2008: How ROLLING STONE magazine Helped MUSIC PIRACY fester and grow

It seems insane now that ANYONE could say "sharing" music doesn't cause damage.

We know artists who are on GoFundMe because they aren't getting their royalties. We know hundreds of record stores went out of business because people were happy to get mp3 files FREE rather than pay for records (and extra cartridges and needles and a turntable). We know that the monsters who profited most from piracy involve organized crime, Russian scumbags, the Pirate Bay Swedish meatballs and Kim Dotcom, among others, all living like kings.

But in 2008? Rolling Stone was not only rating some of the blogs, but counseling people on how to avoid getting caught, and how to lobby politicians to make sure the Internet stays "FREE." About the only thing they didn't do, was repeat catch-phrases like "Freedom of Speech" and "copyright is copywrong."

It's a bit of an irony that soon after this, Rolling Stone began to sink, the number of physical copies on newsstands shrank, and they were offering up themselves up for sale. They went so far as to put the adorable-looking Boston Marathon Bomber on the cover, either as a provocateur move to get attention, or because Jann Wenner was smitten by his sexy looks. They've tried a "re-launch" recently on glossy paper, and continue to load up every issue with Jann Wenner's faves (boy band heroes who look like jailbait).

Unbelievable, that anyone with a brain could endorse copying copyrighted work and illegal distribution at grand larceny-level. This isn't copying off an album onto cassette for a friend. It's maniacs hell-bent on loading up their blogs with complete discographies, with the glory going to themselves and money too (via Paypal donations). Pure evil. What else do you call it, when bloggers relentlessly post and re-post and re-up and get new corrupt companies from Megaupload to Ydray to host the illegal files? EVIL. OK, add STUPIDITY. Add short-sighted idiocy. And then people wonder why Steve Miller, Carly Simon and so many others simply stopped making new albums. What the fuck for? So they can be embarrassed by low sales?

Rolling Stone. Who was editing the magazine in 2008? Benedict Arnold?

We know what happened.

A few lawyer-weasels found loopholes, insisting nobody could PROVE that their wonderful clients actually downloaded or uploaded anything. "Oh, your honor, somebody ELSE got into that house, used the computer, downloaded all those files...not MY client."

Other lawyer-weasels had other excuses: "Oh, your honor, don't sentence this fine, fine person to pay treble damages, or punitive damages, or ANY damages. At best, my client should ONLY be charged a dollar per song, which is all these files are worth."

With GOOGLE, owner of Blogspot, the prime offender, and now one of the most powerful companies in the world, the RIAA and record labels couldn't lobby politicians to pass strict laws blocking the Rapidshare and Megaupload companies. Besides, GOOGLE's partners in crime, like Wikipedia and hundreds of other websites thriving by not paying royalties for "fair use" (ha ha) photos and content, were behind the banner of "Freedom of Speech." Yeah, THAT'S THE TICKET, we should be able to use any photo, or any music, and USE it without paying anything. It's for "review purposes." It's "Freedom of Speech." And what's that phrase that the notorious PUZO.ORG forum likes so much? "WE LIKE FREE!"

Is it too late? Well, if "morality" means making sure Kevin Spacey doesn't make another movie, and Al Franken can't run for office again, then MAYBE, that same "morality" would apply to making sure the Internet is just a tad more LEGAL. Then again, didn't we just read about a Russian cartel that made $100 million by hacking into bank accounts in America and funneling all the money and then disappearing into their Iron Curtain caves, never to be prosecuted? Hell, stealing money is "Freedom of Speech" too.

Back in 2005...when the RIAA failed to save the artists, record stores and the music industry

"Short-sighted businessmen. Nothing lasts for long." Joni Mitchell

"The rock is gonna fall on us!" Harry Chapin.

"Brother Can You Spare A dime." Yip Harburg.

I was going through my files, and I came across three articles in the same JUNE 28, 2005 issue of THE NEW YORK TIMES. The subject: Piracy. The Internet was turning into a monster. The coy euphemism "file SHARING," was coming into popular usage, as more and more people discovered that their computer could download, first and most importantly, PORN, and then...mp3 files of music, and even movies and TV shows.

How wonderful! What "SHARING."

The New York Times could've called it what it really is: STEALING. File copying. Piracy.

If you define "SHARING," strangers duping music so nobody has to pay for anything DOES NOT QUALIFY.

