US Inc., DC, has been terrorizing us, and the rest of the planet, for corporations and bankers... for decades! Time to drain the swamp it is way overdue.. Time to terrorize them about their criminal, treasonous corruption. Time to get OUR errant child under control.
Read these lyrics careful and well... Yell Fire!!!
Artists are those within our society that have a special insight, understanding, knowledge... vision... that the rest of us do not see with such ease as they do. In many cases these artists also have the ability to express and share what they know with the rest of us via “artistic expression”. Their gift is two-fold. They have the vision and are able to express it artistically with the rest of us to be become recognized by the masses for their gift as an artist.
There are also many that have the “vision” but not the gift for expressing it. Would they also be considered an “Artist”?
Alas for these artists what they get to see and know many times is not easy to carry. Just holding a vision of theirs can be... personally challenging? Problematic? Hard to accept? Hence the rise of what we all know as the “tortured” artist. Some one staggering around under the weight of what the rest of us do not carry.
We all know this instinctive these people are the visionaries and prophets among us. Not only do they deserve latitude from us but, more importantly, they deserve our attention, to be heard, what they are expressing we can all learn from their gift.

A revolution never come with a warnin'
A revolution never sends you an omen
A revolution just arrived like the mornin'
Ring the alarm, we come to wake up the snorin'They tellin' you to never worry about the future
They tellin' you to never worry about the torture
They tellin you that you'll never see the horror
Spend it all today and we will bill you tomorrowThree piece suits and bank accounts in Bahamas
Wall Street crime will never send you to the slammer
Tell all the children in the arms of their mommas
The F-15 is a homicide bomberTV commercials for a popping pill culture
Drug companies circling like a vulture
An Iraqi babies with a G.I. Joe father
Ten years from now is anybody gonna bother?Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yoA revolution never come with a warnin'
A revolution never sends you an omen
A revolution never come with a warnin'
A revolutionEveryone addicted to the same nicotine
Everyone addicted to the same gasoline
Everyone addicted to a Technicolor scream
Everybody trying to get their hands on same greenFrom the banks of the river to the banks of the greedy
All of the riches taken back by needy
We come from the country and we come from the city
You play us on the record, you can play us on the CDAll the shit you given us is fertilizer
The seeds that you planted you can never brutalize them
Tell the corporation you can never globalize it
Like Peter Tosh said, 'Legalize It'Girls and boys hear the bass and treble
Rumble in the speakers and it make you wanna rebel
Throw your hands up, take it to another level
And you can never, ever, ever make a deal with the devilYell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo

Just throw your hands up
Throw your hands upA revolution never come with a warnin'
A revolution never sends you an omen
A revolution never come with a warnin'Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yoA revolution never come with a warnin'
A revolution never sends you an omen
A revolution just arrives like the mornin'
Ring the alarm, we come to wake up the snorin'Yell fire, yo, yo, yo
Here we come, here we come

Michael Franti & Spearhead: Yell Fire - Live at All Good Festival:
Time to make "Them" nervous...
I haven't got much time to write this as I have to pack my stuff and head out to find where a mother load of gold has been lost and find it before someone else does.
Today I happened to see an old episode of Kung Fu. In particular, concerning the lost mother load of gold, The Salamander episode. The "show" was about the usual moral and spiritual questions set in an old west prospecting town. Everyone had given up looking for gold there except for one of the main players in this "show". Finally, at the end of this "show", he discovered where the Gold mother load actually was. Before he could dig it out he was shot and died, the mine holding the mother load ended up having the entrance cave in. Lost forever.
Till now!!! All I have to do is discover where that "show" was filmed. Using landmarks from the scenery it should be no problem to pin point the actual location of that lost mother load gold mine. Open the entrance, dig up instead of forward as the "show" revealed and I am rich!
I just hope someone else has not beat me to it.
... (long pause) ...
Pretty crazy right? Chasing after a pure fantasy presented in a "show" as if it were real? Investing my time, my life, my money.. trusting with all that is important and valuable to me... on something that is nothing more than an illusion?
... (long pause) ...
Did you watch the ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX morning news "shows"? Understand what I am saying?
... (very long pause) ...
When Kung Fu was playing back in the early 70's I liked that show. As did many others. Seeing it again after all these years have passed it was certainly a stroll down memory lane. What came to me today, that did not back then, was the question and concern about the "shows" actual basis in fact. What I mean is... how well did the "show" hold as true as they could to what was, an accurate depiction of, the Shaolin teachings and monastery? Certainly an ancient honorable temple of wisdom and learning. I would hate to think it was bastardized, for entertainment reasons, by Hollywood. They do seem to love "misinforming".
