of the original title, the title is a bit of a spoiler. There were a couple of added lines to the text of this segment, and they were intended to give the reader a sense of how the characters in the story were truly lost. Instead of finding their way to the Chateau Du Congress, the descriptions added indicate they have accidentally gone somewhere else. It might have been an accident that Joe Biden became the president, but nobody will ever know for sure. The one thing that does seem to be evident is that Joe Biden is an accident waiting to happen.</p><p>Musical Talent Credits: Kiss the Heavens by Asher Fulero, Would it Kill You by Mini Vandals, Disco Knights by Quinceras Moreira, Caballero by Ofshane</p>]]></description>

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[America Is Lost Episode Eight:  The Swamp]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This episode is probably one of the best evidences of how this entire poetry series has been a prophecy. While some people may wish to think of it all as psychic premonitions, it is very much evidence of how the author's attempt to write this poem as a prediction of future events was actually just that. It was not known to the author that Joe Biden took his first political position at the age of 30, and it was never in his mind that this poem would be about Joe Biden. The character, Pyschelapse, is revealed to be 30 years old in this episode, and his character is very much the same as Biden's. Other reveals are the reference to Washington, D.C. as a swamp. Nobody thought of it as a swamp until Donald Trump called it that during his presidential campaign. In truth, Washington, D.C. was a swamp before it was built up into the nation's capital. The author did not know that the land chosen for the nation's capital was originally a swampy area between two rivers that emptied into the Atlantic Ocean, and the original title of this segment was "Swamp Thing." The entire political circumstance in the United States has become a swamp thing with corrupted politicians and a dire future for the entire world on the brink of global thermonuclear war. Psychelapse (Biden) thinks he can do anything because he was able to defeat the swamp monster (Trump), but there is still more ahead in this mock epic tale.</p><p>Musical Talents credits: Music Box by Brian Bolger, High Noon by TrackTribe, The Movement of India by Aakash Gandhi</p>]]></description>

