I’m feeling war-like today. I am tired of fighting against my over-lords. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Fuck it, let’s bomb the fuck out of Ukraine! Kiev today! Tomorrow …Moscow!!!
But, America’s Ministry Of Propaganda MUST get their shit together!! When was the last time we had a really decent War March ballad? WWII? Maybe the Vietnam era Green Beret song?
NEVER underestimate the power of song to unite people. Joan Baez! Bob Dillon! Pete Seeger! CCR! Barry McGuire! Cher!! These folks ended the Vietnam War, baby!
Oh wait … fuck ’em … we need songs GLORIFYING war. That will get folks engaged, trust me. The Germans were really, really good at it. So was Amurrika, at one point. We need to bring back the good old days, if we hope to Conquer The World. Forward! March!!
I know most of you ADD curs have the attention span of a gnat. So, I purposely picked two songs just barely over two minutes each. Even so, they are so damn sweet you should be in a War Mood in no time at all. For the record, I’m voting for the German song.
The politicians fear for their power, status, control, and wealth. Rallies, marches, fiery speeches, platitudes, and propaganda are nothing but sound and fury, signifying nothing. The murders of 17 people in France will be used by politicians and government control freaks to further reduce our freedoms and liberties. The fact that 21 people are shot on average every three days in Chicago doesn’t enter the picture. Our controllers seek more control over our lives. Maybe more gun controls will fix the problem. Didn’t the terrorists know that automatic weapons are illegal in France?
This Fourth Turning is rapidly intensifying. The right wing party in France will now gain more supporters. Germany and Sweden are powder kegs. The next leg down in this global debt crisis will ignite the most violent portion of this Fourth Turning. Then the sound, fury, blood, and death will signify something. The sweeping away of the existing social order.
She should have died hereafter; There would have been a time for such a word. — To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing. — Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5, lines 17-28)
In a bold show of unity in the face of global terrorism, millions are rallying across France. World leaders converged on Paris to join the participants. Hundreds of thousands are also marching in a number of French cities on Sunday.

The Sunday rally, dubbed a “cry for freedom”, will commemorate the victims of the Charlie Hebdo massacre and comes after three days of standoffs and hostage situations, with one terror suspect still on the run. Latest reports, however, indicate the suspected woman might have been in Syria at the time of the attacks, which took 17 lives, journalists and policemen among them.

“It will be an unprecedented manifestation that will be written in the history books,” Prime Minister Manuel Valls said. “It must show the power and dignity of the French people, who will cry out their love of liberty and tolerance.”
