The Go Beyond Borders Project is an initiative of Heimat Berlin and CNN International in conjunction with Berlin Tape Artist El Bocho for the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
40 km of Go Beyond Borders tape was produced to mark the original position of the Berlin Wall and 8 Street Art Installations told heroic stories of those who conquered the divide between East and West Berlin.
The action also marks the launch of CNN’s new International slogan: Go Beyond Borders.
The Beyond Borders team wish to thank the City of Berlin, the Wall AG, the Marriott Hotel, The Deutsche Bahn and Axel Springer Publishing for their support in this project.

This song is dedicated to Anarchists Against The Wall and all the ones who fight against the apartheid in Palestine
lyrics:
They build walls, they steal the land
The world ignores, deaf and blind..
The world ignores the tragedy of the exiles
Since Six days war Israel denies
No passage to Ramallah.. the invader now forbids
Theyre all ghurba**. No way for the refugees
They build walls, they steal the land
The world ignores, deaf and blind..
I hate the frontiers, I hate the borders
Borders of the body, of the writing, of the behaviours
Of the states..***
People lead to famine, convicted in a cage
Sheltered by U.S.A. the executioners take no blame
They build walls, they steal the land
The world ignores, deaf and blind..
* barrier
** refugee
*** Murid Al Barghouti “I saw Ramallah”

kenya tyme
hear the cracklin’ paper
as you test the basil – mayo
pull apart the cheese
and tip your brown beer bottle
smell the grinding coffee beans
set by tattooed arms to motion
near the burlap bag topped table
holds the telephone unanswered
he feels her shaking laughter
as she forks her chick panini
underneath the spaceship lights
where she gestures, “See You later!”
he feels the brick wall borders
holding all the human faces
bulletin board like talkers
in between sweet licks of frosting
he tastes her warmth from her casual glance
come on over if you please
wouldn’t miss this Kenya tyme
for such a time as these…

Should we just arrest those who break the law and lure them here with jobs because they do not wish to pay decent wages to our citizens ?
Sure, why not.
The Great Wall of America won’t completely stop illegal immigrants from Mexico. But it will create construction jobs, which will go to all the illegal workers. They will be building a wall to keep their own people out in the future. I like the irony.
How much do you think building the Great Wall of America will cost? Because you know we are broke and will have to borrow from Chinese to build the wall. We will borrow the money to buy materials imported from China to build the wall. Ah, the irony. I love it.
But if you want the darn wall, let’s built it!
Maybe what we need is a high-tech solution. Like putting a precision laser cannon satellite in the orbit that shoots laser beam to fry anyone who steps across the border. lol.