Artists are those within our society that have a special insight, understanding, knowledge... vision... that the rest of us do not see with such ease as they do. In many cases these artists also have the ability to express and share what they know with the rest of us via “artistic expression”. Their gift is two-fold. They have the vision and are able to express it artistically with the rest of us to be become recognized by the masses for their gift as an artist.
There are also many that have the “vision” but not the gift for expressing it. Would they also be considered an “Artist”?

76+ million views?? Hey!
With all the attempts by US Inc, DC, to take control of the Internet lately a few on "The Hill" have decided to introduce a "Digital Bill of Rights" to protect Internet freedom and openness. Supposedly to protect the Internet from US Inc., DC, "our" government, attempts to take control of it.
Sure sounds good does it not? Could this be they, US Inc, DC, are actually doing something right? They seem to be obsessed, hell bent even, about controlling the Internet. No matter how many times they are told no (10 at last count) they keep trying anyways. Will the "Digital Bill of Rights" put an end to their obsessed hell bent mania?
I seriously doubt it. I could just say it comes from "Them" I rest my case! Them is certainly a BIG problem. That is not the problem I refer to however. Hmmm... maybe there are two problems?
The problem I refer to is it all sounds good but relies upon "Rule of Law". There is the problem. There is no rule of law. US Inc., DC, is outright and quite openly criminal and treasonous law means nothing to them. Except of course when they are locking up, extorting and executing innocent people. They have a lot of nerve to call this a "Bill Of Rights" after what they have done to the the original 10 amendments to the Constitution commonly referred to as "Our" "Bill Of Rights". Understand this is Constitutional Law, highest in the land, to change it requires, according to the rule of law, an amendment process. Yet somehow this US Inc., DC, beast from hell has almost all but completely eliminated "Our" "Bill of Rights", no amendment process, no following the rule of law, downright criminal and treasonous.
Rule of law? Not hardly. More like rule of treasonous criminals make the law up whatever suits their needs.
Even the original Constitution, when adopted as the US Inc. corporate charter, had thirteen amendments at that time. Number thirteen mysteriously just disappeared. There you have it. Right on the day of US Inc. birth, it's very first breathe so to speak, the first thing they did was erase the original Thirteenth Amendment. We don't need no stinkin' "Rule Of Law" nor "Amendment processes"! And actually do the research... Several of the adopted "Ammendments" to the US Inc. corporate charter were not even properly ratified. Rule of Law or rule of treasonous criminals?
Congress, US Inc. now tells us they are going to pass a "Law", the "Digital Bill Of Rights" to protect us. It's the LAW! Sounds real good does it not? But so was the original Bill of Rights excuse me where, and more important how, did that get deleted?
This, there IS NO RULE OF LAW, kinda makes the whole delusional fantasy love affair we have with US Inc. DC, go right out the window. You're going to promise me what? And exactly, based on all your broken promises to date, treasonous and criminal activity even, just exactly why should I believe this?
This, there IS NO RULE OF LAW, is the problem with them passing any "law" to fix anything.
Here is an article about the "Digital Bill Of Rights" over at RT/USA:
SOPA opponents release Digital Bill of Rights
...
“I believe that individuals possess certain fundamental rights,” Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) writes on his website this week. “Government should exist to protect those rights against those who would violate them. That is the revolutionary principle at the heart of the American Declaration of Independence and US Constitution. No one should trample our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That's why the Bill of Rights is an American citizen's first line of defense against all forms of tyranny.”
...
Understand how absurd this statement is based upon what they have done to our original Constitutional Bill Of Rights?
...
"Government is flying blind, interfering and regulating without understanding even the basics," Rep. Issa explains on his site.
...
That's what they do. Make laws about things, even with their research committees, they know very very little about. They know more than those that actually have a vested interest and true expertise.
...
“We have a rare opportunity to give government marching orders on how to treat the Internet, those who use it and the innovation it supports."
...
US Inc., DC, does NOT get any marching orders from "We the people". That's not who they work for, that is not who they protect.
...
The Digital Bill of Rights:
1) The right to a free and uncensored Internet.
2) The right to an open, unobstructed Internet.
3) The right to equality on the Internet.
4) The right to gather and participate in online activities.
5) The right to create and collaborate on the Internet.
6) The right to freely share their ideas.
7) The right to access the Internet equally, regardless of who they are or where they are
8) The right to freely associate on the Internet
9) The right to privacy on the Internet
10) The right to benefit from what they create
Oooooh! 10 of them?! Kinda warms the heart. Makes it all feel and seem like it is a real Bill of rights.
