From the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and World War II to Vietnam, the Freedom Riders, and MK Ultra, we enter the darkest chapter of U.S. history yet as the powerful find perverse ways to control our minds while developing weapons capable of destroying the planet in a never-ending war of terror...

Enter the mind of a hoboess! I interview Teresa to see what I can extract about her explorations and unique experiences without a house, escaping society, with the shovel, pliers, and dentist-vacuum-thing of my questions...

We venture down the rabbit hole to explore “the inverted truth”, some of the topsy-turvy, bass ackwards Doublethink we’re fed, from smoking to get thin, to nuclear bombs for national security... it almost makes sense if you stand on your head long enough!

We attempt to use the clumsy tools of mind and speech to delve deeper into the ancient, mysterious world of what gets called “animism”. As Lipan Apache, Grandfather Stalking Wolf once said, “Every leaf tells a story, every stone sings a song...”

We fling off the shackles of theme and structure to share sick beats on our hobo stove, how to stop a sneeze, the true story of the time molasses literally almost killed Boston, and what we’re all here to learn. From Beatnik poetry, Buddhism, and Daniel Quinn to a hobo song, Christianity, and Derrick Jensen, ANYTHING goes!

The U.S. Presidents lead us out of the corruption and slime of the 1800’s, up and over the century mark, and right into the slime and corruption of the 1900’s. Lies, abuse, racism, cover-ups, and more than a few atrocities we don’t even have names for, the proud tradition of politics roars into the 20’s!

We explore how our food is controlled and how controlling the food is a well known and used tactic for controlling us, then begin a conversation (since we are still learning ourselves!) about how to liberate this food, which is a highly subversive act! For, as Quinn says, “If the food wasn’t under lock and key, who would work?”

The Civil (or Buchanan’s) War, Reconstruction, the Gilded Age, Black Codes... the fall of the fiercely fighting plains Indians through buffalo slaughter immediately followed by the rise of veterans who have had enough of the presidents’ bullshit- the fiercely fighting Hobo Army!

And the “Manifest Destiny” continues... trespassing, murdering, and spreading good Christian values from sea to shining sea and beyond until the country’s ready to rip itself apart from the goodliness of it all! We put the next group of bastards on trial (spoiler- they’re guilty) for where they’ve led us.

Slave rapers, trespassers, child scalpers, liars, and voracious land-eating megalomaniacs... yes, it’s those “framers” we keep hearing the senators of this country so often referencing in proud and reverential tones! We put ‘em all on trial for their actions as we explore who they were and what they intended for us.
