      @Djasko M The sign of the horns as related to music (specifically metal) was actually initially started to ward off evil. There are different opinions on this, with some saying that different musicians may have done it before Ronnie James Dio, but Dio said it was a sign that his grandmother in Italy used to defend against evil. Of course nowadays the original intent has been forgotten and people often associate that sign with the devil, but it's actually meant to protect against the devil. People from all walks have co-opted the sign...from politicians to Britney Spears. In terms of rebellion or revolution, the beauty of art is in the eye of the beholder...but, in terms of music (specifically as in instrumentation and musical skill), I challenge anyone to show me more revolutionary music than Slam Metal, Brutal Death Metal, Goregrind, Deathcore, etc. Just check out these cuts: Cryogenic Defilement "Uterine Intercourse" or Abominable Putridity "Remnants of the Tortured" or a couple tracks from Lust of Decay "Embryonic Breeding for Cannibalistic Devourment" and "Scarification". Also, in terms of beats, check out the drum playthrough video for Infant Annihilator "Cuntcrusher"...as a drummer, metal has always blown me away with how it evolves. The speed, power, might, brilliance, and over-the-top brutality. It's life-changing.

      Love krs1. I'm sounding the alarm. Supply and demand, tuition costs have risen even though College attendance has skyrocketed. You would think that the more books they order the cheaper they would , indeed it's quite the opposite because they want to keep the masses dumbed-down which only inevitably hurts them. that's why I believe when the family of original Reddit Creator claims that elements within the government have had him murdered because he was trying to release open domain documents all on one searchable website without the need to know the specific Case Files for free which had never been done before. and drawing lines from climate change denial and those who funded it. With that as well as the Gulf of Tonkin, Iran-Contra, MK Ultra, the Bay of Pigs, the memo to have terrorist attacks carried out by us to be blamed on Cuba all of which have been Declassified document proof that the government would lie to us and could possibly have elements working for an unknown agenda. Possibly a leftover from Operation Paperclip. how can we become so far behind, nearly last in education. do you win saying one of our Wars is unethical or that they said we had to leave and we're not listening to it, we're not adhering to nuclear regulation. Trying to harsh on Iran saying they're hiding s*** when we won't even sign the agreement or ratify it rather last and trying to keep up with China and Russia. the internets boy. Couldn't smear him so they Epstein the f out of him for tracing climate change denial funding. Remember Gulf of Tonkin and all the people who died in Vietnam because of this lie, Iran-Contra and all the negative images people associated with the devastation of the African-American community, remember MK Ultra where they didn't give a fuk about anybody. 20 years in a war that the United Nations says is against some treaty that we signed
      They want us to think that they stole the Revolution but people are just As fed up with the lies. Watch foreign news coverage of America to get a relatively unbiased picture. Watch Australian 4 corners. They show people talking tacticly. Iran-Contra flooded America streets only hitting black neighborhoods Which would cause a rift between the African American and white neighborhoods & divide a nations people. The gulf of tonkin(lie that got America in Vietnam war). Cia memo suggested attacks on America to be blamed om Cuba... 20 years of war, why? UN says against rules of engagement. Why don't our students who think they're protecting our country& end up serving a dark unknown reason? Tell everyone! Look it up!! Mk ultra, operation paperclip.we already have a fully automated Greenhouse for growing crops using Hydroponics Robotics and 3D lasers where they can plant the seed germinated transfer feed it and water it with exact nutrients which would eliminate pesticide runoff and River pollution.using less land, tapping into the water table and the indoor climate controlled environment would allow 365 24/7 groom farming conditions and we also wouldn't have so much wasted water pumped up from the water table, and when the water table get slower there's less water pressure on those Caverns and when we pump out so much the fissures and cracks in Earth's crust causing earthquakes and for earthquake-prone environments that's a good thing. we just need to have a peaceful demonstration that were over it, having a prerequisite, denouncing any violence taking place before the demonstration across the world. Sounds good to me as long as people aren't stupid or cause violence

    This is the reason Im taking more time to put more substance love and passion in my music. As a artist I stand for the woke community, and it's time for real men music, real spiritual healing, and financial education. My gift from YAH is music and as well as my passion for using it to get my voice heard. So I will push myself in these next 3weeks to finish up (State mof the district) Professionally...
