Vain, angry and a fan of Stalin. Controritratto del "mito" Pertini

Of Marcello Veneziani

Ah, Sandro Pertini, the president of the republic most loved by Italians. The people's president, of children, the cartoon with the pipe, the partisan president who abandons the protocol. The Impertinent. The Pure. Forty years after his election to the Quirinale, in a celebratory deluge, A hagiographic film about him will be released tomorrow at the cinema. We would like to integrate the holy card by telling the story of the other Pertini.
Upon Stalin's death in 1953, comrade Pertini, former pro-Soviet director of Avanti! and at the time the leader of the socialist group celebrated the dictator in Parliament. Here's what he said in Avanti!: «Comrade Stalin ended his day well, even if too early for us and for the fate of the world. His last word was peace. (…) One is amazed by the size of this figure… Men of every creed, friends and adversaries, must today recognize the immense stature of Joseph Stalin. He is a giant of history and his memory will never fade.". That praise, never retracted by Pertini, not even after all Stalin's crimes became known, it does not honor a fighter for freedom and the rights of peoples. Read More

"Ecco le persone da colpire". The shock list of anti-fascists
by

An antagonistic blog from Emilia indicates centre-right politicians and party headquarters. The first bombs exploded. Bignami (Fi): serious threats
Of Giuseppe De Lorenzo
« Get out of the way, o li leveremo noi». The threat, not even too veiled, is contained in the antagonist blog «Emilia Anti-fascist», from the subtitle of as trump memory but in a partisan sauce: «Making Emilia Red Again».
Making Emilia red again. Intimidation could be classified as the ravings of some fanatic, except that the social centers themselves have released a detailed dossier with names, surnames, addresses and movements of all the right-wing realities in Modena, Reggio Emilia, Carpi and Bologna. A real witch hunt against those who don't think like them. Including parliamentarians, city ​​councilors and ordinary citizens.
The dossier too closely resembles the gloomy files drawn up by Avanguardia Operaia in the Years of Lead. Then the "comrades" put together 10 thousand files with photos and data of alleged neo-fascist militants. Today the antagonists do the same, providing timely online descriptions of the activities not only of far-right groups such as Forza Nuova and CasaPound. But also of Forza Italia, League, Brothers of Italy and various student associations. The goal? Create an "increasingly participatory mobilization against the neo-fascist presence" in Emilia. Mobilization that, according to what is written in the blog, provides for the implementation of «violent actions that can be considered right on a strategic level». Translated: hitting a "comrade" is not a crime. Read More

Merkel, Macron alongside May: war on Russia!
by

Of Maurizio Blondet
Merkel's government has sided with London in accusing Russia of poisoning former spy Skripal. Indeed, he was the first of the new grand coalition government. The Minister of Defense, Ursula von der Leyen: “Now it is essential that we stand firmly alongside the English”. According to DWN, this serves to prepare the German public for new and more serious sanctions against Moscow, not only economic but political, so as to make Russia a pariah state. Macron also took sides. Obviously, Nikki Haley. There are signs that the West is preparing to expel Russia from the UN Security Council, that the Soviet Union gained with the bloody victory of the Second World War.
As for the nerve agent that May accuses the Russians of having used, il Novichok, it was produced by a Russian chemist who fled to the USA since 1994, Vir Mirzanyanov. Who published the formula in the autobiographical book, “State Secrets: An Insider’s Chronicle of the Russian Chemical Weapons Program” (2008) in which he tells how he heroically opposed Putin's power by fleeing abroad..

“Only Russia could be behind the “, says the Inventor and former Russian chemist Vil Mirzayanov in a TV interview from his $1 mln. home in the US.

The point is that the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), that is, the supranational body that controls chemical-biological weapons, In the 2013 expressed doubts about the very existence of Novichok and his Scientific Advisory Board advised against using the components indicated by Mirzayanov in his book, in the list of precursors to be subject to prohibition and production control.
Still in 2016 the doctor Robin Black, head of the Porton Down Detection Laboratory, the British chemical warfare agent production centre, published an article in a scientific journal in which he argued that the very existence of Novichock was very little certain, based only on the assertions of its purported inventor, il sulladato Mirzayanov.

