      But soon he will be dead and have to answer to God for why he didn't accept His salvation through Jesus. There go we all. The whole deal is about eternity and where we will spend it, not this world which is. A giant distraction to sort out sheep from goats. Weeds from wheat.

      ​@oneoflokis that is because he has lived an easy,wealthy life.talks a lot about the evil of the west, but when it comes to the fascist and imperialistic Russia he finds excuses. People and artists who criticise the Russian government like he criticises the west,are killed or arrested in Russia and sometimes even outside Russia. I find the man an hypocrite of the worst kind. Its easy to give interviews to people who think like you. I wonder how much of his money he shares with the poor people he seems to be defending.

      I can't find it now, but I'd heard a version on youtube a long time ago from Iron Maiden where they changed the lyrics and it sang "run from the hills, run to your lives". You aren't alone, in our area the first nations and the colonial settlers fought together against fracking, and won.

      Years later I discovered that it was a common tactic intended to smear activists with this false label and I felt foolish and guilty for being so gullible. Now that I'm awake I see this dirty tactic everywhere and realize when I'm being propagandized for the furtherance a dangerous narrative.

    Hi Chris! I am a life long jazz musician and never paid too much attention to Roger. But man...I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this interview. I had no idea about any of his background and what a great human being he is. Those of us in the music world who try to let people know about the reality of things really risk our careers and sometimes a lot more. I have traveled internationally for the last 2 decades and can tell you...I am ashamed many times when i have to take out my US passport. People look at me with HATE many times i tell you! I have lost many friends for touring in China! It is truly unreal how much ignorance there is. So now I mostly just play and get out to the next gig to continue my life, but....Its super tiring dealing with this as a musician and trying to even let people into my mind, to know my opinion about war and what the US does in this world! I am grateful to you in so many ways. I have watched you for a long time now, just to keep my mind in peace knowing that not everyone is totally corrupt and brainwashed. This interview gave me another reason to be at peace in the world and have a little more healing from the battles. My family has a long history of activism as well. My cousins were tortured in South America. Jailed. My uncle's persecuted by government police and military for going to Cuba back in the 70's and etc etc. So you can imagine why I listen to you. Not from anger...but from a place where I can find peace in my heart. To deal with the condition we find ourselves in. And to know I am not alone. Thank you again. And many big hugs. P

      I'm surprised because in most countries people are well aware that people are not their government. One 'good' thing I've noticed is that the belligerent american is not so public in foreign countries anymore. I think MOST americans are well aware of this kind of thing, they simply don't know what to do about it. And so it really is easier to just turn on a sitcom.

    I was in Israel in1968 after the six day war, and witnessed the clearing of a Bedoin market in Beersheba. Mainly with young soldiers not much older than me. Their callous, cruel behavior drove a stake in my heart. It was like footage I had seen of the clearing of the ghettoes. When I returned home in London, I argued with my mother. (a Rumanian holocaust survivor) and ended up leaving home on my 18th birthday, early in the morning. Israel separated us forever, to my eternal regret. But the lesson here from my own experience was that we pass on our traumas to the next generation, and that is why the strife continues. Lets face it, Israelis have taken the mantle of revengeful oppression with gusto, and modern efficiency...

By the way, Bedouin have also been extremely cruel to other peoples, including Sudanese African refugees that they've caught in the desert.
