MATERIAL GIRL IN A POLITICAL WORLD: MADONNA PLANS VIDEO TO PROTEST WAR, BUSH
**Exclusive**
Madonna is hoping to cause maximum controversy with a new video from her forthcoming CD, AMERICAN LIFE, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
Editing is in progress on a musical video concept which insiders say may be the most shocking anti-war, anti-Bush statement yet to come from the showbusiness industry.

"She's taking it all the way this time," one source said from Los Angeles over the weekend, "pushing all of the buttons... It is a sweeping political commentary on the modern 'American Dream' and how 'nothing is what is seems.'"
The song will be released to radio next week.
Dressed in commando fatigues, Madonna throws grenades as the techno terror beat pounds, claims a source. Limb-less men and women are reportedly shown, with bloody babies.
One disturbing clip features Iraqi children.
Fashion models are mixed with soldiers; sex, violence and war, and new century sentiment.
Madonna spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg did not return repeated calls seeking comment.
The shock film for AMERICAN LIFE comes as Madonna returns to the musical spotlight with a CD of original songs, set for an April release.
"AMERICAN LIFE is about freedom of speech," claims an insider. "It examines not only war, greed and ego, but it's self-reflective also. Madonna rejects her 'Material Girl' image once and for all, and warns of life in a material world."

I hope more popular culture figure come out and take a stand against the war. It would help if they did real soon since the ability for us to stop this war is strongest before the war actually starts and even a short war will result in many civilians being killed.
I hope she does make a video...but it sure has taken the industry a long time to come out with a video from the pop music scene. Did she have to wait long enough for the general public to slant the Anti-War way before she would come out with a video?
This shows the utter moral bankruptcy of any leftist cause, that this talentless jackal now decides to pile on. I expect to see all of you supporting the war after this.
If he were alive today, he'd join the anti-capitalist Black Bloc. They are his kind of people.
John Chapter 2
[13] And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
[14] And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
[15] And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

I agree with "Blah" Madonna has shown a great talent for taking advantage of controversies and turning them into a dollar.
This is just a little note for all those who believe religion and morality are the same thing.
There's a quote in Acts too (one of the ones thats refered to in the Grapes of wrath).
Acts 4:32
And the multitude of them believed they were of one heart and one soul: neither said any of them that out of the things he possesed was his own; but they had all things in common.
..and in the NIV version I believe it acutally says that property was divided up and given to the deciples "to each according to his need." (from each according to his ability, to each according to his need)
Jesus was a leftist radical, but no more or less left and radical than Sidhartha Goutama (sp?), or than Ghandi, or Muhammad.
Almost all religious texts are at least midly socialist if not abjectly anarchist.
Budhism is Collectivist and Socialist, Taoism is quasi-anarchist, and Christianity is Collectivist and socialist, Judiasm was Anarchist for a while became somewhat Anarchist again at the time of Jesus, Islam in it's essential text is, at heart, socialist (and highly structured, it often can be much like Russian style Communism with a fundimentalist twist, but that's not when it's working at it's best).
Jesus and his followers were the first communists, and it would be more accurate to refer to Marx and Marxists as Jesusists.
Just something to trip on if you thought all religions were capitalist and fascist.

Madonna is a guilty rich person. She knows she does not deserve what she has, and so she projects it outwards, trying to destroy the people who gave it to her.
