Very Extraordinary Week

LEADERONIA- The Office of Statistics had registered Week 13
as the Highest Week so far with 132 visits from the People of
Leaderonia setting the record for now, and placing the Month
of March as the 2nd Highest Month with 303.

The past week was indeed EXTRAORDINARY, with celebration of
Birthday of GL Mother and Her Greatness and Personal Friend
Jane K and Kuno T, coincidentally with the secret marriage in Las
Vegas between the Minister of Infrastructures Ms. Numberonehitsong
and Minister of Chance Mr.Probably, which were helped in the eloping
strategy by no less than the Great Leader and Her Greatness herself!

In the far away City of the Vatican the Greatest of all Leaders Outside
Leaderonia died. Saddening the GL the news was performed by bells.
The daylight has returned finally marking the GL favorite day of the
year, while visiting a new Leaderonian, Ms. Gaia at age 6 days already
appointed as Secretary of Cuteness and Adorable.

More of these event in depth with picture soon after the Great Leader
signs the Yearly Sacrifice Checks.

Underwater Photos

Finally here the photos from the Underwater by the Great Leader
and Her Greatness, shot during the Marine Life Study
in Belize last month. Click on the thumbnail to see a larger photos.

Comments are welcome and appreciated.

The Great Leader and the Sea

Being born 650 miles from the Mediterranean and 200 miles
from the English Channel (commonly called the Canal De Calais)
the Great Leader had always felt a certain distance with the
open sea. This disconnect increased with the years of self
determination, while then living in the eastern seaboard of the
Italian peninsula, over the Adriatic, the young GL was very much
against the popular “beach sub-culture” that was required to be
accepted in the large social canvas. This so-called “beach sub-
culture” was so obnoxious to our adolescent hero that for years
and years he avoided the sea proper and all the beauty and
mystery of this enchanting world.
In the summer of 2003 all this came to an end while traveling the
French Riviera with the help of Her Greatness and her friends Mr.
O.K. and Ms. Wang.

“You have to relax.” said Mr. O.K., “ It is the only way you will
float,” continued Her Greatness, which introduced the GL into the
underwater marvels with the help of a mask and a snorkel.
Since that day the sea has been a destination of the Great Leader’s
curiosity. In the year 2004 an expedition was set to reach the sou-
therner tip of the Adriatic in the land of Salento, where from the
height of the rough cliff of Funniculiere, the GL oversaw a rocky
coastline of mythical proportions, the eastern water of the Canal
D’Otranto.

The Marine Life Study was part of the WHT, which the
Great Leader ended on March 5th.
Accompanied only by HG the GL reached the Islands of Ambergris
Caye and Caulker Caye, two world wide known sea lover destinations
off the coast of Belize, the former British colony in the south of the
Yucatan Peninsula.
The goal was to capture images of a variety of sea creatures never
seen before by the GL, and to attempt the conquest of the Blue
Hole, World Heritage site, a crater into the reef, 400 feet deep.
The first goal was a success, with the help of numerous indigenous
experts the GL and the HG had the opportunity to spot manatees,
dolphins, stingrays, sea turtles, eagle rays, nurse sharks, lobsters,
barracudas, giant sea urchins, puffer fish, star fish, parrot fish,
rainbow fish, angel fish, an infinity of fish, they surveyed a total of
16 site on the corral reef, including the Hol Chan, the Bocalar Chico
and the Corral Garden, over six hundred still photos were taken and
90 movies were shot both by the GL and by the HG who proved
to be a better cameraperson for her easiness in the element.
The second part of the Marine Life Study which involved a much more
intense experience was cancelled due weather conditions.
The expedition to the Blue Hole is then postponed but not cancelled.
To fill the unforeseen hurdle, the Study went on the mainland to reach
the Mayan pyramids of the Lamanai site along the lagoon of the New
River, which is surrounded by a virgin jungle dense with extraordinary
life. In this tour the Study had catalogued a long list of large birds,
specimen of the American crocodile and the peculiar primate Howler
Monkey.

On the way back to Leaderonia, the Great Leader made a promise to
be the stalwart of the upcoming Leaderonia Conservation Society,
the new institution for the protection of all Marine and Land Life
expect Human, and appointed Her Greatness the Chairman of the
Commission.

The report ends with a personal note from the Great Leader:

What my eyes have seen,
What my ears have heard,
What my nose has smelled,
What my tongue has tasted,
What my skin has felt,
What my heart has learned is the beauty
of this living system so strong and stable,
Beware brother men,
This whole planet is big and will swallow you.

