Appeal of 18 June From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Appeal of 18th June was a famous speech by Charles de Gaulle, the leader of the Free French Forces, in 1940. The appeal is the origin of the French Resistance to the German occupation during World War II. De Gaulle spoke to the French people from London after the fall of France. He declared the war for France was not yet over, and rallied the country in support of the Resistance.
Translation of the speech
On June 18, 1940, at 19:00, de Gaulle's voice was broadcast nationwide, saying:
"The leaders who, for many years, were at the head of French armies, have formed a government. This government, alleging our armies to be undone, agreed with the enemy to stop fighting. Of course, we were subdued by the mechanical, ground and air forces of the enemy. Infinitely more than their number, it was the tanks, the airplanes, the tactics of the Germans which made us retreat. It was the tanks, the airplanes, the tactics of the Germans that surprised our leaders to the point to bring them there where they are today.
"But has the last word been said? Must hope disappear? Is defeat final? No!
"Believe me, I speak to you with full knowledge of the facts and tell you that nothing is lost for France. The same means that overcame us can bring us to a day of victory. For France is not alone! She is not alone! She is not alone! She has a vast Empire behind her. She can align with the British Empire that holds the sea and continues the fight. She can, like England, use without limit the immense industry of the United States.
"This war is not limited to the unfortunate territory of our country. This war is not finished by the Battle of France. This war is a worldwide war. All the faults, all the delays, all the suffering, do not prevent there to be, in the world, all the necessary means to one day crush our enemies. Vanquished today by mechanical force, we will be able to overcome in the future by a superior mechanical force.
"The destiny of the world is here. I, General de Gaulle, currently in London, invite the officers and the French soldiers who are located in British territory or who would come there, with their weapons or without their weapons, I invite the engineers and the special workers of armament industries who are located in British territory or who would come there, to put themselves in contact with me.
"Whatever happens, the flame of the French resistance must not be extinguished and will not be extinguished. Tomorrow, as today, I will speak on Radio London."

sharp SALUTE!
Thin Air Privilege: "Torn Across the Page" http://musicnation.com/music/thinair/torn-across-the-page (Oh yeah, now were talkin my kind of shit! I appreciate all music, I really do. But nothing gets me going like hard music like this. It kinda sounded to me, like a way heavier Nirvana as far as the catchiness, but with better vox and better guitars. There's some classic rock elements here too, but with in-fucking-credible vox that can screech and scream, as well as sing. Kris Grimes' vocals, to me, is a cross between Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) and Chester Bennington (Linkin Park). But just as he has his own voice, TAP has their own sound that will kick your ass and make you "TAP" out!)
Jami: "Rover, She lied to me" http://musicnation.com/music/jami/rover-she-lied-to-me (All I can say is wow! Jami takes you back with a modern version of a 50's Rhythm and Blues style, that had more feeling than you can imagine. Along with his great music and awesome vox, comes a very heartfelt message that I too support. Here's the link that he has in the description area of this song. If you are ready and able to take care of one of the best friends you could ever have, visit http://www.petfinder.com . Thanx Jami, for using your incredible talent to open the doors of happiness for people and incredibly loyal and loving animals.)
LERON: "Now they hear me" http://musicnation.com/music/leron08nupain/now-they-hear-me (What seriously impresses me along with his voice and his "Nupain" telling of rhymes, is that this dude raps to great music and beats. Super original music, trippy and heavy like in "Defensive boy" and "I won't change", his background music will hyp-hop-notize you, while his voice gets his point across to you. Definitely holla at him! Hmm, HypHopNotize...I think I'll use that. lol.)
Juan Jose Ramos: "Quiero Ser" http://musicnation.com/music/johnny500/quiero-ser (Just with a basic recording of him singing and playin an acoustic guitar, Jose delivers awesome latin songs that are simple and sensual. Kinda like a latino Jack Johnson, but more like Robi Draco Rosa's acoustical rock. Even if you don't understand Español aka "the language of lovers", you're sure to feel the love! Artistico y muy bonito, eres estos canción! I think that's right. lol.)
