JBL® Flip 5

Upon discovery that hysterical hoarding at Walmart® has even affected personal food selections, there was a moment of extreme resignation. The situation is now out-of control. So, a JBL® Flip 5 wireless speaker was purchased for $90 in lieu of food. It’s a beauty, isn’t it?

What would cause a sane old codger to purchase a superfluous Bluetooth® speaker? Well, the local police are now using drones to deal with “lockdown” violations. On one of the other islands, the siren from the flick, “The Purge” is being used to alert citizens of curfew time. So, the rank-and-file peons are panicking. Unfortunately, none of them realize that what is transpiring has gone well beyond the scope of the pandemic. The pandemic is now secondary.

Back to the old codger ... time spent in the mausoleum at the “old folks home” in Waikiki averaged 11 hours per day pre-“corona.” Now, about 18 hours per day is spent there due to the “lockdown.” And, that could easily increase as the police state ramps up. There’s nothing in the mausoleum except for the airbed provided by the Sand Island homeless shelter. So, the new wireless speaker will be used to diffuse “Disclosure Radio” on Spotify® in the mausoleum, albeit at low volumes. The sound is quite good and powerful. Sure beats the EarPods! Yeah, the old wireless speaker should not have been divested. Who knew?

There are many more “over the top” Draconian measures in the works ... long-term curfew, pedestrian and vehicle checkpoints, mandatory face masks in public ... the list is endless. As stated previously, the issue is no longer the containment of the novel coronavirus. Rather, this ordeal is about power and control. Operant conditioning is being used to reprogram the masses for full subservience and obedience to the moneychangers and powers-that-be. Time to learn how to goose step!

Tip: Using just one Bluetooth® speaker produces a bass-heavy muffled sound. Built in equalizers don’t seem to compensate. Switch the output to Mono and hear the difference.
