Mhara Costello-Terrorist! (must watch)

The world looks the other way, and then when it gets to be too much, and the poor strike back, they are labeled as terrorists.

(LONDON / SALEM) - This is the power of beauty and it wins- Heretic Productions present... the work of Mhara Costello.

It is certainly true that from Palestine to Sri Lanka, Iraq and Afghanistan, to Somalia and points in between, the label 'terrorist' is the employment of political semantics; designed to strip people of humanity, dignity, and equality, while denying important supplies of food and medications and other important, essential goods.

Almost all 'terrorism' designations lead to human rights discrimination and the violation of international law.

Governments that are guilty of terrible crimes committed with resources that should be used for peace, are seen as the victors, while the poor disenfranchised people who exist under violent, brutal colonialism, occupation and religious persecution, suffer tremendous Human rights violations.

The world looks the other way, and then when it gets to be too much, and the poor strike back, they are labeled as terrorists.

The problems don't end with international labeling, they continue to include groups like American and Australian biker clubs, and it keeps going, with a clear goal of categorizing human beings in a way that allows state terrorism governments like the United States to remove rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

Our governments should not concern themselves with the development of methods for determining who is, and who is not- worthy to participate in their own political process.

Just a Word

'Terrorist' is just a word, one I wish I'd never heard
When it's used to vilify, without the need to question why
Only fools would swift condemn, that which has not befallen them
Until you know what lies behind, the actions of a tortured mind

Thank your God for sparing you, the suffering others have lived through
Where are the cries of just demand, for Arabs driven from their land?
Blame the victim, turn the cheek, praise the bully, kick the weak!
Mock the man who truth does speak

Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy, greed, corruption, torture, lies!
Blair invasion, sly persuasion, annihilation, massacred nation
Keep on running, karma's coming!
Money talks, truth walks, oil spills, greed kills

Tide is turning, London's burning!
Bombs will fall and blood will flow, as sure as my own name I know
Until corrupt dictators go, brutal, rotten, to the core
Their day has come, they rule no more

Show me the man who will not fight, to save his child, his home, his right!
You can call him what you like, you're not in his sorry plight
Cowards stay and Martyrs go, I know not where, but this I know
Speak your truth and stand your ground, fight your corner

When all around, point the finger, purse the lips, pin the label, 'Terrorist'!
Just a word, but one that sticks, even when the cap don't fit
But for the grace of God go I, remember that, before you cry

False accusation, names of shame, at those who may not be to blame,
Their crime, refused to play the game, of meek acceptance, dumbing down,
Your life, your choice; Warrior / Clown


Americans for a Stronger Israel
