Stopping Trump With Just One Meme...Not!


Time to learn a new phrase, kids! It's called...

The Extractor Class

The Extractor Class - #XtractorClass
You don't need to uncover layer after layer of deep, conspiracy-laden, historical documents to find out who is controlling the world...you just need to follow the money.

The Extractor Class is not some dark secret society or hidden group running the world from an underground facility or a secure room.
It's a very OBVIOUS, public group
stealing all your sh*t.

The Extractor Class steals resources from vulnerable countries through militarism. They run an on-going con called Wall Street. They take the peoples' commons and sell it back to us. Or, they privatize tech that was developed by public taxes and...again, sell it back to us.

The #XtractorClass is a "toll-booth" society.

If you want to stop them it will require a
#globalsolidarity movement.

The Tide (A Folk/Protest Song) by Sharee Anne Gorman

 The Tide  
(rough mix...not mastered)
 
I spent the day at Moose-Creek-Recording-Studio yesterday
to get my folk/protest song "The Tide"
set to music.
 
It's been many years since I have sung into a professional mic capable of picking up every last tremble and waver of my voice...and the terror is pretty apparent in my voice:) 
 
I may not have the chops for professional level recording, but I'm glad I did it because I wanted to hear what the song sounded like with accompaniment.
 
I chose a very stripped-down instrumental because I wanted the music to be as stark as the working conditions and lives of the miners and tireless labor activists who placed themselves in harm's way to get fair and safe working conditions for exploited laborers. 
 
Kevin at Moose Creek Recording was very patient and did what he could to digitally smooth out my nerves. I'll have to work on my fear in order to push through to the quality of my relaxed voice...but it's a start.
 
Moose Creek provides a very relaxed atmosphere, with a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art set-up. The owner, Kevin, is a patient and professional musician/technician. He takes you step-by-step through pre-recording practice to sound-booth recording and sound-board mixing, so that you have input and can make adjustments throughout every step of the song recording process.  
  
Kevin Deily, the owner of Moose Creek Recording Studio, also plays bass on this track.
Thank you, Kevin!

The Tide - Protest Song About Jobs, Civil Rights and...Justice For All!!


Much has been said in the media recently about, "The Arab Spring". I have been following events in North Africa and the Middle-East with much hope, concern and some horror at the price brave citizens have had to pay in order to address the unendurable realities of oppression.

I have watched in awe as wave after wave of citizens took to the streets, armed only with determination and courage in the face of great odds. Citizens fresh from prayers, and with much to lose. Understandably, I find myself muttering under my breath, "God, please hear them. Please keep them safe."

But SHOTS ring out anyway.

I pace my apartment trying to press the images from my eyes, but know that I can't because that would be to ignore the sacrifice I just witnessed. A sacrifice caught on film and offered to the world as witness to an endless struggle. The struggle to make "The Rich" understand that power, control and oppression - through military or economic means, has its consequences.

Citizens are rising up around the globe taking on issues such as corporate maleficence, market fraud, living wages, workers' rights, gender equality and the right to live in a free and open society.

And I think:

"We're so close. We're so close to all of us coming together...to all of us being on the same page...to lifting our voices as One as we realize that, "Hey, we're all in this together."

So, I wrote a song called..."The Tide".

It is a protest song. A song of peaceful revolution and empowerment. A song about the growing global movement of citizen awareness and an emerging solidarity. A song that I hope will, in some small way, help to grow "The Arab Spring" into a "Global Tide".
