Anger, rancor, revenge: thus the Italy of the villages and districts rebelled against Matteo Renzi

Small businesses, relational capitalism, cooperative banks: the territories of the Third Italy ranging from Veneto to Abruzzo are the economic cornerstone of Italy, but the crisis dealt them a deadly blow. To understand Renzi's collapse and Salvini and Di Maio's boom we must start from here. (by Stefano Cingolani, LAWS)

"Date a Cesare quel che è di Cesare e a Dio quel che è di Dio"
by
The Catholic who does not apply the Faith in daily life is a Protestant in pectore. In the family, at school, in work, in politics (for those who do it but also just for those who vote) in the associative and relational sphere it is necessary to seek and bring the Kingdom of Christ. Our mission as confirmed people is to be “soldiers of Christ”, proclaiming and defending the Faith, carrying out good works. On the contrary, let's become liberal. Let our life be guided by the Gospel, each according to his duties of state. The layman (in the sense of “not consecrated”) knows how to act completely layman, Also, therefore in public commitment, while the priest knows how to be a priest completely, therefore not the social worker or the entrepreneur. In this divine and natural order between the roles that one is born’ harmony, That, Unfortunately, often it is missing because one or both of them are unable to stand in their chosen place. (N.d.r.)
Reporting of Federici Studies Center
We publish an excerpt from the book "Christians halved" (Rusconi Publisher, 1972) by the writer Orsola Nemi (Firenze, 11 June 1903 – La Spezia, 8 February 1985).
The text describes the secularist mentality that has pervaded our era and which affects every environment, even the Catholic one. Because of this mentality, even those who proclaim themselves Catholic in the professional field, politico, associative, ecc. no longer searches, as it should, the spread of the kingdom of Christ in society. The risk, reported by the Author, is to reduce Catholicism to an idea dissociated from reality: a failure in life and above all in eternity.
Christians halved
(…) "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and give to God what is God's". Jesus talks about the tribute money to Rome. He had already said: «You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself".

The EU has the dictator. And they didn't warn you
by

Of Maurizio Blondet
Even before inaugurating his fourth mandate, Angela Merkel has scored another decisive blow to Germany's absolute power in Europe: the appointment of Martin Selmayr, his man, of the CDU, ferocious anti-Italian, a General Secretary of the European Commission. An elevation by means of tricks to the pinnacle of unquestionable bureaucratic bureaucracy, real government and “deep state” of the EU: Selmayr has undergone 33 thousand employees; "stand, invasive, authoritarian, prevaricator", all important dossiers must pass through his hands; obviously he is also the one who pokes fun at national budgets, and they don't like ours. Its characteristic, the arrogant and continuous interference and trespassing in politics proper: suffice it to say that this bureaucrat elected by no one is imposing himself as the leader of the EPP (European People's Party) the French politician Michel Barnier, whose rise he himself favored (making him the Brexit negotiator), with the excuse that Barnier is Macron-compatible, but in reality because he is a puppet in his hands.

(The new Hitler is the young man behind the alcoholic).

As always when German power borders on illegality, also in this case Merkel did not directly get her hands dirty; he had Selmayr “promoted” by Juncker. The illegality lies in the fact that Juncker should appoint the secretary general by choosing him from among the general or deputy directors; instead Selmayr was his chief of staff, he had no title of director. A case of nepotism, but somehow in reverse: Juncker, he owed his rise to head of the Commission to Selmayr's plots, the “government” of the EU; he literally “invented” him as a candidate in 2014. Instead, Juncker – who we know is often drunk – has always let his servant-master run the institution: in fact Juncker “he never once chaired cabinet meetings”, he revealed Liberation: “and all those who want access to the president, including heads of state and government, they must pass through Selmayr” .

Fake News: l'indagine di Enrica Perucchietti
by

Fake NewsReport Arianna Publishing

THE NEW INVESTIGATION BY ENRICA PERUCCHIETTI
FROM THE MANIPULATION OF PUBLIC OPINION
TO POST-TRUTH: how power controls the media and fabricates information to obtain consensus
After the successes of Global Government, The Manipulation Factory e Unisex, Enrica Perucchietti returns to analyze the relationship between the means of communication, power and strategies of social control, showing how the first to lie to public opinion are the mainstream media.
Taking up and updating the main themes of the masterpiece by George Orwell, 1984, the author shows how the battle against fake news intends to repress dissent and censor independent information, introducing – in fact – lo psychocrime and preventing people not only from expressing themselves, but even to think.
«We are largely governed by men about whom we know nothing, but which are capable of shaping our mentality, guide our tastes, suggest what to think".
Edward Bernays
Fake News, interview with Enrica Perucchietti: “Ever closer to thought crime”
The latest book by Enrica Perucchietti can be considered a real cry of alarm. Let's talk about Fake News (Arianna Publishing), which uses the preface of Marcello Foa. The ongoing battle against so-called fake news is, actually, for Perucchietti a further big step towards a modern form of psychocrime, desired by government forces that do not accept counter-current thinking. A super-hot topic especially in these times where the term fake news has become almost fashionable but behind it there are realities and new risks that are not always easy to interpret. The book intends to be a compass to better understand "who and what is behind it", as evidenced by the interview we did with the author.
Why this book? As an established author, what are the needs that led you to write this new critical essay?
In recent years I have delved more and more into the topic of manipulation and social control. The current global battle against fake news fits into this context: in fact, I believe that it is a form of exploitation to convince public opinion to introduce the crime of opinion and above all to censor alternative information which takes place above all on the web. Power today, like Orwell's Big Brother, subjugates the minds of citizens through "reality control" and nothing must escape the meshes of its all-pervasive domination. The power, that is, it empties the minds of citizens to fill them with its own contents: whoever opposes, anyone who dissents is accused of "psychocrime". In the book, I show how many themes addressed by Orwell in 1984 have or are coming true.
Today those who do not align themselves with single thinking and political correctness are in fact persecuted, risks censorship and in the future, thanks to the political proposals that I talk about extensively in the book, will be punished with fines or even arrest.