The great loser is the pro-European myth
by

Of Gianpasquale Santomassimo
The great loser is the pro-European myth
To all those who carry out very complicated and political analyses, who believe that a certain party has lost boatloads of votes because of a wrong little word on TV, for an incorrect goal in the program, for that indigestible candidate etc., a simple truth must be remembered: that the bulk of the electorate orients themselves and thinks in a much simpler way. If the "left" has become indigestible and unvotable in the eyes of voters, this will have concentric repercussions, from Renzi to Grasso and even further to the left.
The distinctions that political enthusiasts make, splitting hairs in four, they have no value and are not intelligible to the common voter. It is a question of understanding why there has been such a broad and probably definitive rejection of what has been considered "left" in recent decades. An unsurprising phenomenon, and that comes from quite far away, by a reversal of roles and representation of classes and lifestyles, plastically depicted by all the vote analyzes of recent years, which pitted the satisfied wealthy people of the city centers against the people of the suburbs who expressed a need for rebellion and protection at the same time.
It's not as if there was a lack of offers of possible claims, also very varied, even if of poor quality: at this point the question from the left was missing, let's say. The whole left (moderate, radical, antagonist) it was perceived and judged by the electorate as an integral part of a system that needed to be changed.
We are also witnessing in Italy the collapse of the liberal left which had long been hegemonic with its vision of the world. The so-called "radical left" itself had been nothing other than the extreme wing of this widespread ideology, very sensitive to the issues of civil rights and "humanitarian" battles, effectively inert in the field of social rights.
And also complicit in the construction of the pro-European myth, which is the great defeat of this consultation in the background. The Democratic Party is an integral part of the pro-European establishment, his left-wing critics are very often askari of the "more Europe"..
We are not only faced with euros and rules, but also a very powerful and pervasive overall ideology, a vast political and cultural front, convinced that "more Europe" is the solution to the problems that Europe itself has posed with its crazy implementation. It would involve undertaking a long-term effort to demystify - as was once said - the results of a hegemony built with many decades of massive use of cultural resources, media, economical, but which rests on very fragile historical and theoretical foundations, witnessed by that embarrassing document that went down in history as the "Ventotene manifesto".
The problem with left-wing Europeanism is that it is no longer just a replacement ideology for the twentieth-century ones that collapsed in 1989 and it is no longer just a "civil religion" imposed on subjects by the establishment. But now it is a real religion, with its dogmas, his acts of blind and absolute faith, the creed because it is absurd (I think because it's absurd) and also a massive dose of human sacrifice. At least start asking the problem, discuss it openly and secularly on the left, it will certainly be a positive thing (as well as necessary).
Without rethinking everything it will be impossible to start again. I don't have any great illusions, the Republic will continue to rave about populism and "sovereignism", the left will continue to treat the popular masses who express discomfort with their living conditions as fascists and racists, will continue to discuss "security obsessions" and imagine that "multiculturalism" is a gala lunch free of lacerations and dramas. The defense of the national interest will be left to the right, and even the exercise of the constitutional sovereignty for which we had voted 4 December of 2016.
«We are not interested in national sovereignty, we are internationalists" declares the leader of an electoral list that received 1.1%. One wonders since when this position, who even ignores the meaning of the words, and which would be impossible to explain to the Cubans, to the Vietnamese, but also to the Kurds and any other people, has become commonplace on the Italian left.
Instead of evoking the People we should at least start talking to them. When we decide to do it it will never be too late.

Alarm about the SSPX Chapter next July
by

Image results for Fellay and VaticanWe receive and report
A new "coup" of the General House is being prepared?

