Eric:

THE POSTMAN is a song that fills me with sadness and meloncholy every time I hear it --- it reminds me of nothing but lost opportunity.

A particularily chilling moment is when BU$H Sr. says the following during the song's coda:

"Even a New World Order cannot guarantee an era of perpetual peace."

Even while TRIAGE had a huge influence on my own life --- such as with AIDS + ARMAGEDDON --- it is always somewhat depressing when THE POSTMAN comes on over the loudspeakers.

However, I believe that David himself had said it best when he himself spoke about THE POSTMAN on the ON TRIAGE promotional disc:

"This is the hardest thing for me, 'cause on a certain level, it's easier to sort of distance yourself from what you're thinking about by surrounding yourself with details, and facts. But ultimately, there is this awful sense of tragedy, of missed opportunity and savagery, the inevitability of savagery.

And it's difficult. It's hard to come to grips with it. And you see the signs of it, and you try not to let it affect you, you try not to let it just ruin your week.

But you have to face it, and the fear has to be dealt with. But it has to be faced, you can't face your fear unless you look at it. If you deny it, then you're sick."

--- David Baerwald, speaking about THE POSTMAN

Even while being quite depressing --- it does have that lonely and peaceful solitude that our problems can be solved one person at a time --- as in every time a person removes themselves from the column of being part of the problem --- the only other place that they could reasonably fit is in the column representing the solution.

The DBIS is a fitting --- yet ironic --- microcosm of all of these societial pressures. We continue to wonder why we often times degrade into ego-filled pissing matches --- is it any wonder why this continues to happen --- when this is precisely what our society has devolved into?

And yet even more ironic is the appearance that all of the so- called "troublemakers" at the DBIS (such as myself) are only those who DARE to THINK DIFFERENTLY . . .

Digging through my notes for the DAVID BAERWALD TRIAGE CONSTITUTIONAL STUDY MODULE that I would like to release one day through this very website --- I would also like to point out that all of the following subjects are also covered by THE POSTMAN:

During the song's fade-out, David is heard saying the following:

"There's just too many people in the world, there's just too many people . . ."

This of course brings up a subject that all politicians want to avoid --- and that is the serious study of POPULATION CONTROL. This idea was brought forth by the notorious ROTHSCHILD family --- who in America are known as the ROCKEFELLER family.

Here are some of the landmark studies on POPULATION CONTROL:

a) First, a quote from England's Prince Phillip, founder of the World Wildlife Fund:

"If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels."

b) Next, a quote from Ted Turner (CNN Founder):

"A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."

--- Ted Turner, in an interview with AUDUBON magazine, which appeared in their Nov-Dec 1991 issue.

c) Here are some of the notable population control reports, that were commissioned by the ILLUMINATI:

LIMITS TO GROWTH by Eduard Pestel (1972)

GLOBAL 2000 REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT by the Council On Environmental Quality and the US State Dept. (1980)

POPULATION AND THE AMERICAN FUTURE by the Rockefeller Commission (July 18, 1969)

PRESIDENT NIXON'S REMARKS on the publication of the Rockefeller Commission's one year report (March 16, 1970)

THE POSTMAN also discussed or presented the following subjects throughout the song:

1) Surrounding yourself with details and facts = conspiracy research

2) Jim Jones and the Jonestown CIA Mind Control Suicide (November 18, 1978). This subject also refers to THE PEOPLE'S TEMPLE AGRICULTURAL PROJECT (4,000 acres), and the Congressman Leo Ryan murder.

3) THE WAR AGAINST POPULATION by Jacqueline Kasun PhD.

In this book, this Professor of Economics @ Humboldt State University in Arcata, California states that the following have come out of this desire to limit population growth:

a) The sex-education movement

b) The pro-abortion movement

c) Affective learning replaces cognitive learning = behavior modification

4) Phrases that have been used by politicians to refer to the working class:

USELESS EATERS and the UNWASHED MINIONS

So, this is just a sampling of some of the issues brought up by the song. I thought that I would add to the request that Eric put forth --- because on especially TRIAGE --- there are layers upon layers of impressions and feelings that have been created by David.

TRIAGE --- more than anything else he has done --- has made me think about the world around me.
