Хотят ли русские войны?‎

Хотят ли русские войны?‎
June 22, 1941, the WWII came to the Russian land. The war financed by bank olygarchy, fulfilled by German anti-communist, mad on mysticism.
27 000 000 Soviet Russians, Ukrainians, Uzbeks, Azerbaijanians, ... lost heir lives during 4 years. Many of them were victims of Nazy sadists.
That's why now Putin soldiers shout to Ukrainians: "Brother, get captured and then – towards family !" They refuse total bombing used against ISIS in Syria.
Some Russian politicians promote nuclear weapons, but Putin answers strictly: Nope.
Some promote the march to make Eastern European countries allies like in Soviet era. But the alliances should be free-will, otherwise ineffective; so, such politicians are ignored by everyone incl.Putin.
The scarecrow of 'Russian threat' is necessary for those who use war to robber their own peoples...

Giorgia nel Paese che si meraviglia

Giorgia nel Paese che si meraviglia
Anonimo Toscano del XXI Secolo, 29-4-2024 11:27

"This is a love story that has never truly ended: the love between a part of Italy and fascism.

It is just as when an old couple meets again after long time, one sparkle is enough to revive the (strictly tricolor) flame, and to have it burning vigorously like in past times.

This time, the sparkle is a woman. A mother and a Christian.

I wish you a good Liberation Day. Forever."

Lettera del compagno Lazlo al colonnello Valerio

Lettera del compagno Lazlo al colonnello Valerio
Anonimo Toscano del XXI Secolo, 28-4-2024 23:10

“La cosa veramente divertente è che c’è stato un tempo in cui i fascisti erano più autentici, più spavaldi, erano leoni, anche se solo per un giorno. Rivendicavano la loro identità senza paura di essere accusati di essere traditori e assassini della patria. Oggi, invece, hanno paura di definirsi, di rivendicare la loro fede”, scrive l’attore, che è anche direttore artistico del concertone del Primo Maggio di Taranto, nel post. E poi, si legge ancora: “Tradiscono la loro identità giurando sulla Costituzione antifascista e poi per stare seduti sulla poltrona diventano campioni della super Cazzola, cintura nera di arrampicata sugli specchi”. Infine: “Lo dico sinceramente: non ci sono più i fascisti di una volta. Solo pecore. Ecco cosa sono i fascisti di ieri che sono diventati i governanti di oggi. Meglio una vita da pecora che un giorno da leoni. Viva la Resistenza”. - Michele Riondino, 28 aprile 2024.

Napalm Sticks To Kids

Napalm Sticks To Kids
La versione registrata nel 1972 dai Covered Wagon Musicians
1972 Version recorded by Covered Wagon Musicians

Come detto (v. introduzione), la versione registrata nel 1972 dai Covered Wagon Musicians ed inserita nell’album We Say No To War! è quella con cui la canzone (o meglio, la poesia recitata dal serg. John Boychuk con sottofondo musicale di chitarra) inizia la sua vera storia di canzone contro la guerra. E’ senz’altro basata sul testo portato alla base americana di Mountain Home dal serg. Mike Elliot, ma rispetto a questo è più breve: alcune strofe sono state eliminate, ed altre disposte in modo differente (anche con lievi variazioni testuali). E’ questa versione che viene diffusa in tutto il mondo come messaggio contro la guerra in Vietnam (ad esempio, il testo sopra riprodotto proviene dalla rivista Equality, pubblicata dal 1965 al 1974 e destinata alle forze americane e NATO in Europa;...

Low Bridge, Everybody Down, or The Erie Canal Song

Low Bridge, Everybody Down, <i>or</i> The Erie Canal Song
The Erie Canal Song, o Erie Canal: La versione delle "Quindici Miglia" da Pete Seeger a Bruce Springsteen
The Erie Canal Song, or Erie Canal: The "Fifteen Miles" version sung by Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen



Già nell’introduzione generale alla canzone si è detto che, a un certo punto della storia di questa canzone sempre più trasformatasi in canto popolare (se come tale non è nata ancor prima della possibile rielaborazione autoriale di Thomas S. Allen), i “quindici anni” originali diventano “quindici miglia” sull’Erie Canal. Si può dire che si tratta di un passaggio quasi naturale se si considera che, con un decreto nientemeno che del Governatore dello stato di New York, Samuel J. Tilden, risalente al 1876, veniva stabilito che il traino a mulo delle chiatte sul canale dell’Erie fosse limitato a quindici miglia, al termine delle quali si dovevano sostituire sia i muli che i mulattieri...

