A Tuesday Mystery: Is the "It's Free Swipe Your EBT Video" a Product of the Military Industrial Complex? To What End Does this Nefarious Plot Lead?



What fun for a Tuesday!

Matlock was meh. But, I used to love me some Murder She Wrote. I also liked Perry Mason...even more so once I found out that Raymond Burr was a fem cross-dresser.

On Alternet, a commenter noted that Christopher A. Jackson, the producer of the "It's Free Swipe Yo EBT" music video, is the owner of a military apparel company with (obvious) ties to the DOD. As you go down the rabbit hole, he is also connected to a shell company/false front op called CIA Records which apparently backed the project and then went "black" and "off board."

Initially, I would have bet money that some far Right Conservative group such as Family Leader had funded this welfare queen "satire." Instead, it could be that Christopher Jackson is in the same proverbial building, but just has a different office number.

[Interesting random factoid on Conservative foolishness and the black community: Herman Cain voiced the "brother" who opposes "snuffing his seeds, toot sweet" in this comically horrid "how the Republican Party can save black people and marriage" campaign ad.]

Let's crowd source this one. If any of you with more technical skills and insight into these matters than me can dig something up on the backers of the "It's Free Swipe Yo EBT" video by all means please pass it along. If one of you is particularly skilled with Photoshop and can generate an overwrought diagram which connects all of the dots in the EBT video puzzle in a manner akin to the JFK conspiracy that too would be appreciated.

Who knows? Maybe this video is the Willie Lynch letter of our time? Could it be a twisted conspiracy that explains all things wrong in the black community? A nefarious plot to create a dependent class by launching an assault on our subliminal mindstates?

I do wonder what Brother X-Squared would say about these developments. I just may have to ask him...

Good insight, Fred. It's good to be able to trace one of these domestic PSYOPs.

It doesn't matter who made the video. When a message is just plain obviously true, there's no stopping it. In a year, there will be a dozen videos like it.

Yo. I ain't even gonna front. I got my EBT shit and I hella use that shit. I'm 22, single and house less. I don't feel one bit of remorse for flipping my ebt into cash to pay for things I need or mooching off at the local co op on free ebt. "it's free, swipe your ebt" is my song.
