Rage Against the Machine (RATM) is, or was, a band. And Afro-Latin singer and sincere vegetarian activist Zack de la Rocha may have been the main reason for their success. Morello fans may disagree.
Posse comitatus (using military for police functions) In a time of war, as Trump's CIA and Pentagon join Israel in their genocide in Gaza by bombing and terrifying Iran and arming Israel's IDF, it is no surprise the White House is trying to intimidate and neutralize Los Angeles. Test it here and export it to the rest of the country, from California to the USA.
(Hip-Hop HeadAlex Hefner) Wig, err, wearing Hefner finally listens to the viral country hit song everyone's talking about so he can review and react to it. With Oliver Anthony's anti-establishment lyrics, one is reminded of San Francisco Bay Area punk rocker Jello Biafra with a similar message:
(Dead Kennedys/Jello) Plastic Surgery Disasters/In God We Trust, Inc.
Latinos were in the Confederacy?
Country singing, red-bearded Viking Oliver Anthony released a hit song, "Rich Men North of Richmond." Everyone's talking. Is it offensive? Maybe. It's country not PC, but it's largely pretty good, I mean, for country music.
It seems legit, like that other unexpected country banger "Old Town Road" by that young, flamboyantly gay Black guy and Miley Cyrus' sell out dad.
Seems like a drinkin' ditty.
The "rich men" must live above Richmond, Virginia, as in DC. The song has become an overnight viral sensation after gaining traction on social media.
Wiki says it has been described as a "blue-collar anthem," an "everyman anthem," and a "right-wing anthem" [1, 2, 3].
Within days of its release, it topped sales and streaming charts -- outstripping the Beatles and Elvis the Pelvis and Lady Gaggy and even Nazi Barbie (TayTay Swift). It then debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Mr. Anthony the first artist to debut atop the chart without any prior chart history in any form [4].
The greatest viral country song broke the internet
Taylor sings the brilliant "Bitch" for Grandma
Women do country better (like Shania Twain)
"Bubba" Jimbo's Confederate Buddha: racist?
The song was first uploaded to YouTube on August 8, 2023 [5] by Radiowv, and by word of mouth the video received over 5,000,000 (5 million) views in its first three days [3].
Prior to the song's success, Mr. Anthony was not a well-known musician, as he had previously only self-recorded songs on his Rinky Dink cell phone [6]. This exito is Mr. Anthony's first professionally recorded song [7]. More
Jimmy Dore is one of the sharpest, most astute, and genuinely funny stand up comics around. His left leanings are legion, and his self-deprecating manner is engaging -- with his expanding cast of misfit companions, his show on Pacifica Radio ("Buddhist Radio" most nights with the overnight show "Something's Happening" with Roy of Hollywood and Sunday mornings with Alan Watts. It's witty humor with an in-your-face, anti-Trump slant. More + AUDIO
I'm not a fat ass! I'm not a baby! I'm king president for life! (Andrew Mollenbeck)
.
LOS ANGELES, California - A balloon portraying Pres. Trump as a fat ass baby in diapers has taken flight in DTLA.
The balloon is a lookalike to the one that accompanied protests in London over the summer. This one lifted off next to the 110 Freeway, where it can be seen by drivers.
"It's part of the political landscape, and I think people are interested to come and see it," says Simon Sidi, co-founder of PolitiCon (politicon.com).
"We're going to fly it most of the day into the evening, and then it will be inside PolitiCon so people can come and take selfies with it tomorrow," he says.More
(MTV Decoded) Every racist thing Trump has said (almost)
(Div) April 4th is the commemoration day of the assassination of the great Christian preacher and peace activist, civil rights leader, and Vietnam War denouncer Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was assassinated by U.S. officials in a covert operation a day after delivering this magnificent and inspiring speech/Baptist sermon. It seems to predict his demise given that he had already been threatened with being outed for some indiscretions. A personal friend and fellow Nobel Peace Prize candidate of Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, Dr. King was inspired by India's Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi, who kicked the British out of India after centuries of colonialism and abuse, through strictly NONVIOLENT means. It is the only way to long term change, because if we fight the fighters then only fighting would win. Peace must pacify the impulse to violence, war, abuse, and militarism.

