This is big.
It’s big now and it’s going viral, but it could get even bigger.
Maybe not but perhaps this could be one of the biggest moments (in culture) since the trucker convoy crossed Canada.
And in this instance, it’s being done single-handedly by 1 country boy from Farmville, Virginia.
Have you heard about him yet?
Oliver Anthony.
Almost nobody knew this guy a week ago.
Now he’s got the #1 song on iTunes.
He’s got 3 of the top 4.
He’s even got 8 of the top 21.
He’s being discussed on morning radio shows, written about inĀ Rolling Stone, talked about on television, and praised among good company.
Incredible. This is a meteoric rise. The type only possible in this day and age when content that’s emotionally moving gets shared far and wide in an instant.
Oliver’s hit song, Rich Men North of Richmond, has already caused the Loony Left to start melting down – so you know it’s good!!!
Here’s a link to Oliver’s first live performance since becoming “famous”.
The venue, Morris Farm Market (Barco, North Carolina), situated on 25 acres, was filled with people and cars.
If you haven’t heard it already you must hear it. Watch now.
Oliver kicks things off by reading, struggling to hold back tears, Psalm 37:12–20.
Amen.
This is a spiritual battle.
It’s a battle for hearts and minds.
Often times we wouldn’t mind having “more”, but how often are we grateful for what we’ve already got?
Several months ago Oliver probably had aboutĀ 2,000Ā fans.
By month’s end he could haveĀ 20,000,000!
Hmm…I can’t imagine why Rich Men North of Richmond is resonating with tens of millions of people, can you?
The left-wing ruling elites, obsessed with control, are trampling on everyday Americans (and Canadians), and we’ve had enough.
Times are tough.
People are struggling to get by. What they’re making, with inflation still running hot, is just barely enough.
There’s more to life than just working and paying bills, but tens of millions of people are just barely making ends meet.
Given inflationary pressures, the number will keep growing.
When, or if, the leniency on student loan payments is removed, 56% of people surveyed said they’d have to choose between paying their loan or buying groceries.
The crooked mainstream media will tell you the economy is creating all these “new” jobs. It won’t tell you many people are needing a 2nd or 3rd job because 1 job isn’t enough.
That’s “Bidenomics”.
Lord, it’s a damn shame what this world’s come to.
After reading a well selected verse from the Bible, Oliver goes on to teach a little lesson in household level economics and politics.
The people get it. They feel it. Many of them are living it. And even their individual freedoms are being attacked by a ruling class that will do anything it sees fit to impose their will, even throwing the leading candidate of the political opposition in jail if they have to.
This isn’t just country music – it’s music for our country.
Rich Men North of Richmond has also been termed “the anthem of normalcy”.
Amazing reminder of how powerful and emotionally-moving music can be.
Comedy can also be powerful.
Prayer is powerful.
Art and architecture can move people, too.
Is it any wonder why they (the Loony Left) hate Oliver’s song?
Are we surprised they have a visceral reaction to prayer/Christianity?
I don’t think so.
They promote ugliness and divisiveness.
Divide and conquer. Trample individual rights.
Push ’em toward poverty, which means dependency and control.
We’re losing our Republic and it’s being destroyed by design, as America moves toward a totalitarian-style system or at the very least a Constitutional crisis.
If we’re going to turn the tide, a huge battle will be winning the culture war.
Songs like this from 1 country boy in Farmville, in my view, are a powerful shot toward doing so.
Thanks for writing your message down and delivering it with such soulfulness, Oliver.
God is working through you, Bless you.

Thanks for sharing this Daniel. Our elitist liberal betters need to listen to Oliver. Only they won’t. They just can’t understand why the people aren’t happy with the crumbs they throw us. It is going to cost them the next federal elections in both Canada and the U.S. Thank goodness!

AE bucked the trend yesterday on news that TECK has upped its interest in the company to 19.9%…extends 2023 drilling…
Mr. Anthony Moreau reports
AMERICAN EAGLE GOLD ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL C$2.67 MILLION FINANCING
Teck Resources Ltd. has agreed to make a strategic investment in American Eagle Gold Corp. through a structured flow-through financing on a private placement basis.
The company will issue 5.94 million common shares on a flow-through basis at a price of 45 cents per share for issue proceeds of approximately $2.67-million. The flow-through financing structure provides for Teck to subsequently acquire the shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1.66-million, or 28 cents per share.
The offering proceeds fully finance an extended 2023 drill program and its 2024 drill program at its NAK copper-gold porphyry project near Smithers, B.C. No warrants or finders fees were issued in connection with the offering.
Immediately following the closing of the offering, Teck will hold 20.34 million common shares of American Eagle, or approximately 19.9 per cent of American Eagle’s issued and outstanding common shares, on a non-diluted basis. Teck currently holds 14.4 million common shares of American Eagle, or approximately 15 per cent of American Eagle’s issued and outstanding common shares, on a non-diluted basis.
Teck’s purchase of the shares is being made for investment purposes. Teck may determine to increase or decrease its investment in American Eagle depending on market conditions and any other relevant factors. This release is required to be issued under the early warning requirements of applicable securities laws. Teck’s head office is located at suite 3300 — 550 Burrard St., Vancouver, B.C., V6C 0B3. A copy of Teck’s early warning report may be obtained from Chris Stannell at 604-699-4368.
Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or before Sept. 7, 2023, subject to negotiation and execution of definitive documentation with the initial purchasers of the shares, as well as certain customary conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. The shares are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day following the closing date.
An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of the offering will be used to incur, on the company’s Canadian mineral exploration properties, eligible resource exploration expenses that will qualify as (i) Canadian exploration expenses (as defined in the Income Tax Act); (ii) flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures (as defined in Subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act); and (iii) as a B.C. flow-through mining expenditure for purchasers in British Columbia. The qualifying expenditures in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the offering will be incurred on or before Dec. 31, 2024, and will be renounced by the company to the initial purchasers of the shares with an effective date no later than Dec. 31, 2023. In the event that the company is unable to renounce the issue price for the shares on or prior to Dec. 31, 2023, for each share purchased and/or if the qualifying expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the company will, for such failure to renounce, indemnify each initial purchaser for the additional taxes payable by such subscriber to the extent permitted by the Tax Act as a result of the company’s failure to renounce the qualifying expenditures as agreed.
Pursuant to a prior agreement between American Eagle and Teck, and for so long as Teck’s ownership in American Eagle remains greater than 5 per cent of American Eagle’s issued and outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis, Teck holds certain investor rights, being an equity participation right to maintain its pro rata ownership in the company and certain information rights relating to the NAK project.
About American Eagle’s NAK project
The NAK project is in the Babine copper-gold porphyry district of British Columbia, near past-producing mines and with excellent infrastructure. Previous drilling at NAK revealed a large near-surface copper-gold system measuring over 1.5 kilometres by 1.5 kilometres. Historical exploration was limited to shallow depths, averaging 170 metres. In 2022, American Eagle’s 2022 drilling program explored deeper and discovered significant copper-gold mineralization. The objective for 2023 is to expand the known mineralized footprint at NAK and identify high-grade sources of copper and gold. The property is accessible by road, can be drilled year-round and is largely without helicopter support. The promising initial results make NAK an ideal candidate for further exploration. Drilling resumed in June, 2023, and the company released assays for its first hole (NAK23-08) of the 2023 program on Aug. 9, 2023. Highlights of the hole were 776 metres of 0.50 per cent copper equivalent from surface.
