The Rolling Black Swan of Charleston


  


     “Jenny was sweet/ She’d always smile for the people she’d meet/ On trouble and strife/ She had another way of looking at life/ The news is blue (The news is blue)/ Has its own way to get to you/…Pick up your feet/ Got to move to the trick of the beat/ There is no elite/ Just take your place in the driver’s seat.”     Sniff n The Tears   Driver’s Seat (1979)







   

   

    “I became aware that this was not an isolated group of individuals just working with occulted or hidden knowledge in order to essentially grow their own personal power, but inter-networked groups of people who were working together.  They came from an eclectic array of people from every walk of life.  In every social institution you can imagine there were Satanists placed in positions of high power and influence in those institutions, including politics, banking, law, the military, law enforcement, entertainment, technology, medicine, education, and every other area of our lives.  They were working together as a tight-knit unit for a common goal.”               Mark Passio, Ex-High Priest, Church of Satan

     “I made an American squirm/ And it felt so right/ On the screen was a musical worm/ Deep deep into the night.  Yes I was living in a wonderful world/ Everything was fine/ Tried to mate in a horrible state/ Deep deep into the night it goes on and on and on…”               Nick Lowe, American Squirm     Labour of Lust (1979)            









   



      The recent Charleston shootings of 9 at the African-American Emanuel AME church are fully stocked with enough eerie esoteric symbolism and sloppy clues to lead us to the conclusion that they were another globalist Gladio-style operation, fully in line with previous Manchurian-inspired takes such as the Columbine shootings, the Virginia Tech massacre, Sandy Hook, the Aurora, Colorado theater killings, and the Boston Bombings to name only a few.  Then there is also a tip-off that the incident happened directly in the midst of the growing public furor over news of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), effectively misdirecting and hijacking the headlines away from the signing of the agreement between the U.S. and other nations at exactly the time when backlash over the deal was at its apex and still growing in the public eye.  An orchestrated, limited hangout of bloodletting sensationalism needed to be triggered so greater word of the TPP’s egregious, pro-New World Order tenants would never reach the largest possible audience, which could have possibly derailed a key piece in the evolving plans of those wishing for a one-world currency and government.  As we’ve examined before, misdirection remains paramount. 





   



     Once again, our inability to put two and two together, our deteriorating cognitive function, gradually whittled away over decades by ongoing psychological ops and an increasing Big Pharma intake, plays right into the hands of the controllers.  It’s a gigantic, cosmic chess game…and we’re losing; buried under the weight of the oligarchic elite firing off one rolling black swan event after another.  Our star-dials are no longer calibrated correctly in this senescent grove we finds ourselves prisoners in.  Not for mysterious contrails alone can we no longer decode and intuit the glittering sky, which could give us our greatest clues, and our warders are ancient masters of astrotheology and astrolatry.  Twinkle twinkle little star.  How I wonder…what you are.






   

   



     As far as the Charleston psyop goes, one of the biggest clues pinging the false-flag meter must be the ominous presence of “the drills.”  While our designated ‘trigger man’ (ironic, right?) was hard at work manufacturing chaos on June 17th, the Department of Homeland Security, under the auspices of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center at the old Charleston Naval Base, was running concurrent Active Shooter Threat Training drills from June 15-19.  Of course you may think that this is only our old buddy coincidence that’s caught our trigger, 21-year-old Dylann Storm Roof, up in its busy little tendrils.  But that would likely be before you realized that this isn’t the first time such a happenstance has crossed the past parapolitical timeline.  Because drills depicting and acting out the very same scenarios that just happened to be going on in the world real-time, at the exact same time, also occurred during the 9/11 operation (when at least seven such drills were taking place), the 7/7/05 London underground bombings, the Columbine massacre, Sandy Hook, the Boston bombings, the Aurora Colorado theater shootings, the Oklahoma City bombing of the Murrah Federal building, the Virginia Tech killing spree, the 2011 Oslo Norway attacks, and the D.C. Navy yards shootings, to name only the ones I’m sure of off the top of my head. 






