The Rokkenrohl Revolution
Mr Leeroy Rokkenrohl is putting together a film that will "voice the opinions of Canadians opposed to the American (war/struggle for power) bullying that has gone on for too long."
CALLING ALL: What do you think of this? Share opinions here.
If you have music/artwork to submit to the film, contact Mr. Rokkenrohl here: rokkenrohl@hotmail.com
Read on to discover Leeroy's motivation and intentions - click below.
Dear friends,
I know that I am usually a jackass and center my film and music ideas around funny material, but I am currently preparing to organize a project of a far more serious nature and would like to open it up to anyone interested in the cause. Please take the time to read this, I swear that it's not some crazy chain letter or useless petition and I don't want any money. These ideas are all from the heart of Leeroy Rokkenrohl.
As a Canadian, I have always been leery of the Great American Power Machine and the propaganda war that it has been waging on the rest of the world. Our generation has been witness to numerous events that have cast an unfavorable light on U.S. politics. I protested nuclear weapons with my mom as a young child. I have seen the damage the States has done in the Middle East in the 80's; not to mention 2 Iraqi wars in the 90's and now. The United States government seems to always have justified reasons concerning peace and freedom, but in recent years there is more and more evidence that Team America is simply out to conquer the world like some kind of new Roman Empire. What's worse is that they are now seemingly employing techniques of propaganda and torture reminiscent of the Nazi regime.
Facts have come to light about the repeated staging of attacks on American soil to sway the American public to back wars that are unjust. The U.S. has not set out to correct the corrupt aspects of communism around the world but instead it has been determined to destroy the concept all together because communist ideals interfere with the capitalist money making plan. I personally think that there are more important things in life than money like the freedom to disagree with the American way of life without fear of prosecution, torture and being labeled a terrorist.
My friends, I could not me more opposed to the conduct of the U.S. government and I am not a terrorist for feeling this way! This is my right as a peace loving Canadian citizen to oppose the FBI, the CIA, the secret capture and torture of free people and the domination of our planet by a country that has no right to preach its distorted moral views to anyone! I not only feel horribly sad for all of the innocent people around the globe who have been violated by Western politics, but I also have complete empathy for the millions of good Americans who are trapped in a dictatorship disguised as democracy! I am afraid that any number of countries will decide to wage a war against the United States and we will find ourselves right smack in the middle of WWIII.
I don't want to go to war! And, with the vast natural resources in Canada, it seems only a matter of time until the American nation tries to engulf our country. It's already happening and I sure as hell am not willing to become a part of what's going on down there!
The rest of the world needs to come together to oppose this insane corporate conglomeration that has hijacked the United States of America and the peacekeepers of Canada are the best nation to start the ball rolling. All this being said, it occurs to me that any big movement that has had success in the past has been pushed into the spotlight by the musicians and artists of the world. We might not be rich or have a mighty army, but we have the power of ideas and influence!
I feel blessed by the talents of my friends and so I am proposing a collective be formed. I am going to begin the production of a film that will voice the opinions of Canadians opposed to the American bullying that has gone on for too long. I would like for anyone interested to submit music and artwork, as well as opinions and facts to this project. If it can raise awareness and get the world working together to make the planet just the tiniest bit better for everyone on it, this project will be a success. If the decent people of Canada, America and the whole World continue to sit on their hands waiting to see what will happen, then we are no better than the terrorists who drive car bombs, the terrorists who fly airplanes or the terrorists who shield their secret agencies from the law and unjustly invade other countries for the sake of capitalism. It's time to make some big changes for the sake of our global nation! Who's in?
Leeroy Rokkenrohl

