The resistance of Venezuela
by

THE ANTI-DIPLOMAT

by Gianni Mina’

Among the many lies that are told daily by the Western media regarding Venezuela there is one that unfortunately was also espoused by our Foreign Minister Enzo Moavero Milanesi.

During his speech in the Chambers, the minister stated that the opposition in Venezuela, the one belonging to questionable characters such as Leopoldo Lopez, Maria Corina Machado and Henrique Capriles, he had not participated in the last elections because the electoral consultation was not credible, in fact she was wearing makeup.

Now apart from that the whole world, if it is not in bad faith, knows that the defection was instead due to the opposition's inability to find a decent candidate after the failures of the supposed fighters for democracy in the country, it is clear that the truth is different.

Mortifying the validity of the last elections was the usual method to justify the failure of the opposition.

I remember the anti-Chávez campaigns, contradicted by the facts, and I remember the very facts that they had as guarantors, among others, Adolfo Perez Esquivel, Nobel Peace Prize, Eduardo Galeano, critical conscience of the continent and even the Foundation of the former President of the United States Jimmy Carter, people whose intellectual honesty was undeniable. And I remember the numerous electoral campaigns, whose democratic validity was monitored by more than 150 international observers. In May 2018, for example, the former prime minister of Spain, Josè Luis Zapatero had criticized the reckless attitude of the European Community which had left Venezuela to its fate of isolation.

The “new world” dreamed of by Jacques Attali
by

 

If the media was very focused on Brigitte, wife of Emmanuel Macron, on his legs, the outfits and their love story, they paid less interest to the "spiritual father" of the French president, the French economist and banker Jacques Attali, Mitterrand's historic advisor, then advisor to Sarkozy: he would have been the one to introduce Macron to Hollande who would then have called him as assistant secretary to the Elysée, finally in 2014 to hold the position of Minister of Economy under the presidency of Manuel Valls, taking over from Arnaud Montebourg.
It was Attali himself who claimed the spiritual "paternity" of the new French president of whom he speaks with pride ("He will be an extraordinary president"). Already in April 2016 predicted that an unknown would win the presidential elections of 2017 and indicated two possible names: Emmanuel Macron and Bruno Le Maire.
Attali, who helped write the Maastricht Treaty, he is a lobbyist who over the years has released disturbing interventions in line with his fervent non-fiction production (think about Brief history of the future of the 2006). The phrase «And what did the European rabble believe, that the Euro was created for their happiness?». Read More

Lira Euro passage. The Consulta ascertains that we have been robbed
by

The sensation, with the transition from the Lira to the Euro, of having been robbed was immediate. The traders (those who have been crying about the crisis for a few years) they immediately took advantage of this to double the prices. With the approval of the State, which, as well as not forcing them to display the double Lira-Euro price for at least a couple of years, it doubled its bills and rates itself. Even inserting paper coins would have been enough 1 e 2 euro, to give more weight to money and greater awareness for consumers when spending it.

But beyond that, he committed another robbery, through the most pro-European government we have had in recent years: the Monti Government.

Come? Through the Save Italy rule (law 201/2011 art. 26), which he anticipated to 6 December 2011 the deadline for converting old liras into euros. A full three months in advance, given that the law of 2002 (introduced to manage the introduction of the euro) instead he stared at the 28 February 2012 the end of the right of exchange.
An advance that benefited the State between 1,2 e 1,6 billions of euros that, instead of ending up in the pockets of Italians in possession of the lire, were paid by Bank of Italy in three installments into state coffers to contribute to the reduction of public debt. That public debt that has been eating away at us for decades and that no government has been able to reduce.

