Dès aujourd'hui Barbara est à nouveau étudiante!
A 9h45 je suis allée à mon RDV pour m'inscrire administrativement à La Sorbonne.
Qu'est ce que ça fait de retourner étudiant à 36 ans? Je ne sais pas encore. Je vous le dirai quand je m'assiérai à nouveau sur le banc, c'est à dire dans quelques jours.
Pour l'instant tout est très positif. Les gens dans les bureaux sont gentils, disponibles, souriants. Pour la toute première fois je ne me suis pas sentie traité en étrangère (vous voyez ce que je veux dire?)
En plus (et ça c'est une nouveauté absolue pour moi) j'aurai droit à des reductions avec ma carte! Ce n'est pas beaucoup mais c'est le principe qui compte. Je me sens privilegiée.
Bon, je pars, la journée est loin d'être terminée. Ciao!

 E Ti Vengo A Cercare

E ti vengo a cercare

anche solo per vederti o parlare

perché ho bisogno della tua presenza

per capire meglio la mia essenza.

Questo sentimento popolare

nasce da meccaniche divine

un rapimento mistico e sensuale

mi imprigiona a te.

Dovrei cambiare l'oggetto dei miei desideri

non accontentarmi di piccole gioie quotidiane

fare come un eremita

che rinuncia a sé.

E ti vengo a cercare

con la scusa di doverti parlare

perché mi piace ciò che pensi e che dici

perché in te vedo le mie radici.

Questo secolo oramai alla fine

saturo di parassiti senza dignità

mi spinge solo ad essere migliore

con più volontà.

Emanciparmi dall'incubo delle passioni

cercare l'Uno al di sopra del Bene e del Male

essere un'immagine divina

di questa realtà.

E ti vengo a cercare

perché sto bene con te

perché ho bisogno della tua presenza.

- Franco Battiato - 

 La Testa Nel Secchio
 

Ho messo la testa nel secchio

e nel secchio c'è acqua e sale

Ho messo la testa nel secchio

e devo bere per non affogare

Ho messo la testa nel secchio

dentro al secchio per guardare

cosa c'era dentro al secchio

e dentro al secchio c'era il mare



E chissà quanto ho viaggiato

quante volte sono stato

quanti ponti ho attraversato

quante scale che ho salito

Quando tu indicavi il cielo

mentre io guardavo il dito

E chissà quanto ho viaggiato

quante pagine ho strappato

Quanto amore ho visto in giro

quanto ne ho dimenticato

Ma ho del sangue nei capelli

e non so chi mi ha ferito

E il treno sta partendo

e non è ancora partito



Ho messo la testa nel secchio

come in un pozzo per afferrare

un coltello dalla parte sbagliata

o un riflesso lunare

Una stella camaleonte o una corrente tropicale

o la voce di una donna in fondo al secchio

che ti chiede "Sai nuotare?"



E chissà quanto ho viaggiato

quante facce sono stato

Quante volte ho chiuso gli occhi

quanta polvere ho mangiato

Quante volte ho chiesto scusa

quante volte ho perdonato

E chissà quanto ho viaggiato

quanta gente ho conosciuto

e se mi riconosceresti

dopo il tempo che è passato

Come sabbia dentro al vetro

come vento sul vestito

E il treno sta partendo

e non è ancora partito



Ho messo la testa nel secchio

come in un sogno da attraversare

Come chilometri di luce nera

come un bagaglio da recuperare

nelle stazioni di mezzanotte

senza volermi svegliare

per qualcosa che non ha orario



Ma non può aspettare

E chissà quanto ho viaggiato

Quante carte ho rivoltato

Quante volte ho preso l'asso

Quante volte l'ho buttato

Quante volte l'ho visto il sole

Quante volte l'ho guardato

E chissà quanto ho viaggiato

e se sono mai arrivato

Se ho scommesso, se ho pagato

Se ho promesso ed ho tradito

Quante volte ho confessato

senza essermi pentito

E il treno sta partendo

e non è ancora partito

- Francesco De Gregori - 

Plenty of crucial questions have remained unanswered. The evidence doesn't fit the official version of facts. More than two thousands people have lost their lives in the WTC, and it's not because it didn't happen in my country that I care less about it. After that Mr. Bush has been given the power to do whatever he wanted only in the name of 9/11. Many civils have been slaughtered in Iraq just for the sake of it. And, again, it's not because i'm not Iraqi that I care less about it. Plus, this makes terrorism to spread and enforce even more. What I know is that the truth about these events is not clear. What I want is answers that fit the questions. I'm fed up with lies.

 

"9/11 Symposium: Professor Steven Jones

Professor Steven Jones
gives an illustrated keynote speech about the role of
incendiary devices used in the destruction of the twin
towers and Building 7. Jones has often been cited as the
torch carrier for a newly defined 9/11 movement characterized
by science, common sense and credibility.

