One of the few iconic artists who still has the spirit. So many became famous bucking the trend. Now most of them are afraid to, it seems.

So Unfortunately true that many of the greatest musicians fail us at living up to their reputations as freedom loving patriots. It makes me think their respect for their fans - whose taste for their music is at the very least the other half of their equation - is sadly lacking. Not that I don’t understand that many parasites lurk backstage but these musicians just disappoint.

Thanks for sharing this - great feel, songwriting and what was that lyric "is it your opinion, that we should start again? Return the bond, dump number 10" With Johnson's resignation today in the UK that is some timing. Way to go Eric!

Sadly, I believe Johnson's resignation (which is theatre to a large extent) will merely clear the way for someone worse, either a real psychopath or someone like Liz Truss, who has been groomed to mouth the words of the intelligence services and the Foreign Office, in return for high office for which she is in no way suited. The next stage is CBDCs (arranged by Sunak) and NHS Apps/Digital IDs (facilitated by Javid). Re Johnson, the liar that everyone knows is a liar is less dangerous than the other 'snakes in suits'.

'They' shift the figureheads around as it suits them, especially when the agenda is about to move on to a new stage. It happens in other countries too.

You are correct - Blair has not yet been brought to justice for going against the electorates' wishes and waging war in Iraq along with Bush Jr and Nicholas Sarkozy. The current crop of politicians are even more blatantly corrupt and inept than those that went before them. This seems to be a trend.

As much as the plan you pointed out seems to be rolling out, don't forget their ability to fuck it up is too. If you read Armstrong, you may be aware that it will fail catastrophically.

As well as admitting how he was ‘injured’ by the Covid shots…and his willingness to speak up about it…unlike so many other ‘performers’ of his age or even younger…that took the Shots too and who have died from them.

It was in an EC & RFK Jr. Interview I watched that I first heard about Mattias Desmet and his Mass Formation theory..he asked RFK Jr. If he knew of Desmet’s work…RFK Jr. had not heard of him. EC said he would send him info on Desmet.

I'm a huge fan of Mattias Desmet! I first became aware of him when he was interviewed on the Pandemic Podcast in Sept of 21. He's such an important and vital voice in this whole thing... such an intelligent guy. I think I've listened to every single interview out there.

Yes! After hearing about him from

EC I took the deep dive on checking out Professor Desmet. Then all the other newly ‘anointed authorities’ like Dr. Malone started to talk about him, and subsequently added the ‘Psychosis’ to the end of Desmet’s Mass Formation theory. (Which Desmet had never called it ‘psychosis’.)

IMO Mr. Clapton’s ‘credentials’ are far more outstanding than Dr.

Malone’s.

Mattias Desmet's book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism has recently been published in English. It's phenomenally insightful and powerful. Everyone should read it. Of course the people who most need to read it never will.

So true…there are many books out now like the new Naomi Wolf book ‘The Body of Others’ that many of the ‘blue pill-ers’ would be benefit from reading.

Seeing how online free speech is being relentlessly crushed, I find myself wondering when they will come for the books. They already have a record of every book we've bought. When will the counter-narrative books start to disappear from the shelves?

Thanks for posting! Huge respect to Clapton for speaking up when he was injured.

Thank you! Eric will always be in my top ten list of guitar players! I look up to him even more as he is one of the few who spoke out when he was injured by the vaccines. So very happy he was able to recover. Unfortunately so many have not.

Van Morrison has been a huge inspiration all the way through and just released his latest protest album 'What's It Gonna Take?' arriving on the heels of 'Latest Record Project, Vol:1' also venting his anger at what's going on.

So many of our dear leaders could fit the bill of the “pompous fool”! Nice song.

Can’t understand what keeps Justin Bieber and Celine dion quiet. It can’t be a big payoff…these people are worth hundreds of millions. Maybe they or their family are being physically threatened? There are other famous people injured - Wendy Williams in Philly for one - and I could see them being influenced with $$$ but not the really big hitters.

Believe they are simply ruled by fear like everyone else. Money, celebrity don’t lend one courage, letting go of fear does. Understanding freedom means nothing left to lose.

I was thinking exactly the same. I had hoped they would have the balls to speak out. They must know what made them ill surely

I don't think they're being stood over. It's much more likely they haven't even considered that their injuries could be a result of the jabs themselves. Like many entertainers and general Hollywood types... they are caught up in the altruistically driven liberal ideal of... "It's all for the greater good". The vaxxes are good right? Our politicians and their "experts" told us so! It couldn't be the vaxxes!

Yes it is a mystery why they (JB & CD btw both Canadians) are silent though visibly injured. Ms. Dion had to cancel her long standing Las Vegas gig. I don’t know if Bieber was able to continue with his tour. Could they have been silenced by Trudeau and Co as the Canadian government is still seriously pushing the Vaxxes & boosters?

Just got to this today, thanks- Clapton's voice is more familiar to me than most, like an old friend's voice.