Saint Philip Neri... a saint to understand how much Christianity is characterized by true joy
by

Saint Philip Neri is a particular saint. If you really want to choose an adjective, it can be said that his was a cheerful sanctity; in the sense that it was a holiness marked by the desire to highlight how Christian life is capable of giving true joy. Philip Neri (“Pippo bono” for friends) it was brilliant, witty, he always had a ready and biting joke (like a good Tuscan) and so much goodness, understanding and availability. “Retreat, Gentleman, retreat. Hold back the wave of your grace” he said when his heart was full of happiness and gratitude. At the same time he prayed to the Lord to keep his hand on his head."…otherwise – he used to say- Filippo, without your help, he does some of his own.”
Holiness as a providential sign
The sanctity of Saint Philip is a providential sign in a time in which Catholicism had to respond to the sad Lutheran atmospheres. It must be remembered, Indeed, that the Protestant theory of justification , as a simple attestation from God but not as a real and substantial event in the human soul, it entailed an admittedly pessimistic perspective in the theology of the Reformation, distressing and sad. More simply - according to Protestantism- God would not recognize it as true justification of the sinner, but he would pretend that it is so even if it is not; instead in Catholicism the justification it is real and substantial.
But let's go back to Saint Philip Neri. He was born in Florence in 1515. Son of a notary, He was soon orphaned by his mother; ma, despite this, he had a peaceful childhood, facilitated by his cheerful temperament. He studied music and poetry and was very sensitive to beauty, especially that of nature.
At eighteen he was sent to Cassino, from a merchant uncle to learn the trade. However, in the Lazio town he was immediately attracted by the majestic abbey and felt a strong push towards religious life, but the Lord did not want him to be a monk. Read More

Watch out for Guaido, first LGBT activists elected in its ranks. And not only that
by

As we all know by now, these are particularly critical days or weeks for Venezuela, Country theater of a bitter dispute that sees it, in fact, commanded simultaneously by two presidents in open conflict with each other. On the one hand, we have Nicolas Maduro, the president formally in office who denounces a coup attempt against him, While, on the other, there is the young man Juan Guaidó, the president of the National Assembly, the parliament, in practice, who claims the constitutional right to perform the functions of president ad interim, until the next free elections are called.
Ora, the impossibility of sympathizing with the communist Maduro is evident, who also in recent days was the author of a very violent attack on the country's bishops, according to him responsible for the crime of «hatred», this is because they dared to denounce the rampant corruption with their homilies. An accusation to which the local Episcopal Conference reacted by warning that it is an attack on the entire Church. Emblematic, in this sense, the words of the bishop of San Filippo, Monsignor Victor Hugo Basabe, who rebuked those who still do not understand how «the fundamental cause of Venezuela's woes is the persistence of an economic model, political and social that denies God and therefore human dignity».
Parole, those of Msgr. Wild, from which it is objectively difficult to dissociate oneself. The point, in this whole affair, but it is that not even Juan Guaidó seems to be that leader of mirrored virtue which – in the face of new basic freedoms that it could guarantee, now absent in the country tyrannized by Maduro – could guarantee real well-being for Venezuela.

La Cina alla conquista dell'Italia
by

Report by Emilio Giuliana
The building of the former State Mint in Rome? Now it is run by the Chinese. Raul Gardini's palace in Ravenna? Now it is run by the Chinese. The Doge's Ball Palace in Venice? Now it is run by the Chinese. The Roma bar in Carpi, the one where Dorando Pietri worked, legendary marathon hero collapsed one step away from the finish line? Now it is run by the Chinese.
And they became Chinese, among others, the Goldoni tractor company in Carpi, the one that effectively mechanized the Italian countryside; the historic Quarella marble company from Verona, Masterwood from Rimini, the Motovario metalworking company of Formigine and the Odeon cinema chain&Uci. Where at this point, a crime film could be staged. Which however is very similar to a horror film.
In fact, there are not only famous cases, bounced prominently in the newspapers, like those of Ferretti yachts, of the Krizia fashion house, of Pirelli, of Inter or Candy appliances: Beijing's shadow is stretching across our entire country. It happens day after day, brick by brick, neighborhood after neighborhood, factory after factory. After all, we know that China has set out to conquer the world. President Xi Jinping, defined by the Economist as the most powerful man on the planet, has launched a massive plan to promote acquisitions on five continents.
And Italy is a special observation. Of our country, the Ming grandchildren love everything: the singing, the music, fashion, the Staircase. And they can't wait to conquer us. A fine 2017 they flew the Chinese flag 641 Italian companies, with beyond 32 thousand employees and a turnover of approximately 18 billion a year. And the conquest, in general silence, it doesn't stop. Read More

