Sì, sì, d'accordo. La lotta alla mafia, cosa sacrosanta, e tutto il resto. Però, per quanto riguarda il generale Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa ci sarebbero da dire due o tre altre cosette che di solito vengono taciute. La principale è a mio parere l'attività del generale Dalla Chiesa prima che venisse inviato a Palermo. Forse si è scordata la "lotta al terrorismo" e la repressione degli anni '70, di cui il generale Dalla Chiesa fu spietato esecutore. Forse si sono dimenticate la Legge Reale e le altre leggi speciali che trasformarono l'Italia in un perfetto stato di polizia, e i cui effetti perdurano tuttora: se si urla e strepita per i fatti di Genova del 2001, non si deve dimenticare che nella "democratica" Italia non è certamente il primo caso di sospensione totale delle garanzie costituzionali e dei diritti umani in nome del "terrorismo" o roba del genere.

Evacuation
[1988]
Album “Politics Live”
La centrale nucleare di Shoreham costò 6 miliardi di dollari e non entrò mai in funzione. Abbandonata nel 1989, si spesero oltre 200 milioni dollari per mettere l’impianto in sicurezza. Nel 2005 è stato convertito per la produzione di energia elettrica attraverso turbine a gas.
“This is one of the more recent songs. We have a nuclear power plant on Long Island which we've so far blocked from opening. It's a place called Shoreham, and it belongs to the Long Island Lighting Company, known as Lilco, which has assured us residents of Long Island that we need not fear any catastrophe, but if anything should go wrong not to worry because we'll all be evacuated from Long Island in utter safety and in perfect order, apparently. According to them, they had a test, and it worked ... So even though I felt immensely reassured, I still felt called upon to write a little song.” (Tom Paxton)

A li matri di li carusi
Version française – LES CARUSI – Marco Valdo M.I.– 2010
Tirée de la version italienne d'une chanson sicilienne « A li matri di li carusi » de Ignazio Buttitta, une musique d' Etta Scollo
Superbe chanson, comme tu vas voir, mon ami Lucien l'âne, à propos des jeunes « carusi », des jeunes gens qu'on exploitait dans les soufrières. Ceux qui s'ils ne finissaient pas rapidement écrasés sous les éboulements ou les effondrements, ne tardaient pas à voir brûler leurs poumons sous l'effet du soufre. Soufre, souffre, souffrance, soufrière, souffrière, souffrir, étouffer, mourir.
C'est tout-à-fait atroce, dit Lucien l'âne ne baissant la tête et les oreilles. Nous aussi les ânes, on nous a fait subir des sorts semblables. Mais pour des êtres vivants, c'est hallucinant, c'est insupportable. Ce monde est imbécile, méchant, sadique et avide. Tout çà pour faire du fric... Tout çà pour enrichir des... (Continues)

A MOGLIANO VENETO IL SINDACO LEGHISTA VUOLE "LA CANZONE DEL PIAVE" AL POSTO DI "BELLA CIAO" - (Adnkronos-21-04-10) - "Il 25 aprile si festeggia la Liberazione: cosa centra la pur bella e importante 'Canzone del Piave'? Il sindaco di Mogliano Veneto, evidentemente, fa volutamente, confusione storica e politica, dal momento che i fatti che ispirarono la 'Canzone del Piave' risalgono al 1918, allorche' l'Austria-Ungheria decise di muovere un grosso attacco all'esercito italiano, nell'intento di piegarlo definitivamente, dopo la sconfitta di Caporett; mentre 'Bella Ciao' e' il canto popolare italiano che piu' ricorda la Resistenza, la lotta al nazi-fascismo e, quindi, il 25 aprile del 1945, giorno in cui i partigiani liberarono il Nord-Italia dall'occupazione". E' quanto afferma Alessandro Pignatiello, coordinatore della segreteria nazionale della Federazione della Sinistra. "Ricordare il 25... (Continues)

You Won't Get Me Down In Your Mine
[1965]
Album "We Travel The Road"
“I was reading about the dreadful mining disaster in Lengede, north Germany and said to Shirley [Colin Wilkie’s wife]: "You wouldn't get me down in a mine." Although I've changed the setting to a coalmine, it conveys my feelings to any kind of underground work”.
(from Colin Wilkie’s Songbook)
A Lengede, in Bassa Sassonia, nel 1963 una miniera fu allagata dall’acqua proveniente da lacuni laghi artificiali che la sovrastavano (!!!). 130 minatori rimasero intrappolati. 29 di loro morirono. Quando, dopo alcune settimane, le gallerie furono rimesse in sicurezza e si poterono raggiungere i corpi, i soccorritori scoprirono che quegli uomini, nel tentativo di aprirsi una via di salvezza, avevano scavato per 14 giorni prima di soccombere… Un corpo non fu mai neppure trovato.

To show their appreciation for all his years of service they allowed him to keep his railway uniform, which consisted of a jacket, cap, trousers, waistcoat and overcoat. They also gave him a choice of redundancy payment of seven hundred pounds in his hand or a pension of about nine shillings a week until death. He chose the lump sum, which was just as well because he was out of work for two years, which to a proud man like him was almost unbearable. He even refused unemployment pay, said he'd rather starve, which he nearly did.”

'Storia' per la morte di Lorenzo Panepinto
à partir de la version italienne d'une chanson sicilienne « Storia » per la morte di Lorenzo Panepinto – Rosa Balistreri – 1978
Lorenzo Panepinto (1865 – 1911) : un instituteur de l'école primaire de S. Stefano di Quisquinia (Agrigento), enseignant, socialiste et syndicaliste, il fut – pour tout cela – assassiné par la mafia le 16 mai 1911, devant chez lui, de deux coups de fusil. Il avait organisé les ouvriers agricoles en une Lega (Ligue) et obtenu la première gestion collective d'un ex « feudo » (grand domaine), éliminant ainsi l'exploitation parasite des « intermédiaires » (gérants...), c'est-à-dire des mafieux. Il est d'un grand intérêt sociologique de signaler que seule la prostituée du village alla jusqu'à affronter l'assassin pour le dévoiler et faire voir qui il était. Elle disparut également.

Dal film "Rebetico" di Kostas Ferris, 1983
Si tratta di una delle canzoni del film "Rebetico" del 1983. Xarchakos è magico nella imitazione dei colori e dei suoni della musica che girava allora nei bassifondi e che veniva dalla Micrasìa (Asia Minore); e Gatsos con le parole gli va dietro da dio. Parla di Mihalis, uno spacciatore un po' maldestro di "mavraki" (la "negretta" cioè di erba da fumare) e forse di qualcos'altro, che viene fregato (come qui si dice: gli tagliano il filo dell'aquilone) da altri balordi, fino a che non se lo pigliano "le belve" e lo sbattono dentro, e addio. I quartieri di Atene citati, Amfiali e Trumba non erano dei più distinti.