Of Marcel's correction
Published on the French site Reconquista
3 March 2018
Recently, a forum reader French-speaking Catholic fidelity raised an unexpected question, wondering about the meaning of the statements made to the Bulletin of the German District of the Society of Saint Pius, General Secretary of the SSPX in Menzingen, and relating to the question of the personal Prelature (The Latin Door, 16 February)..
In view of the next General Chapter in July 2018, Don Thouvenot spoke about this delicate issue, in these terms:

«It is likely that the question of the personal Prelature will be raised on the occasion of the Chapter. But it is only the Superior General who directs the Fraternity and who has responsibility for the relations between Tradition and the Holy See; Mons. Lefebvre, In the 1988, wanted to clarify this aspect."

This surprising statement requires threefold fine-tuning:

– the Superior General is not the "only" one who directs the Fraternity, especially when it comes to relations with the Holy See;
– in its functions, there is no mandate to represent the whole of Tradition;
– in this matter, the example of Mons. Lefebvre in 1988 cannot be called upon to support the position of the current authorities of the Society.

– On the first point: Please remember that the General Chapter is the supreme instance of the Fraternity; it designates the Superior General and his two Assistants for 12 years (§ V, 1 of the Statutes).
This same Chapter is also entrusted with the essential mission of «verifying whether the Fraternity applies […] its Statutes and strives to preserve their spirit" (§ V, 2).
During his mandate, the elected Superior General enjoys the broadest powers to govern and administer the Fraternity with the help of his Assistants. Together they form the General Council.
In addition to these rules, and following the General Chapter of 2006 who adopted the principled position: «no practical agreement with Rome without doctrinal agreement», the July Chapter 2012 has established specific provisions that specify the conditions for a possible "canonical normalization" of the Fraternity: in this hypothesis, a preventive extraordinary "deliberative" chapter must be held, that is, equipped with the power to decide on the guidelines taken into consideration.
Not having been repealed, these provisions are always in force: every action in this domain therefore requires the convocation of the Chapter, of his complete information and therefore of his deliberation on the content of the project in question, after verification of the six conditions formulated in 2012.
The decision voted by the Chapter is imposed on the General Council and on all members of the Fraternity.
This is what Monsignor declared. from Galarreta to Villepreux he 13 October 2012:

«And in this Chapter it was also decided that if the Generalate were ever to arrive at something valid and interesting with these conditions, there will be a deliberative Chapter, which means that his decision will necessarily bind (the members of the Fraternity). When there is a consultative Chapter, advice is sought, and then the authority decides freely. A deliberative Chapter means that the decision is made by an absolute majority – half plus one, which seemed reasonable to us – this decision will be followed by the Fraternity.»

