Euro: who are the Italians who have enriched themselves with austerity

Of Paolo Becchi e Giovanni Zibordi
Source: Paolo Becchi

Over the last ten years, Italy's GDP has increased by 100 billion. Bit, very little, let's talk about the "nominal" GDP, i.e. the value of the annual product in euros, which also includes the effect of inflation. Financial wealth (money, conti, titles, policies) instead it increased by 1,100 billion, ten times as much. Before the introduction of the euro, thanks also to inflation, Nominal GDP often increased by as much as 7 o 8% per year and even in the first years of the euro it grew by 4 o 5% the year.

This obviously made all the debt more sustainable, that property prices would also rise, that there were few “rotten” loans in the bank. Dal 2008 instead there were four years in which the GDP (inclusive of inflation) it dropped and after ten years it has barely risen since 1,630 a 1,730 billion.

Wealth in euros in the bank instead, after initially descending on the 3,200 around the 2009 has started to increase again 1,100 billion, and now it's about 4,300 billion. This is because the values ​​of securities have increased on the markets thanks to the ECB's policies and because Italians have saved much more.

Italians have net wealth (net of debts) per capita among the highest in the world, higher than the Germans and English and slightly higher also than that of the French. This financial wealth figure shows one thing: It's not true that everything has gone wrong in recent years, a part of the population, the wealthier and older one did not suffer too much. If we talk about real estate wealth, yes, in Italy property values ​​dropped and never recovered. Read More

The religious factor in the domination strategies of the Anglo-American power elite

Of Luciano Lago
Source: counterinformation
As many analysts have reported, the religious factor cannot be overlooked in the geopolitical structures and in the processes of change that are currently taking place in the world balance. It is not a negligible matter that religious belonging contributes decisively to strengthening the sense of identity of a people or a community of peoples or even, in certain cases, to reconfigure its identity itself.
As I know, the strategy of the dominant powers, the United States of America today and Great Britain, at the time of the British Empire, they have always leveraged religious affiliations and exploited the religious divide that exists in practically every state, with the aim of prolonging their domination over the rest of the world.
In the current era, since the war in Afghanistan against the USSR, the USA has exploited Islamic radicalism for its geopolitical ends, those of overthrowing unwelcome regimes or occupying strategic countries ( from Afghanistan to Iraq) over which to gain control of the resources. Just think of the use of Al Qaeda which was cultivated by American intelligence agencies, since the 1980s in Afghanistan,as the USA itself subsequently favored the establishment of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), for their own purposes of overthrowing governments and balkanizing the area based on religious and ethnic divisions.
It cannot be denied that confessional wars and religious conflicts have always been a constant in history, in Europe as in other continents, and these were used by power groups for their own ends, representing the longest and most painful conflicts in human history, with an enormous amount of violence and bloodshed that such clashes provoked.

Blessed/cursed identity. Altro che "fine della storia"

Of Marcello Veneziani
Source: Marcello Veneziani
What is the secret of the events that are changing the world, the engine that drives Putin and Trump, Bolsonaro and Le Pen, Ab and Modi, Orban e Kaczynski, Erdogan and Duterte, Brexit and the European populist and nationalist wave, up to Salvini? It is Identity. Ancient word with a new meaning; it comes from philosophy and the principle of identity, it comes from history and culture, designates peoples, indicates the personal identification document. Identity, sometimes intensified by an adjective: national.
An intellectual who is half political scientist and half philosopher dedicates an essay and a dry title to Identity, half Japanese and half American, the famous Francis Fukuyama. Yes, the one who stirred the intellectual world thirty years ago with his essay on The End of History. Then he predicted the triumph of the liberal-democratic order and the American model. Long disputed and even derided, Fukuyama imposed himself on the world debate. This is what happens now with his latest book, in Italy subtitled The search for dignity and new populisms (User). Fukuyama is not a particularly sharp thinker, original and profound, but he photographs the state of things today like few others, offers a global vision of the present. Panoramic photo, from the point of view of ideas in action. Fukuyama seeks a third way beyond the national-populist right and the politically correct left which has stopped representing "the white working class" and defends minorities and elites. For him, identity is a threatening animal to be tamed in a liberal sense, democratic, humanitarian. This is what he thinks of the nation which he wants to remove from nationalism and neutralize within a framework of rules and perspectives in line with globalisation. Read More

