- MISSION STATEMENT 2012
“The Global Community of Like-Minded Independent Artists”
We believe all peoples of the Earth are subject to the same laws of the Universe, and that the God of this Universe, is the Author of all laws set up to govern the well-being of this Planet, we believe it is necessary to make known these truths with the words of the God of the universe rightly divided 2 Tim 2:15, for the protection of life and property Globally by laying foundations revealing the secrets of the Universe, and encouraging the growth of mankind to Unconditional Love.
“The Global Council Community of Like-Minded Independent Artists” is an organization whose purpose to enhance mankind, and strives to promote wholesome healing lyrics, words and musical melodies that mend the eyes of the blinded, heals the hearts of the oppressed, uniting mankind in a celebration, bringing global joy, hope and laughter for our children, healing humor to sooth the wounds of those who have and do suffer, to
bring EQUALITY to ALL lands, nations and peoples of the planet.
“The Global Community of Like-Minded Independent Artists” mission is to raise world awareness in the masses of peoples of ALL nations enslaved by the Greediness of Corporations, Religious Doctrine and Government Corruptions, we believe our education systems globally needs to be completely revamped, and mandate that all education programs that are taught to the peoples of all nations on the earth, be based on the doctrine, that God of the Universe, created all men, women and children equal.
“The Global Community of Like-Minded Independent Artists” through words and music we will bring to light the God given Universal Laws and Biblical truths, that have been “purposely hidden” from the general populations of the peoples of the world, and will show how these God Given Laws Apply EQUALLY to every man, woman, and child on the planet earth, we Will Be a catalyst of and advocate for, equality in the arts especially in radio, TV, movies, advertisement, spoken arts, audio music, especially media news, to promote unity and increased artistic enrichment Globally.

Pro 1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
These statements are my reasons for working toward global Peace…
What intrigues me about both ( Of Bobby Pizazz’s ) versions revolves around Bobby’s additional lyrics. He reminds us that the peace resolution identifies a process of an overall peace evolution. I find this concept exhilarating.
Our continual movement toward a peace resolution represents an entire evolution of our species. Our minds evolve as well as our bodies and we become a peaceful human race.
More people desire peace than desire war right now.
We can choose to go along on this peace evolution and experience a leap in the evolution of our species. Then when the minority calls for a war nobody will go.
What if they gave a war and nobody showed Up?
Bobby Pizazz reminds us not to fear the peace evolution because our evolution heals our country, the world and ourselves. Bobby represents the creative optimistic dreamers of the world when he tells us that we’re winning the war to Take Back America.
