(AUTOMATIC READING)
The recent Ipsos survey on Italians' opinion on the European Union went almost unnoticed. Yet it is a hot topic and the popular response is decidedly embarrassing for mainstream living rooms and academies, who have a monopoly on public discourse.
In essence, Italians' trust in European institutions has plummeted. In the 2008 it was around the 75 percent and again in 2011 reached the 70 percent: today it collapsed at 34 percent.
Italy was once the most pro-European country on the continent and today it is one of the most eurosceptic. Never had trust in European institutions been so low.
We were pro-Europeans because they had made us believe that it was all a fabulous dream towards cosmopolitan happiness, like a gigantic edition of “Games without borders”, a mass Erasmus with the background of”Ode to joy” by Beethoven.
And they made us believe that the Euro was “the land flowing with milk and honey”. Rivers of rhetoric, of false promises and illusions.
Then the awakening. The precipice that goes from 75 percent per 34 per cent resembles the sudden awakening from a dream. It is the bitter disappointment of those who open their eyes to something (or someone), after having greatly deluded himself. Photograph the shock of those who realize they have been deceived. And he feels betrayed.
It is the state of mind of those who thought they had embarked on an earthly paradise and instead found themselves in hell. A utopia that becomes dystopia (or even cacotopia).
HOW ITALIANS HAVE OPENED THEIR EYES?
The reasons are many: the discovery of European institutions even worse than the Italian ones in terms of bureaucratic obtuseness and costs; the arrogance with which Italy is treated (also due to the subordination of past Italian governments); the feeling that there is someone who dominates like Germany, while Italy suffers the decisions of others.
But above all, dal 2011, two enormous phenomena have opened the eyes of Italians. Primo: the migratory invasion that Italy had to endure, alone, paying very high economic and human costs. With Europe that – in words – he gave us lessons in do-goodism and then closed the borders.
Second: the consequences – devastating for Italy – of the economic crisis of 2007-2008 which have dissolved all the fake promises about the euro and the European Union which – to listen to the propagandists – they would have protected our country from storms.
In recent years it has been discovered that in Italy – numbers in hand (but also from empirical experience) – we are much worse off than we were 25 years ago, before the Euro (as income, living conditions and how wealth is produced).
And everyone knows that for the first time our children – victims of massive youth unemployment and precariousness that ruins their future – they will be worse off than us. For the first time in our history.
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS DECIDE
Furthermore, we realized that we are no longer masters of our destiny, that we are governed by foreign and unknown nomenklatures that none of us have ever elected. That foreign governments decide on us and impose their will in Brussels.
So we have the feeling of having been expropriated of our democratic sovereignty without anyone ever asking us for permission.
It's a right feeling. It corresponds to what happened from Maastricht onwards. Expropriated of sovereignty without our knowledge. After all, this is the real strategy pursued by the architects of the European Union.
It was expressed by Jean Monnet, who is one of the demiurges of the European institutions, In the 1952. He said: “European nations should be guided towards a superstate without their populations realizing what is happening. This objective can be achieved through subsequent steps, each of which is hidden under a purely economic guise and purpose”.
Hearing these words, Charles de Gaulle replied that Monnet wanted to create “supranational monstrosities”.
But over time it is precisely Monnet's technocratic plan that has prevailed. And here we are today “supranational monstrosity” to which the peoples of Europe are beginning to open their eyes. And to demonstrate their intolerance.

Nobody paid the bill and the owner of the "Taverna del wolf" in Gubbio, Rodolfo Mencarelli, he was forced to report. It was four years ago when he was scammed. And now that the prosecutor's office has ordered the judgement, identifying the two responsible for that scam, Laura and Amabile Casamonica, risks another prank. Called prescription of the crime. With all the consequences of the case, or no compensation for the damage suffered. Read More

