Alright, kids. How are you? I don't know what you're looking at. I
don't know what we're looking at. But here I am. Uh, we are trying to
make this live stream happen and I hope let me do something obvious so
I can see what my lag is like here. Make sure I'm going to watch my
stream. Okay. Looks like I'm good. Uh, so here I am. Uh, need to chat
with you all about some ongoing situations. Let me wind things back up
to sort of the beginning back in late February, the March of this year.
Uh, I had been living in this horrible bedbug filled dope-filled mess
of a trap house and things had got to the point where I just couldn't
work. The landlord was uncooperative. I had roommates that were
seriously problematic and damaging property and everything else. So, I
was on the streets for a minute, actually in a hotel. Thanks to the
generous assistance of friends. While I was staying at the hotel, I was actually on my last day and in the lobby trying to figure out how I was going to pay for one more night and I ran into a friend of mine that I
had known back in high school. Haven't seen her for about 35 years. We
got to talking. As it turned out, she is dealing with stage 4 terminal cancer in her lungs and her brain. She needed somebody to stay with
her. She had a spare room and she needed somebody here to help out and basically just to be here in case she had some kind of medical problem
and couldn't reach the phone, right? So, I've been here and I've been
able to take advantage of a lot of time. I absolutely do not want to
get into like running my roommate down. It's not what this is about.
But the situation as it stands right now is she's been on disability
and on disability, you have a grace period. I think it's nine months
where you're still allowed to earn money and they don't penalize you or threaten to take you off the disability. Unfortunately, that grace
period is about to end. With that grace period ending, she's still reasonably healthy and has been working and so on and so forth but
that's going to have to end because if she continues working then her disability gets cut off and that's her health care and her medical insurance. Her employer's insurance doesn't cover chemotherapy,
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So it's this big, snarled, tangled mess
of who knows how you're going to deal with this, right? So she came to
me today and you know, the deadline of December 1st has been impending
for a time for 9 months. We knew this was coming. Excuse me. But what
we didn't know was what was going to have to be done to deal with it.
Now the problem is if I'm living here all of my income also counts
against her disability. I can't get any of that stuff. I don't qualify
for any of that stuff. What little I could maybe qualify for has years
long waiting lists including housing and everything else because I have
my own problems, right? It's been working out alright but
unfortunately, it is not going to continue working alright.
I have to leave. I have to be out of here December first because I
can't be here. If I am here, that jeopardizes her access to medical
care and her disability. Again, I don't want to get into the business
of running my roommate down but my first response to that of course
was, let's raise some money and get you a bank built up so we can make
sure your property taxes are covered and everything else. We'll do a
third party. That way, you're not handling the money and then it can be treated as a gift. It doesn't come against your disability and all that other stuff. I actually went so far. I started setting up a GoFundMe.
Um and then I went and said, well, I made a picture to do this
fundraiser and then it was, well, I didn't ask you for that. I didn't
need the help. I don't want the help. That's not, I don't want any of
that.
Okay. Well, that means that there's nothing I can do and now I have to
worry about helping myself. Um I there's there's literally my hands are tied. I don't want to approach the situation like this. Uh I don't I
this is not what I want to be doing. Uh on any level. Uh I don't want
to move out. I don't want to leave her here by herself to to deal with
all this stuff. Um but it clearly the situation is I've got to go. Um
and so that's that's where we're at right now. Uh and I'm a little
freaked out and I'm very very scared and very very worried. Um I've
been slowly you know trying to build this page up and and trying to to
to reach out to to everybody. Uh and let you know. Like we've gotta
we've gotta step on this and and some people have and I I seriously appreciate that. Um but it's also you know it's it's 20 bucks. It's you know, 50 bucks if I'm lucky. Um and and my monthly income is still, you know, on the order of three, $400 Um right now, I'm on Facebook's bonus program. Uh they added me to that a couple of months ago And I had that
post go viral here about a week and a half ago. Uh before it was
shamelessly stolen by the other ninety-eight percent. Um I ended up
with about 850, 000 views on that. Like 130000 likes. Added a couple of hundred people to to my followers on on this page. Uh and the the money translation from that worked out to about well, I was at about 12 bucks
when it started. So, it's been like sixty-two, $63 that came on to that
and that's awesome. I mean, I'm not trying to not appreciate that and
I'm not trying to not appreciate the people who have helped out, you
know, some folks have been helping for years, right? There's there's,
you know, I've got patrons who have been signed up for a couple of
years at five bucks a piece. I've got a two patrons over there that are
50 bucks a month and they've been on there one one friend of mine has
been off and on for a couple of years. Uh another friend who's also,
you know, a reader on this page has been there at fifty bucks since the beginning of this year and all of that helps and I appreciate. I would
not be able to maintain even my Adobe subscription. Uh if if not for
that but it's also not survivable. Um and now, I am in a really really difficult position. Uh in that, I don't know how I'm going to live. I
don't know how I'm going to survive. I don't know where I'm going to
go. I don't know how I'm going to get there. Uh the the externally
sourced drama that originally resulted in me, you know, being having to
move into that boarding house in the first place. Uh that was, you
know, my my loving family and thanks to that. I have an eviction on my record. So, I can't just jump out and go, oh, hey, here's, you know,
couple hundred bucks. Uh, security deposit a month's rent, you're going
to let me move in, right? Um, because I've got an eviction on my
record. Um, and, and we all know that the housing situation out there
is absolutely horrible. Anyway, landlords are charging, you know, two,
three months worth of rent all kinds of ridiculous security deposits
and fees and everything else. It's it's not easy for anybody out there
right now to do to find a place to be, okay? Why I've done this video
and and why I'm I'm doing this video all of the top of my head is to
try to reach out and let you all know that the time is now. Um the this
this entire situation has to change. I have to get stabilized.
I have to grow my audience to the point of being able to sustain. I've
been out here for, you know, the 15 years doing this stuff, and I've
been just absolutely crushed by, you know, these giant grifting pages
that are working against me. I got stalkers going on, and people going
back channel and all kinds of rumor mongering. Just every single thing
in the world that could be, you know, working against me has been for a
long time. And I continue waking up every day and leaning in and
saying, 'Hey, I'm going to come out here and I am going to keep doing
the best I can to make the world a better place, and to make life
easier for all of us.' And try to teach people how to make life easier
for themselves and make better decisions about their leadership and all
of that stuff because I'm not out here trying to cover my own ass. I'm trying to get everybody's ass covered. I'm trying to bring everybody
up. And like I said, this has been going on for a decade plus now.
That, you know, these big pages that you know the other ninety-eight
and the being liberal and blah blah blah. All these big astroturf fake grassroots grifters who have no ideological commitment. Whatever, the
only thing they're interested in is pandering the people's biases and
making money. They're making money hand over fist, right? Millions and millions of dollars a year and here I still sit. Here I still sit. And
so, I don't, again, it's, I don't want to be, you know, self-pity, and
I don't want you to pity me, and I don't want you to feel sorry for me.
I want you to understand that the work I'm doing is worthwhile and it
is adding positive effects to the world and doing good and nudging the battleship of humanity a quarter degree at a time in a more sane
direction with all of your help. And I have enjoyed the privilege of
having an audience and having a platform. In spite of, you know, losing
the Obama page last year, which is 200,000 people that Facebook cut off because one of the admins was sloppy about what they were posting. And
just on and on.
I have been beating my hand against the wall for a decade and a half. Hanging on by my fingernails as they pull out of my fingers
desperately, desperately trying to stay alive and get ahead. And the
only thing I've been able to do is just barely stay alive. And I love
you all, but that has to change, and it has to change like today. And
so what I'm asking her to do, I'm not going to be here all night. I'm
going to try to get this. It's probably not going to be under fifteen,
but I'm going to try to get it under 20 minutes. What I'm asking to do
is please, please, please, please, everything I post, engage, like,
share, comment, spread it around. Tell people, I post regular
fundraising links to the PayPal and to the Linktree, into the Patreon,
and my website where I've got the shopping cart set up. And I've been
doing some other new stuff over there so people can make contributions
that are directly targeted towards like paying for Adobe software and
so on and so forth.
I desperately, desperately need all of the help I can get. And I want
to be absolutely clear. There's a lot of BS that goes on out there
about me. A lot of people talk crap behind my back and whatever. And I
don't pay attention to it much unless it gets right in my face and I
have to. There's no ulterior motive here. I'm not strung out on drugs.
I'm not out blowing money on gambling or throwing it away. None of that stuff. Right? There is no secret here. I am here to help me. I mean,
it's legitimate and authentic and grassroots and independent as anybody possibly can be. I don't take money from the Democratic Party, the way
that some of these big pages do. I don't take money from corporate
sponsors the way that some of these big pages do. I don't want other people's advertisements on my Facebook page, etc., etc., etc.
I have gone out of my way and done incredible damage in my own life
and to my own space, into my own survivability, and my health, and my
mental health. For years and years and years to try to get ahead and
get out into the world and say, hey, look, here is what we need to do.
Here is the information. We need to be more politically literate. We
need to stop being enslaved by our egos and insisting on rejecting any information that suggests to us that maybe we've been calm or been
fooled or been led astray by bad ideas or getting sucked into things
that appeal to our biases and egos rather than the truth, etcetera.
I'm out here working, doing the very best that I can, right? I've been
doing it forever. My name and my face are all over the internet for 15,
20 years. Being this hard left, anti-capitalist, political activist,
even if I wasn't over 50 years old, I would not be employable at this
point. People are not going to hire somebody when they are legally
allowed in this country, which they aren't in some countries, to go
digging through Google and digging through my Facebook history and everything else and deciding, oh, this guy is, he's a lefty. He's an anti-fascist. He's an anti-capitalist. He's going to come in and be disruptive and he's going to be a problem for us so we're not going to
hire him. Now, on the face of it, of course, that's illegal as hell.
You're not allowed to do that. It is a refuse to hire somebody over
their political beliefs but long as they're not stupid enough to tell
me to my face, that's why I'm not being hired. There's nothing I can do about it. And now I'm old.
I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm at my absolute wit's end. I
just don't know what to do anymore. What I do know is that giving up is
not an option. Not doing the work that I do here on this page and on
the website and all the political stuff and all the media and
information literacy stuff and trying to expose these frauds and
grifters that are in various spaces, including it's not just the
political space. I've been looking at all these Native American pages
that are on Facebook and stuff over the last couple of days and it's
like nine out of ten of them, all the administrators are based in like Vietnam or the Philippines. These are Native Americans. These are
thieves, you know, and they're thieves. They use the imagery and the
ideas and the symbolism of Native American culture to appeal to people
who are attracted to that and suck money out of their pockets and sell
cheap T-shirts and so on and so forth. And it's a problem in every
sector on social media. There are so many scams out there and there are
so many people that are just I don't know what happened to human
conscience. I don't know how these people do this. I don't know how
anybody can go out and just flat out lie to millions of people and
steal money and energy and time and work from real activists who are
trying to make the world better and put it in their pocket to the tune
of millions of dollars a year and live with themselves. I don't know
how people do that. And I'm not in that business. I've never been in
that business, right?
It would be so easy for me and would have been at any point in the last
7 months, right? I could easily come out and say, hey, you know,
cancer roommate, medical cause, need money, and I could spam that all
over social media and the money would come rolling in but it would be dishonest. It would be fraud. It would be crooked. It would be
everything that I stand against.
I'm asking y'all and and hilariously, I'm looking right. There's like
one person watching this stream right now.
I got 5,000 people following my page, and there's one person watching
the stream right now. And I just, you know, we gotta get over this idea
that somebody honestly asking for support is they must be the fraud.
But it's the person that's out there who's pretending to be Native
American, who's pretending to be black, who's pretending to be gay,
who's pretending to be a woman, who's pretending, pretending,
pretending, lying through their teeth, and making stuff up. But it
sounds good and it looks good on us socially when we appear to be
supporting that. We gotta break that. We have to break that thinking.
It's killing us. It is wiping us out. That is what's doing the damage
to our democracy. This is why we don't have a real left-wing in this country. This is why so many of us are struggling. This is why the
AMPTP and the automakers think that they can get away with continuing
to hurt people and threaten people and punish people for demanding
better working conditions and all the other stuff that's going on right
now with these strikes. Because we put all of our energy behind these
frauds and these grifters. And in the meantime, people like me are out
here trying to do it authentically because everybody wants authenticity except they want a highly polished and well-rehearsed and, you know,
they want authentic bullshit. And that's going to stop. That's gotta
stop. That is what's hurting us. And, you know, again, this, you know,
my personal problems and the things that I'm going through are
definitely a major problem. And if something does not happen in a huge
way in the next month or so, I really just don't know what I'm going to
do or where I'm going to be. But right now, as things stand, if
something doesn't happen very soon, I'm going to be on the streets on December 1st, and you're not going to hear from me anymore. And I would rather not see that happen for my own selfish reasons, obviously, but
also because I've still got a lot of work to do and a lot of things to
say and a lot of information and energy to put out there into the
world. And that includes, you know, supporting.
I've recently become. There's a really great page out there called Vox
Plus Guest that is run by the members of a band called Vox Plus Sticks.
Um, and they are just incredible energy for mutual aid and sharing and everything else. So, the last week or so, I've had a lot of like
independent musicians and so on and so forth which I love because I've
been one for 45 years and I want to do everything I can to support
them. I'm doing everything. Everything I know how to do. I am one
person. And I am doing the work of 10 people every single day. And I
want to be clear. I know I'm not sane. Okay? I know I'm not normal. I
know I can sometimes come off abrasive or what have you. I get that. I understand that. That's the world we live in. And that's what needs to change. That's the evolution that needs to happen is we need to start breaking this thinking. We need to start breaking our training and this commercialism and all the things that we've been, you know, taught
through advertising and marketing tricks in terms of only believing
people that are already rich and then they need more money. Like, that doesn't make any sense, right? So, I'm already again 2 minutes past
where I wanted to be. I'm going to go ahead and cut it off here pretty
quick but I want to just leave you with a thought. Please, man. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, engage with my work on my page, share, spread it around. Don't be
afraid to say to people, hey, this guy deserves your support. This guy deserves your help. He deserves your attention, right? If I can blow up
on Facebook and stay blown up, the income from that will cover me,
right? I can make up to $30,000 a month from Facebook. Right now, you
know, like I said, I got seventy bucks. Need to need to move that up
and I got a couple of folks that have been following me. Uh especially
Tony Nelson. I definitely wanted to give a shout out too because he's
been a friend of mine for a long long time back to the wrestling group
in the nineties. Um and he's just been sharing everything. And and
liking everything and leaving comments on tons of stuff. And that is
the energy I need from like all 5000 of you. I really really need that.
