NSPB: Welcome back “our” most cherished listeners! Thank you for being here once again as we continue to follow the antics of Jeff Bezos and his effervescent Amazonian House of Pain or AHP.
“Real” living human beings: AHP! AHP! AHP! AHP on over to Amazon’s House of Pain!
J&D: Been there!
NSPB&RAT: Done that!
“Real” living human beings: Never again!
D: TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: Yes Drew?
D: Jonathan told me to ask you about what the Tibetan Buddhist call “Hungry Ghosts” as I don’t understand what this has to do with TheAmazon’s taking away “your” holiday bonuses and that of Ebenezer Scrooge?
TheSASMO: Firstly Drew! Let me read something for you by Blaise Pascal a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic theologian who lived during the 17th Century! ‘When I see the blind and wretched state of man, when I survey the whole universe in its deadness and man left to himself with no light, as though lost in this corner of the universe without knowing who put him there, what he has to do, what will become of him when he dies, incapable of knowing anything, I am moved to terror, like a man transported in his sleep to some terrifying desert island, who wakes up quite lost with no means of escape. Then I marvel that so wretched a state does not drive people to despair!’
“Real” living human beings: What TheSASMO?
J&D&NSPB&RAT: Dido?
TheSASMO: Death terrifies us! And because of this, so does life so frightens us as it petrifies us down to our very souls!
D: So what does it have to do with Ebenezer Scrooge and Jeff Bezos? And that’s not to mention the “Hungry Ghosts?” Do they exist? TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: Indeed they do! And if you would only listen closely! You can hear them cry as they toil in vain to fill their emptiness! It can’t be done!
“Real” living human beings: What TheSASMO?
J&D&NSPB&RAT: Dido?
TheSASMO: Go back to what Pascal’s written: ‘…the blind and wretched state of man, when I survey the whole universe in its deadness and man left to himself with no light, as though lost in this corner of the universe without knowing who put him there, what he has to do, what will become of him when he dies, incapable of knowing anything…’ And when thinking in these terms? What might one do?
J&RAT: Online retail!
TheSASMO: Exactly! Amazon.com believes its mission’s to freak the “brains” outta the entire world via online buying, the most important thing in the universe; known or otherwise!
“Real” living human beings: What The “freakin’”SASMO?
J&D&NSPB&RAT: Dido?
TheSASMO: The “freakin’” SASMO this! Basically, having no center, no internal compass; men such as Ebenezer Scrooge and Jeff Bezos work day and night endlessly searching for something that’ll fill them up and soothe their unfulfilled souls!
D: Is this where the term “Fulfillment” Center comes from TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: Correct Drew!
D: Finally got one!
J&RAT: Work Hard!
NSPB: Have Fun!
“Real” living human beings: Make History!
TheSASMO: Hurrah! Now listen! Hoping to find fulfillment! Keep smiling Drew! You desire it! Hoping to find fulfillment, men such as Ebenezer Scrooge and Jeff Bezos must have and control everything! They cannot stop themselves from taking everything from everyone else! It’s all they treasure in existence!
D: But why TheSASMO? Isn’t there plenty to go around for everyone!
TheSASMO: You would think so Drew but it isn’t so! And why?
“Real” living human beings: Why TheSASMO why?
TheSASMO: Because it’s everything or nothing to men such as this! And in order to achieve “everything” they must slice the very skin off of everyone and everything in this world! They must take that skin and cover themselves with it! And in doing so, they might finally be fulfilled!
“Real” living human beings: Why TheSASMO why?
TheSASMO: Because they are hungry! Because they’ve never experienced fulfillment before! Because they must!
D: And when they die TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: Nothing changes Drew! They’re simply in a different realm with the same circumstance as before: HUNGER!
D: And they can’t escape this condition TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: Few if any will escape from becoming Hungry Ghosts after they die! But hopefully? After this experience they might possibly receive sight and see themselves for what they are! And with this, change can begin!
NSPB: Well that was a “different” introduction to “our” ‘A Silent Radio Hour’ live yet pre-recorded here in Reject Square in the Heart of Down-Town Seattle, Washington in the United States of Hey Hungry Ghosts! Look In the Mirror! See Yourselves and Hopefully Change for the Better Here or RSHDTSWUSHHGLIMSYHCBH in: America!
J&D&RAT&“Real” living human beings: Dido!
NSPB: But now onto “our” final Episode or E in TheSASMO’s series concerning (1) Displacement! (2) Financial Crisis! (3) Interment! (4) Physical Anguish! And finally (5) Psychological Sorrow! TheSASMO, please!
TheSASMO: Going back to Pascal! And there was a reason I began with him! Hear this now: ‘…the blind and wretched state of man, when I survey the whole universe in its deadness and man left to himself with no light, as though lost in this corner of the universe without knowing who put him there, what he has to do, what will become of him when he dies, incapable of knowing anything…’ Let’s break it down!
“Real” living human beings: Down! Down! Down! Let’s break it Down!
