Unconventional Activism...

in #music7 years ago

This is a video I made, for a song I wrote, towards a cause which I feel a need to artsplain because the problems haven't gone away... Jeez, where do I start? How far back should I go, to properly emphasize a need for both raised awareness, as well as new and genius ways to undermine the bullshit monopoly we live under...

Okay, Monsanto is bad... They made mustard gas during WWI, agent orange for the Vietnam War, rBGH, PCBs, Round-Up, and GMOs... I'll let you decide on how poisonous they are, for your OWN meals... But I take serious issue with anything jammed down our throats, or things that hide behind stupid legal definitions which hold no bearing on reality...

Monsanto also represents the tip of the iceberg of a number of other biotech corporations, such as Syngenta, Bayer Crop Science, AquaBounty, and the ones who go by the name of their patented food-like product... Again, I should let you research HOW toxic and alien these are, but for the sake of this post, bear with me... They collude with the FDA to hide the real statistics and lab studies, and also lobby congress to pass protective legislation which prevents anyone from suing them...

I just wanted to share this video, Casket Jones... It is a musical parody of The Grateful Dead, part of a project of parodies I did, under the name Food Banksy... The reason I made it is because I saw a glaring need for backdoor media, or propaganda that undermines the establishment... I don't have much faith in writing letters to my senator, LOL!

This video takes on GeoEngineering, the global elite (or NWO) and is packed with visual memes which I created while living in Cambodia... Because of the nature of the music, 'borrowed' is a polite term, radio stations wouldn't touch it... A few marches against Monsanto played it to get the folks ready to protest, but it remains unheard by the masses... I was even apprehensive to upload it to YouTube, with their copyright nazis... I have never really been into monetizing, mostly just trying to help save our planet...

There is a facebook page for Food Banksy: https://www.facebook.com/FoodBanksy/
It has a few videos, and several album cover memes, like this one...

In closing, I am not so much saying, "Look at me!" I am saying, "Look at the problem! Look at new ways to address it!" My own personal success lies not in having enough fake currency to afford a fake life, it involves seeing the world transform into a place that is home for EVERYONE! Also, becoming the kind of person who could HANDLE living in that world...

I encourage you to find unthought of ways to fix this planet...

And I DARE you to be funny while doing so!
