And Medicine were closely connected going back to the first emperor different traditional instruments or even believed to resonate with different elements and in turn with different organs of the human body harmonious residence was believed to be part of good health and in other civilizations music was partly what United Empires
There are stories of ancient Sage Kings uniting tribes and into kingdoms using music the bardic songs can incite in its listeners happiness sadness love or hate evil lyrics can elicit desires for lust or even violence religious music can instill feelings of grandeur and reverence for the divine
It was held in the past that good music is a sign of a stable Empire and evil music can mark the end of a civilization and it’s for these reasons and many others that well it’s worth paying attention to what type of music people listen to it shows what resonates with
People it shows what they want and how they feel music can show you the heartbeat of a Nation and something very unique is happening with music in the United States right now several songs have recently gone viral in March former president Donald Trump reached the top of iTunes with a
Song justice for all with the j6 prison choir in May you might remember Forgiato blow is going viral with his song boycott Target more recently Jason Aldean became a national phenomena with his song try that in a small town and now it looks like a new song is
Resonating even more with the nation a man in Farmville Virginia posted a video he stands on the edge of a plot of land his audience is just his three dogs lay on the ground nearby he wears a simple T-shirt and pants and as he plays his
Guitar his face turns as red as his beard it captures something this raw emotion he sings of the stresses and the corruption of the modern world the loss of the world that we grew up in the way we watched it change into something unfamiliar high taxes low pay political
Actors getting rich while breaking Society the man is Oliver Anthony and he just started actually writing music a couple years ago his YouTube page is mostly videos of him playing songs recorded on his smartphone and his song rich men of North Richmond was his first that was relatively professionally set up
Just a day before it published he released a video sitting in his truck where he explained why he writes music watch and now I spent a lot of time on job sites and I meet people from all across the country and the universal thing I
See is that it’s like no matter how hard they push and and how much effort they put into whatever it is they’re doing they just can’t quite get ahead because the dollar is not worth enough it’s being overtaxed um people are just sick and tired of being sick and tired and um
So yeah I I want to be a voice for those people and not just them just humans in general and some of the struggles and the battles that they go through and then the song released and overnight Oliver Anthony became the biggest name in country music Love to play more of that let’s go on it seems like he actually wasn’t prepared for the reaction of the public his only contact is an email on his YouTube page we reached out to him actually he hasn’t done any big media interviews yet likely because his email
Is probably flooded he has one account there but he wrote this on Twitter he said I’m still in a State of Shock at the outpouring of love I’ve seen in the comments messages and emails I’m working to respond to everyone as quickly as possible but he did make a public appearance soon
After he was one of the performers at a free show at a local Farm Market little farm market kind of middle of nowhere and people flocked in like it was Woodstock there was bumper to bumper traffic some people even flew in to see him it was something really there was an
Incredible spectacle he signed autographs for four hours people sang along with him he had to pause several times while singing between the Applause and cheers of the crowd [Applause] foreign foreign YouTubers people on you know different streaming services they started posting reaction videos all across the internet many of these people are from people who don’t seem like they’d be particularly into country music again you know under most circumstances let’s say but the videos on these they focused a lot less
On the music genre much less on technical skill and a whole lot more on the past the passion and more importantly the message many were like rap artists others were gaming channels some were people who you know do shows on guitar lessons and many of these videos themselves racked up hundreds of
Thousands of views it seems like across the board people are moved by the message of this song and then the corporate media chimed in and what did they do well they painted all over Anthony and partisan politics divisiveness Seattle Times reported newly released country song rich men of North Richmond from unknown artists
Instantly becomes right-wing anthem the guardian claimed the song about hardships of The Working Man being crushed by high taxes and bad policy they focused on him saying they’re taxing one while giving free handouts through welfare they’re saying this is criticism of the needy and it declared this song quote punches
Down and then said it’s no surprise the right wing loves it variety they even rolled out the conspiracies they suggested that the instant success of the song has progressives wondering if if Oliver Anthony is a plant now a lot of the media focused on the
Fact that the song has a brief line as well criticizing child sex trafficking now I didn’t realize that was a bad thing to criticize but hey I don’t think like the mainstream media I guess it includes a reference to the atrocities of Jeffrey Epstein I wish politicians look out for minors
And not just minors on an island somewhere Lord uh conservative shows and news outlets meanwhile largely praised the song But in reality it doesn’t fall on the conventional side of the Republicans or the Democrats at least not the old school ones Mr Anthony even declared in his video before the release that he
Identifies with the middle of the road he sees both parties as being part of the same agenda he stated this clearly what he stands for though is something else his song is part of a shift taking place in the country some could argue and I believe it’s the case that even Trump
May be part of the same shift it’s populism it’s the average citizen it’s the trucker caps the rallies the belief that we just want to live our lives and not get dragged into Wars drained by taxes micromanaged by big government we don’t want it people just want to live their lives
Now folk music has always been the anthem of the average person it’s the song of everyday life in America the country music tradition was originally based on Old Irish Melodies and folk music was traditionally you know taking taking old Melodies changing the lyrics to fit the realities of the times Irish
Melodies for example turn from the oceans to the American Plains love songs the names were changed from European cities to American towns songs of the Whalers became the songs of the Cowboys in America though big business has taken over much of the music industry songs
Are written by AI pop stars lip sync the lyrics it’s a big show a fakery and it tends to make an easy Dollar by capitalizing usually by using unsavory desires you make people want it by using unsavory things but something real in that whole industry is rare
It happens when a song resonates with people when it shows how people think it maybe makes them think a bit deeper the significance of this song isn’t just about this song in particular or about Oliver Anthony even it’s been part of a trend recently the new protest song The
Cry of the every man what it shows is a cultural shift and it’s part of something bigger this is something actually really significant the late journalist Andrew Breitbart famously stated that politics is Downstream from culture to change politics you first need to change the culture and it’s not just me
Saying this but a lot of others as well the censorship we’re watching the attacks on the American people the j6ers the prison sentences the crazy things we’re watching the political attacks the rolling indictments on Trump these are not the acts of a confident system these are the acts of a desperate system it
Ties to something I was told recently in fact I was speaking with a friend from Brazil who said in one of his darker moments you know facing the corruption and cares that especially in his country that we’re seeing all around the world he asked a Brazilian philosopher and
Journalist a Lavo de Caballo what hope is there in this world and one of the last things said before his death was this you can’t change politically that which exists culturally and this is true history shows it policy cannot derail a cultural movement persecution cannot stop belief
The reality is right now as we speak there’s a shift taking place and when a shift like this an Awakening reaches into the culture of a Nation or even the whole world as we’re seeing right now no form of political action can keep it down well folks that’s it for YouTube for the

You can safely assume that anybody that went through the extra effort to avoid U.S border Patrol was not Asylum Seeker by default it may not be today it may not be tomorrow but somewhere doesn’t work if somebody rapes and kills somebody and we find out that they came through
Here on my watch that’s unacceptable these men that surrounded my house they were banging on my back door they were banging on my front door I can’t understand it unless you’re out here seeing it every day dead bodies is it wrong to ask people to come to your front door you’re at home Then why would it be wrong to ask people to come to the front door of our nation their primary goal is to circumvent the checkpoints go undetected people that do not want to surrender those are going to be the potential terrorists the criminals the real threat to the U.S
