Zeitgeist:Addendum - Brainwash for Profit
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008I am currently watching Zeitgeist: Addendum. For those of you who don’t know, this is the sequel to the film Zeitgeist, both of which are about the control of society by major, multinational organizations, from religious institutions to corporations - most of them American.
According to the logic outlined by this film, it matters not who you vote for in November. The country and world are controlled by corporations and other institutions. Clearly, McCain and the Lipstick Pig will only accellerate the downward spiral into greed-based globalization. Obama, whether part of this tyrannical system or not, will either bend at the will of these organizations or be taken out by groups supported and cultivated by them.
Excerpt from Brainwash for Profit by The Capitalist Hippie Complex:
Corporate America, the land of corruption,
Of forest destruction, of HUMMER combustion,
All about the dollar, not the town’s you’re crushin,
Never ’bout the nuclear waste your dumpin’,
Gotta beat the Germans, the Japs and Russians,
Gotta be the best, no interruptions
We live in the land of the NOTHING IS FREE
You and me? Controlled by fear and TV
They gotta do research and see
How to make us brainwashed by three
From products made by GE, to the propagods at Disney…

Work is lame today because…

We just got paid Tuesday, which means we will not get paid again for 2 weeks.

Today music is the shit but iTunes is a son of a bitch because…
- Seemingly, their threat to shut down if the Copyright Royalty Board raised royalties for songwriters and publishers worked, and so we continue to make pretty much nothing from our music.
- Thanks, iTunes! At least one of us can stay in the music business.
