⁣The thing about songs—especially blues songs—is that their origins can often have long roots.
That is especially the case with the hit track “Black Betty” from the ’70s British-American rock band Ram Jam. The song, which was made famous more recently in the 2001 film Blow, is an all-time rocker, buoyed by big guitars and a big voice. But while it rose to fame again in the early 21st century, the song’s beginnings started in the early 20th.

Origins: a Whip, a Wagon, or a Woman?
The original song, “Black Betty,” started as a work song, sung predominately by Black people in the early 20th century. Though its roots may even extend beyond that into the 19th. While it may seem obvious the song is about a woman named “Betty,” that meaning is likely not accurate—at least, not entirely.

The song, like many early blues songs, has ties to the great songwriter and performer Lead Belly. (Another famous tune attributed to him is “In the Pines,” made especially famous by Nirvana in the band’s MTV Unplugged performance, then called “My Girl.”)
Some sources claim that “Black Betty” was written by Lead Belly, though others claim that he adapted it from even earlier versions. Because of its populist origins, the song has many recordings—more recently, Tom Jones took a stab at it. But the most famous in modern day is Ram Jam’s rock version, which is sung with slightly modified lyrics.

While some may think “Black Betty” refers to a woman, others claim it’s a nickname for any number of objects, including a bottle of whiskey, a whip, or even a penitentiary transfer wagon. In Northern England and southern Scotland, wrote David Hackett Fischer, the term “Black Betty” was offered used for a bottle of whiskey. That euphemism was later adopted in the country regions of the eastern United States.

In 1736, American Founding Father Benjamin Franklin published The Drinker’s Dictionary and referenced the term, writing, “He’s kiss’d black Betty.” Other older references include the U.S. wedding tradition in which two groomsmen are pitted against one another in a race. The prize? A bottle of whiskey, known as “Black Betty,” according to Caldwell’s Illustrated Combination Centennial Atlas of Washington Co. Pennsylvania of 1876.

In the 1934 book, American Ballads and Folk Songs, John A. and Alan Lomax write that “‘Black Betty’ … is the whip that was and is used in some Southern prisons.” There are several more references in early 20th century writings to the term referring to a whip. Still, others refer to it as a synonym for the “Black Maria,” which was a term used for the automobile that transferred prisoners to their holding centers.

In Life Flows On in Endless Song: Folk Songs and American History, author Robert Vells writes: “As late as the 1960s, the vehicle that carried men to prison was known as ‘Black Betty,’ though the same name may have also been used for the whip that so often was laid on the prisoners’ backs, ‘bam-ba-lam.'” In more modern references, a “Black Betty” may have been a fast car or motorcycle.

First Recordings
According to reports, the song was first formally recorded in 1933 by U.S. musicologists John and Alan Lomax. It was performed a cappella by convict James “Iron Head” Baker and a group of prisoners at Central State Farm, in Sugar Land, Texas. At the time, Baker was 63 years old.
That Lomax recording was supplied to the Library of Congress. The song also appears in altered field recordings taken in 1934, 1936, and 1939 by musicologists.

Lead Belly, who had a strong relationship with the Lomaxes, recorded a version in 1939 in New York for the Musicraft Records label. Musicraft released that recording that year as part of a five-disc album, Negro Sinful Songs sung by Lead Belly. Lead Belly’s version was also recorded a cappella, with handclaps. Later versions, though, utilized guitar accompaniment. In 1964, for example, Odetta recorded a version with musical instruments.
In 1964, singer Dave Ray recorded a version of the song. And in 1968, Manfred Mann released a version of the song on their LP, Mighty Garvey! That song was titled “Big Betty.” Mann’s band performed the song for the BBC but it was never released.

Lyrics
The lyrics to the song are as much rhythmic placeholders as they are bits of a story. For example, read the first stanza (from the Ram Jam version) below and notice how it’s as staccato as an electric guitar:
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-lam)
The damn thing gone wild (Bam-ba-lam)
She said, “I’m worryin’ outta mind” (Bam-ba-lam)
The damn thing gone blind (Bam-ba-lam)
I said oh, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)

On the face of it, it would seem “Black Betty” is a person. But in the eyes and mind of an artist, many objects can be personified. And a song with many interpretations is the best kind. Perhaps, as such, there is no “real” meaning. Just many meanings that many people can grasp onto if they so choose.

It continues:
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
She really gets me high (Bam-ba-lam)
You know that’s no lie (Bam-ba-lam)
She’s so rock steady (Bam-ba-lam)
And she’s always ready (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Get it!

Ram Jam Version
Frontman Bill Bartlett formed a band called Starstruck early in his career. While in that band, the musician took Lead Belly’s 59-second version of “Black Betty” and released a revised version on his band’s TruckStar label. It became a regional hit.