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[America Is Lost Episode Seven, Jamboree]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The original title of this segment is Jamboree. The 2020 edited version retitled this poem as "A Lamentation Song," but that title does not really fit the thematic idea of the material. Admittedly, the original poem sucked, so a lot of adjustments were made to this version of the text. There is nothing specific about this poem that might have indicated some prediction like the other parts; however, there is clearly a tone in this poem that smacks of some events relating to murders, suicides, environmental damages, and food shortages all over the world. It was not as bad in 1984 as it is today, so that is probably the prediction hidden in the original poem. It was very difficult to match a good beat to this one, and it took me 20 plus rehearsals to finally get the feel for it. I still think it could be a little better, but this one was a hard one.</p><p>The work I did to produce this episode inspired me to create the documentary about the making of this series to demonstrate how complex it actually is to create a poetry reading to music.</p><p>Thanks to the musical talents of the following: Go Baroque by Freedom Trail Studios, and Warzone by Anno Domini Beats.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>The title for this episode is the same as it appears in the 1984 manuscript. There is only one item in this episode that may be significantly prophetic. The reference to "the gates" may be a prediction of the naming of an art gallery and biblical museum that was not built until 2016-2017. Currently supported as one of the exclusively represented artists by Polyet Loshad Publishing, Mary L. Haley is a relative of the poet and named her art gallery "The Gates." She never knew that this poetry existed, and she only read the text in November 2020 after the presidential election was over. The other significance to the poetry in this episode may only be determined by reading the text because some of the art in poetry is only visualized in the text.</p><p>The release of this episode was originally intended for 31 October 2023 to coincide with Halloween because this episode is rather spooky. However, advancing the release dates has become important as a result of current events which could limit the availability of the series due to the apocalypse, which could occur at any moment because of Joe Biden's blundering foreign policies. Now, that is spooky. In any case, it seemed more important for "the show to go on" as the old adage says.</p><p>Special Thanks to the musical artists: Dragon Rojo by the Mini Vandals, Lonely Day by Telecasted.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In the 1984 manuscript, the title for this episode is the same, but it was originally book IV. Using roman numerals has been a curious example of a premonition of sorts. Writing the <em>Antediluvian Revelations </em>poem without Roman numerals was more sensible than using them the same as they were in the early English translation of the <em>Book of Enoch</em>. The same is true of this poem, and the author began numbering them with cardinal numbers when revising the book in November 2020 before ever reading <em>The Book of Enoch</em>.</p><p>The only thing added to this recorded version is the line: "Not in this poem." Otherwise, the poetry in this episode is the same as the original manuscript. It will be obvious when hearing quotes from Ronald Reagan. The lines about Larry Flynt might seem to be spoken in error, but he had a stroke some years after the author wrote the poem. The stroke made it difficult for Larry Flynt to speak clearly, and he spoke with a strange gurgle or slur. Curiously, the poem was written long before that occurred in his lifetime. The lines are just more of many examples of how this poem was prophetic, but the predictions are very unusual.</p><p>Special Thanks to the musical artists: Spirit Riders by Telecasted, Birdseye Blues by Chris Haugen, Big River by Telecasted, Dreams of River Ganga by Hanu Dixit.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>The title of this episode is the same as it appears in the original 1984 manuscript. Added in this podcast version are the words <em>sexual, Ukraine, freedom, and trump-et. </em>The added words are intended to emphasize the prophetic nature of the poet's vision as he initially wrote the manuscript without complete knowledge of what he was predicting in that 40-year-old poem. The mock epic poem was initially drafted with the intent to be a prediction of some future event, but the poet did not know what that was until 40 years later.</p><p>This episode introduces a new character who joins the quest, but it may actually just be one of Psychelapse's alternate personalities because he is a schizophrenic the same as Joe Biden. In any case, the prediction of how Biden joins up with criminals in his political career beginning with his use of the AFL/CIO to win his electoral campaigns is also followed by their eventual breakup.</p><p>Special Thanks to the following musical artists: Lotus Pond by Aakash Ghandi, Mourning Dove by Zachariah Hickman, The Charmer's Call by Hanu Dixit, Savior Search by DJ Freedom, Contrast by Anno Domini Beats, Lost Lounge by TrackTribe</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>This third episode was originally the second book in the 1984 manuscript. This episode introduces a new character to the story. There is a mystery about this character because the original manuscript has this character as a male. Throughout the original manuscript of the poem, all of the descriptions of this character clearly indicate that this persona is a female. It was not until Biden's 2020 election victory that the author realized this character was not male as he had thought, so he gave the character a sex change. Giving a fictional character a sex change in the text of a poem takes a lot of effort, but it does seem that the operation was a success. This poem might just be the first ever in history that has a transexual character, or at least a cross dressing one.</p><p>Special thanks to the musical artists: In Eternity We Meet by Aakash Ghandi, Dramatic Theme by Freedom Trail, Pouring Out by Asher Fulero</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>The original 1984 manuscript did not have this separation as it appears here in the podcast version from the updated text written in November 2020. There is a significant psychic prediction in this part. It is curious that the pirate is a "masked marauder" who must "remove his mask to eat." Everyone everywhere in the United States needed to remove their masks to eat during the pandemic. Stanley Fish may not be alive any longer, but he was a well-known literary scholar who theorized about the meaning of poetry being what the reader thinks it to mean, and not what the poet intended. This concept was known as "Reader Response Theory." Poetry becomes the art of the reader and not the poet. He was wrong, and it has been the author's intent to prove it in this segment of the poem.</p><p>My thanks to the musical artists listed here sequentially: Thunder-Telecasted, Desert Howling Wind- sound effect, Put It - TrackTribe, Fine Dining- TrackTribe, Rains of Meghalaya- Hanu Dixit.</p>]]></description>

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[America Is Lost Episode One: Intrapsyche]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The first episode in the poem is called "Intrapsyche." It was initially spelled as a hyphenated word, but it is the original title of that segment. In the 1984 manuscript, the twelve poems that made up the mock epic poem that is now Part One were called Books. A revision in November 2020 resulted in changing them to be <em>episodes. </em>This event is actually the second foretelling event. There was never a plan to convert the poem into a podcast series as episodes but renaming them in 2020 seems curiously ominous that this work has been destined to become a podcast series comprised of episodes. This episode is similar to many first chapters in any story. It is the setting and introduction of the protagonist and antagonist.</p><p>My thanks to the musical artists listed here sequentially by song title and artist: Old World Saga-Hanu Dixit, Goddess of the Sea- Jimena Contreras, Island Dream- Chris Haugen, Smokey's Lounge-TrackTribe, Intellect- Yung Logos, Kick It- Yung Logos, As You Were- TrackTribe, Breeze- Telecasted, Down With Your Getup- Mini Vandals.</p>]]></description>

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[America Is Lost Prologue:  The Intensity of Poetry]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the original prologue to the mock epic poem titled <em>The Quest of Psychelapse</em>. Originally written in 1984, the parody within this poem uncannily predicted the presidential victory of Joe Biden in 2020. The Mock Epic poem became a two part poem with the second one being written in November 2020 after the election. Completed on 30 November, 2020, the second part of this epic predicted the capitol insurrection that occurred on January 6, 2021.</p><p>The music for this episode is by TrackTribe and titled: Dusk 'til Dawn. It appropriately fits this segment because much of the poetry for part one was actually written in the late evening and early morning hours on a Smith Corona Memory Correct II typewriter that was later sold at a rummage sale. Go figure.</p>]]></description>