It was Great

LEADERONIA- Officials from the Archives have released the private
photographs of the Great Leader festivities on February 22nd,
Leaderonia National Day.





Here with Her Greatness and his closest personal friend is the Great
Leader in what he himself declared "it was a Great night".

The Mississippi River Observation

Back when the Great Leader was just an unnamed immigrant working in the United States for a large corporation small service, things were hard, there were so hard on him that after five years he had to quit and find a better job.
During the dark days of the End of the Second Millennium, when the World was preparing for a catastrophic joke set by some mid century computer technician, the One To Be the Great Leader was scanning the classifieds everyday, until his old friend from Western Massachusetts, General Henery sent him a very important message which propelled our unemployed hero in the heart of Corporate World, Midtown Manhattan, on the 41st floor of the white slim tower, the General Motor Building, to start his adventure in the America’s Cosmetic Industry.

Little did he know, back then, for how long he would have being pushed that elevator button. There are days, more recent ones, when our Great Leader still amazes himself.
Three days after he set foot on that floor, finishing his training, a journey was planned to reach the banks of the Mississippi River in the Louisiana’ town of New Orleans, to celebrate the Great Delivery Number 30.
Optimism found its way through the loose colored beads rolling into the old streets of the French Quarter, and the warm season breezed over the large river.

A year later that river that was filled with tears, and it reflected the image of the end of an era. The Great Delivery Number 31, celebrated again in the mouth of the Mississippi River, was intoxicated with a ghost chasing experience. The optimism was over.

The Third Millennium came untouched, but nine months and 11 days later it fell apart.
The rest is recent history, the return of the Great Leader and the Freedomization of Leaderonia have certainly been the major events of our Land, however there was some business to do for the Cosmetic Industry and The Great Leader embraced the fight against Acne, and started the Skin Treatment Campaign. In a brisk morning of this February 2005 on the seat 1A of the Flight to New Orleans the Great Leader was looking ahead to face that river again.

Twenty minutes before landing at sunset from the window He saw the coastal line, where a golden snaky mirror was fighting the gulf which was shooting heavy tankers right up the river like full metal jacket bullets pointing northbound, right at the heart of Corn Land.
The bloody foam trailed the tankers, hundreds of them, lined up neatly in a military fashion. The scene was gruesome.

Was just a product of the purest irony the selection of the site where the Dermatology business would had take place. Right under the massive pillars of the giant bridge that crossed the wounded river, the Great Leader took care of business and after handing over the happy dermatologists the best and most sleek environment they had in years, he walked out the convention center. The sun was strong and He walked on the riverbanks for a while, looking at the water, continuously traced by the heaviest vessels He has ever seen.

He looked at the water for a while, enjoying the mist from a nearby fountain. And then he said those words, those pearl of intellect that we cherish so much. He looked at the water and talking directly to the Mississippi River, He said:
“You look like diarrhea”.

The WHT Report

After 5 weeks of intense discovering around the Western Hemisphere,
in which the Great Leader first walked miles in the convention center of
New Orleans, then came back to celebrate the Great Delivery number
36, pick Her Greatness up, zoom to the Islands of Ambergris Caye and
Caulker Caye where together they explore miles of reef and hundreds
of marine life exemplars, then after being back to Leaderonia for few
hours crossed the entire continent to reach the shore of the Pacific Ocean
just in time to see the grey whales go by off Point Reyes, while being
educated by local farmers and participating in a social game, Leaderonian
are expecting all details, the Great Leader knows.
The ministry of information has been closed all through the GL absence
due to the lack of personnel.
Today, the first day of Leaderonia Spring, after meeting with the new
executive cabinet the GL authorized the release of photographic material
and personal account of what is known to be Western Hemisphere
Tour Report.

The first part will cover the Mississippi River Observation followed
by the Great Delivery Number 36 National Day Celebration.
The second part is entirely dedicated to the Marine Life Study that the GL
and HG undertook in Belize, including a brief journey in the Mayan Jungle
(this part contains moving pictures).
The third and last part of the WHTR is a Mixture of Nature and
Humanity in Northern California.

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

Fire everywhere

LEADERONIA- Having decided to wear only a light jacket
the One Leader, The Great Leader walked out the Red
Residence into the early afternoon to ear a roar of news
choppers north east of Leaderonia.
Once arrived on top of hill he could see four idle birds
scanning what could only have been Long Island City.
One half hour later after emerging onto Madison Avenue
in the neighbor island of Manhattan, the Great Leader
witnessed a typical firefighting scene at the corner of 57th
street and 5 th avenue.
Again from the 37th floor of the white tower where the GL
goes to help the cosmetic industry from time to time, from
the windows that overlook Queens, a few smoke column
rising into the grey sky.
And this is report from the NY News.

