L'odio anglosassone per l'antica Roma

The ideal of political correctness which often leads to hatred, political and otherwise, for those who distance themselves from the single homogenizing thought have placed the glory of the Roman Empire in their sights.
The original fault of the Italians remains foreign mania which often leads to real foreign madness. On scientific and historical dissemination in particular with the exception of the great work of Alberto Angela (rewarded by excellent ratings) television channels increasingly rely on foreign productions with little historical relevance. There are two clear examples: the TV series "Britannia” aired on Rai 4 and the documentary cycle “Gli 8 days that made Rome” broadcast by Focus.
Starting from the first, which recently concluded on Rai's free-to-air broadcasters, it's easy to find one banality and confusion complete in its setting. I 9 episodes that compose it do not clarify whether it is a historical series, science fiction or just more fictional. What is certain is that the American and British series, co-produced by the giants Amazon and Sky, describes the Roman empire and its legions under the administration of Claudius as intimidated by the druids and the populations who inhabited the island north of the then Gaul despite their military superiority.
Leaving aside the usual intrusion of black actors (a bit too many to all be Roman legionaries complete with Latin names) even the slightest comparison with another TV series that best depicted an era just before this one seems impossible: Rome co-produced by HBO, BBC and Rai Fiction and filmed in the Cinecittà studios between 2005 and the 2007.
The documentary cycle was, Instead, presented as one of the strengths of the new free Mediaset channel dedicated to cultural dissemination whose content curator is the well-known Roberto Giacobbo, former host of Voyager on the Rai networks and now of “Freedom- Beyond the border" on the Internet 4. As soon as the first episodes of “Gli 8 days that made Rome” have received so many criticism of bias to be forced to immediately suspend the program. Read More

L'antifascismo snob contro i bis-bis-nipoti

Of Massimo Fini
Source: Massimo Fini
In his column The Hammock, published by Repubblica, Michele Serra finds it extremely disgraceful, and almost criminal, that Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the Brothers of Italy, Caio Giulio Cesare Mussolini was a candidate for the European elections, great-great grandson of the Duce. The surname alone makes him swoon and even his nose curls up over the name because it recalls that Roman style which the leader of fascism was inspired by (if he could, Serra, would put him in shackles, exhuming it, also Caesar, but for that said, "the lot has been cast."!”). Rather than lying calmly in a hammock, Serra seems to be sitting on hot coals and writing: “Mussolini was a dictator, a racist, an icon of ridicule and the ruin of his people". It is not even necessary to remember that fascism was a dictatorship, even if less ruthless than those of his contemporaries, but still carrying the Matteotti crime on his conscience, the assassination, in France, of the Rosselli brothers and the shutdown, intellectual and physical, in prison by Antonio Gramsci, the founder of the Italian Communist Party. Then Mussolini, unlike Francisco Franco, had the very serious responsibility of going to war with an ally with whom we should not have allied ourselves and of losing it with all the consequences that this entailed. Otherwise he would have died peacefully in his bed, like Franco, instead of being rightly shot and then hung by his feet in Piazzale Loreto, together with Claretta Petacci, to the hierarchs, those responsible, those less responsible and others not responsible at all, in one of the most shameful pages of our history which horrified the American victors themselves who were then very different from what they are today. But the rhetorical power of Mussolini's speeches, which fascinated tens of millions of our ancestors, may seem ridiculous today, when three quarters of a century have passed since its apogee, then it wasn't at all (to see the ridiculousness in Michele Serra's rhetoric we won't have to wait long, we just need to read it today). Nor can Fascism be reduced to 'Absolute Evil', as Michele Serra does in very worthy company.