France is one of the few (ex) powers of the defunct European system to have preserved and perpetuated hegemonic designs on what was its colonial empire, despite the loss of relative power, both in Europe and around the world, and the affirmation of a new international order that is no longer Eurocentric. In the beginning I was Charles de Gaulle wanting to prevent France's decline from a great world power to a regional power in decline and in a peripheral position in the new post-war order. For this purpose, France equipped itself with atomic weapons and attempted to reconquer the former imperial African territories through a policy of economic neocolonialism following the ambitious and visionary plan for French-speaking Africa developed by Jacques Foccart, one of the most important ideologues and strategists of the Gaullist era. Foccart's neo-imperial revival plan for France did not only aim at the reconquest of Africa, but to the expansion up every French-speaking territory in the world. The support provided by the Sdece fits into this context, the secret services for foreign countries, to the Quebec separatist movement, and that controversial “Long live free Quebec!” shouted by De Gaulle to the Montreal crowd in 1967.

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is probably the best economic journalist in Europe. From the columns of the conservative Daily Telegraph, his gaze sweeps over the business international without blinders and, above all, without becoming a megaphone for the interests of the upper levels. His recent speech should prick up the ears of observers and decision-makers in our country. Evans claims that a creeping flight of capital from Italy is underway. The proof is our liabilities in the Target2 system of the European Central Bank. In a month, increased by 39 billion up to 465 billions of euros. One of the causes would be the possibility that the issue becomes operational (which Evans sarcastically calls subversive) day Minibot, the parallel currency intended for Public Administration payments, but usable in general, since every means of payment works on a fiduciary basis, that is, if people are willing to accept it.
The worry (or the secret hope) of the markets is that Italian private savers, holders of very significant sums,join the exodus. The first consideration is that capital flight comes from large investors, by funds and investment banks, supported by the ECB itself. It therefore has an eminently political character, exactly like the manipulation of spread, not in the hands of metaphysical markets, but the Central Bank's blackmail weapon. Read More

A listener talks about the illegal occupations of public housing by gypsies: “then they show the children and the magistrate unblocks the eviction. Of course, children disappear, and they sublet the cots". In received or occupied houses, they don't live there. Rome stations unusable for trains, unpunished pickpocketing, with boys and girls as accomplices. In a neighborhood, citizens …

Tonight I admit that I clearly agreed with Meloni (to “white paper”): both on the topic of immigration and on that of the Roma. Those who are Italian citizens among the latter must behave and be treated like other Italian citizens. And they cannot stay in "nomad camps". Anyway, I imagine that those who know how to use the internet will find the intervention of the "sister of Italy" "quelque part" (scherzo). A statement from him, in particular, I found myself in complete agreement because it corresponds to what I have been thinking and saying for some time. It doesn't make much sense just to want an agreement with other European countries, especially France and Germany, which until now had turned a deaf ear and today, after the clear stance taken by the new government (of one of his ministers in particular), show some solidarity. In particular, Merkel is benevolent, which sees a situation of possible beneficial crisis finally taking place in that country between the CDU and the CSU, so dry that it even put the government already made up of two parties that were heavily beaten in the last elections in serious difficulties (especially the socialist as is happening throughout Europe!).

Didn't read up yesterday Republic the appeal of the twelve finalists of the Strega Prize who ask for the order to close the ports to be immediately revoked, «but it's as if I had done it, these kinds of appeals are all the same and extremely predictable". Only the day before Luca Ricolfi, sociologist, professor of Data Analysis at the University of Turin and scientific director of David Hume Foundation, on the basis of the Ipsos survey which gave the 71 percent of Italians in favor of Salvini's hard line - «not just the voters who vote for the right or Five Star, but also a third of the voters of the Democratic Party" -, he had signed a letter to the illuminati on Messenger: «Dear progressive politicians, dear committed intellectuals, dear enlightened manager, dear prelates, writers, singers, professor, television hosts, journalists who every day practice heartfelt appeals to cultivate a sense of humanity, have you ever wondered why so many Italians don't think like you?».
On the other hand, he tells tempi.it, «I listened (what are youtube) the thought of one of these witch prizes, that a few days ago, when the Aquarius had not yet arrived in Valencia, he confessed: "I myself, I have to say, con realpolitik, which I was also ashamed of, I thought yesterday, I wished someone would die on the Aquarius ship. I said: and now, if a child dies, I want to see what happens to our government". There's no need to even specify who, in particular, made such a miserable reasoning why, judging by the non-reactions of the progressive world (and indeed from the official defenses of his words, that would have been "taken out of context") one might think that what escaped a single intellectual was the afterthought of many. An afterthought that is not only a sign of lack of humanity but also of little interest in the common good. I find the attitude of those who harbor within themselves such great hatred and contempt for their political adversary as profoundly barbaric that they wish for anything that could harm the enemy.: today that a child dies, tomorrow the spread will rise and Italy will go under. And look, I don't love this government at all, and the only explicit public position I took before the vote was against the League and the Five Star Movement, because I believed them (and I believe them) a danger for the Italian economy. But this doesn't lead me to hope that they will sink the country, on the contrary, I hope they are able to prove me wrong". Read More

