• Lk from PennsylvaniaIt always made me think it was a Red Dawn scenario. We were taken over by another country and didn't fight. But someday our children will and win back our country.
• Arejay from FlYou're not alone. Nothing stops what's coming. Nothing.
• Dw from PaGreat song and good info, except Carrack is not really known for his work with Roxy Music. He did a bit of session work from '78 to '81, but most people are not aware of that. He is better known for his work with Ace, Squeeze, and Mike and the Mechanics, plus his solo work (in that order).
• Pac Mac from FloridaThis song was written by vietnam vets, I was told regarding the fall of Siagon in 1972, there abouts. Very controversial and offensive for those who fought, and those who died to free the Vietnamese people. However, those vets, many had girlfriends they left there. My memory about this song seems right. But, if memory is faulty, tell me the back story, I would love to know if I'm right or wrong. Think I'm right though. Thanks! Any one.
• Jen from TexasGreat song. I heard it today for the first time in so many decades. This and Land Of Confusion are just two songs from the past that point to today's headlines and the people who read them. So many are still confused. One commenter here seems to fit the bill, sorry if that's upsetting. We need to step back from our preconceived notions and really try to discern the truth in these last days, because all MSM sources give more propaganda than most countries that are known for it. Our own resident brought up the NWO just the other day. Wake up before it's too late and the whole world is just like these songs. Take care and stay free.
• Artimus from CaliforniaYou know why you are here, patriot. You have seen what the tyrants have done. Rutherford said the song is about time travel. Indeed, the song contains instructions written in the 80's for the unfolding dystopia. Be prepared.
• Danny from CaliforniaKay said Newsmax plays Silent Running. Very odd. Newsmax is one of the reasons I'm worried about our country. I left Texas for California to be in a saner state, but ended up retiring in an almost as looney as Texas small town.
  
  Silent Running is science fiction. Using it in the U.S. Culture Wars is typical right wing misdirection. The lyrics mistrust church and state and dismiss patriotism. Yet the political right demands Evangelical votes but moral Evangelical values get betrayed. The right mixes the flag and the cross in an idolatrous slogan as if they are equal.
  
  I'll admit the right hates the state as a traditional pillar of society alongside business and the church. When the state resists oligarchy and supports democracy, it's attacked as the deep state.
  
  I recommend reading "American Nations".

  America has almost fallen to Trinidad plantation slaver values, but there is hope yet if people from the Left Coast, Yankeedom and the Midlands can resist the conspiracy theories, the anti-vaccinators, the deception foisted by oligarchs and the hatred of any narrative but that of Fifield and his anti New Deal ilk (he didn't even truly believe in Jesus).

  As a political moderate, born Midlander and follower of Jesus since 2008, I can only pray for this country torn apart by the political extremes.
• Rob from GeorgiaThis song from 1985 is prophetic. Trust has been lost in govt and churches and media. People are honoring flags that only serve to divide us. Pray to God is the only way.
• Kell from California Kay, I was thinking the exact same thing. Very scary.
• Kay from California This is happening before our very eyes. Newsmax plays it, my heart is heavy and sad with what is happening to our Country, in the USA.