The material that was
first brought into question on the back of photos and
video clips of the twin towers showing a dripping molten
substance and floating white ash can now be confirmed
as being thermate, combining thermite which is used as
an incendiary device to bring down structures and sulfur,
which cuts through steel quicker and leaves a yellow residue.

Jones' has conducted
over 40 peer reviewed scientific studies two of which
were published in Nature and Scientific American. Jones
stated that thermite was a "clever" choice because
its ingredients, aluminum and iron oxide do not require
identifying tags by law, meaning they couldn't be traced
back to their manufacturers."

Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, a longtime Army intelligence
officer, publicly claimed on August 15, 2005 that the 9/11 committee
investigation was a cover-up. "Shaffer said that his unit had contacted
the FBI repeatedly during 2000 to warn that a US-based terrorist cell
was at work, but three times was forced to cancel meetings to brief the
FBI at the instruction of the Strategic Operations Command (SOCOM), the
Pentagon unit in charge of all counter-terrorism work."

"There is only one politically serious explanation of
this now-indisputable fact: powerful forces within the US
military/intelligence complex wanted a terrorist incident on US soil in
order to create the needed shift in public opinion required to embark
on a long-planned campaign of military intervention in Central Asia and
the Middle East. Whether or not they knew the scale of the impending
attacks and what the precise targets would be, they acted in such a way
as to block the arrest of known terrorist operatives and allow them to
carry out their plot."

On August 9, 2005, a front page article in the New York Times
revealed that a military intelligence unit had identified four
September 11 hijackers as Al Qaeda operatives working in the US a year
before the 9/11 attacks.A former intelligence officer in the Pentagon
unit named Able Danger indicated that the intelligence unit was
prevented by the military's Special Operations Command from passing on
the information to the FBI.

"Why was this information concealed?

"Because it points imperiously to the existence of a conspiracy within
one or another intelligence or security agency, not to mention the Bush
White House, to shield the future hijackers and allow some form of
terrorist attack on US soil to occur. All of the efforts of the 9/11
commission—as well as the entire official media and both the Democratic
and Republican parties—have been concentrated on excluding even the
possibility that something more sinister than bureaucratic incompetence
or institutional roadblocks were responsible for an intelligence
failure of staggering dimensions.

"But the evidence pointing to some form of government complicity
continues to mount, despite official whitewashes, cover-ups,
half-truths and lies."

"A report released June 9, 2005 by the FBI's Office of
the Inspector General raises new questions about the role of the US
government in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The internal
FBI study provides several important revelations about how US
intelligence agencies ignored and even suppressed warnings in the
period leading up to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon that killed nearly 3,000 people."

June 13, 2005: "A former Bush team member during his first
administration is now voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the
World Trade Center on 9-11. Former chief economist for the Department
of Labor during President George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds
comments that the official story about the collapse of the WTC is
'bogus' and that it is more likely that a controlled demolition
destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No. 7. Reynolds,
who also served as director of the Criminal Justice Center at the
National Center for Policy Analysis in Dallas and is now professor
emeritus at Texas A&M University said, 'If demolition destroyed
three steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the
case for an 'inside job' and a government attack on America would be
compelling.' Reynolds commented from his Texas A&M office, 'It is
hard to exaggerate the importance of a scientific debate over the cause
of the collapse of the twin towers and building 7. If the official
wisdom on the collapses is wrong, as I believe it is, then policy based
on such erroneous engineering analysis is not likely to be correct
either. The government's collapse theory is highly vulnerable on its
own terms. Only professional demolition appears to account for the full
range of facts associated with the collapse of the three buildings.'"

Gore Vidal's essay 'The Enemy Within' was published on October 27, 2002 in the print edition of The Observer.
In it Vidal claims that what he calls a "Bush junta" planned and
carried out the terrorist attacks as a pretext to enact a pre-existing
agenda to invade Afghanistan and attack civil liberties in the U.S.

"We still don't know by whom we were struck that
infamous Tuesday, or for what true purpose. But it is fairly plain to
many civil libertarians that 9/11 put paid not only to much of our
fragile Bill of Rights but also to our once-envied system of government
which had taken a mortal blow the previous year when the Supreme Court
did a little dance in 5/4 time and replaced a popularly elected
President with the oil and gas Bush-Cheney junta."

Internet radio and print columnist Alex Jones of Infowar.com now states without equivocation:

 

"My friends, the government just didn't have prior
knowledge of the September 11th al Qaeda attacks. They actually funded,
trained, protected, coddled, and shepherded al Qaeda into this country.
Trained many of the terrorists at Pensacola Naval Air Station, U.S.A.,
threatened F.B.I. and defense intelligence officers who tried to stop
al Qaeda, threatened them with arrest. Bush signed now public document
W199I two months before September 11, threatening them with arrest if
they tried to stop al Qaeda."
