Composer Phil Barish
A critical message from this composer before anything else:
If the 3 branches of U.S. government only exist BECAUSE of The People, why do people seem to consider government to be BIGGER than they are? The U.S. Constitution BEGINS with 3 words: “‘We The People’ – affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens. The supremacy of the people through their elected representatives is recognized in Article I, which creates a Congress consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives.” senate.gov - (This was the direct footnote link text on the landing page of senate.gov as of November 2nd, 2025. As of November 4th, 2025, this landing page has changed.)
Currently, we have an acutely collapsed congress.
Historically, only PEACEFUL response by THE PEOPLE has mitigated governments that raced to overcome their own people and their liberties. In this first half of the 21st century, the urgency to respond PEACEFULLY and CONSISTENTLY will preserve the FREEDOMS and LIBERTIES that ALL OF THE PEOPLE in America have assumed to be theirs no matter who they voted for. Communicating an understanding and perspective of what moved a majority of people to either sit out or actively vote against their liberties, must be an equal effort with the response itself - during (and forever after) this peaceful and consistent response.
The economic disparity that has developed and become cemented over decades has been a fundamental force for increasing anger and decreasing opportunity for a discerning education. A balance between aspirational capitalism and hyper-capitalism has been sufficiently neglected in America to finally bring longstanding authoritarian sentiments to the fore. It brings a simple question to all of us that are complicit: What kind of life can we really expect if only some of us can thrive while the rest significantly struggle or worse?
The 1987 film, Wall Street “artistically” expressed, “Greed is good.” In 2025, we have indiscriminate masked men in the streets, immunized extrajudicial executions on the high seas, increased hunger HERE AND ABROAD, increased economic disparity from taxes disguised as strength, magnified distortions of religion, and an overall ulcerative continuation of the accelerated 1987 trends to destroy while “building.”
As of this writing on November 2nd, 2025, the current president of the United States just stated during a CBS 60 Minutes interview that the fierceness of the recent immigration measures in American cities have “not gone far enough.” Clearly, the opposition response in those cities has not been chaotic enough to move the current president to proceed with, as he points out seconds later in this interview, “the insurrection act” - which any thoughtful person should understand would be permanent as his personal coercive police force and is very much the plan. With this stated warning, the mantra that all of us must maintain is: DONT TAKE THE BAIT! - But absolutely continue to visibly, loudly and PEACEFULLY PUSH BACK!