Later, producers Jerry Kasenetz and Jeffry Katz formed a new group around Bartlett in 1977 in New York City, which they called Ram Jam. They released a version of “Black Bett” and it became a national hit. It reached No. 18 on the singles charts in the U.S. and it was a top-10 hit in the U.K. and Australia. Since then, the song has appeared in a number of pop culture arenas, including the 2005 film The Dukes of Hazzard, and in figure skater Javier Fernandez’s performance at the World Championships in 2015 in which he won Gold. It appeared in Blow, as mentioned before, and in video games, as well.

Boycott
When the Ram Jam version was released, the NAACP and Congress of Racial Equality called for a boycott due to the song’s lyrics. That boycott failed, however. And the song rose up the charts in 1977. And the band’s self-titled debut album hit No. 40 in the U.S., No. 4 in the Netherlands, and No. 33 in Canada. It was the band’s biggest success and remains so to date.

Cover Versions
As mentioned, Tom Jones attempted a cover, which has earned success for its modern bent. Other notable versions include renditions by the hard rock band, Spiderbait. And the big-voiced Larkin Poe, both of which you can check out below.

⁣EXPOSED: GOVERNMENT EUTHANIZED THE ELDERLY IN 2020! - BLAMED "COVID" FOR DEATHS!

Josh Sigurdson reports on the new documents that have come out showing that the UK government and the NHS refused treatment of the elderly in 2020 in countless nursing homes, putting them on the "end of life pathway."

Documents released via the Freedom Of Information Act show how the government would let the elderly die of different ailments or disorders and blame it on "covid." The documents also show that the NHS had the elderly euthanized to "get them out of the way."

The number of elderly who died in nursing homes in 2020 compared to any other year is dramatic and it's not due to so-called "Covid19." The statistics clearly note this.

These documents are not being talked about in the media... At all. With these developments on top of the recent leak of Whatsapp messages between Matt Hancock and others in the government where he called for "scaring the pants" off of people with covid propaganda, one must ask the question, "How are these people not in prison for what they've done?"
In this video, we break down this latest development and what it means.

VfB just happens to have J B Campbell's Behind the Holocaust still available, so let's see an unprinted excerpt:

We are today witnessing the dangers of precious metals. The only metals that are precious to me are steel, lead and brass. Gold and silver, while intoxicating in their wonderfulness, are just as dangerous and volatile as liquid intoxicants and just as likely to make you lose your wits – and your fortune. There is nothing righteous or magical or even necessary about a nation’s currency being “backed” by gold or silver. This was proved by Adolf Hitler during the 1930s. It was proved so conclusively that the Jews want to make sure that it’s never tried again. The best way to ensure this is to associate debt-free currency with mass murder!

For some reason, the Jews of the world wanted to destroy Germany. We can probably never understand their insane drive to do this but the facts cannot be denied. They also wanted to destroy the Russian ruling class and the Russian people, as we saw happen following their takeover of Russia in 1917. And we see that they apparently wanted to destroy the American people from an early time, dating at least since 1913. The destruction of the Russians, Germans and Europeans in general depended on their takeover of the American banking system in 1913, because it was followed closely by the totalitarian devastation that began in 1914 with the assassination of the Austrian archduke by Gavrilo Princip.

World War I ended in 1918 and this began Germany’s great misery. They were blamed by the victors for starting the war and were forced to pay “reparations” that became so extreme by the early 1920s that their money became worthless. Hundreds of thousands of Germans starved to death because of the money and because of a blockade by England and America to prevent food from getting in. A food convoy was organized by Henry Ford, Herbert Hoover and Norway’s Vidkun Quisling to rescue the starving people of Germany and others in Europe. Quisling’s name has been turned into a dirty word by the Jews and is misused today by people who should know better. He was a great humanitarian and took Germany’s side against the forces of Judaism and Bolshevism for over twenty years.

Adolf Hitler, like Franklin Roosevelt, came to power democratically in January, 1933, in the depths of the world depression. Both Germany and America were starving because of the actions of the Federal Reserve System, now twenty years old. They were starving because the Fed had “deflated” the money supply, withdrew currency from circulation and refused to issue new currency. Credit to farmers and businesses and individuals was denied for no particular reason. Roosevelt outlawed gold and began its confiscation in April, with punishment of ten years in prison and ten thousand dollars in fines. Once he got all of our gold, which was then priced at about twenty dollars an ounce, he raised the price to thirty-two dollars. That made it the biggest, boldest swindle up until that time. Of course, the Federal Reserve System swindlers got the gold – and the massive increase in value.