SHARING is when you give something to somebody, and YOU NO LONGER HAVE IT. Like you share half your dessert. You are giving something up because you are GENEROUS.

SHARING music is nothing. You’re making a copy and giving it to a stranger, because YOU want that person to either like you, or fork over something you don’t want to buy.

Now that it’s the Christmas season, some assholes will be SHARING all the Christmas music so nobody will have to buy, and more record stores can go under, and less royalties will go to the artists. What would Jesus do? You know what he WOULDN’T DO.

The Times wasn't alone in having numb nuts about this soon-to-be-catastrophic problem.

Rolling Stone was actually reviewing blogs, and pointing readers to which ones had the "goodies."

One ex-writer for the paper, Dave Marsh, enthusiastically suggested this was a "new paradigm" of some kind, and by "sharing," it encouraged people to discover new music. Right, like you never heard of the Grateful Dead before...but were too cheap to buy their albums.

Yes, once in a while somebody would offer ONE song, or ONE album on an obscure artist, but mostly, no, blogs sprung up with people boasting about the hundreds and HUNDREDS of albums they were giving away.

While these idiots saw themselves as versions of Emperor Nero, unstoppable and kings of their domain, the RIAA fiddled. Lawyers got tangled up in their own red tape. Judges debated whether it was "sharing" or not. Little monsters like NAPSTER festered and grew bigger and bigger.

All of this, included the pathetic way piracy was mishandled, is in these Times articles.

Now, people shrug, "The genie is out of the bottle." And "you can't swim upstream." And "it's whack-a-mole."

No, it isn't, if corrupt politicians weren't drooling over GOOGLE money. GOOGLE owns YouTube and Blogspot, two prime sources for piracy. Not only don't they have any morals, they actually make it difficult for copyright owners, intellectual property owners, and artists to take down the abuse. The hoops are ridiculous. Google uses an impossible template that takes a half hour to fill out, and they'll reject the complaint without explaining why. That's just part of the frustration. They expect a separate complaint on EVERY single album, so if somebody posts a discography, the complaint must be done a dozen times or more. Even then, GOOGLE will allow the blogger to put the stuff back, or get a fresh blog. Over and over. Usually the blog is not even taken down, unless a rights organization stubbornly keeps telling an employee to SEND IN MORE FORMS, or if an artist sends a lawyer letter.

The power in the world now is in the hands of Fascist internet assholes like Suckerberg, and the nameless creeps at Google, Wikipedia, and other places. They have more power than record companies, film studios or famous stars, and they use it to keep the money pouring in. So far, efforts by a few senators to pass legislation have failed because these Internet fascists raise the alarm (shouting "Freedom of Speech!" and "Don't let them take your Internet away") and using the politicians in their pockets to quash the passing of good law.

These days, most everyone knows about the torrents, most of them run by weasels in Russia or Ukraine or other craven countries. Or by Swedes or Brits raking in the money while on an untouchable island.

What can stop this shit is effective blocking of websites. It's been done here and there, but not nearly enough. In the meantime, the courts waffle, the lawyers gouge, and the artists suffer and the stores that used to sell records and DVDs and things go under more and more.

Again, from June 28, 2005, when the scent was just beginning to get ripe...before it completely began to stink:

Sigh and say "oh well, the lawless Internet..." and what happens? Things get worse.

Like Photoshop fakes of actresses nude. Like fake videos that make famous people look ridiculous. Even Suckerberg from Facebook got one of his speeches re-done and thousands believed it. "Fake news," our leerless feader cries, and you know what, he's not exactly wrong. There are click-bait websites that will post anything to get ad dollars. There are websites that a ten year-old can easily find, where women are being abused...whether it's realistic video fakes, or hacked nude pictures stolen from a computer.

"It's all good."

People actually cheer Assange and other assholes who happily hack and expose anything and everything...for their own profit. The Swedish meatballs of Pirate Bay cheered their own anarchy and proudly posted any emails they got saying "cease and desist," even from indie movie producers BEGGING for the chance to make sales so they could continue making films. The cruelty and stupidity on the Net has reached epidemic levels.

It could've been halted back in 2005. Now...the New York Times is endangered; it could go the way of the Christian Science Monitor and have an Internet-only presence in the world. Many newspapers have disappeared. The way we get news, the way we get entertainment, the way we interact with each other on social media — have all been coarsened and poisoned by lawlessness. Facebook is another Scientology-like company that has no phone number or email (same as Google, among others). You can't reach a human. Because these Internet companies are inhuman.

