“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” – GERMAN PASTOR, Martin Niemöller Download at Bandcamp
Buttress O’Kneel & I Cut People

And if they’re paths to Enlightenment, why are so many people who do them Not Enlightened? THE DECADENT TRIO OF PASTIMES VOLUME II – DRUGS Download
