Carlin said it. Must_B_Free said it. Bob Marley said it too

[Must_B_Free]

These statements boil down to the same thing, that it's all about deception to keep you in place.

moofs characterization of Carlin on AAR, 2004:

He appears to say that except for a few hands full of people the rest of the world are just slaves that are kept in their places by religion and the facade of elections and democracy.

Must_B_Free, 2003:

Events are being manufactured and manipulated right before our eyes, but even DU is full of people who say "I'm embarassed that so many people think that some funny business is going on".

That, my friends, is the nature of this Psychological Civil War. You are being reprogrammed to accept fear as your motivation and rationale. You are being taught new bleak lessons about the universe and the nature of God's justice (karma) through these modern media parables that are constructed for your consumption.

Like our natural food has been recently Genetically Modified, our hearts and minds are being spiritually modfied to increase efficiency, obedience, loyalty and returns for the people at the top of the pyramid of power. You can deny it, but you know it in your heart - you can tell that it "feels different" ever since Bush took power.

Bob Marley's song "Babylon System", 1979:

We've been trodding on your wine press, much too long; rebel

The Babylon system is the vampire,
sucking the blood out of sufferers,
graduating thieves and murderers,
deceiving the people continually.

Tell the children the truth.

[KissMyAsscroft]

1. Just look at Iraq and the "Soverignty" they have there...

that tells you all you need to know about the world.

[G_j]

2. It's true! It's true!

and that is perhaps my favorite Marley song. Oh how we could use the Tough Gong today! :-) miss you Bob...

5. The lost unperformed Bob Marly song

300 years ago
Arabs sold the slaves.
Africa divided
white man reaped da gold.

Prepublicans are traitors
rich men we are told.
What they done for people?
They're lied to, killed and sold.

Brother against brother
Is what the Man counts on
When we're all together
All his power's gone

Love your child and free em
To reap what they can sow
If you want your freedom
Its all in what you know

They say Raggea's done
Hip Hop thinks it flows
fulla hate and short on fun
The singers come and go

Gangsta rappers boast
still none outrun the gun
Our songs are sung by ghosts
like ice out in the sun

US rules, Africa fades
Half of Cape town
now dies of Aids
buried in da ground.

AIDS slaves in their graves
Don't know who put them down.
Don't know who made the virus
Don't know who wears the crown

Hands that move against you
to put you on a slab
invents a brand new flu
deep within a lab

You've got to tell your neighbor
There is a message we must send...

Brother against brother
Is what the Man counts on
When we are together
All his power's gone

Freedom needs compassion
not jail for smokin herb
When freedom is rationed
Your life becomes absurd


We are not the infidel
We are not the enemy
We are just the people
We are you, you are me.

We all want to be free.