THE MONKEY'S PAW (aka "HONEY I'M BACK) a Halloween Horror-Novelty

One of my favorite tracks on the "HA HA HALLOWEEN" album is a duet.

When I was a kid, I loved the Vampira-Dracula horror duets in "Spike Jones in Stereo," featuring my idol Paul Frees, and Loulie Jean Norman. Did I think one day I'd have a ghoul-friend singing with me on my own novelty horror song?? Nope.

Novelty hits that actually made the Top 20 included "Tell Laura I Love Her," "I Want My Baby Back" and "Teen Angel," among many other "teen tragedy numbers."

Fast forward several decades, and I was inspired to pay tribute to these morbid ditties, via "The Monkey's Paw," which also incorporated just about everyone's favorite late-night horror story, told around a campfire or an overnight in somebody's spooky house.

I tossed in a few lyrical salutes (most obviously, the line "I want my baby back...")

Oh baby...

Susan Davies, having heard some of my other novelty songs, agreed to sing with me, so I took the the 3-track (she was going to be on the 4th track) over so she could add the voice of the undead girl.

She nailed it on the first try, I think. After we were done, we listened to it back, and we agreed it was pretty good. "Something's missing," I said. "It needs a punchline." I thought a minute, hit the switch and the microphone, and added, "I never knew there'd be wife after death."

Susan was startled that I came up with that so quickly. It was just what the song needed...but most of all, it needed and had Susan.

I played it for a record executive, who said, "She really sounds like she's from the grave!"

I smiled. Yes, that's why I wanted her. I'd heard one of her more dire songs, one that had a lot of anguish on it, and I knew that she could turn that tragedy into comedy, just by playing it straight.

Screaming...er, streaming on YouTube:

THE MONKEY'S PAW - HONEY I'M BACK

Jimmy Carr - defying the PC idiots and the ghost of Sam Kinison

Ever heard of Jimmy Carr? He turned up on the puppy Fallon’s show at least once, and told some of his milder jokes. The dull bunch that would go to see “The Tonight Show” (as Jimmy loves to burble, “You’re HERE!”) didn’t really get Carr’s jokes. Maybe they didn’t understand his British accent. Jimmy seemed to be smiling to himself, like, “This isn’t going that well, but at least it’s not total silence.”

In Great Britain, Carr is quite a star, with a TV quiz show and a ton of touring. He has relentlessly issued DVDs of his shows. Now that nobody wants DVDs, he’s streaming his greatest hits on Netflix. Like George Carlin, who lived in the golden age of CDs that could go GOLD, and then HBO specials, Carr prides himself on going out featuring all-new material every year or so. His memorably offensive, mean, rude and un-PC jokes from each show live on, quoted over and over, and re-hashed on YouTube.

You want to know HOW this guy stacks up against past-masters like Sam Kinison or Andrew “Dice” Clay? Heeeeeere’s JIMMY….

10. This might offend some of you. People say — smug, sanctimonious people say — “Princess Diana should’ve been wearing a seatbelt. If she’d been wearing a seatbelt, she’d be with us today. To those people I say: you try snorting cocaine off a cock in the back of a limo while wearing a seatbelt. It can’t be fucking done!

9. I don’t like swearing during sex. Who wants to hear that kind of language, especially from a child.

8. Let’s try and offend you. When I was at school, we were caught wanking in the shower. Well it ruined the school trip to Auschwitz.

7. I realize an abortion can be a very upsetting thing for a woman. But at the same time, who doesn’t get a confidence boost when they lose a little weight?

6. (to a heckler) You want my comeback? You’ll have to scrape it off your mother’s teeth.

5. Wetting your bed is embarrassing as a child. But as an adult? Wetting a child’s bed is mortifying. It’s almost impossible to explain that to your wife.

4. In Palestinian passports, under occupation, do they just put “Israel?”

3. A lot of people like to smoke cigarettes after sex. You can’t buy cigarettes until you’re sixteen. So I have to get them for both of us. You think it’s wrong I’m buying a sixteen year-old girl cigarettes? You think it’s wrong I’m fucking her? I’m kidding! “Kidding” sounds like a verb for child abuse, isn’t it?