No, Russian trolls aren't behind the yellow vests: only the void left by the left
by

The news of the day, apparently, this is it: "international" research has shown that the yellow vest protest, in France, it was infiltrated and supported by the right, sometimes extreme, which on the Internet contributed to amplifying the media effects of the protest against President Macron. It's the usual local troll soup, successful hacker, American white supremacists and other bogeymen without whom, apparently, you can't do anything anymore.
The emphasis that – in this case as in all similar cases, from Russiagate onwards – it is given to trouble, you have post, to the tweets and retweets of the Internet demonstrates how traditional information is inclined to look for the speck in another's eye (Internet, Obviously) and neglect the beam that is housed in its own.
If this were not the case, the research published by the BBC would have had equal or greater prominence, which denounces the work of trolls to create consensus around the Warsaw summit called by the USA to marginalize Iran from the international community and perhaps to pave the way for some more decisive intervention than just economic sanctions. But above all it demonstrates once again how great it is, more generally, the desire to talk about something else, to go around problems by addressing only the waste and not the substance. Like a gala lunch made of baby carrots and spinach but without roast meat.
What we need today, speaking of yellow vests, It's a great search (even not international, municipal is also fine, as long as it is well done) about the reasons for their anger. Let him try to understand, for example, why so many "normal" French people have been taking to the streets for months to smash shop windows, getting beaten up by the police and getting rubber bullets, while the République only manages to pass vaguely repressive laws to narrow the margins for protests. It would be discovered, Perhaps, that behind the problem of excise duties on fuel there is a much more important issue, indeed decisive. For decades, the complicity of political systems with industrial ones has filled our streets with diesel engines that Europe no longer wants because they pollute. Read More

I Paesi ex comunisti Immagini e simboli dell'eredità passata che non si scorda
by

From Albania to the former DDR, from Bulgaria to Poland, the history of the former regimes remains imprinted. The tour of the artist Giovanni Vitali who collected those indelible memories
The Spac concentration camp, a hundred kilometers from Tirana, it was one of the darkest places in that open-air prison that was Albania. Today the rare visitor wanders disoriented among those cells full of pain and abandonment, Then, suddenly, here among all the squalor is a fresh and surprising mural: at the base is the writing Fear, fear, immediately above the double-headed eagle, sign of national identity, she is caged by the sinister thought of Enver Hoxha, the dictator of that unfortunate pararevolutionary experiment.

The tyrant's head dominates the graffiti that mixes past and present, suggestions and obsessions, the dark era of socialism and the current season full of anxieties and hopes.
The brush plays with the ghosts of the post-war period. Sickle, hammer and broken dreams. Giovanni Vitali, young Lombard artist, he made a very unique journey in eight stages in as many European capitals, once provinces of the Soviet empire.

No demonization and not even a shred of nostalgia, as is also fashionable today among populations that are sunk into the sharpest poverty and the most shaky insecurity. Vitali moves in space, a East, and over time, re-grabbing the edges of the Iron Curtain, but without being crushed by it.
It goes back and forth, with acrylic colors, with photos and words, in short, along many parallel paths, always watch out for surprises, because that era, at least in these latitudes, is over forever, but the ideological machine that generated those social engineering experiments is not dead.

