This project — centered around a
simple song,
entitled "Anthem for Someone’s Child" [see
below to hear it] — is dedicated to all the children across the
world who are the innocent victims of war and of the aggressive policies of
warmongering politicians.
However, at this particular point in
history, this project is especially dedicated to those children who are
suffering as
victims of the wretched and needless bloodshed being prosecuted and
supported by Western powers in the countries of the
Middle-East: Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon.
That children should be killed at all
—
worse, that they should be
deliberately targeted for killing, or
used as human
shields by the armed forces of allegedly democratic countries — is not only
abhorrent to all sense of human decency but it is indicative of the
fact that we do not really live in a civilized world. It is scandalous that hardly
an official voice is publicly raised against this terrible
slaughter, in spite of the fact that it goes on day after day, with many
bereaved children being traumatized, like the girls in the photo to the left.
Before Iran becomes the next country to be "bombed
back to the Stone Age" by the corrupt Western powers — with thousands of children
again being sacrificed in order to satisfy human greed and hegemony — let us
finally stand up in vast numbers to the would-be warmongers, exposing their
agenda to the world and letting them know that we will no longer be duped by
their inhuman schemes and manipulations, which have gone unchecked for years.
I accuse the US, UK and
Israeli governmental administrations of waging genocide in the Middle-East
under the shoddy guise of a "war against terror". Why they have not been
arraigned in an international court of law for warcrimes is the greatest
mystery of the century.
I accuse
the Western newspaper and television companies (with very few
exceptions) of shirking their responsibility as journalists by collaborating
in a deliberate cover-up of that genocide. The media have behaved like fawning
courtiers rather than fearless reporters.
I accuse the United Nations,
culpable NGOs and international children's agencies of failing to make public the
reality of this genocide and of merely attempting to make futile
ameliorations. On this basis, they, too, are collaborators.
I accuse the US and
British parliaments of willful collusion in this genocide. Elected
representatives have not only failed to oppose the genocide but they have bent
over backwards to facilitate it.
I accuse the US and UK
governments of encouraging a climate of fear, in which the people have been
blackmailed into passivity and coerced into silence by being told that they
must either support this genocide or be labeled as supportive of terrorism ("Either
you are with us, or you are with the terrorists"). True human beings will
not be threatened by such false dilemmas or logical fallacies. In a democracy,
it
is the government who should fear the people, rather than the people
having to be afraid of their government.
This project is designed to create a focal point for awareness about these issues,
bringing people together around the song which is at the heart of this website, "Anthem for Someone's Child",
performed by the music ensemble
Sincerity,
and released on their latest CD, "A Trace of Sky", in January 2007.
Hopefully, this project will melt
hearts and generate ideas for action. Let us make this song an anthem for our time
so that the memory of these children will serve to embolden us as we take a
moral stand
against their lying murderers and overturn their policies.

"Anthem for Someone's Child" has just received
the "Best Songwriter" award (France) in the national category of the 2006
Music Aid International Music Awards Contest, announced December 20th 2006.