Hitler came to power over a bankrupt and starving country with unemployment at roughly 50%! The Americans had stolen all Germany’s gold by the early ‘20s, so there was no basis for a monetary system other than to keep borrowing from the Jewish crooks on Wall Street that had given Germany the Young Plan and the Dawes Plan of perpetual indebtedness to private bankers masquerading as the “central bank.” What to do?

Hitler and Hjalmar Schacht issued debt-free currency based on Lincoln’s debt-free currency. What they did led to the swift regeneration of the German economy and the world’s greatest prosperity of the working class, while the rest of the world stayed mired in the Great Depression being run by the sadistic central bankers. This was the worst possible crime and had to be punished by the most terrible war in human history, including fire-bombings of entire cities and deliberate mass starvations of millions following the war. Our nuclear bombs would have dropped on Germans but they weren’t ready in time, so they were dropped on Germany’s allies who were trying to surrender. Please refer to Theodore Kaufman’s charming little book, Germany Must Perish!, which was the basis of the Morgenthau Plan for Germany, executed mercilessly by Dwight David Eisenhower, which resulted in the starvation deaths of millions of Germans.

⁣AI Overview
A Google search for "frazzledrip image reverse search pitbull attack" directly doesn't reveal any images of "frazzledrip". The term "Frazzledrip" is connected to a conspiracy theory, not real events or images involving pitbull attacks. There are reports of pit bull attacks and images associated with those events, however, they are unrelated to the Frazzledrip conspiracy theory.
Here's why you won't find images of a pitbull attack related to "Frazzledrip" via a reverse image search:
Frazzledrip is a hoax: It's a debunked conspiracy theory claiming a nonexistent video shows Hillary Clinton torturing and murdering a young girl. It's associated with a conspiracy theory and not based on real events or images of pitbull attacks.
The theory is entirely unfounded: There is no evidence to support the claims made in the Frazzledrip conspiracy theory. Multiple conspiracy theories, including QAnon and Pizzagate, overlap with Frazzledrip and are not supported by any evidence.
The purported video doesn't exist: Snopes and other fact-checkers have confirmed there is no such video as described in the Frazzledrip narrative. The conspiracy theory describes a fabricated event.
To summarize, the Frazzledrip conspiracy theory is a false and harmful narrative, and any attempts to link it to actual events like pitbull attacks are misleading and inaccurate

⁣🚨 285 times more stillbirths. Read that again.

Researchers went into VAERS and analyzed pregnancy-related reports tied to the Tdap vaccine in pregnant women. What they found should be front-page news on every outlet in America.

🛑Stillbirth signal: reporting odds ratio of 285.77. Pre-term delivery: 196.8. Fetal death: 140.83.

That's 285 TIMES more stillbirth reports. 196.8 TIMES more pre-term delivery reports. 140 TIMES more fetal death reports.

A reporting odds ratio of 2 is considered a signal worth investigating. This is 285. And the corporate media's response? Mother Jones is already running cover, framing the story as a plan to use AI tools to mine what they are calling "unverified vaccine injury claims."

Unverified. That is the word they chose.

Here is what is verified. The system that is supposed to protect pregnant women and their unborn children works like this: test the vaccine poorly, approve it, inject it into the population, and let VAERS catch the carnage.
The people are the fourth phase of testing. The final phase of testing. And VAERS chronically underreports. Everyone in this field knows that.

So what we are actually looking at here is the floor. Not the ceiling.

The researchers who found these signals are not even calling for the vaccine to be pulled. They are asking for active surveillance studies. Now. Immediately. That is the bare minimum. That is the lowest possible bar.

And we are still waiting.

Frank Zappa defines Fascist Theocracy in 1987 on Crossfire

http://churchandstate.org.uk/2....015/04/frank-zappa-w

In 1986, Frank Zappa engaged in a fiery debate about dirty lyrics and censorship based on religious morality in this classic clip from CNN’s “Crossfire.”

Debating with John Lofton, conservative columnist for the Washington Times, Zappa noted that

The biggest threat to America today is not communism. It’s moving America toward a fascist theocracy. Everything that’s happened under the Reagan Administration is steering us right down that pipe.

Asked later in the interview to give “one example of a fascist theocracy” by co-host Tom Braden, Zappa replied:
When you have a government that prefers a certain moral code derived from a certain religion, and that moral code turns into legislation to suit one certain religious point of view, and if that code happens to be very very right wing, almost toward Attila the Hun…

Lofton responded: “Well then you are an anarchist. Every form of civil government is based on some kind of morality Frank,” but Zappa set him straight, curtly remarking: “Morality in terms of behavior, not in terms of theology!”

You can watch the exchange, below, followed by a partial transcript.

