I just found this lil' article by long-time AP journalist, Charley Reese. I don't always find everything he writes agreeable... but this time he seemed pretty damn point-on. Read it for yourself if you're interested in a different take on this issues in the Middle East. If it offends you in some way... don't bother writing me, write Charley at:

I'm torn on a number of issues... but I do think Zionists have really royally fucked things up in a number of ways - and they continue to do so. In case most of you haven't noticed, I don't really believe in much of any "god". So claiming any territory based on some bullshit story about what "god" wants is one of the most ignorant fucking things I think I've ever heard. People really believe that shit?!? My stance on that is universal... whether we're talking about Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc. And right now, it's exactly that notion which has left so many people displaced and desperate to reclaim their freedom, basic human rights, and homeland.

If I just pissed anyone off with that statement - don't waste your time telling me so, just delete me from your friends list... cuz I can assure you my thoughts and my music will not be swayed. To everyone else who is on the same page, or everyone else who has different but still thoughtful opinions... thanks for listening.

I am hard but I am fair,

Palestinians: Freedom is what they want
By CHARLEY REESE

You might recall how President George W. Bush was wont to wax eloquent on the virtues of democracy and how often he spoke of spreading democracy to the Middle East.

You might not recall that there was a free and fair election in the occupied territories last year. Palestinian voters overwhelmingly chose a Hamas government over a slate of candidates offered by Fatah, a secular Palestinian organization.

They didn't make this choice out of religious beliefs or because they preferred "terrorists" to politicians. They made the choice because they were fed up with the corruption and brutality of the Fatah faction. They made the choice because Hamas had and still has a reputation for honesty and for a wide-ranging and compassionate health, education and welfare program.

Alas, President Bush discovered that he didn't like democracy after all. In his mind, democracy is only good if the election produces the results he wants it to produce. He immediately cut off aid and contact to the Palestinians, boycotted them and began a campaign to get other countries to withhold aid. These actions only harmed innocent Palestinian people. Since Hamas officials, unlike Fatah, were not in the habit of squandering public money on personal luxuries, the only people deprived by Bush's actions were ordinary people.

Now the president is pretending that the Fatah gunmen, whom he has been arming, were just sitting peacefully in the shade recently, trying their hand at knitting or crocheting, when all of the sudden those bad Hamas guys came up and started shooting. Regardless of Bush's lies, the truth is that Hamas fought back in self-defense. Between Fatah's gunmen and Israeli assassins, the Hamas guys must have felt like targets in a shooting gallery.

The Gaza Strip is a hellhole. It's a small patch of land, 41 kilometers long and about 6 to 12 kilometers wide. Its 360 square kilometers are crammed with 1.4 million Palestinians, about 1 million of them refugees from Israel's earlier wars. Unemployment is over 50 percent, and the poverty level is 60 percent. Nearly 18 percent of all children there suffer from malnutrition.

Israel controls its water supply and its air and land routes, and subjects its people to frequent closures, not to mention military attacks. It's true that some members of Hamas have resorted to terrorist acts, but the ratio of Israelis killed by Palestinians is small in comparison with Palestinians killed by Israelis. In the year 2006, according to B'Tselem, a respected Israeli human-rights organization, 660 Palestinians, including 141 children, were killed by Israelis, while only 23 Israelis were killed.

Try to visualize, if you can, 141 children. That's about the population of four average classrooms. Now visualize a heap of dead children. Those shot in the head are probably not recognizable, but you can see the bullet holes in the young, tender bodies of the others. If you can visualize this, then maybe you will get an inkling of the suffering inflicted on Palestinians by the Israelis.

The Palestinians don't deserve this. Their only sin was to be born in their own country, a country that was coveted by European Zionists and taken from them with the help of British colonialism. The fact that most American politicians prefer the indignity of acting like a crowd of timid foot-kissers for the Israeli lobby adds our own guilt to that of the Israelis.

Americans should remember the cliche "what goes around, comes around." Nobody gets a free pass to sin against humanity. The rest of the world sees us as we are. Other countries see the hypocrisy, the lies, the deliberate negligence of the American press. They see the callous disregard for death and suffering. To use the vernacular, we ain't making any friends in heaven or on Earth.

The tragedy is that nobody has to destroy Israel to provide justice to the Palestinians, but if they don't get justice, then Israel will eventually destroy itself, just as one of its best intellects has predicted. Palestinians want what William Wallace and our own ancestors wanted -- freedom.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has contributed to the Arsenal of Hypocrisy. As a young boy I remember looking at my grandfather's profile thinking, "Gee, I wonder if I'll ever have that many friends?" Now that I'm all grown up and celebrating 20,000 friends and 90,000+ plays… I realize childhood dreams really can come true. Thank you corporate Amerika. So whether you were recruited or decided to join this asshole army on your own – this poem's for you.