Paul Kagame: "Crisi migratoria è una creazione dell'Europa"

Immigration as an unstoppable phenomenon is one of the mantras of immigrationists. Getting to the bottom of it, it is interesting to note how characters from the same African universe deny this dogma, a little less redundant than usual since the landings of illegal immigrants have collapsed in our country. The thought expressed by is interesting in this sense Paul Kagame, president of Rwanda, during an interview given to The New Times and translated by Voices from abroad last December, whose summary was clear: the migration crisis is a creation of Europe.
The same Europe that first warned Italy about respecting the agreements Schengen, then he hopes that the newly installed yellow-green government “don't change immigration policy” and then again it follows the accusations of a fascist and xenophobic Italian government, after the first "closures" of the ports dating back to last June".
With good clarity, This statement expressed by Kagame at the time is particularly striking:
“Europe has a migration problem because it failed to address the problem early. Instead of helping Africa, it further impoverished the continent. Don't get me wrong: I'm not putting all the blame for the migration problem on Europe. Read More

Benito Mussolini è stato l'unico a tagliare il debito pubblico degli italiani

«If I could have a thousand lire a month» he sang in 1939 Maestro Mazzi. What times. The white telephones at the cinema and Amedeo Nazzari who threatened the plague on anyone who didn't want to toast with him. L’ Empire that had returned to the Seven Hills and c’ they were a little’ of other matters among which the most incredible: l’ Italy without public debt.
Un evento abbastanza eccezionale considerando che da Quintino Sella in poi le finanze pubbliche sono sempre state sofferenti. The only ones, but, who really managed to cure them were the ministers of Duce starting with Giuseppe Volpi, then count of Misurata. The first operation dates back to 1926 and stops the growth of debt . A video of’ Istituto Luce shows the Duce burning treasury bonds at the Vittoriale. The second intervention in 1935 starts the descent path.
MENICHELLA'S ADVICE – On this path the Duce follows the advice of economists who certainly don't like the black shirt: Donato Menichella, governor of the Bank d’ Italy after Vincenzo Azzolini who in the years of’ German occupation manages to save the ingots d’ gold kept in Palazzo Koch. Or Alberto Beneduce who shares nothing of fascism since he named his three daughters: Proletarian victory, Free Italy and Socialist Idea then married to Enrico Cuccia.

Triptorelin is banned, but above all, ban the ideology of gender

In the end l’Aifa gave the green light to the administration of triptorelin as a solution for so-called gender dysphoria in pre-adolescents. With resolution of 25 February (published in the Official Journal on 2 March), l’Aifa makes known the «inclusion of the medicine triptorelin in the list of medicines that can be paid for entirely by the National Health Service, pursuant to the law 23 December 1996, n. 648, for use in selected cases where puberty is incongruent with gender identity (gender dysphoria), with diagnosis confirmed by a multidisciplinary and specialist team and in which psychological assistance is provided, psychotherapeutic and psychiatric treatment is not conclusive». We had already talked about it when, incredibly, in the summer 2018, the National Committee for Bioethics (Cnb) had given a positive opinion to the use of the molecule for the cases in question.
Ora, we could follow the example of other associations that immediately questioned the safety of triptorelin, come Science and Life and the Livatino Study Center, who in a joint statement reiterated that the «drug is placed on the list of Ssn in lack of clinical studies and long-term follow-up; the risk is high, using the Trp to block puberty until 4 about years – come on 12 ai 16 years of age – of pharmacologically induce a misalignment between the physical and cognitive development of the minor». We could follow this example and in part we do, in the sense that it is certainly relevant and necessary to detect these dangers on an application level. The real problem, but, it's upstream, because even before contesting the application of a dangerous therapy, it is necessary to understand whether the condition on which one intends to intervene with said therapy, is correctly framed from a point of view that is not only clinical, but first and foremost philosophical, not to mention, even more brutally, rational.

8 March in Jerusalem, gli ultraortodossi attaccano le "Donne del Muro". The witness: "Ho visto l'odio nei loro occhi"


SILENT FEMINISTS

The victims, attacked because they claim the right to pray like men, they denounced the condescending attitude of the police

They have “celebrated” on March 8th attacking dozens of women guilty in their eyes of lack of respect for a Sacred Place. Thousands against brave women, determined to assert their rights. Ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups, mostly young students from yeshiva, the Talmudic schools Groups of Orthodox Jews attacked several dozen Jewish women “reformed” gathered to celebrate the beginning of the Jewish month of Adar and the 30th anniversary of their organization. The “Kotel women” (that is, of the Wall) they claim the right to pray like men wrapped in the Jewish cloak and to read portions of the Bible in public. A claim that for those who believe they are the masters of Jewish orthodoxy is equivalent to a profanation.