Abby Martin has become a new media superstar with her whip-smart take on truth telling and cutting through bullsh*t to deliver American news on RT (Russia Today).
TheLipTV invites her to discuss being labelled as propaganda for Russia, the 9/11 truth movement, Dr. Ron Paul and his son Rand's presidential bids, and much more on this interview with Buzzsaw.
When UC San Diego graduate Abby Martin (abbymartin.org) began streaming her thoughts and emotions through a paint brush at 19, she discovered her niche.
The elaborate and intricate detail that flows from her onto the canvas in a perfect distribution of dots and swirls reflects this introspective artist's ability to juggle and organize the chaos of the human mind into a comprehensive piece of fully charged beauty.
The explosive energy of each piece calls to life with psychedelic force the different realities Abby Martin treads as she deconstructs the world around her in constant search of balance and truth.
Vladdy, can you cancel Abby Martin on RT?
Whether reflecting on the natural world or the manmade world, the awakening or deadening of consciousness, cultural controlling opposites, the power of the mystic and all that is unknown, the condition of the social, the construction of the economic, or the corruption of the political, Martin's work displays an intense passion for life and her deep desire to engage others in her vision.
Over the previous seven years [prior to 2013] a variety of different venues in San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area have exhibited Martin's paintings. She is now living in the Belly of the Beast in the Heart of Babylon (Washington, DC) hosting her own television show "Breaking the Set."
Abby Martin developed her own new show, "The Empire Files"

“Jimmy Dore is: outrageous and outraged, bothersome and
bothered, and a crucial, profane, passionate voice for progressives and
free-thinkers in 21st century America. This book will anger you if you’re a conservative and enrage you if you’re a liberal. Enjoy!”

Why is your brother-in-law concerned about the Estate Tax?
Why do millionaire news reporters get everything wrong?
Why are blood-sucking teachers bankrupting America?
War Is A Racket!And they knew it back in 1935 [because U.S. GeneralSmedley D. Butlertold everyone in his book, War is a Racket]. ISIS is the newest boogeyman invented to get us into another pointless war.
Jimmy answers all these questions and more! In this laugh-out-loud collection of essays
that are both street-smart and informed, Jimmy sets out to discover
what’s wrong.
Crackling with caustic wit and insight, no aspect of
American life is safe from Jimmy’s hilarious scrutiny. He gets to the
heart of the issues: why Republicans should support gay marriage, or why
the president shouldn’t have Secret Service security until the country has gun
control, bringing clarity and hilarity to the incoherent noise of our
punditocracy.
Catch me co-hosting The Young Turks
This outrageously entertaining manifesto is an excellent resource for
those who have survived long arguments during family dinners. And in a
media environment dominated by corporate interests, Jimmy’s
take-no-prisoners approach is fearless -- going after both political
partiesand all corners of mainstream news, a David against an army of
Goliaths.

In Roman mythology, Saturn was an agricultural deity who was said to have reigned over the world in the Golden Age, when humans enjoyed the spontaneous bounty of the earth without labor in a state of social egalitarianism.
The sexual revelries of Saturnalia (held around the winter solstice and the famous date of Dec. 25th) were supposed to reflect the conditions of
the lost mythical age, not all of them desirable. The Greek equivalent
was the Kronia, an Athenian festival held in honor of Cronus (Greek Kronos. More
In the most classic and well known version of Greek mythology, Cronus or Kronos (Greek Κρόνος) -- not to be confused with Chronos (the personification of time) -- was the leader and the youngest of the first generation of Titans (Buddhist asuras), divine (deva) descendants of Gaia (Mother Earth or Bhūmi), and Uranus, the sky (space). He overthrew his father and ruled during the mythological Golden Age, until he was overthrown by his own son Zeus and imprisoned in Tartarus.
