Playing for Change: "Stand by Me"

Wow! No matter what's going on with you right now, this five minute clip is guaranteed to lift your spirits and make them soar. In the spirit of "Where the hell is Matt?" we travel the world as one musician after another adds their part to the great blues classic Stand By Me.

Nearly two and a half million people have watched this clip on You Tube, and in the space of two hours the counter jumped up another 17,000 views today. Clearly I'm not the only one moved and inspired by the passion of these little known musicians.*

Why are they so compelling?

We live in a world increasingly dominated by heartless corporations that understand only power. They worship money, and the most superficial kind of sex appeal, and encourage us to do the same.

This materialistic emphasis hurts all of us, whether we be rich or poor, ugly or beautiful. For the rich know that their money might not always be there (just ask Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet) and beauty fades (ask Elizabeth Taylor.) Deep inside we long to be loved for more than surface attributes that can change from year to year, we want to be valued for our essence.

This video of musicians around the world singing Stand By Me gives a big middle finger to the corporate values of greed and superficial perfection--with foot-tapping joyous music.  The song, from the Rob Reiner movie of the same name, tells of the matchless power of love. 

Irish musician Jim Corr speaks out about 9/11 Truth

Jim Corr of the Irish band the Corrs gave an eloquent 10 minute interview back in June about the New World Order, 9/11 and the plan for a global dictatorship. He does a great job of explaining it to his apparently completely naive host. Thank you Jim for speaking out.

Jim has a website, here is an excerpt from his homepage:

The light at the end of the tunnel is that millions upon millions of people are waking up to this unfolding Orwellian nightmarish agenda which I have spoken about on radio, and which will be averted as soon as we collectively wake up! 



The unfortunate reality is that the mainstream media is failing the people in crucial areas. In order for us to get closer to the full truth, we need to circumvent it, because it's controlled and indeed mostly owned by a handful of elite multi-national corporations controlled by the global elite that have a vested interest in keeping the full truth from us lest we awaken to the real agenda that's being played out behind the scenes. Am I saying that Irish national television and radio for example could be lying to the people all the time? Of course not. But they are most likely getting their international news from the likes of either Reuters or the Associated Press which are controlled news agencies. This realisation by a lot of people goes some way toward explaining the dramatic rise in alternative media where more and more of us are now getting our news from sources we feel we can trust better, particularly on the internet.

You will meet people as I do occasionaly who are unable to grasp the reality of what's really going on. You may even meet them amongst family and friends but don't get frustrated, It is understandably inconceivable for some people the contemplation that some governments at the behest of their globalist puppeteers could be staging terrorist attacks against their own populations, particularly for people who's reality doesn't extend beyond the Television set which is being used highly effectively as a Weapon of Mass Deception.

Listen to "Lies" by west Australian trio The Waifs

I love this song! Beautiful music and important message. I've loaded the audio at the bottom of this post, so get up and dance!  The truth is painful, yes, but it is also briskly exhilarating in way their carefully measured propaganda can never be. 

You read the paper, watch the news and think 
You're well informed 
I’ve got some news for you my friend 
That headline that you read, the story that broke 
Was a scandal and a scam, a political masterstroke 
They tell you what they want you to hear 
So close your eyes and open your ears 

It’s easier that way when you don’t have to 
Think for yourself you say 
I tell you no lies 
I read it all in black and white 
It was on my TV – they were telling me just what to believe 
I tell you no lies – all the while they’re tellin you lies 



Everyday you and me, we see what we are shown 
It’s hard to scratch below 
The people at the top, are hidden far from view 
They’re not goin to show their faces 
To the likes of me and you 
You never see them on the street 
Always see the things that they do 

They know they can get away and no price is too 
High for them to pay 

I tell you no lies. 
It’s very simple it’s in black and white 
It’s on your TV – we got every thing you need to believe 
I tell you no lies – and all the while they are telling you lies

This video is pure, silly joy

"9/11's a Lie" to the tune of "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees

This is priceless!  Sounds just like the Bee Gees, but with new lyrics.  Not to be missed.

Well, you can tell by the way the buildings fell
There was something wrong
Now it's time to tell
Spread the word, it's nothing new,
You've got to educate yourself in Truth
Well it's not alright, it's not okay
For you to look the other way
We can help
You understand
The New York Times effect on man
Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother
9/11's a lie
9/11's a lie
Neo-cons are shaking, the world has started waking
9/11's a lie
9/11's a lie

Well we can't give in and we can't let go
We wanna see some justice flow
It's time for us to make a stand
And together we can end this plan....

Just watch it. You'll love it, particularly if you're old enough to remember the 70s.