One hundred and ten years ago the British author Israel Zangwill completed the play The Melting Pot. First performed in Washington in October 1908 — where it was enthusiastically applauded by President Theodore Roosevelt — it celebrates the United States as a gigantic melting pot that fuses together “Celts and Latins, Slavs and Teutons, Greeks and Syrians — blacks and yellows — Jews and Gentiles” to form a single people.
"Yes", declares the hero of the play (like Zangwill's father, a Jewish immigrant from Russia), “Est e Ovest, and North and South, the palm and the pine, the pole and the equator, the crescent and the cross... Here everyone will unite to build the Republic of Man and the Kingdom of God".
It is rather difficult to imagine a similar play written about the European Union at the beginning of the 21st century. Or rather, one could easily imagine a very different one. In it, the influx of migrants from all over the world would have exactly the opposite effect to that imagined by Zangwill. Far from leading to fusion, the European migration crisis is leading to fission. The play could be called The Meltdown Pot.
I believe more and more that the issue of migration will be seen by future historians as the fatal solvent of the European Union. In their considerations, Brexit will simply appear as the first symptom of the crisis. Their thesis will be that a massive Migration of peoples [migration of peoples, NdT] overwhelmed the project of European integration, revealing the weakness of the European Union as an institution and bringing voters back to national politics to find solutions.

Catholics on the streets in Vietnam, a Binh Thuan, ad Ha Tinh e Vinh, for example, with rosaries, Vatican flags and banners, to protest against the granting of land to the Chinese communists and against the liberticidal law on cybersecurity, authentic Internet censorship: anyone who connects to Catholic sites risks prosecution.Law enforcement has already made thousands of arrests among protesters across the country, the regime has already threatened harsh repression. Which did not intimidate the Church: the Bishop emeritus of Kontum, mons. Michael Hoang Duc Oanh, also asked President Tran Dai Quang in writing to respect the will and rights of the people, to release those who have been arrested, as well as thus maintaining social peace.
The Bishop Emeritus also criticized the priests who are members of the National Assembly, completely regimented and for this reason they expressed themselves in favor of the new regulation on the web: "They betray our faith and our country", said the Bishop. Read More

They are waiting for them at the gate, with rifles drawn. On Rai, in the Ministries, in the public sector, everywhere there will be nominations. And they are already starting to mix threats and victimization. They resume, as has happened at least since 24 years, from the first short Berlusconi government, to talk about proscription lists, of severed heads, as soon as someone dares to talk about change.Take Rai for example. Once upon a time it followed a deplorable criterion called subdivision, that is, the tasks were divided between the parties. Then Renzi arrived and played the ace-winner; and he had no alibi, But I put the best in there; no, he put scraps, napkins, licks ad personam at command posts. And now, as soon as someone mentions from the government to need to change, they adopt a proven system: they raise the bar against the government, they mark more everything that contrasts it, because then they will be thrown out, they will say it is to censor their well-known independence. And not because they are inadequate, because turnover is expected in a democracy, because they flopped, and because they were there not for merit and quality but only because they were at the service of the company. No, they will protest against discrimination, victims of the populists, sovereignists, fascists, racists, Nazis, therefore fallen for freedom. Read More