I need you to make that extra little effort for me. A couple of times a
day. Spend 5 minutes. Dropped by the page. Like the stuff that I've
posted. Share the video is share the articles, all that other stuff.
Get it out there. Bring people in and let's build this up because I I
need, you know, I I don't want to use the word miracle because I'm an atheist. I don't believe in miracles. But what I need is a break for
one goddamn time in my life. I just need a real break. I've been out
here doing the work and I've been doing it. You know, it's not that I
don't have a self-interest, right? I don't want to sit here. Oh, I
sacrifice myself for you. It's not all nobility if we improve the
world. My life gets better if we live in a world where we have robust
social welfare programs and we've adjusted our thinking to get away
from some of this in-grouping and the capital just the aspiration and
all that other stuff that improves my life absolutely that makes things better and helps end the situations that create where I am right now
and so I'm just please man I'm just asking you you have to send money.
I obviously, if you've got something you can, by all means, please do. There's links on the little lower third graphic there. It's got my
Patreon link in it. I think my PayPal that's circulating here and I'll
go ahead. I think the comments on the live stream have links. Uh let me
let me pop over in my little control console here and I can get the
graphic on screen for the contribution links as well. Um let me go
ahead and get my picture and picture up there on the top as well so you
can see that, okay? And then we'll and letting not restart the
introduction to this show. Uh there we go. Those are the big three
right there. The PayPal address. Uh the support page at my website and
then that cash tag which works for Cash App and Cash.me and Chime.
Um, anything you can do, whether it's a dollar or $5 or 50 or 500 or
5,000, anything up to the legal limit of nine thousand nine 999 dollars
and ninety-nine cents, I need it. I need it because even when I get
this housing situation and stabilization problem solved, I'm still
working on a ten-year-old computer. I'm still using this horrible,
cheap, 1080P webcam that I've had for 10 years. I don't have the right microphone. If I touch this thing the wrong way, the microphone
connection goes out because it's worn and it's cheap and it needs to be replaced. I need your help. Please. If nothing else, if nothing else,
please get active on the engagement. Like, share, comment, subscribe,
tell other people. I am not asking you to go out there and tell all
your friends and pester them like some sort of, you know, candy sale at school that your kid is doing, but it sure wouldn't hurt if 20 people
out of the 5000 folks that are following this page, you know, if 20 or
30 people every week just shared something with a little note that
says, 'Hey, this guy's pretty good at what he does. You should pay
attention to him. Maybe support him if you can.' You'd be amazed,
right? That message that went viral last week, that thing sat for, you
know, almost a week before anybody noticed it and then somewhere along
the line, somebody picked it up and shared it in the right place and it
went nuts, and then all of a sudden it starts to build on itself. Then,
I see people like Lala Larkas and David Gerald and people with big,
huge platforms are also sharing, and that again, it just reinforces and reinforces itself and it becomes sort of a positive feedback mechanism.
If I can get to the point where I'm reaching, you know, 5,000 people a
day on a regular basis even, then, all of a sudden we have some hope.
But right now it's kind of, man, I just don't know. I just don't know
what's going to happen. And you know, we're not even talking about, you know, mental illness issues and majority, all that other stuff that I
deal with anyway. It's not, that's not part of the conversation right
now. This is just a human being who's out here trying to do the right
thing as best they can. It has been for a long time and unfortunately,
what I do works against the business model of nearly everybody else
that is doing this kind of thing including occupied Democrats,
including the other ninety-eight. Any big page that you can think of,
you know, the Jojo from Jersey and the Brooklyn dad and the really
American. All of these pages are backed by major political party money
and they're crushing me and they're crushing people like me. And the
only way that's going to stop is if we, the people, you and I, we, the people engage and work together and push so that people like me have
the floor and people like them, the grifters, the fakes, the frauds,
the astroturfers, lose their floor. They don't deserve to have that platform. So, and I think that's where I'm going to cut it off. So,
thank you very much. I appreciate everybody watching. If you can help, please do. You can send stars through Facebook if you want to. All that stuff that's on my website and then the PayPal, the Patreon, I just set
up a CoFi coffee, however you pronounce it, account, and all of those
links are actually in the about section of this Facebook page, and you
can check all that stuff out. And in the meantime, thanks a whole lot.
I love you. Much power to all the people. I will continue, as I have
most of my life, to be in every possible way, a champion of the
oppressed and the underdogs until I cannot raise my head anymore. That
is what I do and that is what I'm going to do until I die. I would just rather that didn't happen soon. So, if you can do what you can, please
do. And that's it for me. Thank you very much. Have a great night, and
I'll see you soon. Keep an eye on the page. By the way, oh hey, I
almost forgot too. I started a group that's attached to the Facebook
page now. So, make sure you're joining that and taking part in that so
that I can that is I'm going to try to move like alittle short kind of almost personal status messages and things like that.
I'm going to try to move all that stuff over there so that the content
on this page is focused on 'quote unquote' real content. Um, Facebook doesn't necessarily penalize you for posting a lot, but it's just a
math thing, right? If I'm putting up 100 or 120 messages a day, then a smaller percentage of those messages are going to show up on people's timelines because if they didn't, you would have nothing but John
Andrea on your timeline, and Facebook doesn't want that unless I pay
them, which I can't afford to do. Um, so get in the group. Um, get that taken care of. It's linked. There's actually, I think I pinned the post
on the page. Uh, so if you look at the John Henry US page here on
Facebook, right at the top of the feed there, you should see a post
that has a link to the new group. Just go there, hit the join button.
I'll get you, I'll get you, you know, authorized in and there as
quickly as I can. Um, and just, you know, pay attention. Do what you
can. I know it's not the rousing Norman race speech everybody came for,
but this is the reality that we're in, and I'm not, I'm not a song and dance. I'm not going to put on some bullshit act. Uh, pretend to be something I'm not. Hey, everybody. Here's a big smile for you. Let's
all be popular and let's talk about keywords and let's appeal to your
biases so that you think I'm special and cool, and then you really like being, hey, did I mention that I'm, you know, native and black and blah
blah blah. No, I'm just not going to do that. Going to do that. The
work that I do is worthy of your support. There is, I don't have any question about that. It's just a matter of getting through this induced
sort of, you know, I call it the crass ceiling where where we as, you
know, American consumers have been trained for years to assume that
anybody who's poor is poor because they are, you know, some kind of
loser and jerk and they deserve it. Uh, and anybody who's rich deserves
to have more money. Let's break that thinking and let's start here,
okay? Please, thank you. Have a good night.

Alright, kids. How are you? I don't know what you're looking at. I
don't know what we're looking at. But here I am. Uh, we are trying to
make this live stream happen and I hope let me do something obvious
so I can see what my lag is like here. Make sure I'm going to watch
my stream. Okay. Looks like I'm good. Uh, so here I am. Uh, need to
chat with you all about some ongoing situations. Let me wind things
back up to sort of the beginning back in late February, the March of
this year.
Uh, I had been living in this horrible bedbug filled dope-filled mess
of a trap house and things had got to the point where I just couldn't
work. The landlord was uncooperative. I had roommates that were
seriously problematic and damaging property and everything else. So,
I was on the streets for a minute, actually in a hotel. Thanks to the
generous assistance of friends. While I was staying at the hotel, I
was
actually on my last day and in the lobby trying to figure out how I
was
going to pay for one more night and I ran into a friend of mine that
I had known back in high school. Haven't seen her for about 35 years.
We got to talking. As it turned out, she is dealing with stage 4
terminal cancer in her lungs and her brain. She needed somebody to
stay with her. She had a spare room and she needed somebody here to
help out and basically just to be here in case she had some kind of
medical problem and couldn't reach the phone, right? So, I've been
here and I've been able to take advantage of a lot of time. I
absolutely do not want to get into like running my roommate down.
It's not what this is about. But the situation as it stands right now
is she's been on disability and on disability, you have a grace
period. I think it's nine months where you're still allowed to earn
money and they don't penalize you or
threaten to take you off the disability. Unfortunately, that grace
period is about to end. With that grace period ending, she's still
reasonably healthy and has been working and so on and so forth but
that's going to have to end because if she continues working then her
disability gets cut off and that's her health care and her medical
insurance. Her employer's insurance doesn't cover chemotherapy,
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So it's this big, snarled, tangled mess
of who knows how you're going to deal with this, right? So she came
to me today and you know, the deadline of December 1st has been
impending for a time for 9 months. We knew this was coming. Excuse
me. But what we didn't know was what was going to have to be done to
deal with it. Now the problem is if I'm living here all of my income
also counts against her disability. I can't get any of that stuff. I
don't qualify for any of that stuff. What little I could maybe
qualify for has years long waiting lists including housing and
everything else because I have
my own problems, right? It's been working out alright but
unfortunately, it is not going to continue working alright.
I have to leave. I have to be out of here December first because I
can't be here. If I am here, that jeopardizes her access to medical
care and her disability. Again, I don't want to get into the business
of running my roommate down but my first response to that of course
was, let's raise some money and get you a bank built up so we can
make sure your property taxes are covered and everything else. We'll
do a third party. That way, you're not handling the money and then it
can be
treated as a gift. It doesn't come against your disability and all
that
other stuff. I actually went so far. I started setting up a GoFundMe.
Um and then I went and said, well, I made a picture to do this
fundraiser and then it was, well, I didn't ask you for that. I didn't
need the help. I don't want the help. That's not, I don't want any of
that.
Okay. Well, that means that there's nothing I can do and now I have
to worry about helping myself. Um I there's there's literally my
hands are
tied. I don't want to approach the situation like this. Uh I don't I
this is not what I want to be doing. Uh on any level. Uh I don't want
to move out. I don't want to leave her here by herself to to deal
with all this stuff. Um but it clearly the situation is I've got to
go. Um and so that's that's where we're at right now. Uh and I'm a
little freaked out and I'm very very scared and very very worried. Um
I've been slowly you know trying to build this page up and and trying
to to to reach out to to everybody. Uh and let you know. Like we've
gotta we've gotta step on this and and some people have and I I
seriously appreciate that. Um but it's also you know it's it's 20
bucks. It's you
know, 50 bucks if I'm lucky. Um and and my monthly income is still,
you
know, on the order of three, $400 Um right now, I'm on Facebook's
bonus
program. Uh they added me to that a couple of months ago And I had
that
post go viral here about a week and a half ago. Uh before it was
shamelessly stolen by the other ninety-eight percent. Um I ended up
with about 850, 000 views on that. Like 130000 likes. Added a couple
of
hundred people to to my followers on on this page. Uh and the the
money
translation from that worked out to about well, I was at about 12
bucks
when it started. So, it's been like sixty-two, $63 that came on to
that
and that's awesome. I mean, I'm not trying to not appreciate that and
I'm not trying to not appreciate the people who have helped out, you
know, some folks have been helping for years, right? There's there's,
you know, I've got patrons who have been signed up for a couple of
years at five bucks a piece. I've got a two patrons over there that
are
50 bucks a month and they've been on there one one friend of mine has
been off and on for a couple of years. Uh another friend who's also,
you know, a reader on this page has been there at fifty bucks since
the
beginning of this year and all of that helps and I appreciate. I
would not be able to maintain even my Adobe subscription. Uh if if
not for that but it's also not survivable. Um and now, I am in a
really really difficult position. Uh in that, I don't know how I'm
going to live. I don't know how I'm going to survive. I don't know
where I'm going to go. I don't know how I'm going to get there. Uh
the the externally sourced drama that originally resulted in me, you
know, being having to
move into that boarding house in the first place. Uh that was, you
know, my my loving family and thanks to that. I have an eviction on
my record. So, I can't just jump out and go, oh, hey, here's, you
know, couple hundred bucks. Uh, security deposit a month's rent,
you're going
to let me move in, right? Um, because I've got an eviction on my
record. Um, and, and we all know that the housing situation out there
is absolutely horrible. Anyway, landlords are charging, you know,
two, three months worth of rent all kinds of ridiculous security
deposits and fees and everything else. It's it's not easy for anybody
out there right now to do to find a place to be, okay? Why I've done
this video and and why I'm I'm doing this video all of the top of my
head is to try to reach out and let you all know that the time is
now. Um the this
this entire situation has to change. I have to get stabilized.
I have to grow my audience to the point of being able to sustain.
I've been out here for, you know, the 15 years doing this stuff, and
I've been just absolutely crushed by, you know, these giant grifting
pages that are working against me. I got stalkers going on, and
people going back channel and all kinds of rumor mongering. Just
every single thing in the world that could be, you know, working
against me has been for a
long time. And I continue waking up every day and leaning in and
saying, 'Hey, I'm going to come out here and I am going to keep doing
the best I can to make the world a better place, and to make life
easier for all of us.' And try to teach people how to make life
easier for themselves and make better decisions about their
leadership and all
of that stuff because I'm not out here trying to cover my own ass.
I'm trying to get everybody's ass covered. I'm trying to bring
everybody up. And like I said, this has been going on for a decade
plus now. That, you know, these big pages that you know the other
ninety-eight and the being liberal and blah blah blah. All these big
astroturf fake grassroots grifters who have no ideological
commitment. Whatever, the only thing they're interested in is
pandering the people's biases and making money. They're making money
hand over fist, right? Millions and millions of dollars a year and
here I still sit. Here I still sit. And so, I don't, again, it's, I
don't want to be, you know, self-pity, and I don't want you to pity
me, and I don't want you to feel sorry for me.
I want you to understand that the work I'm doing is worthwhile and it
is adding positive effects to the world and doing good and nudging
the battleship of humanity a quarter degree at a time in a more sane
direction with all of your help. And I have enjoyed the privilege of
having an audience and having a platform. In spite of, you know,
losing
the Obama page last year, which is 200,000 people that Facebook cut
off
because one of the admins was sloppy about what they were posting.
And just on and on.
I have been beating my hand against the wall for a decade and a half.
Hanging on by my fingernails as they pull out of my fingers
desperately, desperately trying to stay alive and get ahead. And the
only thing I've been able to do is just barely stay alive. And I love
you all, but that has to change, and it has to change like today. And
so what I'm asking her to do, I'm not going to be here all night. I'm
going to try to get this. It's probably not going to be under
fifteen, but I'm going to try to get it under 20 minutes. What I'm
asking to do is please, please, please, please, everything I post,
engage, like, share, comment, spread it around. Tell people, I post
regular fundraising links to the PayPal and to the Linktree, into the
Patreon, and my website where I've got the shopping cart set up. And
I've been doing some other new stuff over there so people can make
contributions that are directly targeted towards like paying for
Adobe software and so on and so forth.
