Ayup. It’s happened. Good ol’ American greed has brought about a new Great Depression. The subject is important enough, I suppose, to bring ol’ Raspy out of his “seclusion” to address it. You may now rejoice…
So, within’ approximately one week, some of the richest men and women in this country will no doubt be throwing themselves from their top-level Executive penthouses. Sadly, I probably won’t get to get footage of it for amusement purposes, but I suppose I can just be satisfied with the concept of poetic justice.
Former United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said that “All we have to fear is fear itself” in reference to the LAST Great Depression. This is not precisely true. The Onion, many years later, said “All we have to fear is a crippling ten-year depression.” That one is probably closer to the truth, but still not exactly hitting the nail on the head. You see, I’ve been broke all my life. I never had shit. I grew up in a ghetto. So did my Brother. So did most of my friends. We never had shit, and we grew up having to learn the hard way how to struggle. How to live without. And while all these avaricious assholes raped the American economy for their own personal gain, we continued to go without. To this day, I still have nothing, save the website that you are right now visiting. And the computer which allows me to access this website.
I can practically guarantee that the plight of the poor in this country will not be meaningfully affected by this stock market crash. The poor will always exist. And those who have nothing to lose tend to lose nothing. We continue to live on, struggling, doing whatever we must to survive. But now, I’ll have the added pleasure of watching the rich implode in amongst themselves, and that, my friends, is a very rare treat indeed!
Now, we come to the tricky part: Assigning blame. Not that it really matters who is at fault. Since we as a nation have obviously failed to learn from the precedents of 1929 and 1988. There is truly a danger to being a nation of sheep. And the danger is that when the time comes to fight for one’s life, a sheep has no will to resist the urge to walk through the slaughterhouse door.
Are you a sheep?
Ask yourself that question, and give yourself as honest an answer as you can. If you are not a sheep, then perhaps this is the time to rise up against those who are destroying your world. Think about it.

Ohhhhhhh…SOOOOOO Unamerican! What? Not interested in making a buck? What’s wrong with you, Brookhaven? Where’s your sense of patriotism?
No, my friends, and in some cases, perhaps, my Comrades…no, Brookhaven will continue to be the shining light in the rising darkness which is even now finishing the job of swallowing up our world. You can count on Brookhaven to continue to make you laugh, make you cry, make you think, make you angry, make you happy. That is, until the good folks at Wordpress and GoDaddy also go bankrupt, and I have no more FTP or a website on which to post content…
It isn’t the end of the world, though, people. After all, McDonalds will never go under. Neither will Walmart. Nor Coca Cola. They’ve made so much money over the past century that there’s absolutely no way they will ever die. Ever. So there is an alternative to revolution for all who wish to employ it. Working at Walmart. Working at a McJob. Yay. American Dream! Who’s with me? Anyone? (chirp chirp)
Angry yet? At me? Or are you angry at the selfish, good-for-nothing assclowns like George Bush and Ken Lay and Dick “THE MOTHERFUCKING PARASITE” Cheney who bled this country dry. Saaaaaay….here’s a thought. THEY have plenty of money. Why doesn’t everyone show up across the street from the White House and wave signs at them. I’m sure they’ll have a change of heart at that point and give all the money they stole back. Right? Right?
Yes. I, DJ Raspy, said all this. I DARE to say it. Despite the fact that in this day and age, the so-called First Amendment right of “Freedom of Speech” means jack shit, I said it anyways. You know why? Because I don’t FEAR the economy. I have no stake in it. And neither do you. I mean, let’s kick out some figures here. How many of you own enough stock in Walmart to shake a stick at?
If you think my words are controversial, you’re right. They’re also unpatriotic and TOTALLY radical leftist. I have never made my opinion on the issue of revolution private. I advocate complete and utter overthrow of the capitalist system. And at times like these, the eyes of the Sheeple begin to open as they look upon the true illegitimacy of the system in which they have placed all their faith. Look now, my friends, upon the true body of the Beast. Look with no further illusion or delusion upon countenance of the great Golden Calf of Babylon that our ancestors created. Do you really want to give your lives to feed that Beast? Really?
-DJ Raspy, the one and MOTHERFUCKING ONLY!!!!!
