www.99percentrecordings.com is a pioneering new electronic dance music label, with a mission to unite a generation and encourage a peaceful, democratic campaign against an unjust system.

It's hard to switch on a TV and watch the news these days without hearing the same old stories about trouble in the world economy. Ironically, despite the constant depressing news stream, the causation and reality of the world's debt problems goes largely unreported.

The governments are not admitting the root causes of the financial crisis, they're not tackling the practices or people that caused it, nor are they coming up with solutions to make the system fairer for all.

What they are doing is maintaining the status quo; preserving a failed system that only rewards the elite in society and one that forces the majority who elected them in to poverty.

Youth unemployment has hit 25%. There are very few jobs available!

The youth and poor of today face a very bleak future and this has the potential to create very big problems in our cities, towns and villages.

When there's nothing left to hope for, people start to forget about the rules and focus on their survival...

The super rich in this society continue to make obscene, unethical gains to the detriment of every one else.

This is wrong and undermines the very values and stability of our democratic societies.

We can't allow this injustice to go unchallenged any longer.

It must be challenged through socially responsible intervention!

Join our campaign.

Thanks for the feedback

Our FAQ's clearly state that all profits go to charity so maybe you missed that?

 http://99percentrecordings.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=discussion&action=display&thread=2

It's easy to dismiss or ridicule us but have you actually taken time out to read our campaign board and find out what we're trying to do?

Anybody that does will see what we're proposing makes a great deal of sense:

1) Stop occupying and protesting
2) Start a nationwide democratic movement
3) Expose the system for what it really is
4) Change it!

Perhaps we need to make the information easier to understand?

Maybe the idea of using the democratic system to better serve the majority, is seen as an ideology by some? Perhaps we have all lost faith in democracy!?

People don't have to buy our music to join this campaign! The bulletin board is hosted on a different site - meaning people can bypass our website completely.

We need to have a centralised place to share feedback and the responses we receive from MP's. This is how the data can be tabulated.

If the government/politicians aren't prepared to do anything about the clear case we've presented then that should give the public all the evidence they need!

We're encouraging the public to challenge the politicians in the issues that we present, get them to admit the problem and come up with another plan.

"1. Stop occupying and protesting !?! "
Really? This is what you stand for-
And then what? "Buy our records?" " business as usual"?

Points to note

15.02.2012 01:50

Firstly, we're not asking anyone to buy our music. We don't care if we sell any and we certainly don't expect to sell any to the homeless, anarchists, protesters etc...

We're trying educating a section of society who are completely unaware of the extent of the problems or indeed the causes of the crisis.

We'd really like to understand why it's so bad for a record label to speak out against injustice and encourage normal, decent people to campaign against it.

The mindless, ill researched, throw away comments that have been posted on this board are a symptom of the problem... and one of the reasons Occupy are finished!

This country now needs to unite over one single cause!

Why have specialist campaign groups? Why do we need an Occupy and UK Uncut? Aren't these groups campaigning for the same thing under different names?

If campaigners joined forces over the:

- State of the economy
- Government policy
- Corporate greed
- Regulation in the financial markets

Maybe we'd start to see progress!

People could actually get somewhere if they took some time out to actually learn about the economic problems and challenged the government sensibly! We stop focusing on the micro issues and think about the big picture, because the problems are linked to the economy. It powers everything! The austerity cuts, the cost of living, the amount of jobs available etc...

I think the 'supposed justice campaigners', who're supposed to care about all these issues, would rather run amok in the streets, than actually tackle the problems sensibly!

Their actions have alienated the public, when really, they need the public's backing to bring about change!

I suppose what would be left to kick off/moan about if the government actually started dealing with the problems ethically?

Maybe that's why you don't want this campaign?

"Justice campaigners" see that amok is being run!

Dear 99percentrecordings, I find your comments interesting. I think I see where you are coming from. So long as you don't lose your temper in the "feedback" [discussion] which i sense might ensue, then I feel sure that your relative position will become clear.
Be objective, be selective, be an asset to the collective.

Not especially radical.


wft?

15.02.2012 18:47

you take the name 99%

then you say "stop protesting and occupying" " the occupy movement has failed" "siop focussing on micro issues and look at the big picture" - so you strategy is to... err..? Write you to your MP!!!
