Children of The Third Millennium

Not looking for likes- looking for engaged viewership. Put your headphones on. Heed Flashes of heart breaking history to Remember - and most importantly Feel - an Expose played in echoing 'hallowed halls' .....against the racist manifest-destiny mindset of Empire.....a sinister evolution of dictatorial regime not exclusive to theists alone.  We live in the Echo-chambers of the inheritors of prosperity built on murder, genocide and slavery with the same denial distance would have granted the Nazis and Hirohito Japan if they won WW2.  Another angle of insight on the theme of Greed against Nature (Climate Change) in music video #1 Children of The Third Millennium.

Fanatics, enabled by pious tolerance, have successfully dulled empathy for their victims for all of human history.  Psychology's doctrinal systems - secularized equivalents of religious thought - also impersonalize the soul.  Humans are internally visual first before we think, therefore this composition deliberately uses public domain imagery for archetypal identification with the feelings, thoughts, and attitudes of all who have, and currently, suffer - defiantly, prophetically - from persecution by those who deny Soul. We ‘successful’ inheritors of the past - like our predecessors - are stuck in societies that blissfully rationalize compartmentalization to ‘normalize’ these atrocities.

I’d like to thank my family, friends, and the 1000’s of viewers (half before posting on Facebook) for my Climate Change musical visual statement "Children of the Third Millennium" posted below, whose critiques and encouragement moved my heart for this second creation.  I’ve been a Progressive political canvasser since 1981 and belong to a myriad of FB groups worldwide who inspire me to create reflective music videos.
