Flag day and the POTUS’s birthday on June 14th, along with July 4th, are timely reminders about the need to reverse the demise of our democracy, enabled by the Declaration of Unfairness and the Big Brutal Bill.
Neo-terrorism is a media propaganda war of words, waged by a psychopathic disregard for the integrity of truth-seeking and transparent accountability. Neo-terrorist propagandists exploit projections, scapegoat, evoke divisive distractions, create confusion, and generate chaos to gain and monopolize political power. They divide and conquer their opponents to create dysfunctional polarizations, toxic divisiveness, religious and political self-righteous fundamentalism, the blind unconditional loyalties of rigid identity politics, the futility of cancel-culture wars, and the endless perpetuation of tribal warfare.

Verse 1
Imagine democracy rotten to the core, at war against we, the people,
AI escalating inequities with tech-bro billionaires.’
Robbing power from the people to give it to the rich,
Our propaganda war has conned we, the people.
This is our Vietnam War today, not some distant jungle far away.
Imagine a people taught to believe the truth is lies.
Imagine a strongman who declared he alone could fix us,
Who called the press the enemy and bent the courts to his will.
Chorus
Don’t give us the lies!
*(Don’t give us the lies!)*
Just give us the truth!
*(Give us the truth!)*
No more fabricated wars!
The fake freedom flag has got us screwed.
The war on democracy is not over.
(Not over!)
All dressed up in red.
Just give us the truth!
*(Give us the truth!)*
They’re counting on us to play dead.
Verse 2
We filmed the ICE abductions on the streets
And they called the footage a lie.
They fired the inspectors
Who had the nerve to ask them why.
They packed the courts with loyalists,
They purged three hundred thousand from the corps.
They named the peaceful protesters,
Enemies, terrorists and much more.
They called this freedom.just for you.
They said trust us with the power that we’re taking from you
The gaps between haves, have-some and have-nots keeping widening
Our democracy is drowning. Power to the people is just a punchline.
Chorus: call and response
Don’t give us the lies!
*(Don’t give us the lies!)*
Don’t get fooled again.
(Don’t get fooled again!)
Just give us the truth!
*(Give us the truth!)*
Not fog, not spin, not doublespeak!
The Big Beautiful Bill is a war on we, the people.
(War on the people!)
We call it the Big Brutal Bill.
A boot on the neck of we, the people.
(Boot on the neck!)
Bridge
There is a moment in every documentary
where the camera stops following the spokesman
and holds on an ordinary face.
Not a general. Not a president.
Just a person at a kitchen table.
Holding a bill they cannot pay.
Staring at a letter from an agency that no longer exists.
The war on democracy does not always arrive with tanks.
Sometimes it arrives as a budget cut.
Sometimes as a purge. Sometimes as a judge who owes a favor.
Sometimes as the silence where a watchdog used to bark.
The battlefield is a kitchen table.
A ballot box. A classroom. A free press.
The mirror we are still brave enough to look into.
Give us the truth. That is all. That is everything.”
Verse 3
Springsteen heartland, ordinary casualties named
She worked the county health office for twenty-seven years,
She knew every family’s file and every family’s fears.
They sent the termination notice on a Tuesday afternoon.
She sat down at that kitchen table and stared at the empty room.
He coached the science team, believed in evidence and light.
They pulled the federal funding, said the facts were not quite right.
He drives an hour to the library to read what used to be free.
He says: I am not political. I just believe what I can see.
She marched in May with a sign that said one word: Enough.
Not left. Not right. Just a woman who had heard enough.
Who remembered what a country was before the fog rolled in,
Who refused to let the silence be the place the truth had been.
Pre-Final Chorus
All we are saying is give truth a chance.
(Give truth a chance.)
All we are saying is check the facts.
(Check the facts.)
Our free press is not our enemy.
Science is not a ruse. Courts are not a loyalty test.
A vote still gets to choose.
All we are saying is give democracy a chance.
(Give democracy a chance.)
Final verse
Neo-terrorism has declared war on democracy,
A propaganda war waged with words.
No regard for truth or transparent accountability,
The deep state of systemic psychopathy
Induced the cult trance of DTMP.
Don the Con is just the poster boy.
This fake freedom flag is seventy years in the making.
Wake up, unwoke America. You lost your freedom of thought.
Now we, the people, refuse to be the silent lambs.
Dissent is the gasoline for democracy.
Save the USA from MAGA fascism!
Save us from white supremacy!
Give us back our freedom!
Outro Chorus
Just give us the truth!
*(Give us the truth!)*
We are the ones who keep it!
Give democracy a chance!
*(Give democracy a chance!)*
We are the ones who need it!
No more war on democracy!
*(No more war on democracy!)*
The fog is lifting now!
Give us the light of truth!
*(Give us the light of truth!)*
The people take the vow!
Make America Think Again!
*(Make America Think Again!)*
Make America Free Again!
*(Make America Free Again!)*
Make America Fair Again!
Co-create fair, free, flourishing futures for all
*(For all! For all! For all!)*

Liberate from the reductionist cults of indoctrination to emancipate metanoia and enable pronoia
The purpose of these songs is to evoke engagement in the H.E.N. process, which emancipates us from the marketing cults of reductionist indoctrination, both MAGA and progressive purism, that scale up scleronoia (the closed-mindedness of dichotomous thinking) and sklerocardia (the emotional hardening of heart) of self-righteous tribal fundamentalism. The aim is to liberate metanoia and enable pronoia.
Metanoia evokes transformative shifts in mind, heart, and soul, creating changes both large and small in our worldviews. Pronoia engenders a foundational collective trust that the universe and our cultures are aligned to strive, thrive, and flourish by doing good for all people and the planet. This orientation is the mirror image of paranoia, which co-elevates an entitled, virtuous victimhood and the belief that the world is against us. Where paranoia projects hostile intent onto the field and justifies defensive extraction, pronoia perceives our world as participatory, generous, and co-creative, and so makes regenerative action psychologically possible. C5FA metanoia is the pronoia through which we cultivate equity meta-governance and build launchpads for the Equity Moonshot.
Explore this further by listening to the poetic lyrics of the metaphorical song “Equity Moonshot.” It is designed to evoke deep inquiry and learning about how to understand and address the complex entanglement of self-inflicted wicked problems that arises from a meta-crisis of systemic power-abuse dynamics. This meta-crisis sets up our poly-crisis, which in turn arises from living beyond seven of the nine planetary boundaries.

Create your own songs to build a tsunami song movement
We need to build a synergistic movement of inspirational and protest songs. Inspirational songs generate aspirational energy and build strategies for C5FA pronoia. Protest songs cultivate the metanoia needed to wake up unwoke America. Without protest songs to evoke metanoia, we will fail to resuscitate our democracy on Code Red.
We need a people’s movement to empower our individual and collective sovereignty: to deconstruct the deep state of neo-terrorism, unravel its systemic psychopathy, and break the cult trances of mass psychosis and delusion. This calls for a peasants’ revolt against the TechLords of techno-feudalism, an uprising to emancipate us from the reductionist cults of indoctrination in this land of liberty.
