A Peaceful Solution Jacques Mees
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Jacques Mees from the Netherlands lends his voice in the International effort to promote “A Peaceful Solution” globally.
Jacques Mees starts his version of “A Peaceful Solution” by letting us know his is a voice from Europe. Then Jacques Mees continues to sing “A Peaceful Solution” straight from his heart.
His haunting dark voice and trace of accent on his excellent English creates a special aura around this video. It’s as if we are visited by a gentle and kind spirit that respectfully asks us to thoughtfully consider what we are doing as a nation.
Do not forget it was the United States of America that invited the rest of the world to watch it perform on the world stage. It was the United States of America that deemed it within its authority to take on what it perceived as the world’s problems.
What were these problems?
It has become difficult to see these problems as anything besides the reluctance of other people in other countries to adopt a lifestyle intended to enrich a handful of multinational corporations.
These multinational corporations have used their tremendous wealth and power to bend the military capacity of the United Stated of America to do their bidding. In this case their bidding includes forcing the multinational corporate agenda upon the world at gun point.
To secure the multinational corporate influence over the United States military power We The People of the United States of America have witnessed our political process subverted to detriment of We The People of the United States of America.
The more We The People of the United States of America question what has become of our country the more we have witnessed an erosion of the basic rights and protections that made the United States of America a great country in the first place.
Jacques Mees can see all of this happening from outside the United States.
This distresses the gentle troubadour from Europe enough that Jacques Mees felt compelled to sing “A Peaceful Solution” to an English speaking audience. Make no mistake, “A Peaceful Solution” has always been addressed to an English speaking audience.
Perhaps it has become hard to see all of this happening from inside the United States. But this type of near field blindness cannot serve an adequate excuse.
We The People of the United States have permitted atrocities to be committed in our name.
And the whole world knows it.
We The People of the United States have permitted our national elections to be conducted under questionable circumstances.
And the whole world knows it.
We The People of the United States have permitted our national resources and its own blood to be squandered away on the private accumulation of power and personal wealth.
And the whole world knows it.
We The People of the United States have permitted our basic rights, the foundation of our Constitutional government, become undermined and virtually useless.
And the whole world knows it.
The only question remaining asks if We The People of the United States will stand up and Take Back America or let its place in history become that of an unrepentant bully that ultimately destroyed itself.

When I was a young kid I was infected with American voices from people that knew where they stood for. People like Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams and later Bob Dylan and of course the Woodstock things like Richie Havens and Crosby Stills and Nash.
Later I started to write my own songs but I still love to play all that fantastic songs.
Even when I play at a party I do Anti-War-Songs to let the people know while they’re having fun, somewhere in this world, others get killed by weapons.
THEY MUST KNOW IT…
We already reached a lot with music, I know. We brought millions of people together with it.
If we all can make Willie’s Peace Project so big, than our voices must be heard.
Let it be a WORLDWIDE FOLKSONG
Love & Peace,
Jacques Mees
