Music
What would you do if you were seeing the truth every day on TV, rather than neoliberal/neoconservative, pro-war propaganda?
A SoundClick Top 50 song
Some thoughts on how life could be different.
A SoundClick Top 10 song
Based on the story of a woman who was a little girl when her mother was raped and hacked to pieces by eighteen men under orders from Ariel Sharon on the floor of her home in the Shatila refugee camp while she hid under the bed and watched.
The infrastructure of terror.

Rachel Corrie was part of an ISM (International Solidarity Movement) delegation in Rafah, Palestine when she was killed by a young Israeli terrorist in a bulldozer.
A SoundClick Top 50 song
A song about love and disappearance.
The name of the enemy always changes, but the war between the haves and the have-nots continues to rage, as it has for the past several thousand years, as it will until there’s sanity in the world, or until there is no more world.
Given history, those of us who weren’t born yesterday must ask the obvious question: Who knew what and who did what and why is the government so terrified of asking these questions?
Everyone can, and must, be understood. This is a song from the perspective of Mohamed Atta.
A love song. (But they’re all love songs.)
Silence is the voice of complicity, that’s the point. If you know what’s going on and you’re just sitting by and trying not to do harm, that’s not good enough. What have you done? What will you do? They’re killing your family.
She was committed to a higher law, committed to fighting US terrorism.
And the nuclear weapons research in Oak Ridge, Tennessee continues right now, every day.
Sami Al-Arian is currently being held in solitary confinement in the US for the crime of being an outspoken Palestinian. This song is for his grandmother.
Al-awda.
“The next attack is coming.” This is a headline I saw in some tabloid in Europe. I am pretty sure the article did not get into the reasons that I list as to why the next attack is coming, but it was a good headline.
US foreign and domestic policy is a hotbed of contradictions. Many of the lines in this song came directly from the mouth of the president-select himself.
Something like half of the union organizers that are killed in the world each year are Colombian. Colombia is also the biggest recipient of military aid in the hemisphere. This, of course, is a coincidence.
Based on an article by Richard Lloyd Parry that originally appeared in the Independent (UK).
Another song inspired by Dubya.
Want to understand the non-state terrorists? Go see the bulldozed, occupied city of Jenin.
I wrote this after watching a documentary of the same name. There may not be a more glaring example of the contradictions in US foreign policy than our policy towards the Kurdish nation.
This is one of the two songs on the CD that also appears on Living In These Times. It’s about the second city of Iraq, the most bombed city in one of the most bombed countries in the history of the world.
Any relation to any politicians, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.
I heard this story from a friend in Brighton, England. Believe it or not, no dates or names have been changed.
