Soon, The Only Ones Not In Jail Will Be The Jailers
Witches and Saints
By Joey Racano
'Stand with your back to the Roasting Root
Jailer lights the fire with a tall jack boot
Never get a chance to speak your side of it is moot
Prepare to meet your fate at the Roasting Root'
December 15, 2017 "Information Clearing House" -As another one bites the dust, and with others being added to the list of the accused by the hour, one cannot help but marvel at the ability of society to break down as rapidly as embers from a Salem fire.
It is obvious that the current climate of social fear being wrought across 2017 America is at a level not seen since 1939 Germany and has de-evolved into nothing more than a witch hunt. For instance, how many saints can you name? Saint Francis, my favorite. Saint Joseph, like the aspirin for children, Sant Bonaventure, I think that's a school or an amusement park... But really if you can name them on one hand you may be a saint yourself.

But now how many are not saints? All the
rest of us, I would say! We are, by the
millions, wickedly dirty little creatures
with many-a-skeleton in our closets. And
don't tell me you didn't. You know what you
did. Lying is only lying to yourself,
because we don't really care- we'll likely
get to you eventually, anyway.
So here we are, attacking, accusing, ruining
lives and careers (and don't misunderstand
me, some of these bastards deserve it), but
what is really happening here is a breakdown
of society, a horrible and unhealthy climate
of fear of being the next to have our shirt
stripped from our back, revealing 'the mark'
that will send us to the burning stake.
And it is all disproportionately affecting
the left end of the political spectrum, with
all of us winding up the losers. And then
there's the role of money. A comedian whips
it out in front of a couple of colleagues
and flogs the mule, and heads to the
gallows, while another, wealthier comedian
known to be a serial rapist, drugged and
molested untold numbers of women over the
course of a career only to return them home,
soiled, to their families -along with money
for a car or college- and still he walks
free, due to huge money and influence.
But one thing is to be sure, with the
escalating witch hunt now racing across the
social fabric of America, soon, the only
ones not in jail will be the jailers. It is
easily enough done; government just keeps on
collecting all manor of information, every
thing about every one. All to be used one
day when the process of social data mining
finally stops at the station of our own
little town, then to be pored over until the
jailers find something, anything, they can
use. And then you are denounced, more people
come forward, and you are tarred, feathered,
tied to the roasting root and burned. And on
to the next.
