Many people in the world like to believe that our government representatives have the ability and intention to defend and protect the best interests of our survival. Unfortunately, this is not true. Our “representatives” no longer have any power whatsoever. They are talking heads for a Military-Corporate-Congressional-Banking Complex that has risen and seized control of our planet since 1947. The last two American presidents who wrote their own speeches were Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy. The evidence of their warnings have been ignored and suppressed.
The danger they attempted to warn us about has now been manifested in the New World Order of Socialist / Fascist / Military / Corporate / Banking International Police State, whose ONLY interests are to accumulate as much PRIVATE Power, Control and Possessions as possible for themselves. Eisenhower told the truth before he died. Kennedy was shot because he was about to reveal the truth. May they rest in Peace. It may be too late for the rest of us…. Bankers, Politicians and Corporations are Parasites who feed on the economic slavery of the “human body” of mindlessly willing workers. However, they too will reap their “rewards” when the collective Body of Humanity dies, and they die with it. So Be It….

~ ~ Guitar: Segovia, Bream, Manitas de de Plata (literally small Scissorhands but in fact is the French expression “nimble fingers”) is a famous gypsy guitarist. Whose real name is Ricardo Baliardo, Manitas de Plata was born August 7, 1921 in Sète, in a caravan. It was soon recognized by his people as Manitas de Plata, the man with the “magic fingers”. It differs every year, playing the guitar at the Gypsy pilgrimage of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Django Reinhardt was alive, he dare not even think to dethrone that which was then considered the king of gypsy music. Ten years after the death of Django, he agrees to play in public, and the miracle happens. In New York, at an exhibition of photographs by his friend Lucien Clergue, an acknowledged admirer of one of the shots and persuaded him to record. He made his debut in the chapel of Arles. An American manager does play on stage at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York in December 1965. The gypsy illiterate, who can not read a note of music, conquers the world. In March 1964, an evening bullfight in Arles, Picasso, after hearing him play, exclaims: “It is more expensive than me! “.He was a friend of Salvador Dalí. Since 1967, Manitas de Plata continues to release records, travels the world surrounded by his tribe and always his eldest son, Manero, one of the last great singers of the Camargue, or developing smaller, his family around him . He played well in the U.S., Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Singapore, England, Algeria, etc.. Manitas has sold over 93 million albums of his music, over 83 different disks (source: manitasdeplata.fr). He lives very modestly to the Grande Motte. Manitas has lost his younger brother, 27 May 2009, which accompanied him during his early career on the biggest stages the world Balliardo Hippolyte, 84, also of the greatest friend. On August 8, 2009, there is still the arena “El Cordobés” Palavas-les-Flots (France), at the tribute night dedicated to his brother Hippolyte but also on the occasion of his birthday (7 August 2009), the public makes him a standing ovation while moving him this illiterate gypsy, who introduced El Flamenco worldwide, having reduced later this music to its purest form. Manitas de Plata is now considered the greatest flamenco guitarist in the world although controversial by the purists of the traditionalist school academic Spanish, because of his illiteracy and non-academic. Yet the artist Manitas is the world flamenco, all shades together, to be the best selling album in the world, an artist always respected and loved precisely because of its extraordinary art. Salvador Dali, who resembled the father Manitas, said of him, “Whenever Manitas plays, firefighters take fire.” Manitas met the most influential artistic, economic, literary and political, all captivated by the art, the personality of the artist at once modest and somewhat narcissistic, but always so endearing, touching and authentic. There are a permanent UN International Gypsy world representing these people and stuff.
