Quote: |
“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." -Hermann Goering: Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, President of the Reichstag, Prime Minister of Prussia and Hitler's designated successor |
In Brief |
Xavier, who had been experimenting with different
styles of music utilizing basic sound programs on his PC, set
about to create a band. Beginning with a basis of songs he had
written in a period of depression, Xavier, with newfound friend
Nathan Etana, began crafting the beginnings of Area 51.
Fueled
by Xavier's intense passion for honest Democracy in a free thinking
society, the desire to incite the masses into "waking up" from
their dream-like states of consciousnesses, the realization of
the senselessness of war, and his intense faith in the goodness
and ability for progression of humankind, Xavier seeks to unite
the tired, poor, huddled
masses yearning to breathe free, to realize that vision in our
own lifetime.
Delta Orionis, Mintaka (05h32m -00° 18') means "the belt" which
is where this star is located in Orion.
Interesting Note: Xavier James Mintaka, born James Michael Menendez
is a direct decendant of Pedro
Menendez de Aviles the founder of
the oldest Spanish colony in the United States St.
Augustine Florida and Knight
of the Order of Santiago. Pedro Menendez's remains are held
in a Catholic Mission in the city of St Augustine at the Mission
el Nombre de Dios. |
