Sülük şekillendirmede
Yeni dünya düzenini
Adı Freedom House
Projeler sunmada
Orta-Doğu'da gözleri
Amaç Mezopotamya
Bu uğurda feda olmalı
Kan revan Orta-Doğu
Ne Lübnan, ne Suriye
Kalmalı oralarda
Irak zaten ortada
Günden güne olmalı
Adım adım bölünmeli
Ulus devlet yok olmalı
Ama kendi ulus kalmalı
Buna sessiz kalan sülükler
Yarın parçalanmayı bekler
Nükleer güç el değiştirdi
Baş sülük bundan delirdi
Şimdi kendi zora düştü
Bir Katerina başa üşüştü
Orta-Doğu'da kan durmaz
Orası parçalanmadan olmaz
Buna 'dur' diyecek güç var
Koca bir haritayı paylaşmaktalar
Sovyetlerden Endonezya'ya
Yeni yeni palazlanmakatalar
Tek kutuplu kalınmaz artık
Olmasın dünyanın sonu karanlık
Amin!!!

Freedom House is a clear voice for democracy and freedom around the world. Founded over sixty years ago by Eleanor Roosevelt, Wendell Willkie, and other Americans concerned with the mounting threats to peace and democracy, Freedom House has been a vigorous proponent of democratic values and a steadfast opponent of dictatorships of the far left and the far right. Non-partisan and broad-based, Freedom House is led by a Board of Trustees composed of leading Democrats, Republicans, and independents; business and labor leaders; former senior government officials; scholars; writers; and journalists. All are united in the view that American leadership in international affairs is essential to the cause of human rights and freedom. Over the years, Freedom House has been at the center of the struggle for freedom. It was an outspoken advocate of the Marshall Plan and NATO in the 1940s, of the U.S. civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s, of the Vietnam boat people in the 1970s, of Poland's Solidarity movement and the Filipino democratic opposition in the 1980s, and of the many democracies that have emerged around the world in the 1990s. Freedom House has vigorously opposed dictatorships in Central America and Chile, apartheid in South Africa, the suppression of the Prague Spring, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, genocide in Bosnia and Rwanda, and the brutal violation of human rights in Cuba, Burma, China, and Iraq. It has championed the rights of democratic activists, religious believers, trade unionists, journalists, and proponents of free markets. In 1997, a consolidation took place whereby the international democratization training programs of the National Forum Foundation were incorporated into Freedom House. Today, Freedom House is a leading advocate of the world's young democracies, which are coping with the debilitating legacy of statism, dictatorship, and political repression. It conducts an array of U.S. and overseas research, advocacy, education, and training initiatives that promote human rights, democracy, free market economics, the rule of law, independent media, and U.S. engagement in international affairs. Freedom House is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization that relies upon tax-deductible grants and donations under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code.
