Wumpscut
Totmacher

sie ahnten nichts von mir
von meiner wilden gier
doch als du kamst zu mir
da wurde ich ein tier
kein gedanke an danach
als ich dir die knochen brach

tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot

tot

fuer mein naechstes leben
schoepfe ich neue kraft
ich bin dem toeten ergeben
in der einzelhaft

tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot
tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot

ein dahinsichen
von gottes hand
ich kann dich riechen
und das denken verschwand

tot tot tot tot tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot tot tot tot tot

ich mache dich tot ich mache dich tot
ich mache dich tot ich mache dich tot

sag mir was du willst
dass du meine sehnsucht stillst
ich mache dich tot fuer immerdar
von blut alles rot auf gottes altar

tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot

ich mache dich tot fuer immerdar
ich mache dich tot glaub mir es ist wahr
ich mache dich tot fuer immerdar
ich mache dich tot auf gottes altar

TRANSLATION

Wumpscut - Deadmaker

They didn't expect me
never expected my wild lust
I turned into an animal
No thought about afterwards
When I broke your bones

Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red

Dead

For my next life (life after death in the religious sense)
I get the power I need
I’m a slave to the killing
In solitary confinement

("einzelhaft" (solitary confinment) has become part of the german vocabulary after the terrorist attacks of the Red Army Fraction during the 70's. It's used for people in prison, who are put into complete isolation not just from other people, but from all kinds of information. It's what might be known in the US as "sensual deprivation", a kind of torture-technique to destroy people's self.)

Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red
Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red

Wasting away
By God’s hand
I can smell you
And my thought disappeared

Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red
Dead, dead, dead, dead

I make you dead I make you dead
I make you dead I make you dead

Tell me what you want
That you fill my longing (that you satisfy my desire)
I make you dead for evermore
God’s altar stained from blood so red

Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red

I make you dead for evermore
I make you dead believe me its true
I make you dead for evermore
I make you dead on God’s altar




Let America be America Again

Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free.

(America never was America to me.)

Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed--
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.

(It never was America to me.)

O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.

(There's never been equality for me,
Nor freedom in this "homeland of the free.")

Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?
And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?

I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,
I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars.
I am the red man driven from the land,
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek--
And finding only the same old stupid plan
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.

I am the young man, full of strength and hope,
Tangled in that ancient endless chain
Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land!
Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need!
Of work the men! Of take the pay!
Of owning everything for one's own greed!

I am the farmer, bondsman to the soil.
I am the worker sold to the machine.
I am the Negro, servant to you all.
I am the people, humble, hungry, mean--
Hungry yet today despite the dream.
Beaten yet today--O, Pioneers!
I am the man who never got ahead,
The poorest worker bartered through the years.

Yet I'm the one who dreamt our basic dream
In the Old World while still a serf of kings,
Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true,
That even yet its mighty daring sings
In every brick and stone, in every furrow turned
That's made America the land it has become.
O, I'm the man who sailed those early seas
In search of what I meant to be my home--
For I'm the one who left dark Ireland's shore,
And Poland's plain, and England's grassy lea,
And torn from Black Africa's strand I came
To build a "homeland of the free."

The free?

Who said the free? Not me?
Surely not me? The millions on relief today?
The millions shot down when we strike?
The millions who have nothing for our pay?
For all the dreams we've dreamed
And all the songs we've sung
And all the hopes we've held
And all the flags we've hung,
The millions who have nothing for our pay--
Except the dream that's almost dead today.

O, let America be America again--
The land that never has been yet--
And yet must be--the land where every man is free.
The land that's mine--the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's, ME--
Who made America,
Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,
Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,
Must bring back our mighty dream again.

Sure, call me any ugly name you choose--
The steel of freedom does not stain.
From those who live like leeches on the people's lives,
We must take back our land again,
America!

O, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath--
America will be!

Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,
The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,
We, the people, must redeem
The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.
The mountains and the endless plain--
All, all the stretch of these great green states--
And make America again!

Langston Hughes

[elehhhhna]

22. me too. riveting. shameful. timely.

[havocmom]

24. Just tuned in to C-SPAN 3 online

:thumbsup:

[rodeodance]

25. me Glad to see Joe/Val keeping this in the limelight@

[malaise]

29. Yes n/t

[stop the bleeding]

23. could y'all provide typed updates

I can not get to anything more than DU this morning

Thank you

[havocmom]

26. Try the case IN COURT

Remains unclear exactly who is involved

[wordpix2]

40. suing Cheney, Rove, Libby on CONSPIRACY.. discovery should be interesting

[Buns_of_Fire]

70. AND "John Does" 1-10!

(We'll just fill in those names as we go along.)

The full complaint is here at The Smoking Gun. Note on the last page where they're requesting a jury trial.

I hope she nails their "Big Time" asses to the wall. Hit 'em all where it really hurts -- their overstuffed wallets.

[stop the bleeding]

27. I don't have headphones

could someone tell me what they are saying

[Greybnk48]

36. Rodeodance, can you work your magic

and give us a running commentary? Or someone else, thanks.

[rodeodance]

42. Lawyer saids her undercover status was blown--and violation of privacy

rights. i have dial up so it is slow posting.

[wordpix2]

55. saw it---very short & to the point. Joe Wilson was appointed by Bush Sr.

first---then worked for Clinton admin. Lots of diplomatic experience in Iraq and Africa. Insinuation is he was a natural to check out the uranium in Niger story since his background is both in Iraq and Africa. He and others with excellent credentials discovered the Niger forgeries and passed along the info; nevertheless the "16 words" appeared in *'s SOU speech.

