May 4, 1970 Kent State Shooting Remembered

Vyzygoth tells of the impact on students in 1970.

Devo co-founder Gerald V. Casale was there at Kent State as a protester.
Quoted from The Vermont Review:
"VR: Going back to your early days. You were present at the Kent State shootings in 1970. How did that day affect you?

JC: Whatever I would say would probably not at all touch upon the significance or gravity of the situation at this point of time -- it would probably sound trite or glib. All I can tell you is that it completely and utterly changed my life. I was a white hippie boy and then I saw exit wounds from M1 rifles out of the backs of two people I knew. Two of the four people who were killed, Jeffrey Miller and Allison Krause, were my friends. We were all running our asses off from these motherfuckers. It was total, utter bullshit. Live ammunition and gasmasks - none of us knew, none of us could have imagined... They shot into a crowd that was running away from them! I stopped being a hippie and I started to develop the idea of devolution. I got real, real pissed off.

VR: Does Neil young's "Ohio" strike close to your heart?

JC: Of course. It was strange that the first person that we met, as Devo emerged, was Neil Young. He asked us to be in his movie, The Human Highway. It was so strange - San Francisco in 1977. Talk about life being karmic, small and cyclical - it's absolutely true. In fact I just got a call from a person organizing a 30th Anniversary commemoration. Noam Chomsky will be there and I may go talk there if I can get away. I still remember it so crystal clear, like a dream you will never forget . . . or a nightmare. I still remember every moment. It kind of went in slow motion like a car accident.

VR: You said that the Kent State shooting sort of served as a catalyst for your theory of Devolution, which spawned Devo--

JC: Absolutely. Until then I was a hippie. I thought that the world is essentially good. If people were evil, there was justice... and that the law mattered. All of those silly naïve things. I saw the depths of the horrors and lies and the evil. The paper that evening, the Akron Beacon Journal, said that students were running around armed and that officers had been hurt. So deputy sheriffs went out and deputized citizens. They drove around with shotguns and there was martial law for ten days. 7 PM curfew. It was open season on the students. We lived in fear. Helicopters surrounding the city with hourly rotating runs out to the West Side and back downtown. All first amendment rights are suspended at the instant the governor gives the order. All of the class-action suits by the parents of the slain students were all dismissed out of court, because once the governor announced martial law, they had no right to assemble."

The Overseers

ART EMPIRE

John L. Eastman is the son of the famed entertainment lawyer Lee Eastman.

During the famous breakup of the Beatles, both Lee and John represented Paul McCartney. Paul had married into the family a year earlier, wedding John's sister Linda.

Pete Townshend of the Who said:

 "When I first got to New York I thought 'Oh, there are so many people!' But really, back then, there were a few people who had influence... in 1967, I felt Like I'd been slipped from one place to another. From London village to the New York village. And one of a handful of people again, with Linda very much one of them."

Although Lee Eastman was the preeminent entertainment lawyer in the U.S., John had yet to prove himself, having graduated only a few years earlier (New York Law School, 1964).

"I had to put my entire reputation - which was zero - on the line,' Eastman told students at a New York University law school roundtable event in 2004. 'But I outworked and out-thought the other side." -Evening Standard,August 10, 2006

Lee Eastman was the head of a large music publishing empire. "Head of a syndicate" was a phrase used to describe him at the time. He was equally large in the art world, both representing artists and collecting art.
“He was one of the most avid and active art collectors in America, and from the 1960s onwards, his collection was known and admired by everyone connected to the art scene.”
-Christie's Auction House, via the New York Times, November 27, 2007.

John Eastman worked with his father over the years and has continued practicing law through their firm, Eastman &  Eastman. John's own son Lee, now heads the day-to-day operations of MPL Communicatons, Paul McCartney's profitable music and publishing empire.

John Eastman is also Director of the National Music Publishers’ Association, Apple Records, and Director of ASCAP .

COMMUNISM

Along with his wife Jodie (Josephine), John Eastman is also on the Leadership Council of the New York Stem Cell Foundation. John is also on the Board of Directors.

Chief Executive Officer of the NYSCF  Board of Directors is Susan L. Solomon. Not only was she founding Chief Executive Officer of Sothebys.com and President of Sony Worldwide Networks, but her father was co-founder of Vanguard Records.

Her Uncle Maynard was the other co-founder of Vanguard. He wrote a book in1974 entitled "Marxism and Art", a dry compilation of writngs by Marx, Engels, a surrealist or two (Andre Breton- was  French communist, but parted ways later on) and other communist art critic types.

Uncle Maynard currently edits American Imago, established in 1939 by Sigmund Freud (Propaganda author Edward Bernays' Uncle) and still being published.

Maynard signed The Weavers to Vanguard.

Vanguard was known for its pivotal recordings of 1960's Folk and Blues recordings.

One producer to pass through Vanguard in the mid fifties was John H. Hammond. Hammond's mother was the grand-daughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt. Hammond grew up in a six-story mansion.





Hammond was a major producer and discoverer of musical talent. He discovered Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Benny Goodman and Pete Seeger.

Benny Goodman ended up marrying Hammond's sister Alice.

According to wikipedia:
 "Due to the various benefits and fund-raisers that Hammond hosted for the popular front, his name was often listed in The Daily Worker, a communist newspaper. Furthermore, his name often appeared on the letterheads of left-wing organizations for which he was a donor or member. However, Hammond was not a communist."

