Name: Bella Ciao by Walter Brooker
Duration: 3 min 26 s
Description: My version of this old Italian folk song. First sung by women workers in the rice paddies of Northern Italy in the 1890's. With revised verses it became well known around the world as the resistance anthem of the Italian anti-fascist partisans during World War II.

Gowans uses logic and reason to clarify the "genocide" accusations against China. Much of the information comes from Adrian Zenz, whose only mention of the word is expressed tentatively at the end of his report: his document does not conclusively state that China is enacting genocidal measures. Those who claim genocide are relying on the flimsy pretext of having two U.S. administrations claim that it has taken place. Apparently, the word of U.S. ruling parties is the same as scientific truth.


Who is this Adrian Zenz who has captivated our Parliament, including the NDP? Turns out he is a fundamentalist Christian who views feminists and homosexuals as abominations against God. He believes that abortion is genocide. And he is the 'expert' Parliament turns to about birth rates in China.
Zenz is also a Senior Fellow at the U.S.-created "Victims of Communism" foundation, a propaganda organization that follows in the footsteps of the old fascist international, seeking to 'rid the world of the false hope of Marxism.' This foundation has written that, in light of socialism's growing appeal, it will more actively propagandize to "discredit" socialism.

Gowans walks us through the various foundations and think-tankery from which this anti-China campaign originated. U.S. analysts like Paul Fuller emphasized the likelihood of the U.S. playing the "Uyghur card" as an option if relations deteriorated with China. At the base of this deterioriation is an economic clash, which the U.S. portrays as a 'clash of values.' The strategy is to use a "human rights" narrative to rally support against China.

Taylor and Gowans then demolish another shameful Globe and Mail article that tried to paint a subsidized jobs program in China as "genocide." It's a jumble of frightening words that are put together in no logical order. China's internal migration for jobs and economic-development programs are by-and-large more humane than what we do, extracting migrant labour from the periphery in a painful and chaotic fashion. But, like Zenz, the Globe and Mail is on a 'mission from God,' so we will suffer their white-saviour Crusading for some time.

Lettre de Louis Riel à Sir John A. Macdonald

In tribute to the 27 million heroic Soviet people that made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of the freedom of humanity. Their fight against fascism and imperialism will never lose its relevance. The best possible tribute is to take forward that struggle against fascism and imperialism, for peace, solidarity, equality and freedom.

Samples Paul Robeson singing Song of the Volga Boatmen.

FIND YOUR PLACE is a relaxed bossa nova in A-B-A format. The A-section is in a minor mode while the B-section is in two unrelated major keys. However, I let the last half of the tune vamp in a hypnotic, Bebel Gilberto-fashion during which the major/minor motif is sustained, but without any modulation until the end where it just rests on the minor.

Scratch It!