COOKIE CUTTER GIRL, Pop Superhero!: "Get the Picture" http://musicnation.com/music/cookiecuttergirl/get-the-picture (Although CCG has a very sexy and escentric look, the songs are straight to the point- no gimmicks- ass kicking rock n roll! Killer lyrics sung with a killer voice, these songs are loaded with very catchy hooks, vocally and musically, as the band members also impressed the hell outta me! Also check out the live video version of this song "COOKIE CUTTER GIRL, POP SUPERHERO, Live Concert in Boston,MA". The whole band is amazing! She's hella hot too, but don't tell her I said that. I saw the movie "My Super Ex-Girlfriend", and those Superhero chicks kick ass! And so does this one!)
Have a great weekend, and ALOHA!
<3-~One Love-~X
Elli$$ D33
Friday the 13th ~
I know what it is that I want !
Like the perennial Miss America ~ world peace & an end to world hunger ~
IN ADDITION I DO ALSO WISH ' the industry ' . . . . ......
... WOULD FALL ON ITS VERY OWN F**KING KNEES & COME CRAWLING BACK ~ BEGGING !!!!! . . . ( with enough cash to ~ buy that world peace & end this world's hunger)
But we take what we are given & keep moving to our goals with what we've got !
GOOD LUCK TO ALL ~ MAY YOUR WILDEST DREAMS BRING JOY TO ALL WHEN THEY COME TRUE !!!!!!
Peace , love & respect ~ your buddy ,

Wednesday's salutes:
Pedestrian X: "Neon" http://musicnation.com/music/pedestrianx/neon2 (If given a chance, this would be an instant hit. The music, the words, the video....... it all rocks! And very different I might add. Loaded with kickass guitar work, hella hot beats, and vocals that make you feel it! For me, them having other songs like "Carnival" and "LockJaw", Ped X seals the deal as being one of the most all around impressive bands around. Their name should be in "Neon" lights everywhere soon)
Pop Dolls: "Validation Dance" http://musicnation.com/music/popdolls/validation-dance (Dude! Dude dude dude! I absolutely love Pop Dolls! They are hard to explain, but for me they have that kind of underground ROCK sound of the 70's and 80's, but with a current sound using electro and effects very well, in the most perfect places. Plus lots of hooks and very cool vox! I had a hard time picking 1 song, as "Magazines" is another awesome one, along with an incredible video! Hot looks and HOT music, made me do a "Validation" dance for them being as Original as much as just all around great!)
Christy Jones: "SICK" http://musicnation.com/music/christyjones/sick (First of all, mad props for this girls incredible love for music. She expresses this love for music just as much as, or more than anyone I've ever seen. So willing to please and offering any challenge that you can come up with, via singing. And her singing I might add, ranges in multiples, from smooth Top 40, to gritty Rock. Her song "Sick" isn't what you'd expect from this sweetie. With weird and rockin melodic keyboards, she wrote, played, and sang this perfectly. She also sang this song, with a "sick" feel, while keeping it right on and somehow..... sexy. Sexy and sick? Go figure., but she did it. Promise! I can surely see this being a hit on the radio/mtv/vh-1, and you'll agree.)
Danielle Kalil: "Honesty" http://musicnation.com/music/danik/honesty (Oh my! After you fall in love with her picture on the player, and just when you think that nothing could take you away from that.....BAM! Her voice captivates you. And if that wasn't enough... she rocks hard! She's listed as PoP, but her rock level is like Lita Ford, but with a Gwen Stefani (When Gwen was cool) type of "sultry" vox, which she perfectly explains in her bio. Smooth, with just enough rasp to make it ROCK. Her vocal abilities I guarantee, will impress you. I was throwing roses at my screen. lol. I did!)
Justine Wilde: "Hired Hand" http://musicnation.com/music/justinewilde/hired-hand (One of my favs here on MN, Justine is very poetic in her lyrics, and even in just the way she communicates. She has multi talents and experiences, whether it be movies, music, poetry, or whatever as she has done it all. But listening to this song, in the rawest form, you'll see that she has great music writing and vocal abilities as well. It to me, sounded like one of those kick ass songs that would be in a Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez film. Which I guess, fits the bill considering her love for all arts. You will be reminded of the great Grace Slick when you hear her. Justine has chops, flair, class, and looks that kill!)
A-beat-a-beat-a-beat-that's all folks!
Love, Sex, til Death do us part always,