I desperately, desperately need all of the help I can get. And I want
to be absolutely clear. There's a lot of BS that goes on out there
about me. A lot of people talk crap behind my back and whatever. And
I don't pay attention to it much unless it gets right in my face and
I have to. There's no ulterior motive here. I'm not strung out on
drugs. I'm not out blowing money on gambling or throwing it away.
None of that
stuff. Right? There is no secret here. I am here to help me. I mean,
it's legitimate and authentic and grassroots and independent as
anybody
possibly can be. I don't take money from the Democratic Party, the
way that some of these big pages do. I don't take money from
corporate sponsors the way that some of these big pages do. I don't
want other people's advertisements on my Facebook page, etc., etc.,
etc.
I have gone out of my way and done incredible damage in my own life
and to my own space, into my own survivability, and my health, and my
mental health. For years and years and years to try to get ahead and
get out into the world and say, hey, look, here is what we need to
do. Here is the information. We need to be more politically literate.
We need to stop being enslaved by our egos and insisting on rejecting
any information that suggests to us that maybe we've been calm or
been fooled or been led astray by bad ideas or getting sucked into
things that appeal to our biases and egos rather than the truth,
etcetera.
I'm out here working, doing the very best that I can, right? I've
been doing it forever. My name and my face are all over the internet
for 15,
20 years. Being this hard left, anti-capitalist, political activist,
even if I wasn't over 50 years old, I would not be employable at this
point. People are not going to hire somebody when they are legally
allowed in this country, which they aren't in some countries, to go
digging through Google and digging through my Facebook history and
everything else and deciding, oh, this guy is, he's a lefty. He's an
anti-fascist. He's an anti-capitalist. He's going to come in and be
disruptive and he's going to be a problem for us so we're not going
to hire him. Now, on the face of it, of course, that's illegal as
hell. You're not allowed to do that. It is a refuse to hire somebody
over their political beliefs but long as they're not stupid enough to
tell me to my face, that's why I'm not being hired. There's nothing I
can do
about it. And now I'm old.
I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm at my absolute wit's end. I
just don't know what to do anymore. What I do know is that giving up
is
not an option. Not doing the work that I do here on this page and on
the website and all the political stuff and all the media and
information literacy stuff and trying to expose these frauds and
grifters that are in various spaces, including it's not just the
political space. I've been looking at all these Native American pages
that are on Facebook and stuff over the last couple of days and it's
like nine out of ten of them, all the administrators are based in
like Vietnam or the Philippines. These are Native Americans. These
are thieves, you know, and they're thieves. They use the imagery and
the ideas and the symbolism of Native American culture to appeal to
people who are attracted to that and suck money out of their pockets
and sell cheap T-shirts and so on and so forth. And it's a problem in
every sector on social media. There are so many scams out there and
there are
so many people that are just I don't know what happened to human
conscience. I don't know how these people do this. I don't know how
anybody can go out and just flat out lie to millions of people and
steal money and energy and time and work from real activists who are
trying to make the world better and put it in their pocket to the
tune of millions of dollars a year and live with themselves. I don't
know how people do that. And I'm not in that business. I've never
been in that business, right?
It would be so easy for me and would have been at any point in the
last
7 months, right? I could easily come out and say, hey, you know,
cancer roommate, medical cause, need money, and I could spam that all
over social media and the money would come rolling in but it would be
dishonest. It would be fraud. It would be crooked. It would be
everything that I stand against.
I'm asking y'all and and hilariously, I'm looking right. There's like
one person watching this stream right now.
I got 5,000 people following my page, and there's one person watching
the stream right now. And I just, you know, we gotta get over this
idea
that somebody honestly asking for support is they must be the fraud.
But it's the person that's out there who's pretending to be Native
American, who's pretending to be black, who's pretending to be gay,
who's pretending to be a woman, who's pretending, pretending,
pretending, lying through their teeth, and making stuff up. But it
sounds good and it looks good on us socially when we appear to be
supporting that. We gotta break that. We have to break that thinking.
It's killing us. It is wiping us out. That is what's doing the damage
to our democracy. This is why we don't have a real left-wing in this
country. This is why so many of us are struggling. This is why the
AMPTP and the automakers think that they can get away with continuing
to hurt people and threaten people and punish people for demanding
better working conditions and all the other stuff that's going on
right
now with these strikes. Because we put all of our energy behind these
frauds and these grifters. And in the meantime, people like me are
out here trying to do it authentically because everybody wants
authenticity
except they want a highly polished and well-rehearsed and, you know,
they want authentic bullshit. And that's going to stop. That's gotta
stop. That is what's hurting us. And, you know, again, this, you
know, my personal problems and the things that I'm going through are
definitely a major problem. And if something does not happen in a
huge way in the next month or so, I really just don't know what I'm
going to
do or where I'm going to be. But right now, as things stand, if
something doesn't happen very soon, I'm going to be on the streets on
December 1st, and you're not going to hear from me anymore. And I
would
rather not see that happen for my own selfish reasons, obviously, but
also because I've still got a lot of work to do and a lot of things
to say and a lot of information and energy to put out there into the
world. And that includes, you know, supporting.
I've recently become. There's a really great page out there called
Vox Plus Guest that is run by the members of a band called Vox Plus
Sticks.
Um, and they are just incredible energy for mutual aid and sharing
and everything else. So, the last week or so, I've had a lot of like
independent musicians and so on and so forth which I love because
I've been one for 45 years and I want to do everything I can to
support them. I'm doing everything. Everything I know how to do. I am
one person. And I am doing the work of 10 people every single day.
And I want to be clear. I know I'm not sane. Okay? I know I'm not
normal. I know I can sometimes come off abrasive or what have you. I
get that. I understand that. That's the world we live in. And that's
what needs to change. That's the evolution that needs to happen is we
need to start breaking this thinking. We need to start breaking our
training and this
commercialism and all the things that we've been, you know, taught
through advertising and marketing tricks in terms of only believing
people that are already rich and then they need more money. Like,
that doesn't make any sense, right? So, I'm already again 2 minutes
past where I wanted to be. I'm going to go ahead and cut it off here
pretty quick but I want to just leave you with a thought. Please,
man. Please,
please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please,
please,
engage with my work on my page, share, spread it around. Don't be
afraid to say to people, hey, this guy deserves your support. This
guy deserves your help. He deserves your attention, right? If I can
blow up
on Facebook and stay blown up, the income from that will cover me,
right? I can make up to $30,000 a month from Facebook. Right now, you
know, like I said, I got seventy bucks. Need to need to move that up
and I got a couple of folks that have been following me. Uh
especially Tony Nelson. I definitely wanted to give a shout out too
because he's been a friend of mine for a long long time back to the
wrestling group in the nineties. Um and he's just been sharing
everything. And and liking everything and leaving comments on tons of
stuff. And that is the energy I need from like all 5000 of you. I
really really need that.
I need you to make that extra little effort for me. A couple of times
a
day. Spend 5 minutes. Dropped by the page. Like the stuff that I've
posted. Share the video is share the articles, all that other stuff.
Get it out there. Bring people in and let's build this up because I I
need, you know, I I don't want to use the word miracle because I'm an
atheist. I don't believe in miracles. But what I need is a break for
one goddamn time in my life. I just need a real break. I've been out
here doing the work and I've been doing it. You know, it's not that I
don't have a self-interest, right? I don't want to sit here. Oh, I
sacrifice myself for you. It's not all nobility if we improve the
world. My life gets better if we live in a world where we have robust
social welfare programs and we've adjusted our thinking to get away
from some of this in-grouping and the capital just the aspiration and
all that other stuff that improves my life absolutely that makes
things
better and helps end the situations that create where I am right now
and so I'm just please man I'm just asking you you have to send
money. I obviously, if you've got something you can, by all means,
please do. There's links on the little lower third graphic there.
It's got my Patreon link in it. I think my PayPal that's circulating
here and I'll go ahead. I think the comments on the live stream have
links. Uh let me
let me pop over in my little control console here and I can get the
graphic on screen for the contribution links as well. Um let me go
ahead and get my picture and picture up there on the top as well so
you
can see that, okay? And then we'll and letting not restart the
introduction to this show. Uh there we go. Those are the big three
right there. The PayPal address. Uh the support page at my website
and then that cash tag which works for Cash App and Cash.me and
Chime.
Um, anything you can do, whether it's a dollar or $5 or 50 or 500 or
5,000, anything up to the legal limit of nine thousand nine 999
dollars
and ninety-nine cents, I need it. I need it because even when I get
this housing situation and stabilization problem solved, I'm still
working on a ten-year-old computer. I'm still using this horrible,
cheap, 1080P webcam that I've had for 10 years. I don't have the
right microphone. If I touch this thing the wrong way, the microphone
connection goes out because it's worn and it's cheap and it needs to
be
replaced. I need your help. Please. If nothing else, if nothing else,
please get active on the engagement. Like, share, comment, subscribe,
tell other people. I am not asking you to go out there and tell all
your friends and pester them like some sort of, you know, candy sale
at
school that your kid is doing, but it sure wouldn't hurt if 20 people
out of the 5000 folks that are following this page, you know, if 20
or 30 people every week just shared something with a little note that
says, 'Hey, this guy's pretty good at what he does. You should pay
attention to him. Maybe support him if you can.' You'd be amazed,
right? That message that went viral last week, that thing sat for,
you know, almost a week before anybody noticed it and then somewhere
along the line, somebody picked it up and shared it in the right
place and it
went nuts, and then all of a sudden it starts to build on itself.
Then,
I see people like Lala Larkas and David Gerald and people with big,
huge platforms are also sharing, and that again, it just reinforces
and
reinforces itself and it becomes sort of a positive feedback
mechanism.
If I can get to the point where I'm reaching, you know, 5,000 people
a day on a regular basis even, then, all of a sudden we have some
hope. But right now it's kind of, man, I just don't know. I just
don't know what's going to happen. And you know, we're not even
talking about, you
know, mental illness issues and majority, all that other stuff that I
deal with anyway. It's not, that's not part of the conversation right
now. This is just a human being who's out here trying to do the right
thing as best they can. It has been for a long time and
unfortunately, what I do works against the business model of nearly
everybody else that is doing this kind of thing including occupied
Democrats, including the other ninety-eight. Any big page that you
can think of, you know, the Jojo from Jersey and the Brooklyn dad and
the really American. All of these pages are backed by major political
party money and they're crushing me and they're crushing people like
me. And the only way that's going to stop is if we, the people, you
and I, we, the people engage and work together and push so that
people like me have the floor and people like them, the grifters, the
fakes, the frauds, the astroturfers, lose their floor. They don't
deserve to have that platform. So, and I think that's where I'm going
to cut it off. So, thank you very much. I appreciate everybody
watching. If you can help, please do. You can send stars through
Facebook if you want to. All that
stuff that's on my website and then the PayPal, the Patreon, I just
set
up a CoFi coffee, however you pronounce it, account, and all of those
links are actually in the about section of this Facebook page, and
you can check all that stuff out. And in the meantime, thanks a whole
lot. I love you. Much power to all the people. I will continue, as I
have most of my life, to be in every possible way, a champion of the
oppressed and the underdogs until I cannot raise my head anymore.
That is what I do and that is what I'm going to do until I die. I
would just
rather that didn't happen soon. So, if you can do what you can,
please do. And that's it for me. Thank you very much. Have a great
night, and I'll see you soon. Keep an eye on the page. By the way, oh
hey, I almost forgot too. I started a group that's attached to the
Facebook page now. So, make sure you're joining that and taking part
in that so that I can that is I'm going to try to move like alittle
short kind of almost personal status messages and things like that.
I'm going to try to move all that stuff over there so that the
content on this page is focused on 'quote unquote' real content. Um,
Facebook doesn't necessarily penalize you for posting a lot, but it's
just a math thing, right? If I'm putting up 100 or 120 messages a
day, then a smaller percentage of those messages are going to show up
on people's timelines because if they didn't, you would have nothing
but John Andrea on your timeline, and Facebook doesn't want that
unless I pay them, which I can't afford to do. Um, so get in the
group. Um, get that
taken care of. It's linked. There's actually, I think I pinned the
post
on the page. Uh, so if you look at the John Henry US page here on
Facebook, right at the top of the feed there, you should see a post
that has a link to the new group. Just go there, hit the join button.
I'll get you, I'll get you, you know, authorized in and there as
quickly as I can. Um, and just, you know, pay attention. Do what you
can. I know it's not the rousing Norman race speech everybody came
for,
but this is the reality that we're in, and I'm not, I'm not a song
and dance. I'm not going to put on some bullshit act. Uh, pretend to
be something I'm not. Hey, everybody. Here's a big smile for you.
Let's all be popular and let's talk about keywords and let's appeal
to your biases so that you think I'm special and cool, and then you
really like
being, hey, did I mention that I'm, you know, native and black and
blah
blah blah. No, I'm just not going to do that. Going to do that. The
work that I do is worthy of your support. There is, I don't have any
question about that. It's just a matter of getting through this
induced
sort of, you know, I call it the crass ceiling where where we as, you
know, American consumers have been trained for years to assume that
anybody who's poor is poor because they are, you know, some kind of
loser and jerk and they deserve it. Uh, and anybody who's rich
deserves
to have more money. Let's break that thinking and let's start here,
okay? Please, thank you. Have a good night.
Crunch time!! John Henry Dejong has over two months notice. Two months
of a full time minimum wage job is at least $300/week, and he has nine
weeks.
$2700 could get him into a flop house for sure!!! Nah- crazy
thoughts. For sure McDs is taking time to search potential employees
for radical left behavior. No way are they going to have a guy who can
topple capitalism on that fryalator- no sir-ee bob. On the one hand he complains no one is watching/ seeing/ sharing, on the other he is so
big time super dangerous that everyone is out to get him. So no. No
job is possible. Surely the best course of action is pushing the exact
same thing that has not worked for over 20 years because THIS time-
THIS time it's gonna happen.

Alright, kids. How are you? I don't know what you're looking at. I
don't know what we're looking at. But here I am. Uh, we are trying to
make this live stream happen and I hope let me do something obvious so
I can see what my lag is like here. Make sure I'm going to watch my
stream. Okay. Looks like I'm good. Uh, so here I am. Uh, need to chat
with you all about some ongoing situations. Let me wind things back up
to sort of the beginning back in late February, the March of this year.
Uh, I had been living in this horrible bedbug filled dope-filled mess
of a trap house and things had got to the point where I just couldn't
work.
The landlord was uncooperative.
I had roommates that were
seriously problematic and damaging property and everything else. So, I
was on the streets for a minute, actually in a hotel.
