Metal Anarchy

With Donald Trump officially becoming the 45th president of the United States yesterday (January 20), Metallica’s Kirk Hammett has chosen to speak out against the new administration in a series of tweets. You can read his compiled statement below.

“Trump’s Inaugural Address
and his asking us to put America first sounds, to me, familiar to what was said in speeches going around Germany in the 1930’s …and later Russia in the 1940’s

Pay attention people !
Stand up for truth, compassion and togetherness.

Don’t settle for anything less.

Reject lies
Fear mongering
Misguided Anger

The system wants us divided, so it’s easier to control us emotionally.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

LIKE IT OR NOT, WE NEED EACH OTHER TO OVERCOME THE BIGGER THREAT…

And we all know what the threat is – people in power who are trying to deny us and our children and grandchildren a healthy green future REJECT AMERICAN CARNAGE

We are a better nation right now than ever, better than just 5 years ago! REJECT THE LIES FROM THE PEOPLE IN THE NEW ADMINISTRATON, THEY ARE THERE ONLY TO FEED THEIR OWN THIRST FOR GREED AND POWER

America never stopped being great!!

America is one of the wealthiest and most prosperous nations on the planet.

I’m proud of America!!

To say America is not great, that it lacks greatness, sets up a scenario for manipulation and control from others – pay attention people!

Remember the great America of today.

Then I’ll check in with you about America’s greatness in 6 months and we’ll see what’s changed.

The only people who deny CLIMATE CHANGE are the same people who stand to lose from renewable energy

This administration is thinking that it can just ignore CLIMATE CHANGE.

People, it now comes down to us to make up the difference..

Let’s not stand for their preaching lies about our Mother Earth –
DENY THE DENIERS !!!

THEY ARE THE EARTH KILLERS

REJECT the term Alt-Right, just another sneaky euphemism for white supremacy, call it what it is!

Don’t let them hide behind dishonesty!

One final thing –

If we don’t put up a fight we risk losing our rights..

Defend Democracy from those who want to crush it !”