It follows that the Superior General is not the "only" competent person to lead the process of normalization with Rome. On the contrary, he has an authority above him that, legally, it is the "sole" competent to sovereignly define the position of the Fraternity. Consequentially, Don Thouvenot is very wrong on this point.
And seeing that he, by virtue of its functions, he is considered as the spokesperson of the General House, we are surprised that Mons. Fellay did not react.
II – On the second point, it is evident that the so-called world "of Tradition" far surpasses, for its various ramifications, societies and religious communities, the perimeter of the Society of Saint Pius. It is enough to remember the refusal of Mons. Lefebvre every time someone wanted to make him the "chief of the traditionalists"!
The formulation that would attribute to the Superior General «responsibility for relations between Tradition and the Holy See» is clearly a perhaps involuntary inaccuracy, and Mons. Fellay should also correct his Secretary General's statements here.
III – On the third point, Don Thouvenot wrongly refers to the Founder to validate the current position of Mons. Fellay as the one in charge of leading the discussions with Rome. He forgets that since after the 1988 an essential parameter has been changed, namely that the Superior General, regarding any canonical normalization of the Fraternity, was submitted in 2012 to a prior agreement with the Chapter.
Mons. Lefebvre had not found himself in a similar position during his talks with Rome, and the parallel made by Don Thouvenot between the situations of 1988 and 2018… it's an anachronism.
And here too, Mons. Fellay should correct his collaborator's statements.
But it is unlikely that he will do so.… Because?
Why Mgr. Fellay himself in recent years has deliberately failed to convene and consult the Chapter before accepting the jurisdiction granted by Pope Francis regarding some sacraments: penance and extreme unction at the end of 2015, order in the summer of 2016 and marriage in 2017; while prior authorization was required, since in all these cases it is a "normalization" – certainly partial, but indisputable – of the situation of the Fraternity.
So, without risking making a reckless judgment, one can think that he has the intention of practicing the same procedure for the final normalization of the Fraternity, which would result from its erection as a personal Prelature.
In this sense, the opinion expressed by Don Thouvenot from Germany and the determination with which he declares that the authority of the Chapter would instead be transferred to the Superior General, It's a worrying sign.
Assuming that the question of the Prelature is actually "posed" during the Chapter scheduled for next July, these declarations of the General Secretary imply that the function of the supreme instance of the Fraternity, if the matter will actually be addressed, would be reduced to a simple "consultation", or rather to a "framework resolution" which would give the Superior General the power to deal with the dossier; with the Chapter which would thus be set aside and reduced to a mere "ratification office".
In this way, the underlying doctrinal debate would be discarded.
Under these conditions, how to guarantee that the Chapter can carry out its task which is to verify the conformity of the normalization project with the Statutes, on the one hand, and to the "spirit" that inspired them by will of the Founder, on the other?
If ultimately this scenario is pessimistic (the realist?) turned out to be correct, and the Chapter, the one in July or another, came to authorize the transformation of the Fraternity into a personal Prelature, the «Copernican revolution» – as J. called it. Madiran – of the work of Mons. Lefebvre would be brought to fruition and the legacy of the great prelate would fall like a ripe fruit into the hands of the cultists of the Second Vatican Council.
In the new canonical context in which it would find itself, under the power of Pope Francis, what kind of protection could the Fraternity hope for from conciliar Rome?
If in fact the Superior General (or the Chapter) they "forget" or circumvent the directives given by the Monsignor. Lefebvre after the consecrations, the statutory constraints of the Fraternity and the "limits" – already softened – decided in the Chapter of 2012, how could the Society demand that the Roman modernists honor their commitments when the Society itself will be totally under their legal protection?
Imagine that current Rome will respect the doctrinal and pastoral space of the Prelature, it means knowing this Rome badly; also taking into account the fact that Mons. Fellay takes his liberties with the internal rules of the Fraternity and ignores the prudent warnings of the Founder.
Who will be able to ensure that at that point the Fraternity, one day or another, does not suffer the fate of the Franciscans of the Immaculate Conception?
Before the decisive step towards the Prelature is taken and the irreparable is reached, the last hopes are placed in the capitulars themselves: that they do not renounce their responsibilities on every aspect of the issue.
In these difficult circumstances, it is hoped that their conscience will be firmly oriented along the paths of supernatural prudence, even if they risk a confrontation with those who seek impossible compromises to the detriment of the battle for the Faith.
For this we pray to Saint Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church.

Of Marco Gombacci
The frontiers of politically correct this time they take flight. The Australian airline Qantas prohibits its pilots and flight attendants from using words like "mom", "Pope", “husband” and “wife” because they are considered sexist, inappropriate and offensive to the LGBT community.
The management of the Australian company has distributed a document to its employees in which it invites them not to use words such as "husband and wife" or "mum and dad" and replace them with terms such as "partner” o “parents” considered neutral and non-discriminatory language.
“We are proud to have a long tradition of promoting social inclusion among our employees and customers. We have always supported gender equality, marriages between same-sex couples and indigenous rights", says Lesley Grant, a Qantas executive. “For example, the use of the word 'chairman’ can imply that the leaders are always male", continues the manager, head of the “People” department & Culture”.

While between the Quirinale and the party secretariats, Italy is anxiously searching for the architecture of the next government, the new executive will be called upon immediately find further 30 billions of euros to neutralize the deadlines set by previous governments, that is to say the increase in VAT and excise duties on fuel (12,47 billion for the 2019 e 19,16 billion in 2020 for a total of 31,6 billion in the two-year period 2019/2020).
In the Finance Law of 2018 the necessary coverage must therefore be found, otherwise – starting from 1 January 2019 – the intermediate VAT rate will rise from 10 al 12% while the ordinary one will pass from 22 al 24,2%.

