On this episode we talk about AI, "Justice League (Snyder Cut)" and the documentary "My Octopus Teacher". RIP Mums and DMX

You can't be a little bit pregnant, either you are or you aren't. Similarly, you can't be a little bit of a Terrorist. Either you are, or you aren't. Enjoy this breakdown of what Terrorism represents, from a Metaphysical Psychology perspective. Green Arrow uses Nas' "I Gave You Power" as a metaphor, and Diamondseed refers to Public Enemy's "Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos".

A Trumpeteer confesses, Social Media companies bamboozle while their users plan (and stop) crimes, Fonzie is still cool while Rudy isn't, and we wait out the final moments of the possibility that Assange and Snowden might be pardoned. With Chase, Diamondseed, Green Arrow, and Deb.

"Just As You Can't Be A Little Bit Pregnant, You Can't Be A Little Bit Of A Terrorist... Either You Are Or You Aren't". -------- What's up everybody. This is Green Arrow and happy Martin Luther King day before I was named Green Arrow. I got an idea for the path that I wanted my life to take. And I like to think that because I did the right thing and pursued it, I was given the name Green Arrow, trying to be the hero, well, today's episode is very long and it's very personal, but wanting to get this out for a long time. And it's kind of a coincidence that it's out on Martin Luther King's day. And I'm going to start this episode with a clip from Noam Chomsky, from a podcast called what can humans understand how the mind works. And he was asked basically about. How people develop language and things like that. And it's really a sad story, but it really touches me. I wanted to put it out for a long time because it just moves me. He's talking about this young woman , who has passed and rest in peace. Her name was Jeannie and she was abused by her father. And. I didn't know her father obviously, and I didn't know Jeannie, but when you're talking about someone and the metaphor that I'm using breaks down, I don't think it's really fair of me to say that Jeannie, her father was a terrorist, but that's how a terrorist acts is, is someone who is consciously hurting someone psychotic, consciously hurting someone, consciously hurting another person. It's a really sad story. And like I said, it moves me enough to want to put it on this podcast. It is about just under three minutes long and I hope you follow it. If you can't, you can skip forward. This is kind of inspired by NAS' "I Gave You Power". I've always looked at it as a metaphor for how the ego works. So like I said, this is long and it's personal, but it's long. It sounds like it's a monologue because it's just me talking for about an hour, but actually Diamondeed and I were on a zoom call and he was gesturing, listening. And also he started playing guitar midway through. And we didn't want to include any of the guitar on this, so we didn't include it. So it does sound like a monologue, but he does come on and talk after I'd been in for an hour or so. And we break down what's going on as far as this chaos in the world. And I could summarize it a little bit more, but I just ask you to listen to it. I was going to tag NAS and Primo and Chuck, cause we do talk about "Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos", but it's too long, so if you hear it and you think there's valuable and some of these people pass it on to them, if not, it's just an appreciation of nausea's poetry and how he's really describing, at least as far as how I see this metaphor, how the ego works and what is terrorism. So without further ado, I'm going to pass the mic, so to speak over to Nome, and then I'll just cut right into the rest of this discussion. So once again, happy Martin Luther King day and peace on behalf of Chase, Diamondseed and I... thanks.

Michael Moore did a Facebook Live about how it looks like the Capital Chaos might be an Inside Job. Why wasn't this prevented? Was there a stand down order? If the US spends $780 Billion on "Defense", why was one of the most well-defended buildings attacked? What good are the NSA and FBI if, after illegally surveilling everyone they can't prevent this? and of course, Cui Bono? Who Benefits from this? With Chase, Green Arrow, Diamondseed and Deb

Bernie, Robin DiAngelo, and 44 Million Registered Democrats walked into a bar... and all I got was this KEEP HOPE ALIVE TShirt. But you get another 39 minute discussion of the chaos. Daily episodes all this week!

Trump is impeached... we talk about the Creativity in making your own fun, the Soul Infusion needed during Civil War in America, Parler, Josh Hawley, double standards, and food delivery surcharges. Plus: Bernie says Dems shouldn't repeat the 2010 "we have all the power, let's not do anything" strategy. Music: Public Enemy "Can't Truss It", Ahmad "Back In The Day", Tower of Power "Soul Vaccination" Speeches "Malcolm X "Message To The Grass Roots".