Thanks to the
generous assistance of friends. While I was staying at the hotel, I was actually on my last day and in the lobby trying to figure out how I was
going to pay for one more night and I ran into a friend of mine that I
had known back in high school. Haven't seen her for about 35 years. We
got to talking. As it turned out, she is dealing with stage 4 terminal
cancer in her lungs and her brain. She needed somebody to stay with
her. She had a spare room and she needed somebody here to help out and basically just to be here in case she had some kind of medical problem
and couldn't reach the phone, right? So, I've been here and I've been
able to take advantage of a lot of time.
I absolutely do not want to
get into like running my roommate down. It's not what this is about.
But the situation as it stands right now is she's been on disability
and on disability, you have a grace period. I think it's nine months
where you're still allowed to earn money and they don't penalize you or threaten to take you off the disability. Unfortunately, that grace
period is about to end. With that grace period ending, she's still
reasonably healthy and has been working and so on and so forth but
that's going to have to end because if she continues working then her disability gets cut off and that's her health care and her medical
insurance. Her employer's insurance doesn't cover chemotherapy,
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So it's this big, snarled, tangled mess
of who knows how you're going to deal with this, right? So she came to
me today and you know, the deadline of December 1st has been impending
for a time for 9 months. We knew this was coming. Excuse me. But what
we didn't know was what was going to have to be done to deal with it.
Now the problem is if I'm living here all of my income also counts
against her disability.
I can't get any of that stuff. I don't qualify
for any of that stuff.
What little I could maybe qualify for has years
long waiting lists including housing and everything else because I have
my own problems, right?
It's been working out alright but
unfortunately, it is not going to continue working alright.
I have to leave. I have to be out of here December first because I
can't be here. If I am here, that jeopardizes her access to medical
care and her disability.
Again, I don't want to get into the business
of running my roommate down but my first response to that of course
was, let's raise some money and get you a bank built up so we can make
sure your property taxes are covered and everything else. We'll do a
third party. That way, you're not handling the money and then it can be treated as a gift. It doesn't come against your disability and all that
other stuff. I actually went so far. I started setting up a GoFundMe.
Um and then I went and said, well, I made a picture to do this
fundraiser and then it was, well, I didn't ask you for that. I didn't
need the help. I don't want the help. That's not, I don't want any of
that.
Okay. Well, that means that there's nothing I can do and now I have to
worry about helping myself. Um I there's there's literally my hands are
tied. I don't want to approach the situation like this. Uh I don't I
this is not what I want to be doing. Uh on any level. Uh I don't want
to move out. I don't want to leave her here by herself to to deal with
all this stuff. Um but it clearly the situation is I've got to go. Um
and so that's that's where we're at right now. Uh and I'm a little
freaked out and I'm very very scared and very very worried. Um I've
been slowly you know trying to build this page up and and trying to to
to reach out to to everybody. Uh and let you know. Like we've gotta
we've gotta step on this and and some people have and I I seriously appreciate that. Um but it's also you know it's it's 20 bucks. It's you
know, 50 bucks if I'm lucky. Um and and my monthly income is still, you
know, on the order of three, $400 Um right now, I'm on Facebook's bonus program. Uh they added me to that a couple of months ago And I had that
post go viral here about a week and a half ago. Uh before it was
shamelessly stolen by the other ninety-eight percent. Um I ended up
with about 850, 000 views on that. Like 130000 likes. Added a couple of hundred people to to my followers on on this page. Uh and the the money translation from that worked out to about well, I was at about 12 bucks
when it started. So, it's been like sixty-two, $63 that came on to that
and that's awesome. I mean, I'm not trying to not appreciate that and
I'm not trying to not appreciate the people who have helped out, you
know, some folks have been helping for years, right? There's there's,
you know, I've got patrons who have been signed up for a couple of
years at five bucks a piece. I've got a two patrons over there that are
50 bucks a month and they've been on there one one friend of mine has
been off and on for a couple of years. Uh another friend who's also,
you know, a reader on this page has been there at fifty bucks since the beginning of this year and all of that helps and I appreciate. I would
not be able to maintain even my Adobe subscription.
Uh if if not for
that but it's also not survivable. Um and now, I am in a really really difficult position. Uh in that, I don't know how I'm going to live. I
don't know how I'm going to survive. I don't know where I'm going to
go. I don't know how I'm going to get there. Uh the the externally
sourced drama that originally resulted in me, you know, being having to
move into that boarding house in the first place. Uh that was, you
know, my my loving family and thanks to that. I have an eviction on my record.
So, I can't just jump out and go, oh, hey, here's, you know,
couple hundred bucks. Uh, security deposit a month's rent, you're going
to let me move in, right? Um, because I've got an eviction on my
record. Um, and, and we all know that the housing situation out there
is absolutely horrible. Anyway, landlords are charging, you know, two,
three months worth of rent all kinds of ridiculous security deposits
and fees and everything else. It's it's not easy for anybody out there
right now to do to find a place to be, okay? Why I've done this video
and and why I'm I'm doing this video all of the top of my head is to
try to reach out and let you all know that the time is now. Um the this
this entire situation has to change. I have to get stabilized.
I have to grow my audience to the point of being able to sustain. I've
been out here for, you know, the 15 years doing this stuff, and I've
been just absolutely crushed by, you know, these giant grifting pages
that are working against me. I got stalkers going on, and people going
back channel and all kinds of rumor mongering. Just every single thing
in the world that could be, you know, working against me has been for a
long time. And I continue waking up every day and leaning in and
saying, 'Hey, I'm going to come out here and I am going to keep doing
the best I can to make the world a better place, and to make life
easier for all of us.' And try to teach people how to make life easier
for themselves and make better decisions about their leadership and all
of that stuff because I'm not out here trying to cover my own ass. I'm
trying to get everybody's ass covered. I'm trying to bring everybody
up. And like I said, this has been going on for a decade plus now.
That, you know, these big pages that you know the other ninety-eight
and the being liberal and blah blah blah. All these big astroturf fake grassroots grifters who have no ideological commitment. Whatever, the
only thing they're interested in is pandering the people's biases and
making money. They're making money hand over fist, right? Millions and millions of dollars a year and here I still sit. Here I still sit. And
so, I don't, again, it's, I don't want to be, you know, self-pity, and
I don't want you to pity me, and I don't want you to feel sorry for me.
I want you to understand that the work I'm doing is worthwhile and it
is adding positive effects to the world and doing good and nudging the battleship of humanity a quarter degree at a time in a more sane
direction with all of your help. And I have enjoyed the privilege of
having an audience and having a platform. In spite of, you know, losing
the Obama page last year, which is 200,000 people that Facebook cut off because one of the admins was sloppy about what they were posting. And
just on and on.
I have been beating my hand against the wall for a decade and a half.
Hanging on by my fingernails as they pull out of my fingers
desperately, desperately trying to stay alive and get ahead. And the
only thing I've been able to do is just barely stay alive. And I love
you all, but that has to change, and it has to change like today. And
so what I'm asking her to do, I'm not going to be here all night. I'm
going to try to get this. It's probably not going to be under fifteen,
but I'm going to try to get it under 20 minutes. What I'm asking to do
is please, please, please, please, everything I post, engage, like,
share, comment, spread it around. Tell people, I post regular
fundraising links to the PayPal and to the Linktree, into the Patreon,
and my website where I've got the shopping cart set up. And I've been
doing some other new stuff over there so people can make contributions
that are directly targeted towards like paying for Adobe software and
so on and so forth.
I desperately, desperately need all of the help I can get. And I want
to be absolutely clear. There's a lot of BS that goes on out there
about me. A lot of people talk crap behind my back and whatever. And I
don't pay attention to it much unless it gets right in my face and I
have to. There's no ulterior motive here. I'm not strung out on drugs.
I'm not out blowing money on gambling or throwing it away.
None of that
stuff. Right? There is no secret here. I am here to help me. I mean,
it's legitimate and authentic and grassroots and independent as anybody possibly can be. I don't take money from the Democratic Party, the way
that some of these big pages do. I don't take money from corporate
sponsors the way that some of these big pages do. I don't want other
people's advertisements on my Facebook page, etc., etc., etc.
I have gone out of my way and done incredible damage in my own life
and to my own space, into my own survivability, and my health, and my
mental health. For years and years and years to try to get ahead and
get out into the world and say, hey, look, here is what we need to do.
Here is the information. We need to be more politically literate. We
need to stop being enslaved by our egos and insisting on rejecting any information that suggests to us that maybe we've been calm or been
fooled or been led astray by bad ideas or getting sucked into things
that appeal to our biases and egos rather than the truth, etcetera.
I'm out here working, doing the very best that I can, right? I've been
doing it forever. My name and my face are all over the internet for 15,
20 years. Being this hard left, anti-capitalist, political activist,
even if I wasn't over 50 years old, I would not be employable at this
point.
People are not going to hire somebody when they are legally
allowed in this country, which they aren't in some countries, to go
digging through Google and digging through my Facebook history and
everything else and deciding, oh, this guy is, he's a lefty. He's an anti-fascist. He's an anti-capitalist. He's going to come in and be disruptive and he's going to be a problem for us so we're not going to
hire him. Now, on the face of it, of course, that's illegal as hell.
You're not allowed to do that. It is a refuse to hire somebody over
their political beliefs but long as they're not stupid enough to tell
me to my face, that's why I'm not being hired. There's nothing I can do
about it. And now I'm old.
I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm at my absolute wit's end. I
just don't know what to do anymore. What I do know is that giving up is
not an option. Not doing the work that I do here on this page and on
the website and all the political stuff and all the media and
information literacy stuff and trying to expose these frauds and
grifters that are in various spaces, including it's not just the
political space. I've been looking at all these Native American pages
that are on Facebook and stuff over the last couple of days and it's
like nine out of ten of them, all the administrators are based in like Vietnam or the Philippines. These are Native Americans. These are
thieves, you know, and they're thieves. They use the imagery and the
ideas and the symbolism of Native American culture to appeal to people
who are attracted to that and suck money out of their pockets and sell
cheap T-shirts and so on and so forth. And it's a problem in every
sector on social media. There are so many scams out there and there are
so many people that are just I don't know what happened to human
conscience. I don't know how these people do this. I don't know how
anybody can go out and just flat out lie to millions of people and
steal money and energy and time and work from real activists who are
trying to make the world better and put it in their pocket to the tune
of millions of dollars a year and live with themselves. I don't know
how people do that. And I'm not in that business. I've never been in
that business, right?
It would be so easy for me and would have been at any point in the last
7 months, right? I could easily come out and say, hey, you know,
cancer roommate, medical cause, need money, and I could spam that all
over social media and the money would come rolling in but it would be dishonest. It would be fraud. It would be crooked. It would be
everything that I stand against.
I'm asking y'all and and hilariously, I'm looking right. There's like
one person watching this stream right now.
I got 5,000 people following my page, and there's one person watching
the stream right now. And I just, you know, we gotta get over this idea
that somebody honestly asking for support is they must be the fraud.
But it's the person that's out there who's pretending to be Native
American, who's pretending to be black,
who's pretending to be gay,
who's pretending to be a woman,
who's pretending, pretending,
pretending, lying through their teeth, and making stuff up. But it
sounds good and it looks good on us socially when we appear to be
supporting that. We gotta break that. We have to break that thinking.
It's killing us. It is wiping us out. That is what's doing the damage
to our democracy. This is why we don't have a real left-wing in this
country. This is why so many of us are struggling. This is why the
AMPTP and the automakers think that they can get away with continuing
to hurt people and threaten people and punish people for demanding
better working conditions and all the other stuff that's going on right
now with these strikes. Because we put all of our energy behind these
frauds and these grifters. And in the meantime, people like me are out
here trying to do it authentically because everybody wants authenticity except they want a highly polished and well-rehearsed and, you know,
they want authentic bullshit. And that's going to stop. That's gotta
stop. That is what's hurting us. And, you know, again, this, you know,
my personal problems and the things that I'm going through are
definitely a major problem. And if something does not happen in a huge
way in the next month or so, I really just don't know what I'm going to
do or where I'm going to be. But right now, as things stand, if
something doesn't happen very soon, I'm going to be on the streets on December 1st, and you're not going to hear from me anymore. And I would rather not see that happen for my own selfish reasons, obviously, but
also because I've still got a lot of work to do and a lot of things to
say and a lot of information and energy to put out there into the
world. And that includes, you know, supporting.
I've recently become. There's a really great page out there called Vox
Plus Guest that is run by the members of a band called Vox Plus Sticks.
Um, and they are just incredible energy for mutual aid and sharing and everything else. So, the last week or so, I've had a lot of like
independent musicians and so on and so forth which I love because I've
been one for 45 years and I want to do everything I can to support
them. I'm doing everything. Everything I know how to do. I am one
person. And I am doing the work of 10 people every single day. And I
want to be clear. I know I'm not sane. Okay? I know I'm not normal. I
know I can sometimes come off abrasive or what have you. I get that. I understand that. That's the world we live in. And that's what needs to change. That's the evolution that needs to happen is we need to start breaking this thinking. We need to start breaking our training and this commercialism and all the things that we've been, you know, taught
through advertising and marketing tricks in terms of only believing
people that are already rich and then they need more money. Like, that doesn't make any sense, right? So, I'm already again 2 minutes past
where I wanted to be. I'm going to go ahead and cut it off here pretty
quick but I want to just leave you with a thought. Please, man. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, engage with my work on my page, share, spread it around. Don't be
afraid to say to people, hey, this guy deserves your support. This guy deserves your help. He deserves your attention, right? If I can blow up
on Facebook and stay blown up, the income from that will cover me,
right? I can make up to $30,000 a month from Facebook. Right now, you
know, like I said, I got seventy bucks. Need to need to move that up
and I got a couple of folks that have been following me. Uh especially
Tony Nelson. I definitely wanted to give a shout out too because he's
been a friend of mine for a long long time back to the wrestling group
in the nineties. Um and he's just been sharing everything. And and
liking everything and leaving comments on tons of stuff. And that is
the energy I need from like all 5000 of you. I really really need that.
I need you to make that extra little effort for me. A couple of times a
day. Spend 5 minutes. Dropped by the page. Like the stuff that I've
posted. Share the video is share the articles, all that other stuff.
Get it out there. Bring people in and let's build this up because I I
need, you know, I I don't want to use the word miracle because I'm an atheist. I don't believe in miracles. But what I need is a break for
one goddamn time in my life. I just need a real break.