When the brain gives way to mush, with the satisfaction of the interested party
by

Reporting of www.unavox.it

Of Belvecchio

More time passes, the more we have to hear, of good and bad, but above all stupid.
We are in what was once the quiet Italian province, governed and governed by common sense, from respect for simple things and from what until a few years ago was called "fear of God". Well, from this province no longer normal, news arrives of the organization of an inconceivable nonsense, called “heresy festival”.

[anyone who is curious to read the program, the names of the promoters, of the "protagonists", of supporters and patrons, go to the website of the same municipality
http://www.comune.trivero.bi.it/on-line/Home/articolo53018466.html?largefontsize]

At first glance, one gasps, the news is so unexpected, but then he smiles mockingly, telling himself that after all, they've been making things up for quite some time, the most disparate festivals are organized and celebrated, that the more abstruse they are, the more they are applauded, finally we needed a nice heresy festival, almost like dotting the i's: what is the nauseating seething of the modern world if not a sort of uncontrolled regurgitation of heresies?
Yes, It is true, it's mostly about crooked and ugly things, but how could such things take hold if normal man had not first decided to turn his back on God?
Therefore “heresies”, both in the sense of mockery and distortion of the Faith, both in the figurative sense: of incredible nonsense, lavished liberally by those who have now given up on making use of that reason granted by God to man, unique in creation, precisely because it was made in His image and likeness.
But let's go back to the Italian province.
This nice thought came to the mind of a joker in Trivero, a small village near the town of Biella, today the provincial capital.
Trivero counts approximately 6000 inhabitants, and is located just over 700 meters above sea level in the Biella Prealps, which are part of the Pennine Alps, in the North-West of Piedmont.
We ask ourselves: What the hell did these mountaineers think of organizing the "first heresy festival"?? They won't be crazy?
It would seem so, ma, search... and you find that the same presentation poster reminds us that this small center had in 1307 some notoriety, when on the nearby Mount Rubello, called Saint Bernard, Fra' Dolcino and his men barricaded themselves, chased by the troops sent by the Inquisition and fled from the nearby Valsesia which they had occupied to make it the hearth of their heretical community.
On the San Bernardo mountain, Dolcino and his men resisted the troops of the bishop of Vercelli in vain, Raniero degli Avogadro, who together with other armed men from the Novara area, in Holy Week 1307, put an end to the heretical preaching of the millenarian Fra' Dolcino; who was executed on June 1st, after witnessing the burning of his partner, Margaret of Trent, and his lieutenant, Longinus from Bergamo.
It is therefore understandable how certain minds were influenced by this medieval fact, have been able to invent a sort of local value to remember, however undeservedly, so long as, given the devastating experience lived in 1300 by the local people, the story of Fra' Dolcino itself was far from entering their historical memory, at least until, nell’800, the freemason lawyer Brofferio didn't have the right idea, obviously interested in an anti-Catholic key, to build ourselves on a sort of legend, duly accompanied by wandering spirits and evil souls, of initiatory caves and hidden treasures to search for, both metaphorically, both practically.
In short, on the unfortunate story of the possessed friar, ended up building another false nineteenth-century libertarian epic, full of inventions and fairy tales just to harm the Catholic Church.
How can you look at this modern Piedmontese initiative without thinking of the freemason Brofferio and his associates then and now... completely disappeared in Piedmont?
But let's go back to the present day, when we read about the presentation of this beautiful idea, sponsored by the current local authorities, provincial and regional, a brief speech by a certain Don Luigi Ciotti, ultra-modern priest who by profession is a constant fighter against what he believes are injustices against the weak.
But before reading what Don Ciotti writes and realizing how he sees things from his personal observatory, it's better to take a look at this photo of him with Pope Bergoglio, where you see them walking and chatting hand in hand... maybe this photo explains something!

Don Ciotti presents, no less, what a sort of hymn to heresy, obviously seen from a Ciottian perspective.

