God does not like Jews
by

Written and reported by Don Curzio Nitoglia

Introduction

This is not a Rosenberg phrase, neither Hitler nor Goebbels, but it was written by Saint Paul (1a Tess., II, 15-16) and therefore it is divinely revealed, inspired and unfailingly true.

The text of S. Paolo

The whole sentence, in two verses, it sounds like this: "Which [Jews] they even put the Lord Jesus to death [“They killed the Lord Jesus”] and the Prophets and they persecuted us too; they do not please God [“Deo non place”] and they are enemies of all men [“they are opposed to all men”], preventing us from preaching to the Pagans so that they can be saved. In this way they fill the measure of their sins! But now the wrath of God has reached its peak on their heads [“for the wrath of God came upon them to the end”]”.

The Commentary of St. Tommaso d’Aquino

Let's see the comment made by S. Tommaso d’Aquino: «It doesn't matter if the Romans killed him, because it was the Jews themselves who with their cries asked Pilate to crucify him. […]. Then the Apostle speaks of the Prophets of the Old Testament about whom it is also written in Acts of the Apostles (VII, 52): “Which of the Prophets did your fathers not persecute?? They killed those who foretold the coming of Christ, of whom you have now become traitors and murderers [“traitors and murderers”]”. Therefore they do not please God [“Deo non place”] because they do not operate with a right faith and "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Ebr., XI, 6). Infine S. Paul shows that the Jews “are enemies of all men [“they are opposed to all men”]”. In fact they are enemies because they forbid and prevent us Apostles of the New Testament from preaching to all men and thus hinder their conversion. […]. So they live until they reach the point where God allows. Indeed God, after the passion of Christ, granted the Jews a space of 40 years for penance, but not only did they not convert, but they added sin to sin. And God no longer tolerated it. […]. However, do not think that this divine wrath will last forever 100 years, but it will last “until the end” of the world [“until the end” mundi], when all the Pagans have embraced faith in Christ" (Thomas Aquinas, Exposition and reading on the Epistles of Paul the Apostle. A Lecture on the First Epistle to the Thessalonians, Reading II, caput 2, verses 15-16). Read More

Who is Italian, and who doesn't

Who is Italian, and who doesn't
Source: Francesco Lamendola
We talk a lot about citizenship and we tend to identify citizenship with nationality: if a person has the citizenship of the Italian Republic, then that person is certainly Italian; Ultimately it's very simple, no? Precisely: And too simple. Yet it is clear that things are a little more complex, just think about it for a moment. The Italians who couldn't, or they didn't want to, leave Venezia Giulia, In the 1947, at the time of the signing of the Treaty of Paris and the definitive cession of those lands to Yugoslavia, they no longer deserved the name of Italians, despite having lost, evidently, Italian citizenship and having acquired Yugoslavian citizenship? Of course not: so much so that, at least on paper, in Yugoslavia they enjoyed the recognition of a certain cultural and linguistic autonomy, however, it soon remained a dead letter. And the Swiss citizens of the Canton of Ticino, who have never been Italian citizens, nor of the Kingdom, nor of the Republic, they do not deserve to be called and considered Italian? Of course yes: so much so that Italian is recognized as one of the four official languages ​​of the Swiss Confederation. Evidently, you can be Italian, incontestably and truly Italian, despite not having Italian citizenship: This point seems to us to be sufficiently clarified. Read More

We are resigned to not counting for anything: the electoral void and the wars in the Middle East

Understanding the tangle of interests of the powers in conflict in the Middle East and throughout the crisis that reaches Asia is a challenge because the states and actors involved are entangled in contradictory alliances: the fundamental friend-enemy relationship itself has become mutable and in some cases almost indistinguishable. They seem like distant things but if we follow the thread of events we see how these events directly involve us, also here in Italy, where we get stabbed, in a real or figurative sense, for electoral events devoid of any tactical and strategic interest. As if we were resigned to not counting for anything and instead we too carry heavy responsibilities.

The fight against terrorism, heralded for years, reveals itself, more every day, a tragic mockery. Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and China, in recent days they are trying to stop the American initiative to put Pakistan on the list of countries financing terrorism after Washington froze US aid to Islamabad. The Pakistanis are sending a thousand soldiers to the Gulf to support the Saudis in the interminable war in Yemen against the Shiite Houthi rebels, China has a contingent of 12 thousand men in Pakistan to protect its ports while Turkey is historically linked to Islamabad by economic and military relations.

