  • I used to sing to politicians, then an arrow occupied my knee.

  • Makana = COURAGE and Great Magic! ~*~

  • 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.

  • Brave and Inspiring :)

  • Brilliant! Well done Makana "The important question is 'Why wouldn't I have done it?'"

  • I think it's awesome that it was actually Obama who invited Makana to perform, I only hope Barry HEARD the song!

  • 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 ....

  • they target us with negative subliminal messaging all the time. its time for the tables to turn.

  • VERY amazing !! this is exaCTLY what needs to happen !!!!!!

  • I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU!

  • " If I am in trouble for singing... we have alot of problems" hahahaha :) awesome good on you Makana !!!! i honestly cheered watching your video :)

  • 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.

    HERO.

  • @piewackett1 I agree, HERO. ...and if the FBI looks into some of his other music and songs they will say "Damn he plays a mean guitar"

  • it is a stunt and self promote what a jerk

  • they did not even pay attention to what he sing

  • 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.

  • bravo young man - the pundent is a goofball

  • yawn

  • MY SOUL IS APPLAUDING YOU! WHAT A DECLARATION OF GREATNESS ABOUT WHO WE CAN ALL CHOOSE TO BE.

    BRAVO!

    MUCH MAHALO,

    TERRY B. BEAR

  • Gee, this "surprise" wasn't staged at all....

  • The audience no doubt glanced at the moron guitarist and thought., "discount entertainment" and "why the same meaningless verses over and over?"

  • @imN0Ttheone A comment from the 1%, no doubt.

  • @ScarceMedia A comment from a Canadian immigrant no doubt .

  • @imN0Ttheone Typical comment from a low-rent enabler of the 1% who'll work against his own interests for nothing...

  • @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.

  • @mharpen

    Moar bawwling? Are you hitting all the Makana videos? GTFO

  • theplaniscancer. we meet again. the real story will come out, wether you like it or not, sucker!

    His exposure as a rich 1%er, moonlighting as a flower child will come to light and make national news.

  • @kahokulea

    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?

  • I dont understand your debate. It is self promotion, AND it is a STUNT w/ the help of a PR firm!!

    Makana is rich, even by Hawai'i standards.

  • @kahokulea

    duh, thank you Captain Obvious, of course it was a "stunt" to get attention for the occupy movement - and it worked great! that's kind of the point.

    so what if he's rich. you can still be rich and recognize that others deserve the same opportunities you were given.

    whats your major malfunction dude? why are you trolling every video of this guy? why act like such a jealous bitch? just lay off him.

  • Magic time videos, you sound very credible and upstanding. definitly does not sound like a free porn site.

    ...your opinion does matter. Speak friend......

    ....wait does that mean you have been trolling me......your really weird man.

    I

  • @theplaniscancer watch your mouth. remember, free speech

  • @mharpen

    Lying is free speech?  K thanx for the tip!

  • @mharpen I don't think you know what a "slap in the face" is.The president and world "leaders" are not the only ones who can make the world better.

  • @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?

  • @woodsprout There is no revolution asshole . Now go get a job .

  • @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".

  • @woodsprout If you have a degree the unemployment rate is only 4 % . Most the people with out jobs are unskilled and stupid much like you .

  • @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.)

  • @woodsprout It's Westboro Baptist Church you idiot , no wonder you're unemployed . loser.

  • @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

  • @Gunzzzer Scott Olson was kicked out the military

    He founded a site called "ihatethemarines" WHILE serving. He is no hero

  • @2002lees Anyone who says screw you to the military-industrial complex and the 1% who own the Empire is a hero!

  • @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.

  • Holy Shit !!!! Brilliant, yet SCARY !!!

  • The time delay really gave gravity to his last words: "we have major problems."
