Revolution? Beatles lyrics speak truth! "Occupiers" must see this!

Excellent post! So true...

Thanks! I agree about the Beatles...even after 40 years, their message of peace and love and respect comes through. I'm not seeing much of that in the Occupy folks... We can change the world and our minds without hate and violence and destruction. Yes, we can!

I like you OmarEastwind. Great song...it made me feel better. I think we need to revolt against the Federal Reserve System and take over the US Treasury.

Or maybe Mother Nature will simply shrug her shoulders and all the Money in the World won't help...Globalization will be dead.

I would like to revolt against Corporations and turn them into a Cooperative Business Model or employee-owned enterprises. I don't believe that people need some overly-paid CEO to run a business...in fact, they usually ruin the business.

Good day, OmarEastwind. Post a Beatle tune any time you want. I miss John and George so much.

One of the cheif infiltrators / co-opters of the Beatles was Abby Hoffman, who was a Maoist. Hoffman was later arrested for stoking violence and riots at the 1968 Democrat convention in Chicago. He was also involved with Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground.

I like you too, and that was one of the kindest things anyone has said to me in a while...thank you!

I would love to end the Fed! And end all government money that goes to any corporations! And lots of other things like that...

I think if we all took a few minutes to read the Constitution of the US, we might see a beautiful document it is. It's like a rare diamond, that we have heaped garbage and poop on for 200 years...

The govt. today bears little resemblance to the original intent of the founders. Sadly...but it might not be too late...

Thank you again for your kind words and Beatle support!

Really? I haven't hear or read that anywhere...do you have a link or book reference? Interesting....

Hey THE AC...excuse my confusion...are you talking to the "fuck you" guy or me?

Love ya, either way!

Thanks ChopinRocks. Chopin DOES rock. I'm into classical, jazz, OLD country, experimental, WAY into Mozart. Sounds like you have even a more positive attitude towards real art in music.

Zappa's my mentor for what he achieved in his all too short lifetime.

Wouldn't you agree that TPTB are afraid of true creativity? A society of originals is not a society and all that. That's how the "depth" in pop music fails me. I just don't see the cultural significance. But you have a great attitude that makes me think maybe I'm missing something.

Have a great day...

Another great teacher from the 60's, whom I paid little attention to back then (hey, I was a stupid kid!), is Martin Luther King. He would NOT support the tactics being used by the Occupy movement...

Don't buy the revisionist history about MLK...listen to his actual words.

Please watch and listen:

Nice! Thanks for the book links especially...I'll be reading those over the next few days.

yeah - just join the sheep crowd

I am not a particularly wise person, so I'll have to let the very wise, Martin Luther King, explain about non-violence:

Ronald Reagan and friends supported the biggest advanced and secretive military weapons buildup in the history of the world! It was call STAR WARS! Where do you think Directed Energy Weapons, like electrolasers, came from, thin air? The stupidity and hypocrisy of the people on this website who support "Reaganomics" is astounding!

yeah - Mahatma Ghandi thought the same

Good idea! Show this to the occupiers here on GLP. Lets see what they have to say. This should be a fascinating conversation to hear their response to the words of truth from the Beatles!

Except... for some strange reason there just don't seem to ever BE any occupiers here on GLP. Funny that. If you look at any other forums they are there. Just not here. How very strange.

You don't suppose...

We're talking about peaceful revolution, letting go of hate, getting our minds straight, unconditional love, etc...not Reaganomics or laser beams (as if Obama isn't bombing the hell out of people as we speak).

What are your thought about those subjects?

Suppose what? Don't leave us hangin'!

Thanks for your comments! I don't think we're going to see much "fascinating conversation" though, unfortunately. But I have hope...

Check out those MLK videos I posted...hard to ignore his peaceful message, and that it's been distorted by the "movement" today.

True. That's a good point. They could cough up with some mulah for the poor, homeless.

I have never heard this. Actually the opposite.

As a matter of fact, I have always been told that "Come Together " was a protest song written in an attempt to keep Reagan out of the California governership.




you got a source?

I've never heard that either, but even it were true, so what? Despite the liberal rhetoric, Reagan was a good president and a good man.

Do we have to hate everybody? Or can we ignore "leaders" who preach hate?

The civil rights movement was fueled by love of mankind and man's better qualities. OWS is fueled by hatred and envy, two of man's most destructive vices. That is the difference and the reason that OWS will never resonate with the majority.

Comparing these days to the 60s is absolutely rediculous.

This is more applicable or soon will be

Don't know if you'll read this since it took a while but yes, I do agree that creativity is not what they want. The local elementary school here just cut out the art and music programs to save money. Sad...


Zappa always reminded me of the Lenny Bruce of music.


I also want to add that I'd put Malcolm X in the category of persons 'they' don't want you to know about. Notice how all the attention is given to Martin Luther King but never Malcolm X. He was a dangerous man.

Interesting what you are saying here. Dangerous people and dangerous ideas are always silenced. But dangerous to whom? To those wielding the power of course. And the question really is this: is that which is good for those in power also good for the rest of us.

To put it another way: are the slaves best interests met by the things the masters want?

And the answer is that they never are. TPTB's best interests are not our best interests. In every instance, it is in our best interests that the people silenced by TPTB should rather have been allowed to speak. No form of censorship is in OUR best interests. It doesn't matter if that censorship takes the form of the murder of the one speaking, the imprisonment or exile of the one speaking, the threatening of the personal safety of the one speaking or even just the deletion of the words presented in newspapers or... especially... internet forums. Censorship in any form is never in OUR best interests. When it happens WE are being manipulated. And that is NEVER good for us.

THINK about what I am saying. Are you being manipulated? Are you reading all the words that you might? Or is some percentage of the thoughts that might be helpful to you in forming a balanced opinion being removed from your sight before you can even read them.

THINK.

If you are in doubt, try a little experiment. Try, just for fun, to express some ideas that are "on the other side of the fence". See what happens to those ideas. If they are silenced then you have obviously been manipulated. Lied to. Purposefully and intentionally lead astray. A good idea is then to ask yourself WHY and by WHOM.

Things are never as they seem.

You are correct, sir! And that info about John Lennon was very interesting and encouraging, somehow. It's nice to know that Lennon was flexible enough to look back at his youth and say "wow...I was very naive"...

I'm sad though, to watch so many of my friends jump on the Occupy bandwagon and to watch them give up the love and embrace hate. Just because somebody told them to...

I will continue to remind them about what Martin Luther King actually said...not what the "new left" tells us MLK was all about.
