The enemy has arrived: we knew it was coming, sooner or later; o, at least, all the generations that preceded us knew it: only ours seems to have forgotten a very simple truth: that those who do not love themselves and are not willing to fight to defend what they are and what they possess, or at least what he received as an inheritance from his fathers, summons the forces that will sweep him away: and so she allowed herself to be completely surprised. The guards were asleep; some have opened the doors to the invader: partly because they mistook him for a friend, partly because they had already decided to betray the city and abandon it into the hands of the first comer, such is the hatred that they have allowed to grow in their hearts towards the one who was the mother of all, and that, for better or for worse, it made us what we are now, while without her we would now be nothing, numbers, livestock. These, these traitors, they don't really love the enemy, how much they detest their fellow citizens and everything that their civilization represents: just to see one destroyed and the other razed to the ground, they would have been quick to throw open the doors to anyone, even to the most barbaric and cruel occupant.
To properly prepare the soil, this race of traitors has sown, for years, for decades, the poison of a false philanthropism and an even more false humanitarianism; so much so that by dint of beating and replying, one lie after another, one year after another, gradually conquering the entire information establishment, the scholastic one and the pseudo cultural one, we have reached the point of having contracted the deadly disease of self-racism: reverse racism, that we turn against ourselves.

The coldest of all monsters, Nietzsche said of the State - and he didn't know what the Market would be... The last person to want to put handcuffs on freedom of expression is the Poland governed by the Catholic-nationalist right: It is forbidden to claim that the Nazi extermination camps were Polishi. Put it like this, he would seem like a fool trying to abolish something stupid by decree: the concentration camps were undoubtedly German, to define them in any other way would simply be false or inaccurate. But unless you're under oath in a trial, punish those who declare falsely with prison (Now it's fashionable to call them fake news), it is trying to cage the least cageable, compressible and repressible there is: the thought.
Even if it were an unfounded and clearly idiotic thought. Dice: but how naive, Power has been trying to deny it since the dawn of time, often or almost regularly succeeding, the circulation of unwelcome facts and ideas. Certainly. And if he doesn't proclaim himself democratic, there would be no problem: in dictatorship, under an absolute monarch or with the Inquisition reigning, we knew that certain things could be thought but not said, but at least you were dealing with a hateful oppressor yes, but consistent with its principles. But if, like in Warsaw, we are happy to consider ourselves democratic, then any form of censorship becomes inadmissible. Read More

Everyone says it: Berlusconi says so, Renzi says it, the big media commentators hypothesize it. A null political result is emerging. Who doesn't say it, for tactical reasons, he thinks so. Nobody is sure of a majority, let alone an assignment.
Polls are increasingly less credible, while a good third of the electorate says they are against going to vote. In reality, many more than a third will not vote, as a sign of protest against the political class that, in these last few weeks, is showing signs of real chaos, among rocks of bombastic promises of change that no one believes.

Foreign policy after 4 March

But the perception of the state of things is now general. The right - which claims to have an advantage in consensus - is not at all sure of its position. Looms over the right-wing alliance “four-legged” around Berlusconi (for now not a candidate for prime minister) the threat of a rapid split between Forza Italia and Salvini's League. Which, despite the alliance, he presents himself in all television debates with very different positions from those of Berlusconi. Not neglecting to say, every three words, That, if he will take “just one more vote”, he will be the head of government. An alliance, so, which could end up in first place (but certainly without a parliamentary majority), but find themselves split immediately after the vote. And the worries don't end there. How to govern yourself (if this were the outcome)? With this question the headaches become excruciating. Everyone knows that the starting hypothesis was something new “pact of the Nazarene” between Forza Italia and Matteo Renzi, head of the Democratic Party. But now? Once again the polls show the PD in free fall. An alliance with Berlusconi alone would not have the numbers. With Berlusconi plus Salvini he would have neither the numbers nor any decency. For too great divergences of intentions on topics such as Europe and the economy. The uncertainty of the new coalition weighs heavily on the left of the PD “Free and United” (LEU), product of the split in Renzi's party. How many votes will it take away from him? Nobody can predict it, but it will be a hemorrhage of at least 5%. Deadly for the new Renzi-Berlusconi pact. E, in any case, LEU declares its total unavailability for an agreement with the right and, therefore she will not carry water to Renzi, who he just slammed the door in his face.