All this week we are releasing daily 30-45 min Episodes! Here's one where Green Arrow, Chase, Diamondseed and Deb talk more about the Trumpeteers, Impeachment, the definition of violence, and whether chickens are coming home to roost. Speeches from Malcolm X and Cori Bush, with extra hysterical BS from Adam Schiff to underscore how American Empire pretends to be against worldwide racism, as long as it's okay to demonize Russia, China, Iran, Palestine, etc.

Fresh off the Capitol Chaos and Trump banned from Twitter (and everything else), Green Arrow, Chase, Diamondseed and Deb chop it up about everything... we recorded a ton of stuff and will be putting out a new 30-45 minute episode every day for the next week. Enjoy! Music: "TONS 'O' GUNZ" by Gang Starr

just a quick 25 min...discussing police brutality in US and France, and how Green Arrow beat a faulty diagnosis of Cancer...twice!!! Featuring Diamondseed, GA and Deb, with Chase joining at the end. We'll have more soon...

Diamondseed and Green Arrow talk #Ludagate, Chells' DMC set, Elliot Page coming out as Non Binary, Maria Chavez' album that doesn't emit sound, and the final move of Hip Hop Chess Foundation. "...a pyramid is not a single brick, it's the evolution of stackable ideas and quantifiable experiences." - Diamondseed Please follow @bishopchronicles on Instagram!

Another quick experimental episode! Chase and Diamondseed did Voice Over sessions so you can hear the pledge that Noam Chomsky, Chuck D, and many others sign. We start dissecting this around 6:30. No statement is perfect, so discuss its pros and cons (starts at 6:30). We also cover the Lincoln Project’s failure, the surprising and mostly unreported shift of who is supporting Trump, and ask if the “Intelligence Community” should intervene... or be trusted at all. Here’s where you can read and sign if you want. Green Arrow signed and Chase and Diamondseed would probably encourage you to sign, https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/we-pledge-to-stop-a-fascist-america

Diamondseed and Green Arrow comment on election results, the Miles documentary, Jeremy Corbyn, Salvador Dali, and the Corporatocracy. Unfortunately our cool “Who’s That Lady” Isley Brothers sample got cut short. That’s the part at 13:48.

Diamondseed and Green Arrow give their thoughts about the outcome of the election, which of course leads into a discussion of a lost John Coltrane album.