According to him, heresy would be a "choice". It is true, but he forgets to add that it is a “personal choice”, which, far from calling for the choice of good over evil, remember that “personal choice”, founded on the free will with which God has endowed man, it can only align with the Commandments of God and the teachings and precepts of the Catholic Church, which is the Church of God; every other discordant choice is a rejection of God.
So, Easy on statements that seem intelligent but are actually misleading.
And Ciotti himself confesses this when he states that the heretic loves the search for truth more than the truth. And he confesses it without realizing it, since it suggests that "searching" for the truth, therefore discarding that offered by God through His Church, it would be a merit; which is false, also because either one knows the truth and therefore does not need to go looking for it or one does not know it and therefore will strive in vain to look for it, for even when he found it, not knowing her, he wouldn't recognize her.
This is what the Catholic Church is for: to offer men the Truth of God. Other than going looking for her!
But Don Ciotti is obstinate in his errors and allows himself to state that the heretic - who would be a good person - is the one who is not satisfied with "second-hand knowledge". Ora, unfortunately for him, the teaching and knowledge of the Catholic Church is much more than second-hand, but by the umpteenth hand, yet they are the only true knowledge and teachings that man must make his own because they are taught directly by God. And as Jesus Christ himself teaches: “Whoever believes will be saved, whoever does not believe will be condemned" (Cfr. Mc. 16, 16).
So, no heresies, no search for truth, but only adherence with the intellect and the heart, with intelligence and will, to what God taught through His Church.
Anyone who is a "heretic" will be condemned.
And if the heretic is "he who has the courage to have more courage", as Don Ciotti says, there is no doubt that today he who has the most courage, far from pretending to be a heretic, he is the one who rejects the speeches of men - including Don Ciotti - to give himself entirely to the teachings of God, they were also from the umpteenth hand.
If this is the presentation of the initiative, you can't say it's smart.
And because among those called "protagonists" there are characters taken here and there, including a false ecclesiastic and a false theologian whose names we do not mention out of Christian charity; and because the same concepts are taken up and repeated: “promote a festival that represents a moment of reflection on heresy, understood as choice and search for truth, both in the religious field, is…"; which can only mean one thing: promote error against the Truth revealed by God, in the name of a titanic superhumanism which is the same one that brought the world to the miserable state it finds itself in today and which aims to go beyond, until the total devastation of man, of family and society.
God permitting!

Il de profundis centrista e "moderato"
Source: Mario Bozzi Trails

Among the victims of the landslide of the Italian political framework , caused by Sunday's vote, there is also the so-called moderate centre. And it's no small detail. It's not just the neocentrist idea that has come down, with one eye on the left, of Casini and Lorenzin, and above all the old logic of centrism, intended as a place of mediation and political compromise. This is confirmed by the insignificant percentages of the last nostalgics of the Crusader shield.

Even the “legendary” Chamber of Pergine-Valsugana collapsed, what belonged to Alcide De Gasperi and entire Christian Democratic generations and then to Margherita, of the Ulivo and of the Catholic-inspired Democratic Party. To win, in that segment of Trentino, he was the centre-right candidate, a Northern League member, a sign of the political gap caused here too by the latest elections. A political gap that evidently does not call into question the strong Christian identity of the area, but gives it new meanings, in fact it makes it more direct, most popular, closer to the concrete interests of citizens. And therefore it distances it from the compromising mentality typical of the old democratism, available to easy ethical problems (those on the value of life, of the family, of traditional identity), forcing it to "radicalize" on the level of principles.

Psychoanalysis of voting
Source: Marcello Veneziani
One week before the vote the average Italian showed up in the studio, responsible and victim of the insoluble electoral verdict, and he lay down on the bed asking for a medical report on the psychological reasons that pushed him to vote like this, thanks to the electoral law.
It was immediately revealed to him a first brain affection: the Italian voter votes against, the driving force that pushes him to vote is more opposition than support.
Between moderates and conservatives the driving force that prevails is fear – of the communists, of criminals, of immigrants, of revolutions. Between the progressives and the radicals the prevailing driving force is hatred – towards enemies, by definition fascists, racists, sexists, homophobic, reactionaries, corrupt – and hatred towards reality, its limitations, its borders. But the thing they have in common is the vote against.
