I seem to recall Lenny Kravitz
telling Arsenio Hall that the.
Antichrist was coming and may
already be roaming the Earth

Arsenio Hall got all uncomfortable
and went “ooooh-kay...”

But that about 25+ years ago

It was CERTAINLY Arsenio Hall there

It surprised me because I did
not expect that from him

I’m pretty sure that it was
Lenny Kravitz but it’s been awhile

If so I’m surprised to see him
on the list of performers

[SaveFerris]

Yeah

[dfwgator]

Lenny was the one who did the remake of “Give Peace A Chance” that MTV played ad nauseum when Operation Desert Shield started.

[AppyPappy]

His mother was Helen Willis on The Jeffersons.
He is a Christian and supposedly “Go My Way” was inspired by that.

[SaveFerris]

Could very well be

[SaveFerris]

Oh I didn’t know that

[joshua c]

Global commies

[SaveFerris]

Al Roker is her cousin?

[SaveFerris]

“Global Socialist Citizens” they’ll say

[SaveFerris]

Al Roker (cousin once removed)

And this was going to be my comment on the original
thread regarding the 2014 Global Citizen Festival

Be a Good Global Citizen...They'll say...

AI Overview:

Barack Obama called himself a
"fellow CITIZEN OF THE WORLD"
on July 24, 2008.

And the Mindless worshiped Obama
with the "O" hand symbol at the
2014 Global Citizen Festival on
the Great Lawn in
Central Park, New York City.

September 27, 2014

(More than 100 countries around the World 🌎🌍🌏 have a National ID card.)

Just wait until Real ID is part of a GLOBAL DIGITAL ID. It may already be happening (?). It wouldn't surprise me.

And then National Digital Currency becomes part of Global Digital Currency.

Think it can't happen? I think it will become more common the closer the World 🌏🌍🌎 gets to the fulfillment of Daniel 7:23.

Global Citizen Digital I.D....

MSNBC and NBC News sponsored the Global Citizen Festival in 2014 - not sure about other years



The 2014 Global Citizen Festival was the one where the whole audience worshiped Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama when his image appeared on the screen in front of them (pre-recorded video)



Look at nearly every mindless person in that audience.

Appears that the cop, state trooper, security aren't doing it. Maybe a couple of others. On the far right side.

Manchurian Candidate Democrat Barack Hussein Obama may not be the Antichrist but he does an excellent impersonation of him

Collins Obinna Chibueze (born May 9, 1995) known professionally as Shaboozey, is an American singer. His music combines country, Americana and hip-hop. After releasing two albums, Lady Wrangler (2018) and Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die (2022).

Many black entertainers now identify somehow as western. Wearing cowboy hats and boots etc.

The country music industry has allowed these non traditional acts to infiltrate the country music genre for quite some time now.

IMO much of country music I hear nowadays is unlistenable.

“hick hop” is actually a thing.

FYI

[oldtech]

They would have to pay me to go to this & even then I’d probably take the money & then stay home.

[oldtech]

I would have to agree with you since Waylon died. So wish he was still with us.

[lefty-lie-spy]

There’s not one name in there that I have any idea about what they do. I assume they are “musicians” of some sort.

I’ll stick with my current calendar of brilliant local rock and blues, metal and punk bands I’m going to see around Tokyo the next couple weeks.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Ping, and Dittos!!

[Flaming Conservative]

Isn’t Wyclef Jean a conservative?

[SaveFerris]

👍👍

[SaveFerris]

Dunno

I thought that Wyclef Jean did a cover of
‘Fortunate Son’ which was used in the remake of
“The Manchurian Candidate” (2004)

It was supposed to be about Bush and Haliburton

I didn’t like the movie at the theater but I’ve probably watched it 20 times on my DVD 📀

She’ll never admit it but Meryl Streep IS
acting and looking just like
Hillary Diane Jezebel Rodham Clinton
in that movie - Great job by Denzel

Meryl Streep was pretty good but Jerry Seinfeld
said she’s a phoney-baloney (on the show 🤣)

Hey I got it correct

AI Overview:

Yes, Wyclef Jean covered Creedence Clearwater Revival’s classic song “Fortunate Son” for the soundtrack of the 2004 film remake of The Manchurian Candidate. His R&B and hip-hop-influenced rendition gives a very different, modern spin to the 1969 rock original.
