He is correct about if they have a problem with his singing, we have problems. How about the federal regulation over salt there is only 5 more days thinking Tuesday to tell your government , Hands off our salt.
If the DISTURBING mainstream music industry was into promoting REAL MUSIC consisting of CREATIVITY & ORIGINAL TALENT and not psychotic oversexualized CRAP to dumb-down the masses this musician along with others like LOWKEY & Immortal Technique would be on the top of the charts!
Are you still mumbling? Are you talking about yourself? There is still time in life to change. Your nitpicking of my spelling, while misspelling yourself is unimpressive.
I used to be brainwashed into believing that being pro-corporation was the same as being pro-capitalism; nothing could be further from the truth! Under capitalism when you make bad decisions and take risks that don't work out, you fail! What we've witnessed is a far cry from capitalism. These bankers at Goldman Sachs and the like are a bunch of leeches. They are sucking the life out of the taxpayer and honest, hardworking folks. It's time to take back this country from these bottom feeders.
I love this.He rocks my world !!! He is my favorite occupier and has incredibly large kahoonas !!!!!!!!!!! What a beautiful way to express to the people who need to hear how the 99% feel ! Kudos for creativity ....
Young man your voice was a billion voices all around the world,For this your on my hero list, I know im just a old man but these murdering elite war mongers and bankers AKA makes money on every war fought,And stripping our rights away like were slaves now,Well ty for standing there what courage you've shown,We wont forget you, just like we wont forget this government for what they have done,
It is NOT EASY to stand up in front of the president of the USA and 19 other world leaders and sing a protest song. He is now on the FBI list, and every other list there is, forever.
lol @ asking him if he's "in trouble". he basically sounds like: OH NO MAKANA DID THE BIG BAD PRESIDENT GIVE YOU A TIME OUT??? our we really that scared of our own kind that we cant play a song expressing our own opinions without fear of punishment?
Its a FAKE PROTEST!!! He is a FAKE!!! He is not Hawaiian. He changed his name to Makana to sound Hawaiian....Branding and Marketing. His real name is Matthew Swalinkavich. He is actually very rich and lives in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the State of Hawai'i. He is the1%. Its all a publicity stunt to gain exposure to sell his music. I hope someone pics up this news story because the irony is hilarious.
This is the day Washington has to destroy all their own dangerous nuclear weapons first. Washington also has to immediately destroy all nuclear weapons of Israel.
Rock on Brother! It's about time that someone starting singing to Obama!!! People forget - this is the guy who gave $800,000,000,000.00 of our tax dollars to the 99%! Occupy with Aloha in 2012!!!!
@imN0Ttheone I AGREE with you. Although i used to be a fan, i think he's just a young musician with no respect for even the president when called upon to do a simple job. For all those who worked and fought over decades to get to a point where nations can come together like this and work towards a better world, he slapped them in the face.
But you said in the other comments that he was doing this for self promotion. Then you admitted that it was part of a stunt by an activist PR firm, exactly like how adbuster started OWS, and NOT for self promotion. So you LIED bro. Why?
@imN0Ttheone You are not the one ... who will be part of any important revolution, unless you change. What is with your problem with the t-shirt message? Can you read it?
@imN0Ttheone I have a job. ....& if you think you're going to make people feel guilty during a recession saying- "go get a job" (which reveals your simple minded ignorance on these issues) while the ~Wall St. casino~ continues, you are sadly mistaken.
Get a thinking mind. ...instead of kissing big banks & corporations asses.
This isn't against banks & corporations, it IS against ABUSIVE banks & corporations
Think critically & define, then you won't say idiot things like "get a job".
@imN0Ttheone ~~~ Re: His T-shirt. ~~~ I have been a professional sign painter during my lifetime. I DID come to the maturity to realize that a common person's unskilled hand lettering is STILL A MESSAGE. ...Whether it is a hand painted business sign, or a T-Shirt, or protest sign.
Can you read it ? ~AND~ Are you still immature? ...are the real questions here.
(Example: Westborough Baptist Church has professionally made signs & they are the 99% undisputed assholes of the planet.)
@imN0Ttheone ~~~You sure jumped down my throat about how I spelled "Westboro" ! Your immaturity explains that. ...and I couldn't give a crap how they spell "Westboro"
...or about your strange and cranky nitpicking.
Sign painting was my trade, I went to school late in life and earned my degrees and am employed in toxicology research, and woodworking is my hobby. ...and I AM one of the 99%
@woodsprout If you're going to try to make an analogy at lest spell it correctly you nitwit . Colecting a welfare cheque for sitting on the couch and farting all day does not mean you are doing toxicology research .
one of the heroes of the movement along with scott olsen and so many other who are standing up for basic rights and fighting for real change---MAHALO and Aloha to you Makana
@2002lees You mean that website that was registered in Illinois while the residential address of the Scott Olsen who was shot in the head by gas canister is in Wisconsin? That same webpage that only exist as an archived site and didn't have a single working link on it's page? Also, Scott Olsen received an "Administrative Discharge" which is actually a vague description since it includes Honorable, General, or OTH. No further confirmed detail of how he left the military has came out yet.
