III THE PYR∆MID SCHEME

Hello again! The updating pace is speeding up as the vocal recordings will start in a week and lyrics has to be done beforehand obviously. Lead guitars are already recorded and bass recordings are in two weeks. After that the main "instruments" are recorded and then it`s time for the extra "stuff", we`ll see later what that is going to be.

Now it is time to present the third (and second last) song of the EP, some kind of bottom of the "drama" wave. Or the peak, depends on the perspective. Like the first half of the EP has implied something massive begins to take shape.

THE PYR∆MID SCHEME

As people are nowadays becoming more and more aware of the actual, problematic nature of money it should be easy to perceive the big picture more clearly. So, as we know, money is not really anything valuable, it is not connected to gold or anything else, money is debt. So whenever bank makes a loan simultaneously the same amount of money is created. When the loan is paid back the same amount of money disappears but the interest remains. That`s how banks make their profit, obviously. Due to the fact that almost all the money is debt (and have to be paid back to the bankers eventually) in order to avoid "removing" too much money from economy (and decrease economic growth) have to take more debt. This creates the infinite necessity of economic growth because at the moment of making a loan the interest is not included. Thus in order to avoid removing too much money from economy by paying back the debt (and especially the interest) the economy has to grow nonstop. Perfect system! And perfect scheme.

Basically this is all about systematical money transfer to the bankers from the rest of the people. The system is very complex and it is difficult to question something that is not understood. And again the people who benefits of it are the ones who could change it, but not the ones who suffer. The politicians who could have an affect on it are bribed by the big corporations (and banks), looking after their own interests (also literally). That`s an interesting vision about democracy. Seems more like plutocracy.

Luckily the last song still remains so there might be some change…

II M∆INSTRE∆M

Good whatever time of day! It`s been a while again but not as long as last time. The writing pace of this blog will speed up a bit from now on as we have started the actual recordings of the EP. So, we started the recordings by drums and it should be finished in a week from now, hopefully in the schedule! There is also a video blog coming soon regarding the recording itself, by the way. As the EP is progressing in terms of recording, it is convenient that lyrics are progressing too. This blog writing is a good sign of that progression. Let`s say a few words about the second song of the EP.

M∆INSTRE∆M

Nowadays nearly everything is mainstream: music, movies, languages etc. Unfortunately we have also so called mainstream media. In general, people have outsourced their thinking and brains because of mainstream media. In a sense people are floating in a stream which carries us in a way that we don`t need, or should I say we don`t realize to do anything. If something is published in the mainstream media it has to be true: almost everyone will see the same because and no one is questioning it, obviously, since there isn`t many other sources to question it either. Mostly the initial source is some huge news agency like Reuters or CNN but let`s consider following: what if the owner of every big news agency would be the same? Would it give the power of propaganda and disinformation to some non-governmental policymaker exclusively? Yep, it would.

The worst part is that we can`t know that for sure. People are easy to control and distract by something irrelevant with right timing and suitable subject, for example about celebrities, fears and so on... Yellow press is an decent example of this phenomena. The fundamental problem of it (like in many other cases) is our ignorance. In an organization a level is always accountable only for the higher one and eventually no one seems to know what is happening on the top of this freaky pyramid.

When the order is given we obey but where does the order come from? Let`s find out...
