I wasn't going to listen, as I'm outside, in hearing range of a freeway; and with just the tiny speaker on my android. But man am I glad I did. I think this tenor does the absolute best job of the dozens I've heard, the way he's no-nonsense proclamatory and utterly present! I couldn't find, afterwards, any list of performers? D'oh. Would love to know who he is.
But still, after your inspiring intro, and the stark realities we're facing in this very moment, the chorale struck me more deeply than EVER before. I sincerely appreciate your sharing.
I completely agree with you, Michael and have been thinking along these lines for 50 years. It seems to me that Yanis Varoufakis has also been thinking along these lines and has also come to understand things, as I have done, in terms of a return to Feudalism of a kind in which the masses are reduced to become the property of corporations, restricted in their movements, their lives fully controlled in every way (a Larry Epstein and Prince Charles wet dream). I have taken some steps in a direction I believe can overcome this and we should discuss. It is time to stop wasting time just trying to persuade everyone that this is happening. I have also interpreted Beethoven's 9th in this way (absent the religious thread).
perhaps Beethoven's Ode to joy needs to be sung in Congress and the Supreme Court, and the executive branch. Then the military industrial complex and all whose inner motive is to crucify all life by war and anti-semitic unconstitutional laws of persecution of non Jews will be obliterated from the universe. Unity of all by Music. Maybe students in campuses should be singing Beethoven's , symphony nine. https://youtu.be/IgtQmnE9suQ
NATO is not for the benefit of the U.S.; not led by the U.S.; although endless trillions of U.S. Taxpayer $$$ have been LAUNDERED for NATO benefiting The City of London, The Crown Corporation, The Gladio Program implementing NATO'S False Flag Operations and Wars for Profit and Power benefiting themselves.
Done hearing about all this B.S. being the children of the U.S. when the reality; it's all a DREAM OF THE WORLD COLONIZATION OF THE CENTRAL BANKERS AND IMPERIALISTS TERRIFIED OF THEIR TINY ISLAND NATION going down the tubes as it didn't have the Human or Natural Resources to remain THE WORLD POWER without the U.S. as their Mafia Enforcer.
Are you following the money? Shakespeare did. See "The Merchant of Venice".
Ask yourself why EVERY Western government, EVERY Western corporation, EVERY Western media/entertainment of the mainstream is supporting the Genocide in Gaza and EVERY Wealthy Arab Nation has abandoned the Palestinians.
SOON they will be coming for you - your labour, your money, your compliance and your daughters (for Larry and Andrew).
Soon, they better have a lot more than a 'pea shooter'. Those on the interior are prepared and have mos across the board with all the skills needed for a viable fight. WE ARE NOT GIVING UP WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS FOR 12 GENERATIONS.
From the Money Lenders in the Temple and Merchants of Venice, to the Treaty of Versais, to Balfour Declaration, then on to the League of Nations and eventually to control the US Senate all the empires have been played, their central banks have never been their own. What a fools' parade they are!
What? For a "Rules based system"? Who's going to make the rules? Doesn't sound good to me - ex-pat of pathetic Australia which has been reduced to the status of tin-pot island states like Pilau voting with Israel and the US on orders.
The UN Needs change, mainly empowerment and sorting out the Security council, but it definitely needs to stay and become enriched and fully democratic.
Here is one proposal for International Law:
For the prevention of war and Nuclear Weapons:
1: It is illegal to establish or maintain a national or private military force or to own or maintain Military grade weapons or ammunition or Nuclear weapons of any kind.
2: There will be ONE and ONLY ONE legally protected military force
a) It will be subordinate to and legally bound by the United Nations
b) It will have ONE and ONLY ONE legally acceptable function - that being to disarm any illegal
national or private military force
c) ALL of its members will be INDIVIDUALLY and legally bound to comply with an absolute
requirement to participate in actions that serve ONLY the function described in b) above.
b) It will train and operate only such Military Personnel and equipment and produce and maintain
only such weapons and ammunition as necessary to perform its function as described in b) above.
3: There will be a three year transition period during which:
a) ALL National and private military forces are legally bound to policy and operational control of the
UN with immediate effect.
b) ALL members of National and private military forces are legally required either to resign
permanently from military duties or transfer to UN-based contracts containing the legally binding
commitment 2 c) above to become subject to UN control with immediate effect.
b) National and private owners of Military forces will either decommission and dismantle military
equipment, ammunition or nuclear weapons or transfer their ownership to the UN.
4: All Research and Development of a Military nature will become subject to ownership and control of the UN with immediate effect.
Not quite sure how I subscribed to an anti-vaxer but anyhoo, your headline popped up in my email alerts and something .. 'popped', as in, clicked.
' Confronting the “Ugly Sounds” of Corrupt Politicians. Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. First Performed in Vienna 200 Years Ago '
Long ago memories of family talking about how Mozart was once considered a mad rebel, vulgar, quite unrestrained. Quite apart from politics, thank you heaps for heads-up on 200 years. What a time to be alive.
The vax debate we'll leave for another day, but as a lad me mum had chonky thigh-high hifi speakers, cranked up two thirds or therabouts, iirc, and Mozart? Nine year old wonder.
The Anti-VAX debate could see a lot of wealthy criminals behind bars and take a lot of steam out of the widespread criminality currently destroying our world.
IT was NOT a Vaccine, it was a very reckless and dangerous global experiment in gene therapy.
Funny how nearly the entire debate about vaxs is cutting-edge science involving a tiny fraction of vax patients, when the real obscenity is countless billions made off artificial scarcity around covid treatments.
Millions died, including half a million in the US.
If I don't take weak bait, does that make me anti-fish?

