Everyone knows I love music but increasingly I have been coming across conspiracy theories about some of my favorite artist of hidden messages in their music and videos I do hope at worst they are just clowning and at best conspiracy theorist got waay too much inter-net time but take a peek anyway.

You know, when I look at the media today I'm reminded of the Roman Empire. When we think of Roam we're always shown monumental architecture, the technological inventions, the lavish lifestyles of the elite etc. What we're not told and shown is the fact that the majority of the population lived in squalor. What was the secreate to keeping the lid on the can? Bread and circus. Make sure they have just enough food to not starve and give them tons of cheap mindless entertainment geared to exciting their senses.
Times have not changed, only the techneology. They game is still the same. It about social control. Sex, violence, materialism. Keep the people emotionally excited and distracted, but nothing that's going to make them think too deeply.
I hardly watch T.V anymore because the majority of what I see is so vacant. Niothing uplifting, motivational, spiritually enlightening. So when I look for example at journalism, and I see that Disney owns a lion's share of network stations, do I really expect news programs to run a story on how Haitian workers are exploited by the Disney corporation there? The game is and always has been about, how do we insure that we control the lion's share of the resources as well as control of the minds of the majority so that they are not capable of mounting an opposition to our position within society?
So yes, they will reward certain individualsfor being their spokes persons because they know that whatever they pay them only goes to maintaining the status quo. We've got more kinds of narcotics than ever before, more acess to emotionally dead sexual activity than ever beore, more mindless distractions than ever before, the lyrics of our songs are more pointless and shallow than ever before. Has anyone noticerd how the number of military themed video games has skyrocketed recently. Most of entertainment is not simply about entertainment nor is it about exploriing and celebrating the human condition. Its about numbing out. No one cares about activism anymore or even simple socializing because they've got get home to watch dancing with the stars. And all the while our rights are being eroded right under our noses as we dance away to silly songs with silly lyrics sung by people with pretty faces and no voices. It is food for thought.

There is a saying as the world turns your world burns..(in reference to a popular T.V soap opera) but quite true the Colosseum is still the same let the games begin.
