Freedom Concert

One of the things that’s been bugging me about the America Supports Orwell psyopfest is the conflation of the military with country music. Besides the Clint Black concert on September 11, DoD has also sponsored a country music series at the pentagon. See America Supports You “Salute” Concert Series Kicks-Off At the Pentagon Featuring Country Music Stars for more details.

I’m not the only one bothered by this. As the New York Daily News writes:

Whether or not a country music concert is appropriate for a day of mourning, I don’t know. The thing that rankles is that this concert will be beamed to our troops abroad, ostensibly as a morale booster. But ex-Marine Hoffman has his doubts.

“There were definitely some guys who still listened to country, but they were in the minority,” says Hoffman, who returned from Iraq last year. Most of the guys “are listening to rap or hard rock and metal.”

So why would Pentagon officials tap Black to perform? “They’re not playing to the troops,” says Hoffman. “They’re playing to who they view as their hard-core audience.”

In other words: red state voters right here in the U.S.

Why was Clint Black chosen for this event? Certainly not for his popularity in the DC music scene.
