The Melchizedek Chronicles - The Seven Deadly Sins of the Digital Revolution that Doom it to Failure!

1.   The vast majority of participants lack experience and are clueless on the history of communication failures of the pre-digital age.

2.  People do not want endless choices of lousy content as proffered by the Digital Revolution through video, movie, television, audio and other digital techniques.

3.  Security breaches, identity theft, invasion of privacy, spam and hacking are unacceptable collateral damage of digital evolution.

4.  The Digital Revolution is applying long-rejected profit demands on companies which have gutted the once high quality of most movies, television shows and music, the various arts disciplines, entertainment, news and consumer choices by ignoring the inferior quality of content now being offered.

5.  No one is telling the truth about the long-term mental and physical dangers of constant exposure to human-generated electromagnetic waves, increased radiation, and psychological addiction consequences on humans, nor the impact on natural and climatic changes or anomalies by disrupting the balance of the science of nature.

6.  The unregulated digital world ignores collateral damage to human evolution through genetic manipulation of plants, animals and humans by encouraging profit-driven activity to prolong life through eugenics-driven research using abortion as profitable and necessary for the purification of the human genetic code.

7.  There is no morality or ethics foundation (right or wrong) to the Digital Revolution which undermines our relationship to God, the Creator, the creations of God and God’s plan for the Soul of all humans which cannot be cloned by mankind.

CPT Twit - Linda Ronstadt - Happy Birthday (July 15) from your former University of Arizona Classmate - You made us all proud!

When I was a freshman at the University of Arizona in 1964 a young singer named Linda Ronstadt was in my freshman class.

Here she is in 1964 with New Union Ramblers.

It did not take long to know she was going to be a star and we used to go see her in concert at the local spots like the roller rink.

Linda on far right

Of course no one hit on her when we were at the University of Arizona as her uncle was the Chief of Police in Tucson.

Here she is in 1965 with Stone Poneys.

Within a year or two her recording of Different Drum hit number 1 and Linda would become the queen of rock and roll.

Congratulations to a courageous and pioneering woman and classmate, Linda Ronstadt.

Women’s US World Cup team takes America by storm – set sights on the Capital to use the “special” platform they now own. Really?

Perhaps they were misinformed by the liberal news media obsessing to have them as guests, but as great as the victory in France might be, the high-charged egos might need a bit of humility before they get to the swamp in Washington, DC.

 

So, hold on Women’s World Cup Soccer champions, you were good but not that good when it came to actual television ratings, which mean everything in politics.  You may be receiving the VIP treatment from NYC which was well earned for your play, but your adoration from the liberal television networks and Democrats is a bit over the cliff.

America may not be ready to hand over the keys to the White House just yet, nor can Nancy Pelosi or AOC promise you any action on your causes because they cannot deliver anything without the approval of a Republican Senate and Republican President.

You are the pride of the pitch but do not let the progressive, liberal news media or politicians hoodwink you, they are still far on the outside of power looking in.  I suspect you might be caught up in the adoration which was well deserved for your play on the field but your demands for change have little chance for success without the help of the dastardly GOP.

Here are a few facts regarding the relative power of the performance of the team.

The Netherlands saw record figures, with 5.5 million people, or 88 percent of the viewing public, tuning in to watch their side go down 2-0 to Team USA.

The United States' 2-0 victory over the Netherlands, its second straight title and fourth overall, on Sunday delivered an average of 13.98 million viewers on Fox.

Streaming added an average minute audience of 289,000 (a 400 percent increase over 2015), bringing the total to 14.27 million on Fox Sports platforms. Telemundo added 1.6 million viewers — the most ever for a Women's World Cup match on a Spanish-language network — for a total of 15.87 million on all platforms.

Sunday's broadcast, which aired at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT, is down considerably (almost ten million) from that of the 2015 final. That match is the most-watched in Women's World Cup history in the U.S. with 25.4 million viewers on all platforms.

The U.S. audience for this year's final is third all-time for Women's World Cup games, behind the 2015 final and the final match of 1999 (18 million).

What does it all mean?

The population of the Netherlands is 17.08 million (2017), which means 32.2% of the nation’s entire population was tuned in.

The population of the US is 327.2 million (2018), which means just 4.2% of the entire US population was tuned in on television.

For comparison purposes, the 2019 Super Bowl drew a TV audience of 98.7 million viewers, which was the smallest audience in eleven years.  Still it was seven times more than the World Cup finals.

As for the President you seem inclined to reject, Donald Trump’s inauguration ratings were the second-highest in 36 years, according to Nielsen.  The swearing-in of the 45th president in 2017 was seen by 30.6 million viewers.

Even more ominous, the President’s State of the Union address - TV Ratings: 46.8 million watched Trump’s 2019 State of the Union, up slightly from 46.79 million in 2018.

Soccer team appearances on Rachel Maddow (MSNBC) and CNN, the liberal bastions of cable news, might not help much.  The June ratings tell the truth.

    

As for the Top 5 cable news shows, June was a lot like last year, with the exception of Tucker Carlson moving up to the second slot previously held by Dems debate co-moderator Rachel Maddow. Other than Tucker’s uptick, everyone else in the Top 5 took a little hit, with the final tally being Hannity - Fox (3.2 million), Tucker Carlson Tonight - Fox (2.8 million), The Rachel Maddow Show - MSNBC (2.5 million), The Ingraham Angle - Fox (2.4 million) and The Five - Fox (2.3 million).

Then there was lowly CNN.  Down 18% in both total day and primetime viewership from Q2 2018, not a single one of the Warner Media-owned net’s shows made it into the cable news Top 20. Cuomo Prime Time was the most watched CNN show, sitting at No. 25 among cable news offerings.

Did I mention Trump got over 62 million votes for president and has 61 million followers on Twitter?  That is reality.  That is the truth.