    



     In all these disasters, drills by local and federal authorities, most times both, were up and running simulating the exact same thing that would happen in real life just scant minutes later.  And yes, some times these drills were scheduled beforehand to start AT THE EXACT SAME TIME, to the minute, that the supposed “terrorist event” or “deranged lone shooter attacks,” or “bombings” actually started.  But we shouldn’t let these little historical factoids and anomalous blips trouble us.  They actually only serve to show how diligent the feds are in their work, how seriously they take their job of protecting us.  Why, they can predict exactly when bad things are going to happen, I mean, they’re right there, on scene, doing their most to keep us safe.  So, “go back to bed America, your government is in control” as the late Bill Hicks used to throw out acidly to roomfuls of the unsuspecting.





    

     Of course, the fact that they’re running the whole thing also conveniently provides the best plausible deniability possible by going by the old adage the best place to hide a lie is in plain sight.  The deniability also extends to “we were tipped off but arrived too late to do anything about it,” “we had previous intel,” “we’re good guessers,” “that case of Magic 8 balls on the books sure seems to be paying off now,” and any other number of absurdities just as ludicrous.  It’s funny how skeptics, or advancers of the Official Theory, always want to trot out Occam’s Razor to throw in the face of the “conspiracy theorists,” henceforth known as “realists.”  You know, how the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.  And sure, that’s great when they want to trade an F-16 pilot sighting a UFO exhibiting non-ballistic movement at 13,000 mph for Venus, or swamp gas, or a pack of flying squirrels, but when it comes to the official story of 9/11, or Sandy Hook, or Boston, they’ll do psychological backflips while hanging off a cliff holding onto a daisy before ever possibly entertaining the simplest explanation of all: IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB.  Time and again, it’s the only premise that answers all the questions.  They were there on scene before anyone because they were the instigators, the ones running it.  They had prior contact with all these perps for months and sometimes years before because they were handling them, molding them, grooming them with mind control tech that’d been years (mostly decades) in the perfecting, to be the patsy when the time was right for them to be “triggered.” Of course they were there.  For anyone looking closely enough, they’re always there.




      "Even before my father's father they/ Called us all rebels/ Burned down our corn fields/ Left our cities leveled/ I can still feel the eyes of those blue bellied devils/ As I'm walkin' 'round tonight/ Through the concrete, and metal..."     Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Rebels (1985)

    

    

     Before going any further into the details, let’s look at the ramifications of what Charleston wrought.  And one certain ramification should scare us all to death, whether we’re white, black, or purple.  This is the fact that the Confederate flag has now been effectively removed from history.  I may not personally agree with the reasons behind why a lot of people choose to fly the Confederate flag, but to paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, we should all defend to the death their right to do it.  Isn’t that what America used to be all about, your individual right to live and believe whatever you wanted?  There is a dangerous disconnect at play here, and a precedent being set that is ominous in the extreme.  Disappearing part of history is not a road we want to go down, and isn’t it something we fought against when the Nazis were busy burning books?  Some may have quite possibly even been books that as hard-core Christians some didn’t believe 100% in either, but we all made the obvious stand that no book deserves to be burned.  And no flag deserves to be wiped from history.  It’s all part of a rebel agenda being taken out, made an example of.  Find it interesting that States most tolerant and embracing of the Confederate flag are also States that champion the ideology of the right to keep and bear arms?  Fascinating, isn’t it?  Interesting also that these States have been the ones targeted in the Jade Helm federal occupation exercises currently taking place.  Exercises that began just as Dylann Storm Roof happened to be killing 9 people.  So before we also ban Gone With The Wind and The Dukes of Hazzard (from the sublime to the ridiculous), let’s take a deep breath and really think about what this means and where it’s all heading, before it’s too late. 








    
     Dylann Roof’s Facebook page has, of course, been removed.  But curious also is the fact that, according to the Wayback Machine, it was created just days before his June 17th rampage.  Then there are the released photos of Roof, some of which are highly suggestive of digital manipulation and alteration.  There is the original, which shows an Obama flag patch, and then there is this released version to the media just after the shootings, which shows flags of apartheid-ruled South Africa and white-ruled Rhodesia, before it became Zimbabwe.











