yesterday riots in Athens, Greece are presented by media as troubles in the center of Athens by anarchists and criminals! Which is not true!!! The police created the terror and started attacking the people so they wont approach the parliament! And all media tell lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So the revolution will not be televised! Indeed!!!!!!!!!!1
Fuck Ron Paul. Whether you think he knew about the newsletters is one thing, but it is fairly obvious he hasn't done anything to support minority rights.
@wookiewhat Are you crazy...he wants to legalize drugs, anti-drug laws were created by racists in the Office to oppress minorities! He even said so himself, that these laws are racist. Wake up, he is the least racist person running! Obama is more racist than Ron Paul!
jay electronica brought me here...this is amazing and im kinda ashamed that i didnt know who he was before this...could someone tell me if he is the poet speaking at end of lost in the world by kanye west? if so what poem is that?
The Revolution may be televised, but we won't notice because we are to busy arguing amongst eachother to notice. At least, that is what I gather from youtbe comments and political forums.
Spoken word is the key to infinite mental power that the original man used to preserve information and brain power. Today Satan has perverted this tool of mental development by making rap or mental crack, an art for reduced to wasting brain power in repetition of STUPIDITY.... RIP Brother Gil Scott...The revolution is nothing more than the revolution of the mind of the MASSES...Satan will be run off the earth, but if first must happen the mind of human beings, or gods...u choose! READ PEOPLE!
@KAMEOslaps probably was reference to an old ad, of perhaps some company mascot that appeared in commercials inside a toilet bowl, cleaning it; like the scrubbing bubbles do in commercials today, or how mr. clean appears in a kitchen to fuck some bitch and clean for her.
I am aware of it's origins and I am not confused as to it's original intent but I do know that it's message is still applicable to us today. The revolution will not come out of a screen in your living room.
This video about Mind Control (5 of 6) will arm you. It's the blue and orange video posted by NRH117. Dr. Ron Paul will save the world by you. This is not political. Zero doubt. God speed. youtube.com/#/watch?v=UrVVsESmpBo. Learn!
Obviously the beauty in this is that it appeals to all people in al walks of life. Replace "white" and "black" with any oppressor and oppressed -- rich over poor, property over expression, power over information. The next revolution indeed will not be televised, tweeted, +'ed or "Like"ed, but it is definitely closer than ever, br0thers and s1sters.
@6ii1ii9 You say this on a vidoe of a black artist? This man Ron Paul called us criminals or semi criminals. I would never never never vote for him if he were the only candidate running.
I'm an Anarchist and for the first time in my life, I will be registering to vote, and I want Ron Paul. There is a .5% chance that America would become a nation of Anarchy, and it appears as of today that can only be achieved through violence which goes against my motto. Sitting here though and bitching about wont bring change. I don't want Obama again so I am taking one step at a time and Paul is the way to go. Still I will keep my belief. Where there is authority there is no freedom.
@havasm Ron Paul is a racist so it makes perfect sense. Prime example of one of his many outlandish quotes - "Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal." ~ Ron Paul. He is a threat to the black community.
R.I.P. Gil Scott-Heron, a true hero and such a powerful lyricist. As a 15-year-old it really saddens me that most of my generation don't appreciate geniuses like him and keep listening to these meaningless pop songs with zero content, so I wrote and recorded my own take on the statement "The Revolution will not be televised" and I put it on my channel for anyone who would want to listen. Let's bring back REAL MUSIC, with REAL MEANING. One Love
@HarryRobinsonMusic totally agree mate Gill was a genuis.Todays music just ain't got no soul,feeling or meaning its all manufactured pissh.These talent shows on TV have killed the music industry and i actually feel a bit sorry for the kids today.Have you listened to 'The Bottle' a classic Gil track.
Revolution coming up in 2012! Vote Ron Paul in or fight!!! The new NDAA bill allows the government to hold us captive without trial. But of course, us being captured with not be televised and neither will the REVOLUTION!!!
@TheMediaHustle OMFG! Conspiracy theorist? Would you rather have Obama going to war with Iran?Martial Law is upon us and Ron Paul is the only one against it.Look up NDAA bill that Obama passes. You can be held captive and even killed without trial!!!
None of our candidates are competent enough to run this country. We need to take matters into our own hands, people shouldn't be afraid of their governments, the governments should be afraid of their people.
@Az3trk True that but the media has made everyone scared of the government. People have handed in there guns so everyone can be safe but no one is safe. The police are supposed to defend us but are being trained to actually kill us. Ron Paul has exposed this and that is why I believe he is fit for president. He is against fear. He wants to wtop fear while all other candidates try to create it!
Although I respect your opinion, I think Ron Paul is downright crazy. Sure, he brought forwards the warning about FEMA, but most of his other ideas are strictly based on his religious beliefs. Church and state needs to be kept separate, it was one of the founding ideas of this country. Additionally he blames AIDS carriers to be immoral killers, against gays, is anti-Semitic, and praises racism.
He wants lower taxes for the 1%, and higher for the rest
@Az3trk Sorry man but you have your facts wrong. He is planning on cutting spending which will mean less debt in the long term. He wants to get rid of the departments that are corrupt and is against the federal reserve which is the reason we are so far in debt. The federal reserve is a private bank that prints are money and charges compound interest on it. It is a impossible to get out of pile of debt! Ron Paul is not against gays. That is the media tormenting him.
@KillTheIlluminati24 getting out of debt aint gonna be fun. we're paying for our arrogant passed. we are going to suffer, but we are going to suffer together. now take my hand, and bleed with me. bleed with the rest of america, and we wont have to bleed with the rest of the world.
Additionally he supports leaving the UN and NATO...
I don't mean to bash on only Ron Paul, I think all candidates are incompetent and will drag our country down even further. We have turned into a Police State, and our freedom is threatened.
