(song about mind control) – HALFTIME FOR DISCERNMENT by S.T.D.
This track features a line up change and is supposed to be released on the “This is Austin not L.A.”compilation on Bear Bones records.The last thing recorded by S.T.D.
I wanna kick a football inside your mind’s eye
and wake up the little slave that’s hiding
deep inside
You’re sedated by the television and all the other lies
The Time/Warner cable is tightening around your
neck,cutting off the blood supply with every single breath
Afixiate your purpose,the human need to create
and now you’re just a vegatable full of ignorance and hate
It’s halftime for discernment
put your hand over your heart and
settle for cheap satisfaction as your
thoughts are ripped apart
It’s halftime for discernment
your forced mindless pride
you don’t understand the meaning
cuz our Constitution’s died.
with your thoughts inside your hands,
you charge across the lines
you’re now you re own enemy
the opposition is your mind!!!——————
‘Idol’ hopeful arrested in Canadian terrorist roundup
A man who appeared on Canada’s version of “American Idol” has been arrested as part of an alleged Canadian terrorist cell.
And if judges on his 2008 audition for the show had any say, he’d probably be arrested for bad singing as well.
Khurram Syed Sher and two other suspects were picked up on charges they had plans to make bombs and use them against targets in Canada and abroad, police said today.
Police yesterday arrested Hiva Alizadeh and Misbahuddin Ahmed in Ottawa and today captured Sher in London, Ontario. All three are Canadian.
Sher, 28, appeared on the reality show “Canadian Idol” two years ago and sang a comical version of Avril Lavigne’s Complicated, complete with dance moves that include a moonwalk. He told the judges he’s from Pakistan and likes ice hockey, music and acting.
Police allege the men had plans and schematics to make improvised explosive devices. Police seized 50 electronic circuit boards which they say could be used as remote-control triggers for bombs. They said one of the men was trained overseas to make explosive booby traps, but did not specify which one.
CCID: 16375
Police say they moved in on the men to prevent them from sending money to terror groups in Afghanistan.
“The arrests have prevented the gathering of bombs and the execution of one or many terrorist attacks,” RCMP Chief Supt. Serge Therriault said.
Therriault said details on the targets would be released in court. Police allege they conspired with an additional three named individuals to “knowingly facilitate terrorist activities” in Canada and abroad. Police say the plot ranged from Canada to Iran, Afghanistan, Dubai and Pakistan, but did not elaborate.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the arrests should remind Canadians that they are not immune to terrorism.
“The networks that threaten us are worldwide. They exist not only in remote countries but they have – through globalisation and through the internet – they have links through our country and all through the world,” Harper said.
A judge remanded Alizadeh and Ahmed in custody until they appear again, by video, next Wednesday.
Police said Sher is a doctor in St. Thomas, Ontario, and that Ahmed is an X-ray technician in Ottawa.
Ahmed’s lawyer, Ian Carter, said the charges are serious and his client, a husband and father, could be put away “for a long time.”
“He is in shock. That’s all I can say,” Carter said.
Police descended on a home in Canada’s national capital of Ottawa early Wednesday.
The arrests come four years after the apprehension of the so-called Toronto 18, suspects in a homegrown terror plot that involved the attempted setting off of truck bombs in front of Canada’s main stock exchange and two government buildings. The ringleaders and others have been convicted.
Canadian Security Intelligence Service director Dick Fadden alluded to the possibility of other homegrown terrorist cases in comments to a Parliament public safety committee last month.
New Movie Asserts that Paul McCartney Really is Dead
Beatles fans are all familiar with the “Paul is dead” urban legend. The rumors, which surfaced in September of 1969, claimed that Paul McCartney died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced by a double. Despite the fact that McCartney gave an interview to Life magazine in November 1969 stating that he was “very much alive,” the whisperings of his death 44 years ago have never quite died down.
Labor Day weekend, the film Paul McCartney Really is Dead: The Last Testament of George Harrison makes its East Coast debut in National Harbor at Abbey Road on the River, which bills itself as the world’s largest Beatles festival.
The film starts in the summer of 2005, when a package, sent from London with no return address, arrived at the Hollywood offices of Highway 61 Entertainment. Inside were two cassette tapes dated December 30, 1999 and labeled “The Last Testament of George Harrison.” The voice relates that McCartney was killed in a car crash in November of 1966. British intelligence, MI5, forced the Beatles to cover up McCartney’s death and replace him with a double in order to prevent mass suicides of Beatles fans. “Harrison,” who died in 2001, also claims that John Lennon was assassinated in 1980 because he threatened to expose the cover-up.

