Widely know as a band never afraid to speak their mind, Poker Face are as passionate about their music as they are about their beliefs in mankind and world developments. It seems fitting that in this festive season, a time we all look back at the times past and forward to the times to come, that we take time out to talk with Paul about what's important in their lives right now. MM
- Firstly,
thank you once again for taking the time out
to do this interview with us. Poker Faces -
LOCAL SOLUTION a step in a positive direction We currently have a system in place that encourages the big Corporations to get bigger everyday, while eating they up all the little guys and independents along the way. “There can be only ONE ...” mantra comes to mind. All this does is stifle competition, creativity while pushing the prices thru the roof. The more producers there are, the cheaper the cost of the good made. That’s a good thing. WE also have a system in place where the Corporations control or own the governments of the world, instead of the other way around. If there was ever a real need or purpose for something like the United Nations to exist, would be for it to control Big Business and how it affects or infects societies through out the world. Not this meddling in the affairs of independent and Sovereign nations as it does now like little wannabe tyrants. These GLOBAL CORPS need to be reigned in, broken up and made responsible for REAL damages to the people they use and abuse. This current global economic system DOES NOT LIKE COMPETITION. They will use the laws of each country to dissuade or outlaw the competition out right. Again, we see the battle between good and evil being played out. On one side you have LOVE and life, and on the other you have HATE and Death. We know that mankind can grow itself free from these parasitic Plutocratic Industrialists that keep us down thru basic economics, if we the people were just given a fair chance in this life. These Plutocrats keep our farmers from growing the bountiful and financially rewarding crop of HEMP. HEMP, which would compete with every one of their Petrochemical-Pharmaceutical-AgriCorp businesses and products. HEMP would allow for the commoner to be a part of Gods economic pie, not just the few who continue to concentrate the wealth into their greedy and inhumane pockets. Remember this expression … “What ever you can make out of a Hydrocarbon (Oil/Petrochemical) you can make the same product out of a carbohydrate (HEMP)”. Dead lifeless products that have to be pumped/shipped/refined and delivered versus the farmer growing the natural resource that everyone in the community will use - HEMP (Life) that would be best for the environment and ecology. America could grow
itself free on GRASSOLINE alone, apart from the food, fibre, paper,
clothing etc that can be made from HEMP as well. Many producers
that would be a part of the life cycle that continually recycles itself
and rewards those that invest their time and energy into. It is a
better way, and Poker Face would like to be at the forefront of creating
a society headed in that direction. Working with Gods creation,
instead of abusing it, as our current decadent leaders allow.

Created by the same Machiavellian Satanic man god wannabes that are goose stepping us towards a tyrannical Global Order. Where individuality and freedom are looked down upon, while “We are all one” – Borg like mentality is encouraged and programmed into our people. Scarorism and the MI6/Mossad/CIA created Scarorists are used to scare the sheople of the world on their whim, into giving up all of their God given Rights in the name of peace and security. If we do that, then we will not be free, safe or secure. But we will have created a Dictator in the end, whose abuses will exceed anything Lenin/Stalin/Hitler/Mao ever did. What if I told you that the current events playing out today were planned over a century ago? The highest-ranking mason of his day Albert Pike (author of Dogmas and Morals) collaborated with Giuseppe Mazzini in crafting the 3 world wars that would be fall man in the coming decades and centuries. http://www.threeworldwars.com/albert-pike.htm The plans to scare or convince we the people into giving up their individual sovereignty where fine-tuned at Iron Mountain in the early 60s. The rest has been played out on our teebees for our consumption and mind shaping. Currently the TV series Jericho is getting the sheople pre conditioned to a nuclear event going off in our country, so that when it happens, the sheople will shake their heads and accept what ever the criminal cartel running our government tells them to do.
So to answer your question, no our views haven’t changed. They have gotten more refined, and focused on the criminal parties involved and the plans they have in store for the rest of us, who just want to live our lives in peace “from the man”. MM
- On ‘Made In America’ there was an
excellent multi media section included on the album, will the new album
have a similar addition? But,
we are always first about the music, so if time and money allow for it,
it will be done. If not on disc 5 – PEACE OR WAR, then on the
following disc #6 TBA. Right now, we feel a lot of pressure
from our fans and friends to put out the new tunes, because bottom line,
the tunes are what grab your attention first. If after that, if
the listeners are curious about our beliefs on Freedom Vs. Tyranny
we like having additional eye and ear candy to entertain them while they
are being educated into the side of TRUTH and Freedom. That’s why we currently have 24 new tunes that we are recording. The song writing has been done for disc #5 over 2 years ago. We are trying to remedy this by buying some of our own recording gear so we can do the basic tracking at our home studio. We will continue to work with our friend Eric Beebe and maximize his time tools and skills to mix it and possibly master the disc at The Farm. Once we have the recording side working fluidly, then expect to see discs at a rate of every 2 years at a max. We definitely don’t lack in making new songs up. Our Creator has blessed us in that respect, that we are continuously writing more and more music. In the making of disc #5 PEACE OR WAR, we have had a lot of changes and commitments come into our lives, from changing jobs, to moving to new houses, to having 2 little poker heads being born to our 2 drummers Richy and Howie. It has affected our touring and practice schedules to say the least. We are all in our late 30s, and it's baby making time, in creating the next generation of musicians from our camp. MM
- If one of the band members was
given the chance to run for political office, who do you think would be
the best candidate and why? When it comes time to voting we are offered for the most part 2 horrible candidates, where most of us choose the lesser of two evils. That means we are still choosing evil. We don’t elect anyone, we merely (s)elect one of two owned ponies in said race. Lastly, it has been
shown that our new electronic voting machines are very easy to hack.