Movement 5 place: no more sanctions, Russia strategic partner

Everyone, Then, fearing the judgment of the voters, they say they don't want to “mess up”, that is, they exclude alliances to which, actually, everyone thinks. And then? No majority emerges no matter which way you look at the mosaic. The M5S, for his part, he repeats that he will not make alliances with anyone. If he finished first, so, he would be alone. And then? At that time, in case of assignment (Surely”reckless”) That, in that case, the President of the Republic, could entrust him, he would go to Parliament waving his program and asking “convergences” in all directions. Being evident that no one “will converge”. although the M5S gives the impression of wanting to propose a government “anesthetized” to get out of an equally opposition “anesthetized”. But it is clear that “he doesn't want to win”, Why, if he won, he should immediately acknowledge that he does not have a majority. Someone puts forward the hypothesis, really adventurous, of an alliance between the League, — who abandons Berlusconi — and the Movement 5 position. Ma, apart from the numbers, which should become very different from what is expected, and which make such a government majority very hypothetical, there is the destiny of both. Such an alliance, taking into account the great differences in the composition of the electoral body of the two parties, it could negatively mark the fate of both. Too risky for both Salvini and Di Maio. And then it is evident that such an alliance (o “convergence”, as Di Maio says) It would last a few weeks at most. And then it would be all over again.

Putin: “It doesn't even occur to us to interfere in the Italian elections”

LEU more 5 position? Unless there's a fantastic exploit (that no one now foresees) of both, the majority isn't even there in a dream. Other outsiders are not visible on the horizon, also because the media does not want troublemakers who stir up the waters of this swamp. And therefore they only let those who are already in Parliament speak. The cacophony is already at its peak even without the disruptors of the out-of-tune choir. How do we get out of it? Returning to the polls in October. That is the 4 March will be just a stage. We will therefore need a transitional government. Everyone is thinking of Gentiloni and we can swear that President Mattarella is thinking of him too. But before we get to the new elections in October, a new electoral law will be needed. The current one is clearly unconstitutional and everyone knows it. How to do it? For now, no one thinks about it: the current headaches are more than enough. Nervousness increases. Many interpret the Macerata shooting, — where an avowed fascist tried to shoot dead several black immigrants — as a stark sign of worsening social tension. Which is now a sum of tensions: from that of immigrants, to the economic one, to that of unemployment and widespread poverty, in addition to the absence of new jobs. And the deluge of promises produces intolerance and protest.

All the significant struggles carried out have long been abandoned (too often without the help of good faith) over the last half century, from the workers' battles of the years 70/80, to the anti-globalization of the end of the years 90, to environmentalist or pseudo-environmental causes (No TAB, No Dal Molin, No Mose, No Muos) of the first decade of the new century, the so-called antagonistic left (probably only about herself) he now finds himself in disarray, incapable of presenting itself with a minimum of credibility in the hell of globalization to which it itself contributed…..
Without having any more strong arguments through which to bring together the new generations, without an antagonistic spirit that goes beyond the stone-throwing agreed with the police or “from the epic” contended with a shop window, now orphaned of any ideology, the “left antagonist” having now become globalist and globalist, today it finds itself increasingly adrift, devoid of any point of reference and functional only to the interests of that elite who pretended to fight for fifty years.
The only arguments “strong” to which Che Guevara's orphans now try to anchor themselves, of red flags and an insincere anti-Global spirit, they are an anti-historical anti-fascism in the absence of fascism and the all-out defense of human trafficking perpetrated by the globalizing policy of an elite that pursues colonization and social dumping. All seasoned with the desire to prevent the free expression of thought to anyone who dares to express ideas and positions different from theirs. (branded as a fascist par excellence) and with a visceral hatred towards their country and the flag that represents it. Read More
