Well The Pig Is Flying Over London Again And Millions Reminisce The Late 1960s Rock Bands

"Pink Floyd" still lives in the music they created, as The Pink Pig flies again over London.  Only one of the many bands that influenced America's Pop Culture in that era.  The move from "Elvis" to "The Beatles", "The Bee Gees", and "Pink Floyd" was a quick one, for the 1960s began quietly enough, with Elvis and others bringing introductions to rock music. However, when the English Bands came to America's shores, it birthed a new revolution of sex, drugs, and psychedelic rock. This cultural transition, also affected the politics of the time.

Young people of that era were tired of hypocrisy, materialism, and conservative thinking. Many were the product of the capitalism their parents practiced. They had money to spend, and didn't know the deep poverty of their grandparent's generation, and some of their own parents, who went through the great depression. Most had no knowledge of the human suffering in the Soviet Union, and Lenin's deaths of millions. The ideology had spawed through education in the United States, funded from 1913 forward by foreign entities.

To the "hippie" generation, it was "Imperialism" at fault for everything from racism to laws against drugs, and in their desire to liberate man from this huge oppression they occasionally became violent. They touted "Revolution", as the answer. People like John Kerry and Jane Fonda collaberated with North Vietnam, and received public commendations from the nation's leaders, for their help.

The majority lived out their rebellion in the music, and the drugs of that time. A few  went on to join organizations like the "Weather Underground", to bomb the the Pentagon. The "Students  for A Democratic Society" (a Marxist Org) had about 100,000 members, before the so called dismantle in 1968.  A former member in Washington, DC explained in her book, that the agreement was they go into education, politics, executive corporations, and Wall Street to eventually bring America to it's knees. Most were believers in "the Cloward-Piven Strategy", and breaking the system, through overload, of welfare, and social programs, etc.

 The anarchists had a desire to "terrorize" the establishment into change, as Ernest "Che" Guevara had done by calling for Revolution in Latin America, especially Cuba. Che was close to Mao in China, and wrote friendly letters to Fidel Castro, of his plans to bring help to Castro.     The playbook of the  Vietnam War protest was to humiliate our soldiers, with rotten eggs, and spitting on them, as they returned from war. The music was loud, and the lyrics shouted their independence from the 'status quo', and the oppressive  US government.  Students just felt that police officers (pigs as they were called) were arms of a fascist society.  Karl Marx "Communist Manifesto" was popular assigned reading among College Professors.

Now we face a new call for Revolution, and it seems a resurrection of the former music, all part of the strategy to deliver us from the "Imperialism" of Our Country, who has liberated more people through freedom than any other nation.
