Bascom Lamar Lunsford: I wish I was a mole in the ground

mit lieben Grüssen an den Luxemburger Anarchist:

I wish l was a mole in the ground.
Yes, I wish I was a mole in the ground:
‘F I’se a mole in the ground, l’d root that mountain down,
And I wish I was a mole in the ground.

Vermischtes

1.) Die Gesetze Hammurabis in Umschrift und Übersetzung, 1904 von Hugo Winckler publiziert, ein wichtiges rechtsgeschichtliches Dokument

2.) Die Cetinjer Zeitung erschien zwischen 1916 und 1918 mehrfach pro Woche während der österreichisch-ungarischen Besetzung Montenegros und stellt eine interessante Quelle zur KuK-Kriegs- und Besatzungspolitik und zur österreichischen Sicht auf “den Balkan” dar

3.) Aus dem neuen English Historical Review: Muscular Quakerism? The Society of Friends and Youth Organisations in Britain, c.1900–1950 von Mark Freeman zu wenig pazifistischen Tendenzen unter Teilen der britischen QuäkerInnen

4.) Rosie Huzzard auf Workers Liberty zum Thema Folk music and the far right:

“Nevertheless, many folk performers and fans are wary of the politicisation of their pastimes, and many more feel that it is enough to promote themselves as anti-fascist without considering the public perception of the scene and why the BNP was attracted to it in the first place. On the other hand it is no longer cceptable for the traditional scene to ignore the threat, or claim that their hobbies are politically neutral. This is positive even though it is still mainly a publicity campaign with a deliberately broad opposition to the far right. The organised left should relate positively to these developments, but also consider how best to influence them as the threat from the far right grows.”

5.) Von der Webseite des Southern Poverty Law Centers (SPLC): As Gulf Oil Spreads, So Do Slippery Conspiracy Theories

“Then there’s Greg Evensen, a militia sympathizer and former Kansas state trooper whose essays and radio broadcasts are featured on apocalyptic Christian and militia websites. Evensen described Barack Obama as a “socialist, Muslim sympathizing, gun rights hating, Mexican illegals embracing, abortion loving charmer” five days before the presidential election. With respect to the gulf oil spill, Evensen predicts that the government will begin evacuating 40 million people around mid-June from areas that will become unlivable because of a toxic chemical in the dispersants BP is using to try to clean up the sticky mess. In case that’s not scary enough for you, Evensen also suggests that possible “alien hybrids” pretending to be U.S. troops could be among those enforcing the evacuation.”