    



    

     The cautious among us should also note that these first images with the South African apartheid flags were tweeted/released to the media at 7:37 am on June 18th by Rita Katz’s SITE Monitoring Service, primary source for all intelligence used by news organizations, Homeland Security, the FBI and CIA.  What gives her and her ‘monitoring service’ such cache?  The Mossad, that’s what.  SITE has also been responsible for highly dubious films of the late Osama bin laden where he implicated himself in 9/11, as well as all of the ISIS beheading videos.  These films have all now been widely discredited as fakes by worldwide intelligence.  So what exactly is Katz’s qualification?  She served in the Israeli Defense Forces, or Goon Squad numero uno.  She has a college degree and all investigative journalists globally believe the Mossad “helps” her with her information.  In other words there is no evidence of any qualification whatsoever of any kind.  Your local bartender has more intelligence gathering experience than this clown, and yet she has a high six-figure income and the ear of some of the most powerful alphabet agencies of record, for inventing out of thin air what they want her to invent.  Nice work if you can get it but yet another reason the whole Charleston affair is as Corporate-manufactured and poisonous as GMO rat chow.  Our first question should be who was her source for these photos?  Who supplied them to her, and why, according to photo manipulation experts, do they show signs of extensive digital alterations compared to the originals supplied by family members?






    



     Also needing mentioning is a curious parallel sequence relating to financing in Sandy Hook, of all places.  Buried in the mountains of fully legitimate questions regarding what exactly went on at the Sandy Hook massacre and who was involved is the strange fact that an inordinate number of victim’s families seem to have been in the middle of some bizarre real estate transactions that look for all the world like payoffs.  Using a website called Vision Government Solutions, a company that calls itself a “leading supplier of land parcel management software tech and services to local government organizations, enabling efficient assessment, billing, collections, mapping and permitting,” journalists used VGS’s provided online database of nine states in the northeastern U.S., one of which is Connecticut, to review.  In addition, real estate sites Trulia and Zillow were used, as well as the Connecticut Town Clerks Portal, a database of land records.





     ALL of these sources show that the homes of 22 of the victims’ families as well as 6 others that played significant roles in the Sandy Hook affair like friendly neighbor Gene Rosen, who appeared non-stop on TV during the crisis to elaborate on how it all went down for us, and 3 members of the Board of Selectmen, Newtown’s governing body, all had their homes listing the same date of sale (sold to them) as 12-25-2009, and each for a sum of $0.00.  The Sandy Hook killings of 20 children and 7 adults took place nearly 3 years to the day later, on December 14th, 2012.







     Juxtapose that strange fact with what happened in the extremely hurried aftermath of Charleston: the Federal government earmarked some $29,000,000 to be paid immediately to the affected families.  Which is an incredibly compassionate grand gesture granted, but it’s never happened before, and certainly not so immediately.  Over 3 million dollars per family…what?  Just because our government is so generous and caring?  Sure.  Something really strange is going on here.  People, hundreds of them, die in shootings every day in America and the government doesn’t issue them a nickel.  Are these ‘crisis actors’ being paid off?  If not, why did the police, when apprehending Roof over 100+ miles away in Shelby, N.C. on a tip from his stepsister Amber, holster their weapons?  Since when is it SOP to keep your sidearms holstered when taking into custody someone who has just shot and killed 9 people?  Then, the account goes, they took him to Burger King before booking him, “because he was hungry.” 

    





    



     There also remains the 800 lb elephant in the room without which none of this could get off the ground as a viable way to ensure Operation American Gladio keeps on continuing.  It remains the clearly marked presence in all these scenarios of the shadow of Big Pharma, and the ongoing manipulation of the human condition by the Psych Drugs.  Because first a stabilized psychological baseline has to be disrupted and altered for the cascading effect of the SSRIs to take hold through transformation.  In every one of these cases, from Harris and Kleybold at Columbine, to James Holmes at Aurora, to Sandy Hook’s Adam Lanza, both Boston Bombers and now Dylann Roof, there is the spectre of substantial mental manipulation by mood-altering drugs like Xanax, Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, and now in Roof’s case Suboxone, to name only a few of what are now proving to be quite sinister change agents.  We need to study long and hard who prescribes these drugs, why, and to what effect, because a review will show that a majority of these psychiatrists and psychologists have military backgrounds, are compromised and/or are on the payroll of shadowy think tanks and vested elite interests.  For their ultimate endgame to be implemented, the “Strategy of Tension” monster must be continually fed.  Once again, it all comes down to the engagement of social engineering through mind control.  It’s modern day alchemy, the realized dream of every “wizard of State” since John Dee prowled the court of the Queen centuries ago, looking to maintain Establishment power by opening channels of communication with other-worldly, perhaps extradimensional, entities.