Syria: the crime of the embargo
by

Giuseppe Federici Study Center – For a new onset

Press release no. 13/19 of the 15 February 2019, San Faustino
Syria: the crime of the embargo
Embargo: there are also victims without bullets
More and more negative repercussions are affecting the living conditions of Syrian civilians, while some Western states continue to impose economic sanctions against Syria.
The economic war, whether it prevents trade or uses mass media or punishes those who help Syria, has many short and long term goals; essentially seeks to create economic problems that cause division in Syrian society and affect the investment environment after recently seeing improvement, as this economic war seeks to drive away investors and businessmen, says a report published by the Syrian news agency SANA.
The most important objective of the sanctions against Syria is to block local production in order to transform Syria into a state with consumption dependent on other countries, instead of being a self-sufficient productive state.

The expulsion of Christ from the new globalist religion
by

A well thought out plan, that of the neo-modernist clergy, ecclesiastical arm of the Masonic-style New World Order: make the Catholic religion disappear from the face of the earth (and to follow the Christian), presenting her as a rapist of consciences, fundamentalist, divisive, devoid of mercy (because he wants to impose himself on defenseless people), legitimizing all the worst perversions and atrocities that the human mind can conceive, leaving sinners unrepentant in their sins, the heretics and schismatics in their errors, the followers of false religions in their vain beliefs.

Bergoglio invents the sin against the environment
by


During last Saturday's audience granted to the teachers and students of the Alfonsiana Academy founded by the Redemptorists, Pope Francis has invented a new "sin"!
The sin against the environment, which falls within the framework of his ecological encyclical: Laudato yes:

«It makes me reflect that when I administer the Reconciliation – even before, when I did it – rarely does anyone accuse themselves of having done violence to nature, to the earth, to creation", he declared.

 

"We are not yet aware of this sin", continued the Argentine Pontiff, evoking « the cry of the earth, raped and wounded in a thousand ways by selfish exploitation ».

 

« The ecological dimension is an essential component of the responsibility of every person and every nation».

Even non-Catholics perceive it, in our times of apostasy in which all moral rules are cheerfully despised by the masses of the world, the incongruity of such a statement.
The writer and journalist Benoît Rayski gives masterful proof of this in a short story, but spicy satire:

«The Supreme Pontiff is a decidedly modern man. He just called on the faithful to "recognize their sins against the environment". And this makes Pope Francis suffer. Read More

Soros all'attacco di Salvini: ormai è guerra aperta alla LegaGeorge Soros takes the field against Lega and 5Stelle

“Europe is marching, in sleep, towards oblivion and Europeans should wake up before it is too late”. George Soros talks about the Italian situation: “The European Union made a fatal mistake with the Dublin Treaty, which led the Italian electorate, predominantly in favor of the European Union and immigration, to throw themselves into the arms of the League, anti-European party, and the Movement 5 position. Added to this is the disarray in which the Democratic Party finds itself, which led pro-Europeans to have no party to vote for

The day will come but it won't be tomorrow
by

 

The day will come that the League will separate from the 5 Stars but it is not today and it will not be tomorrow. But before talking about it, let's take a snapshot of the situation. If you notice, Italian politics at the moment is the perfect representation of the four cantons.
In the first canton there is the League, at his side, in the left canton, there are the 5place, on the right side there is Forza Italia, in the opposite canton there is the left. Changing point of observation, the proximity and distance between the forces in the field remain unchanged. A perfect quadrilateral, even in intermediate sizes. Brothers of Italy, for example, it is located halfway between the League and Forza Italia. More Europe than the liberal-radicals is halfway between Forza Italia and the left. Liberi e Uguali is also halfway between the radical pauperism of the Grillini and the left of the Democratic Party. There is no intermediate movement between the League and the Grillini in the middle because the government is already in the middle, Conte is there.
Each political force can at most ally itself with one of the two cantons next to it, but not with both nor ever with the one in front of him, which is its opposite. The main enemy of the left is in fact the League, and vice versa. Forza Italia's main enemy is the grillini, and vice versa. It is the exact representation of Italian politics. Here are the four cantons: the sovereignist pole, the populist pole, the liberal-popular pole, the left-dem pole. Read More

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


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.