Hi Michel, just want to inform you that your globalresearch is down in Finland.
This happened after I sent the Naomi Wolf article/video to a teacher
I completely agree with you, Michael and have been thinking along these lines for 50 years.

Precious Mr. Michael C.,
perhaps Beethoven's Ode to joy needs to be sung in Congress and the Supreme Court, and the executive branch. Then the military industrial complex and all whose inner motive is to crucify all life by war and anti-semitic unconstitutional laws of persecution of non Jews will be obliterated from the universe.

Too bad removing the viciousness in human nature isn't as easy as afjusting a discordant piano. 🤔
Very naive to believe that power doesn't do the same terrible things to women.
UNITE WITH GOD AND LIKE MINDED FOR GLORIOUS HYMNS
NATO is not for the benefit of the U.S.; not led by the U.S.; although endless trillions of U.S. Taxpayer $$$ have been LAUNDERED for NATO benefiting The City of London, The Crown Corporation, The Gladio Program implementing NATO'S False Flag Operations and Wars for Profit and Power benefiting themselves.

UNDO THE U-N
What? For a "Rules based system"? Who's going to make the rules? Doesn't sound good to me - ex-pat of pathetic Australia which has been reduced to the status of tin-pot island states like Pilau voting with Israel and the US on orders.
SO YER FOR THE EVIL U N ?
I'm VERY against the Evil Empire.
The UN Needs change, mainly empowerment and sorting out the Security council, but it definitely needs to stay and become enriched and fully democratic.

CONCLUSIVELY!
Not quite sure how I subscribed to an anti-vaxer but anyhoo, your headline popped up in my email alerts and something .. 'popped', as in, clicked.

Anti-vaxer is such stupid label.
If I don't eat fly agaric. Does it make me an anti-mushromer?
. . .
"Anti-vaxer is such stupid label."
Is it, tho?
Funny how nearly the entire debate about vaxs is cutting-edge science involving a tiny fraction of vax patients, when the real obscenity is countless billions made off artificial scarcity around covid treatments.
Millions died, including half a million in the US.

THE LEFT MIGHT THINK THAT
liked for politeness.
"the" left, tho?
that's like saying "the" media
meanwhile, "the" left might think that, true.
just funny how "the" right consistently support billionaires, and "the" left doesn't, except?
Except THE reality we speak of doesn't actually exist. THE left is a hotbed of dissent, just as much as on the right THE floor is lava.
Millions of deaths.
Billions upon billions in profits.
THE truth is not left-right thing, especially in THE knowable now, not potential futures, risks, fears, or disinformation.
. . .
IN YOUR THOUGHT
Beethoven powerful music.no one else compares.