    

     Communiques from these supposedly angelic, Enochian intelligences even expressed a pressing need for humans to establish what would become plans for a “New World Order,” first given earthly utterance in the modern lexicon by President George H. W. Bush in a speech on the telling date of September 11, 1990 to a joint session of Congress, exactly 11 years before the act that would more than anything else usher that Order in.  Eleven, as you see, is sacred in their numerology, and repeats often in their ceremonies.








    



    At times, that mind control is established when the subjects are obviously even younger children than the 21-year-old Roof, keyed to an MKUltra program offshoot called Monarch. Here we see the interconnectivity of South Carolina as a hotbed of this kind of activity and some interesting names.  Multiple witnesses have named a “Colonel Bill Risher” of Bamberg, S.C. as supplying kids, over a term of years, to our old friend Colonel Michael Aquino, about whom much has been written here.  Suffice it to say that the kidnapping and mind-control of children through sexual and mental trauma is the specialty of this elite military Satanist and Nazi-worshipper, implicated in scandals running from Iran-Contra and Franklin to the McMartin Preschool and the Presidio and West Point daycares.  We’ve already targeted Pennsylvania and the infamous Second Mile charity as centers of the trafficking of minors for large-scale, likely nationwide, pedophile rings recently, and now we may have to expand that territory of nightmarish experimentation to South Carolina. 





    



     The peculiar history of Charleston itself and why it may have been selected for an operation like this is underscored in many areas.  Consider something called Renaissance Weekend, formerly held on Hilton Head Island, and relocated to Charleston in 2001.  Listen to this press release:



“More than 1,200 ‘movers and shakers’ from across the nation will exchange views in 400 lectures, seminars, panel discussions, and workshops from 8 am-midnight each day.  The non-partisan gathering encourages divergent views among the leaders in business and finance, education, religion, law, medicine, government, the media, science, technology, sports, non-profits, and the arts.”  These “weekends” have, in the past, been attended by both Clintons, among others.



    

    





     Compare the press release for this Weekend gathering, who attends, and their areas of influence, with the statement from Mark Passio that heads this post, and then tell me that these people don’t have areas of converging, shared interests.  No technical “conspiracy” per se is even necessary when like-minded individuals attend gatherings and share common ideologies and goals.  When you consider the fact that we find ourselves not only at this type of precipice, but that they also commune to create even more elaborate plans and white papers charting their ascension and our demise, the problem we face is compounded.  Ask yourself why so many recent scandals have the commonality of child trafficking and child sexual abuse, as in the case of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, and his links to the UK Royal Family, hundreds of elite ‘movers and shakers,’ and Bill Clinton.  The even more recent case of the FBI investigating Speaker Of The House Dennis Hastert, and his links to the Mark Foley “Pagegate” scandal of 2006 amid new revelations of multiple accounts of his sexual abuse of children while a high school teacher and wrestling coach in Illinois. 



    Ask yourself why, after an initial media-intense flurry of reporting, usually in the first week to 10 days, is nothing more ever heard of these stories?  What is the common denominator here?  After the limited hangout of early reports feigning ultra-concern, the reason becomes clear. 




     These types of stories ultimately must be suppressed at all cost, lest the money and evidence trails lead to areas too high up the social ladder to be contained, especially considering when you connect all the dots, it becomes readily apparent that this problem crosses even national borders and becomes global in scope.  It’s why vermin the caste of Aquino are always at the center of operations.  They’ve made themselves invaluable as propaganda merchants and psyops warriors.







    





     Which will lead us to our final area of concern regarding Charleston and why it may have been targeted as a deep, false flag site: a rich history in the dark occult arts.  To begin with, Charleston falls, once again, on the 33rd parallel, a number that we’ve discussed many times before that acts as a “tell” when considering who’s really authoring these acts of chaos.  (See the posting Ebola Working Pattern Recognition from October of last year to fill in more of the understanding of the keys to this “coding.”)  Basically their beliefs hinge on the fact they consider the 33rd parallel North latitude line as important regarding the enacting of human sacrifice rituals to non-human intelligences for temporal power.  It has always been historically associated with Freemasonry.  Nine people were killed in Charleston, or 3x3.  The ritualistic begins to show itself.  







     The location of Charleston on the 33rd parallel made it the prime site of Isaac Long to establish the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, doing so ritually by first bringing a statue of Baphomet there.  Following that, Albert Pike succeeded Long and moved there in 1852, changing the name to “the New and Reformed Palladian Rite” of Freemasonry, considered to be the Mother Supreme Council of the world.  The other two centers of this Rite lie in Rome and Berlin.  In his book “Morals And Dogma” Pike describes the God of Freemasonry as being Lucifer.  The alternating dark energy nodes of Rome and Charleston will later prove significant.






