Mark Maysey does a masterful job of singing his version of “A Peaceful Solution” conveying a great deal of sympathy and sadness over our current state of affairs. The current state of affairs seems to be wearing on many people.

If You’re Not Outraged by Now, You’re REALLY Not Paying Attention.

This financial crisis is no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. It certainly is no surprise to those in power who engineered it.

Unlike the 9/11 destruction in New York, the perpetrators of this “financial 9/11” seem to be having a much harder time in avoiding the spotlight and shifting the guilt. The real test is not what Congress will do but how We The People Of The United States Of America will respond.

As tent cities spring up across The United States Of America those still with electricity and television can watch as the same millionaires who profited from our economic collapse receive millions more in their so-called bail out.

Peaceful protest appears to serve no productive end as we have seen those attempting to exercise their rights shuttled off to fenced in “Free Speech Zones” and then often physically abused by United States police forces and arbitrarily arrested.

Yes, this is happening in the United States of America.

Between the authorization to seize war protesters’ assets and The Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act the government has become even more aggressive in silencing any and all dissent.

Congress seems to have grown deaf, dumb and blind to the erosion of the rights recognized and supposedly guaranteed in the United States Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.

Now after 2 blatantly stolen presidential elections many who once held on to the faint hope of legislative recourse fade away and fall off the voter registration roles.

Mainstream media persists in ignoring essential stories.

I wonder about how far all of this will go before We The People stand up in mass peaceful refusal to go along with the madness.

I wonder about what will happen if all of this goes on past the point where peaceful protest, even in huge numbers, becomes obviously totally useless.

I suppose the essential question for me concerns when this tipping point is reached if indeed it has not been reached already. If these problems are not solved peacefully then I fear for the other solution that will inevitably manifest.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
John F. Kennedy, In a speech at the White House, 1962
35th president of US 1961-1963 (1917 – 1963)

Please check out these songs by Mark Maysey because he still seeks a peaceful revolution. I feel strongly that if we do not stand up and make a peaceful solution part of our lifestyles then soon we will find it too late.

When all We need is Love

* * * * * Artist’s Statement * * * * *

I’ve always dreamed of a world where one day we could all come together as one in a peaceful way,

a day when there was no more need for wars, threats or intimidations, a day when we all learn to resolve our differences through peaceful dialogue.

I believe these days are upon us and now we must nourish this peaceful solution every moment we can.

Peace and love to all my brothers and sisters out there and thank you so much for supporting this great change.
