Does Bilderberg Censor Mainstream Music and Ban Protest Songs?

Suspicions that the capitalist system is deliberately censoring the music industry and preventing popular musicians from singing protest songs have been raised by a question asked by a contributor to Indymedia UK.
Strangely enough the brief news item about the complete lack of protest songs today was removed from the newswire soon after it appeared.

"Where Are All The Protestors?" asked Bob's Mate on 27 May 2007.
“The Bands that made stuff like 'The Final Cut'.
“The Final Cut was pink floyd's put down of Maggie.
“In the 60's Bob Dylan protested about just about everything.
“John Lennon never let anything go by he thought was wrong without writing and singing about it.
“But where are all today's singer songwriters?
“The world is in a worse state now than at any time in the past.
“But nothing from them.
“It's always been artists and writers in the past that have stirred the masses to act during oppressive times.
“There is a great lack of them now.
“Is it like Pink Floyd said they are all too comfortably numb?”
A comment from the Church of All Worlds said: “Don't panic, we're coming back!”
“Angel has a new song called 'For the Children' and she asks 'What have we done to our Earth? Where is the love for our children?'
“She also has a song called 'Fight for your Rights' which says 'You've got to fight for what you believe in, you've got to fight for what you know is right.'
“She also sings a lot of John Lennon's songs like 'Imagine' and 'Working Class Hero.'
“I don't know whether knowing this will make you feel any better but the fact is that we are all coming back out of the woodwork soon for the Camp for Climate Action at Heathrow Airport in August.
“See you there perhaps?”
“Hi Stranger” was Bob's Mate's reply.
“Who is Angel?” he asked.
“Angel is a Rainbow Warrior...” was the immediate reply.
“The Hopi Indians would tell this story to their children around the campfire.
“The story goes like this: Some time in the future, the Indians said, the animals would begin to disappear. People would no longer see the wolf, or the bear, or the eagles.
“And, the story goes, the giant trees would also disappear. And people would fight with each other and not love each other.
“And, the story goes, the beautiful rainbow in the sky would fade away, and people would not see the rainbow anymore.
“Well, children would come. And these children would love the animals, and they would bring back the animals. They would love trees, and they would bring back the giant trees.
“And these children would love other people and they would help people to live in peace with each other.
“And these children would love the rainbow, and they would bring back the beautiful rainbow in the sky. For this reason the Indians called these children the rainbow warriors.”
"After the Camp for Climate Action there will be a World Gathering on the hilltops all over the Earth and Angel will be there to herald the coming of the New Dawn and the emergence of a worldwide Children's Revolution to save the human race from extinction. The Martians are coming...”
Indymedia may well have decided that the question about where have all the protest singers gone was not real news, but the Church of All Worlds believes there are very sinister forces at work in the world that are controlling the news media even to the extent of censoring the music that the public is allowed to listen to.
People like Sir Bob Geldof and his friend Bono seem to be able to promote their own agenda and organise concerts selling mainstream pop music on the back of their anti poverty campaign, but nobody rocks the boat and sings about the wars or the destruction of the environment by big business and big government.
Censorship has been at the very heart of the Bush administration's efforts to prevent the public from knowing the truth about global warming and climate change, and there appears to be a deliberate and systematic programme of disinformation throughout the news media to deceive the people into accepting the horrors of the slaughter in the Middle East and the extinction of all life on Earth.
As the environmental movement begins to come back to life again and mobilises the people to rise up and fight back in self defence against the destruction of the planet surely it makes sense to remind the musicians and the writers and artists of their responsibility to the cause of the survival of humanity?
The Camp for Climate Action at Heathrow Airport from 14 to 21 August and the World Gathering that will follow it soon afterwards should be supported whole heartedly by everyone in the movement who believes in working to try to save the human race from extinction.
Music and art and literature have a very important role to play in the cultural revolution that will accompany the more dramatic revolutionary changes that are about to take place all over the world.
