SHOULDER THAT ARM - Fifth Faction - News

BOYCOTT ARIZONA

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

In protest against the impending anti-immigration law set to take effect on July 29th, Fifth Faction was in attendance at the Sound Strike show featuring Rage Against the Machine at the Hollywood Paladium. Needless to say, Rage left the house in rubble...For all those interested, PLEASE visit www.thesoundstrike.net to sign the petition and voice your anger against this law! SB 1070 is an attempt to advocate and legalize racial profiling and is a step backwards in bringing people of different ethnicity TOGETHER! So as the fellas from Rage said last night...."F*CK ARIZONA!"

Pass the cigar.

Congratulations, to Fifth Faction producer and mad scientist Rudy-pooh, on the birth of his new baby daughter! May she be the muse to harness the musical insanity...

By the Way....

In the chaos after the Ron Artest rebound buzzer-beater, and with the Laker masses pouring from Staples in jubilation...I happened to notice a Flea by my shoulder...and yes, that is Popcornopolis in my hand.

Next stop...PANDORA.

The PANDORA music movement will soon include good ol' Fifth Faction in the very near future! We are extremely excited to be on the Pandora rotation. No word on a specific date or even under what category of music you can find us...But it should only take a couple of months before "Shoulder That Arm" is scanned into their database. Much thank's to PANDORA for giving us a listen and providing an opportunity for new listener's to check us out!

Stay tuned.

In short.

Work is underway for an upcoming album. The music is in it's infancy, however the maturation process has begun. Nothing has been recorded as of yet, but my dome piece is mentally recording like crazy. That, and the voice recorder on my Blackbery. I will say that this music has the potential to be our very best! Looking forward to sharing it with you...eventually.

For the "legions" of Fifth Faction followers wondering where the hell we've been and why all is quiet, rest assured that we are still inching at a snail-like pace toward some new music. In fact, I was just going over material a couple mornings ago on my way to work, recording various snipets and sound bytes on the voice recorder of my phone....Yes, it has gotten that bad.

Gone are the days when I could spend countless hours putting the pen to paper only to inevitably scratch out an entire session of work and then start all over again the next day. The solo toking nights when the music bumped my block 'til 12 am are also gone, and so have the more mature meditative writing episodes at the park with the iPod and my thoughts.

Now, I barely have time to know what the news of the day is, and the only inspiration for music comes from the mundane drive from home to work, to school, and then home again. Just today did I realize how much I miss the artistic mindset needed to make this music and it motivated me enough to write to anyone who frequents our webpage.

With that said...The maestro IS still concocting mad experiements in the "hit factory" and has informed me of several new rough beats to begin working on. Along with several other tracks in progress, maybe, just maybe, a new album can be completed sometime before the end of days.

Stay tuned.
As always, much thanks for your support!

The ignorance in this video will ooze out of your monitors. There is no RIGHT side here...Even the person who documented and edited the footage, clearly isn't portraying any message of significance. So, watch it, and share in the embarrassment of AMERIKKKA....

Why Mr. Marrs Likes Obama

WHY I LIKE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

by Jim Marrs

Barack Hussein Obama may yet turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to the United States of America.

Obama has been caught in lie after lie. His National Security Advisor has stated he takes his daily orders from Henry Kissinger, the one man widely viewed as the architect of our disastrous Foreign Policy, the policy which has done so much to turn foreign extremists into implacable enemies.

Obama’s cabinet reads like a roster of secretive societies such as the Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral Commission and the international Bilderbergers. His cry of “change” now rings hollow.

Obama’s policy of continuing unrestrained illegal immigration will destroy the last vestiges of national cohesion. Gun-control legislation pending in Congress will eviscerate the Second Amendment. The new “Food Safety Modernization Act” will eventually outlaw private gardens. Soon only the giant multinational corporations will control all food and water.

Obama’s so-called Stimulus Package is widely viewed as throwing non-existent money after bad while rewarding malfeasance.

Obama’s brand of Marxist Socialism will continue to take from the poor and give to the rich, betraying his supporters.

Obama’s form of collectivism has socialized the banking system and now the auto industry. Others will soon follow. More power is being gathered into the federal government than could ever be imagined by his predecessors.

In following a Socialist philosophy which proved so fatal to communism, he has set the nation on a course for disaster.

He has helped further the dissatisfaction and disdain of the Executive Branch engendered by Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. It now joins the Legislative Branch which already has an approval rating that dips into the single digits. The Judicial Branch is packed with persons selected by former leaders now viewed as incompetent, if not criminals.

But the activities of Obama and his followers may have finally broken the illusion embraced by many Americans about the United States. They now see the empty political rhetoric for what it as — mere words followed by the inaction, or worse, the opposite of what was promised.

Americans now more clearly see that individuals, working at the local level, can take care of local problems better than a faceless, bloated and entrenched bureaucracy in Washington, D.C. More and more are realizing that citizens must regain their rights as free individuals.

The spirit of individual liberty is once again alive in the land. Many Americans today are putting aside the outdated politically-correct notions of liberal vs. conservative and Democrat vs. Republican. They are beginning to wake up to the fact that a handful of super-wealthy individuals and families, many with foreign entanglements, have long sought to control the free Republic of the United States and bring it to its knees.

Already, legislation to regain state sovereignty is moving in many state capitols. After all, without state’s rights how can there be any individual rights? Many Texans are even considering reclaiming their Republic, a legal move fully justified by the articles which brought it into the Union in the first place.

True freedom is on the move.

This is why I like Barack Hussein Obama.