He probably wasn't a communist but he certainly went out of his way to promote them and in the charged 1950's era it would've been considered the same thing.

Pete Seeger, who Hammond eventually signed on to Columbia , was openly a communist and his group The Weavers ran into trouble for the same reason.

Hammond provided funds for transportation for a Soviet film company proposal, after being approached by communist organizer Louise Thompson.

Hammond's son (also John) became a blue artist on Vanguard. Junior helped Jimi Hendrix put a band together in 1966 and then got him gigs at the Cafe Au Go Go.

CIA COMMIES

Jodie Eastman is on the Board of Overseers on the International Rescue Committee.

From Spinwatch we learn:

"The KPO consisted of members of the right opposition, purged by Stalin in 1929 because of their support for Nikolai Bukharin, as opposed to the left opposition of Leon Trotsky. Among those purged was Jay Lovestone, the erstwhile head of the American Communist Party. It was Lovestone who formed an American section of the International Relief Association in 1933. His intention was mainly to aid his Right Opposition comrades, but in classic Comintern style, he ensured the board consisted mainly of progressive luminaries who could attract much wider support. Einstein was one of these (Chester, p.8)."

Founded by liberals close to Eleanor Roosevelt was the Emergency Rescue Committee.

"With US entry into World War Two, the American Government asserted its control over the refugee issue. the IRA and ERC merged to form the International Relief and Rescue Committee, financed largely by the National War Fund (Chester, 18-19)...With the onset of the Cold War, its refugee work became of interest to the newly emerging CIA as a potential source of intelligence and propaganda expertise."
Thank you,  Spinwatch

Eleanor Roosevelt and Vanderbilt scion John Hammond typify the very wealthy guiding supposedly grassroots people into endeavors that suit the aims of those with the power.

Antony Sutton's "The Bolshevik Revolution and Wall Street" exposes in detail how a few very  wealthy and powerful people, including FDR, made the Bolshevik revolution happen.





Current IRC  Overseers include William vanden Heuvel, father of Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel:





 Producer John H. Hammond wrote articles for the Nation early on.

TOWER of BABEL

William vanden Heuvel is a Council on Foreign Relations member, as is John Eastman, along with another, more infamous, IRC member James D. Wolfensohn, former World Bank President.

W. vanden Heuvel is also  past president of  Collegium International , appears to be an elite group of Globalists pushing for one-world government.

The Collegium International features intense imagery of the Tower of Babel by the artist Du Zhenjun.
The artist is interviewed by Collegium member Sasha Goldman:





One member, Stephane Hessel, was listed on a 2011 Foreign Policy magazine  top ten thinkers list for his book "Time For Outrage", which was cited as an inspiration for Occupy Wall Street.

 OLD PLANS

The whole communist movement through our society can be seen as one long battle in a series of battles of which the next in line appears to be Transhumanism.

Biblical

In 1960 Michael Harner took ayahausca and experienced this:

"As I tried to accept my fate, an even lower portion of my brain began to transmit more visions and information. I was "told" that this new material was being presented to me because I was dying and therefore "safe" to receive these revelations. These were the secrets reserved for the dying and the dead, I was informed.

I could only very dimly perceive the givers of these thoughts: giant reptilian creatures reposing sluggishly at the lowermost depths of the back of my brain, where it met the top of the spinal column. I could only vaguely see them in what seemed to be gloomy, dark depths. Then they projected a visual scene in front of me. First they showed me the planet Earth as it was eons ago, before there was any life on it. I saw an ocean, barren land, and a bright blue sky.

Then black specks dropped from the sky by the hundreds and landed in front of me on the barren landscape. I could see that the "specks" were actually large, shiny, black creatures with stubby pterodactyl-like wings and huge whale-like bodies. Their heads were not visible to me. They flopped down, utterly exhausted from their trip, resting for eons. They explained to me in a kind of thought language that they were fleeing from something out in space. They had come to the planet Earth to escape their enemy. The creatures then showed me how they had created life on the planet in order to hide within the multitudinous forms and thus disguise their presence.

Before me, the magnificence of plant and animal creation and speciation-hundreds of millions of years of activity-took place on a scale and with a vividness impossible to describe. I learned that the dragon-like creatures were thus inside of all forms of life, including man.() They were the true masters of humanity and the entire planet, they told me. We humans were but the receptacles and servants of these creatures. For this reason they could speak to me from within myself."
"These revelations, welling up from the depths of my mind, alternated with visions of the floating galley, which had almost finished taking my soul on board. The boat with its blue-jay headed deck crew was gradually drawing away, pulling my life force along as it headed toward a large fjord flanked by barren, worn hills.

I knew I had only a moment more to live. Strangely, I had no fear of the bird-headed people; they were welcome to have my soul if they could keep it. But I was afraid that somehow my soul might not remain on the horizontal plane of the fjord but might, through processes unknown but felt and dreaded, be acquired or re-acquired by the dragon-like denizens of the depths.

I suddenly felt my distinctive humanness, the contrast between my species and the ancient reptilian ancestors. I began to struggle against returning to the ancient ones, who were beginning to feel increasingly alien and possibly evil. " 

Revelation 12:7-13

King James Version (KJV)

⁷ And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
⁸ And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
¹² Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
¹³ And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
