we've all been had and it is time to admit it

[glynnth]

Um yeh, u r tellin me, terb8, been hangin in a US MILITARY TOWN. Its been a real eye opener....

Didnt realize how utterly corrupt & degenerate our military is, till I took up residence among them.

Have watched this town turn into a full fledged MILITARY/POLICE STATE since 911... DHS spies on every corner, a database on every citizen, black lists & persecutions of all "dissenters"....

I dont doubt they'd turn the guns on their own people, 4 a $5 raise.

[TERb8]

I'm eligarf BTW.

yes, that's all sadly too real.

the Military Industrial Complex has long ago taken over the USA's government but most people aren't in the military, or of that moronic mindset. get outta there man! lots of open spaces in America.  and lots of kind and wise people. you only live once on this incredible pLanET. don't get trapped!

[glynnth]

Not too many in the US dare to talk like this anymore. Will get you on a "watch/surveillance/stalking/p­ublic ostracization/indefinite detainment/slated for torture or assassination list"....

I guess most have decided it's not worth it. Just go along with the status quo and you can keep on having a job, a place to live, and be somewhat accepted in society...

Seems like even many of the "old radicals" are towing the party line now.

Great, my friend. Great!

[caregiversblog]

I have heard this many times live and since it came out on vinyl--I have upgraded to cds since...LOL; but this remains the most accurate and compelling and honest look at the government--nothing has changed except maybe now we will be getting a little more transparency...Hey I can hope.

[highway39]

I like this response to Mr Fleetwood's video...it is shaped for the digitally deaf in our midst. You don't need words or songs when the graphics are as plain as a ballad.

[gayschloffen]

Jackson Browne wrote this song long before shrub went to Iraq and it still rings true.

何故か映画「羅生門」を思わせるビデオです。

I don't know why, but this video reminded me of the movie "Rasho Mon".

Awesome clip.

As a human with heart who was once a child and who is a parent, how could I stand the horror, the pain, and the desparation of those children? The heart that neither shudder at the visuals nor is moved by the message of this video is a dead one.

[DrLemur]

How very relevant. Thank you for the response my friend.

Well done, the song goes so well with the photography. It's really emotional to watch, you can tell you care.

its not me so much as it is those who put this video together; namely, Jackson Browned and his colleagues.

peace!

[WindHarps]

"Power to the people! but they need to rise up!"  Totally agreed (in a positive/wise manner) ~+~))

[shadowfax272]

It takes a wildly popular music video for people to realise this?! Look around and you can see government and religious zealots doing everything to control and manipulate. Fringe groups are marginalised and crushed. Anyone who is 'different' is ignored and shamed. The news feeds lies and people are killed every day for money, oil, diamonds...

[shadowfax272]

Also, 88 ratings? Sweet irony!

[eligarf]

i see 89 but nobody is counting the number of seconds in a day or doing enough with them, hence your comment above rings all too true, but not completely; our differences are our greatestruths, which simply need to be embraced. 4get the pundits and "groups" or labelstigmatizations... its a beautiful world and war is over for those who want it. but way too many kids are starving and dying over greed. they must be stopped.

[chickiesgrettagirl]

Fantastic

[raconter1]

No more automatic assumptions that leaders know what they are doing! They must EARN our trust! People must see how they're being played when the players capatalize on fear!

[eligarf]

The old rules do NOT work for today's societies.

Too many people are afraid and just sitting there waiting to elect a new "leader" instead of forcing them to leave, which we can do in numbers, and peacefully.

The people's house does not belong to corporations, the MIC, the CIA, or any other controlling entity. perhaps it should be torn down and rebuilt?

Question: what do you propose to do. It is true that people are starving- but look at Zimbabwe. White colonist farmers provided so much food in that country that it was an export. Then Mugabe kicked out all the whites, and gave land to blacks- purely race based- Now there is a humanitarian crisis in that country because the "new farmers" don't know how to grow food so the people starve.

Wars are started over Race, Religion, Land- always has been.

So how do you propose we stop human nature?

[eligarf]

PEACEndswars.

the answer is blowing in the wind. always has been.

greed? how to stop that: to start with of course would be to tear down the fedreserve and to do that you need a revolution. it has started but you donT see it yet.

