Is there a URL for this? I want to send this to my friends.
The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
I trust Joni; she's got her finger on the uber pulse of things. She scares me as she is as pure an artist's no spin zone as I know. Thanks for posting this.
Psalm 94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
This 6 minute video gave me a new appreciation for Joni Mitchell.

The last part really floored me. I really love some of her music, but I always thought she was a screaming mimi marxist tool. I guess she is much more in tune than I thought.
That was my feeling too.

Most interesting. Spot-on thoughts and observations. Thanks.
Joni Mitchell-Interview on You Tube Roberta Joan Anderson (Birth name) has always been well grounded and has impressed me with how she has been a conduit translating reality to music. I am pleased her propensity for enhancing wisdom rather than compounding ignorance with more ignorance marches on into her sunset years giving some folks a much needed wake up call they get in few other places. Note how this You Tube video censors the good part of the thread video for example. It shows that even when people like Joni have good, wise words, the system works overtime to censor them. That is a huge part of the problem bedeviling the country and the world.
I like what I've heard of Joni Mitchell's music and listened to the last section of the video. I understand the point she tried to make about "vice- chic" and perversion that has caused so much ruination in this world and aims to cause more. Good of her to speak against that and the vulnerability of youth being exploited and harmed so. However, even if that appears to be the direction the majority of people are leaning because that's the impression the media wants to amplify, or even if it actually is the direction the majority of people are leaning overall-percentagewise, I refuse to have that hideous, so- called cultural "ID" pinned to me as mine, or as "America's" by some blinkered "consensus of self-appointed socio-judges", or even to "Western Civilization in general" collectively. That sort of undiscerning "shorthand" facilitates and aggravates multitudes of problems in this world, not the least of which is war. No doubt, habitually lumping everyone together "geo- culturally" or ethnically plays very strategically into the degeneration- schematics of the barbarians who are so busy crafting, financing, and advancing the preverse, vice-chic agendas and trying to pawn the devastating effects off "wholesale" as due to everyone else's fault except their own or only minutely the "handiwork" of their "engineers". On another note from Joni Mitchell's music-era, I like most of what I've heard of Buffy Ste. Marie's music -- but not her song about General Custer. Here's one of her's that I think many will like or might even consider as one of greatest songs ever, as I do, and the context is similar to what Joni was saying near the end of the video you posted. I found it in a discussion by someone at InformationClearingHouse.info. It's got a title with a word in it that I gathered at the vid-link is Cree for "greedy guts". I don't know how to post it as a video here but it's not a concert clip anyway -- just a picture of her singing -- so will post the lyrics from the sidebar info along with the link for anyine who'd rather just read the poetry or wants to read along with the superb music. Buffy Sainte-Marie - "No No Keshagesh" www.youtube.com/watch? v=w7EYXnLLWZ8 Buffy Sainte-Marie's "No No Keshagesh" Lyrics: I never saw so many business suits. Never knew a dollar sign that looked so cute. Never knew a junkie with a money Jones: He's singing, "Who's selling Park Place. Who's buying Boardwalk"? These old men they make their dirty deals. Go in the back room and see what they can steal. Talk about your beautiful and spacious skies. It's about uranium; it's about the water rights. Put Mother Nature on a luncheon plate. They cut her up and call it real estate. Want all the resources and all of the land. They make a war over it: Blow things up for it. The reservation now is poverty row. There's something cooking and the lights are low. Somebody's trying to save our mother earth. I'm gonna help them to save it, To sing it and bring it Singing: No no Keshagesh: You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more) No, no, no, no Keshagesh You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more) No, no, no, no Keshagesh You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more) No, no, no, no Keshagesh You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more) Ole Columbus he was looking good, When he got lost in our neighborhood. Garden of Eden right before his eyes. Now it's all spy ware: now it's all income tax. Ole' brother Midas looking hungry today. What he can't buy he'll get some other way. Send in the troopers if the natives resist. Old, old story boys, that's how you do it boys. Look at these people; ah they're on a roll. Gonna have it all, gonna have complete control. Want all the resources and all of the land. They'll break the law for it: Blow things up for it. When all our champions are off in the war, Their final rip off here and is always on. Mr. greed I think your time has come. We're gonna sing it and pray it and live it then say it. Singing: No no Keshagesh: You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more) No, no, no, no Keshagesh You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more) No, no, no, no Keshagesh You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more) No, no, no, no Keshagesh You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)

Thanks for this great song by one of our national treasures.
How can anyone NOT fall instantly in love with Joan Anderson? :)
Another classic toob:
Glad you liked the video, Lod, and thanks so much for the instructions. Am going to test it on a video for a song from the '70's that also speaks of "Eden", as she did, and a generation not born at the time it was recorded that would see "The Smoke" of it. The visuals are dire but I think of it as symbolic in the context of 9/11 being something of a "Manhattan Project II" that has been destroying the world by fire from the WTC buildings ever since then with wars and economic collapse and so many attacks on Liberty. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2- 7YQAmhnSM