Excellent, excellent, :applause: pls. send funds to wilsonsupport.org to help their lawsuit, which is really OURS as well as theirs.
:applause:
:grouphug: :bounce:

[havocmom]

28. Typical way of framing issue : unidentified defendents

Goals:
Vindicate wrongs done against Wilsons

[Coexist]

30. the remarks were brief.

Valerie spoke - that was news in itself.
I wish I could remember exact quotes for you. Sorry.

[rodeodance]

34. they are smart to keep it brief.

[rodeodance]

31. lawyer saying they hope who the 3rd person was (Nokak testimony)--Novak

said it was not VP---so hope to discover who during the discovery phase.

[stop the bleeding]

33. wouldn't we all like to know who Mr X is

thank you

[havocmom]

32. No comment to 'Any physical threats against Wilsons & their kids?'

[havocmom]

37. Idiot asking if Ms Plame will give up her position at CIA

:eyes:

[havocmom]

41. Won't interfere with Special Prosecutor's case

[myrna minx]

46. I'm glad to hear about that.

:bounce:

[havocmom]

52. Yep. Joe Wilson wants to make sure they are exposed for what they did

[havocmom]

49. List of 10 or so people lawyer wants to talk to

Don't know who is on list

(It's over now)

Good lawyer, he didn't give away the game plan. NOW watch him get shredded on discussion boards all over the spectrum. Folks seem to think they should be privy to all the stratedgy and get testie when lawyers don't do like Ken Starr and keep them informed ;)

[stop the bleeding]

59. 10 people = WHIG and I heard legal experts on NPR

this morning state that expect the Wilson suit to be stayed until the Fitz case(s) are over, they just wanted to get it filed.

Thanks everyone;)

This is a positive step, pray for the ME

[havocmom]

68. WHIG is what I thought of too

Wonder how Mary Matalin is feeling today :evilgrin:

And, where's Dick?

[partylessinOhio]

35. I just caught the end of it with Joe Wilson speaking.

He is one good looking man who presents himself very well.

Joe Wilson would be an impressive representative of the United States. What a waste that this administration trashed both of them and has lost their services. The Wilsons were too good for the pig party.

[rodeodance]

38. "Erwin Chemerinsky, who is Of Counsel in the Wilson" is answering

questions.

[Spazito]

44. Actually, it was Christopher Wolfe answering the media questions

but Chemerinsky is part of their legal team which is excellent, imo.

[rodeodance]

48. thanks for the correction.

[mtnsnake]

43. Oh baby! CNN & MSNBC carried it live. But what?...Nothing on Fox???

I guess Fox figures "Out of sight, out of mind", cowards that they are.

I missed Plame but saw Wilson when I came in for a break and flipped on the news. Wow!! If this doesn't give us some hope, nothing will!

[rodeodance]

57. thanks. i do not get cable now and glad to hear they viewed it live. Forge

t Fox. they are hopeless.

[druidity33]

69. Fox had Novak on...

with the Wilsons in the background behind him (no sound). He says the lawsuit is a no-win situation. He seemed surprised he wasn't named in the suit. What a dick is all i kept thinking. And the schill interviewing him was prototypical Fox emptyhead. Touted all the same old hackneyed party lines... i can't believe i managed to listen for over 6 minutes.

:puke:

[rodeodance]

45. The room was full of reporters and questions. Lots of interest generated.

[The Witch]

47. I really wanted to hear Mrs. Wilson's voice

Since we know so little about her -- even what her voice sounds like...

She is so freaking beautiful... :jealous:

[wordpix2]

60. she is very poised and speaks beautifully---I'm sure repukes are messing

their pants right now! :evilgrin:

[npincus]

63. Remember Coulter called Democratic women ugly?

har har- yes, that Mrs. Wilson is a DAWG.

[mtnsnake]

66. Who is she to call ANYONE ugly? She looks like last Tuesday's oatmeal. nt

[npincus]

51. please post link when video is up

I missed most of it-- ah, crap.

[rodeodance]

54. i missed the beginning myself --

[rodeodance]

53. anyone know if cable covered it? (ie. msnbc? cnn? etc?)

[mtnsnake]

56. CNN & MSNBC carried it live. Fox didn't carry it at all, at least not when

I looked at it when Joe Wilson was speaking. I missed his wife speaking before him.

[Literate Tar Heel]

62. Fox skipped the beginning

they showed at least some of Wilson though ... I looked during Plame and Fox had some vapid blonde doing weather, then again after Wilson had talked for a minute or so and they had switched to it

[mtnsnake]

65. They skipped more than just the beginning, the pukes that they are

I watched the Wilson part and out of curiosity I kept switching back and forth between CNN, MSNBC, & FOX to see who deemed it serious enough to carry it live. CNN and MSNBC were on it throughout and anytime I checked Fox they were covering something totally unrelated, completely ignoring what was happening live. However, I'll take your word for it that they showed a fleeting glimpse of it at some point during the Wilson part like you said. Must've been for a split few seconds, though, that they did because I kept jumping back and forth once every half minute or so, and I never saw anything on that station.

[Greybnk48]

58. Someone said it was on CNN and MSNBC live.

and thanks Rodeodance (and everyone)

[wordpix2]

61. was on MSNBC---should be on their talking head shows tonight

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

67. Watch Olbermann!!

If you reaaaallllly want to waste your time and mental sanity, then watch the other GARBAGE posing as "news" which will be on before and after that.

In other words, if you truly enjoy giving credence to those who will almost certainly criticize and bash the Wilsons, then tune into wolfie and whora and tucker, et al.
