THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

  

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:

"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"

GAMESTOCK MARKET MANIPULATIONS
Revealed the People's REDDIT vs Hedge Fund stock price manipulators
Now Reddit moves on to silver and other precious metals
intuiting a future decline in cash value-and a continuing need for Smartphone /battery materials.
Old paradigms are mutating-UBER vs taxis,Smartphones vs public phones,Internet vs newspapers.
As a data bank,Internet shelters both The Internet of Things and The Dark Web (Conspiracy Theories).
It has spawned The Silk Road,and 4chan/8chan-as well as cultures of hacking,phishing,spying and data theft.
But who controls GOOGLE?What appeal when FACEBOOK declares your work"spam?"
Dictatorships know-they close down the Web when dissent brews.They control media /news outlet.
They become both ANIMAL FARM and 1984 combined. Such is the power of data control.
Distraction morphs into censorship when whole cultures(Rohinga,Urghur,Tibetans)are negated.
Free speech is not free -in Russia,China,America,Israel.Only the penalties differ for whistleblowers.
Journalists are still kidnapped,tortured,executed.Only by naming them,can future truth-tellers be saved..

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
