"Uncle Sam and The Lamb".Music,anti-globalisation protest song,clear and coherent,lyrical and musical.Too politically forthright for any coverage in NZ.APEC{Americans Pushing Extreme Capitalism} does not include agriculture,which is what we do."The day that they will buy New Zealand lamb, is when the farm belongs to Uncle Sam".

"Uncle Sam and The Lamb".Free mp3 at http://www.rebelmusic.co.nz/mp3's.htm
This song was written about APEC,Auckland '99.The chorus goes"Americans Pushing Extreme Capitalism" Music can be a very useful tool in the struggle against corporate domination of our thoughts and our cultural experience.This song explodes the free market myth by having the temerity to point out America's huge agricultural subsidies and tarrifs.."The day that they will buy New Zealand lamb, is when the farm belongs to Uncle Sam".In New Zealand we have sold almost everything in the last sixteen years, so far we still own most of our own farmland...The use of music to counter the corporate media has been underused so far by the anti-globalisation movement,and could be a very powerful tool.NZ media is totally commercially dominated and does not play anything which might upset the advertisers,so to produce an album like "Storm Warning" is not any kind of commercial venture....Phil Toms

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
