THE OPINION ON YESTERDAY'S VERONA NEWS 15/05/2018 18:16

AFTER CHESTNUT'S ATTACK ON BRIANI

Even conservatism, a Verona, it is a land of conquest (politics). The recent attack of Matteo Castagna of Christus Rex to the Councilor for Culture Francesca Briani (“It's gay-friendly, resign") attests to it.

We are not interested in going into the merits of the controversy. The interesting fact is Castagna's timing and skill in "riding" the story, so as to put the arrow and overcome – in terms of media representation – who so far has established himself as the main champion of "traditional" values, i.e. The People of the Family of Filippo Grigolini. Which on Facebook he candidly admits: “We were beaten to the punch by the Christus Rex association, close to the mayor".

A disappointment. Il PdF, in the last year, had managed to occupy and monopolize the political space of "tradition" – see the cases of the Living Library at Tocatì, of the pro-gay “Marry who you want” stand at the Arsenale and even the controversy over Elton John in the Arena.

Now the invective of Chestnut, then received by the mayor, marks a new fact. And the (momentary) media overtaking could also have a political effect. Because if The People of the Family – despite his radical conservatism on ethical issues – It defines itself as “Christian inspired, but secular, non-denominational and open to non-believers and other religious confessions" and is culturally in the center-right fold with also hints of transversal civility (its national leader, Mario Adinolfi, he has a long history in the centre-left), Christus Rex is close to radical right-wing positions and is avowedly “a group of Integral Roman Apostolic Catholics (sedevacantists)” therefore pre-conciliar.

Conservative radicalism in Verona will become even more radicalized?

Plato's Republic: a philosophy against the modern world
by

Of Luca Leonello Rimbotti
Plato's Republic: a philosophy against the modern world
Source: Italicum
Literary utopia, or a true manual for building politicians? Criticism of Plato's most scathing and incisive work has often moved between these two poles, considering this capital text from time to time as a rhetorical exercise, or an ontological proof, or instead, something that is to be shared, a true manifesto of universal politics, capable of constituting at any time a code of exemplary social stability. Other times however, as in the case of the liberal Popper, Plato and his “Republic” played the part of public enemy number one, the ideology that, proposing a well-organized society in itself, firm and solid and therefore closed to external dangers and evils, more than others, it endangers the beatitudes of the "open society".
The catalog of positions that the Platonic "Republic" presents is one that is difficult to digest for those with an egalitarian stomach, pacifist and progressive. It is impossible not to see that ancient classicism and postmodern degeneration are in antithetical positions. For bourgeois and moderate eyes, cosmopolitans and "do-gooders", Plato's thought represents the greatest scandal: it outlines the community to the highest degree, and therefore dismisses individualism a priori, which instead is the great refuge of liberal impotence. These are some of the most qualifying points of Platonic politics, which constitute – as rightly so, from his point of view, Popper noted – how much more unassimilable to the mentality of post-modern "democrats".: the rigid and severe paideia, the education and selection to which Plato entrusted in the "Republic" the growth of the ruling classes of the ideal city; the suppression of individualism in the face of the prevalence of community interests; community, really, of women and property; the abolition of private property; the dominance of the "organic" State over the individual, whose rights are unknown, but only duties; the type of government, hierarchical, aristocratic and elitist, in which philosophers participate and not at all the mass of the people. All this scandalises the hypocritical and fraudulent nature of modern "democrats"., who pass off their upper-bourgeois oligarchies as governments "of the people" and exchange their financial dictatorships for services rendered to the majority.