2. 99% of women kiss with their eyes closed — which is why it’s so difficult to identify a rapist.

1. How do you make a gay fuck a woman? Shit in her cunt.

How does he get away with this? For one thing, by not touring America. He tours about 150 gigs in the UK and Europe instead. As he likes to say on UK talk shows, he is essentially preaching to the converted. People pay to see his show and know what they're going to get. Compare that to America, where people only have to see a YouTube video or read a Tweet that quotes a one-liner, and the rage of "ban him" reaches volcanic proportions.

For another, by not looking like a surly wildman ala Sam Kinison, or acting like an abrasive Fonzie dumbfuck like “Dice” Clay. He looks like what he was…an office guy who decided to try stand-up. Thankfully, he succeeded.

What else helps him tell offensive jokes without having to hide from a witch hunt? Well, instead of a raspy voice like Redd Foxx, Carr speaks in a soft, somewhat high pitched and bland voice.

He looks harmless; a bit like a ventriloquist dummy left to sit without the ventriloquist.

At worst, he looks a bit like Richard Nixon.

Hopefully, unlike Nixon, he will never be forced to resign.

Defending the Caveman: America's Got Talent meanie Simon Cowell vs Howard Stern

Look, there's a LOT wrong with "America's Got Talent" and the rest of the bogus "GOT TALENT" shows. They are contrived and manipulative and shady in many ways, ranging from obviously faked judge reactions to collusion camera-work that makes magicians look more competent than they are.

But the notion that there's something sexist about the firing of two female judges after the first season? NAH.

Just because Howard Stern says so doesn't make it so. Really.

Howard's a shock jock. This is good publicity for him. It's fun to hear him be opinionated. But...he's wrong.

Simon Cowell gets rid of women because they get old? Christ, he kept Mel B. and Heidi Klum on the show for years and years and years. Mel B's dopey catch-phrase "OFF THE CHAIN" got old long before she got her first gray pubic hair.

(Oh, nevermind, she probably shaves).

Across the pond, Simon is also the Svengali and host of the original "Britain's Got Talent." He's had the same two women on THAT show for...YEARS and YEARS and YEARS.

You know what the big difference is between those two shows? Britain's Got Talent is still a ratings monster. It had some all-time high ratings this year. America's Got Talent has continued to slide.

When ratings slide, you have to do something. For whatever reason, Cowell and his pals decided it wasn't worth giving the two latest chicks a chance to push the ratings up. What's wrong with that? Both female judges were surprisingly calm and astute in their judging. That didn't seem to be the problem. If they weren't eye-catching enough to boost ratings during the ENTIRE SUMMER, forget it. Get two more.

The black judge sometimes chose "ethnic" clothing styles and "OFF THE CHAIN" wigs. The producers weren't sure if this was turning off viewers, taking attention away from the other judges, or something else.

But racism? That's hard to do when the hosts of the show for over a decade have ALL BEEN BLACK. That includes Tyra Banks, Mr. Mariah Carey, and the newest host, Terry Crews.

Racism? The show has tons of black contestants and many are fawned on well beyond their talent. The jivey comic "Pracher Lawson" would be an example of that. If somebody black can play a violin, everyone goes nuts. Every year all-black "dance" groups make the Top 10. The American demographic is that the country is becoming more "of color" every year. In New York City, whites are the minority. Racism is a stupid, stupid charge.

The fact that both women were booted would tend to prove that.

But it's so PC to flog the removal of the black female judge because...uh...it's PC. The most ridiculous charge leveled at Cowell and Company is that they got upset because this uppity chick blew the whistle on Jay Leno for telling a goofy "anti-Korean" joke:

I've said it before and I'll say it again. STOP BITCHING ABOUT COMEDIANS. Their job is to joke. An ad-lib now and again is going to fizzle, or be in poor taste. Is anyone suggesting Leno is a racist? OF COURSE NOT. He told a joke that may or may not have been edited out with or without a complaint from one of the judges. Really, this is an executive decision, and one doesn't necessarily want ANY of the judges t constantly be bitching and bitching and bitching about what she finds offensive, or wants changed or edited. Judge the fucking show and shut the fuck up. Especially in your first year.

It also needs to be said that Leno was not referring to Koreans in America. He was obviously referring to South Koreans who, according to a South Korean animal rights group, eat 750,000 to a MILLION dogs a year.

