Re: [microsound] sounds of Falluja...


On 11/9/04, Bill Ashline said something like:

Heavy metal in the service of empire. 

I think this technique was first used (or at least first reported)
during the invasion of Panama, where a sound trucks surrounding
Noriega's compound were playing heavy metal at deafening volume 24 hours
a day.

I'll see if I can find the clipping.  The NYT had a track listing as I
remember...

I heard they also played "these boots were made for walking". Similar operations took place at Waco.