"Strategia del carciofo" The work of the Quirinale and the shield for Gentiloni
by

As he had predicted Matthew Castagna, in yesterday's interview, President Mattarella is taking his time, waiting for the center-right to look for allies, between individual deputies and senators, to have a majority in Parliament. Meanwhile, there is Gentiloni who continues the ordinary administration…(n.d.r.)
To find the majority you go by exclusion «Now he won't lift a finger». There is already a prime minister…
Of Massimiliano Scafi
Europe calls for it: "We have faith in the president". The centre-right, from Salvini to Tajani, encourages him: «We count on his wisdom and his ability».
Di Maio also flatters him: «The head of state will act with authority». Everyone looks at him, everyone is looking for it, everyone is waiting for his nod, a rabbit with a top hat, and what he does? Nothing, because nothing is exactly the best thing to do right now. «At this stage he won't lift a finger», they say from the Hill, because this is how the parties will move. Mattarella has no "prejudicial closures", it is neutral and wants to respect the citizens' indications, he will have his say at the right time.
He will say it in April, when the groups that will go up to the Quirinale will have to present themselves with a concrete proposal, made of programs and numbers. There, after the post-election decantation, we will see if it will be possible to extract a government from two non-majorities to give to the country. Being too active right away can only make the situation worse. Read More

Viktor Orban: "Stop Soros!” (On the new legislative initiative of the Hungarian government)
Source: Comedonchisciotte
The Hungarian government has presented to parliament a package of three legislative bills against illegal immigration with the general title "Stop Soros", reported the 21 February the Hungarian news agency MTI. The Budapest initiative has already caused concern in European government circles. The general significance of this concern was expressed by the German Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: «Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban considers himself Europe's last bastion in the face of the victorious march of Islam».
The bills intend to strengthen state control over foreign-funded non-governmental organizations that receive money from abroad for over 24 thousand euros. Tali NGO, according to the document, they must register as "organisations receiving foreign funding" and provide detailed reports on the movement of their funds every year. In case of failure to comply with these requirements, the organization is subject to closure.
In most cases, these are non-governmental organizations that provide assistance to refugees from the Middle East and North Africa or that campaign for easing of legislation, relating to their entry into Hungary. The new rules provide for NGOs a tax of 25% on all grants received from abroad. Their collaborators will not be admitted to the border area [for immigration detention established] a 8 km dal confine [Hungarian]. The temporarily imposed restriction requires obtaining special authorization for access, issued after the applicant has been checked by the Hungarian special services.
According to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, George Soros is corrupting the local NGO, so that the internal situation in the country is weakened (and in other European countries) through the influx of immigrants from Islamic countries. Even if in reality it is not just the activity of this elderly billionaire. Read More

Elections 2018: the fixed nail

The fixed nail
Source: Marcello Veneziani
Now that the election campaign has ended, instead of having to do the servant's calculations on the vote, we prefer to draw a different balance and ask ourselves if there was a battle over values, a conflict over ideal themes, historians and politicians.
There was no clash between progressives and conservatives, between right and left, between political cultures, between liberal ideas and social or even socialist ideas. Every reference to the Catholic vote has disappeared.
The only clash was over fascism and anti-fascism. To resume the catchphrase of the electoral campaign, the Republic he entrusted the anti-fascist obsession to the psychoanalyst Massimo Recalcati, summed up in a title that seems written by the school of fascist mysticism: “The immortal desire of fascism”.
An apparently apologetic title, which seems to have been written by someone obsessed with fascism as a category of spirit and perennial value. In reality Recalcati - as his surname suggests - followed the pattern of eternal fascism, set by the ideologist Umberto Eco; a theme that in Stalin's time was called "the eternal lurking reaction".
Immortal fascism as an alibi for immoral anti-fascism. Read More

Trento, December 1545: it opens, in the solemn setting of the cathedral of San Vigilio, the nineteenth ecumenical council of the Catholic Church, destined to become a cornerstone in world history and to clearly and rigorously define doctrinal aspects, theological, disciplinary, hierarchies at the dawn of the modern age. The assembly of bishops, convened by Paul III and met for almost twenty years, defined the theory of justification, reiterated the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, created the seminaries, he condemned the heretical theses of the reformed, regulated the Sacraments instituted by Jesus himself as Tradition teaches: an epochal moment in the history of Christianity, which saw the most enlightened minds of the time converge precisely in Trentino «to the praise and glory of God, to increase the Christian faith and religion», come scrisse Joseph Hergenröther.
Trento and its territory have always been a crossroads of men, armies, culture, idea, but the region has incessantly kept its traditions and identity intact: this is why she was chosen, for example, as the seat of the council responsible for recomposing the Lutheran schism, by virtue of the intermediate position between Italy and Central Europe, center equidistant from the countries involved in the meeting, as well as for his proven loyalty to the papacy.
