• 1993 yilinda pittsburgh kentinde bir radyo istasyonunda tanisan anti-flag uyeleri din, milliyetcilik ve fasizm karsiti muzigiyle bu ideolojiyi benimsemis insanlara karsit bir muzik ortaya attilar.bunu simgelestirmek icin de abd bayragini ters cevirdiler.justin sane (vokal/gitar), andy flag (bass/vokal) ve pat thetic (bateri) kendi kasabalari etrafinda yasayan, ve ülke bayragi gibi fasism ya da asiri milliyetciligi cagristiran sembolleri uzerlerinde bulunan "skinhead"leri o bolgeden uzaklastirdilar.

    1997 yilinda ellerinde biriken bircok single'i bir araya toplayarak ilk uzun sureli albumleri olan "die for the government"i cikardilar.20000 kopya, 4 basist ve 4 kuzey amerika turunun ardindan anti-flag hizli, gurultulu, tiksindirici ve sonu "ism" ile biten her kelime karsiti bir oldschool punk grubu olarak yerini aldi.en son 1999 yilina "a new kind of army" albumunu cikararak dunya capinda karsi olduklari herseyi elestirerek konserlerine devam ediyorlar.

    grup ilk kuruldugunda 1 gitarist eksik sekilde 3 kisilerdi.sonra basist andy flag gruptan ayrildi ve yerine sadece bir tur sirasinda yer alan jamie cock gecti.daha sonra bass'a #2 (number 2) ve diger gitara chris gimmehead (head olarak degisti), gecti.

    #2 su anda bassin basinda; #2 olarak cagirilmasinin nedeni ise adinin chris olmasi ve zaten grupta bir tane chris bulunmasi...

    anatomy of your enemy

    10 easy steps to create an enemy and start a war:
    listen closely because we will all see this weapon used in our lives.
    it can be used on a society of the most ignorant to the most highly educated.
    we need to see their tactics as a weapon against humanity and not as truth.

    this is how to create an enemy! this is how to start a war!
    this is how to create an enemy!

    first step: create the enemy. sometimes this will be done for you.

    second step: be sure the enemy you have chosen is nothing like you.
    find obvious differences like race, language, religion, dietary habits
    fashion. emphasize that their soldiers are not doing a job,
    they are heartless murderers who enjoy killing!

    third step: once these differences are established continue to reinforce them
    with all disseminated information.

    fourth step: have the media broadcast only the ruling party's information
    this can be done through state run media.
    remember, in times of conflict all for-profit media repeats the ruling party's information.
    therefore all for-profit media becomes state-run.

    fifth step: show this enemy in actions that seem strange, militant, or different.
    always portray the enemy as non-human, evil, a killing machine.

    this is how to create an enemy. this is how to start a war.
    this is how to create an enemy.

    sixth step: eliminate opposition to the ruling party.
    create an 'us versus them' mentality. leave no room for opinions in between.
    one that does not support all actions of the ruling party should be considered a traitor.

    seventh step: use nationalistic and/or religious symbols and rhetoric to define all actions.
    this can be achieved by slogans such as 'freedom loving people versus those who hate freedom'
    this can also be achieved by the use of flags.

    eighth step: align all actions with the dominant deity.
    it is very effective to use terms like, 'it is god's will' or 'god bless our nation'

    ninth step: design propaganda to show that your soldiers
    have feelings, hopes, families, and loved ones.
    make it clear that your soldiers are doing a duty; they do not want or like to kill.

    tenth step: create and atmosphere of fear, and instability
    and then offer the ruling party as the only solution to comfort the public's fears.
    remembering the fear of the unknown is always the strongest fear.

    this is how to create an enemy! this is how to start a war!
    this is how to create an enemy!

    we are not countries.
    we are not nations.(enemy)
    we are not religions.
    we are not gods.
    we are not weapons.
    we are not ammunition. (enemy)
    we are not killers.
    we will not be tools.

    mother fuckers
    i will not die
    i will not kill
    i will not be your slave
    i will not fight your battle
    i will not die on your battlefield
    i will not fight for your wealth
    i am not a fighter
    i am a human being!!!

    helal olsun!