TheSASMO: ‘…the blind and wretched state of man?’ TheAmazon plays on the condition of people existing in their communities which are under-siege by the Hedge-fund managers and Wall-Street banksters and the lawyers and experts who’ve pillaged main-street while destroying America’s manufacturing base leaving people helpless living in a wretched state!
J: I say! God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
J: Again I say! God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
TheSASMO: Next! ‘…when I survey the whole universe in its deadness and man left to himself with no light…’ Look around you at those walking in economic despair! Look into their eyes and experience the confusion existent because their communities have been destroyed by the greed of the Capitalistic Class Hungry Ghosts or CCHG who cannot find fulfillment in this life!
J: I say! God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
J: Again I say! God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
TheSASMO: ‘…as though lost in this corner of the universe without knowing who put him there…’ How many lives shattered? How many children with nothing but anguish, living in desolate misery hoping to finally fill their stomachs? Let along hoping to find, once again find, the happiness that has been stolen from them and their families?
J: I say! God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
J: Again I say! God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
TheSASMO: ‘…what he has to do…’ Left with nothing but crumbs from the table of the Master-class, what’s a man to do as he crawls on the floor of the Fulfillment Center hoping to last one more week before the dreaded algorithmic metric of finality (RATE) forces him to the street wondering “How will I tell them?”
J: I say! God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
J: Again I say! God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
TheSASMO: ‘…what will become of him when he dies…’ To think to oneself: “I’d rather be dead than to have to tell them what’s to become of us!” To God it’s true! Heaven and Hell is a moot point! For me! Heaven is my family! And hell’s not being able to provide for them!
J: I say! God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
J: Again I say! God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: God damn! God damn TheAmazon!
TheSASMO: ‘… incapable of knowing anything…’ Why has this happened? Why? I know not! To a certainty! It must change! But how?
J&D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: How TheSASMO how?
TheSASMO: Stand up and fight! GIVE US BACK OUR HOLIDAY BONUSES OR WE WALK! GIVE US BACK OUR DIGNITY OR WE’LL TAKE IT BACK OURSELVES!
NSPB: And fight on we must! Please return next time as we continue to battle for the soul of Main-Street America or MSA! Send TheAmazon and its minions to hell where they belong! Fight for the right to be “We the People…!”
J&D: Bye for now but we’ll be back fighting tooth and nail for our dignity! For our self-respect!
NSPB: And Jonathan please!
J: Once again for The Queen of Soul!
J&D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: What you want Baby, I got it [TheAmazon]What you need Do you know I got it All [TheAmazon] I’m askin’ Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit) [TheAmazon] Hey baby (just a little bit) when you get home (just a little bit) mister (just a little bit) [TheAmazon] I ain’t gonna do you wrong while you’re gone [TheAmazon] Ain’t gonna do you wrong ‘cause I don’t wanna [TheAmazon] All I’m askin’ Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit) [TheAmazon] Hey Baby (just a little bit) when you get home (just a little bit) [TheAmazon] Yeah (just a little bit) [TheAmazon] I’m about to give you all of my money [TheAmazon] And all I’m askin’ in return, honey [TheAmazon] Is to give me my propers When you get home (just a, just a, just a, just a) [TheAmazon] Yeah baby (just a, just a, just a, just a) When you get home (just a little bit) Yeah (just a little bit) [TheAmazon] Ooo, your kisses Sweeter than honey [TheAmazon] And guess what?

D: Jonathan?
J: Yes Drew?
D: Those Hungry Ghosts really scare me Jonathan!
J: They’re supposed Drew! It’s their job!
TheSASMO: Indeed it is! But are they UNION Jonathan? Are they UNION Ghosts? And if you please!
J: With power and dignity not asking for but demanding: RESPECT!
J&D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: Look for the union label when you are buying that coat, dress or blouse.
Remember somewhere our union's sewing, our wages going to feed the kids, and run the house. We work hard, but who’s complaining? Thanks to the I.L.G. we’re paying our way! So always look for the union label, it says we’re able to make it in the U.S.A.!
J: And since we’re at it! Once more for the UNION!
J&D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: ‘Oh, you can’t scare me [TheAmazon], I’m sticking to the union, I’m sticking to the union, I’m sticking to the union. Oh, you can’t scare me [TheAmazon], I’m sticking to the union, I’m sticking to the union ‘til the day I die. This union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies [TheAmazon], She couldn’t be fooled by a company stool [TheAmazon], she’d always organize the guys. She always got her way when she struck for better pay. She’d show her card to the National Guard And this is what she’d say Oh, you can’t scare me [TheAmazon], I’m sticking to the union, I’m sticking to the union ‘til the day I die. You gals who want to be free, just take a tip from me; Get you a man who’s a union man and join the ladies’ auxiliary. Married life ain’t hard when you got a union card, A union man has a happy life when he’s got a union wife. Oh, you can’t scare me [TheAmazon], I’m sticking to the union, I’m sticking to the union ‘til the day I die. Oh, you can’t scare me [TheAmazon], I’m sticking to the union, I’m sticking to the union ‘til the day I die! NO! NO! NO! NO! Oh, you can’t scare me [TheAmazon], I’m sticking to the union, I’m sticking to the union ‘til the day I die!’