     Earlier than this, in 1780, the Knights Templar Commandery was established in Charleston in 1780.  The inscription on the Templar Seal, “In Hoc Signo Vinces” is translated to “In this sign you will conquer,” the same motto used by Constantine.  Although long considered the first historical Christian emperor, Constantine still upheld pagan practices and even still killed Christians if they didn’t see eye-to-eye with his particular version of Christianity.









     Retired professor of the Pontifical Biblical Institute, eminent theologian and former Jesuit priest, Father Malachi Martin was a close personal friend of Pope Paul VI and worked within the Vatican walls doing research on the Dead Sea Scrolls when he began to notice things were changing by the early 1980s.  He began speaking out on a variety of issues stemming from the Second Vatican Council, and by 1989, he had become increasingly candid about what he said was pedophilic Satanism among certain cardinals and other clergy in league with a secret Masonic diabolicus that began following the “enthronement of the fallen Archangel Lucifer” in the Roman catholic citadel on June 29, 1963.  In his book The Keys Of This Blood, Martin wrote:



“Most frighteningly for John Paul, he had come up against the irremovable presence of a malign strength in his own Vatican and in certain bishops’ chanceries. It was what knowledgeable Churchmen called the "Superforce." Rumors, always difficult to verify, tied its installation to the beginning of Pope Paul VI’s reign in 1963. Indeed Paul had alluded somberly to "the smoke of Satan which has entered the Sanctuary"…an oblique reference to an enthronement ceremony by Satanists in the Vatican.”





     Martin had concealed greater detail of this Luciferic "enthronement ceremony by Satanists in the Vatican" in his novel, Windswept House:



The Enthronement of the Fallen Archangel Lucifer was effected within the Roman Catholic Citadel on June 29, 1963; a fitting date for the historic promise about to be fulfilled. As the principal agents of this Ceremonial well knew, Satanist tradition had long predicted that the Time of the Prince would be ushered in at the moment when a Pope would take the name of the Apostle Paul [Pope Paul VI]. That requirement—the signal that the Availing Time had begun—had been accomplished just eight days before with the election of the latest Peter-in-the-Line.”





     Martin stated publicly on more than one occasion that the enthronement of Lucifer in Rome was based on fact, and that to facilitate the black magic, a parallel ceremony was conducted simultaneously in the United States in Charleston, South Carolina. The reason this location was selected has remained obscure to many, but given what Malachi said about the Masonic connection, it makes sense that South Carolina was chosen: It is the site of the first Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry in the United States, called "the Mother Lodge of the World," where in 1859, champion of Luciferian dogma for the Masonic-Illuminatus, Albert Pike became Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, where he served the Order of the Quest until his death in Washington DC on April 2, 1892.



In addition, Charleston, at the 33rd parallel, was perfect for such an event, according to the logic of former Sirhan Sirhan attorney, Day Williams, because, "If a life is taken close to the…33rd Parallel, this fits with the Masons’ demonic mythology in which they demonstrate their worldly power by spilling human blood at a predetermined locale."







     Martin provided additional reasoning for the South Carolina location.  Once again, from Windswept House:



“Such unobtrusive elements as the Pentagram and the black candles and the appropriate draperies could be part of the Ceremonial in Rome. But other Rubrics—the Bowl of Bones and the Ritual Din, for example, the sacrificial animals and the victim—would be too much.  There would have to be a Parallel Enthronement.  A Concelebration could be accomplished with the same effect by the Brethren in an Authorized Targeting Chapel.  Provided all the participants in both locations "targeted" every element of the Event on the Roman Chapel, then the Event in its fullness would be accomplished specifically in the target area.  It would all be a matter of unanimity of hearts, identity of intention and perfect synchronization of words and actions between the Targeting Chapel and the Target Chapel.  The living wills and the thinking minds of the Participants concentrated on the specific Aim of the Prince would transcend all distance.” 






     Malachi Martin, after appearing regularly for some five years or more on the late-night, Art Bell radio show Coast to Coast AM, speaking of what he called the “perfect possession” of humanity which was ongoing, and what he thought “was coming this way” in the wake of the Hale Bopp comet and the Phoenix Lights, died an untimely and highly suspicious death in 1999.  His claims and theories remain both unproven, and extremely valid.  The Evil, he always said, is here.  Now.