I've been out
here doing the work and I've been doing it. You know, it's not that I
don't have a self-interest, right? I don't want to sit here. Oh, I
sacrifice myself for you. It's not all nobility if we improve the
world. My life gets better if we live in a world where we have robust
social welfare programs and we've adjusted our thinking to get away
from some of this in-grouping and the capital just the aspiration and
all that other stuff that improves my life absolutely that makes things better and helps end the situations that create where I am right now
and so I'm just please man I'm just asking you you have to send money.
I obviously, if you've got something you can, by all means, please do. There's links on the little lower third graphic there. It's got my
Patreon link in it. I think my PayPal that's circulating here and I'll
go ahead. I think the comments on the live stream have links. Uh let me
let me pop over in my little control console here and I can get the
graphic on screen for the contribution links as well. Um let me go
ahead and get my picture and picture up there on the top as well so you
can see that, okay? And then we'll and letting not restart the
introduction to this show. Uh there we go. Those are the big three
right there. The PayPal address. Uh the support page at my website and
then that cash tag which works for Cash App and Cash.me and Chime.
Um, anything you can do, whether it's a dollar or $5 or 50 or 500 or
5,000, anything up to the legal limit of nine thousand nine 999 dollars
and ninety-nine cents, I need it.
I need it because even when I get
this housing situation and stabilization problem solved, I'm still
working on a ten-year-old computer. I'm still using this horrible,
cheap, 1080P webcam that I've had for 10 years.
I don't have the right
microphone. If I touch this thing the wrong way, the microphone
connection goes out because it's worn and it's cheap and it needs to be replaced. I need your help. Please. If nothing else, if nothing else,
please get active on the engagement. Like, share, comment, subscribe,
tell other people. I am not asking you to go out there and tell all
your friends and pester them like some sort of, you know, candy sale at school that your kid is doing, but it sure wouldn't hurt if 20 people
out of the 5000 folks that are following this page, you know, if 20 or
30 people every week just shared something with a little note that
says, 'Hey, this guy's pretty good at what he does. You should pay
attention to him. Maybe support him if you can.' You'd be amazed,
right? That message that went viral last week, that thing sat for, you
know, almost a week before anybody noticed it and then somewhere along
the line, somebody picked it up and shared it in the right place and it
went nuts, and then all of a sudden it starts to build on itself. Then,
I see people like Lala Larkas and David Gerald and people with big,
huge platforms are also sharing, and that again, it just reinforces and reinforces itself and it becomes sort of a positive feedback mechanism.
If I can get to the point where I'm reaching, you know, 5,000 people a
day on a regular basis even, then, all of a sudden we have some hope.
But right now it's kind of, man, I just don't know. I just don't know
what's going to happen. And you know, we're not even talking about, you
know, mental illness issues and majority, all that other stuff that I
deal with anyway. It's not, that's not part of the conversation right
now. This is just a human being who's out here trying to do the right
thing as best they can. It has been for a long time and unfortunately,
what I do works against the business model of nearly everybody else
that is doing this kind of thing including occupied Democrats,
including the other ninety-eight. Any big page that you can think of,
you know, the Jojo from Jersey and the Brooklyn dad and the really
American. All of these pages are backed by major political party money
and they're crushing me and they're crushing people like me. And the
only way that's going to stop is if we, the people, you and I, we, the
people engage and work together and push so that people like me have
the floor and people like them, the grifters, the fakes, the frauds,
the astroturfers, lose their floor. They don't deserve to have that
platform. So, and I think that's where I'm going to cut it off. So,
thank you very much. I appreciate everybody watching. If you can help,
please do. You can send stars through Facebook if you want to. All that
stuff that's on my website and then the PayPal, the Patreon, I just set
up a CoFi coffee, however you pronounce it, account, and all of those
links are actually in the about section of this Facebook page, and you
can check all that stuff out. And in the meantime, thanks a whole lot.
I love you. Much power to all the people. I will continue, as I have
most of my life, to be in every possible way, a champion of the
oppressed and the underdogs until I cannot raise my head anymore. That
is what I do and that is what I'm going to do until I die. I would just rather that didn't happen soon. So, if you can do what you can, please
do. And that's it for me. Thank you very much. Have a great night, and
I'll see you soon. Keep an eye on the page. By the way, oh hey, I
almost forgot too. I started a group that's attached to the Facebook
page now. So, make sure you're joining that and taking part in that so
that I can that is I'm going to try to move like alittle short kind of
almost personal status messages and things like that.
I'm going to try to move all that stuff over there so that the content
on this page is focused on 'quote unquote' real content. Um, Facebook
doesn't necessarily penalize you for posting a lot, but it's just a
math thing, right? If I'm putting up 100 or 120 messages a day, then a smaller percentage of those messages are going to show up on people's timelines because if they didn't, you would have nothing but John
Andrea on your timeline, and Facebook doesn't want that unless I pay
them, which I can't afford to do. Um, so get in the group. Um, get that
taken care of. It's linked. There's actually, I think I pinned the post
on the page. Uh, so if you look at the John Henry US page here on
Facebook, right at the top of the feed there, you should see a post
that has a link to the new group. Just go there, hit the join button.
I'll get you, I'll get you, you know, authorized in and there as
quickly as I can.
Um, and just, you know, pay attention. Do what you
can. I know it's not the rousing Norman race speech everybody came for,
but this is the reality that we're in, and I'm not, I'm not a song and
dance. I'm not going to put on some bullshit act. Uh, pretend to be
something I'm not. Hey, everybody. Here's a big smile for you. Let's
all be popular and let's talk about keywords and let's appeal to your
biases so that you think I'm special and cool, and then you really like being, hey, did I mention that I'm, you know, native and black
and blah
blah blah. No, I'm just not going to do that. Going to do that. The
work that I do is worthy of your support. There is, I don't have any
question about that. It's just a matter of getting through this induced
sort of, you know, I call it the crass ceiling where where we as, you
know, American consumers have been trained for years to assume that
anybody who's poor is poor because they are, you know, some kind of
loser and jerk and they deserve it. Uh, and anybody who's rich deserves
to have more money. Let's break that thinking and let's start here,
okay? Please, thank you. Have a good night.
I have to leave. I have to be out of here December first because I
can't be here. If I am here, that jeopardizes her access to medical
care and her disability.
This doesn't scan.
Again, I don't want to get into the business
of running my roommate down but my first response to that of course
was, let's raise some money and get you a bank built up so we can make
sure your property taxes are covered and everything else. We'll do a
third party. That way, you're not handling the money and then it can be treated as a gift. It doesn't come against your disability and all that other stuff. I actually went so far. I started setting up a GoFundMe.
Um and then I went and said, well, I made a picture to do this
fundraiser and then it was, well, I didn't ask you for that. I didn't
need the help. I don't want the help. That's not, I don't want any of
that.
Deja vu?
Uh if if not for
that but it's also not survivable. Um and now, I am in a really really difficult position. Uh in that, I don't know how I'm going to live. I
don't know how I'm going to survive. I don't know where I'm going to
go. I don't know how I'm going to get there. Uh the the externally
sourced drama that originally resulted in me, you know, being having to move into that boarding house in the first place. Uh that was, you
know, my my loving family and thanks to that. I have an eviction on my record.
Appears to be true. "DEJONG V DEJONG" appears in the MiCOURT Case Search.
I desperately, desperately need all of the help I can get. And I want
to be absolutely clear. There's a lot of BS that goes on out there
about me. A lot of people talk crap behind my back and whatever. And I don't pay attention to it much unless it gets right in my face and I
have to. There's no ulterior motive here. I'm not strung out on drugs.
IIRC, he just requested aid for "pain relief".
Um, anything you can do, whether it's a dollar or $5 or 50 or 500 or
5,000, anything up to the legal limit of nine thousand nine 999 dollars
and ninety-nine cents, I need it.
"Legal limit"? To evade IRS reporting requirements?
I need it because even when I get
this housing situation and stabilization problem solved, I'm still
working on a ten-year-old computer. I'm still using this horrible,
cheap, 1080P webcam that I've had for 10 years.
He needs a 4K webcam for talking head videos?
Uh, so if you look at the John Henry US page here on
Facebook, right at the top of the feed there, you should see a post
that has a link to the new group. Just go there, hit the join button.
I'll get you, I'll get you, you know, authorized in and there as
quickly as I can.
Moving discussion to the forum at his site failed, so this is phase 2.

John claims she was contacted about him before he’d been at her home for even a week. She’s had questions about him almost from the beginning, and probably has a lot of reasons not to trust him.
Uh if if not for

Appears to be true. "DEJONG V DEJONG" appears in the MiCOURT Case Search.
The place in Utah also evicted him, so he has two.
I desperately, desperately need all of the help I can get. And I want
to be absolutely clear. There's a lot of BS that goes on out there
about me. A lot of people talk crap behind my back and whatever. And I
don't pay attention to it much unless it gets right in my face and I
have to. There's no ulterior motive here. I'm not strung out on drugs.
IIRC, he just requested aid for "pain relief".
He wants weed.
Um, anything you can do, whether it's a dollar or $5 or 50 or 500 or
5,000, anything up to the legal limit of nine thousand nine 999 dollars
and ninety-nine cents, I need it.
"Legal limit"? To evade IRS reporting requirements?
At $10,000, any movement of money is automatically reported to relevant federal authorities.
I need it because even when I get
this housing situation and stabilization problem solved, I'm still
working on a ten-year-old computer. I'm still using this horrible,
cheap, 1080P webcam that I've had for 10 years.
He needs a 4K webcam for talking head videos?
Soon, his list of “needs” will be two computers, a server, a 4K webcam, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Uh, so if you look at the John Henry US page here on
Facebook, right at the top of the feed there, you should see a post
that has a link to the new group. Just go there, hit the join button.
I'll get you, I'll get you, you know, authorized in and there as
quickly as I can.
Moving discussion to the forum at his site failed, so this is phase 2.

Transcript:
Alright, kids. How are you? I don't know what you're looking at. I
don't know what we're looking at. But here I am. Uh, we are trying to
make this live stream happen and I hope let me do something obvious so
I can see what my lag is like here. Make sure I'm going to watch my
stream. Okay. Looks like I'm good. Uh, so here I am. Uh, need to chat
with you all about some ongoing situations. Let me wind things back up
to sort of the beginning back in late February, the March of this year.
Uh, I had been living in this horrible bedbug filled dope-filled mess
of a trap house and things had got to the point where I just couldn't
work.
Seems like he's put out less content since moving out.
The landlord was uncooperative.
IIRC, the landlord identified John as the problem since he was the only
one complaining and the only one who couldn't manage to get along with
the others, and offered to waive thousands of dollars in owed rent if
he would just leave. That's the most cooperative landlord I've ever
heard of. This superhero of a landlord not only made peace in the house
with a single move, but satisfied all parties involved at his own
expense.
I had roommates that were
seriously problematic and damaging property and everything else. So, I
was on the streets for a minute, actually in a hotel.
IIRC, he admitted to being unsociable because the sex offender living
there (the one on the registry) rubbed him the wrong way.
Thanks to the
generous assistance of friends. While I was staying at the hotel, I was
actually on my last day and in the lobby trying to figure out how I was
going to pay for one more night and I ran into a friend of mine that I
had known back in high school. Haven't seen her for about 35 years. We
got to talking. As it turned out, she is dealing with stage 4 terminal
cancer in her lungs and her brain. She needed somebody to stay with
her. She had a spare room and she needed somebody here to help out and
basically just to be here in case she had some kind of medical problem
and couldn't reach the phone, right? So, I've been here and I've been
able to take advantage of a lot of time.
Neat how this is framed as her needing him.
I absolutely do not want to
get into like running my roommate down. It's not what this is about.
But the situation as it stands right now is she's been on disability
and on disability, you have a grace period. I think it's nine months
where you're still allowed to earn money and they don't penalize you or
threaten to take you off the disability. Unfortunately, that grace
period is about to end. With that grace period ending, she's still
reasonably healthy and has been working and so on and so forth but
that's going to have to end because if she continues working then her
disability gets cut off and that's her health care and her medical
insurance. Her employer's insurance doesn't cover chemotherapy,
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So it's this big, snarled, tangled mess
of who knows how you're going to deal with this, right? So she came to
me today and you know, the deadline of December 1st has been impending
for a time for 9 months. We knew this was coming. Excuse me. But what
we didn't know was what was going to have to be done to deal with it.
Now the problem is if I'm living here all of my income also counts
against her disability.
What income?!
I can't get any of that stuff. I don't qualify
for any of that stuff.
IIRC, he admitted to not even bothering to apply for a lot of help
because it wasn't possible to do it online, and he didn't want to leave
his
belongings at the mercy of his housemates when he went to the welfare
office.
What little I could maybe qualify for has years
long waiting lists including housing and everything else because I have
my own problems, right?
IIRC, he said the same thing last year. If he had put himself on the
lists, he'd at least be higher up by now.
It's been working out alright but
unfortunately, it is not going to continue working alright.
I have to leave. I have to be out of here December first because I
can't be here. If I am here, that jeopardizes her access to medical
care and her disability.
This doesn't scan.
Again, I don't want to get into the business
of running my roommate down but my first response to that of course
was, let's raise some money and get you a bank built up so we can make
sure your property taxes are covered and everything else. We'll do a
third party. That way, you're not handling the money and then it can be
treated as a gift. It doesn't come against your disability and all that
other stuff. I actually went so far. I started setting up a GoFundMe.
Um and then I went and said, well, I made a picture to do this
fundraiser and then it was, well, I didn't ask you for that. I didn't
need the help. I don't want the help. That's not, I don't want any of
that.
Deja vu?
Okay. Well, that means that there's nothing I can do and now I have to
worry about helping myself. Um I there's there's literally my hands are
tied. I don't want to approach the situation like this. Uh I don't I
this is not what I want to be doing. Uh on any level. Uh I don't want
to move out. I don't want to leave her here by herself to to deal with
all this stuff. Um but it clearly the situation is I've got to go. Um
and so that's that's where we're at right now. Uh and I'm a little
freaked out and I'm very very scared and very very worried. Um I've
been slowly you know trying to build this page up and and trying to to
to reach out to to everybody. Uh and let you know. Like we've gotta
we've gotta step on this and and some people have and I I seriously
appreciate that. Um but it's also you know it's it's 20 bucks. It's you
know, 50 bucks if I'm lucky. Um and and my monthly income is still, you
know, on the order of three, $400 Um right now, I'm on Facebook's bonus
program. Uh they added me to that a couple of months ago And I had that
post go viral here about a week and a half ago. Uh before it was
shamelessly stolen by the other ninety-eight percent. Um I ended up
with about 850, 000 views on that. Like 130000 likes. Added a couple of
hundred people to to my followers on on this page. Uh and the the money
translation from that worked out to about well, I was at about 12 bucks
when it started. So, it's been like sixty-two, $63 that came on to that
and that's awesome. I mean, I'm not trying to not appreciate that and
I'm not trying to not appreciate the people who have helped out, you
know, some folks have been helping for years, right? There's there's,
you know, I've got patrons who have been signed up for a couple of
years at five bucks a piece. I've got a two patrons over there that are
50 bucks a month and they've been on there one one friend of mine has
been off and on for a couple of years. Uh another friend who's also,
you know, a reader on this page has been there at fifty bucks since the
beginning of this year and all of that helps and I appreciate. I would
not be able to maintain even my Adobe subscription.