The politically correct thought police also censor Aeschylus

by Falconi Loris
Among the rotten fruits of the so-called Liberal Democracy with its correlate of equality, a principle as much heralded as it is monstrously distorted, there is the so-called “Politically Correct”, increasingly dangerously in vogue in this miserable present time, with its censorious and violent power, which admits no other truth outside of its truth.
 
| The violence of political correctness |
Beyond the veil of media-spectacular illusion, we could easily realize that these are completely relative and debatable "truths"., often ridiculously mean, affirmed by the violence of a typically democratic and Western mono-discourse, so sneaky, never clear and manifest, at times affected, even as good-natured as a pat on the back from Uncle Sam might be, the bloody rifle discarded, could give to the unrepentant and irreducible anti-modern man (and obviously anti-puritan).
The effectiveness of political correctness has mainly to do with the now irremediable myopia and ignorance of the current hyper-stimulated homo consumens, an idiot in the etymological sense of the term, deprived of a common world, folded over his navel, which limits itself to uncritically absorbing the mainstream vulgarity spread by all TV and press outlets. The latter underlies a very specific Dominant Imaginary, which, like a great dark and clouding pall, envelops the entire existence of each individual in their daily struggle for "a place in the sun" (this too obviously already pre-established and pre-packaged according to the unrecited mantra of "desire what others desire").

MULTICULTURALISM. THE NEW POLITICAL RELIGION

Multiculturalism is the alpha and omega of Western democracy in the 21st century, the only possible face of postmodernity according to its proponents. A strange democracy that proscribes opinions based on the criteria of the moment, emphasizes any particular identity but denies the possibility of a common identity, silencing in the name of pluralism! The metamorphosis…

The Riace case expands. In the past few hours a new tile has fallen on Mimmo Lucano, the mayor of Riace (now suspended), and on cooperatives involved in the local management of migrants.

Rai Movie and Rai Premium close, protest on the web

The decision to close the two public TV satellite channels that broadcast films and TV series is now a coincidence
ROMA While protests rage on social media, Usigrai appeals «to the CEO Fabrizio Salini to think again». The decision to close Rai Movie and Rai Premium is now a coincidence, the two satellite channels that broadcast films and TV series. Why, and this is the strongest accusation made by the internal union, «suppressing two channels like Rai Movie and Rai Premium means handing over a portion of the audience to pay TV and new platforms. What is the purpose of deleting channels that 24 hours up 24 broadcast new releases, but also great classics and in-depth programmes? To get everyone to migrate to Netflix?».

Elections in Finland: boom of Salvini's populist allies

The Finnish legislative elections mark a substantial head-to-head between social democrats and populists. The forecasts respected and the wishes of Matteo Salvini
The first results arrive, partial ones, from the Finnish elections: an important appointment also to understand what will happen, in the Scandinavian country, when we will vote for the renewal of the European Parliament.

A test, albeit partial, for the stability of the traditional parties of the Old Continent. According to the data that had arrived until recently, the Social Democratic Party, who currently leads a coalition government, confirmed itself firmly in first place, with the 19.1% of votes. A positive result, but not too satisfying.
The real surprise is the “national coalition party”, which placed second, being able to boast the 17,2% of consensus. I Real Finns, which are part of the “sovereignist front”, they stopped at 15,1%. It means that, in all likelihood, they should not have a chance to be part of the executive. Il populism, In short, in Finland it seemed to take root, but don't break through. The ballots already scrutinized, as we learned this information, they were equal to 35% of the total. The Agi reported to her. Then, but, the shock has arrived, with the True Finns recovering and second in what will be the final ranking. A reversal of the initial sensations, which was also confirmed by Matteo Salvini: “The populist friends of the Finns Party become the second largest party in Finland!!! Il 26 maggio, together with the League, Europe is finally changing”. This was the immediate comment from the Northern League leader.