The Great Leader is convinced that closing down the Firehouses
around the City was a bad idea.

WARM NEW YEAR

LEADERONIA- Balmy weather has opened the New Year,
making the selection of clothing rather challenging for
leaderonians whom have small closets and all their spring
apparels boxed in basements.

The Great Leader which has returned to the official post after
the holidays of the year end, was asked about what new policy
will he provide to resolve this temperature rising.
Without an official statement the GL adviced fellow citizens
to complain less and to enjoy what human have asked their
gods for milleniumns : free heat during the winter.

Intraocular Pressure

LEADERONIA-Medical examination of the eyes of the Great Leader
revealed high levels of intraocular pressure which could lead to
Glaucoma therefore blindness, MD N. Klein said yesterday in a press
conference in the main hall of the Department of Sight.
The Great Leader was invited by MD N.Klein, to have scientific photos
of both eyes taken and be submited to him withing four months.
In a later cabinet meeting, the MINOFFISCADIS suggested the
Great Leader to use medical herbal remedy, currently illegal in the
Host Country of Leaderonia, namely Cannabis.

From the International Association for Cannabis as Medicine:

In 1971, during a systematic investigation of its effects in healthy
marijuana users, it was observed that cannabis reduces intraocular
pressure. In the following 12 years a number of studies in healthy
individuals and glaucoma patients with marijuana and several natural
and synthetic cannabinoids were conducted. Marijuana decreases
intraocular pressure by an average 25-30%, occasionally up to 50%.
Some non-psychotropic cannabinoids, and to a lesser extent, some
non-cannabinoid constituents of the hemp plant also decrease
intraocular pressure.

In most cases of glaucoma, the fluid that bathes the eye does
not drain properly and leads to increased pressure.
Some scientists believe that a defective protein produced by one
of the mutated glaucoma genes can trigger this heightened pressure
by clogging an area, known as the trabecular meshwork, that guards
the fluid's escape route.

Glaucoma is a disease where internal pressure builds up inside the eye. It is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. It is poorly understood and difficult to diagnose.

To understand glaucoma, one must understand fluid mechanics of they eye. The eyeball, or globe, has an internal pressure to keep it spherically shaped. The fluid inside the eye is responsible for the intraocular pressure or "IOP." Eye pressure is generally independent of blood pressure.

Eye fluid constantly replenishes itself. The fluid is produced internally. Excess fluid is drained via channels near the iris.

Eye pressure becomes excessively high when too much fluid is produced, or the drainage canals become blocked. High eye pressure can physically compress the optic nerve or interrupt blood flow feeding the nerve. In either case, the end result is nerve damage. This causes vision loss.

Glaucoma causes peripheral vision loss at first leading to "tunnel vision." Central vision is lost in severe glaucoma.

Diagnosing glaucoma is difficult because it takes several years for damage to be noticed even to the highly trained. However, there are exceptions depending on the type of glaucoma.

Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, is the most common type. It is associated with age (usually over 65) and heredity. It is usually very slow in onset and progression.

Traumatic Glaucoma occurs when and injury to the eye makes the optic nerve more susceptible to small changes in IOP, and alters the structure of the drainage system. Traumatic glaucoma can show up many years after a significant injury.

Acute Angle Closure Glaucoma is relatively rare. It can be due to iris dilation and blocking the drainage canals. This leads to a rapid increase in pressure, and sudden vision loss if not treated quickly. It occurs most commonly in the elderly.

Sometimes people have high eye pressure without glaucoma. This is called Ocular Hypertension. Ocular hypertensives are labeled as glaucoma suspects. It is not understood why some people with high eye pressure develop nerve damage while others never do. There is currently a 10 year study in progress to determine if ocular hypertensives need to be treated preventively for glaucoma.

Heredity is also a major factor in glaucoma. Both ocular hypertension and most types of glaucoma run strongly in families, especially in siblings. And African Americans are also more at risk for glaucoma than other groups.

Three things need to be present to diagnose glaucoma. First is a suspicious looking optic nerve. There are certain characteristics of a glaucoma nerve that are apparent to the trained eye. Second is a documentable, and repeatable loss of vision. Third, although not always, is an above normal eye pressure.