New “Fear Factory” CD Stands for Controlled Demolition 911
Lyrics below…
Destroying lives of innocence, collateral dissonance
Malignant depravity
Faith based mob and their mentality
Bodies were falling, burning and screaming
Buildings collapsing, disintegrating
Hellfire scorching, blinding the sky
Descending like rain
You will believe this blood sacrifice
Life was the price for change
All to kill, dominate
All to kill, for control
A false flag conceals truth to sacrifice chosen few
Destruction, conspiracy,
An inside job done with efficiency
Bodies were falling, burning and screaming
Buildings collapsing, disintegrating
Hellfire scorching, blinding the sky
Descending like rain
You will believe this blood sacrifice
Life was the price for change
All to kill, dominate
All to kill, for control
Our fate lies in the hands of men
Their lies, our fate, our lives, the grave
A master plan of damnation
A controlled demolition
Hellfire scorching, blinding the sky
Descending like rain
You will believe this blood sacrifice
Life was the price for change
Our blood forever stained on the street
Blood can’t be washed away
All to kill, dominate
All to kill, for control
In a recent interview with absolutemetal.com lead singer and frontman Burton C. Bell went into detail about his questions regarding the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7:
“…the buildings were in a controlled demolition, and all I have to make people think about is building 7. Building 7 was blocked away and for some reason it caught on fire and it fell down shortly after both buildings fell. Funny thing that every building standing right next to the trade centers were untouched, never caught on fire even though they were next to it, and no damage was done. So why did building 7 fall in a controlled demolition fashion? The World Trade Centers were built to withstand a 737 flying into it. You know, and the fact that..dude when you look at video you see explosions beneath, going down as it falls up high. That’s controlled demolition, that’s totally controlled demolition, you look at any video archive of buildings falling and that’s exactly how they fall. And then there’s the thermite cuts into the steel of the foundation, that’s cut directly how a building should fall you know? It’s fact, it’s not a just theory, I’m looking just at the facts.”
When describing the track Fear Campaign Bell exemplifies his understanding of the control mechanisms that are being used against us as well as his understanding of the fraudulent war on terror:
“…It’s misinformation that causes the fear, half-truths, lies, and you know they do it through the media, they do it through exploitation and it’s something that we’ve been seeing for centuries and it’s even more true in this day and age, you know, the war on terror is a fear campaign”.
In an article on Blabbermouth.net, while providing a track-by-track guide, Bell gives his description of Controlled Demolition and again shows his knowledge of history and how “violence and deception” have also been used as mechanisms of control:
“So many questions, so many lies, so perfect a destruction. All one has to do is consider the theories. Why is it so difficult to believe that our elected officials are above destructive corruption? History has proved that absolute control through violence and deception is a common theme. Consider the alternative thought, and you may see there is truth behind the False Flag.”
Founding member and guitarist Dino Cazares in an interview with craveonline.com further explains the band’s view on 9/11:
“…Well if you look at how the buildings fell, most of it fell directly down and people heard things exploding on the bottom….We just felt that 9/11 was a conspiracy because of the way the buildings fell and that people were hearing banging and explosions from the bottom floor not ninety floors up. The way the beams were cut, they were all cut clean and the same way. We just felt it was a conspiracy. War is money so why not create a fake war to make money. Why haven’t we found Osama Bin Laden? I’m sure he’d be easy enough to find. Have we really wanted to find him?

11 Bands That Skipped Woodstock For Incredibly Lame Reasons
In retrospect. At the time, all they thought they were missing was a low-paying random music festival in the middle of the rain.
- Bob Dylan – fear of a gathering storm of hippies – There are two theories on why Dylan turned down Woodstock. One is that his daughter got sick. I’m not buying it. I like the other theory — he lived near Woodstock… saw hippies slowly gathering… channeled his inner Cartman… and realized instead of playing at the concert, his best bet would be to get the hell out of town for the weekend and away from all the hippies. Sick daughter be damned.
- Jethro Tull – fear of naked ladies – Seriously. In an interview with SongFacts.com, Ian Anderson explained why he and the other Jethro Tull guys didn’t want to play. Quote…
I asked our manager, Terry Ellis, “Well, who else is going to be there?” And he listed a large number of groups who were reputedly going to play, and that it was going to be a hippie festival, and I said, “Will there be lots of naked ladies? And will there be taking drugs and drinking lots of beer, and fooling around in the mud?” Because rain was forecast. And he said, “Oh, yeah.” So I said, “Right. I don’t want to go.” Because I don’t like hippies, and I’m usually rather put off by naked ladies unless the time is right.