@Az3trk No offence taken. I love debating with people. The only reason he wants to leave UN and NATO is because they are the cause of so many wars. NATO went into Libya to overthrow a government who in my opinion was trying ot make it's country better by making gold as currency which Ron Paul also supports. Our freedom is defiantly threatened and that is only because he think it is normal for the presidents to make rules and go against the constitution like Obama has.
@labonneruerouge Geez dude, I don't know what your stuffing your pie hole with, but I really think you need to give it a rest. Paul wants peace, diversity and true choice - fundamental human values. He's no idiot. He knows the road to sustainability will be challenging, but I mean, c'mon, if he's not elected we're just postponing the clean up another four years. Who knows if we'll all make it through the night? Washington parties like a rabid dog, man.
@SleekMinister He wants withdrawal from the UN and NATO, doesn't believe in raising taxes, doesn't believe that a woman has the right to terminate a pregnancy, doesn't want the federal government to regulate education, doesn't believe in climate change, and voted against ending the genocide in Darfur. If that alone doesn't prove he doesn't understand how to run a country, we live in different realities.
@labonneruerouge He stands for independence - you know, the right to decide how you want to live on your own land? Exactly how we should define it will be a challenge, but whatever the future holds for us, I don't think we can maintain face very long without calling it quits on roulette banking. He's the only candidate that is firm on this.
I could pick your list apart, but we are obviously worlds away on approach to current issues, so I'll settle for a thanks and a good luck.
@SleekMinister You say you can pick that list apart but you really can't, that's what he stands for. And maybe you value the things that he stands for but that does not mean he is fit to run the US- the man is an idealist and doesn't really seem to understand how the presidency and the world works.
@labonneruerouge Actually he has had firm positions on economic issues since the seventies. Like that teenyweeny thing right there, you know, the thing about how bankers can loan out like ten times more than they already have on balance. Only recently have people been paying attention and what do you know? He's been right for forty years! Roulette banking isn't healthy for the economy. Who'da thunkit??
@SleekMinister Oh wow, he's against debt, what a great reason to elect him! What makes you think that as president, he could change anything? It comes down to laws that republicans refuse to vote for to regulate financial institutions, the president doesn't hold much power on that issue. And as long as congressmen prefer being rich to being good (which will be forever), things are unlikely to change. And the fact that he has ridiculous views on most other issues make him a shit choice.
political rap was born with Gil Scott-Heron and there are so few people carrying his legacy on. Hip hop has become a much stronger opiate for the masses than even Marx thought religion was. The Media is killing our culture, our people our future. People are too dumb to know it watching Fox News and listening to Soulja Boy. We need a revolution and indeed brothers IT WILL NOT BE TELEVISED!!! Solidarity no matter what your race is this is not a question of black and white. We are the 99%
If you think the advertisement played is not random, your revolution has already been televised. If you think that you're "awake" because you saw an advertisement here and didn't like it, your revolution has already been televised. If you think an ad on this video is ironic, your revolution has already been televised. If you can't define the word commodity, and don't understand why you're likely one already, your revolution is on reruns.
These revolutionaries (black panthers) never did took offensive movements. The weathermen underground, and other leftists group took up position that Black Panthers will not do.
though not televised, they still found a way to censor it with bullshit media that brainwash you into being what the TV believes that keep the mind preoccupied with other stuff that does not let you see that there should be or even think about a revolution
Homeland Security Dept. ordered the shutdown of OWS camps. They have authority over mayors in instances of "national security." What are they securing? The right of the rich to buy politicians and rob us blind. The revolution will not be televised. The cops beat the reporters who try and the rest report on more pleasant things.
@jacarradicefrench Spoken word artist? Beat movement? Political communique? Do understand the meaning of those styles of conveying a message?
Of course you don't or you wouldn't have asked. Turn on the radio and listen to whatever generic bullshit you most likely thrive off of. "All he does is, like, talk or something? Ugh." Fuck off.
@duckydeeznutz Actually, I like Baroque and Romanticist music. I like Mr Scott-Heron (God rest his soul), but this song really doesn't suit my tastes. I believe that a man should have the freedom to both speak his approval and disapproval of a song without being harassed, thank you.
"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." - Thomas Jefferson.
This quote sums up why today's government does not prioritize education and why corporate controlled mainstream media will not televise the revolution. Because it is easier to control and strip the rights of an entire nation of idiots than an informed, intelligent one.
@Albatrours haha thats not the point. it would be hard to explain it if you dont understand, but its not the fact that there is an ad on the vid that bothered that guy.
We need to chant this on Occupy wall Street- the revolution will not be televised. It just needs to be said in a way that reflects our present realities. Jill Scot Heron, RIP. You were so darn right, Our Revolution Will Not be Televised! At least for now. and even CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, will be left with no choice but to televise.
The revolution will not be televised... it will be on the internet. All of the organizational work is done on the web.We are seeing the beginning of the cyberespace revolution.
What's up is that, virtually overnight, "Occupy" protests sprung up all over the world and have done so with the depth and strength to be continuing. It's as if a revolution got underway BEFORE the news media had a clue. The latter still hasn't caught up. Why would CORPORATE television want to? It doesn't serve their sponsors.
@wrwih if you REALLY want to go back to the roots of rap, this is it right here. It was Gil scott heron and THEN Sugar hill gang. research your music before commenting thinking you're smart