...
Uh if if not for
that but it's also not survivable. Um and now, I am in a really really
difficult position. Uh in that, I don't know how I'm going to live. I
don't know how I'm going to survive. I don't know where I'm going to
go. I don't know how I'm going to get there. Uh the the externally
sourced drama that originally resulted in me, you know, being having to
move into that boarding house in the first place. Uh that was, you
know, my my loving family and thanks to that. I have an eviction on my
record.
Appears to be true. "DEJONG V DEJONG" appears in the MiCOURT Case Search. What's the story here?
So, I can't just jump out and go, oh, hey, here's, you know,
couple hundred bucks. Uh, security deposit a month's rent, you're going
to let me move in, right? Um, because I've got an eviction on my
record. Um, and, and we all know that the housing situation out there
is absolutely horrible. Anyway, landlords are charging, you know, two,
three months worth of rent all kinds of ridiculous security deposits
and fees and everything else. It's it's not easy for anybody out there
right now to do to find a place to be, okay? Why I've done this video
and and why I'm I'm doing this video all of the top of my head is to
try to reach out and let you all know that the time is now. Um the this
this entire situation has to change. I have to get stabilized.
IIRC, some of his followers offered to put him up last year but he
wanted to remain in Michigan for some reason.
I have to grow my audience to the point of being able to sustain. I've
been out here for, you know, the 15 years doing this stuff, and I've
been just absolutely crushed by, you know, these giant grifting pages
that are working against me. I got stalkers going on, and people going
back channel and all kinds of rumor mongering. Just every single thing
in the world that could be, you know, working against me has been for a
long time. And I continue waking up every day and leaning in and
saying, 'Hey, I'm going to come out here and I am going to keep doing
the best I can to make the world a better place, and to make life
easier for all of us.' And try to teach people how to make life easier
for themselves and make better decisions about their leadership and all
of that stuff because I'm not out here trying to cover my own ass. I'm
trying to get everybody's ass covered. I'm trying to bring everybody
up. And like I said, this has been going on for a decade plus now.
That, you know, these big pages that you know the other ninety-eight
and the being liberal and blah blah blah. All these big astroturf fake
grassroots grifters who have no ideological commitment. Whatever, the
only thing they're interested in is pandering the people's biases and
making money. They're making money hand over fist, right? Millions and
millions of dollars a year and here I still sit. Here I still sit. And
so, I don't, again, it's, I don't want to be, you know, self-pity, and
I don't want you to pity me, and I don't want you to feel sorry for me.
I want you to understand that the work I'm doing is worthwhile and it
is adding positive effects to the world and doing good and nudging the
battleship of humanity a quarter degree at a time in a more sane
direction with all of your help. And I have enjoyed the privilege of
having an audience and having a platform. In spite of, you know, losing
the Obama page last year, which is 200,000 people that Facebook cut off
because one of the admins was sloppy about what they were posting. And
just on and on.
I have been beating my hand against the wall for a decade and a half.
Hanging on by my fingernails as they pull out of my fingers
desperately, desperately trying to stay alive and get ahead. And the
only thing I've been able to do is just barely stay alive. And I love
you all, but that has to change, and it has to change like today. And
so what I'm asking her to do, I'm not going to be here all night. I'm
going to try to get this. It's probably not going to be under fifteen,
but I'm going to try to get it under 20 minutes. What I'm asking to do
is please, please, please, please, everything I post, engage, like,
share, comment, spread it around. Tell people, I post regular
fundraising links to the PayPal and to the Linktree, into the Patreon,
and my website where I've got the shopping cart set up. And I've been
doing some other new stuff over there so people can make contributions
that are directly targeted towards like paying for Adobe software and
so on and so forth.
I desperately, desperately need all of the help I can get. And I want
to be absolutely clear. There's a lot of BS that goes on out there
about me. A lot of people talk crap behind my back and whatever. And I
don't pay attention to it much unless it gets right in my face and I
have to. There's no ulterior motive here. I'm not strung out on drugs.
IIRC, he just requested aid for "pain relief".
I'm not out blowing money on gambling or throwing it away.
Paying subscriptions for tools that aren't used for months at a time and
even when they are don't result in reliable revenue is both gambling and throwing money away.
None of that
stuff. Right? There is no secret here. I am here to help me. I mean,
it's legitimate and authentic and grassroots and independent as anybody
possibly can be. I don't take money from the Democratic Party, the way
that some of these big pages do. I don't take money from corporate
sponsors the way that some of these big pages do. I don't want other
people's advertisements on my Facebook page, etc., etc., etc.
There seems like far greater potential for corruption in relying on
1 person for housing and food and a tiny number of regular donators
for sodas and Adobe, than there would be from sponsorship by an
accountable source like a big political party. They're even transparent
about the sponsorship, which is apparently cause for complaint.
If, when any one of the handful of people supporting you threatens to withhold support, it upends your entire life, that's a huge
vulnerability.
I have gone out of my way and done incredible damage in my own life
and to my own space, into my own survivability, and my health, and my
mental health. For years and years and years to try to get ahead and
get out into the world and say, hey, look, here is what we need to do.
Here is the information. We need to be more politically literate. We
need to stop being enslaved by our egos and insisting on rejecting any
information that suggests to us that maybe we've been calm or been
fooled or been led astray by bad ideas or getting sucked into things
that appeal to our biases and egos rather than the truth, etcetera.
I'm out here working, doing the very best that I can, right? I've been
doing it forever. My name and my face are all over the internet for 15,
20 years. Being this hard left, anti-capitalist, political activist,
even if I wasn't over 50 years old, I would not be employable at this
point.
IIRC, he claimed to get a job (rather quickly) less than a year ago.
Also, it's not like your average HR person is right-wing.
People are not going to hire somebody when they are legally
allowed in this country, which they aren't in some countries, to go
digging through Google and digging through my Facebook history and
everything else and deciding, oh, this guy is, he's a lefty. He's an
anti-fascist. He's an anti-capitalist. He's going to come in and be
disruptive and he's going to be a problem for us so we're not going to
hire him. Now, on the face of it, of course, that's illegal as hell.
You're not allowed to do that. It is a refuse to hire somebody over
their political beliefs but long as they're not stupid enough to tell
me to my face, that's why I'm not being hired. There's nothing I can do
about it. And now I'm old.
He won't apply for welfare because he knows he won't be approved, he
won't apply for a job because he knows he won't be hired, he won't
look for a room to rent because he knows he won't be accepted...
I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm at my absolute wit's end. I
just don't know what to do anymore. What I do know is that giving up is
not an option. Not doing the work that I do here on this page and on
the website and all the political stuff and all the media and
information literacy stuff and trying to expose these frauds and
grifters that are in various spaces, including it's not just the
political space. I've been looking at all these Native American pages
that are on Facebook and stuff over the last couple of days and it's
like nine out of ten of them, all the administrators are based in like
Vietnam or the Philippines. These are Native Americans. These are
thieves, you know, and they're thieves. They use the imagery and the
ideas and the symbolism of Native American culture to appeal to people
who are attracted to that and suck money out of their pockets and sell
cheap T-shirts and so on and so forth. And it's a problem in every
sector on social media. There are so many scams out there and there are
so many people that are just I don't know what happened to human
conscience. I don't know how these people do this. I don't know how
anybody can go out and just flat out lie to millions of people and
steal money and energy and time and work from real activists who are
trying to make the world better and put it in their pocket to the tune
of millions of dollars a year and live with themselves. I don't know
how people do that. And I'm not in that business. I've never been in
that business, right?
It would be so easy for me and would have been at any point in the last
7 months, right? I could easily come out and say, hey, you know,
cancer roommate, medical cause, need money, and I could spam that all
over social media and the money would come rolling in but it would be
dishonest. It would be fraud. It would be crooked. It would be
everything that I stand against.
I'm asking y'all and and hilariously, I'm looking right. There's like
one person watching this stream right now.
I got 5,000 people following my page, and there's one person watching
the stream right now. And I just, you know, we gotta get over this idea
that somebody honestly asking for support is they must be the fraud.
But it's the person that's out there who's pretending to be Native
American, who's pretending to be black,
*cough*
who's pretending to be gay,
who's pretending to be a woman,
Roadmap?
who's pretending, pretending,
pretending, lying through their teeth, and making stuff up. But it
sounds good and it looks good on us socially when we appear to be
supporting that. We gotta break that. We have to break that thinking.
It's killing us. It is wiping us out. That is what's doing the damage
to our democracy. This is why we don't have a real left-wing in this
country. This is why so many of us are struggling. This is why the
AMPTP and the automakers think that they can get away with continuing
to hurt people and threaten people and punish people for demanding
better working conditions and all the other stuff that's going on right
now with these strikes. Because we put all of our energy behind these
frauds and these grifters. And in the meantime, people like me are out
here trying to do it authentically because everybody wants authenticity
except they want a highly polished and well-rehearsed and, you know,
they want authentic bullshit. And that's going to stop. That's gotta
stop. That is what's hurting us. And, you know, again, this, you know,
my personal problems and the things that I'm going through are
definitely a major problem. And if something does not happen in a huge
way in the next month or so, I really just don't know what I'm going to
do or where I'm going to be. But right now, as things stand, if
something doesn't happen very soon, I'm going to be on the streets on
December 1st, and you're not going to hear from me anymore. And I would
rather not see that happen for my own selfish reasons, obviously, but
also because I've still got a lot of work to do and a lot of things to
say and a lot of information and energy to put out there into the
world. And that includes, you know, supporting.
I've recently become. There's a really great page out there called Vox
Plus Guest that is run by the members of a band called Vox Plus Sticks.
Um, and they are just incredible energy for mutual aid and sharing and
everything else. So, the last week or so, I've had a lot of like
independent musicians and so on and so forth which I love because I've
been one for 45 years and I want to do everything I can to support
them. I'm doing everything. Everything I know how to do. I am one
person. And I am doing the work of 10 people every single day. And I
want to be clear. I know I'm not sane. Okay? I know I'm not normal. I
know I can sometimes come off abrasive or what have you. I get that. I
understand that. That's the world we live in. And that's what needs to
change. That's the evolution that needs to happen is we need to start
breaking this thinking. We need to start breaking our training and this
commercialism and all the things that we've been, you know, taught
through advertising and marketing tricks in terms of only believing
people that are already rich and then they need more money. Like, that
doesn't make any sense, right? So, I'm already again 2 minutes past
where I wanted to be. I'm going to go ahead and cut it off here pretty
quick but I want to just leave you with a thought. Please, man. Please,
please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please,
engage with my work on my page, share, spread it around. Don't be
afraid to say to people, hey, this guy deserves your support. This guy
deserves your help. He deserves your attention, right? If I can blow up
on Facebook and stay blown up, the income from that will cover me,
right? I can make up to $30,000 a month from Facebook. Right now, you
know, like I said, I got seventy bucks. Need to need to move that up
and I got a couple of folks that have been following me. Uh especially
Tony Nelson. I definitely wanted to give a shout out too because he's
been a friend of mine for a long long time back to the wrestling group
in the nineties. Um and he's just been sharing everything. And and
liking everything and leaving comments on tons of stuff. And that is
the energy I need from like all 5000 of you. I really really need that.
I need you to make that extra little effort for me. A couple of times a
day. Spend 5 minutes. Dropped by the page. Like the stuff that I've
posted. Share the video is share the articles, all that other stuff.
Get it out there. Bring people in and let's build this up because I I
need, you know, I I don't want to use the word miracle because I'm an
atheist. I don't believe in miracles. But what I need is a break for
one goddamn time in my life. I just need a real break.
11 months of free rent (15+ counting the waived rent from the other
place)
11 months of free food
11 months of free electricity
That's not a break?

Transcript:
Alright, kids. How are you? I don't know what you're looking at. I
don't know what we're looking at. But here I am. Uh, we are trying to
make this live stream happen and I hope let me do something obvious so
I can see what my lag is like here. Make sure I'm going to watch my
stream. Okay. Looks like I'm good. Uh, so here I am. Uh, need to chat
with you all about some ongoing situations. Let me wind things back up
to sort of the beginning back in late February, the March of this year. >> Uh, I had been living in this horrible bedbug filled dope-filled mess
of a trap house and things had got to the point where I just couldn't
work.
Seems like he's put out less content since moving out.
The landlord was uncooperative.
IIRC, the landlord identified John as the problem since he was the only one complaining and the only one who couldn't manage to get along with
the others, and offered to waive thousands of dollars in owed rent if
he would just leave. That's the most cooperative landlord I've ever
heard of. This superhero of a landlord not only made peace in the house with a single move, but satisfied all parties involved at his own
expense.
I had roommates that were
seriously problematic and damaging property and everything else. So, I
was on the streets for a minute, actually in a hotel.
IIRC, he admitted to being unsociable because the sex offender living there (the one on the registry) rubbed him the wrong way.
Thanks to the
generous assistance of friends. While I was staying at the hotel, I was >> actually on my last day and in the lobby trying to figure out how I was >> going to pay for one more night and I ran into a friend of mine that I
had known back in high school. Haven't seen her for about 35 years. We
got to talking. As it turned out, she is dealing with stage 4 terminal
cancer in her lungs and her brain. She needed somebody to stay with
her. She had a spare room and she needed somebody here to help out and
basically just to be here in case she had some kind of medical problem
and couldn't reach the phone, right? So, I've been here and I've been
able to take advantage of a lot of time.
Neat how this is framed as her needing him.
I absolutely do not want to
get into like running my roommate down. It's not what this is about.
But the situation as it stands right now is she's been on disability
and on disability, you have a grace period. I think it's nine months
where you're still allowed to earn money and they don't penalize you or >> threaten to take you off the disability. Unfortunately, that grace
period is about to end. With that grace period ending, she's still
reasonably healthy and has been working and so on and so forth but
that's going to have to end because if she continues working then her
disability gets cut off and that's her health care and her medical
insurance. Her employer's insurance doesn't cover chemotherapy,
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So it's this big, snarled, tangled mess
of who knows how you're going to deal with this, right? So she came to
me today and you know, the deadline of December 1st has been impending
for a time for 9 months. We knew this was coming. Excuse me. But what
we didn't know was what was going to have to be done to deal with it.