TRANSCRIPT, Frank Zappa on CNN’s March 28th, 1986 episode of “Crossfire”

Frank ZAPPA: I’m not going to give you a civics lesson, but I can tell you one thing: we must not see eye-to-eye on a government that must forbid things in order to protect families.
John LOFTON (Washington Times): What is the government’s role? You’ve told me several times what it should do.
ZAPPA: What about defense? What about national defense?
LOFTON: Our families are under attack from people like you with these lyrics.
ZAPPA: Could I make a comment about National Defense: the biggest threat to America today is not communism. It’s moving America toward a fascist theocracy. And everything that’s happened under the Reagan Administration is steering us right down that pipe.
Robert NOVAK: Oh, Mr Zappa…
ZAPPA: Yes, MISTER Zappa…
NOVAK: Do you really think…I mean…
ZAPPA: I really think!
NOVAK: All kidding aside. Is this country, with the permissiveness, that we are moving toward a fascist theocracy?
ZAPPA: You bet we are buddy.
NOVAK: Do you think that things like this would ever have happened…
ZAPPA: Give me that famous smile, buddy.
NOVAK: When we were twenty, when we were kids…you’re about my age?
ZAPPA: I’m forty-five.
NOVAK: Well, I’m fifty-five. Do you think that when I was a kid that they would permit songs like that to be sold. I mean permissiveness is a game. I mean you’re not really serious if you saying we’re going toward a fascist theocracy.
ZAPPA: That’s right we ARE!
Tom BRADEN: Wait a minute, give me one example of a fascist theocracy.
ZAPPA: When you have a government that prefers a certain moral code derived from a certain religion, and that moral code turns into legislation to suit one certain religious point of view, and if that code happens to be very very right wing, almost toward Attila the Hun…
LOFTON: Well then you are an anarchist. Every form of civil government is based on some kind of morality Frank.
ZAPPA: Morality in terms of behavior, not in terms of theology!
LOFTON: Well of course, but look, I mean, I couldn’t believe in terms of your lyrics, I mean, uh….
NOVAK: Wait a minute gentlemen, we have to take a break now.

Hey, Frank - ya kinda missed the boat here, guy...but thanks for the basic lesson, at least - and great albums 🎤🎸💿📻

I really do not buy the robot replacement theory.
It's very difficult to keep technology running.
The more complicated the tech is, the not difficult it is to keep it running.
Something like a robot is going to require a dozen 120+ iq people with different skillsets to stay running.
For a lot of jobs, it's just not going to be worth it.
For the others, you'll be replacing the cost of human labor with the cost of engineers and technicians.

⁣In 1988, American Execution expert, Fred Leuchter, was hired to investigate the execution gas chambers from the “Holocaust.”

He went into this investigation with no political opinion, but came away certain those gas Chambers were never used for mass murder.

In the interest of fairness, let's include a dissenting view:

Fred Leuchter is a con artist - not an "expert for execution technologies" - that engaged in embezzlement, knowingly sold a defective lethal injection machine to an Illinois prison, and never worked with gas chambers. https://t.co/Z2INz06lB0

I know, I know—another Epstein video. You’re probably sick of hearing about it.

But here’s why I can’t let this die: they’re counting on us getting tired, moving on, forgetting about it. That’s exactly what they want.

I sat down with Nick Bryant, the investigative journalist who released Epstein’s Black Book and flight logs back in 2015—before any of this was mainstream news. He’s got new information on the DOJ’s latest cover-up, and it’s worse than you think. We get into why Pam Bondi promised transparency then delivered redacted pages. Why Mike Johnson Destroyed the House investigation before it could even get a vote. And why both sides—Republicans and Democrats—are working overtime to bury this.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about children being abus*d by people with money and power—and a system that protects the predators instead of the victims.

They want us to forget. I’m not letting that happen.

⁣Traffic Dear Mr Fantasy - Live At The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, 1972

"Dear Mr. Fantasy" is a rock song by Traffic from their 1967 album, Mr. Fantasy. Jim Capaldi contributed the lyrics, while Steve Winwood and Chris Wood composed the music.

In a song review for AllMusic, Lindsay Planer writes:

A slightly trippy dark and foreboding tone permeates both the lyrics and arrangement contrasting the rock-solid pop delivery. Tying it all together are Winwood’s emotive and residually mournful lyrics. With a distinct blue-eyed soul intonation – perfected during a seminal stint in the Spencer Davis Group – he effortlessly increases the drama with a combination of slightly behind the beat timing and empathic vocals.

Dave Matthews mentioned this song specifically as part of his speech inducting Traffic into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and this is the song performed by the surviving members of Traffic as part of that same induction.
