Shut Down Victim Survival Kit

Let the dancing asshole do his little Victory Dance. We all have to play our own little private parts, and his is no exception.

Don’t fret about it. He’s an idiot. He knows nothing, can’t remember what happened a second ago, and is totally unaware of anything beyond how much television time he gets per day.

He reacts, period.

The Senators are equally stupid, unaware that they have triggered a FULL-SCALE DEPRESSION — they have thoroughly and irreversibly tipped the balance of the ECONOMY to the degree that, even if the ShutDown were ended today, it’s too late to save the people — too many foreclosures, too many debts, too many broken promises.

It’s beyond repair and the slippery slope slide is starting today, right now, today — as in today.

You’ll see the economy literally crumbling before your eyes, and nobody can stop it. There’s a world-wide crash coming right now, this very year, and you’ll be lucky to live through it.

I have a solution, but you’re not going to like it.

You’ll need to hit the streets, looking for the rainbow, but it can be accomplished, it can be achieved.

You CAN survive those heartless bastards in Washington, but remember that they are miserable, greedy, mean and entirely without soul, although they go to church every Sunday and pray to their weird racist god, “Mister Jesus” — he’s the guy to which they aspire, with their “What Would Jesus Do?”.

Well, first of all, he’d raise the dead, cast out lepers, heal the sick and feed the poor, but not they way they tell it today.

The fact is that if the modern Christians are like Christ, he was a miserable, greedy, stingy, vindictive, salacious and pernicious creature, much like Donald John Trump used to be before he got religion.

You’ll enjoy the scene as the Western World crumbles into dust. The only pleasure the Senators get — this much is clear — is to observe without sympathy, the torment and misery, and to delight in the screams of pain and suffering from The People.

Don’t get mad. Get even! You CAN get even — it’s legal, moral and ethical — and here’s how you can do it right now, today!

 

It’s easy to survive the ShutDown, but you’ll have to shag your ass off the couch and actually DO something, and you’ll have to alter your headspace to accommodate the New Reality, so the odds are that you’ll simply sink back into near-oblivion and sleepwalk the remainder of your life, which might be surprisingly short, if those Washington Creeps have their way with us.

 

It used to be that you could open a shop and make a buck. Today, you can’t even depend on a GOVERNMENT job to be reliable and dependable. You can end up on the street in ein augenblick — in the blink of an eye. How would you like to be an FBI special agent, you’re out in the field, and you get a message — “You’re fired!” — which will someday be known as “The Call of the Donald”.

You don’t have to believe me, but in my own time-frame back in the 37th century, the only thing we know of Trump is the purse-lipped “Sphincter-Mouth Mask” — until now, nobody from our time-frame knew the name Trump or what it meant.

I’ll be delighted to explain to 37th century audiences about Trump, but actually, the big surprise of the 21st century is that Mitch McConnell is singularly responsible for the downfall of Western Civilization and the Rule of Law, ain’t that something to write home about???

I know what you’re thinking — Mitch McConnell is at best a name that has long since sunk into oblivion, but I like a game that has a few plot twists to it, don’t you???

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, your job security is at risk, your home and mortgage are at risk, your ability to put food on the table is at risk, all because a little boy is having a tantrum.

“Baby Donnie” we used to call him back in military academy days. But he has his finger on the nuclear trigger now, so you’d BETTER pay attention and do his bidding, or get him impeached, and fast!

Yep, it’s gotten that far — I’m impartial and removed from the conflict, but within a few days, the economic depression will have hit the gallery even worse than it has already, and that’s pretty bad.

Bad Times are not coming, they’re here.

If you work anywhere NEAR a federal employee or contractor, your livelihood is in danger, and you’d better act FAST or lose your job, your home, your car, your family and your friends.

If that’s not your chosen fate, you need to DO something, and FAST, or the sheer overwhelm of the Trump Effect will take you down. Here are the simple steps to survival:

