Oh, I think he might of had a little "Ecclesiastical" help with that one.
I always figured he was his dad or uncle or something.
Question: But didn't Stalin turn out to be one of the worst despots of the 20th century?
Answer: Well, when it comes to big ones. But there's bad ones all over. And, you know, for 50 years, the United States has helped control the politics of Latin America. And they have the School of the Americas, they call it, in Fort Benning, Ga. Training military Latin American military men how to torture, how to massacre, how to assassinate.
Just another folksy old Stalinist, reminiscing about the good old days of gulags, terror famines and mass executions.
Old Communists never die, they just fade away. Some of them should fade further and faster.
Pete Seeger is an atheist Communist SOB. The adulation of him by the American establishment would make good evidence of the claim that Communism is secretly run by David Rockefeller. Or was, at any rate. David Rockefeller turned 90 last month. I don't know who's secretly running the world now. I only know it's not me.
There is no fool like an old fool
I guess that whole "We will bury you!" thing was just a big misunderstanding...

Pete Seeger was a has been by the time most of those songs came into popularity. He basically faded away by the end of the sixties. He was more known for his banjo playing and banjo book, than anything other than anti-war activism.
Nick,
Thanks for posting this article.
It's a good time to remind ourselves that artists don't have a clue about reality.
Leave ol' Pete alone and just listen to the banjo.
No matter how loony he sounds.
David Rockefeller certainly kept his running the world secret. I never once noticed him doing it. I know that I would have asked about it.
I consider him to be a throwback to the idealistic but idiotic social liberals of the Depression/Post-WWII era. Not necessarily dangerous, and not all that influential anymore, if they ever were.
I still sing to my son one of his little ditties: "What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?" Of course he put in some anti-Establishment claptrap, but who says we have to believe that? :)
He also sang a delightful old Woody Guthrie tune:
I'm Gonna Mail Myself to You (Woody Guthrie) I'm gonna wrap myself in paper I'm gonna dot myself with glue Stick some stamps on top of my head I'm gonna mail myself to you I'm gonna tie me up in a red string I'm gonna tie a blue ribbon too Climb up inside my mailbox I'm gonna mail myself to you When you find me in your mailbox Cut the string and let me out Wash the glue from off my fingers Stick some bubblegum in my mouth When you find me in your mailbox Wash the glue from off my head Fill me up with ice cream sodas Tuck me into a nice warm bed. I'm gonna wrap myself in paper I'm gonna dot myself with glue Stick some stamps on top of my head I'm gonna mail myself to you
That's funny. I thought that everybody knew that David Rockefeller secretly ran the world!
Um, wasn't he the basis of Sauron in Lord of the Rings? Or was that John D. Jr.? Or maybe John D. Sr.???
Other than the people that I work with, I don't know a thing about trolls and hobbits.