PS, is that so bad? There are too many dogs as it is. Better to eat them than to gather them up and gas them, as we do in America.

Cowell has inflicted boy bands on the world who should've stayed in school. He's put an evil sheen on his "Got Talent" shows like the glinting cyanide on a poisoned apple. But I don't think the firing of two first-season judges is a big deal. And, IF I'M BEING HONEST, to use a phrase often heard by Cowell, the man has actually mellowed quite a bit. He's got a kid now, he's reached an age when he sees the bigger picture, and his schtick of being snarky without offering anything constructive got old, too, and he knows it.

Howard Stern, around the same age as Cowell, is still spouting his opinions and shaking things up? Yes, that's gotten pretty old, too, but it's still amusing. It's just not necessarily the truth.

Music Piracy Hypnotism: As Long as Taylor Swift Makes Millions, The Industry is Fine!

When was the last time YOU drank Kool-Aid? Vile stuff. It's for gullible kids.

And yet, in the world of music, EVERYBODY drinks the poisonous Kool-Aid. We've seen headlines for ten years or more, claiming that piracy really isn't so bad. Some even blink and repeat, "Piracy is good. It's good publicity. People who didn't buy will buy the next time!"

A more recent spill of Kool-Aid? All those headlines: "Vinyl is making a comeback!"

NO. It is NOT. A few trendy Millennials buy a few hundred copies on vinyl on "Record Store Day," and that's it. People don't want turntables and needles. They don't even want a CD player. Why? Because "we like FREE," and that's what download files are. And now, there's cheap streaming.

Here's the latest headline, which looks like it was sponsored by Kool-Aid. Or maybe a publicist paid the BBC or did a quid-pro-quo. Like, "Interview MY CLIENT and call attention to his indie record label, and later on, I'll give you something MUCH BETTER..."

What a urinous load of taking the piss -- the BBC gulping down this bilge:

Got that, everyone? Downloading is that "new paradigm" we've been waiting for.

As record stores began closing all over the world, a sure sign that piracy was killing the music industry, people shrugged.

The rationalization: "Not to worry. Look at how many records Whitney Houston is selling!"

As record labels began going under or got bought up by Universal or BMG or Warners, people shrugged.

The rationalization: "The amount of piracy is very low. Everybody's buying Adele. She sells millions!"

As the number of million selling albums dwindled and vain attempts were made to include download sales, stats proved the industry is ailing.

The rationalization: "Look at how Taylor Swift can still sell a million copies!"

The latest Pollyanna grin comes from some guy interviewed by the BBC. Let's forget piracy now, entirely, and let's forget all the artists who are shouting that Spotify and the rest pay puny royalties and you need 100,000 downloads to make a dime. Everything's FINE:

Yes, yes, stiff upper-lip, and pip pip.

Why the kerfuffle? Let's have another cuppa.

Paul Simon is one of the lucky ones who was "born at the right time."

But even he didn't turn a blind eye to the facts. He sang it:

"Down by the riverbank. A blues band arrives. The music suffers, baby. The music business thrives."

The BUSINESS. That's the suits at RIAA and BPI who don't demand that Google remove blogs loaded with piracy.

That's the suits at Universal and elsewhere, who don't lobby Congress to strengthen Internet laws on torrents and foreign/Russian servers who don't recognize copyright.

That's the big artists who, unlike Metallica and Gene Simmons for example, never publicly stood up and said, "Piracy hurts," or that Spotify royalties are low, or that older artists and songwriters should not have to have heart attacks in hotel rooms on the road, but should be able to get a check now and then for their work.

I was going to add, "radio play," but that's so antiquated. Now, nobody listens to radio. They make up their own play lists on YouTube or tap a button so that Spotify can tell them what they might like.

More from Pollyanna:

As someone at an indie record label, this guy should know better. When it comes to the older bands, let's say the Strawbs, Zombies, Procol bunch...do they barely break even? Do their studio costs eat away all the profits on a few thousand sales? Do they have to hawk their merchandise at gigs, or sign items on their websites?

How about indie women such as Jill Sobule and Wendy James? One of them had to go the GoFundMe route, self-press, and as an inducement to get more money for studio costs, custom write a song on each album THANKING THE DONORS BY NAME. The other? She flogs social media, runs gruesome sex-photos of herself, and flogs how she'll autograph and personalize the CD or vinyl via her website.