SHOW NOTES COMING. TRANSCRIPTION BELOW. A Special Message for you from Co-Producer diamondseed: It’s a part of our mandate here at Aspirin Regimen to chase away the fears and tears of the election year and it just so happens to be our first year anniversary! So in the midst of what may seem like disaster ahead you, raise a glass along with us and remember the best is yet to come. I want to give a shout out to our long time listeners, guests and contributors. Extra special thanks goes out to The Captain of this jalopy, DJ Green Arrow, who assembled this team into a smooth, funky, informative machine. ------- Chase Sample : ohh you got me Gucci, baby? Sound collage intro, music cue Chase: Hi this is Co-Producers Chase Green Arrow: and Green Arrow We’ve got a lot on our schedule, and we wanted to break it down for you on this special Emergency Podcast Aspirin Regimen Podcast will be reacting to the election live, and releasing another Emergency Podcast on Nov 4. Early on Election Day, there’s gonna be a 3 1/2 hour interview with Turntablist Disk. As a founding member of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, Disk has been an enormously influential DJ and is credited with inventing the 2 Click Orbit, the echo fade technique and the 2 Click Flare Lazer Orbit techniques. In addition to extensive hip hop work with the Piklz and others, Disk has collaborated with a wide variety of musicians working in other genres, including Herbie Hancock, Bill Laswell, Buckethead, Zakir Hussain, Mike Patton, Norah Jones, Flavor Flav, Rancid, and Jack DeJohnette. He has been involved in over seventy recordings, and has performed in over fifteen countries. We hope you binge-listen Aspirin Regimen while you vote. We’ll have about 8 or nine hours for you total. If you end up standing in a long long line, you’re covered. And then after you’ve consumed, you can join us as part of the audience on a special all-day marathon Zoom call. You’ll need a ticket for this event, but it’s free. Let us know if you want one. We have special invited guests, too. We will keep you up to date on everything that’s happening, and give you moment-by-moment coverage of the election as only we can offer. And we will break down a lot of the issues that are at stake, in detail. CHASE: Aspirin Regimen will always go down the rabbit hole of creativity, but we wanted to talk about 3 paths that we are encountering today. One path ahead of us leads to Donald Trump being elected. There’s another path next to it that heads to a future where Joe Biden is elected President. The third is the path we are on, and it’s influenced by the rest of rest of the world. To say where we are, it’s important to mention that the world is complex. Our path leads us to the rabbit hole of Creativity. We hope that it’s a rabbit hole that exists in a world where Donald Trump isn’t president. We feel with the climate catastrophe as it is, human survival is at stake. The path we are on isn’t about electoral politics. We feel that creativity in and of itself is a political act, and that to define politics as about Trump and Biden diminishes creative focus. In order to buy into the overimportance of the horse race between Democrats and Republicans in the 2020 election, we’d have to internalize the propaganda that says that politics is about casting a vote every four years. The choice is clear. We must elect Biden, as if the future of our dreams depend upon it. Our Visions of who we want to be as people and creative artists depends on us not being underwater. We resist the idea of clarifying too much as in “it’s not about Biden, it’s just about how the future is grim under Trump”. Aspirin Regimen’s path gets us to a rabbit hole of creativity, and if Trump is elected, we will still reach that good and true rabbit hole of creativity. If Aspirin Regimen ends up in a rabbit hole of creativity under a Biden administration, we will still be us, and there is a greater chance that we will avoid climate catastrophe. We don’t emphasize the logic behind our choice, although we sincerely hope Trump is defeated. By who is irrelevant in this election, and realistically it has to be Biden who will fill a seat that replaces Trump. We can only say this because of you, the listener... and we are happy to announce that Aspirin Regimen is one year old today! Next year, we hope to be celebrating our second birthday under a Biden administration. But we want to emphasize, politics isn’t about this election, or any. It’s about every day work towards making the world the way you want it. We feel that to focus on elections is going to make people such as yourself, the listener, who have your own creative projects, feel as though your work isn’t good enough. We suggest you look at your own creativity like it’s a jalopy making a cross country trip. You’re driving a car from NY to California and you have to get there, you’re on a deadline. Well, you’d better know what to do if the jalopy breaks down when you’re in Arizona. Can you fix a flat? What if suddenly the steering wheel falls off, and you could go into the Grand Canyon? Politics is about knowing how to change that tire in your creative process. It’s about knowing what to do when your creative spark needs jumper cables. And more importantly than what to do, who to BE when you rejuvenate yourself after getting that jalopy a tune up. Everyone has the same God-given amount of power. It’s like a pie that is evenly divided among all humans... we all get the same size slice. Some people use their power more effectively than others. This can be seen as a definition of politics, though the first sentence of Aristotle’s “Politics” gives a good description of what Aspirin Regimen’s politics are all about: “As we see that every city is a society, and every society is established for some good purpose; for an apparent good is the spring of all human actions; it is evident that this is the principle upon which they are every one founded, and this is more especially true of that which has for its object the best possible, and is itself the most excellent, and comprehends all the rest.” We want you to be able to find the seeds of your creativity within you and through your process. This will always be true, no matter if we end up with Trump or Biden. We prefer Humanity to survive, and we want your creative work to be so strong. As Aristotle says, “for an apparent good is the spring of all actions.” Your inherent good is apparent to us, and the path we are on is gonna get us to the rabbit hole of creativity. So let’s go forward toward Aspirin Regimen’s SECOND ANNIVERSARY!!!! Before we say goodbye, I just want to say that the music for this episode... you know, THIS music... was produced by Mr. Funkee.
