Crisis
(2016)
Album: HOPELESSNESS
In Crisis dice di sentirti personalmente responsabile per la politica estera degli Usa. Cosa cambierebbe lei?
“Non sono un politico, ma uno dei temi dell’album è quello strano senso di complicità… Siamo così abituati a sentirci parte del problema che ormai lo diamo per scontato, e questo diventa un alibi per non combattere più. Sono una cittadina americana e in quanto tale pago le tasse e quei soldi sono spesi anche per azioni che non condivido. Dal punto di vista economico sono parte della macchina. Donald Trump va in tv a dire che la guerra in Iraq è stata un errore. Ma come puoi definire “errore” l’uccisione di mezzo milione di persone?”.
Pensa mai di andarsene dagli Stati Uniti?
“Non farebbe molta differenza. Non sono problemi nazionali, ma globali. Quando uso la parola “America” ormai lo faccio quasi come fosse una metafora per indicare una cultura virulenta... (Continues)

Welcome Back Khadr
[2011]
Nell’EP intitolato “Does Not Equal”.
Ho trovato la canzone su FREE Omar Khadr NOW, il sito canadese della campagna per la liberazione di Omar Khadr.
Le foto ritraggono un ragazzino giovanissimo, appena quattordicenne, ed un adulto tra i 25 e i 30 anni. Sono della stessa persona, Omar Ahmed Khadr, nato in Canada nel 1986 da un egiziano e una palestinese lì immigrati. La famiglia si trasferì poi a Peshawar, in Pakistan. Nel 1995 il padre di Omar fu arrestato con l’accusa di aver contribuito a finanziare l’attentato all’ambasciata egiziana a Islamabad. Passò un anno prima che venisse rilasciato per l’assoluta mancanza di prove a suo carico. Nel 1996 la famiglia si trasferì nuovamente, questa volta a Jalalabad, in Afghanistan, dove il padre aveva trovato impiego presso una ONG. Ma dopo l’11 settembre 2001 e l’inizio della “War On Terror” di Bush, a causa dei continui bombardamenti americani... (Continues)

Lyrics & Music by W. Cameron Bastedo
Album: Door A-19
The infamous detention center which, as it contravenes the Geneva convention, is a disgrace to the USA. At the same time Canada's abandonment of Omar Kadr to this hideous institution is every bit as disgraceful.
I wanted to do what I could to bring attention to a huge inconsistency between our democratic pretences and the fact that we (the US and Canada) are flagrantly disregarding human right..

Legal Limbo
[2009]
Music by Atomgrad
Detainees still remain in Guantanamo Bay, they are held without charge or trial, in complete disregard of the Geneva Conventions.
The Bush Administration believes it can get away with this abuse by declaring them Non Combatants, but they are the ones who declared a War on Terror, and you can't have a war without enemy combatants. Anyone detained on suspicion of terrorism is therefore an enemy combatant and should be treated according to the Geneva Conventions.

Lyrics and music by Stephen R.Coffee
http://polsong.gcal.ac.uk/songs/coffee.html
"If there's one thing that the fundamentalist Christians and fundamentalist Muslims agree on these days, it's that we are engaged in a religious war. On the assumption that it's a wise practice to 'know your enemy', I offer here a spare and uncomfortably familiar imagining of a Guantanamo detainee's encounter with Christian love. The deep cynicism, evidenced as much by the Appalachian styling as by the lyric, is my own, a luxury the prisoner probably cannot afford." -Stephen R. Coffee

Lyrics by The Compassionate Conservatives
Original release 10-May-2004
Last remixed 08-Jun-2004
Before the lurid photos of those wacky kids from Abu Ghraib finally made the rounds (despite the oh-so-gentle GOP's desperate efforts to squelch them), there was -- and still is -- Guantánamo Bay. Serving as a permanent home-away-from-home for wayward children and other "enemy combatants", Guantánamo was the first bold experiment in how to handle prisoners in the indefinite War on Terror® without having to be held accountable to rules of international law.
God might bless America and our worldwide network of secret jails, but apparently He doesn't care too much about those lost souls at Guantánamo Bay, including obvious-non-terrorist Sean Baker who was beaten within an inch of his life during an "interrogation"... (Continues)

I wrote this in 2006 after I realized that "guantanamera" means "of Guantanamo (female)". "Guantanamero" means "of Guantanamo (male)". The words are in Spanish, but I have included an English translation. I thank Francisco Villa for his help.