[eligarf]

there are so many problems but really only one solution. sorry i can not spell it out for you personally but you will find the answer.

being peaceful is the first step. wars will end when everyone is aware and peaceful. that is the answer.

utopia? no. reality. there is no other reality. until then the earth spins at 1500 feet per second, but going do you know where?

[eligarf]

you and i steve are two very different types but we are both people on planet earth. you think you are an american and a republican and a conservative. but those words actually have no meaning at all. total bs.

the people who lived before there were words left us very clear instructions... the ancients. why donT most americans know about it? because of the fuckers in the government who support a corrupt system, but they will fall as did Caeser.

[eligarf]

every word you wrote is truth. they are brainwashed for milleniums. the teachers regurgitate what they were TOLD to believe. our inner voice is the voice that speaks the truth. or music. all words are lies but they are tools to use wisely.

[KobyBrandt]

Thanks for reposting this Jackson Browne video Eli. It's a well-constructed sequence of distubing images along with artful, soulful music that conveys the message: stop this insanity now. The current players will not act to stop it -- even thought the vast majority of people on planet Earth have made their message clear.

[KobyBrandt]

It's now time for the People to actively participate in obstructing and interfering in any way possible, with those that wish to continue this insanity in defiance of the will of the majority -- it's called protest. That means active revolt. Hitting the streets to show numbers and vocalize grievances is one way. Another way is to cut off the source of the funding, since the Congress won't: Federal tax revolt. Don't pay en masse. Boston Tea Party of the 21st Century?

[eligarf]

Hi KB; yes, you are hitting the nail straight on the head ~ but how many true patriots are there, really?

The problems we face today require a global solution. There is no way the american people can stop this regime by themselves... we all have to reach out and look around to see the absolute absurdity of what has been going on.

[eligarf]

But the average american can do their part, as you say.

No wishing, wanting, hoping, or praying is going to solve these problems. It requires action, and I'm afraid, on a massive order this world has never before seen. 2008 could very well prove to be another 1776. we shall see, but we must act NOW.

[KobyBrandt]

Remember, it was a minority of the Colonists that went after King George's army against overwhelming odds -- and guess what? The Colonists won. It always starts with one, and an idea, and kind of emanates out from there. A simple and single match starts a tiny fire that can eventually spread into a wild and blazing inferno.

[KobyBrandt]

I don't believe that the solution necessarily needs to be based on a universal global strategy and application. I believe what it requires is an exemplary example of what life can be in at least one place on Earth -- an example for all (or many) others on our planet to wish to emulate and copy. America used to be it.

[KobyBrandt]

We have fallen from good grace - lost our way, if you will - and the loss of our very Liberty beckons many of us to begin to restore it, relight the torch, and inspire the world to bigger and better things once again. It only takes but one -- though a very special one -- to re-kindle the fire, fan it, and then turn it into a blaze. It just may happen, and hopefully sooner than later.

[yougottabFNkiddingme]

good words my friend; though i think we all would prefer to go without the infernos, or blood. That the shrub has not been cut down is proof we live in a day and time of peaceful people. As you say, it is the few or the one... and the solutions must be made in each community, but something has to tie it all together!

[KobyBrandt]

I was attemptig to speak metaphorically, not literally. Apparently, it didn't work. You notice, I didn't say anything about drawing blood (although the Colonists did).

And the tie that binds us all to the cause, no matter where our community may be, is Liberty -- which is just as it's always been. Though I think many have forgot.

[rOtFLLiOLiOLiO]

the metaphor was not lost, but before we loose any more rights, we have to decide whether to fight this fire with fire, or water. The fire is burning bigger and the damage being done is out of control. people are paralyzed with fear, or ignorance, and that needs solutions asap!

[eligarf]

[eligarf]

the battleship? not sure which one that is, but it seems like something a gungho military would do. i have nothing against DEFENDING a territory, but that we failed at that does NOT mean we can invade another's.

Personally the image of a child beginning at 2:50 represents more about the point of this video... no child should have to look like that ~EVER~

[gmfutube]

I agree completely!

I was just curious about the photo, as I have never seen it before and found it intersting,to say the least, considering the BS about "liberation"
