Peppino Impastato

"The morning was fresh and fragrant with chrysanthemums
.

I just remember his face purple and fixed in a vacuum bell

the hiccups and a friendly voice:
" went to heaven to play with
Angels
back soon and play a long time with you. "

(poetry in memory of Pepper)

was the dark night of the Italian State,
that of the seventy-May 9 ..
The night via Caetani, the body of Aldo Moro,
the dawn of a state funeral ..

Giuseppe Impastato was born in Cinisi, near Palermo, January 5, 1948, from a Mafia family (his father Louis was sent into internal exile during the Fascist period, the uncle and other relatives were mobsters and the brother of the father was the boss Cesare Manzella, who was killed in an ambush in his Giulietta stuffed with TNT in 1963).

still a boy breaks up with his father, who kicks him out of the house and starts an anti-mafia politico-cultural. From 1968 onwards he attended, with the leading role in the activities of the New Left groups. Conducts struggles of the peasants expropriated for the construction of a third runway at Palermo, in the territory of Cinisi, and construction of the unemployed.

Founded in 1976, Radio Aut, radio free self-financed, with which he denounced the crimes of the mafia and the business of Cinisi and Terrasini, and primarily of the mafia boss Gaetano Badalamenti, who had a leading role in international drug trafficking through the control of the airport. The most-watched program was mad wave, transmission satire which mocked politicians and mobsters. In 1978, candidate on the list of the Proletarian Democracy municipal elections.

The news of his death passes completely unnoticed, coinciding with the killing by the Red Brigades of Aldo Moro.

few days later, voters vote Cinisi his name, being able to elect him, symbolically, to the City Council. Print, police and judiciary talk about terrorist act in which the bomber, "known left-wing extremist" would be the victim and, after the discovery of a letter written in reality several months ago, suicide.

In June 1996 (16 years later), following the statements of Palazzolo, identifying Badalamenti, the principal of the murder, the investigation was formally reopened.

Only April 11, 2002 Gaetano Badalamenti will be sentenced to life imprisonment.

too often on the anniversary of the death of Aldo Moro and Peppino Impastato, is remembered only the first, so it's important not to forget, and even read up on facts which are too often ignored or deliberately concealed.

"My father, my family, my country! I want to fuck! I want to write that the mafia is a mountain of shit! I want to shout that my father is an ass-licker! We must rebel. Before it's too late! Before you get used to their faces! Before you did not notice more than anything! "

Now the aizzapopolo has found a new devilry, was able to put together a radio, three and four scalzacani scrap iron, even the radio was missing! The aizzapopolo, among other things, is now believed not to be smart and report a ' other times his stories instead of Cinisi puts them in a town called, looks a bit ', Mafiopoli: Corso Umberto course becomes Luciano Liggio, the mayor becomes Geronimo Gero Di Stefano Stefanini, coach Marpionese municipal engineer, and Don Tano Badalamenti, with a sneer, Sitting Tano. Among crackle and static, for twenty miles around the people, the evening is fun to recognize the stars of "mad wave, transmission satyr-schizoid policy on local problems." "Here Aut radio: wave crazy." "Word of Sitting Tano, Mafiopoli great leader! There will be a beautiful marina, already under construction, where our goods will be able to leave undisturbed ... We can accommodate our fast canoes that carry beyond the white sand of the sea ... Our canoes laden with goods that-HEROES ... We can SMOKE in peace calumet with tobacco WHITE ...».
