Listen to the Music - News With Views

Music is the only industry where you don’t need to know what you’re doing to get ahead. Well, that and politics. —Gene Simmons

Real music is always revolutionary, for it cements the ranks of the people; it arouses them and leads them onward. —Dmitri Shostakovich

Music is critical in our lives and culture. It’s the inspiration that drives us. It’s also the window to our souls. It’s a reflection as to who we are, what we stand for, and where we’re going. —Bill Walton

Music is telling us everything.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) wants to rid the earth of animals because they allegedly cause problems with the climate…even though animals were put on the earth before man. Crazy huh?

Blackbird, Rocky Raccoon – The Beatles

Who Let the Dogs Out – Baha Men

WEF also tells us that we’re going to eat bugs in the future. There are already ground grasshoppers and various other creepy crawlies being put in processed foods. Ranchers are being put out of business and chicken farms destroyed.

Thank God I’m a Country Boy – John Denver

Just look at the list of food processing plants that have burned down, been blown up or otherwise destroyed under Joe Biden’s administration in 2021-2022. Check out the US map showing every destroyed processing plant.

Blueberry Hill – Fats Domino

Certainly, it appears that the prognostications of WEF, and other One World Order promoters are being helped along with purposeful destruction. Resilient supply chains are necessary to our national security and survival and economic security.

Destruction to bring about the future desired by the unelected elitists?

Eve of Destruction – Barry McQuire

Government Spying on Citizens

The U.S. government has long been afraid of the American people. This is why the 4^th amendment has been ignored and the government is watching us.

The 2002 movie, Minority Report, was about knowing every human’s thought and response to stimuli. Privacy was a thing of the past, the government spied on you in every way. Here we are 22 years later and there are auto license readers everywhere, cameras at intersections, cameras inside and outside businesses and in apartment buildings. Police cars are able to drive by your home and know everything about you via computer.

In communist Red China, the CCP can track a person no matter where they are and we thought that was only in the TV series, Person of Interest, with Jim Caviezel.

How about Google? You are the product with Google, they track every command, every text, every video, they own YouTube, take your phone with you and they know where you’ve been. If you use Gmail, they know every single email you’ve ever written. It’s exploitative, Google uses your personal profile to sell ads.

Cities and counties use drones to check homeowners and see if they’ve made property improvements and if so, they raise your real estate taxes. No, we never own our property, the county government owns it.

Madame Vice President Harris wants to send police into the homes of firearm owners to make sure firearms are properly secured. And, how many people have said, “But I have nothing to hide.” Really? A totally stupid and foolish statement. You’d allow the Stasi into your home to make sure you are properly storing your firearms like Madame VP Harris wants to do?

Everyone has something that is no one else’s business and that they want to keep private, but the government in all its bloated bureaucracy is afraid of the people. Thus, they need to know everything about you and what you own, think, care about and rely on.

One-Hundred Years of Music

They’ve warned us in the past what they’re going to do, through movies, television, articles and most importantly, through music.

Music has so many genres, from country and rock to blues and opera.

Up until the 1960s, music was about love, unrequited love, yearning, blessings, loss, marriage, patriotism, home and family.

Baby boomers surely remember these tunes…

1920 – Louis Armstrong – West End Blues – Jazz, blues and ragtime.

1925 – Gene Austin – Yes Sir, That’s My Baby

1930s – Big Bands – Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman

Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, Ethel Waters, Cole Porter

1938 – Kate Smith – Irving Berlin’s God Bless America

1939 – Judy Garland – Somewhere Over the Rainbow

1941 – The Ink Spots – I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire

Andrews Sisters, Lena Horne, Dinah Shore, Woody Guthrie, Peggy Lee

1954 – The Chordettes – Mr. Sandman, Lollipop

The Kingstone Trio, Bill Haley and the Comets, Elvis Presley, Nat King Cole

1960 – Chubby Checker – The Twist – Classic Rock, British Invasion. Surf Music

The Beatles – Hey Jude, I Want to Hold Your Hand

Vietnam Brought Change

Yes, the 30s also had Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger singing about labor struggles, but no decade matched the 60s for the number of songs calling for action and change.

The Chicago Seven and Bill Ayers’ Weather Underground were the communist activists in the Students for Democratic Society (SDS) using the Vietnam War to advance communism through violent revolution.

The 60s became a decade of death starting with the assassination of Medger Evers in June 1963. Bob Dylan’s, “Only a Pawn in Their Game,” was released in 1964, with lyrics about Evers’ murder.

Arlo Guthrie, filling the footsteps of his dad with “Alice’s Restaurant.” Then, we saw the changes because of the Nam War, so it seemed. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy’s murder opened eyes and the distrust got rolling.

Here are the top ten culture changing songs of the 1960s, but the songs that stand out are those written after the assassination of JFK.

Sam Cooke’s, “A Change Gonna Come” in 1964, Barry McQuire’s “Eve of Destruction” in 1965, and Credence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son.” The decade of war was also the decade of the march for civil rights and full freedom for black Americans.

Pete Seeger’s “Bring ‘em Home” was released in 1966.

In 1968, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were assassinated.