Dissolution of state factors
by

Of Luciano Del Vecchio
Dissolution of state factors
Source: Appeal to the People
For about a quarter of a century, a massive and progressive occupation of power by supranational private potentates has been modifying and distorting the legal nature of the modern state, which seems to revert from a state of law to a balance sheet. Globalization has taken hold and digital technology has developed, the rule of law, which is based on legislative activity, the division of powers and on the prevalence of a Constitution, has progressively lost ground. On the one hand, the constitutional changes were inspired by the principle of the minimal state of liberal ideology, on the other the constitutional norms, escaped the distortion and liberal tampering, are not concretely applied by quisling because they are postponed, in the source hierarchy, to the rules of the European treaties. Our Constitutional Court, interpreting the art too broadly. 11 Cost., it established the superiority of treaties over domestic law: ruling that the courts of other countries, Germany in the lead, they were careful not to adopt. He moved in parallel with the judges a political class That, educated by history and home tradition to transformism, he felt no scruples of dignity and coherence in crossing all sides from one pole to the other, to finally recognize oneself as uniformed and flattened everything on liberal ideology: This group was and still is the most suitable to transpose and slavishly apply the tables of the law, not just the orders of the European Commission, but also simple agreements dictated by international trade or financial organizations. Magistrates, politicians, academics, intellectuals, commentators and TV commentators, a whole army of attendants to hand over power into private hands, they were raised and "fed" in the climate of political revolution, economic and technological that, since the end of the 80s of the last century, it destroyed the old cultural and legal categories of public law. Today an economic and financial oligarchy, intentionally stateless or cosmopolitan, which becomes law with the power of money and technology, it replaced the rule of law, invalidating the ancient definitions of legal science e, with a new modality in history, exercises real power detached from the idea of ​​the State, indifferent to the territory, foreign or hostile to the people. Handing over the structure of state power into private hands involves not so much the elimination of the State as the last and only institution to defend the community of citizens and the general interest, as much as its metamorphosis: the rule of law historically and politically relegates itself to a patrimonial state of absolutist memory.

Freedom is not free, nor politics

Of Alberto Bagnai

Before diving into reading the DEF, of which I should be rapporteur in the Special Commission […] I would like to remind one thing to all those whom this blog has taught to read reality with different eyes, to connect the dots into a coherent picture.
If you can listen today these words, o these words, that is, if you can feel represented in our institutions, if you can hope that words will be followed by deeds, if you have a reasonable and well-founded hope that our country will regain awareness of its dignity, and that institutions return to thinking in terms of national interest and not magical thinking, if this happened, you certainly owe it to Claudio's tenacity [Villages] and mine, to our willingness to fight for our country, for ours (that is, yours too) interest: this, naturally, it was a necessary condition.
However, it wouldn't have been enough.
So that these good ideas, although not particularly original, On the contrary, I would say: good precisely because they are not particularly original, to the limit of the tautological (an unsustainable monetary arrangement is unsustainable, Procyclical fiscal rules are procyclical), so that these ideas, I said, could be transformed into political practice, could reach the Palace, another junction was essential. The real turning point was the listening that Matteo Salvini gave to our message. What allows you to see yourselves represented in the Senate and the Chamber today was the intellectual humility and openness of spirit with which Salvini accepted, unlike everyone (that is, everyone) the other Italian politicians, to confront an alternative vision of the world. I add that even this would not have been enough.

Reflections on the "idolatry of the migrant"
by

Of Anonymous Pontino (and “Yes Yes No No”, n. 5, in the year 44, 15 March 2018)

Promises of happiness that turn into their opposite are Satan's oldest trick.
The seductions of well-being and easy entertainment have only been given to us long enough to take away the spiritual resources that will instead be necessary in the future of deprivation and desolation that awaits us.
The people, in large part, has been conditioned to live on induced consumption, idiotic shows, soccer, games, lotteries, free sex, drugs, to forget empty lives destroyed by moral regression, unprecedented civil and social.
We have lost our way.
You want education in discipline and Christian values ​​in schools, perhaps a reevaluation of the values ​​of Cavalry in a society where footballers and showgirls are the models proposed to our children? then you will all be against each other, including “evolved” Catholics, the “open” ones, committed to crushing with mercy any opposition to "welcome at all costs" in accordance with the new one “idolatry of the migrant”.