Now the problem is if I'm living here all of my income also counts
against her disability.
What income?!
I can't get any of that stuff. I don't qualify
for any of that stuff.
IIRC, he admitted to not even bothering to apply for a lot of help
because it wasn't possible to do it online, and he didn't want to leave his
belongings at the mercy of his housemates when he went to the welfare office.
What little I could maybe qualify for has years
long waiting lists including housing and everything else because I have >> my own problems, right?
IIRC, he said the same thing last year. If he had put himself on the lists, he'd at least be higher up by now.
It's been working out alright but
unfortunately, it is not going to continue working alright.
I have to leave. I have to be out of here December first because I
can't be here. If I am here, that jeopardizes her access to medical
care and her disability.
This doesn't scan.
Again, I don't want to get into the business
of running my roommate down but my first response to that of course

Hanging on by my fingernails as they pull out of my fingers
desperately, desperately trying to stay alive and get ahead. And the
only thing I've been able to do is just barely stay alive. And I love
you all, but that has to change, and it has to change like today. And
so what I'm asking her to do, I'm not going to be here all night. I'm
going to try to get this. It's probably not going to be under fifteen,
but I'm going to try to get it under 20 minutes. What I'm asking to do
is please, please, please, please, everything I post, engage, like,
share, comment, spread it around. Tell people, I post regular
fundraising links to the PayPal and to the Linktree, into the Patreon,
and my website where I've got the shopping cart set up. And I've been
doing some other new stuff over there so people can make contributions
that are directly targeted towards like paying for Adobe software and
so on and so forth.
I desperately, desperately need all of the help I can get. And I want
to be absolutely clear. There's a lot of BS that goes on out there
about me. A lot of people talk crap behind my back and whatever. And I
don't pay attention to it much unless it gets right in my face and I
have to. There's no ulterior motive here. I'm not strung out on drugs.
IIRC, he just requested aid for "pain relief".
I'm not out blowing money on gambling or throwing it away.
Paying subscriptions for tools that aren't used for months at a time and even when they are don't result in reliable revenue is both gambling and throwing money away.
None of that
stuff. Right? There is no secret here. I am here to help me. I mean,
it's legitimate and authentic and grassroots and independent as anybody >> possibly can be. I don't take money from the Democratic Party, the way
that some of these big pages do. I don't take money from corporate
sponsors the way that some of these big pages do. I don't want other
people's advertisements on my Facebook page, etc., etc., etc.
There seems like far greater potential for corruption in relying on
1 person for housing and food and a tiny number of regular donators
for sodas and Adobe, than there would be from sponsorship by an accountable source like a big political party. They're even transparent about the sponsorship, which is apparently cause for complaint.
If, when any one of the handful of people supporting you threatens to withhold support, it upends your entire life, that's a huge
vulnerability.
I have gone out of my way and done incredible damage in my own life
and to my own space, into my own survivability, and my health, and my
mental health. For years and years and years to try to get ahead and
get out into the world and say, hey, look, here is what we need to do.
Here is the information. We need to be more politically literate. We
need to stop being enslaved by our egos and insisting on rejecting any
information that suggests to us that maybe we've been calm or been
fooled or been led astray by bad ideas or getting sucked into things
that appeal to our biases and egos rather than the truth, etcetera.
I'm out here working, doing the very best that I can, right? I've been
doing it forever. My name and my face are all over the internet for 15, >> 20 years. Being this hard left, anti-capitalist, political activist,
even if I wasn't over 50 years old, I would not be employable at this
point.
IIRC, he claimed to get a job (rather quickly) less than a year ago.
Also, it's not like your average HR person is right-wing.
People are not going to hire somebody when they are legally
allowed in this country, which they aren't in some countries, to go
digging through Google and digging through my Facebook history and
everything else and deciding, oh, this guy is, he's a lefty. He's an
anti-fascist. He's an anti-capitalist. He's going to come in and be
disruptive and he's going to be a problem for us so we're not going to
hire him. Now, on the face of it, of course, that's illegal as hell.
You're not allowed to do that. It is a refuse to hire somebody over
their political beliefs but long as they're not stupid enough to tell
me to my face, that's why I'm not being hired. There's nothing I can do >> about it. And now I'm old.
He won't apply for welfare because he knows he won't be approved, he
won't apply for a job because he knows he won't be hired, he won't
look for a room to rent because he knows he won't be accepted...
I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm at my absolute wit's end. I
just don't know what to do anymore. What I do know is that giving up is >> not an option. Not doing the work that I do here on this page and on
the website and all the political stuff and all the media and
information literacy stuff and trying to expose these frauds and
grifters that are in various spaces, including it's not just the
political space. I've been looking at all these Native American pages
that are on Facebook and stuff over the last couple of days and it's
like nine out of ten of them, all the administrators are based in like
Vietnam or the Philippines. These are Native Americans. These are
thieves, you know, and they're thieves. They use the imagery and the
ideas and the symbolism of Native American culture to appeal to people
who are attracted to that and suck money out of their pockets and sell
cheap T-shirts and so on and so forth. And it's a problem in every
sector on social media. There are so many scams out there and there are >> so many people that are just I don't know what happened to human
conscience. I don't know how these people do this. I don't know how
anybody can go out and just flat out lie to millions of people and
steal money and energy and time and work from real activists who are
trying to make the world better and put it in their pocket to the tune
of millions of dollars a year and live with themselves. I don't know
how people do that. And I'm not in that business. I've never been in
that business, right?
It would be so easy for me and would have been at any point in the last >> 7 months, right? I could easily come out and say, hey, you know,
cancer roommate, medical cause, need money, and I could spam that all
over social media and the money would come rolling in but it would be
dishonest. It would be fraud. It would be crooked. It would be
everything that I stand against.
I'm asking y'all and and hilariously, I'm looking right. There's like
one person watching this stream right now.
I got 5,000 people following my page, and there's one person watching
the stream right now. And I just, you know, we gotta get over this idea >> that somebody honestly asking for support is they must be the fraud.
But it's the person that's out there who's pretending to be Native
American, who's pretending to be black,
*cough*
who's pretending to be gay,
who's pretending to be a woman,
Roadmap?
who's pretending, pretending,
pretending, lying through their teeth, and making stuff up. But it
sounds good and it looks good on us socially when we appear to be
supporting that. We gotta break that. We have to break that thinking.
It's killing us. It is wiping us out. That is what's doing the damage
to our democracy. This is why we don't have a real left-wing in this
country. This is why so many of us are struggling. This is why the
AMPTP and the automakers think that they can get away with continuing
to hurt people and threaten people and punish people for demanding
better working conditions and all the other stuff that's going on right >> now with these strikes. Because we put all of our energy behind these
frauds and these grifters. And in the meantime, people like me are out
here trying to do it authentically because everybody wants authenticity >> except they want a highly polished and well-rehearsed and, you know,
they want authentic bullshit. And that's going to stop. That's gotta
stop. That is what's hurting us. And, you know, again, this, you know,
my personal problems and the things that I'm going through are
definitely a major problem. And if something does not happen in a huge
way in the next month or so, I really just don't know what I'm going to >> do or where I'm going to be. But right now, as things stand, if
something doesn't happen very soon, I'm going to be on the streets on
December 1st, and you're not going to hear from me anymore. And I would >> rather not see that happen for my own selfish reasons, obviously, but
also because I've still got a lot of work to do and a lot of things to
say and a lot of information and energy to put out there into the
world. And that includes, you know, supporting.
I've recently become. There's a really great page out there called Vox
Plus Guest that is run by the members of a band called Vox Plus Sticks. >> Um, and they are just incredible energy for mutual aid and sharing and
everything else. So, the last week or so, I've had a lot of like
independent musicians and so on and so forth which I love because I've
been one for 45 years and I want to do everything I can to support
them. I'm doing everything. Everything I know how to do. I am one
person. And I am doing the work of 10 people every single day. And I
want to be clear. I know I'm not sane. Okay? I know I'm not normal. I
know I can sometimes come off abrasive or what have you. I get that. I
understand that. That's the world we live in. And that's what needs to
change. That's the evolution that needs to happen is we need to start
breaking this thinking. We need to start breaking our training and this >> commercialism and all the things that we've been, you know, taught
through advertising and marketing tricks in terms of only believing
people that are already rich and then they need more money. Like, that
doesn't make any sense, right? So, I'm already again 2 minutes past
where I wanted to be. I'm going to go ahead and cut it off here pretty
quick but I want to just leave you with a thought. Please, man. Please, >> please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, >> engage with my work on my page, share, spread it around. Don't be
afraid to say to people, hey, this guy deserves your support. This guy
deserves your help. He deserves your attention, right? If I can blow up >> on Facebook and stay blown up, the income from that will cover me,
right? I can make up to $30,000 a month from Facebook. Right now, you
know, like I said, I got seventy bucks. Need to need to move that up
and I got a couple of folks that have been following me. Uh especially
Tony Nelson. I definitely wanted to give a shout out too because he's
been a friend of mine for a long long time back to the wrestling group
in the nineties. Um and he's just been sharing everything. And and
liking everything and leaving comments on tons of stuff. And that is
the energy I need from like all 5000 of you. I really really need that. >> I need you to make that extra little effort for me. A couple of times a >> day. Spend 5 minutes. Dropped by the page. Like the stuff that I've
posted. Share the video is share the articles, all that other stuff.
Get it out there. Bring people in and let's build this up because I I
need, you know, I I don't want to use the word miracle because I'm an
atheist. I don't believe in miracles. But what I need is a break for
one goddamn time in my life. I just need a real break.
11 months of free rent (15+ counting the waived rent from the other
place)
11 months of free food
11 months of free electricity
That's not a break?No.
It’s a thieving parasite…

Transcript:
Alright, kids. How are you? I don't know what you're looking at. I
don't know what we're looking at. But here I am. Uh, we are trying
to
make this live stream happen and I hope let me do something
obvious so
I can see what my lag is like here. Make sure I'm going to watch
my stream. Okay. Looks like I'm good. Uh, so here I am. Uh, need
to chat
with you all about some ongoing situations. Let me wind things
back up
.to sort of the beginning back in late February, the March of this
year
Uh, I had been living in this horrible bedbug filled dope-filled
mess
of a trap house and things had got to the point where I just
couldn't
work.
Seems like he's put out less content since moving out.
The landlord was uncooperative.
IIRC, the landlord identified John as the problem since he was the
only
one complaining and the only one who couldn't manage to get along
with
the others, and offered to waive thousands of dollars in owed rent
if
he would just leave. That's the most cooperative landlord I've ever
heard of. This superhero of a landlord not only made peace in the
house
with a single move, but satisfied all parties involved at his own
expense.
I had roommates that were
seriously problematic and damaging property and everything else.
So, I
was on the streets for a minute, actually in a hotel.
IIRC, he admitted to being unsociable because the sex offender
living
sthere (the one on the registry) rubbed him the wrong way.
Thanks to the
generous assistance of friends. While I was staying at the hotel,
I wa
sactually on my last day and in the lobby trying to figure out how
I wa
going to pay for one more night and I ran into a friend of mine
that I
had known back in high school. Haven't seen her for about 35
years. We
got to talking. As it turned out, she is dealing with stage 4
terminal
cancer in her lungs and her brain. She needed somebody to stay
with her. She had a spare room and she needed somebody here to
help out and
basically just to be here in case she had some kind of medical
problem
and couldn't reach the phone, right? So, I've been here and I've
been
able to take advantage of a lot of time.
Neat how this is framed as her needing him.
I absolutely do not want to
get into like running my roommate down. It's not what this is
about.
But the situation as it stands right now is she's been on
disability
and on disability, you have a grace period. I think it's nine
months
rwhere you're still allowed to earn money and they don't penalize
you o
threaten to take you off the disability. Unfortunately, that grace
period is about to end. With that grace period ending, she's still
reasonably healthy and has been working and so on and so forth but
that's going to have to end because if she continues working then
her
disability gets cut off and that's her health care and her medical
insurance. Her employer's insurance doesn't cover chemotherapy,
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So it's this big, snarled, tangled
mess
of who knows how you're going to deal with this, right? So she
came to
me today and you know, the deadline of December 1st has been
impending
for a time for 9 months. We knew this was coming. Excuse me. But
what
we didn't know was what was going to have to be done to deal with
it.
Now the problem is if I'm living here all of my income also counts
against her disability.
What income?!
I can't get any of that stuff. I don't qualify
for any of that stuff.
IIRC, he admitted to not even bothering to apply for a lot of help
because it wasn't possible to do it online, and he didn't want to
leave
his
belongings at the mercy of his housemates when he went to the
welfare
eoffice.
What little I could maybe qualify for has years
long waiting lists including housing and everything else because I
hav
my own problems, right?
IIRC, he said the same thing last year. If he had put himself on
the lists, he'd at least be higher up by now.
It's been working out alright but
unfortunately, it is not going to continue working alright.
I have to leave. I have to be out of here December first because I
can't be here. If I am here, that jeopardizes her access to
medical care and her disability.
This doesn't scan.
Again, I don't want to get into the business
of running my roommate down but my first response to that of
course was, let's raise some money and get you a bank built up so
we can make
sure your property taxes are covered and everything else. We'll do
a
ethird party. That way, you're not handling the money and then it
can b
ttreated as a gift. It doesn't come against your disability and all
tha
other stuff. I actually went so far. I started setting up a
GoFundMe.
Um and then I went and said, well, I made a picture to do this
fundraiser and then it was, well, I didn't ask you for that. I
didn't
need the help. I don't want the help. That's not, I don't want any
of
that.
Deja vu?
Okay. Well, that means that there's nothing I can do and now I
have to
eworry about helping myself. Um I there's there's literally my
hands ar
tied. I don't want to approach the situation like this. Uh I don't
I
this is not what I want to be doing. Uh on any level. Uh I don't
want
to move out. I don't want to leave her here by herself to to deal
with
all this stuff. Um but it clearly the situation is I've got to go.
