http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7GXdfJ2nxE Quick Solidarity Notes Choir performance at a transit station in Vancouver of a song by David Rovics, in front of Coke advertising , just before transit police arrive. Coke is an official sponsor of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver beginning Feb. 12. Lyrics to Drink Of The Death Squads : Coca-Cola came to Colombia Seeking lower wages They got just what they came for But as we turn the pages We find the workers didn't like the sound Of their children's hungry cries So they said we'll join the union And they began to organize So Coke called up a terrorist group Called the AUC They said "we've got some problems At the factory" So these thugs went to the plant Killed two union men Told the rest, "you leave the union Or we'll be back again" Now Coke did not complain About this dirty deed Why give workers higher wages When Coke is all they really need They phoned the AUC Said "thanks, without you we'd go broke And to show our appreciation |

Hi folks, Another doctor who provided abortions has been murdered in the US, this time in Kansas. He had already been shot back in 1993. Google Dr. George Tiller and you'll find out lots more. I'll get a scratchy MP3 of the song up on http://www.myspace.com/davidrovics soon, but here's the lyric... In the Name of God I woke up this morning And I turned on the news It was a Sunday morning They were sitting in the pews The doctor's wife was in the choir She was about to sing She saw it all in front of her And she heard that awful ring In the name of God he held his pistol Pointed at the doctor's head In the name of God he pulled the trigger Now the doctor's lying dead Dr. Tiller had a family Three daughters and a son Two girls were both doctors Who were proud of what he'd done They knew someone had to do something Before they left this world behind If it wasn't them then who would serve The cause of womankind In the name of God... This is not Afghanistan It's the Heartland USA |

ATTILA THE STOCKBROKER CLEANS UP THE CITY I was a clerk there: I've seen the greed How wealth and power eat hope and need Now they're eating each other but they're still screaming ' No interference' - I start dreaming 'Self regulation?' OK, I say 'I'm a stockbroker - let's do it my way' And that's the beginning of this little ditty: Attila the Stockbroker cleans up the City! Each gets a red nose so everybody knows Just who they are and where all our money goes No more speculate, no more accumulate - This is a lifestyle we're going to eradicate Dealers on the floor meet squads of the poor saying 'Here's the twist, Oliver - we want more Work for us or we take the whole kitty' Attila the Stockbroker cleans up the City! 'Hello Mr. Hedge Fund, have a cup of tea. Financial Services Authority? Me. You're a parasite on the population Convicted of criminal speculation Time to atone for a life so greedy - Twenty years working for the poor and needy. Want to appeal? Try the Central Committee |