• Get hold of some rocks, pennies, wrappers, mountings and stuff — you can find out what to get by contacting me personally through the usual channels, and paint the rocks, mount up the pennies, wrap them in wrappers and put business cards inside the wrappers. Watch the weight, because it’s going to be burdensome to haul around more than five or six pounds of stuff for the entire day, which you’ll spend entirely on your feet, walking the streets and going into businesses and ringing doorbells in homes, going door-to-door and person-to-person for about 8 hours, rain or shine.
• Get out there on the street and find some places that will let you set up a trunk show or countertop display for about $25 a month. Some places charge up to $200 for a one square foot space on a countertop, but make sure they have the traffic and do the business to justify an expense like that. Our gallery offers space at $25, $50 and $100 a month, according to what the artist can afford per month, and in the ShutDown, it’s hard to come up with a buck, let alone a bunch of them, I know.
• Make a bunch of painted rocks and glue-on coin jewelry, bag it, and get out there on the street with it. Find a market parking lot and hang there for about an hour, then move on, and keep moving. Find a busy street and walk it with your chest peddler’s pack, which you can order from me directly or build one yourself. It’s a chest pack that carries a countertop display — you carry all the rest of your backup stock in your pocket-vest — I use a battle vest I was issued in … well, never mind, I can’t tell you where, but the year was 1963, and the pack is still in great condition. I’ve hardly been to war for years and years.
• You’ll need a backup TRUNK SHOW in the trunk of your car. Again, that’s a special rig that fits in the trunk and opens easily to show your merchandise. This makes getting a store obsolete. You merely do a “Pop-Up” sale for an hour by the side of the road — preferably a COUNTY road, not a city road. If you can get a seller’s permit or street vendor’s license, the time to do that is NOW, before you get rousted or busted, not after.
• There’s nothing people like more than their own portrait, hence the “selfie” craze, and they also like their own name, as evidenced by the fact that if you put someone into a closed room with a pencil and a piece of paper, they will write their name many times on the paper while they’re sitting there waiting. Put a bunch of rocks out there with first names and last names on them. You can add a line of embossed metal name tags if you’ve acquired that skill or have access through prior lives to previous skills acquired, which is my secret. No one person can live long enough to get the skills I demonstrate, and I do that simply to indicate that prior life skills are available with practice — of course, with practice. It doesn’t just happen; you have to MAKE it happen, and that means Positive Action. If you don’t know what that means or how to accomplish Positive Action, contact me and I’ll do my best to enlighten you — don’t thank me, it’s my job which I do without getting paid, as usual, which is about the same thing as being a government employee these days, eh?
• Find a Sweet Spot somewhere in your neighborhood where you can hang out and sell stuff for the whole day, which means you can make music to attract a buying crowd, sell your CDs, if you’ve followed my advice and made some, or sell mine, plus my DVDs and books, if you wish, or sell your own. I spend the past 45 years getting ready for this emergency, and I’ve been predicting it all along, in Slime Wars, Trump is a Four-Letter Word and My Life as a Boy, so get reading!
• Try to learn the rap. Every good salesperson has a rap. It’s constructed from psycho-emotional tags and buzz phrases, and again, if you don’t have one or don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, get in touch and we’ll set you up with a rap that fits your own individual style. If you want to really get with it, attend a “ShutDown Survival Workshop” and get yourself completely set up with a survival plan and the skills to apply it.
• Find a way to sell your shit online. Ebay is pretty much dead to the small seller these days — it’s responsive only to the Big Boys’ adverts. Etsy is better for the small seller, but has far less action. There really isn’t a GOOD online place to sell your shit — they’re all right, but the volume is MUCH too low to do you any economic good.
• RECRUIT others to help you — the more there are, the likelier you’ll sell, pretty much the plan for Hare Krishna devotees at ISKON — when they see a bunch of you coming toward them, they’ll buy, to avoid a confrontation. Use the element of surprise if such a thing is possible. Work out an EXACT plan for splitting the proceeds BEFORE you take a group onto the street, or you can expect trouble later on.
• Work your rap with emotion, and try to GET the emotion as you travel the street. You might take a class or two in comedy, to get your sales up in volume.
• Learn the SIGNS — the street will be happy, sad, funny, fearful, cramped or busy, and all of those “Street States” will profoundly affect your sales and your ability to remain on the street safely and without fear of interdiction from the Gestapo or the local police.
• DRESS the part — think of it as a public performance, and work to get the “feel” of the street, the “feel” of selling and the “feel” of public indifference. You’re selling to bots, and there’s nobody home. When you knock on the door of consciousness, they might wake up momentarily, which is your chance to make the sale. You’ll find street vendor clothing and gear of all kinds on my Zazzle pages, Cafe Press pages and in other similar venues, and that includes yard signs and posters and ball caps and t-shirts and more. If you cannot find them, contact me.
• GET READY for rejection. You’ll need to handle rejection, humiliation and more — the streets are crammed with Born-Again Bigots, like that MAGA-capped little bastard who insulted the tribal elder. Don’t even TRY to speak to, or sell to, a MAGA-capped robot. They only know one thing — that you’re a dirty rotten druggie commie immigrant, and you need rat-packing. I did mention that you’ll probably want to take a Karate course before trying street work — I’ve had to talk my way out of several dangerous interactions on the street just because I’m a senior, and there’s a recent rise in the popularity of killing seniors without prior warning. Just be ready for an attack — and I’m serious — it could happen without warning at any moment.

Well, that’s the basics. There’s a LOT more to learn about handling yourself on the street, all of which you’ll have to master if you want to match the sales figures of the top resellers, which is anywhere from $100 a day all the way up to $900 in a single day, which Tommy, Parker, Menlo, Claude, Robbert and Della did on one thoroughly memorable rainy day at the K-Street Mall in Sacramento. It can be done, but without the band, it never would have happened — one guy dropped a $20 dollar bill into the guitar case, and from then on, it was fives, tens and twenties with an occasional sprinkle of ones. It CAN be done, but you’ll have to work your butt off to make it happen.

Don’t wait.

Things are happening rapidly, so fast that you won’t have time to think your way through it. Get everything in place NOW while you still can, while there’s still a LITTLE time left to prepare. There’s no reason to get caught short — there’s still time to act, if you act NOW.

Work toward getting yourself some BLOWOUT CASH in case you have to boogie, and get some money NOW to pay the bills. Your goal should be to bring in $300 a day CLEAR, and you CAN do it, but you’ll have to actually TAKE ACTION. Sitting on the couch won’t help.

Get in touch RIGHT NOW!!! Don’t delay!

See You At The Top!!!