But beyond these obvious interests there is much more. Saudi Arabia has financed jihadist groups with an anti-Iranian function for years, is more or less directly involved in September 11th, while Erdogan's Turkey maneuvers thousands of jihadists in the anti-Assad war. Pakistan was for a decade, together with the Saudis, the key ally of the USA in the war against the USSR in Afghanistan but it is also the country that hosted the fugitive Osama bin Laden and supports the Taliban and jihadist groups in Afghanistan against the American-led coalition.

Erdogan re of the Mediterranean. Eni forced to leave Cyprus
Source: The newspaper
Defeated and humiliated. The government of Nicosia is responsible for circulating the bulletin of the Italian defeat by announcing that Saipem 12000, the Eni research vessel blocked by the Turkish navy off the coast of Cyprus is "forced to turn back".
A euphemism behind which lies the sad reality of a Mediterranean subjected to the will of Sultan Erdogan. A sultan who forced us to abandon that blockade with political arrogance and military arrogance 3 of the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus where Eni was busy looking for new gas wells under Nicosia's mandate. A sultan against whom neither Italy nor Italy found the courage to raise their voices, nor Europe, born in the United Nations. But let's start with Eni. Taking it as an example of Italy's weakness is out of place.
Eni is certainly the treasure chest of many important national interests. And its explorations and research contribute to guaranteeing national energy needs. But Eni is above all a company and must be accountable first and foremost to its shareholders. The pirate boarding of a Türkiye ready to move its frigates and decree a naval blockade disguised as a military exercise cost Eni around 600 thousand dollars a day. Continue in this situation in the absence of political-diplomatic assurances from Rome – and above all from Brussels and the UN – true guarantors of the legitimacy of the Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone – it was impossible. The more days passed, the more the costs became unsustainable. Read More

Fake News, interview with Enrica Perucchietti: "Sempre più vicini allo psicoreato"

Fake News, interview with Enrica Perucchietti: "Sempre più vicini allo psicoreato"
Source: Web Macro Editorial
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 by Marcello Foa. The ongoing battle against so-called fake news is, actually, for Perucchietti a further big step towards a modern form of thought crime, desired by government forces that do not accept counter-current thinking.
A super-hot topic especially in these times where the term fake news it has almost become 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. Read More

The violent and the ambiguous words

Report Arianna Publishing
Of Ernesto Galli Della Loggia – 25/02/2018
The violent and the ambiguous words
Source: Corriere della Sera
«We condemn any violence and from any source. However, we cannot help but remember that Italy is a Republic founded on anti-fascism, that our Constitution is anti-fascist". These are roughly the words of many exponents of the left wing commenting on the very serious accidents in Turin and in general on what is happening in many places in Italy. Words that precisely revolve around a formula that is felt and resented these days: ours is an anti-fascist Constitution.
He's fine. As it happens, however, history - history, I repeat, and not our personal opinions - should make us ask: anti-fascist yes, but of what anti-fascism? As anyone who has read any book knows, history records many events that cannot fail to pose some content problems when the term anti-fascism is used. They were certainly anti-fascists, for example, those who in Spain burned down churches and shot priests, anarchists and Trotskyists. They were anti-fascists who in 1939 they thought that the Soviet Union had done very well to annex the Baltic countries and half of Poland after reaching an agreement with Hitler, as were those who on our eastern border from '43 to '45 threw a few thousand Italians into the sinkholes.
Anti-fascists and moreover partisans were also those from whose association (the Empire), not sharing the underlying ideas, first the Catholic partisans broke away and then the shareholders led by Parri in 1948-49. Still: Eighteen-carat anti-fascists were also those who in the 1950s did not hesitate to define the United States as "Nazi" while not reserving a single word of solidarity, not even one, to Czechoslovakian or Hungarian anti-fascists, only a few years earlier their comrades in the Resistance and now sent to the gallows with the most unlikely and defamatory accusations by the communist regimes established in their countries. And the terrorists of the Red Brigades and other similar organizations have not always proclaimed themselves anti-fascists - in fact, they say, of the most "coherent" anti-fascism.? Read More