La lotta continua

La lotta continua
Riccardo Venturi, 4-4-2024 20:49


Due parole del traduttore. In tutti questi giorni di lutas que continuam mi è venuto di riprendere anche questa vecchia pagina, anch’essa a suo tempo iniziata da un giovane -e non so se ancora imberbe- Dq82 (ora la barba ce l’ha, e bella fluente). Per prima cosa, una versione inglese che, in pratica, è un po’ una riscrittura. A tale riguardo, poiché è saltata fuori la questione della possibile “derivazione” (o ispirazione) di questa canzone dalla struttura dell’originale A luta continua di Bongi e Miriam Makeba (1975), derivazione-ispirazione che anch’io ritengo molto probabile (in attesa di un intervento chiarificatore dei fratelli Severini), mi sono deciso a mantenere lo slogan portoghese anche in questa versione inglese. Derivazione, ispirazione o meno, ci sta troppo bene. Ho lasciato invece così come sono le situazioni di lotta del 1991; un po’ perché... (Continues)

Pick a Bale of Cotton
Pickin' Cotton All Day Long (Traditional)

Testo e nota da Azizi Powell.

This comedic song is about a preacher (minister) visiting people on Sunday (when it was common to have fried chicken for dinner.) The "pickin cotton all day long" chorus doesn't have anything to do with the preacher and chicken verses.

Same Again Tomorrow

Rich had been working on a song focused on the fighting 69th regiment. I loved the reference to their bravery during the Civil War, and loved the use of their battle cry. I wanted to add more to their story. The 69th has been a part of almost every conflict since the Civil War. I referenced a poem called the Rogue Bouquet by Joyce Kilmer. Sadly he was killed during the battle of Rogue Bouquet Wood during WWI. His Poem was read during the funeral of the fallen soldiers in France. -Brendan

I was exploring Gettysburg with my family and came across the Irish Brigade Monument. I'd heard about the "Fighting 69th" but did some more reading. I was able to knock out the first verse and chorus pretty quickly, and turned to Brendan to flesh out the rest. -Rich

Holloway Song
The Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp Songbook

Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp was a peace camp established to protest at nuclear weapon being sited at RAF Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. The camp began in September 1981 after a Welsh group called "Women for Life on Earth" arrived at Greenham to protest against the decision of the Government to allow cruise missiles to be based there.

On 1 April 1983, tens of thousands of protestors formed a 14 mile human chain from Greenham to the Aldermaston nuclear power station and the ordnance factory at Burghfield.

On 4 April 1984, the women were evicted from the Common by Newbury District Council. However by nightfall the women all returned to reform the camp.

The last missiles left the camp in 1991 but the camp remained in place until 2000 after protestors won the right to house a memorial on the site.

Howard Beale's Speech [Network]
[1976]
Movie / Film / Elokuva :
Sidney Lumet
Network / Quinto Potere / Kasvot kuvaruudussa

E’ un monologo rimasto famoso dopo l’uscita del film nel 1976. Il film ebbe un grande successo. Il messaggio è sempre attuale.
I brani che seguono sono tratti da Wikipedia
Anche se lo sceneggiatore Paddy Chayefsky ha affermato che il film non voleva rappresentare tanto una critica nei confronti della televisione quanto un'espressione della sua rabbia «contro la disumanizzazione delle persone», col passare degli anni gli è stata riconosciuta la capacità di anticipare alcuni aspetti della società e cultura americane contemporanee, dalla commistione tra informazione e intrattenimento alla proliferazione di reality show e all'influenza dominante delle grandi corporation

We're in a lot of trouble! So, a rich little man with white hair died. What does that got to do with the price of rice, right? And why is that woe to us? Because you people and sixty-two million other Americans are listening to me right now. Because less than three percent of you people read books. Because less than fifteen percent of you read newspapers. Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube. This tube is the Gospel. The ultimate revelation! This tube can make or break...

Siberian Iris

Siberian Iris
I wrote "Siberian Iris" as an anti war song for Ukraine. Ever since February 2022, I've been watching the unfolding events with horror. I've lived in Britain and on the European continent, so I LOVE Europe. And I hate to see the breakdown in communication like this.

So I made this anti war music video. And I'm joining other musicians on YouTube who've written their own "stand with Ukraine" song. I hope I can raise money for the Ukrainian people (links below!), but I also hope that people affected by the war will take strength and hope from this song. That's what the Siberian iris flower stands for: strength and hope

This song is also for the large number of Russian citizens who don't support the war, and have bravely adopted the "нет войны" slogan ("No to war"), despite the risks to their own freedom and well-being.