“War,” produced and co-written, by Norman Jesse Whitfield in 1970 was first sung by the Temptations. Whitfield was a producer and songwriter who worked with The Temptations from 1966 to 1974, producing nearly all their great music.

And in 1971, “American Pie” by Don McLean.

Listen to the Music

America has never been in a more destructive and dissolute arena as we are today. Was it forecast? Of course. Through movies, television and music, we have been forewarned of what is coming, not just through the Lord’s Word, like John Rich’s latest, number, “Revelation,” but by current events shaping our future.

In 2003, Les and Loretta Fradkin wrote lyrics far more prescient of our future than many other artists. Les put those lyrics to fabulous music that warned of despair and drudgery, obsolescence, loss and a system crash. Les Fradkin biography.

The music is dynamite, the lyrics foretelling a frightening future.

Everything is Wrong, alludes to society and cultural decay, nothing is right, and everything is wrong. The people know, but they don’t react.

Promoting rot, a gordian knot,

Lawyers and accountants, and God knows what!

The Gordian Knot is a metaphor for a seemingly intractable problem which can only be solved by brute force. Collapse is coming, will anyone react before the whole thing blows?

Kamala/Walz or Trump/Vance? Communist slavery or Freedom and liberty?

Obsolete is an unemployment anthem. What used to be a living wage for a job well done has now been replaced by automation. The job is gone. With AI, more will disappear. What can you do? They lie to you and tell those coal miners they’ll find work in computers. Right…starvation and devastation are the end result.

Obsolete, their life felt so complete

And now they can’t compete, Obsolete

Like Climate Change and the Green New Deal? No more ranchers, no more farmers, all must be made obsolete to save the planet. Insects are plentiful, now they’re being raised for your latest palate delicacies.

“Rocky Mountain Micro Ranch is Colorado’s first and only edible insect farm. We raise crickets and mealworms to sell to restaurants and food manufacturers.”

I feed dried mealworms to my Bluebirds! We don’t put them on our dinner plates!

The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization has said that the world’s demand for protein from beef and even chicken is unsustainable. Protein from bugs is one possible solution.

Really? Six thousand years of animals and now all of a sudden, they’re unsustainable.

Rehearsals for Retirement is all about what we’re suffering through today with the overwhelming inflation, the open border, the illegal aliens flooding our country, rampant crime, and the inability to make the money stretch like it used to. Retirement? Are you kidding? The future is uncertain and if the Stalinists retain power, we’ll be lucky to even have a job, much less think about those “golden years.”

Wall Street swallowed my dreams,

That dot com stock was not what it seems

I’m in a sandwich generation where a buck is not a buck

All we’re eating is inflation, and my family’s out of luck

System Crash is not about the stock market alone, but about the entire country. We are 35 trillion in debt and adding another trillion every three months. It can’t last forever and there are no spending cuts from the House. Control is nonexistent. The U.S. Department of Treasury oversees the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Flooding our country with worthless paper that has no backing is reminiscent of the Weimar Republic where people on fixed incomes or pensioners found their incomes could not keep up with the massive inflation.

System Crash, they stole all our hope now we got no cash

System failed; large dreams died they were bought wholesale

Lost control, beat us to the punch found an old loophole

Someday if it’s not too late, gotta find a way to a system update

Harris just gave 157 million to Lebanon. Since 2022, we have given 175 billion to Ukraine, a war that was unnecessary and was avoidable. An agreement had been made between Putin and Zelensky to avoid war, but Biden sent Boris Johnson to Zelensky to back out of the agreement.

Last March, Biden freed up Iran’s access to $10 billion from their previously inaccessible bank accounts, right after they murdered three U.S. soldiers. President Obama chose appeasement and cash payoffs with Iran instead of strength and accountability.

On November 1, 2020, President Trump was clear when he said, “Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013 and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. … Then, Iran went on a terror spree, funded by the money from the deal and created hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan and Iraq. The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration.”

A former senior intelligence official who said that much of the $1.8 billion cash payoff from the Obama administration was used explicitly to fund terrorism as an additional “screw you” from the leaders of Iran — including Soleimani — to the United States. The rest of the money, he believes, ended up in the bank accounts of corrupt Iranian leaders and terrorists.

Since October 7^th, 2023, Biden/Harris have given $1 billion to the Palestinians.

Now, Israel is fighting for the entire free world, and the American government is funding their terrorist enemies.

How is it that American tax dollars can be given away without the oversight of the House of Representatives? No one ever answers that question.

We’re spending billions upon billions, housing, feeding and educating upwards of 22 million illegal aliens who have broken the law and entered our country.

Conclusion

Are you listening to the music? A crash is imminent. General Michael T. Flynn has warned us as well. We cannot sustain the spending, the invasion, the inflation, the crime, and the diseases entering our country.

Movies, television and music. They tell us about the times we’re living through.

Twenty-two years ago, Les and Loretta Fradkin wrote the lyrics to the music, System Crash. That crash is on the horizon.

Obama has been in control for the last four years with a senile and debilitated Joe Biden. He will easily be in control for another four years, should Harris be selected via illegal alien and mail-in ballots.

Who would you rather have in charge if that System Crash happens? Businessman Donald J. Trump or Willie Brown’s former girlfriend?

Make the right choice!
