Bring The Troops Home




The United States military occupies over 150 countries throughout the world, and the warmongers on both sides of the political aisle want to keep adding to this number. The current question looming among the Obama administration is not how to bring the troops home from Afghanistan, but how many extra troops should be sent there.

Is the US empire not big enough? Has the US government and their mercenaries not killed and pillaged enough? Have the US taxpayers not had enough tax dollars extracted? Has the US dollar not been devalued enough because of the unprecedented creation of new money to pay for these occupations?

Freedom cannot be found by forcing it upon other people who may do things differently. In order to be free, one must let others also be free.


Amos Lee - "Freedom"


don't wanna be a martyr in this war
don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore
that everything's a threat and it's only gonna get worse if we let it

don't wanna blame the rich for what they got
don't point a finger at the poor for what they have not
though the politician and the priest live in the belly of the beast because we fed it

freedom is seldom found by beatin someone to the ground
tellin em how everything is gonna be now, yeah,

now if the tables were turned tell me how you would feel
somebody busted up into your house tellin you to stay still
while the leaders will deny defeat the innocent they testify by dyin in the street

freedom is seldom found by beatin someone to the ground
tellin em how everything is gonna be
freedom is seldom found by beatin someone to the ground
tellin em how everything is gonna be now
