Corporatised Totalitarianism.

       What a wonderful Grammy award acceptance speech by the New Zealand singer song writer Lorde. It is not often that we hear such truths spoken in the midst of expensive suits, dickie-bow ties, thousand pound dresses, and champagne. Perhaps she can put her speech into song form, and try to blast it to No.1
This from Snoopman News:
     Thank you soo much everyone for making this song explode because this world is mental. (Laughter). Planet Earth is run by psychopaths that hide behind slick marketing, ‘freedom’ propaganda and ‘economic growth’ rhetoric,[1] while they construct a global system of corporatized totalitarianism.
     As American journalist Chris Hedges has identified, a corporate totalitarian core thrives inside a fictitious democratic shell.[2] This core yields an ‘inverted’ totalitarian state that few recognize because it does not look like the Orwellian world of Nineteen Eighty-four.[3]
     This corporate totalitarian core is spreading outward from America. Planet Earth is being rapidly militarized by the world’s major and significant states, including their police forces.[4] Meanwhile, state surveillance is becoming universal[5] and torture is outsourced to gulags.[6]

  1. This seems to be satire to me. I've been looking for some video, or confirmation from this from sites other than "Snoopman News", and there doesn't seem to be anything that validates that this actually happened. Her actual speech seems to pretty much just say some trite shit like “Thanks folks, you’re really an inspiration to me.”

    Was this supposed to be a joke, or am I missing something?

    1. There is an explanation here; http://snoopman.wordpress.com/2014/02/06/clipping-queen-bees-wings-lordes-real-grammy-speech-suppressed/ Other than that I can't find anything else and since I wasn't there and don't know anyone who was, I can't say any more. However if she didn't say it, it was still a wonderful piece to be circulated as it does say so much about today's world.
