The song received massive radio exposure because it was created, from the beginning, to advertise what had purportedly just happened at Kent State. Everyone was supposed to think that some sort of 'mass movement' was the impetus for the saturation radio play which the song 'Four Dead in Ohio' received. So Manson's friend Neil Young was tasked with posing as a 'revolutionary dissident rocker' hippie and rushing his famous 'protest song' onto the radio. Most people secretly thought that the government would only resort to such desperate measures unless provoked and under real menacing threat. The missing 'between the lines' story, most assumed, was that some sort of 'psychotic hippie violence' had somehow sparked the shootings. They purportedly shot innocent students to prevent a 'violent people's revolution' from starting before it had even really started. The government purportedly shot Kent State University students, killing four, out of desperation to pre-empt some sort of 'out of control mass uprising' against the Vietnam War. justify the massive news coverage that the case would receive.Ī year later the fake Kent State shootings were staged. The prominence of Sharon Tate helped the govt. agents, who were tasked with posing as insane hippies and pretending to murder Sharon Tate. The government was hell-bent on associating the 'anti-war' movement with anarchy. So the picture emerges of what really happened now. Neil Young and Charles Manson were both part and parcel of the same Laurel Canyon 'out of control hippie madness' intel operation. It is no coincidence that Neil Young knew fellow psy-op artist and 'hippie' Charles Manson. When its staring them in the face about how they spent a large portion of their lives. People are going to have to face reality, no matter how uncomfortable reality may make them when its staring in them in the face. In case you ignored that or dismissed that, lets repeat it again. The big 1960s rock radio stations were owned and operated and staffed and directed and SCRIPTED by the very 'governing class' which all you naive kiddies thought that these stations were 'standing up to'. These operations were not created by anything other than the economically-dominant.
Those who would dispute that do not have a clue how much money and technology goes into creating, transmitting, and maintaining a powerful-bandwidth commercial radio station. The radio stations were licensed, owned, governed and staffed by the mega-rich. There was no 'radio revolution' going on. They will not want to admit, or even consider, that their vaunted 'rebellious' teens and youths were wasted in falling for a govt.
I can imagine the 'eye rolls' from all the stoners who will resent hearing this. So the only explanation for its receiving such heavy radio play was because it was a 'project' song of the govt.s', and was put on heavy rotation by the covertly govt.-controlled radio stations. It was not an aesthetically pleasing song for rock radio. To rise against the government to avenge 'the victims of Kent State' etc.,Īnd in my opinion it was a deliberately weak-sounding 'whimper of protest' song which was given saturation radio play in 1970. 'Four Dead in Ohio' was a purported 'call to arms' to his hippie brethren (The voice of Neil Young always sounded as though he'd just been kicked in the balls by Jim Morrison about ten times before entering the studio). The song featured Young's anemic sounding voice. As usual.Īnother red flag for me here is that Laurel Canyon hippie musician Neil Young was quick to help out in hyping the drama with his 'Four Dead in Ohio' song. In my opinion it was fake, it never happened, no one really died. Re: the Kent State University war protester shootings by the National Guardįalse flag/hoax, whatever.
