Amerika (Translation - German to English)

Chorus:

We're all living in Amerika
(America)
Amerika ist wunderbar
(America is wonderful)
We're all living in Amerika

Wenn getanzt wird will ich führen
(Where there's dancing, I want to lead)
Auch wenn ihr euch alleine dreht
(Even if you turn [dance] alone,)
Lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren
(Let yourself be controlled a little)
Ich zeige euch wie's richtig geht
(I show you how it's done right)

Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen
(We're lining up nicely)
Die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen
(Freedom plays on all violins)
Musik kommt aus dem Weißen Haus
(Music comes from the White House)
Und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus
(And Mickey Mouse is on the outskirts of Paris)

Ich kenne Schritte die sehr nützen
(I know very useful steps)
Und werde euch vor Fehltritt schützen
(And will protect you from mishap)
Und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss
(And who don't want to dance at the end)
Weiß noch nicht dass er tanzen muss
(Don't know yet that he's [they] got to dance!)

Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen
(We're lining up nicely)
Ich werde euch die Richtung zeigen
(I will show you the direction)
Nach Afrika kommt Santa Claus
(Santa Clause is coming to Africa)
Und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus
(And Mickey Mouse is on the outskirts of Paris)

We're all living in Amerika
(America)
Coca-Cola, Wunderbra

This is not a love song
---> I don't sing my (mother's) tongue
No, this is not a love song

We're all living in Amerika
(America)
Coca-Cola, sometimes war

Canadian Police and Military imitate crowd control techniques used in Not So Democratic Honduras, Guatemala, Burma, South Korea, Israel, Sydney Australia etc.

Another major concern is that the United States & allies using so called Enhanced Interrogation Techniques which the UN, the Red Cross , Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders and others say is just a Euphemism for "Torture".
So if Torture is permitted in some circumstances why not in others.
In the US one jail or detentiona center after another have been increasingly using Torture techniques and other abuses of the rights of the accused and even of those convicted.
We either stand for human rights even if it is not always convenient for those in authority.
If these techniques are used on a suspect the case should be tossed out of court to send a message that these actions will not be tolerated.
But since even President Obama has defended many of these abusive practices the message to police and military is Carte Blanche as long as one can justify it or at least not get caught.
So the Toronto Police or the Montreal Police like those in Amerika or Briton or Australia have an attitude and a mindset that this next suspicious person they attempt to stop and question or arrest may be a terrorists or "Suicide Bomber".
This does not lead to confrontations which in many cases can be ameliorated by communication and developing a repore with the suspected persons.
This issue of police over-reation and going rogue or going ballistic on suspects should be addressed by all Municipal police & the RCMP etc.
The other issue is the number of deaths caused by the supposedly Non-Life Threatening 50,000 volt Taser Guns which police all across Canada are too quick and eager to use.
The other is this tactic of four or more police officers piling on a suspect - putting a knee to the throat of the suspect bending bodies into unnatural injury inducing positions.
Another issue here is that if the incident had not been video taped by a Canadian citizen this case would have been ignored and the RCMP once again would get away with murder.Another question arises about the training of police officers in Canada ???
Is their training just to violently take people down without any concern for the suspect as they do in countries such as Burma, Iraq, Pakistan, India, Honduras, Gautemala or China.

The Murder of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver Airport Canada
Braidwood Report Into Tasering Death Blasts RCMP

ANewsVanIsland | June 18, 2010

VANCOUVER -- Four police officers met Robert Dziekanski at the customs hall in Vancouver International Airport. Less than 30 seconds later, they tasered him five times.

Friday, Commissioner Thomas Braidwood released the results of his inquiry. Braidwood concluded Dziekanski was not defiant or resistant when police confronted him October 14, 2007, and says the officers use of force was not justified. "Despite their training the officers approached the incident as though responding to a bar room brawl and failed to switch gears when they realized they were dealing with an obviously distraught traveler" says Braidwood.

G20: Epic Undercover Police Fail

Saturday September 26 2009: Three undercover officers attempt to infiltrate a March Against Police Brutality at the University of Pittsburgh, but fail miserably due to their horrendous disguise attempts. During the march, one of them breaks a photographer's camera. This is just one example of a larger pattern of attempts to silence the media during the G20 protests.

Brutal Crackdown in Burma

CNN's "exclusive" video smuggled out of Burma shows protesters arrested and beaten by police-Oct. 30, 2007.Burma is supported by the Canadian government because there are Canadian companies in Burma making massive profits paying subsistence level wages & use Burmese military and police to crack down on dissenters or union organizers ie use death squads to kill so called trouble makers.
But of course there will be public statements criticizing Burmese government while behind the scenes officals in Canada & other western countries assure Burmese that this will have little effect on their relationship with Burma.

Burma Dissent Crushed (Myanmar)

Israel Policing of the Palestinians- beatings, shootings
Detainees are routinely abused & tortures & supported by the Obama administration

Freedom of assembly and freedom of speech suspended in Ontario & Quebec
No protest or dissent will be permitted
Undercover police are everywhere it seems
If you wear a black T Shirt or carry a protest sign the police are permitted to arrest you
or if you are caught filming police you can be arrested

Video shows undercover agents assaulting man filming them at Montreal G20 protest
From the media release:
Police "agents provocateurs" attempt to infiltrate family-friendly march in Montreal; MPP Amir Khadir denounces police tricks.

Montreal, 3 July 2010 - A man arrested at Thursday's march against police repression around the G20 Summit has come forward to reveal that he was assaulted by undercover "agents provocateurs" when he attempted to film them.

While 1,000 Montrealers, including many parents with young children, marched to denounce the abusive police treatment of G20 protestors, Montreal police apparently attempted to introduce agent provocateurs into the march. The provocateurs were spotted trying to enter the march on Sherbrooke Street, but were forced out by attentive march organizers.