MACHIAVELLI, SAVONAROLA ITALIAN AND POLICY

This essay takes up the position on Savonarola expressed by our Matteo Castagna in his book, which still continues to spark discussion and which some students would like to translate into English and French.
The short essay that we present to readers continues the debate regarding the autonomy of politics and Italian political and philosophical thought (from Machiavelli to Gramsci) started with ETHICS AND AUTONOMY OF POLITICS, so with ANTONIO GRAMSCI AND JACOBINISM.

The central Machiavellian dilemma is that between ethics and politics. Italian idealism, more consequent than the German one, radicalizing the epistemological question, it is no coincidence that he placed it at the center of his epistemology. Immanence or transcendence? Giovanni Gentile ne “La Filosofia di Marx” ritiene di aver espunto dal marxismo il nocciolo di trascendentismo naturalistico che ancora gli restava; in "The Reform of Hegelian Dialectics" he carries out the same operation with the Lutheran theological transcendence which would still remain within Hegelianism. The Hegelian Absolute, as the Lutheran Holy Spirit, it transforms into the immanent Ego, act in progress and freely Thinking. The "religious reform" of Gentile's actualism allows us to identify Gentile's position as unique in the history of philosophy; the one that brings immanentism to its ultimate consequences, comes to affirm the authentic religious vision and practice, removing it from the criticisms of pantheists and atheists.

Manifesto for the womanly female

FIFTH COLUMN

by Marcello Veneziani
For the Women's Day, instead of usual, banal bunch of mimosas, I would like to offer you a praise of the female, matriarch and woman and an exhortation to conquer that role. After decades of feminism and working women, that come out, who live more outside than inside, lesbians in the square and cubists on display, let's take a ruthless assessment. You are truly better, you feel more accomplished, you are happier or more alienated, more employees, more frustrated? A Copernican revolution is needed to regain the lost home and the female dignity that lived there. Without taking anything away from everything else.

Guillaume Faye has died, the man who in his own way changed non-conforming European thought

Paris, 7 Mar – With the death of Guillaume Faye, died in the night between 6 e 7 March, one of the few intellectuals who has truly changed the way we all think disappears from the European metapolitical scene, even those who have never read it, even those who read it thought differently on many issues. Seriously ill for some time, looked after by a handful of devoted associates, Faye until the end he showed more interest in the world of ideas than in his own person, even at the cost of neglecting one's health in order to continue writing. Even though I never met him, I had tried to contact him several times recently, by writing to the email address on your site. He answered me for the first time, agreeing to an interview. Ma, when I sent him the questions via email, he declared that he had not received anything, asking me to send them again… by letter. Which is truly singular, for a prophet of technoscience. I had made a second attempt, in order to co-opt it onto the National Record, in which a regular column from him would have been more than welcome. He never answered me, probably because he was already sick.

Long live women, non l'8 Marzo!

by Matteo Castagna

Vittorio Messori in “Thinking History” (ed. Pauline) he tells us that “once upon a time there were workers who were all working, socialist faith and trade union; and there was a bad master. One day, the workers went on strike and barricaded themselves in the factory. Someone (the master himself, from what is said) he set the fire and 129 women met with atrocious deaths. It was March 8th 1908, a New York. Two years later, the legendary German feminist Clara Zetkin proposed, at the Socialist Congress in Copenhagen, than March 8th, in memory of those social martyrs, was proclaimed "International Women's Day".
Very touching story, read many times in books and newspapers, made the topic of rallies, of propaganda pamphlets, of watchwords for parades and events: first of feminism and then of everyone. And, moving story. With only one flaw; which is false. Oh yeah, no epic women's strike, no fires occurred 8 March of 1908, a New York. Who, In the 1911 (when "Women's Day" had already been established), if you really want to sift through newspapers, it burned, due to accidental causes, a factory, there were deaths, but they were of both sexes. Trade unionism and strikes had nothing to do with it. And not even the month of March. Read More
