During July 10th's NATO 75th anniversary, Biden quoted (to the, "Secretary-General, Allies, and friends):" 33rd U.S. President Harry Truman's idea behind the Alliance, "we hope to create a shield against aggression, the fear of aggression, and to permit us to get on with the real business of creating government and society... For 75 years, our nations have grown and prospered behind the NATO shield. Today, we’re stronger than we’ve ever been." In the 1948 election, Truman vs Dewey: Brittanica wrote, "Dewey was widely tipped by pollsters to win the election easily. Indeed, the New York Times considered it over and Life magazine had already declared Dewey the, next president of the United States." Brittanica continued, "in early September 1948 (2 months before the election) Elmo Roper, of Roper Research Associates, reported that Truman trailed Dewey by about 13 percent in the polls... Truman refused to believe he stood no chance." After Truman won by more than 2 million people and getting over 100 more electoral votes, Dewey said, "I was just as surprised as you are." July 18th, as RNC events unfolded, CNBC reported, Biden was in Delaware recovering from Covid-19, "showing mild symptoms with no signs of a fever."

The Ascendents' Souls Lost To The Dandy Warhols

Not Kyle (thankfully), only Timmy and Josh...

Being so driven and determined to play a show with local band, The Dandy Warhols, The Ascendents' drummer Timmy and bassist Josh had given away their souls to the Dandy Warhols. "THEY GAVE THEIR F---ING SOULS TO THE DANDY WARHOLS!" Kyle commented with extreme contempt and disappointment, "other past Ascendents souls also were lost to the Dandy Warhols," and referenced an earlier Ascendents' drummer from long, long ago.

Kyle added, "we are the better band, are they going to headline us? By the way, for that kind of style: compared to The Dandy Warhols, The Brian Jonestown Massacre sounds more--" a fight interrupted.

The two rival West Coast "psychedelic" rock bands had somehow polarized/split The Ascendents' fanbase (A.K.A. the entire human race). Kyle shouted, "I demand 10 million-billion dollars (contribution) from each and every one of them!" Everyone was out and in it for themselves. Reaching to the highest ground, Kyle had exclaimed, "whatever happens, I hope that it is my best!" Timmy had replied, "actually, I hope that too, lol!" From Josh, no comment was provided (classified). Kyle had pushed the narrative that Josh's soul was probably too busy being tortured while trying to get through The Dandy Warhols - The Best Of The Capitol Years: 1995-2007 album.

Eventually, as the years passed, it became more obvious (via Reddit) that the BJM (The Brian Jonestown Massacre) actually was a lot more-preferred than the Dandys, but even through the year of 2024, Josh and Timmy were still overly committed and possessed, all day and every day, fantasizing and thirsting, for the possible dream, of one day, playing a "show"... with the Dandy Warhols. They wouldn't come down. Their poor, unfortunate, and blinded "Dandy-sipping" souls didn't care about their own band, only the Dandy Warhols. Instead of pushing for the next Ascendents album, Josh and Timmy prioritized going to Dandy Warhols concerts: to be top #1 Dandy fans, to maybe see someone top-less, and to try talking about that great shining "dandy" gig on the horizon. Kyle shared a link, "340 minutes (80 songs) of Anton Newcombe and The Brian Jonestown Massacre." He summarized, "their hunger for power was over. It wasn't a bed of roses or a pleasurable cruise. It was like getting sand kicked in my face, but we didn't lose. This is a victory for all of the free world." Then, Kyle shared a special (Raw Sessions) version of Queen's "We Are The Champions."

Modern Techniques to Drive Elections

Modern Techniques to Drive Elections
Facebook requires an ID verification to post political ads

In America's two-hundred year history, the tricks for winning elections have evolved. Political spending is greater than ever, and so are the barriers to contend. 

Modern Techniques to Drive Elections

Corporations pay money to advertise a voice and reach new audiences, however; to have a political voice, the FEC (Federal Election Commission) has stated laws requiring "Paid for by" disclaimers in its Special Notices on Political Ads and Solicitations brochure.   

Many businesses such as Facebook are now flagging political ads and are requiring everything questionable to have a disclaimer and come from a verified account. This raises the quality of contributors, but it also becomes more difficult for independent organizations to even have a voice.

Modern Techniques to Drive Elections
Subliminal programming mentions political candidate

While money can always be funneled through others to hide an agenda's trail, a disclaimer is not even required for items that according to the brochure, "cannot be conveniently printed (for example, pens, bumper stickers, campaign pins, campaign buttons and similar small items) or where its display is not practicable (for example, wearing apparel, water towers and skywriting)."

With hot topics, politics can steal the spotlight and distract from the real issues, emphasizing what captivates attention, and bringing the conversation into a candidate's desired territory. Facts can get twisted and over time be argued to an oblivion where the truth is lost.  

Political messages can also appear in less obvious forms -- cities, counties, and districts are targeted; from local clubs, events, and even churches -- countless sponsors push politics using algorithms, big data, demographics, and other technologies. Television stations program content to satisfy political messages. Party ideologies play on internal conflicts and tear apart families/communities, friends and neighbors cannot be trusted because beneath the surface, everything might be about revolution.