Um
and so that's that's where we're at right now. Uh and I'm a little
freaked out and I'm very very scared and very very worried. Um
I've been slowly you know trying to build this page up and and
trying to to
uto reach out to to everybody. Uh and let you know. Like we've
gotta we've gotta step on this and and some people have and I I
seriously appreciate that. Um but it's also you know it's it's 20
bucks. It's yo
uknow, 50 bucks if I'm lucky. Um and and my monthly income is
still, yo
sknow, on the order of three, $400 Um right now, I'm on Facebook's
bonu
tprogram. Uh they added me to that a couple of months ago And I had
tha
fpost go viral here about a week and a half ago. Uh before it was
shamelessly stolen by the other ninety-eight percent. Um I ended
up with about 850, 000 views on that. Like 130000 likes. Added a
couple o
yhundred people to to my followers on on this page. Uh and the the
mone
stranslation from that worked out to about well, I was at about 12
buck
twhen it started. So, it's been like sixty-two, $63 that came on to
tha
and that's awesome. I mean, I'm not trying to not appreciate that
and
I'm not trying to not appreciate the people who have helped out,
you
know, some folks have been helping for years, right? There's
there's,
eyou know, I've got patrons who have been signed up for a couple of
years at five bucks a piece. I've got a two patrons over there
that ar
50 bucks a month and they've been on there one one friend of mine
has
been off and on for a couple of years. Uh another friend who's
also,
eyou know, a reader on this page has been there at fifty bucks
since th
beginning of this year and all of that helps and I appreciate. I
would
not be able to maintain even my Adobe subscription.
...
Uh if if not for
that but it's also not survivable. Um and now, I am in a really
really
difficult position. Uh in that, I don't know how I'm going to
live. I
don't know how I'm going to survive. I don't know where I'm going
to
ogo. I don't know how I'm going to get there. Uh the the externally
sourced drama that originally resulted in me, you know, being
having t
move into that boarding house in the first place. Uh that was, you
know, my my loving family and thanks to that. I have an eviction
on my
h.record.
Appears to be true. "DEJONG V DEJONG" appears in the MiCOURT Case
Searc
gWhat's the story here?
So, I can't just jump out and go, oh, hey, here's, you know,
couple hundred bucks. Uh, security deposit a month's rent, you're
goin
to let me move in, right? Um, because I've got an eviction on my
record. Um, and, and we all know that the housing situation out
there
is absolutely horrible. Anyway, landlords are charging, you know,
two,
three months worth of rent all kinds of ridiculous security
deposits
and fees and everything else. It's it's not easy for anybody out
there
right now to do to find a place to be, okay? Why I've done this
video
and and why I'm I'm doing this video all of the top of my head is
to
stry to reach out and let you all know that the time is now. Um the
thi
this entire situation has to change. I have to get stabilized.
IIRC, some of his followers offered to put him up last year but he
wanted to remain in Michigan for some reason.
I have to grow my audience to the point of being able to sustain.
I've
been out here for, you know, the 15 years doing this stuff, and
I've
been just absolutely crushed by, you know, these giant grifting
pages
that are working against me. I got stalkers going on, and people
going
back channel and all kinds of rumor mongering. Just every single
thing
ain the world that could be, you know, working against me has been
for
long time. And I continue waking up every day and leaning in and
saying, 'Hey, I'm going to come out here and I am going to keep
doing
the best I can to make the world a better place, and to make life
easier for all of us.' And try to teach people how to make life
easier
lfor themselves and make better decisions about their leadership
and al
of that stuff because I'm not out here trying to cover my own ass.
I'm
trying to get everybody's ass covered. I'm trying to bring
everybody
up. And like I said, this has been going on for a decade plus now.
That, you know, these big pages that you know the other
ninety-eight
and the being liberal and blah blah blah. All these big astroturf
fake
grassroots grifters who have no ideological commitment. Whatever,
the
only thing they're interested in is pandering the people's biases
and
making money. They're making money hand over fist, right? Millions
and
millions of dollars a year and here I still sit. Here I still sit.
And
so, I don't, again, it's, I don't want to be, you know, self-pity,
and
.I don't want you to pity me, and I don't want you to feel sorry
for me
I want you to understand that the work I'm doing is worthwhile and
it
is adding positive effects to the world and doing good and nudging
the
battleship of humanity a quarter degree at a time in a more sane
direction with all of your help. And I have enjoyed the privilege
of
ghaving an audience and having a platform. In spite of, you know,
losin
fthe Obama page last year, which is 200,000 people that Facebook
cut of
because one of the admins was sloppy about what they were posting.
And
just on and on.
I have been beating my hand against the wall for a decade and a
half.
Hanging on by my fingernails as they pull out of my fingers
desperately, desperately trying to stay alive and get ahead. And
the
only thing I've been able to do is just barely stay alive. And I
love
you all, but that has to change, and it has to change like today.
And
so what I'm asking her to do, I'm not going to be here all night.
I'm
going to try to get this. It's probably not going to be under
fifteen,
but I'm going to try to get it under 20 minutes. What I'm asking
to do
is please, please, please, please, everything I post, engage,
like, share, comment, spread it around. Tell people, I post
regular fundraising links to the PayPal and to the Linktree, into
the Patreon,
and my website where I've got the shopping cart set up. And I've
been
doing some other new stuff over there so people can make
contributions
that are directly targeted towards like paying for Adobe software
and
so on and so forth.
I desperately, desperately need all of the help I can get. And I
want
to be absolutely clear. There's a lot of BS that goes on out there
about me. A lot of people talk crap behind my back and whatever.
And I
don't pay attention to it much unless it gets right in my face and
I
have to. There's no ulterior motive here. I'm not strung out on
drugs.
d
IIRC, he just requested aid for "pain relief".
I'm not out blowing money on gambling or throwing it away.
Paying subscriptions for tools that aren't used for months at a
time an
deven when they are don't result in reliable revenue is both
gambling an
throwing money away.
None of that
stuff. Right? There is no secret here. I am here to help me. I
mean,
yit's legitimate and authentic and grassroots and independent as
anybod
possibly can be. I don't take money from the Democratic Party, the
way
that some of these big pages do. I don't take money from corporate
sponsors the way that some of these big pages do. I don't want
other
people's advertisements on my Facebook page, etc., etc., etc.
There seems like far greater potential for corruption in relying on
1 person for housing and food and a tiny number of regular donators
for sodas and Adobe, than there would be from sponsorship by an
accountable source like a big political party. They're even
transparent
about the sponsorship, which is apparently cause for complaint.
If, when any one of the handful of people supporting you threatens
to
withhold support, it upends your entire life, that's a huge
vulnerability.
I have gone out of my way and done incredible damage in my own
life and to my own space, into my own survivability, and my
health, and my
mental health. For years and years and years to try to get ahead
and
get out into the world and say, hey, look, here is what we need to

Here is the information. We need to be more politically literate.
We
need to stop being enslaved by our egos and insisting on rejecting
any

fooled or been led astray by bad ideas or getting sucked into
things
that appeal to our biases and egos rather than the truth,
etcetera.
I'm out here working, doing the very best that I can, right? I've
been
,doing it forever. My name and my face are all over the internet
for 15
20 years. Being this hard left, anti-capitalist, political
activist,
even if I wasn't over 50 years old, I would not be employable at
this
point.
IIRC, he claimed to get a job (rather quickly) less than a year

People are not going to hire somebody when they are legally
allowed in this country, which they aren't in some countries, to
go digging through Google and digging through my Facebook history
and everything else and deciding, oh, this guy is, he's a lefty.
He's an
anti-fascist. He's an anti-capitalist. He's going to come in and
be disruptive and he's going to be a problem for us so we're not
going to
hire him. Now, on the face of it, of course, that's illegal as
hell.
You're not allowed to do that. It is a refuse to hire somebody
over their political beliefs but long as they're not stupid enough
to tell
ome to my face, that's why I'm not being hired. There's nothing I
can d
about it. And now I'm old.
He won't apply for welfare because he knows he won't be approved,
he won't apply for a job because he knows he won't be hired, he
won't look for a room to rent because he knows he won't be
accepted...
I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm at my absolute wit's
end. I
sjust don't know what to do anymore. What I do know is that giving
up i
not an option. Not doing the work that I do here on this page and
on
the website and all the political stuff and all the media and
information literacy stuff and trying to expose these frauds and
grifters that are in various spaces, including it's not just the
political space. I've been looking at all these Native American
pages
that are on Facebook and stuff over the last couple of days and
it's
like nine out of ten of them, all the administrators are based in
like
Vietnam or the Philippines. These are Native Americans. These are
thieves, you know, and they're thieves. They use the imagery and
the
ideas and the symbolism of Native American culture to appeal to
people
who are attracted to that and suck money out of their pockets and
sell
echeap T-shirts and so on and so forth. And it's a problem in every
sector on social media. There are so many scams out there and
there ar
so many people that are just I don't know what happened to human
conscience. I don't know how these people do this. I don't know
how anybody can go out and just flat out lie to millions of people
and steal money and energy and time and work from real activists
who are
trying to make the world better and put it in their pocket to the
tune
of millions of dollars a year and live with themselves. I don't
know
how people do that. And I'm not in that business. I've never been
in
tthat business, right?
It would be so easy for me and would have been at any point in the
las
7 months, right? I could easily come out and say, hey, you know,
cancer roommate, medical cause, need money, and I could spam that
all
over social media and the money would come rolling in but it would
be
dishonest. It would be fraud. It would be crooked. It would be
everything that I stand against.
I'm asking y'all and and hilariously, I'm looking right. There's
like
one person watching this stream right now.
I got 5,000 people following my page, and there's one person
watching
athe stream right now. And I just, you know, we gotta get over this
ide
that somebody honestly asking for support is they must be the
fraud.
But it's the person that's out there who's pretending to be Native
American, who's pretending to be black,
*cough*
who's pretending to be gay,
who's pretending to be a woman,
Roadmap?
who's pretending, pretending,
pretending, lying through their teeth, and making stuff up. But it
sounds good and it looks good on us socially when we appear to be
supporting that. We gotta break that. We have to break that
thinking.
It's killing us. It is wiping us out. That is what's doing the
damage
to our democracy. This is why we don't have a real left-wing in
this
country. This is why so many of us are struggling. This is why the
AMPTP and the automakers think that they can get away with
continuing
tto hurt people and threaten people and punish people for demanding
better working conditions and all the other stuff that's going on
righ
now with these strikes. Because we put all of our energy behind
these
frauds and these grifters. And in the meantime, people like me are
out
yhere trying to do it authentically because everybody wants
authenticit
except they want a highly polished and well-rehearsed and, you
know,
they want authentic bullshit. And that's going to stop. That's
gotta
stop. That is what's hurting us. And, you know, again, this, you
know,
my personal problems and the things that I'm going through are
definitely a major problem. And if something does not happen in a
huge
oway in the next month or so, I really just don't know what I'm
going t
do or where I'm going to be. But right now, as things stand, if
something doesn't happen very soon, I'm going to be on the streets
on
dDecember 1st, and you're not going to hear from me anymore. And I
woul
rather not see that happen for my own selfish reasons, obviously,
but
also because I've still got a lot of work to do and a lot of
things to
say and a lot of information and energy to put out there into the
world. And that includes, you know, supporting.
I've recently become. There's a really great page out there called
Vox
.Plus Guest that is run by the members of a band called Vox Plus
Sticks
Um, and they are just incredible energy for mutual aid and sharing
and
everything else. So, the last week or so, I've had a lot of like
independent musicians and so on and so forth which I love because
I've
been one for 45 years and I want to do everything I can to support
them. I'm doing everything. Everything I know how to do. I am one
person. And I am doing the work of 10 people every single day. And
I
want to be clear. I know I'm not sane. Okay? I know I'm not
normal. I
know I can sometimes come off abrasive or what have you. I get
that. I
understand that. That's the world we live in. And that's what
needs to
change. That's the evolution that needs to happen is we need to
start
sbreaking this thinking. We need to start breaking our training and
thi
commercialism and all the things that we've been, you know, taught
through advertising and marketing tricks in terms of only
believing people that are already rich and then they need more
money. Like, that
doesn't make any sense, right? So, I'm already again 2 minutes
past where I wanted to be. I'm going to go ahead and cut it off
here pretty
,quick but I want to just leave you with a thought. Please, man.
Please
,please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please,
please
engage with my work on my page, share, spread it around. Don't be
afraid to say to people, hey, this guy deserves your support. This
guy
pdeserves your help. He deserves your attention, right? If I can
blow u
on Facebook and stay blown up, the income from that will cover me,
right? I can make up to $30,000 a month from Facebook. Right now,
you
know, like I said, I got seventy bucks. Need to need to move that
up
and I got a couple of folks that have been following me. Uh
especially
Tony Nelson. I definitely wanted to give a shout out too because
he's
been a friend of mine for a long long time back to the wrestling
group
in the nineties. Um and he's just been sharing everything. And and
liking everything and leaving comments on tons of stuff. And that
is
.the energy I need from like all 5000 of you. I really really need
that
aI need you to make that extra little effort for me. A couple of
times
day. Spend 5 minutes. Dropped by the page. Like the stuff that
I've posted. Share the video is share the articles, all that other
stuff.
Get it out there. Bring people in and let's build this up because
I I
need, you know, I I don't want to use the word miracle because I'm
an
atheist. I don't believe in miracles. But what I need is a break
for
No.one goddamn time in my life. I just need a real break.
11 months of free rent (15+ counting the waived rent from the other
place)
11 months of free food
11 months of free electricity
That's not a break?
It’s a thieving parasite…
Best highlights:
"I've got until December 1st to get enough support under me to find a
place to live. Whether that means being able to buy a place or what,
I don't know." Because based on past success he can absolutely imagine
people giving enough money to buy property outright. And then I
suppose they keep giving to pay the taxes, insurance, maintenance,
heating, electricity, his food, a car and costs for that, new
computers, and a fucking chair worthy of him. He whines he doesn't get
enough to buy a soda- but sure. Newsflash John- your self made
emergency is just that- yours. There is no "we" aside from a few
delusional followers who are as broke as you. Sucks you pissed away
the many months long chance Mona provided for you playing video games.
You got nine weeks left- and instead of finding actual money via a job
it is clear all of us get yet another chance to watch you whine and
cry and panic as you do nothing to help yourself and insist people
should pay you to play on your computer.
"I know that thanks to my *ahem* loving family, I now have an eviction
on my record " Thanks to YOU, John. Anyone who leaves when asked
doesn't end up evicted. Property owner said go- you said no. THAT is
why you have an eviction.
There have been unfortunate new developments.

Does he think he lives in the Monopoly game? Is he blaming the guy in the top hat for all of his problems?

Jo-jo thinks people are out to get him and have been doing so behind the scenes for years.
His imaginary enemies are always keeping him from finding a job, getting viewers, saving up cash and, from appearances, getting a shower and a haircut.
