Is Corporate Music Making Us More Compliant? Sat Sep 07, 2024 11:00 | James Alexander
Is corporate music making us more compliant? In the 1960s, the music led to the money, says James Alexander. Since then, the money has been making the music to the same four chords, and it's all been downhill.

hancellor Gordon Brown has backed Bob Geldof's call for a million protesters to descend on Edinburgh to campaign against poverty during the G8 summit.
Police chiefs have voiced fears over the scale of the march but Mr Brown said he supported a peaceful parade.
He said: "People have a right to make a peaceful protest and that is something people should be able to do."

he UK's plan to write off debts owed by African nations is facing opposition in the US - and particularly from President George W Bush.
Mr Bush said a key part of the plan did not fit with the US budget process.
Mr Bush's stance sets up a possible clash with UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, due in Washington next week.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4606197.stm
**********************EXTRA THING-
the G8 this year is about standing upto the U$A.
Its not about Geldof, that's stuff your mammy and local scot garda can handle, and it will make them less keen on battering the hell out of people.
But for the first time, ever ever, in the last year the potential to cancel debt is there, its not the complete answer, its not the door out of babalon,
but its making things clearer, and the current sitaution with the €U is important for that.
We are as a generation calling for an end to poverty, within and without the U$A and €U and we have been doing so since G8 Genoa, Seattle, and all of it. & now we are getting small responses from Brown in the UK and also France, remember the airline tax suggestion of chirac, and ryanairs refusal to implement it.
And we will not allow the creation of an economic superstate to serve the g8.
It ought now be obvious that the core of Europe, those people who built and have inspired the project have also rejected the haste with which the leadership of neo-liberalism pushed the envelope and ignored the aim at heart-
peace and an end to poverty.
And it is us, those who bring years and years of gaming experience to this years G8 who have best honoured the european project.
A workers' europe, a peoples' europe a europe of regions and nations may assist Africa and South America and Asia, a neo-liberal capitalist €U can not.
Alan Greenspan is currently in his fifth term as man incharge of the Federal Reserve of the USA.
The Federal Reserve "lends" money to the US Federal Government and issues the dollar, unlike the systems in other countries like our great Europe where a Central Bank issues most of the notes or the Crown Banks issues others.
The Federal Reserve thus dictates the value of "money" globally as Federal Reserve dollars are accepted currency for anything from buying Smack to Coke to Arms to Children in most countries of the world.
Mr Greenspan is upset with China coz the Chinese won't revalue their peg to the Federal Reserve Dollar coz that would make life easier for the USA.
Mr Greenspan is upset with Europe coz our currency is knocking the shit out of his.
Mr Greenspan is upset with the Japanese coz they've mysteriously invented negative interest rates which fuck up Californian banks.
Mr Greenspan is upset with the British coz they've plummy accents and can read ancient languages and have a habit of pulling tricks on you, but unfortuantely Mr Greenspan and Co. can't remember how that works.
BASTA MR GREENSPAN
DINERO GRATIS MR GREENSPAN
WE'RE GONNA GIVE YE....
THE GOLD FINGER!!!!
Greenspan of Fort Knox = the reason the world is poor?
Basically the proposals of HMG Brown to use global capital funds to raise 50,000,000,000 a year to ensure the end of global poverty have been rejected by
Alan Greenspan on behalf of the USA on the grounds that the US budget can not accomodate them.
Let's put this very simply, coz your corporate media won't.
Europe and Japan and Russia oppose the USA.
why?
Because Billions of people worldwide are going to continue living in desolate poverty because the number 1 polluter, the number 1 stockpiler of WMD, the number 1 producer of pornography and weapons, the number 1 prison state, the number 1 liar "can't afford" to tighten its belt and go through austerity.
Meanwhile Little Miss Condolence Rice has warned Russia that it will have to get tough on transnational crime if it is to continue getting favourable cameo appearances in Hollywood movies or the hope of an invite on a space shuttle.
the jargon crap-
"Finance ministers from the Group of Seven industrial nations said Saturday they were willing to provide up to 100 percent debt relief to the world's poorest nations, but insisted that developing countries ensure the money would be spent wisely."
"the IMF will examine the possibility of using Gold reserves in April to fund debt relief."
If you have any hidden reserves of Gold this might be the time to consult your bank on how to convince the USA to accept its long overdue austerity.

Meanwhile the IMF have cleared 1,000,000,000$ the man in charge over there is Rodrigo Rato, who served previously under Mr Aznar in the Spanish gov.
Señor Rato has said the billion can be cleared from the "emergency aid for natural disasters fund" which the IMF has for extra special occassion when "natural disasters" need "emergency funds" in the third world which is an "economic and imperialist disaster area" 7 days a week. Things have to get very very bad for the IMF to think they're worthy of "emergency" status.
he said freeze not cancel?
but will he keep his word