i think it's time a book was written about the usa (united snakes of america) i am ashamed to let people of other countries know i am american anymore. pres. bush has destroyed our foreign policy, gotten us into a war when he lied about weapons of mass destruction, is bringing down america really fast with high unemployment, high gasoline prices, totally abandoned the people and victims of the katrina disaster, and is still neglecting the victims. i know of one woman in particular that lost everything she had in new orleans and says that all the money that was donated to the red cross is not getting to the vicims, it is in the pockets of bush and his war machine. i remember reading the book "the ugly american" in the 6th grade, that book is so true today, so many countries just hate us for our war mongering, dishonesty and abuse to people in other countries when we travel. i can't wait to read this book, i'll take a socialogy class just so i can do a report on this book.
NOT PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN

well well well, it would seem that all the endless causes our mother made us fight as children, the boycots, the protests, the nuclear drills really paid off.
this all seemed strange to us in the 80's, our hippie mama, the crazy lady who cried when nelson mandela was released and made us promise that we would never forget what that meant to the human race "one planet, one people". i remember thinking that she was nuts and so were we and hoped like hell no one we knew saw us. i remember all the times it was hard to tell a friend that her parents were wrong, just simply wrong for their views on immigration or global politics, that we were really all the same inside.
after 20 years of progress we hope for our childrens sake that they are beyond the questioning of differences but then someone so evil comes along and only strengthens the ignorance that fuels these people.
can you blame the black widows, the sons of slain mothers and sisters of innocence. can you blame them for the way they feel about the "world's president". Why is the United Nations consistently ignored by this man. why do the american people not stand up and fight for their reputation. you send your sons to war when their families are murdered in terrorist acts, are the terrorists not simply sending their sons to war? and how do the american people not see what the rest of the world sees, their ignorance cant be bliss, they must feel that every time this idiot makes an address of the nation they are at risk of attack. every time Bush opens his mouth he spews hate and rage. why is his idea of "democracy" better for every nation.
in the short time that their has been a united states of america there has been slavery, war and pain for these people, is this the freedom that they want to share with the world. while he compares communism to the totalitarian state of nazi germany only able to focus on one style of communism, not the community living for the greater good, the right and left hand of the working class, these ideals scare bush because they threaten every dollar this man starts wars to protect. stalin's idea of communism was to bush's idea of democracy and freedom.
i wonder, what do the american people feel we are here in canada. we certainly are not the complacent cattle they are told we are, such as the muslims of the world are not crazy suicide bombers, but the bush administration would like the global opinion to be as such.i feel such great sympathy for the middle east, the bush administration will not stop until these people question every inch of their convictions or are destroyed completely, either way bush will break them down to compliance.
Phone taps, secret prisons, arrests based on cultural bias, banning of same sex marriages, tell me that this is not the slippery slope the rest of the world sees, tell me that this is freedom, freedom worth loosing your children over. tell me that our generation will not be complacent enough to look past this crime against humanity.
for my daughters sake i pray every day that the rest of the world will wake up to the reality of what is going on and stop this man before we are caught in a crossfire of catastrophic proportions. i know to my daughters her mother, father, uncles and grandmother are all crazy hippie mama's and were proud of it.
bless you big brother and look forward to the first completed copy of this eye opener.
your little sister rokkenrohl

Sister! Great piece! Reading this made me want to stand up and SALUTE!!! I personally have never had "nationalistic" inclinations. Borders are exclusive. I am an inclusive person. The world is a community sharing one planet. What we do affects all on this earth. Why is this so tough for the ignorant to see? Or. Why is it so easy for the evil to ignore this fact inside themselves.
We are all wealthy people.
Wealthy far beyond our needs.
We can make a change for humanity by sacrificing our own comforts.
Good bless your mother for the values she shared with you and your brother.
Much much Love!
"This party is inclusive,
Not exclusive!
All you hateful motherf#$kers ain't funny,
You're intrusive!
K K K your ass outta here,
Before I f*@k your girlfriend and my band drinks all your beer.
No.
I ain't pro black,
Ain't pro white,
Ain't pro anybody.
I love all you people just the same,
Better take it while you can 'cause this s#$t ain't a game..."
Strange Bargain, 2002.