Sometimes glaucoma can occur in an eye without high pressure. This is called Normal Tension Glaucoma.

It is very important that people diagnosed with glaucoma, ocular hypertension, glaucoma suspects, people who have family members or history of glaucoma or African Americans get their eyes checked every year. These groups are at much higher risk for glaucoma than other people. The best way to treat glaucoma is to catch it early.

Glaucoma is a preventable cause of blindness, as there are lots of medications used to lower the eye pressure. Eye drops known as "beta-blockers" are most commonly used. However, many different drugs are available that target different aspects of the fluid mechanics. Because these drops must be used for the rest of the patient's life, and can have some undesirable side effects, it is absolutely necessary to be sure someone has glaucoma before treating it.

There are also effective surgical options of glaucoma. A laser can open the drainage system or filtering procedures can be performed. This is reserved for severe glaucoma, or in cases where medications do not adequately control the pressure.

Lighting Revelation

The Great Leader was down the subway system yesterday
to witness an horrendous crime.
Station Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Six MTA agents were on the job to change fluorescent tubes.
One man had a clipboard, one man carried the ladder, one man
carried a screw driver, one man dragged a box with the new tubes,
two other man carried their hands deep in their pockets. They all
walked slowly down the platform looking for what the man with the
clipboard assured was a defective lighting fixture, in this case it was
a dead one. The man with the ladder opens it and stand aside.
One of the man with the hands in their pockets move forward to hold
the ladder firmily, the other man with the hands in the pocket helped
the man with box to pull out a new tube. the man with the screw driver
approched the ladder and climbed on, then he removed the dead tube
and passed to the man that carried the ladder. At this point he recieved
the new one, he installed it and turned it on with the screwdriver.
Every man at this point retake the position on to a new spot which the
clipboard man had on his list.

Now, The Great Leader is a strong supporter of Organized Labor,
but he also opposes the MTA fare program that the State of New York
(Leaderonia host State) which will raise the monthly pass price and
cut down in services and token booth personel.
So what to do?
Those of you that are in support of efficiency and lower fare should
unite behind the Great Leader and wage war to the MTA, by writing
letters of complain and partecipating in public hearings ( the only thig
close to democracy, no that electronic vote non sense) , so here two
things:
1-If you know how to write here is a page to get some addresses and tips.

2-Speak out!

Lets take the fight from the tracks to the cushy executive offices
of the infamous MTA.

Most of Americans I know personally are smart, some of are really
really smart, so I am not so worried. But the ones I don't know
personally, well that's is the problem, I see they all have issues,

From The Office of The ONE LEADER, The GREAT LEADER

Goodnight America

From the One Leader, the Great Leader:

America,
beware of the cold winter upon you,
a long winter, the longest ever.
If it gets too cold burn your Constitution,
and keep your consumption of oil steady,
increasing and unstoppable.

America,
beware of the light of reason and hope,
as it might disturb your slumber.
If it gets too bright use a blindfold,
make sure it is tight and permanent,
and embrace the dark.

America,
you were born during The Enlightenment,
you become wide and divided during the
Industrial Age, and you overcome unjustice
and bigotry through your people's fights.

America,
you choose to sleep and dream now,
while the air is getting heavy, the water is getting muddy,
the waste is everywhere around you
and your children are sent to kill for more.

Goodnight America,
you sleep now,
don't wake up.

Visita in Italia

New Communication Device

The Great Leader and his closest aides held an emergency meeting just few minutes after the death of the Second Wireless Phone, the late Samsung SHD-8500. The session lasted six days and at the end of it, the General Secretariat announce a major change in the Wireless Plan for the Great Leader.
Without changing his Great Phone Number, The Great Leader has embraced the new Telecommunication Carrier, the Verizon Corporation of the USA.
Feeling no regrets for the old and untrustwordly Sprint Personal Communication the choice fell on what has been Her Greatness faithfull carrier.
As The Great Leader made his exit from the meeting, he waved his New Communication Device. the Samsung SCH-a650, a color phone, that sends and recieves text messages, SMS and little animations of a dog making funny faces.

Great Leader To Visit West Mass.

from The Secretariat of the Great Leader:

Today, our dear and saintness-bound Great Leader after attending the Televised View of a EURO 2004 Match will travel north in a journey that will pass through the old native land of the americans to loop around the glorious town Williamtown, to pay a visit to young enterprenuers dedicate to help the world people to get not quite freedomization but some spiritual guidance and weight loss. The official dinner will be held at the grill.

