Apple Roof Cleaning 202 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 Several bands had hidden and overt political messages in their songs. Many TRIED to warn us about Big Government, and what was to come. Here is the band Spirit back in 1970 doing their song "1984" in honor to George Orwells book "A Brave New World". Orwell predicted that by 1984 the Government would have "thought police" monitoring our minds. Listen to our Western Brothers from Los Angeles, as they TRY to warn us of what is to come, WAY back in 1970 !

0 Apple Roof Cleaning 202 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 Here is another one, my GOD it's Steppenwolf singing their song "Monster" The recording is old, but the WORDS are important. Here is the video link Video: Steppenwolf - Monster Here are the words. Words and music by John Kay, Jerry Edmonton, Nick St. Nicholas and Larry Byrom (Monster) Once the religious, the hunted and weary Chasing the promise of freedom and hope Came to this country to build a new vision Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope Like good Christians, some would burn the witches Later some got slaves to gather riches But still from near and far to seek America They came by thousands to court the wild And she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding light And once the ties with the crown had been broken Westward in saddle and wagon it went And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean Many the lives which had come to an end While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland We began the slaughter of the red man But still from near and far to seek America They came by thousands to court the wild And she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding light The blue and grey they stomped it They kicked it just like a dog And when the war over They stuffed it just like a hog And though the past has it's share of injustice Kind was the spirit in many a way But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping Now it's a monster and will not obey <A name=SUIDE>(Suicide) The spirit was freedom and justice And it's keepers seem generous and kind It's leaders were supposed to serve the country But now they won't pay it no mind 'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy And now their vote is a meaningless joke They babble about law and order But it's all just an echo of what they've been told Yeah, there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into a noose And it just sits there watchin' Our cities have turned into jungles And corruption is stranglin' the land The police force is watching the people And the people just can't understand We don't know how to mind our own business 'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us Now we are fighting a war over there No matter who's the winner We can't pay the cost 'Cause there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into a noose And it just sits there watching America where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now We can't fight alone against the monster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Apple Roof Cleaning 202 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 and Nostradamus predicted 911why weren't you listening? Hey Chaz, for some reason Nostradumus has escaped me. I have heard he predicted 911, but then I also subscribe to the Skeptical Inquirer Magazine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Deck Guy 14 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 It's funny how people say Nostradamus predicted certain events, but always after they have occured. That's not much of a prediction. What good is a prophesy that can only be decoded following the event it predicts? Let's see someone decipher his rants and truly PREDICT some major event by actually foretelling it in time to avoid it. Now THAT would be something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bigchaz 157 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 haha yea i was being sarcastic. They always look through the predictions afterward and find some referance to 911 if you read the page upside down backwards and translate it to chinese, french and back to english.

0 Apple Roof Cleaning 202 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 Yeah, like the "Bible Code" hoax, LOL I subscribe to the Skeptical Inquirer magazine. Skeptical Inquirer magazine They took a Mark Twain Novel and read it into a computer. It "predicted" all kinds of stuff, LOL There is NO such thing as ESP. The Smithsonian Institution has a standing offer of a Million Dollars for anyone who can demonstrate ESP under scientific conditions. No one has ever claimed the prize.
