 Don’t Let The Numbers Fool You
Dear friends, fans and supporters of #MTSTPBlog – Music To Stop The Persecution, As many of you already know, over the years our website, social media accounts and content have been subjected to intense, consistent, covert, and probably coordinated, undermining by certain elements of Big Tech, to varying degrees. Anyone who has followed our content over the years has surely noticed the particularly suspicious way that our content’s views, listens, likes, analytics, data, SEO and search engine results are almost always uniformly low in recent years. Of course, I do realize that #MTSTPBlog is a small operation with a limited reach. However, after studying the data, analytics, trends and activity across multiple platforms myself in conjunction with my posting habits and posting schedule, I can confidently say that something fishy has certainly been going on, to say the least. Perhaps you are new to all of this and would ask; why would the big tech (and some smaller) companies allow elements within to undermine and censor little bitty #MTSTPBlog, or how do you know that the culprits aren’t solely hackers from China? Well, yes, the latter (Chinese hackers – CCP agents) have undoubtedly played a more than significant role in such undermining of our efforts over the years. However, in addition to the generally well-known cozy relationships among the Chinese communist regime and their state-owned companies with American Big Tech companies, you could reasonably understand why any socialist/communist-leaning entities or individuals would see our music and content as something that should be targeted for undermining and censorship. So, I say to anyone who enjoys #MTSTPBlog music and understands and appreciates our message, please don’t get discouraged, confused or in any way affected by the numbers (view counts, listens, shares etc.) or the inability to consistently find us through certain search engines – I’m convinced that all of that stuff is being maliciously manipulated away from our favor. Just keep listening, coming back to the site and sharing our direct link(s) with your family and friends and over time, we will all see that the covert undermining and censorship efforts will become increasingly difficult to maintain and will ultimately fail. Truly touching people’s hearts through good music is too powerful to be denied by any such undermining tactics. They, themselves, know this very well ;) Kind regards, Rise  Hello Everyone, I hope you are all doing great. This week’s new #MTSTPBlog Song is entitled “Don’t Be Afraid.” It’s a song that I hope inspires more people to courageously be positive, good, upright and virtuous– even when that means you have to swim against the massive tide of moral decay that is seen in society today. “Always remember, The Creator gave you life.” “Don’t be afraid, to uphold traditional values…” – “Don’t Be Afraid” by Rise-Ascend I hope you all enjoy. Kind regards, Rise  Good Morning Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying a great and productive week so far. Here is a brand new #MTSTPBlog song entitled “Your Life Is Not By Chance.” “It’s no coincidence, And your life is not by chance…” – “Your Life Is Not By Chance” by Rise-Ascend I hope you all enjoy. Kind regards, Rise  Good Afternoon Everyone, I hope you are all doing well and staying warm! Here is a brand new song entitled “Faith.” I hope it inspires you. “You don’t even flinch as the dark clouds approach, They wonder how you do it, You say more than just hope…” – “Faith” by Rise-Ascend I hope you enjoy. Kind regards, Rise  Good Morning Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. Here is a brand new song for you entitled “Value Traditions.” “When we’re young we think we know the way, Sometimes don’t want to listen, But we’ll get lost in modern day, If we don’t value our traditions…” – “Value Traditions” by Rise-Ascend I hope you all enjoy. Kind regards, Rise Hello Everyone, Thank you all for coming back to #MTSTPBlog after my time away and thank you for listening to “During A time of Reflection & Tempering.” I wanted to do something special to show you all my gratitude, so I’m premiering a double release today. Here is “Your Morality” and “Where Most of Us Came From.” I hope you all enjoy and are inspired. Kind regards, Rise
 Songs “During A Time of Reflection and Tempering,” an EP by Rise-Ascend
Rise  Good morning everyone, First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has ever worked with me, or contributed to the Music To Stop The Persecution - #MTSTPBlog project. To everyone who has ever visited #MTSTPBlog or enjoyed any of the songs, words cannot explain how much I appreciate you! Although this has been a truly life changing and profound experience for me to make and share this music with you over the years, I feel the time has finally come for me to post the last #MTSTPBlog song. Please understand, I of course do not feel any less committed to the cause that the blog has been faithfully dedicated to over the years. It is only that I feel now is probably the best time to move on to other means of raising awareness and further make way for more traditional and classical art forms to inspire and uplift the world. Walking this path is something I will always cherish and I want to sincerely thank you all for walking on the journey with me. “Even if my songs don’t, [I] hope the compassion that’s behind them will endure…” "...You have come a long way, Crossed so many mountains when they came up, You've been on your feet everyday, all day, Keep walking with your head up..." – “Walking With Your Head Up” by Rise-Ascend Kind regards, Rise **Image Credit: Adam Bailey via Unsplash.com **Contains some lawfully licensed royalty-free samples   Good morning everyone, I hope you are all enjoying a magnificent weekend. Today I’m releasing the latest #MTSTPBlog Beautiful Sound Traditions song entitled “When History Writes Your Name.” This song is about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China by the Chinese Communist Party and also about how many people, since the persecution began back in July of 1999, have been in positions of power and could have stood up and called for an immediate end to this brutal persecution, but unfortunately chose instead to remain silent on the issue. Meanwhile, there have certainly been others who have bravely called on the Chinese regime to stop persecuting its own people. Falun Gong is a peaceful practice of mind, body and spirit that improves health and morality. “History will write your name, And what is in your heart is seen…” – “When History Writes Your Name” by Rise-Ascend Kind regards, Rise **Image Credit: Momentmal via Pixabay **Contains some lawfully licensed royalty-free samples PLEASE NOTE: As always, I have NOT monetized this video and if you are unable to view it with a YouTube error message that says “You must pay to view this video,” something fishy is definitely going on.#MTSTPBlog Beautiful Sound Traditions Disclaimer: I am not classically nor traditionally trained in music composition or arrangement and by no means should any of my music, and particularly the #MTSTP Beautiful Sound Traditions series, be considered, referred to, or confused with REAL traditional or classical music. Please make no mistake, the #MTSTPBlog Beautiful Sound Traditions series is only a personal reflection of my love for the traditional, classical and ethnic sounds in music and a means to help encourage those who have developed an intimate connection with our blog to go and experience true, well-defined, developed and timeless traditional music and culture.