On sunday, on fathersday, our un-fatiguable Hero and carrier of the People's Hope will travel to the town known for the metal that made the cannons to shot at the british army back in 1776, the amrican revolution town of Springfield, that so much has done to reject the filth of the monarchy.
Here, He will be welcomed by an old friend and combattant of many battles, General Henery.
After many year of fighting against Corporate Boredom, General K.Henery A. with the Great Leader Himself in the battleground of New York City, West Palm Beach, he has gone on fighting more in Las Vegas, San Francisco, Miami and Chicago.
During the brief official visit the two old fighters will be talking about strategies and Motion Graphics.
No return date is scheduled for the GL.

Diversions and Doubts

The Great Leader was critized today for failing to dedicate his time to the art and the entertainement.
While still reading reports, dictating new legislatures, writing personal correspondance to the world leaders (in one of his latest letter the GL ordered the end of the funeral of Mr. Ronald Reagan, which "it has gone to long" said the GL), dreaming about freedomization, singing patriottic songs and dispatching hope around the people of Leaderonia, The Great Leader found the time to aknowledge the critizism and to respond promptly and squarely, in such fashion that it will dissolve all doubts.

Tonight the Great Leader and the Great Leaderette will attende a Dance Performance.

Following the Weekly Transit Diversion of the G train.

Today, after the celebrations of the ancient city of Roma [ Old Leaderonia n.d.r. ], and the tiepid result of the match between the first Club of the Capital, LA LAZIO, and the mussolini-founded club "roma", the Great One has worked on some creative legislation. Althought no one knows what the new laws are all about, the Great Hope of The Free People has expressed the desire of a radical change. The only indiscrection that was left to his aides was that He wanted to start a new constitution starting from the letter W. Posted by Santino at 12:22 AM | Comments (0) April 15, 2004 The Great Sacrifice From The Treasury, The Great Leader has been living in exile in the land of the State of New York, which is part of the United States of America, since the year when a lawyer from the state of Arkansas was elected to chair the government of the Union. Since then The Great Leader has performed the annual ritual of The Great Sacrifice. During the forth month, and before the midnight hour of the 15th day, The Great Leader has undergo the collective offering of money to the Treasury of the Union,the State of New York, and the City of New York. This year, is the third year of the Great Sacrifice to the hands of the government chaired by the son of a former chairman, whom had in the past owned a team of sportsmen in Texas. This man recently spoke on television to a group of information bureacrats and admitted to the world that he trusted brown-skinned people to run their own democracy. The Great Leader is glad of such trust coming from the temporary chairman of the administration of the government of the United States of America. Infact not only is glad but also thankful to Mr. Bush Junior for having taught him the word "brown-skinned". And so, 5 little pieces of paper departed today from the Treasury of the Great Leader Personal Checking Account, with 5 identical signatures of our Great Leader, today in Sacrifice. The Director Of Treasury Posted by Santino at 05:00 PM | Comments (0) April 09, 2004 The New GREAT RESIDENCE From The Ministry of Interior Affairs: After a full year of exile in the borough of Queens, our Great Leader and Her Greatness Mrs. Great Leader are returning to the hystorical site of LEADERONIA, the ancient city of Brooklyn. The transfert of residence will happen on The INTERNATIONAL WORKER'S DAY. The Ministry of I.A. for the G.L. Posted by Santino at 03:36 PM | Comments (3) March 31, 2004 GREAT RETURN SPEECH ON WISDOM From the SECRETARIAT of THE GREAT LEADER : The Great Leader has returned to his desk and promptly resumed the process of freedomization of the people. But he could not continue his work because he was distracted by the massive demostration of affection of our people outside calling out their Leader. He stepped in the balcony to greet the millions of demostrators, and taking advantage of the surprise situation he unveiled the new flag design, which he dreamed the night before. The new flag has the color of the blood and the color of the night with a bright sun in the center. The crowed cheered for hours before The Great Leader grabbed the mic and uttered the GREAT RETURN SPEECH ON WISDOM Children, We all are in a living state trying to find the way of the future ahead. A future, that is better than what we have got now. But some of you think that is better to fight against one other over ideas of a better future. This struggle has brought death and destruction upon our society. Like a cancer, spreading all over, today the ideological struggle is the reason why So much of what we had learned from the wise old people has gone forgotten. Children, Today, I return from a long period of infirmity. While I was under treatment I had a revelation, and here I am telling you. There is no better future if we forget what the old wise people had taught us. There is no better future if we jump ahead of our time to trample yesterday wisdom. Learn to wait for your turn, learn to listen and listen to learn. Children, Today, we lay a brick onto yesterday’ s brick. While I was away from you, I had a vision, and here I am telling you. I had wakened in a world where youth was celebrated and old age was repressed. Young Leaders ruled over their peers and old people were hidden. It was the law of arrogance over the rule of wisdom, it was chaos. Children, The only hope to the freedomization relies in the respect of older people. The path to a Leader Free World can only be found in the light of wisdom. Don’t let any young arrogant and disrespectful person mistreated elderly, As the sentiment of power is often misleading when poorly handed. Whenever in doubt or lost look around and seek the white hair. Health and prosperity be with you and your neighbor Posted by Santino at 05:51 AM | Comments (3) March 23, 2004 The Great Leader's Health From the Ministry of The Great Leader's Health: Yesterday morning after visiting our Great Leader, Dr. Levin confirmed the viral nature of the throat condition, excluding then the suspect of an infection of the laryngite. Althought The Great Leader wanted to be tested anyway for any possibile deterioration of the voice box condition. Dr. Levin also authorized a blood take to test the level of The Graet Leader cholesterol. All result will be made public at the end of the week. The Great Leader is in good spirit and conducts his day from his bed. The Secretariat of the Ministry invite all citizens to leave a message for the Great Leader.

