Sweatshops are commonly thought to be a relic of history but they've always existed alongside capitalist economies exploitation built these nations and they've not changed their ways the corporate global agenda ensures that slavery is here to stay WTO, IMF, World Bank, and "Free Trade" institutions increasing the power of the ruling class and corporations destroying the planet and enslaving populations accelerating the process of global domination the lawless pirates of the new global economy spreading sweatshop production and pampant inequality a competition among brutal nation states to enslave their own citizens for the corporate parasites the process of creating an enslaved, dependant country a science worked out to aid multinational industry the first step is to destroy the independent local economies carried out in collaborations with local puppet authorities then in come the filth who will benefit from the destruction corporations seeking cheapest means of production the garment industry is at the crest of the wave ravaging the earth and its people for the latest fashions of the day world markets opened to fire, unfettered trade nations with the least regulations are the ones who make the grade corporations placing manufacturing plants and factories where women and children will work up to 84 hours a week people tricked into bondage for less than one dollar a day killing those who fight for better conditions or an increase in pay developing countries competing for western corporate patronage the major assets are tax pollution, safety laws and poverty wages now totalitarian governments are forcing people to work without pay using the desperation of the third world to circumvent a "living wage" politicians entertaining the business class of the west seeking payoffs and power at their population's expense the host country becomes plagued with disease and prostitution poverty, death and drug addiction is the worker's retribution the natural resources of the country are exported to europe and the west while the general population eats the garbage that is left some people believe such conditions to be worthy and necessary Globalists say its part of a developing nation's journey to prosperity yet these countries had all the resources to live healthy and free but all was destroyed and restricted to create the new economy and when these companies find a more cheap and easy way they close the factory doors and covertly move away leaving famine and war and a thousand lonely graves the slave drivers disappear and nobody knew their names but slowly the truth is beginning to find its way and now we know the names of those who are to blame those who offer slave labour are those who create the needy investors, shareholders who will drag you to your knees fire and flame to burn the filth away fire and flame we know who is to blame

In March 1990 at Kanesatake An absence of justice for the Mohawk people Forced the hand of a peaceful community To raise their fists in angry defiance plan for progress by the township of Oka Its mayor and council approved destruction of first nation's land A plot hatched in secret in the 1950's and the area was taken without restitution A barricade was raised on the roadway by the first nation's people of Kanesatake To halt the construction crews who intended to destroy their sacred lands For the expansion of an existing golf course reserved for the privileged A grotesque misuse of illegally obtained land There was no due process in negotiations The community's pleas were ignored An order to cease and desist blocking construction Was met by their unified refusal The businesses and politicians of Oka Cried for police intervention Racists across the country protested and demanded police intervention so the barricade was approached and watched by officers Called from surrounding areas in Quebec They blocked food and supplies to the entire town But the people of Kanesatake had reinforcements of their own Members of a militant resistance group called the Warriors joined their cause And brought weapons, trained soldiers and fierce determination The town's plight inspired cooperation Food was smuggled to them by the Micmac Solidarity with the first nations was evident across the country 500 protestors rallied at St.. Paul in support 1000 people gathered at a park near Kanesatake to bolster morale At the first sign of light on July 11th The signal was sent and the police advanced They fired weapons and launched smoke grenades In a display of aggression to disband the resisters 4400 or more officers 2629 of them were troops 1144 military vehicles Surrounded the community of Kahnasatake On Sept. 1 without warning the police and military overran the barricade The protestors mobilized to stop them and rioting ensued Open fighting on the street with military, police and soldiers Put an end to the barricade but far from ended this dispute The remaining protestors retreated to a treatment center Eventually the last protestors would be subdued The Warriors escaped under radar in planes to fight another day And so the military finally withdrew But still many people were arrested in the aftermath We must not forget so their justice is served too

bound to destruction here we exist too comfortable, too numb, too weak to resist in our quest for knowledge we came to insanity killing the earth for power and vanity Murder came to us along the way we questioned not those to blame very clean he looked, yet grim Seven bloodhounds followed him fat from the life-source of their prey Murder fed them day by day one by one, and two by two he tossed them human hearts to chew next came Fraud, with his false smile all were fooled by his tactful guile we nurtured his existence accepted deceit his clever mind wove our defeat and the children, too innocent to know round his feet played to and fro we showed little care, there was no alarm turned our backs and let them starve clothed with the bible, as with light and in the shadows of the night like a serpent, next, Hypocrisy the age old creed of the so called free and many more destructions played in this ghastly masquerade their vile qualities in clever disguise all respectable to common eyes last came the cowardly leaders of the state before their thrones we lay those leaders bred a ghastly birth and laid dead all life upon the earth Hope lurked within this darkening hell but for those who listened death befell still She called for all to hear in hope that truth would overcome fear rise like lions after slumber in unvanquishable number shake your chains to earth like dew which in sleep had befallen you ’ye are many ---- they are few.‘ what is freedom? ---- ye can tell that which slavery is too well---- for its very name has grown to an echo of your own. it is to work and have such pay as just keeps life from day to day in your limbs as in a cell for the tyrants use to dwell so that you for them are made loom, and plow, and sword, and spade, with or without your own will bent to their defense and nourishment.

now that your eyes have finally opened are you wondering how they must feel? those who you’ve called colorful, noble and proud in your school propaganda books and spoken aloud you never learned how they were starved in their splendor you asked for my comment, here I will render now that the long-houses breed superstition you force us to send our children away to schools where they’re taught to despise their traditions you forbid them their languages, then further you say that American history really began When Europe set sail, then stress that the nation of leeches that conquered this land are the ones more civilized than all of the rest and yet where in your history books is the tale of the genocide basic to this country’s birth of the preachers who lied, how the bill of rights failed how a nation of patriots returned to their earth? hear how the bargain was made for the west: children dying of exposure in zero degrees blankets for your land, so the treaties attest blankets for land is a bargain indeed and yet a few of the conquered have somehow survived their blood runs the redder though genes have paled from the Grand Canyon’s caverns to craven sad hills the wounded, the losers,the robbed sing their tale the past it just crumbled, the future just threatens our life blood shut up in your chemical tanks and now here you come, bill of sale in your hands and surprise in your eyes that we’re lacking in thanks for the blessings of civilization you’ve brought us the lessons you’ve taught us,the ruins that you’ve wrought us -- see what our trust in America’s brought us my country ‘tis of thy people you’re dying the pride of the sires receives charity we’re harmless and safe behind their laws my life’s to be known as your “heritage” even the graves have been robbed our own chosen way is a novelty hands on our hearts we salute your victory choke on your blue, white and scarlet hypocrisy blind, ignorant nations is all that we see that the eagles of war whose wings lent you glory they were never no more than carrion crows they pushed the wrens from their nests and stole their eggs a historical whitewash-- re-writing their story the mockingbird sings it, it’s all that he knows “what can I do?” say a powerless few with a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye their destruction is profiting you their poverty’s profiting you