-------------

In the year 2008 some will take a stand
For we're sick n' tired of shitty music ruling this land
Posers and whiners, always the dumbest of fucks
Are responsible for the commercial bullshit that sucks

Washed up heroes who can't write a song
Leave us praying for a savior all night long
When out of nowhere there suddenly comes a cry
"Hop on board… it's time to die!"

Who are you and what do you want with me?
"Just gimme a second and I'm sure you'll see!"
This project of mine is a one-man band
But sooner or later it will rule this land

Paying homage to the elders, but with sounds unheard
I'll make it simple for you with just one word
RIOTHEAD is all you need from here on out
I'll be finished in a second, there's no need to shout

So gather the troops of failed democracy
It's time to kill for this hypocrisy
Spitting out treason with cock in hand
Like me or not, I'm your man

Calling the whores from all around
Grab a shovel and let's break this ground
Thanks for your efforts and love n' such
I'm grinding the gears and burning my clutch

And for everyone who has waited so long
I've been working on more than just one song
So rest your minds and clean the slate
I promise my new shit will be worth the… wait

Hello, hello my fiends - I just wanted to tell everyone that a remix of "Under the Skin" by BLEEDR is now available. To sum it up, my friend took what was an industrial / metal song and turned it into a grinding EBM track that is sure to pull you onto the dance floor kicking and screaming every step of the way! Some serious kudos are in order - so if you like what you hear, visit BLEEDR at www.myspace.com/bleedr and let him know!

This track is also posted as a 256k mp3 at RIOTHEAD.COM - SO IF YOU LIKE IT, GO THERE TO DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!! This is in response to MySpace lowering their download quality to 96k, which sounds like shit.

The originator of the "Under the Skin" track, ANDRAKO, has also been up to quite a bit lately... so keep your eyes peeled for a finished version that will be available for download as well. If you want to hear the original demo of UTS, just visit ANDRAKO at www.myspace.com/andrako.

And last but not least - news from das bunker. The new RIOTHEAD material is taking shape slowly but surely. For better or worse it's mostly getting heavier and leaning in the direction of songs like "Screaming Beauty". However, I'm committed to keeping this a truly industrial project... so synths n' samples will certainly play a large role. It just seems that in the last couple of weeks I haven't been able to put down my guitar, so be prepared! ;)

That's all for now folks. Beat my guest and enjoy the noise!

At least a whore gets paid,
Stephen S.

You can now download 256k MP3's of "Screaming Beauty", "Absolved", and "Under the Skin (Viral Mix)" at RIOTHEAD.COM.

This is in response to a few concerns about the quality of the MySpace mp3's and the fact they contain no artist or song information. I agree that they're rubbish and am thankful others are looking out for my best interest as well. The versions posted on RIOTHEAD.COM sound significantly better and contain all the necessary information - so as they're passed around the artist and song info won't be lost. The download option may eventually be removed from the RIOTHEAD MySpace page, but I hope you'll enjoy the upgrade!

And btw, for the several hundred new friends that have checked out my page and said hello over the last 2-3 weeks... thanks for helping to keep RIOTHEAD in the industrial Top 100! Every little bit helps.

SINcerely,
Stephen S.

Ladies and gentlemen, step right up and witness the newest addition to this arsenal of hypocrisy...

"Screaming Beauty" is my most recent project with J. Law of THE [BLUESKY] PHASE. It features Law on vocals (and bass) during the verse and bridge with yours truly and Jewls (RIOTHEAD's latest cohort) smacking up the chorus. Prepare to hear the harder side of this schizo project that is becoming more and more deserving of the name "RIOTHEAD". You'll see just what kind of a mess I'm creating all too soon. ;)

Be sure to drop by THE [BLUESKY] PHASE to add him up, say howdy, and get a little rowdy.

And if you haven't yet - feel free to follow the links on my "pics" page or here to add the RIOTHEAD MUSIC PLAYER or CONTACT TABLE to your profile!

All my best for the worst,
Stephen S.

Riothead now has a profile on Vampire Freaks featuring higher quality versions of current demo and completed tracks. I would like to invite all my Myspace friends who have a Vampire Freaks account to help pass the ammunition in this newly occupied territory.

Vampire Freaks is the top online community devoted to industrial and goth lifestlyes and has been for years. Enjoy!

Thanks,
