To stand alongside Michael Meacher in high profile exposure to bring down the Bush (and Blair) regime sooner than we might imagine
![](/img/extlink.gif)
After a mild hiatus Paris returns with his most pointedly-focused and brutal condemnation of the ills of society to date. Waging righteous warfare (hence the title) on all that he perceives as being wrong with world in this current political climate of manufactured fear and "War on Terror," he covers such issues as the New World Order, the manmade origins of AIDS, military lies and propaganda, police brutality and the embarrassing state that hip hop is currently in. The first single, "What Would You Do?” has already been a lightning-rod for controversy in the United States, garnering coverage from such notable sources as MTV2, The New York Times and MSNBC for it’s suggestion that the Bush Administration played a key role in orchestrating the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. And it doesn’t stop there -- the album also features progressive hip-hop visionaries Dead Prez, Public Enemy and Kam. Add dancehall sensation Capelton to this already impressive lineup and you have a potent molotov cocktail of an album ready to explode.
As one of the few remaining artists who can be relied upon to remain consistent with both his content and his dedication to musical quality, Paris' latest effort will please not only his existing loyal supporters, but should prove to gain him many new listeners as well.
The first casualty of War is the Truth.
Upset by the cover? You should be, but for the right reasons. Read about the Bush Administration's involvement and the real motives behind the Attacks on America here.

North American Screenings of AfterMath on 9/11:
This Thursday will mark the two year anniversary of the tragic
terrorist
attacks on the United States. While, for many Americans this event is
now a
part of history, many others remain uncertain about the government's
response to, and potential foreknowledge of, the 9/11 crisis.
Mainstream
media will undoubtedly use the opportunity to look back, with
uncritical
enthusiasm, at the event that "changed our lives forever." To counter
mainstream propaganda like Showtime's DC 9/11, our comrades at GNN
have organized an international screening event for AfterMath to be
held in
cities across North America.
The videos will be shown in theatres, libraries, school classrooms and
living
rooms. It doesn't matter what size the venue - what is important is
that the
film be used as a discussion tool that can generate healthy debate
about how
the event has been characterized by the mainstream media and exploited
by
the U.S. government.
If this is something you want to do, visit the AfterMath: Unanswered
Questions from 9/11 page at

the film there. If you are going to do a press release for your
screening, you

may
also be of interest to local press that AfterMath has been screened in
Germany, Mexico, Italy and the UK and has been translated into four
languages...
For their programs, GNN typically show two short films (War Conspiracy
and S-11 Redux) before the film. These can be found on the Ammo for the
Info-Warrior DVD available at www.guerrillafunk.com and www.gnn.tv.
For those who are interested, GNN will provide both DVDs, Ammo for the
Info-Warrior and AfterMath at a reduced rate, as well as some large
movie-sized posters from the SF screening. For more information

Film Description
With the ongoing confusion over who should lead the federal probe into
the
September 11 terrorist attacks, we decided to pre-empt the government
and
produce our own version of a truth commission. Narrated by Hip Hop
artist
Paris and featuring interviews shot by GNN syndicate producers in six
cities, AfterMath features nine people answering eleven of the most
pressing
questions that emanate from the terrible and, as yet, unexplained,
events of
that day. As you will see, these are questions that continue to
overshadow
and critically challenge the official 'version' of the story.