     In 1962, a CIA memorandum stated that President John F. Kennedy and UK Prime Minister Harold Macmillan had privately agreed to “liquidate President Sukarno” in order to plunder the gold and copper reserves of Indonesia. 





     On 6-30-63, just one day after Malachi Martin’s “Satanic Enthronement date,” JFK visited Macmillan at his home at Birch Grove in Sussex.  ‘Something’ apparently happened there.  A long-time British high-level Satanist, going by the alias Aloysius Fozdyke, mentions Kennedy directly when he commented, “For as long as I remember American presidents have had special needs to which we’ve catered.  Kennedy was basically a whoremonger, couldn’t keep his fly zipped.  Our British section used his weaknesses when he visited the UK, but that gets me to Dr. Stephen Ward again.”  (The story of Ward and his place in the historic Profumo Affair bears closer study at another time, but is filled with multiple mentions of occult rituals spanning years.)



“What interests me is that Bob Boothby had a long affair with Dorothy Macmillan, the wife of Harold Macmillan who was also a member of the original Bilderberg conference.” (Fozdyke claims Boothby was a fellow Satanist.)





“Meanwhile in Britain, Boothby and Tom Driberg, apart from being homosexuals, were also active Satanists.  Tom’s cover of Anglo-Catholicism kept him out of a lot of bother.  Both were involved behind the scenes in organizing for Harold Wilson and Edward Heath to become Prime Ministers of Britain, as Wilson was a high initiate of the Left-Hand Path.”  Edward Heath, of course, from multiple sources was a notorious pedophile responsible for the deaths of dozens, perhaps hundreds, of ‘rent boys’ in his term as Prime Minister, as he would toss their dead bodies off his yacht when he was through with them.









     “A grand game of chess is being played on a scale we can barely imagine.”     William Cooper






    

     Also far beyond the scope of this particular article is the JFK legacy, and how, at a certain time, it appears he turned his back viciously on all that it meant to be a “typical” Kennedy.  This man somewhere along the way experienced an epiphany, a sea change, and decided to bite the hand that had fed him his entire life, effectively cutting himself off completely from a family of what looked for all the world to be nothing less than generational Satanists.  The occult trappings that had nurtured him and kept him in his lifestyle, the Mafia and a father that had guided him into office on the backs of multiple stolen elections, all were jettisoned with the fierce mentality envisioned in his promise that he would “shatter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.”






    

     Who can say what internal flashpoint transformed him, what dire crossroads he found himself derelict on only to lift himself into communion with his better angels?  All we can say is that at a certain critical juncture, he was filled with light and the righteousness of the angry man who realizes he’d been duped his entire life.  Perhaps knowledge came to him too late, even as it came to Lee Harvey Oswald too late, when both stared at the same realization at different times that their lives were part of a larger game neither controlled.  Sophocles and the Devil both said “how terrible is wisdom when it brings no profit to the wise.”





    



     Perhaps in that ominous meeting with the Satanist Macmillan on 6-30-63, a 666 date, in a deep dark Sussex grove, Kennedy laid down the law.  Perhaps it was intended as a “power” luncheon between like-minded political factions.  All we can say now for sure is that within 6 months of that meeting, Macmillan was out of power and JFK was dead.







    



     Ah, but we’ve ventured far afield from Charleston, haven’t we?  Or have we?  Because the farther you travel in these darkening horse latitudes, the more you find yourself right back where you started.





    





     In their own way, Kennedys and killers can both be black swans.





    

“What will grow crooked you can’t make straight/ It’s the price that you gotta pay/ Do yourself a favor and pack your bags/ Buy a ticket and get on the train/ ‘Cause this is fucked up/ ‘Cause this is fucked up

People get crushed like biscuit crumbs/ And laid down in the bitumen/ You have tried your best to please everyone/ But it just isn’t happening/ No it just isn’t happening/ And it is fucked up/ Well this is fucked up, fucked up

This is your blind spot, blind spot/ It should be obvious but it’s not

You cannot kick start a dead horse/ You just cross yourself and walk away/ I don’t care what the future holds/ ‘Cause I’m right here and I’m today/ With your fingers you can touch me/

I am your black swan, black swan/ But I made it to the top/ This is fucked up/ I’m a baby in the dust/

We are black swans, black swans/ And for spare parts we’re broken up…”