The polls, in the past few weeks, they had talked of a collaboration between sovereignists and social democrats. A scenario that, according to current numbers, seems to have occurred. But we will have to wait a few more hours for the definitive results of these legislative elections. Bene, In the end, even the centrist party, who can celebrate reaching third place on the election podium: to this training, right now, is assigned the 15.4%. The populists, but, now they are seconds. They left behind both the “national coalition party” both the centrist one, who occupy fourth and third place in the ranking respectively. According to the projections, Indeed, the seats won by the Social Democrats should be 40, while those on whom the True Finns will sit will be 37. There is still little left until the end of the counting.
Among the issues that have allowed sovereignists to win in peripheral areas – as we always read on the Agi – also the proposals on climate change, which did not convince the border areas. This, with the management of migratory phenomena and the cuts to the welfare system, represented the main theme of the past electoral campaign

Libya, Salvini warns: "Migranti? Ports remain closed"

The Minister of the Interior, Salvini, rejects the hypothesis of an increase in migratory flows towards Italy: “You arrive in Italy with a permit”
Matteo Salvini sends a clear message about the crisis in Libya. The Minister of the Interior rejects the hypothesis of an increase in migratory flows towards Italy and in fact already sets limits that could protect the country from the arrival of migrants from Libya.
“Nothing changes about migration policies for Italy: You arrive in Italy with a permit, those fleeing the war arrive by plane as they are doing. But the boatmen, inflatable boats or pedal boats in Italy, they do not arrive in Italian ports”, stated the owner of Interni on the sidelines of the Formula E race.
Then the minister once again pointed the finger at the France: “We are working to ensure that things do not get worse in Libya, Let's hope that all Western countries do the same and there isn't someone who, as in the past, plays war for economic reasons, France did it in the past and I hope they aren't doing the same trick again because then they will pay the consequences”. In fact, Salvini suspects that the Elysée may have a hand behind the Libyan crisis and Haftar's advance towards Tripoli.. This suspicion also found space among the Libyans of Tripoli who took to the streets wearing yellow vests against Macron. In fact, just yesterday a group of Libyan demonstrators protested in the capital denouncing Paris' interference in the crisis and support for General Khalifa Haftar's advance. The demonstrators also had with them signs with the writing “Hands off Libya” e “Macron, oil is not worth my blood”.

Sant'Alfonso sull'ecumenismo, on tolerance and interreligious dialogue

[Premises on true religion and social order] Even the unbelievers say that divine revelation would be contrary to the peace of the republics, since she would forbid the Church to tolerate any other religion that does not follow revelation; and this would be the cause of a thousand seditions and discords among peoples. Therefore they cannot suffer the evangelical dogma, that outside the Catholic Church there is no health. This is how Rousseau writes (Emil. t. 3. p. 172): “God forbid that I ever preach to men the cruel dogmas of intolerance, and that leads them to hate their neighbors, telling others; you will be damned”. Adds in the same place: “Intolerance is a horrible dogma, what a weapon against each other, and makes them enemies of the human race”. So the deists would like our Catholic Church to allow ecclesiastical tolerance, with which the people were made to believe, “that every good man, in any religion that lives, can save himself”: thus speaks the named Rousseau in the letter on page. 86.
They say that religion must be regarded as a national law, a law of pure external politics (as Rousseau himself writes in the aforementioned letter), which consequently does not oblige, that as long as one resides in the country where such a law is in force. Beautiful rule of believing and operating! From this it would follow, than a Christian, if he dwells among Christians, must believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and Savior of the world: if among the Turks, must believe that Jesus Christ is but a miserable precursor of Muhammad: if among the Jews, an impostor and seducer. But all this belief would be external, since according to the deists internally everyone can believe what they want; and behold, with the dogma of tolerance, a public school of hypocrisy opened, abominated by the Gentiles themselves, who after having forced the Christians through torments to renounce the faith, they then mocked them and despised them, if those out of weakness denied it. Besides, according to the deists, tolerance is based on the interest of the state and the government police, it follows that, the reasons for the interest and the police changing over time, we will change the dogma of tolerance together; hence those who previously had to tolerate each other, over time they will no longer be tolerated. So the dogma, by unbelievers judged essential to religion for the common good of peace, it will be a variable law over time? Therefore the essential dogmas of religion are also variable? Read More
