Architexture: The Art & Politics of the Human Spirit

  Wow, on the verge of tears listening to later Genesis. With the confirmation on his new album that Peter Gabriel definitely is Illuminati (I'll cover this in a future post), it adds a whole new context to his rivalry with his former bandmates. Peter Gabriel struggled in the early 80s with 3 albums that influenced all of rock and pop because of their influence on Genesis, but they did nothing commercially. It was so bad that he was deep in debt and forced to do a one-time reunion concert with Genesis in the early 80s. But Genesis were probably 10x bigger without Gabriel. They dropped all the occult/religious/conspiracy theory lyrics Gabriel brought and actually made music promoting and condoning the NWO. They were the biggest band of the 80s while Gabriel floundered. Then Gabriel comes back in the late 80s with a totally different style, dropping all the darkness and conspiracy stuff as this happy guy in a suit singing white RnB and pop - basically what Phil Collins had been doing

This might be Genesis' masterpiece. Even better than "Supper's Ready". Its so brilliantly symbolic and works on multiple levels. 1. The surface of the lyrics is about a guy calling up someone and getting no answer. Then he goes to their house and knocks on the door (which becomes part of the drumming - AMAZING) and gets no answer. Then he flips out and realizes he needs to give up the relationship. The first lyrics: I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey But it's alright Like a load on your back that you can't see Ooh, but it's alright Try to shake it loose, cut it free, just let it go Just get it away from me, oh 'Cause tonight, tonight, tonight, oh I'm gonna make it right Tonight, tonight, tonight, oh The average listener will think this is about a cocaine addict and the story is about trying to find their drug dealer. The term "monkey on my back" = a drug addiction. 2. But calling himself a "monkey" also, obviously

 I just had a heated exchange with some popular twitter "orthodox Marxist" who claimed religious socialists are not maligned by the rest of the left. I've faced so much religious and Islamaphobic insults from Marxists when they begin to lose an argument and this girl was no different. First off, she's a typical twitter Marxist - European, obviously middle class, staunchly Atheist and "scientific". She proceeded to claim Atheists can't be Marxists and Marxism is inherently atheistic & "scientific" but refused to explain why. So I attacked her unsupported, undefined premise by: 1. Debunking the monism of materialism - the defense materialist atheists make that there is nothing but matter in this universe. 2. Explaining how the materialism of Marxism still applies outside of the outdated, debunked monist materialism of Physicalism to the current Pluralistic models of the universe supported by theoretical physics. 3. Proving Marx's own athe

I've become very attracted to the music of the 70s prog-rock/80s pop rock band Genesis. I grew up a fan of the solo careers of Genesis's 2 lead singers Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins. Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" is the most played music video in MTV history and Collins was an even bigger mainstay on pop radio from the early 80s to mid 90s. To be so successful in mainstream media raises red flags about how compromised their political content might be.  MTV (often called "Masonic TV") and corporate media wouldn't promote anyone whose worldview conflicts with their own globalist, secular new world order. Phil Collins seems the most obvious suspect because he's often blamed for the band's "selling out" to more commercial and simple pop ballads for the masses. But there's a strong humanitarian thread to his era of Genesis as well as his solo career.  Collins became a champion of Britain's right wing years ago from a tabloid report
