emimen joins the black bloc!

Eminems new video to his song 'Mosh', sees him join the black bloc and storm some grand building. once inside however, the bloc form an orderly queue to register to vote!


powerful stuff tho and will resonate with a big chunk of the US population.

the video made by people from the guerilla news network definately plays on the imagery of the black bloc as we see a few hundered hooded youths square up to riot cops.

interesting to see if mtv have the balls to put this on.

The balls?

It's not so much, do they have balls but will they make money from it. As they made so much through Michael Moore then the answer is yes they will show it. It's a pity it wasn't released a little earlier.

I don't like MM or MTV either, but try and be a bit more constructive. What makes you think that hes trying to tell people to riot then vote, mabey they trying to get at how rioting would have more of an effect than voting, mabey hes trying to say somthing else. Just because they riot the vote dont mean that what hes trying to get at. Think a bit more will ya, im fed up of anarchists so stuck to theire doctrine or whatever that they fail to even reconise things that could be in favor of them.

Eminem has released a new video of the cut "Mosh," from his upcoming album Encore. The largely animated video , produced in association with Guerilla News Network, opens with Eminem reading to schoolchildren in the shadow of the World Trade Center on 9/11, not unlike Bush did in Florida.

It then cuts to Eminem standing before a wall collaged with newspaper clippings and photos featuring headlines about Bush's foreknowledge of 9/11 (including the famous BUSH KNEW New York Post headline); the civil rights abuses of the PATRIOT Act; maltreatment of soldiers; war profiteering and even the Illuminati's all-seeing eye.

Eminem then rallies a crowd of youngsters to action, crying "F*** Bush!" as black helicopters buzz over. This is intercut with a scene of a soldier coming home only to immediately receive an order sending him back to Iraq. As Eminem calls Bush "this monster, this coward we empowered," one of the infamous "bin Laden videos" plays on a television set -- only to have OBL's backdrop collapse to reveal a giggling Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld on a Hollywood set.

The lyrics slam the government's "psychological warfare" as the animated Eminem leads a crowd of youth to a voting booth. But perhaps Eminem isn't cyncial enough here, as a word about the electronic voting scam machines would be worthwhile as well. At least Eminem hasn't fallen into the trap of endorsing Bush's sworn Bones blood brother Kerry, though he came a little too close for this writer's tastes in his new Rolling Stone interview.
