Sounds like something you would say, followed by, "its just a joke".

I mean his damage has already been done and conservative media doesn't need him anymore but I still hope he dies painfully.

Today, February 4, 2020, one of Africa's most outstanding performers, the exceptional kora player from Mali, Ballaké Sissoko has just had his cherished, custom made kora completely destroyed by USA Customs, without any justification.

Ballaké is a highly acclaimed, distinguished performer who travels around the world with his kora for concerts at top venues. His reputation is impeccable as both artist and human being. He has no criminal record. He is just a brilliant musician, a pacifist, a kind and gentle person, a magnificent and creative performer who manages to give African tradition a contemporary voice with total integrity. The kora is a fragile, hand-crafted instrument, and Ballake's kora is tailor made to his own specifications. It is an intrinsic part of his very special sound. The neck of the kora has been removed. The strings, bridge and entire, delicate and complex sound system of amplification have been taken apart. The kora is in pieces. Even if all the components that have been dissembled were intact, it takes weeks before a kora of this calibre can return to its previous state of resonance. These kinds of custom-made koras are simply impossible to replace. They are certainly not available in shops.

Ballaké had just finished a two-week successful tour of the USA (LA, Berkeley, Miami, Chicago and NY) with his group 3MA, an innovative and unique trio that brings together string instruments from Mali, Morocco and Madagascar. Ballaké boarded his Air France plane to Paris on his way home from their final concert in New York. He checked in his kora, in its hard case, with its state-of-the-art amplification system, specially designed by sound engineer Julian Cooper.

It was a night flight arriving in Paris the next morning - today, Feb 4. At the airport, Ballaké picked up his kora case, went back to his flat and slept. But when he woke up and opened the kora case, he was shocked and dismayed to find his kora in many pieces, with only a note from US customs - in Spanish, with the unfortunate motto: "Intelligent security saves time".

In Mali, the jihadists threaten to destroy musical instruments, cut the tongues out of singers, and to silence Mali's great musical heritage. And yet, ironically, it is the USA Customs that have in their own way managed to do this.
