NSPB: And with that! TheSASMO!
TheSASMO: Today we’re looking at what I call “Internment” a place of no release! A place where everyday, every shift you work! You feel like that poor miserable creature locked up in the prison of utter disappointment; letdown without a hope of success! This’ TheAmazon I know! That beast which has captured so many souls!
“Real” living human beings: RAM! RAM! RAM! TheSASMO’s Rage Against the Machine!
TheSASMO: Working in these gigantic boxes of industrial strength with the power capacity to frighten even the strong, Amazon.com secures you in lock-step with the data flow of its algorithmic nightmare!
“Real” living human beings: RAM! RAM! RAM! TheSASMO’s Rage Against the Machine!
TheSASMO: Tied to a mindless machine! Strapped to a table of pain! Force-fed endless misinformation of the party line and the half truth mantra of Work Hard!
J&D: Have Fun!
NSPB&RAT: Make History!
“Real” living human beings: Hurrah!
TheSASMO: We must begin to see that we are simply prisoners of Amazon State! Jonathan please!
J: Go Johnny go!
J&D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings:
‘What a waste of human power What a waste of human lives Shoot the prisoners in the towers Forty-three poor widowed wives Amazon, Amazon State We’re all mates with Amazon State Media blames it on the prisoners But the prisoners did not kill TheBezos pulled the trigger That is what the people feel Amazon State, Amazon State We’re all mates with Amazon State Free the prisoners, jail the judges Free all prisoners everywhere All they want is truth and justice All they need is love and care Amazon State, Amazon State We're all mates with Amazon State They all live in suffocation Let’s not watch them die in sorrow Now’s the time for revolution Give them all a chance to grow Amazon State, Amazon State We’re all mates with Amazon State Come together join the movement Take a stand for human rights Fear and hatred clouds our judgment Free us all from endless night Amazon State, Amazon State We’re all mates with Amazon State Amazon State, Amazon State We all live in Amazon State Amazon State, Amazon State Amazon, Amazon, Amazon State!’
NSPB: Once again! Apologies to the late, great John Lennon and his song ‘Attica State!’ which TheSASMO changed to suit his own egotistical purposes! Thank you!
D: TheSASMO? I don’t understand what you’re getting at? And what was John Lennon’s song about?
TheSASMO: Lennon’s song was about the Attica Prison uprising, also known as the Attica Prison rebellion! Some call it the Attica Prison riot! It occurred at the Attica Correctional Facility in Attica, New York in 1971. It was based upon prisoners’ demands for better living conditions and basic human rights, listening up TheAmazon? The uprising was one of the most well-known and significant uprisings of the Prisoners’ Rights Movement PRM.
“Real” living human beings: Amazon State! Amazon State! We’re all prisoners of Amazon State!
J: Unrighteously so!
TheSASMO: On September 9, 1971, two weeks after the killing of prisoner George Jackson at San Quentin State Prison in California! About 1,000 of the Attica prison’s of approximately 2,200 inmates rioted and took control of the prison taking 42 staff hostage! During the following four days of negotiations, authorities agreed to 28 of the prisoners’ demands but would not agree to demands for complete amnesty!
“Real” living human beings: Amazon State! Amazon State! We’re all prisoners of Amazon State!
J: Unrighteously so!
TheSASMO: And no! There wasn’t total forgiveness for actions taken but there were important concessions made by officials for the Prisoners of Amazon, sorry! I mean Attica State!
“Real” living human beings: Amazon State! Amazon State! We’re all prisoners of Amazon State!
J: Unrighteously so!
D: So what are you getting at TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: I’m getting at this Drew! These prisoners at Amazon State, sorry! I mean Attica State lived under horrific conditions and they’d had enough! They took action hoping to change how they were treated by the Corrections Establishment or CE!
“Real” living human beings: Amazon State! Amazon State! We’re all prisoners of Amazon State!
J: Unrighteously so!
D: And they change things within the prison TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: Yes they did! As stated above, they had 28 of their demands met! Again, they forced changes to be made! And while there was destruction! Changes came about through the prisoner’s action!
“Real” living human beings: Amazon State! Amazon State! We’re all prisoners of Amazon State!
J: Unrighteously so!
RAT: And we’re looking at this symbolically TheSASMO?
D: Symbolically TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: It’s something relating or expressed by a symbol! I’ve used the symbol of a prison and here’s why! At the Amazon.com Fulfillment Center or FC I work at, we’re literally enclosed and must go through the site’s “security” apparatus to get out! You can’t get out of the facility expect by going through the before mentioned “security” apparatus or making a break-for-it via an alarmed exit to the outside world!
