Bianconera da sempre, Natalie si e' dilettata nel ricamo e nei giochi
di pazienza nonche' alla televisione di sceneggiate a puntate, per lo
piu' americane. Si distingue per aver ribattezzato il proprio fratello

Listen

A offering to the Great Leader from the Poetry Czar
of the Greenpoint Autonomous Region of Leaderonia
in honor of the Great Delivery...if a bit late...

 

Listen,
if stars are lit
it means - there is someone who needs it.
It means - someone wants them to be,
that someone deems those specks of spit
magnificent.

And overwrought,
in the swirls of afternoon dust,
he bursts in on the Great Leader,
afraid he might be already late.
In tears,
he kisses the Great Leader's sinewy hand
and begs him to guarantee
that there will definitely be a star.
He swears
he won't be able to stand
that starless ordeal.

Later,
He wanders around, worried,
but outwardly calm.

And to everyone else, he says:
'Now,
it's all right.
You are no longer afraid,
are you?'

Listen,
if stars are lit,
it means - there is someone who needs it.
It means it is essential
that every evening
at least one star should ascend
over the crest of the building.

1914
(Vladimir Mayakovsky, translated by the Czar)

1969, a year that saw the World population estimated at 3.7
billion and growing by 2.04 per cent annually, a year in which
Secretary-General U Thant concludes that Members of the United
Nations have perhaps 10 years left to launch a global partnership
to improve the human environment, address population growth
and to provide the required momentum to development efforts.
A year of immense technology achievements, from the seat belt
on Chrysler cars to the first Corcorde flight to the landing on the
Moon seeng in a television broadcast by 600 million people.
A year that witness the bend of creativity in the arts, leaving
no hope to a safe return, where Graffiti had fully developed into
an art form, with distinctive styles, trends and schools,
graffiti is one of the four elements of hip hop, the musical form
of which is influenced by the success of the Last Poets and similar
artists, beginning that year.
The Woodstock Music and Art Festival was held at Max Yasgur's
dairy farm inBethel, New York, near Woodstock. Although 10,000
or 20,000 people were expected, over 400,000 attended. Among
the many artists who performed were Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez,
Joe Cocker, The Who,Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and the Grateful

Leaderonia Monthly Bulletin

LEADERONIA- After a brief break into the intense process of
freedomization, the Great Leader return to spread hopes and
policies among the people of Leaderonia.
There has been rumor that the lower leaders of the provinces
have meet in the Alps to oppose the Great Leader's project,
the Grand Project, which would free all people of the world
of the pest of unlawful private business, unregulated markets
and above all, advertising and marketing, and also there are
reports confirming that the Lord of the Unisted States,
the fanatical religious leader of the land on which Leaderonia
has its State, is posed to deliver the annual speech in which
he will declare war to his own people's social security, aiming
at luring young workers with promises of wealth for their old
age only if they leave their money outside their door for the
free market to pick up, close their eyes, and count to 2028.
[recommended explanation for young workers here]

The Grand Project is the Great Leader's agenda for this month
of February, in which astrologers have seen an extraordinary
opportunity for success, as the GL 's rulers planets Jupiter and
Neptune are joining forces to stand behind him in the effort to
finish a long sought project.

The Department of Statistics have realease the monthly report
for January 2005, in which shows a huge increments of hits and
record breaking numbers:
January 19th was the Highest Day and Week 3 the Highest Week
of visitors to Leaderonia since the Great Leader returned.
So far the Department has counted 1154 unique visitors and
323 returning Leaderonians.
The preferred hour of the day is the 11th hour antimeridian.

The Department of Homeland Welcomization would like to
thanks all visitors and extend the invite to stay in Leaderonia
to experience the unique process of Freedomization, and
to seek justice and peace thru the words of the Great Leader.