political rap was born with Gil Scott-Heron and there are so few people carrying his legacy on. Hip hop has become a much stronger opiate for the masses than even Marx thought religion was. The Media is killing our culture, our people our future. People are too dumb to know it watching Fox News and listening to Soulja Boy. We need a revolution and indeed brothers IT WILL NOT BE TELEVISED!!! Solidarity no matter what your race is this is not a question of black and white. We are the 99%

If you think the advertisement played is not random, your revolution has already been televised. If you think that you're "awake" because you saw an advertisement here and didn't like it, your revolution has already been televised. If you think an ad on this video is ironic, your revolution has already been televised. If you can't define the word commodity, and don't understand why you're likely one already, your revolution is on reruns.

How dumb to place an advertisement with a naked white women before this video. Do they not realize that we are on to them.
51 people were probably brainwashed by the ad... the rest of us heard the message in the audio!
Black Power!

though not televised, they still found a way to censor it with bullshit media that brainwash you into being what the TV believes that keep the mind preoccupied with other stuff that does not let you see that there should be or even think about a revolution

Homeland Security Dept. ordered the shutdown of OWS camps. They have authority over mayors in instances of "national security." What are they securing? The right of the rich to buy politicians and rob us blind. The revolution will not be televised. The cops beat the reporters who try and the rest report on more pleasant things.

Of course you don't or you wouldn't have asked. Turn on the radio and listen to whatever generic bullshit you most likely thrive off of. "All he does is, like, talk or something? Ugh." Fuck off.
duckydeeznutz 3 months ago
@duckydeeznutz Actually, I like Baroque and Romanticist music. I like Mr Scott-Heron (God rest his soul), but this song really doesn't suit my tastes. I believe that a man should have the freedom to both speak his approval and disapproval of a song without being harassed, thank you.

"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." - Thomas Jefferson.
This quote sums up why today's government does not prioritize education and why corporate controlled mainstream media will not televise the revolution. Because it is easier to control and strip the rights of an entire nation of idiots than an informed, intelligent one.

We need to chant this on Occupy wall Street- the revolution will not be televised. It just needs to be said in a way that reflects our present realities. Jill Scot Heron, RIP. You were so darn right, Our Revolution Will Not be Televised! At least for now. and even CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, will be left with no choice but to televise.

What's up is that, virtually overnight, "Occupy" protests sprung up all over the world and have done so with the depth and strength to be continuing. It's as if a revolution got underway BEFORE the news media had a clue. The latter still hasn't caught up. Why would CORPORATE television want to? It doesn't serve their sponsors.

...but no word on the Revolution. The truth has been missing for some time now.
Our fore-fathers did not sit waiting for their rights to first be taken away before standing up to the walls of Tyranny.
Sadly, there will be no Revolution.