How can anyone believe anything US Inc., DC, tells them after their clear history of "Judge a tree by it's fruit" actions?
Ok... maybe several problems...
US Inc., Washington DC, the corporate nation state foreign to America we all lovingly know as "our" defacto Federal government, is a bit tricky to specifically classify. Socialist? Nazi? Dictatorship? Banana Republic? They, US Inc., DC, are exhibiting traits they could be any one or, is it possible?, all of these!
"GASP! How can you say such a thing?!"
"Eh?" To that I say turn the TV off at least once or twice a year? Change the channel? Put your "Gameboy" down for a moment or two? Seriously try to cut back on your Sodium Fluoride? Get off the couch and out of the house more often? Read the writing on the wall? Can you see which way the wind is blowing? Wake up and smell the coffee Neo? Do your homework? What part of "I am free!" do you think is still there as you are being raped, pillaged and ransacked several times a day? Could this, just maybe, be the real reason we have these problems as you are able to say such a thing?
Getting back to tricky classifications.. the problem is that they tell us they are one thing as they do another. Yes.. they lie. They tell us we are America, Free Republic, Constitutional limited government checks and balances rule of law. US Inc., DC, is most definitely NOT that. It doesn't even vaguely resemble that. They lie. They are telling us all they are what they are not, what we all want to hear it seems, as they take turns on our mother's in the next room.
"GASP! ..." Lets not even go there.
Banks and corporations are running and in control of it all. Corporations.. mindless.. soulless.. think they have a problem taking turns on mothers? They control your media, they control your education, they control your government, they control your electoral processes, they control you!
It's very hard to get a clear view and understanding about the nature of this US Inc., DC, animal when all you get from them is lies, smoke, mirrors and the magic matrix mass media manipulation machinery. When they are doing their expert best to convince you they are something they are most definitely not.
Once you break out of the "Matrix" illusion that has most everyone trapped it all quickly comes apart. The illusion vanishes and evaporates easily with nothing but the most simple examination. Sadly, alas, what also quickly is discovered is that US Inc., DC, not only is NOT what you thought it was it is in fact clearly some kind of evil beast. Wave your flag if you must but it is the flag of some kind of evil beast. Specific classification is a little tricky when your dealing with smoke, mirrors, lies and Matrix's.
One of the best tools we have for trying to sort out what is real and what is illusional matrix lie is the "What do they actually do?" question.
"I want to bring the troops home and end the senseless wars!" as they do just the opposite.
"I want to balance the budget and reign in government spending!" as they do just the opposite.
"Vote for me I am the real change you have wanted for decades!" as they do just the opposite.
"I am doing this stimulus/bailout to save the economy!" as it does just the opposite.
"We need more government and regulations to make things right" as it does just the opposite.
This could definitely go on, ad nauseum, I know you know this, you get the point.
Socialist? Nazi? Dictatorship? You all know what they are. And to anyone who has stopped being told what to think and simply looks for themselves what is actually going on and happening you will discover any one of these labels could apply and be true of US Inc., DC.
Let me clarify what I refer to when I ask "Banana Republic?". This is in reference to completely corrupt and totally dysfunctional electoral processes. The GOP for the past two presidential election cycles has had a smoking hot candidate, landslide Jeffersonian class, was lighting fires in people's minds and hearts, getting people to turn TV's off, put Gameboys down, getting off the couch, out of the house, doing their home work.. curing apathy.. Ron Paul. For anyone who knows what is going on a true phenomenon/R3volution ground swell prairie fire had been invoked by this man and his ideas! If the electoral process playing field had been level and fair Ron was the true man from Krypton messiah the people wanted. Here is the "Banana Republic" thing, it's official it seems. The playing field is NOT level! How did George put it?
The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care.
- George Carlin
Oh yeah.. thanks George. We don't care if Ron is the smoking hot peoples choice. He is not OUR choice who run this country. So we will use our media, matrix and corruptible control of the electoral process to make sure he is not, even though you all want him, what you will get. You will get who we decide you can have.
Don't you just love voting for change?
Officially a Banana Republic it seems. Nothing like a good election sham and fraud... joke.
So..in the end, it seems based upon observation about what US Inc., DC, actually does... they could be any or all of these wonderful things. I am just so proud to be a US Inc, DC, citizen. USA, USA, USA! Wave a flag.
One thing they are definitely not is anything that even remotely resembles the original De Jur American Republic. You know, Capital in Philadelphia? Not a corporation owned by corrupt international bankers?
And one thing they definitely are, based of course on their actual actions, some kind of evil rabid insane criminal treasonous beast. Specific classification a bit tricky.
