I was going through some data CDs I had burnt years ago. Clean up and clean out time ya know. I found this track by Organarchy. I remember listening to this when I was first getting into politics, back in the early 2000s. I couldn't find it out on the web so I upload it here, for old times sake. I think it is called 'Congratulations Seattle' or maybe just 'Seattle'.

Enjoy.

Medical treatment and legal aid is required for the irregular migrants (at least three of them are of Kurdish origin; therefore, may very well be prima facie refugees) who are being detained after the raid of the Greek police in Egoumenitsa, Greece on 22 August 2011.
