Lord of The Rings rap to bring in the new year.
“Middle-earth Mic Drop”
(A Lord of the Rings Rap)
[Intro]
Yeah, straight outta Middle-earth,
We got hobbits, wizards, elves, and dwarves.
From the Shire to Mordor, let’s go!
[Verse 1]
Yo, I’m the one ring to rule ‘em, you better step back,
My flow’s hotter than Mount Doom, lava in the track.
Made more rings than Celebrimbor, that’s a fact,
Forgin’ bars so fire, Sauron signed the pact.
I’m older than Tom Bombadil, ancient and wise,
Got that timeless drip, see it shine in my eyes.
Smokin’ pipeweed in the Shire, chill vibes arise,
But cross me and my crew? You’ll meet your demise.
[Chorus]
I’m the king like Aragorn, sword held tight,
Come back bigger than Gandalf the White.
Through the dark and the shadow, still shine bright,
Middle-earth legends, we own the night.
[Verse 2]
Riding with my squad like the Fellowship of rhyme,
We marchin’ through the beats, takin’ steps in time.
Legolas on the bow, shootin’ bars in prime,
Gimli with the axe, every line’s sublime.
Got Bilbo spittin’ riddles, Smaug can’t compete,
And Frodo holdin’ weight, got that fire beneath.
Samwise the loyal, his courage unleashed,
Middle-earth united, our power’s a feast.
[Bridge]
Gollum on the hook, “Precioussss” on repeat,
But I drop him in the flow, let the lava seethe.
Elrond vibes, council full of heat,
While Galadriel’s wisdom makes the cypher complete.
[Chorus]
I’m the king like Aragorn, sword held tight,
Come back bigger than Gandalf the White.
Through the dark and the shadow, still shine bright,
Middle-earth legends, we own the night.
[Outro]
From the Misty Mountains to Rohan’s plains,
Spittin’ rhymes that echo like Moria’s chains.
This is Middle-earth rap, yeah, we changing the game,
Immortal like the elves, forever my name.
Mic drop, one ring, one love.
Peace to the Shire, and everyone above.

Synopsis of the Disappeared in Argentina (Dirty War, 1976–1983)
• Background: Argentina’s military dictatorship aimed to eliminate political dissidents during a campaign known as the Dirty War.
• Government Control: The regime imposed censorship, dismantled civil liberties, and concentrated power under the pretense of national security.
• The Disappeared: Over 30,000 individuals (desaparecidos), including activists, students, and intellectuals, were abducted, tortured, and often murdered.
• Tactics Used:
• Secret kidnappings.
• Detainment without trial.
• Torture in clandestine detention centers.
• Victims’ bodies were often disposed of in untraceable ways, such as throwing them into the ocean from airplanes.
• Response and Resistance: Families of the disappeared, such as the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, risked their lives to demand accountability.
• Aftermath: The dictatorship collapsed in 1983, and subsequent investigations revealed the scale of human rights abuses. Many perpetrators faced trials decades later.
Importance of the Second Amendment
• Self-Defense Against Tyranny: The Dirty War highlights the devastating potential of unchecked state power. Without a means of defense, citizens were unable to resist the regime’s abuses.
• Protection of Civil Liberties: An armed populace serves as a deterrent against government overreach and preserves individual freedoms.
• Accountability: A disarmed society can be controlled more easily, as seen in Argentina, where citizens had little recourse against a militarized government.
• Prevention of Large-Scale Atrocities: While the Second Amendment is not a guarantee against oppression, it offers a structural safeguard by empowering citizens to resist.
The tragedy of the disappeared underscores the importance of maintaining checks on government power and protecting fundamental rights, with the Second Amendment playing a crucial role in ensuring those rights.