Wow. If I’m starting a band, I do NOT want a fear of naked ladies to be a quality possessed by my lead singer-slash-flautist.
- Led Zeppelin – concert in New Jersey instead – Zeppelin had their own tour going that summer, where they were headlining. So when they got the word that they could come play at Woodstock with a bunch of other bands, they passed it up — because why just be one of 30+ bands in a concert when you could headline your own show in Asbury Park, New Jersey?
- Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention – too much mud – Zappa turned down the gig last minute because he heard rain was coming and didn’t want to play around all that mud. (Bad for the festival, good for one of his future children who no doubt would’ve gotten a name like Runny Soil Zappa or Muddlicious Orthopedic June Caralarm Zappa.)
- Joni Mitchell – didn’t want to miss the “Dick Cavett Show” the following Tuesday – On August 19th, 1969, two days after Woodstock officially ended and one day after it actually ended, Dick Cavett featured Jefferson Airplane, Joni Mitchell, and Crosby and Stills (sans Nash) on his ABC prime time show. Two of those three acts played at Woodstock. Joni Mitchell did not because, in a case of homeschooling-level over-caution, her manager made her skip her Woodstock gig so she wouldn’t miss her scheduled appearance on “Dick Cavett”.Mitchell was so upset that she ended up writing the song “Woodstock” — not from first-hand experience, but from what Graham Nash (sans Crosby and Stills) told her about the festival. So basically, that song is like the “A Million Little Pieces” of Woodstock lore.
- I-ron Butterfly – demanded helicopters for transportation – As much as the crowd would’ve enjoyed making out to I-ron Butterfly’s hymns, they never got a chance. The Butterfly bunch couldn’t get their equipment up to Woodstock because of the traffic. So they made a deal to use The Who’s equipment, and helicopter themselves in.The Woodstock organizers didn’t want to pay for helicopters for them… after all, if I-ron Butterfly gets helicopters then everyone’s gonna want them… plus, word is, they were a little uneasy about I-ron Butterfly’s edgier music riling up the crowd. (Perhaps they had flash forwards to Woodstock ’99 when Limp Bizkit’s angry suburban rap-rock induced a bunch of angry suburban kids to riot and plunder. No one has more justifiable angst than white suburban kids.) So I-ron Butterfly just stood there at the NYC Port Authority waiting for a chopper that never arrived.
- The Doors – fear of getting shot by someone in the crowd – Apparently, by 1969, Jim Morrison had such a raging case of agoraphobia that he refused to play outdoors because of a genuine belief that it would give snipers too good of a shot. Really. And, at that point, he still wasn’t The Saint so he couldn’t just roam around in disguise.
- The Beatles – Yoko wasn’t invited too – One of the biggest questions in music history is “Why weren’t the Beatles at Woodstock?” It’s up there with “Who was so vain that they probably thought this song was about them?”, “Did Rob Base just say he ‘can’t stand sex’?” and “Did New Kids On The Block really think people wouldn’t notice that ‘Hangin’ Tough’ and ‘You Got It (The Right Stuff)’ are the same basic song?” And there are three theories why the Beatles didn’t end up as a part of the festival…
- John couldn’t get a visa to come to the U.S. because of his drug arrests. (And Nixon didn’t like him.)
- Other than their B-Sharps-inspiring rooftop concert in January of 1969, they hadn’t played a show together since 1966.
- John agreed to play but only if Yoko’s Plastic Ono Band also got an invite… and the Woodstock organizers said hell no.
I’d say #1 is the most boring theory, #3 is the most entertaining theory… and #2 is probably the most accurate theory.
- Rolling Stones – Mick Jagger was shooting a bad movie in Australia – In case you think that stars making the transition from music to bad acting only started with the advent of the “Fast and the Furious” franchise, let this be a history lesson. Musicians have been making the ill-advised jump from the recording studio onto the movie set forever. And most of them are way more Ja Rule than Mos Def.While Woodstock was going on, Mick Jagger was in Australia, starring in a film about the life of an Australian-born folk hero named Ned Kelly. He was one of those glorified outlaws who stood up to injustice from The Man, kind of like that Cuban guy from all the t-shirts.
Anyway, the movie ended up bombing, Mick was mediocre… and neither he nor the director even showed up to the premiere.
