Gil Scott-Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (Full Band Version)

A personal tribute I made to the great Beat Musician Gil-Scott Heron.

No need to post about the Julia reference. I understand it now, thanks to those who told me. :)

It don't matter if we are black or white, we are ALL getting screwed...

[Trace254]

In an interview Scott-Heron said of the song "That song was about your mind. You have to change your mind before you change the way you live and the way you move...The thing that's going to change people will be something that no one will ever be able to capture on film. It will just be something you see and all of a sudden you realize 'I'm on the wrong page."

To 420Guitar420: Ethos and Freedom to Fascism are in my Queue on Netflix. Zeitgeist was great. If you liked those, you NEED to watch Collapse; it is currently streaming on Netflix, if you have it, and should NOT be missed.

[420Guitar420]

I've seen just about all of them. I would recommend to all Americans, all human beings:

Ethos the Movie

Freedom to Fascism

Zeitgeist: The Movie

In my opinion those are the most well made, articulated, logical, and researched documentaries on the reality of the system we live in. There are many books I have read on the subject.

I recommend these 3:

War is A Racket by Smedley Butler

Confessions of An Economic Hitman by John Perkins

The Secret History of the American Empire by John Perkins

Have you watched any of the documentaries about 9/11? I'm NOT a conspiracy theorist at all, but I've seen four of them and they have totally changed my mind, especially the one made by the skyscraper engineers, demolition experts and victims of 9/11. Fucking frightening.

[pickle forbes]

The revolution will not come from "critical studies"....but a decent job in a good university will.

[S0N0fFred]

The revolution will not be summarized in 140 charaters

[naturesmeds]

guess you missed the reference to rare earth
