There Will Be No RescueExcerpt from the bookby Steve Aiken I do see things as black and white, right or wrong, good or bad. This is a basic Biblical principle. Because it is a principle laid down by God, the world system fights against it. This is just the natural order of things in the live or die spot we find ourselves in throughout the entire history of mankind. Like Billy Graham said to me personally so many years ago, we were placed here for a purpose. Life is not the lonely journey some have made it out to be. There is a cure for sadness; there is a cure for not feeling “connected.” MTV offers impressionable young people a temporary fix to these sentimental feelings. This void, this emptiness, was actually placed there by God as a means to help you seek Him out. Everyone who pays attention has those feelings to one degree or another. Every one of us has an empty feeling in us for more. More of what – we may not know. In the case of MTV’s rock-stars, rap stars, all stars – they may try to make people think they know the answers to life’s tough questions, but they don’t. The marketing geniuses at MTV have all but completely reversed the music industry. Individually cut singles from the latest albums and CDs are not released until or unless a decent video is ready to be seen on MTV. A good video coupled with a decent sounding song turns into megabucks if MTV plays it. In the old days, singles of records would be released and sent to various DJs who “supposedly” gave singles more air time based on the content of a song and requests by the listening audience. That utopic view of the radio music industry clearly gave way to influence pedaling and bribery, done mostly by fat white guys who claimed to be “Christians,” smoking their big fat cigars – or at least that is how modern moguls of music connected to MTV view them. Today there is a total reversal. Gangster rap feeds the most primal instinct of young people: Self! These “artists” are making millions through MTV marketers. But, sadly, few of them give back to the communities from which they rose. The “fat cat” DJs of yesteryear are now at the bottom of the pile, being told what to play and usually when to play it. MTV is all about power and positioning. MTV is not alone; there are several other competitive music markets as well. So as an entire generation is spoon fed by the likes of MTV and gangsta rap, we need to brace ourselves for what I believe will soon be the most selfish society in the world. Face it, people only had three feelings about the war in Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein. They blamed President Bush for being a power hungry oil grabber; they felt we should just mind our own business and take care of ourselves; or they were in favor of the war. Almost without exception, this selfish MTV society was 100% against the war in Iraq. Now whether you agreed or did not agree, you’ll miss the point if you worry about that. What you need to see is that an entire generation is being raised by MTV – a handful of angry liberals that hate all things conservative at every level and are amassing an army of liberals that will some day vote. Recently in my current hometown of Tucson, Arizona, a Latino woman was giving a speech to a captive audience of high school students when she made this incredible statement: “Remember, Republicans hate Latinos, ok? Republicans hate Latinos.” This is how free the left and those who would see the United States decimated from the inside feel in their ongoing quest to indoctrinate our children into helping promote a socialist/globalist society. The myth of global warming is another example that could take up an entire book in this regard. Steve Aiken lives in Tucson and is an Author, former Police Officer, Bodyguard, Washington DC lobbyist, Congressional Campaign Manager and Talk Radio Show Host.
