During a recent flight back from Virginia, I picked up a book in the airport newstand... I don't even remember the title, but it was picking out th' connexions between th' Bush family & the Saudis - withOUT coming across as "just another conspiracy" book. Some of the most astounding things th' writer had to say showed (ancient) hooks between Halliburton, ARAMCO, th' Saudis & th' Bush family all th' way back through several decades.

If even half of what this guy was saying is anywhere close to "the truth" (I mean, in today's digital/TV world, there is very little of THAT left), then Mr. Rowe was definitely pulling th' strings at th' debates, & th' whole idea of us (only) having gone after oil for the last 50 years comes to be much, MUCH clearer. Th' fact that Bush, Sr., was in Texas when JFK was offed, & his connections with Texas pols like John Connelly (a flip-flopper if ever there was one) certainly make one wonder, too.

ALL politicians, under this scenario, are evil, people. & "thought control" is right around the corner. Yah, I know, we all say "that'll never happen to me", because we believe we have a "firm grasp" on what's happening around us (even if we're NOT addicted to network news). Mebbe' those "Skull & Bones" stories aren't so far-fetched, either. Especially when you consider that the "House of Saud" were originally nomadic robbers & thieves in their early years, centuries ago.

What I rant about here will make little difference in "that" larger scheme... but it STILL must be said.... trust no politician... they DO have ulterior motives, even if we don't (really) know what they are (other than the obvious, like GREED & NEED to be STROKED). Is there any point to saying it then? You BET... because I CAN!

So, is there anything you can do about this evil? Well, YES... slant your musical message to whatever is (most) on your mind... I don't mean that you should make a campaign of it... only that when you see evil (like politicians & their lies), write about it... SING about it... PLAY about it. I believe another very effective way to defeat the evil that rich men (i.e., politicos) do in the world is to write/play about the things that are beautiful in the world... even if it's about the beauty (what may be left of it) in Iraq... in North Korea... in "real" people around you... & the beauty in/of resistance to the idea that we can all be manipulated by sound bytes & other such nonsense. Sorta' like th' '60's, without th' pot (as the emphasis point, anyway).

STOP! THINK, right now, about how you can twist the idiotic premises that catsup controllers & petroleum power freaks lay on you via th' nightly news into verbal weapons that reveal to more & more "regular" folks (like us) how insane it is to vote for (or do anything other than look down upon) anyone who makes more than $100k a year... how can they possibly have any idea what we need? C'mon, players... I'm waiting to hear the songs of your new revolution!

GIVE us your THOUGHTS!

You are quite rigth in saying that "Do not trust any politician they are all so evil" and their reason (?) to do so is that they are so raffinated with greed.
I could not find any human motivation for the Iraqi- and Afganistan wars.
How come ?
How can a (rich) human being be so evil that he wants to go to the poorest countries in the world and make them still worse!
And then the american yankees can not understand that the poor peoples hate them so much that the are willing to give away their own lifes.

Tappi - it's the ACTION that counts, though... I notice (from your site) that you're a player... can you create a song that expresses what we're talking about here?

Please send us the LINK to that song when you create it!

Yes and I hvae allready done it but sorry to say in finnish. It is the piece "Back to Kämp" and of course "I shot the sheriff" that is half english.

Back to Kämp is a story about an arabian sheik that is about to return to hotel Kämp in Helsinki , Finland Europe.He is loaded and starts philosofising:

I shot the sheriff is a "begging your pardon", not mine but of Reino Rinne. He is begging your pardon because he
did initialise my work Tuderus by making the story and all wordings to my song called "Tuderus 331"
And that happened in the year 1971 (?) and in his story mr Tuderus who got expelled from the city of Turku ( at that time it was the capital of Finland) in the year 1659 to Lappland (you know the place where father christmas lives). And he wanted to make all the Saame people good christian by destroying all of their "wich drums" KANNUKSET.

And so on
and so on and on....

Hey Dick,
You are right on the money,in response to the recent article you read. Having worked in the media(newspaper),for the last 20 yrs.,I got to see firsthand how articles & events are "sugar-coated" & swayed, to either deceive or sensationalize the public. And this is just a small town newspaper we are talking about! And what a great idea,promoting the use of music to speak out against it! Keep inspiring people to think for themselves. Sincerely, John - 1 Division

Yah... so long as the music doesn't become a "religious" campaign... it still has to be FUN (or it AIN'T music... it's "church"), eh?

But, seriously, I do think that musicians have "power" that they don't often realize... I'm really lookin' FORward to a resurgence of the '60's environment, with even MORE verve than those days, & "fueled" by more (technically) qualified players/artists who can help TURN the world back to peace! I don't mean the "peace" of the '60's, or offering false hopes to folks... I mean lyrically/rhythmically sound composition that conveys human feeling.

Well, ya' got me started.... zorry!

First, George Jr. is a puppet but definately not guiltless. Second, his Dad has quite a lot of power...more than most of us know. Third the Middle East connection is practically a surgical graft. The Skull and Bones which Prescot (the Grand Father), George H. W. Bush (The Dad) and George Jr. (the son) all belong is a Satanic Organization that exists to bring about world government. So as for George Bush saying he's a Christian...that's total BS. Prescot funded Adolf Hitler, that's a fact. Look it up in the congressional records. George H.W. Bush was CIA, the organization that "trained ALL the middle east terrorists and put Sadam in power". This all leads to world government. Everything in politics, finances, religions and education leads to world government. The Bush family are communists. Kruzchev said "we will destroy you from within" and he was correct. through the lodges came the communists and took over America.

Psht. The Bushes and the Bin Ladens? That's nothing. Check out what Georgy's grandfather got in trouble for. It seems he was working for a bank that was cleaning out money and sending it over to Germany while Hitler was using it to fund his Nazi fascist dictatorship.

And no, that's not a conspiracy theory. Read the history books, folks. The FBI even ended up having to take away the bank as a Nazi asset.