Diebold and ES&S provide over 80% of these insecure voting machines
to the US. 2 brothers Bob and
Todd Urosevich
are their respective owners. Recently
HBO had a special playing called Hacking Democracy This film showed how easy it is to hack the vote, especially when there isn’t any paper trail to verify the votes. As Stalin said, it is not important who votes, but who counts the votes. That is what is going on here in America. No matter who we choose, We The people, LOSE. The simple solution would be a paper ballot system, where ALL of the votes are counted at every precinct level, by each of the parties running. After all parties agree to the numbers, the paper is then scanned in with everyone’s signatures and put up on the web for all to see. Then, anyone in America could tally the votes for themselves, and there would be no question about the vote. It is inexpensive enough these days with WEB video sites like YouTube, where the whole vote counting process can be recorded and uploaded at the end of that day, so there would be no hiding of any step in the voting process. There should be total transparency in this most important aspect of choosing the countries next SERVANTS. Servants … that is a job description our elected representatives have forgotten long ago. They are the servants; we the people are the masters. Or another way to look at it, is, that we the people are the parents and government is the child, who currently needs a good kick upside its ass to remind them of their correct place in our political establishment. MM
- On a lighter note, what are the bands
expectations for the new album and do you have any plans to tour in
promotion of the new album when it’s released? As we continue to become better known through out our country and the world, we are beginning to get better gigs, further and further away from our home base. We are now getting flown to gigs that are too far away to drive in a weekend. That never happened until this year. And more gigs like that are coming. We hope to finally make it to the west coast, and southern states of the United States in the near future. We have a lot of fans that never get to see us. And now, groups are banding together with their events to pool their resources to make the gig happen. We would love nothing more then to tour heavily through out our nation to support the new disc. WE have so many friends we have yet to do a face to face with. Like you and Poker Face, we have corresponded back and forth over many years. It would be cool to hang out with you at a pub in the UK and throw back a pint or 2. For example, Barry, you, are a brother from another mother, whom we haven’t met in person, but will feel like we have known each other forever. We would like more of that free time to do just that. MM
- What’s the most important thing to
the band at this moment in time? Spiritually what is most important to us, is, to continue to grow in knowledge of our Christian faith. And that is to study the Word of GOD called the Bible. We are not into the systems of Religion and the man made traditions that make the WORD of God null and void. We also refer to religion as the Bureaucracy of the Souls, Churchianity, or Religion Incorporated. Lately it seems as though Satan has entered the churches/temples/mosques of God and feels quite at home in them. Or so it would seem with many of the recent scandals in all faiths that have made the news worldwide. Politically what is most important is to continue the process of using the same tools the elites use on us, against them. By waking up one sheople at a time to the ruse that it is NOT a left/liberal/democrat/communist VS. right/conservative/republican/fascist fight, but one of Freedom & Liberty VS. The Forces of Tyranny/Police State wannabes. That is the true divide. Anything else is just … Talk talk. As a band we want to continue making more and more music. In whatever style or variety that amuses us at that time we are making it. If it isn’t fun, then why bother. It then becomes a job. For Poker Face, it has always been fun, and the brothers that make up this band make it so. If only you could hear some of the shenanigans and craziness, heard on many of our practice tapes. The few friends that have heard snippets of our antics, have asked us to put out a disc of just that. Pure unadulterated comedy at its best. Which leads us to another area we would like to begin exploring and that is video. We are working towards bringing video content into our shows to supplement the ideas and thoughts relevant to the subject we are singing about. We would also like to do a Poker Face Reality show for shits and giggles, because comedy is one of life’s true blessings. One can never have enough laughter, and that is one thing we are full of. MM
- In the last
interview you wanted to bring forth a Poker Face show on par with the
likes of Pink Floyd, is the band any nearer that goal? REVOLUTIONARY GOD ROCK. The really sad thing, or maybe even twistedly funny is that NONE of the Christian labels we have contacted over the years will distribute our music, or sign us. We are deemed to hottt!! And politically incorrect to touch. Also over this last year especially, we have been contacted personally by some of “the greats” in the music biz. Some of our newest fans have sold millions upon millions of records, while others contacting us have produced/recorded some of the best records/cds many of us have listened to over and over again. There is even some talk of collaborating on some new music with a couple of our new friends. Hearing will be believing, and we will leave it at that for now. MM
- Finally, thanks for taking the time
out to do this interview and do you have any messages or words of wisdom
for your fans out there? Second, live your lives for freedom. My level of freedom depends on others knowledge and understanding of it and the practice of it. What you don’t use, you will lose. Third, question EVERYTHING that comes out of a politician’s mouth as well as bankers, lawyers, judges, teachers, preachers and the stoopid box, aka the television. Remember they don’t call it TELEVISION PROGRAMMING for nothing. The elites choose their words very carefully and usually do things in plain site. So yes we ARE being programmed daily, by the mind shapers of the anti-God Pop-Culturalists of GLOBAL CORP. Fourth – Do a random act of kindness daily, with out wanting payback. Give and forget, and see how much God blesses your individual life. Lastly Love your brother/sister like yourself. Do unto others, and be the Example for all of those around you, to emulate. Remember, most people are followers. If we want a better society, then sometimes you need to lead and be that catalyst for a better tomorrow. Smiles do wonders, try it sometime and see. Peace and Yah bless Paul
and all of Poker Face MM - We'd like to wish Paul and all the Poker Face guys a safe and blessed Christmas and look forward to hearing the new albums when they are completed. |
