But I don't know, I've never met the man. What I do know is that since before the end of World War II, the U.S. has been the world's #1 manufacturer and the #1 exporter of weapons of all classes. It would in no way be an exaggeration to say the United States maintains military facilities in almost every country on Earth. The military-industrial complex has been this nation's trump card in global policy making. France exports wine, Columbia exports coke, and the US exports guns. Any one of these products could spell death in the wrong hands, but it is in the case of arms proliferation that this is most often the case. Did you know that you could you could by an American-made M16(the older versions of the kind US troops carry) on the Somali blackmarket for less than $150 a piece. No shit you're gonna have 15 year olds robbin' food shipments off the high seas in a country where bullets are more readily available than food. But still can be heard the self-righteous banter of those on the right and many on the left, who want to make it an issue of security. Who in the world was safer after the US armed and trained Somoza's national guard and the Mujahadeen? After the US armed Saddam, or after giving Israel nukes who was any safer? The dictatorial regimes who wouldn't be able to maintain control of their respective countries' exploited peoples and resources otherwise, that's who. And so it persists, due to the ignorance of those too naive or too distracted to connect the dots and due to the corrupt souls of those who reap profit from the suffering and misery of others. It persists through the willingness of the media to downplay facts like 17 out of 19 those men who hijacked those planes on 9/11 were Saudi, not Afghan, not Iraqi. The Pentagon sells weapons to the Saudi royalty so that they'll keep their proles in check while big American oil business literally pumps their land, their birthright, their only natural resource, dry at the people's own expense. If it wasn't so tragic, it might be funny how quickly the media makes such details into trivia when the time comes to take action. If it wasn't so tragic, it might be funny that the nuances of sad contradictions in rhetoric and policy are lost on Americans affluent enough to proudly consider themselves average, when they really mean blissfully naive. To him, the conservative, nothing ever happened, nothing ever changed, nothing ever ought to. They fiddle with their dicks as the world burns around them. Some artists merit fans. Other masters merit disciples. Immortal Technique, you ain't shit. Land of the gun | Reviewer: the d and pharo'n | 2/13/09 I don't care whether he is going change America or any thing else; all I know is this man changed me a lot:read nigga,read..... wow, he historian,revolutionist,poet,rapper and great motivator and as well he is not affected by materialism. rap in his prime time indeed... The D from Ethiopia Background Music | Reviewer: Justis | 6/22/08 The version on Portable Immortal has the theme from, I think it is Sergio Leone's The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, I think the music might have been used in the other parts of the trilogy. Great song, great album, have to recommend Revolutionary 1 & 2 as well. re:jennelle | Reviewer: IMMORTALFAN | 3/28/08 no ones praising immortals past and he isnt creating a track about what he did for publicity hes creating it for awareness hes telling people who go around raping people " youknow thats someones mum aswell" so hes saying he raped sumone and feels bad for it but if he made a track saying just that he raped a woman no one would take notice so he makes the person the man rapes into the rapists mum and that makes people think wich is what hes set out to do too true | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/12/07 This man speaks what no one else will say, but what we all know to be true. Now we're running through the streets. Great message, nice vocals, excellent imagery... I recommend this song to every person alive. backgorund music? | Reviewer: zito3591 | 12/10/07 what is the name of the song in the background? sounds like it would come from a skate/ski video. it goes real well with the lyrics.. i love how he's real in depth and very descriptive with his words. Elemental | Reviewer: Escape | 10/22/07 this man is just opening ya eyez R'tards!keep on talkin' shit ..u just wanna try to convince yourself this is only a song...phockin'G.W. BUSH lovers.its true violence inflicts more violence but..u know .theory is a lil bit different of practical shit ...and yeah ..i want to rape , kill if this is going to make a better world ;) change | Reviewer: Jenelle | 10/14/07 speaking the truth is great, and as far as any of us know or wish to believe he does speak the truth. but there is something more that can be done than simply speaking the truth...than simply acting so immorally, like raping another human being, and then creating lyrics about it. That is not something to necessarily praise...even if technique has changed!? i like some of his lyrics and ideas and the insight they give. but change for the good people is not that difficult, it shouldnt be taking us this long to figure it all out, but it does, we're like ponies on a merry go round...never fucking getting it! good shit | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/14/07 yo this man knows what he is talkin about he speaks da truth and i think this man is keepin hip hop alive immortal technique's da shizznit | Reviewer: squady | 9/12/07 watsup man honestly ur da illest man love ur style, u jus bring so much energy to ur lyrics, keep doin ur thang man respect, we love u out in jamaica.....
