He's amazing, isn't he! I follow the news very closely and the fact I had never heard or come across his powerful work is an example of the sealed information Bell jar we live in in this country.
It's so true! What I read in well respected alternative news sources is so different from what I see on mainstream media. Not a peep about all the protests everywhere in support of Palestine as just one small example.
Yes. Same thing with coverage of the Julian Assange trial.
I think it was Noam Chomsky who said Americans were the most propagandized people on the planet. I thought there was a lot of truth to that but felt it was a little overstated. Not any more!
Absolutely. When given the opportunity, the corporate state always reveals itself. They are so stoopid they don't realize that by doing that censorship they prove what Lowkey is singing about.
When I first played it when I came across it I kept playing it. And kept crying. So powerful. And yes, his eloquence really cuts through. Thanks for this collection, I only knew about the Palestine song so this is.much appreciated. I will prepare to have my heart and souls strings tuned.
Great. If you come across others add them to this post. I'm going to be posting this Substack wherever I can to help spread the word of his music. I had the same reaction to his songs ... tears coming to my eyes and the interview with Chris Hedges was powerful He is so well spoken with just the right amount of passion to give his words an edge but not veer off into anger.
It's a crime -- but no surprise -- he has been censored and blocked from coming to the US. When a corrupt, bullying government is confronted by a person of truth they always skeedaddle into fascist reaction.
OMG! That is beautiful Stephen. Everybody should forward it on. From the comments on the video:
"I'm a Palestinian and I showed this to my parents, both of which had to leave Palestine at a young age. They cried because theyre finally feeling like theyre being seen, and that their story is being told. Back when they fled, no one knew a Palestine existed in the west, no one knew what was really happening. And now theyre just glad that their story is being told. Thank you."
Thanks. Powerful song and devastating scenes of our destruction. I thought it was interesting how he used an old castle as his stage ... truly a vestige of the old, brutal colonial origins of the west.
All this stuff about global capitalism, the World Economic Forum, WHO, Klaus Schwab is playing out in front of us now. The evil is far deeper and spread more widely than I ever before realized.
The song about Palestine was so powerful. I'm grateful that this amazing musician is bringing attention to the genocide being committed by Israel.

Here's a good update on Assange: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjVY8dELcq4
I'm taking a little break from the computer, but will watch it when I get back. I love Glenn Greenwald! Just watched it, and shared it on twitter.
Really powerful and really keyed in to astute critique too. thank you for shaging this.
Thanks, and pass along. We need more voices of humanity these days.
"Resistance is not terrorism." (Right on, Lowkey!)
The censored images in that powerful video speak for themselves, don't they?

Thank you Mark. The story of people seeking to live their life in peace never ends. I hope and pray that common sense and fairness will prevail.
Yes. Solidarity!

It is headed toward feudal times.