I know which country will be next to be invaded by the United States

I know which country will be next to be invaded by the United States

At the end of this article, it will be clear which nation will be next to be invaded and devastated by the United States. O, in the absence of this, what will be the next nation that our military and intelligence industrial complex will try to invade at all costs.
We would all like to know why America does what it does. And I don't mean why Americans do what we do. I think this question could be asked, in many centuries, some future professor, as he shows his students a telepathic video of some current UFC fight [Ultimate Fighting Championship – mixed martial arts] where the contestants kick each other in the face in front of a cheering crowd (not for one or the other of the two combatants, but rather for (view) more kicks in the face).
But we all seem to take America for granted, understood as an entity and as a corporation, has some kind of higher motivation for his behaviors, for the actions carried out by its ruling class. But, in practice, Most of us realize that the reasons fed to us by press officers and ridiculous evening news anchors are the most rotten, smelliest bullshit there could be.. Read More

Italians don't exist? “They fear a sovereignist wave. I say: Italy first"
by

“Because they attack true Catholics, i.e. the traditionalists, as Saint Pius X said? Why We Have Faith, Hope, Charity and let's fight with a smile, we divide the world into friends and enemies of Christ and we have chosen the banner of the Sacred Heart. We love the Truth, we do not fear it and we do not hide it. If anything we shout it. It does not conform to the trend of the world? We shrug, we are identitarian, because for us there is always a sacred I don't care!” (M. Chestnut, 1/05/2018)
Of Paolo Becchi
Italians don't exist? “They fear a sovereignist wave. I say: Italy first"
Source: lospecialegiornale
“Italians do not exist and we are more different between east and west than between north and south”. It is the title of an article on the front page of the online website Corriere della Sera. An anthropological investigation that aims to demonstrate how Italians in practice do not exist as a nation. A study that made the philosopher very suspicious Paolo Becchi who speaks to The Special. According to Davide Pettener, anthropologist of the Department of Biological Sciences, Geological and Environmental Sciences of the University of Bologna, who created a bank of DNA samples to trace the genetic history of Italians, the Italian people would not exist. According to the anthropologist it would actually be "just a geographical aggregation. We have different genetic identities, linked to different stories and origins and not just those". In short, what sovereignty, we are children of migrations and crossbreeding of various peoples and we do not have a typically Italian DNA.
Becchi, therefore Italians do not exist? We returned to Metternich and his idea of ​​"Italy as a mere geographical expression"? Read More

Alfie's death and our conscience

AN OPINION
Of David Nieri
Alfie's death and our conscience
Source: Franco Cardini
In the end he didn't make it, poor Alfie. He passed away on Saturday night 28 April, a few days before his second birthday. Personally, I hoped for it until the end. I hoped the little one would continue to breathe, therefore to live, after the life support “plug” had been pulled a few days earlier. I hoped that at least the European Court would rule in favor of the transfer to "Bambino Gesù", after the Italian government had granted Alfie Italian citizenship to allow him to expatriate. Finally, I hoped for a miracle – we Catholics, you know, we believe - that it would annihilate judges and scientists from across the Channel who intend to rule on "life worth living" by establishing the boundary as a question of right, perhaps even going against the wishes of the parents - for a child under two years old, the only one possible. But in the land of Albion – that of the god of the English in whom you should never believe, and in fact I don't believe it – that's how it works: if there is no agreement between doctors and family, the law provides for the intervention of a judge. In the case in question, the doctors at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool had already declared, last December, that they have exhausted all options available to save the little one, therefore deciding to suspend the artificial ventilation that was keeping him alive. Decision to which obviously Tom and Kate Evans, the two very young parents, they were opposed, indicating among the treatment possibilities also the transfer to the "Bambino Gesù". None of this happened. As in the sad case of Charlie Gard, the end of a child's life has been decreed by law, and repeated appeals - including from the Holy See - to try to save the child were of no avail. Read More