Le porga la chioma, Ché schiava di Roma Iddio la creò. Stringiamci a coorte Siam pronti alla morte L'Italia chiamò. Noi siamo da secoli Calpesti, derisi, Perché non siam popolo, Perché siam divisi. Raccolgaci un'unica Bandiera , una speme: Di fonderci insieme Già l'ora suonò. Stringiamci a coorte Siam pronti alla morte L'Italia chiamò.

Posted by Santino at 04:12 PM | Comments (1) March 01, 2004 The Great Gift The first time, while descending through the white clouds, I saw the land of America, a foreign patch of brown icy dirt and shallow waters, later to be known as Jamaica Bay, laid beneath me, with my great surprise it had no sign of human settlements. America was virginally naked upon my arrival, the first day of the month of December in the year 1991 . I had left the Old World, the capital of the empire, a year after the Wall had fallen in the Iron Country of the Germans, the collapse of the Eastern Block had coincided with the end of my formal education. In an attempt to gather what I would be leaving there I had traveled the Boot up and down while the Pantera Movement spread rapidly in every corner of the Nation’s education establishment. The Grand Exile was then laid out for me when a 20-kilogram marble head crushed my hand in the last day of the Occupation of the Academy. While rushed into the preparation for the departure I had the time to release a document, known as The Great Gift, that was later distributed to all citizen of the Capital and the Province. This document , composed in a simple language , had 10 statements to outline the Commandments and Rules of the Mission. 1- Thou shall have life of plenty 2- Thou shall not prevent others from plenty 3- Thou shall lead ye self 4- Thou shall not lead others 5- Thou shall give to take 6- Thou shall not take to give 7- Thou shall fix what you break 8- Thou shall not leave traces 9- Thou shall not waste water 10- Thou shall not waste love Posted by Santino at 02:30 PM | Comments (2) February 27, 2004 22 days to Spring Advice of the Day   Heavy bedclothes cause restlessness and weariness. (from http://www.almanac.com/) Posted by Santino at 03:59 PM | Comments (1) Today is a Great Day. In the twenty-second day of the second month, on a Sunday of the year 4 after 2000, The Great Leader addresses his nation upon his return at the commanding post. Children, Today is a Great Day. From now on your Leading Father will walk into the Seventh Lustro. Be ready for the coming future, always calling for a new day. Words will flow, mouth to ear. The Great Leader is stepping on the past. Today is a Great Day, Today is the end of a dark age, an age of silence, That for too long has kept us apart. In these confused times of conflict and censorship, you have come to split yourself into many different groups; what was once an invincible nation under my command, has become a downward spiral of greedy children incapable of sharing the great gift I gave you on the day of my voluntary exile, a Leader-Free World. As I sat in the shadows watching over you, I observed how the dream of a Leader-free world turned into a nightmare. Today is the end of that nightmare. As I celebrate the completion of the 35th year of my blessed life, I want you to know that from this day on, you are closer to the realization of that promise, our dream the LEADER-FREE WORLD. Today is the beginning of the broadcast of the Word, as you need it in order to accomplish our renewed mission. All you have to do is to read, understand, comment and propagate. The promise of a Leader-Free World relies on you. Posted by Santino at 05:41 AM | Comments (5)
