Think Out LoudWhat Harney County officials and residents think about the 10-year anniversary of Malheur occupation On Jan. 2, 2016, a dozen armed anti-government militants led by Ammon Bundy and his brother, Ryan, took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters outside of Burns in Harney County.

Radio Giap Rebelde - l'audioteca di Wu Ming - Archivio 2011 - 2016OPB / Canzone del Capitano GertRipescaggio / L’OPB (Osteria Popolare Berica) è un’orchestrina di “folk da combattimento” nata a Vicenza agli inizi del millennio. Questo brano, tratto dall’album Farabutti e faraboloni (2005) , ripercorre il cammino e le avventure dell’anonimo protagonista di Q, dalla Guerra dei Contadini alla comune di Muenster, dall’Anversa dei banchieri alla Venezia degli intrighi. Quattro minuti forsennati, versi che irrompono nelle orecchie e rimangono incisi a nord del nervo ottico.<br>