D: Like a prison TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: Absolutely Drew! And get this one! We’re fenced in completely! Make your way to the parking lot? Fenced in just like a prison! No! There isn’t that nasty barbed wire but hey! TheAmazon’s still working on that one! We could, if there was a massive, extensively long power outage, be trapped inside the facility!
J&D&NSPB&RAT&“Real” living human beings: The horror!
TheSASMO: God damned right!
NSPB: What else TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: Complete video coverage everywhere! You literally can’t pick your own nose without it being recorded!
“Real” living human beings: What TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: Loss Prevention or LP’s watching everyone and everything!
D: Even the restrooms TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: There’s been rumors! Anyway! The Evil Empire or TEE…
W: Some Good Ole Fashioned Chinese Green Tea or GOFCGIT sold by Mother Eu-funh or Playful Phoenix, a Mom and Pop Corner Tea Store in Hong Kong, China or MEPPMPCTSHKC and popcorn Drew?
D: Oh yes please!
W: What a sweet boy!
J: Me too! Me too! I’d like some Good Ole Fashioned Chinese Green Tea or GOFCGIT sold by Mother Eu-funh or Playful Phoenix, a Mom and Pop Corner Tea Store in Hong Kong, China or MEPPMPCTSHKC and popcorn, please!
W: Not to worry my darlings! There’s plenty here for everyone!
J&D&NSPB&RAT&TheSASMO&“Real” living human beings: Thank you!
W: You are all so welcome! Be right back with your Good Ole Fashioned Chinese Green Tea or GOFCGIT sold by Mother Eu-funh or Playful Phoenix, a Mom and Pop Corner Tea Store in Hong Kong, China or MEPPMPCTSHKC and popcorn!
TheSASMO: TheAmazon’s always watching! Basically! There’s something you can absolutely count on in life! TheAmazon’s always watching!
D: Even the public TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: Especially the public Drew! TheAmazon wants to know everything about everyone so they can shove their SASS down everyone’s ASS!
“Real” living human beings: SASS! SASS! SASS! TheAmazon’s Stupid Ass Scratching Stuff!
J: So you’re saying that all of us are “literally” living in prison, TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: Fyodor Dostoevsky in ‘The House of the Dead’ said this: ‘The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.’ We looked at Amazon State, sorry! Attica State to warn ourselves of what life could become if we don’t act and stand up for ourselves! And no! When We the Workers or WTWs of Amazon.com revolt in November, Cyber Monday to be exact! When “WE” revolt while demanding that Amazon.com returns to us “our” holiday VCP, our holiday bonus; Attica State’s “physical” destruction isn’t going to happen! No! Remember, we’re being symbolic here!
RAT: So what’s going to happen TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: TheAmazon could end up with financial destruction! Think about it! The Amazon.com Fulfillment Centers or FCs and Call Centers or CCs in the USofA are shut down on Cyber Monday, possibly Black Friday! And with the help of the UNIONS and other progressive forces standing up for us! What’ll happen?
J: So basically! TheAmazon prison workforce would have TheBezos by his Big Bezos Balls or BBBs?
TheSASMO: Absolutely freakin’ correct Jonathan!
D: And is this what the workers want TheSASMO?
TheSASMO: We The Workers or WTW of Amazon.com simply want “our” holiday bonuses back! We’ve all planned on that money for the holidays and without notice! TheAmazon’s taken it away! Is what Amazon.com done right?
“Real” living human beings: No! No! No! Stop TheAmazon flow!
TheSASMO: Indeed! Stand up and shout! We The Workers or WTW demand, just like the Prisoners of Attica State, to be treated with dignity and respect! What TheAmazon’s done is completely offensive, a vulgar boorish move by people who live off-the-hog! We The Workers of WTW of Amazon.com live off the meager “crumbs” off Amazon’s table and in this instance! TheAmazon’s taken another “crumb” off “our” family’s tables this holiday season!
NSPB: Thank TheBezos children!
“Real” living human beings: Thank you Jeff Bezos!
J: Bad Bezos! Bad dog! Bad dog!
NSPB: And thank all of you who have tuned in while being turned on by “our” ‘A Silent Radio Hour’ live yet pre-recorded here in the belly of the beast in downtown Seattle, Washington kitty-corner to the Headquarters of Amazon.com! And please, remember to call TheAmazon and speak out for its workforce! ‘Give them back their holiday bonus! Give your workers back their Christmas!’ Good Night Irene!
J&D: Bye now!