That's the sign of a healthy record industry?

You probably haven't heard of Marsha Malamet, but she's a songwriter who is on a ton of albums...everyone from Streisand to Pete Allen and back, but with nobody buying albums, and Spotify royalties low, she was just one of many asking for donations to pay for her rising health woes. Same with Ian Whitcomb and many more. GoFundMe and begging is the way the music business should be?

Now, I did put out an album a few years ago, and I didn't expect people to care much. Unlike Tom Lehrer, I don't perform even locally so that maybe 50 or 100 would want a souvenir album. (That's how he started, before Reprise picked him up). I wasn't expecting much and I didn't get much, since my stuff is a bit oddball, but I didn't think I'd be at the same mediocre level as oddball artists I admired such as Ron Nagle, Genya Ravan, Gunhill Road, or the resurrected rock group Fanny, who all put out new albums and saw the same puny numbers of views/hits om YouTube.

The problem is that things aren't any better for most rappers, C&W Millennials, or up and coming rock bands. More and more of them have to self-press, sell the stuff in clubs, spend a fortune on studio time (people do NOT want to hear ProTools and fake drums), and make rock videos or bootleg their own concerts to put things on YouTube. No, it doesn't work. There's so much FREE on YouTube, nobody can find this stuff. They'd rather watch Taylor Swift...or somebody doing "jackass" stunts or trying on underwear.

The shrug ultimately becomes, "you can't get the genie back in the bottle." No? We're talking about a genie. The genie DOES go back into the bottle. The genie comes out to do the magic, and then goes BACK IN THE BOTTLE.

In this case, it's time for pirates to go back in the bottle instead of smirk and say "I do this for fun" or "copyright is copy wrong," or worse, "Give ME a Paypal donation." It's time for foreign thugs who run torrent sites to get boiled in their own oil, or to see the profits dry up. But that would take interest from assholes like THIS guy, and the big shots at Universal or RIAA, and them fat cats aren't hurting yet.

AMAZON's JEFF BEZOS - the NY POST kicks his ass and then Sucks his Cock

All is forgiven.

That's the way it is with true impartial journalism.

You see both sides of the issue.

There's AMAZON, the Auschwitz of Internet Retailers, running a slave labor camp with 12 hour shifts and a half hour for lunch and punishment for more than a few bathroom breaks.

Then there's...making money by hot-links that take people to the site so they can BUY from these slave drivers.

Here's the NY POST, putting a big promo for AMAZON on their website, telling people all the GREAT DEALS AMAZON HAS. Uh, that's NEWS? That's up there with the latest psycho-religious-asshole stabbing people, or the impeachment hearings, or DeLousio's latest pissing on the quality of life of the city?

The Schindler's List of Shilling went on and on, with all kinds of things you could get JUST BY CLICKING THE HOT LINK.

You know...this is what desperate blogger assholes do, and amateur websites: "Support me, click the Amazon link, and they give me a few nickels."

The irony?

Only a few day earlier, the Post's front page roared about how awful AMAZON is, and how their Staten Island facility is loaded with nightmare robots that automatically ferry boxes around and stack them, while the sweaty humans with sore feet have to keep up.

You can almost hear a Post editor saying to some bigshot at Amazon, "Oh, we did that to get some attention. We can't talk about the Kardashians ALL the time. Don't worry, we'll make it up to you. How about a huge plug for your holiday sales? Guaranteed, we won't give equal time to Walmart, who has most everything you do and at a better price, and without that "Amazon Prime" bullshit gimmick to swipe an extra chunk of change e very month."

So the above was, what, payback for this catchy item below?

The Post remains the liveliest tabloid in town (they compare themselves to the Daily Snooze, which isn't saying much, is it?)

Unlike the Daily News, the Post is still a "free" website, that doesn't whine and quiver, "You are using adblock, let us distract you with an endless amount of eye-gouging ads." The Post also doesn't pull the Daily News game of: "You can only read THREE items a month! Buy a subscription!"

So...you can go to their website and read the rest of the woman's eye-popping article about how exhausting and demoralizing it is to work for Dickhead Bezos, the sneering, repulsive billionaire who, one of these days, is going to truly betray what a Hitler he is and either run for President, or declare himself THE KING OF AMERICA, where they buy Coca-Cola just like vintage wine.