Children can be vivisected, freeze and kill, but not lobsters!
by

Reporting of BastaBugie editorial team

Children can be killed before birth due to lack of nourishment (RU 486) or even dismembered piece by piece (surgical abortion), but lobsters (poverine!) they cannot be boiled and if they are traded, they must travel in salt water, under penalty of fine (also salty!)
and Provita News

(AUTOMATIC READING)
Children can be killed before birth through abortion. Often cruelly, dismembered piece by piece. With abortion pills (RU 486) babies die from lack of nourishment in the mother's womb. Babies in the embryonic state can be assembled and disassembled, freeze defrost, and vivisect…but lobsters, no: they cannot be boiled. And if they are traded, must travel in salt water – under penalty of fine, also salty.
Wesley J. tells it. Smith, sul suo blog Human Exeptionalism. It happens in Switzerland, which followed New Zealand and some other countries in outlawing lobsters in plain sight. The reason? The poor lobsters can feel pain, when they are thrown alive into boiling water (even if good crustaceans don't have a brain that allows them to process stimuli).
Switzerland some time ago changed its constitution to recognize the individual dignity of plants. Not ecosystems. Individual dignity of plants. A bioethics committee, responsible for explaining the reasons for this, stated that since plants share biochemical traits with us humans at the cellular level, it is immoral “behead” a wildflower.

The criterion of brain death is now completely delegitimized

Report Roman correspondence

Of Alfredo de Matteo
This year marks the fiftieth anniversary (1968) of the first definition of the brain death criterion, by a medical commission created ad hoc by Harvard University to ethically justify the first vital organ transplants. On theFuture of the 4 An interesting interview came out in February, the signature of Lucia Bellaspiga, to the researcher at the Neurolesi Center of Messina, Silvia Marino.
The occasion is an international meeting that took place in Milan on 2 last February on disorders of conscience, organized by the Irccs Carlo Besta Neurological Institute Foundation.
The neurologist Marino has been working for several years to explore the most hidden residues of consciousness through techniques neuroimaging and to study the reactions of the brain stimulated by sounds, smells and images. To patients apparently deprived of contact with the outside world and immobile for months or years in their bed, the researcher explains in the interview, we administer stimuli of all kinds, above all thanks to the fundamental collaboration of family members. While this is happening, through functional magnetic resonance imaging we can see if the areas of the patient's brain are activated.
So we studied 27 people diagnosed with minimal consciousness e 23 in a vegetative state, and among the latter well 10 they have transitioned to a state of minimal consciousness. Therefore, reiterates the neurologist, the word irreversible applied to disorders of consciousness, including vegetative state, it is no longer usable. Read More

Spain: gender ideology divides the Protestant galaxy
by


Report Roman correspondence
Protestants divided in Spain over LGBT ideology: on the one hand the supporters of the line «inclusive», on the other those of the line «biblical».
Among the first are the evangelicals, who are somewhat of the "deans" of Iberian Protestantism, having been founded in the second half of the 19th century, and which represent the union of historical groups such as those of Presbyterians, Methodist, Lutherans and Congregationalists. They welcomed gender ideology and other key principles of extreme modernism with great enthusiasm.
Baptists oppose this position, Pentecostals, charismatics and Adventists, which together represent the largest context, in close ties with the United States and Latin America: they are decidedly against gender ideology in the name of biblical doctrine, which very clearly condemns homosexual acts in both the Old and New Testaments. For this reason they are branded as «fundamentalism“e di”retrograde conservatism» by evangelicals.
The clash became evident in 2014, when the Evangelical Council of Madrid began procedures to expel those who were pro-LGBT, like evangelicals, even though they were among the founders of this body. In an interview given to the blog homoprotestant (a name that says it all, it's worth saying), the “pastor” Esther Ruiz accused the Evangelical Council of «inquisition» and discrimination against a «plural church», such as the one they promoted with the support of the Spanish Anglicans, who opposed the expulsion of the evangelicals, act that, according to them, would have forgotten the «pluralism typical of Protestantism and the churches of the Reformation».

Moscow's response to the massacre of the Russians in Syria

At least two Su-57s (the fifth generation aircraft, the Russian F-35, with a difference: that works) have appeared on the Hmeinim trail since Wednesday. Together with: four close support Su-25s, four Su-35 air interdiction aircraft, and an A-50U for airspace surveillance and control.
The US reactions to the appearance - we should say the appearance - of the Su-57 in the operational theater are instructive.
