The Venetian mafia banquet. And our complicity

Of Matthew Castagna
I learned to appreciate the usefulness and complexity of investigative journalism in 2014, so not that long ago. Over the years I have understood many things. Above all, I understood how certain dynamics work in Italy. Among many, I saw, read and understood how on the one hand there is a’ facade anti-mafia, hypocritical and false, perhaps more collusive than others, who speculates on an alleged underworld for sleazy profit and power games. On the other hand, I have met people who love justice and with great determination, courage, seriousness undertake hard work, difficult and full of obstacles that taught me that organized crime is a cancer on civil society, but that next to it, even worse is the mafia mentality, with mafia methods, in a climate of silence on the part of those who, ultimately, eat at the same table.
Of Paolo Coltro
For years, Veneto has left the field open to the 'Ndrangheta, mafia and camorra. But without the help of local arms and brains the tumor would not have been able to take root Read More

There is no day that the government, the institutions, the apparatus and the media do not fire against the Invisible Enemy who has now become the Absolute Evil to be defeated: le fake news.
After the exorcists and the ghostbusters wanted by law of Boldrini and Fiano, the government has launched an invisible structure with the Minister of the Interior Minniti and the police chief Gabrielli to fight the nuclear war against fakes, and it was launched the other day by none other than the National Anti-Cyber ​​Crime Center in Tuscolano.
Meanwhile the global pirate Zuckerberg promises the chastity belt to Facebook and assures the Power that there will be secret filters, censorship and algorithms to combat diabolical fake news. Joining the media chorus, the former prime minister Monti - whose deadly government we have a vivid memory of - wrote an article yesterday in Corriere della sera claiming that we live in the era of fake news.
Now it seems like a world war to me against mosquitoes, or if you prefer the use of atomic bombs and entire armies to destroy butterflies, which fake news resembles in its ephemeral vagueness and elusive evanescence. Read More

The Ministry of Censorship. The hunt for fake news wants to muzzle alternative information
Source: National interest
«War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength". These are the three slogans that stand out printed on the facade of the pyramid-shaped building in white concrete where the headquarters of the Orwellian Ministry of Truth is located: it is inside it, in the Archive, who works the protagonist of 1984, Winston Smith. The Miniver (in neolingua) deals with information and propaganda and has the task of producing everything relating to information: promotion and diffusion of the party's precepts, publishing, radio and television programmes, literature. This body also deals with the rectification of this material, in a widespread and constant work of rewriting the sources. The Miniver, Meaning what, deals with falsifying information and propaganda to make the material disseminated compliant with the directives and ideology of Ingsoc. Big Brother, Indeed, Subdues the minds of citizens through “reality control”, that is, doublethink and nothing must escape the meshes of its all-pervasive dominion. Read More

Legal abortion has not eliminated clandestine abortion

Report Roman correspondence

Of Alfredo De Matteo
This year too, the report on the implementation of the law was sent to parliament 194/78, with the final data for the year 2016, published a few days ago on the portal of the ministry of health. The undeclared objective of this relationship is always the same: show to the public, numbers in hand, the presumed successes of the unfortunate law 194, in terms above all of a presumed significant and constant decrease in the overall number of abortions in Italy.
The system used to present the data is also always the same: the numbers of legal abortions in the various years of application of the law are indicated and compared to the latest data, those relating to the last year examined. It therefore turns out that in 2016 the children killed were "only" 84.926, il 3,1 percent less than the previous year, that is, well 2.713 fewer abortions. Furthermore, the data on the basis of which is highlighted in the report itself, compared to 1982, year in which the highest value of abortions was found, the number of them has more than halved.

Usa: created the office for religious freedom and conscience


US Catholic doctors celebrated the creation of an office for freedom of religion and conscience within the Department of Health and Human Services. The purpose of the new government body is to guarantee the application of the laws in force to protect the freedom of conscience of professionals and companies operating in the healthcare sector, sector particularly exposed to the risk of abuse by bodies and providers of family planning programmes.
The goal is to prevent anyone from being forced to participate in activities that violate their conscience such as abortion, sterilization, contraception and assisted suicide, one of the main causes – apparently, instead – of exclusion of Catholic doctors from residency programs.
The establishment of this body is another piece of the pro-life intentions clearly expressed by the Trump Administration and represents a halt to discriminatory policies that have been too widespread until now.. According to the director of this new office, Roger Severino, it is thus intended to demonstrate how «the laws of conscience are not empty words on paper, but guarantees of justice for the victims» of abuse.

L'ARCIGAY INVOCA SANZIONI CONTRO IL MEDICO CHE PROPONE A CHI LO DESIDERA UN PERCORSO PER ELIMINARE LE TENDENZE OMOSESSUALI

Reporting of BastaBugie editorial team
Other news from the gay world (less and less cheerful): according to Father Martin the Catechism pushes young gays to commit suicide, judge removed because he was against gay adoptions, civil union for convenience

and Gender Observatory

In Savona Arcigay issued its implacable fatwa against the family doctor Fabio Vaccaro “guilty” that they want to offer their patients with homosexual tendencies an alternative therapeutic path to the daily mantra, “you are as you are”, for which it would be right and proper to indulge any kind of instinct or drive, without asking too many questions, and to have then “increased the dose”, specifying his medical opinion on homosexuality, declaring to the Secolo XIX of Genoa: "We become homosexuals due to family dynamics and it is right to offer help to support these people to become men and women".
Unacceptable words for Mirko Principato, president of the Arcigay club “Openly” of Savona, who thus commented on Vaccaro's initiative to hang some posters inside his studio in Milan claiming the courses to cure homosexuality organized by Luca Di Tolve's Lot Group. […] The national secretary of Arcigay immediately echoed this in Principato, Gabriele Piazzoni, that he talked about “very serious fact” on which “it is urgent to intervene”, then seizing the opportunity to dust off the bill presented by Senator Sergio Lo Giudice to ban the so-called reparative theories.
