interview w/ reverend billy on mountaintop revivalthe last two weeks have been a dark time for west virginia. on april 5th, an explosion at the upper big branch mine in montcoal killed 29 men & is the country's worst mining disaster in 40 years. but the day before the montcoal catastrophe was easter sunday and a group of activist/artists converged on nyc bank branches where they 'deposited' mounds of murdered dirt from coal river mountain on the floors of atm lobbies.

why? because we now know that the banksters at jpmorgan chase are behind 80% of the mountaintop removal in appalachia - and soon the rest of the world will know, too. this very special interview episode from media monarchy features a rousing conversation with reverend billy of the church of life after shopping. we're here to inspire you to bring your own murdered mud to chase so that we can begin the rebirth of west virginia & join together in a mountaintop revival!

rev billy placed 'holy hex' on jpmorgan over wv moutaintop removalfrom huffington post: A New York City preacher was arrested after placing a 'holy hex' on JPMorgan Chase. Protesting what he calls JPMorgan's financing for mountaintop removal in Appalachia, Rev. Billy Talen led his Church Of Life congregation in an Easter morning protest outside of a bank branch in New York City. Courthouse News has the details:

"Rev. Billy led his Life After Shopping Gospel Choir to two East Village Chase branches, where the singers 'deposited' mounds of 'sacred dirt from Coal River Mountain, West Virginia' on the floors of ATM lobbies. At the branch on St. Marks Place and 2nd Avenue, the choir performed a 'mystery channeling of money' as bank customers withdrew money, and the reverend/performance artist preached to a crowd through a white megaphone."

'what would jesus buy?'

'what would jesus buy?'from raw story: With Americans expected to spend about almost $500 billion this Christmas, ABC's 'Nightline' takes a closer look at one man trying spread the message that America is being crushed under the weight of consumerism.

"We're proceeding into the shopping season under an enormous misunderstanding. We think we are consumers at Christmas time," shouted the flamboyant Rev. Billy Talen of the Church of Stop Shopping. "No, we are being consumed!"

Talen is an activist and performance artist who's made his presence known at malls and chain stores in New York City. His efforts to halt what he and his followers call the "shopocalypse" have been chronicled in a new documentary, 'What Would Jesus Buy?' In the film, Talen is shown being kicked out of a Starbucks, performing an exorcism at Wal-Mart headquarters, and getting arrested in front of a Disney store.

"I think the commercial Christmas has become the Grinch," says Talen. "Polls indicate that most Americans now think of Christmas with dread rather than happy anticipation, and that's sad."
