I really believe that Twin Towers were intelligently demolished and the official version is government propaganda. If you think carefully, an airplane impact could only damage the building structure upwards, maybe some floors beneath, but never make the whole building accurately collapse as it did from top to the bottom. Of course, the majority of americans would eat what his government is giving them, without considering, so if the government says arabs, it's arabs. USA is the country on its own, quite far from the arabs as well as alternative opinions. Very few people would actually say "Hang on, the story looks well too prepared to be true". Anyway, americans are not the first victims of propaganda in this world. Did you actually wonder, how people could not only stand, but also praise Stalin's or Hitler's tyranny during 30s and 40s, while millions of people were sentenced to death? State propaganda has always had very strong power and influence on the population. US government calculated things very well: if the majority catches the official opinion, those who oppose, won't go far, remain unconsidered or, even worse, prosecuted for supporting terrorism. Nothing new in this world, just open an average world history textbook. The official version is somehow very comfortable for the US government, opening all the doors around the globe and freeing their hands to do whatever they want for the sake of "fighting against terrorism". In the reality, "war against terrorism" is complete nonsense. Terrorism is abstract and is not bound to a region or a concrete country you can make war to. You destroy it here, it's going to appear there, you destroy it there, it's going to appear somewhere else. Moreover, destorying one country you make its population raise against you. I would not like to see tanks of some foreign country in my town, even if they come with a good mission. It could be more effective to look for eliminating the reasons of terrorism, if you really want to get rid of it.
Let me repeat, if you really want to get rid of it.
If US benefits from fighting against terrorism, it also might be interested to support terrorism in order to retain its benefits from fighting against it. I am not going to list all the benefits US government may have from this war - they are all well known. The only one thing I try to get to you is that to find someone resposible for something, whatever it is: war, terrorism - you only need to answer an old latin question : "Cui bono?".
God bless you folks, thanx very very much for your appreciation I received on the blogs at Musicnation and VOX, I am very thrilled that you liked our anti-war music!!! As a part of our small tour, I have put for you a live version of "Democracy Tanks" performed at Garage in Saarbruecken (Germany) August this year.It's here.
We are proud to announce that some tracks from the album "Democracy Tanks" including the main song "Democracy Tanks", "Groovy Bush Mix" and "My Honey Is Not A Man" are played by US digital station USA4Real and UK XFM Radio in its "Unsigned" section. It is good to know that some media is contributing towards the music and ati-war movement.
I guess Led Zep is one of those bands that is strongly associated with an old good vinyl rock n' roll format. It's the whole tradition about it: when you open the disc envelope, see the cool band pics and lyrics, take the disc out, put it on, listen. I can't imagine myself downloading it or even buying a CD. It's like a CD of Elvis. It's as unnatural as a non-alcoholic beer or decaffeinated coffee. Led Zep was first released in vinyl, first fans got it in vinyl, they made rock n' roll history in vinyl. So it has to stay vinyl IMHO.
The long-anticipated Gravitator's CD "Democracy Tanks" is out now! It includes 11 songs and is related to current war in Iraq and US politics. Available now at I-Tunes and Indiestore
Recently I was going through my room bulldozing all the old stuff and found old good 80s dual casette deck. And one question came to my mind. I remember how we were actually copying music from each other's tapes and vinyl without fear of being sued by RIAA. And nobody was complaining about revenue losses, copyright violation, etc. Albums were sold anyway, despite copying. So why does mp3 copying make RIAA and majors so nervous??
The long-awaited "Democracy Tanks" album is finally out! It includes 11 songs and is related to current war in Iraq and US politics, for example, the heavy industrial song "Conspiracy" is about conspiracy theory of 9/11 being well orchestrated by US government (seen the movie "Loose Change" already?). The electronic-pop "My Honey Is Not A Man" is about gay trend, the fact that it has become a fashion to be gay, so lots of people are just following the trend. Also being a gay sells you better as an artist. The songs are ranging for rather heavy and eclectic to 80s electronic pop rhythms. It will be very soon available at iTunes & C=, so far it can be purchased @Nimbit by following the player on the left hand side of this page.
