The truth about the Italian debt
by
by Ilaria Bifarini
But when the burden of Italian public debt was created? It all starts in 1981, in which an epochal event occurs, which acts as a watershed in the history of Italian economic sovereignty: the famous divorce between the Bank of Italy and the Treasury. With an almost univocal act, that is, a simple letter to the then governor of the Bank of Italy, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, Andreatta puts an end to the government's ability to monetarily finance its deficit. Removing the obligation then in force on the part of Palazzo Koch to purchase government bonds issued on the primary market, the Bank of Italy abandons its role as lender of last resort.

Gli uomini che scelsero l'Onore
by

The first nuclei of what later became the Republican Army, they were not established after the proclamation of the Social Republic, much less by imposition by the Germans, but they arose spontaneously in the hours immediately following the spread of the news that the armistice had been signed.
How many soldiers were there in those moments of absurd blindness of the commanders, they decided freely, in complete autonomy to refuse capitulation without a fight and to take the courageous and tragic decision not to accept change head on?
Certainly all the militia battalions rebelled, except one. The sailors of the Decima Flottiglia Mas refused the dishonor, the Nembo paratroopers stationed in Sardinia and Southern Italy, the submariners based in Bordeaux, which we will talk about later and numerous other departments, including the army located inside and outside the Italian borders. However, it was not just entire departments led by officers who made this difficult choice, but often single young people who, in complete autonomy, by the thousands, they showed up one by one at the German commands asking to be welcomed as volunteers so as not to pass weapons and baggage with the enemy.
When Mussolini proclaimed the Italian Social Republic, found himself already ready for the most total obedience at least 180.000 men (186.000 according to Battistelli and Molinari in the essay “the Armed Forces of the RSI) which were the basis for the new army even before Marshal Graziani, appointed Minister of Defense, gave rise to the reorganization of the Armed Forces with soldiers trained in Germany (12000 between officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers chosen from the tens of thousands who had asked to join the RSI)and with the class's call to arms 1924 e 1925.
A small parenthesis, contrary to what is repeated to underline the imposition that was made on young people to present themselves to arms, it must be said that the response was instead enthusiastic against all expectations. Official data were never released after the war, for obvious reasons, Pisanò says from in-depth research done that the resistance did not overcome the 5 percent.
Here is the testimony taken from the general's book, well-known scholar of military matters, Emilio Canevari “Graziani told me”: The turnout of recruits was enormous, unprecedentedly there were almost no draft dodgers, while the Carabinieri almost no longer exist, it certainly couldn't be said that the turnout in the districts had been determined by fear of sanctions.(…)in first place was Emilia col 98 (I say ninety-eight) percent of those presented. This is perhaps not the best indication of the favor with which the constitution of the new government was welcomed by the people?”
By the end of 1944 others had presented themselves for enlistment 350.000.

The EU and copyright: Internet censorship
by

Of Roberto Pecchioli
Source: Heretically
The EU Copyright Directive was approved by the European Parliament with 348 votes in favour,274 antonyms and 36 abstained. Once again the community institutions have proven to be enemies of the concrete freedom of citizens and shameless servants of large interest groups. The commitment of the large political-popular groupings is not surprising, socialists, liberals – in favor of the new legislation, much less the unanimous enthusiasm of the so-called "big press", whose publishers are the biggest beneficiaries of the new legislation. It is worth remembering that EU directives do not immediately become law in the Member States, who are given time to adapt their respective legislation. The compact opposition to the League and Five Star directive, in addition to that of various exponents of other orientations, leaves some faint glimmer of hope in the Italian Parliament.
Julia Reda is right, German deputy of the Pirate movement, leader of the opposition to the legislation, when he states that these are dark days for internet freedom. Let us therefore try to orient ourselves in the labyrinth of controversies that have accompanied the path of the directive. The declared objective, shareable, is to reform and modernize the rules relating to licensed content circulating online (copyright, intellectual property, ecc.). The directive establishes a series of measures the result of which will be prohibition, making them impossible, some daily habits of internet users: share news on social networks or post “memes”, content created by users, if subject in whole or in part to licenses or rights. The privatization of the network for the benefit of a few large companies is a done deal, with all the consequences in terms of limitation of freedom. Read More

After Verona. The family is right-wing?
by

The more than shareable analysis that ridicules the distancing of intellectualists, bad guys, “I would like to but I can't”, various niches.

by Roberto Pecchioli
The Verona families' congress clarified many things. First of all, he agreed with Carl Schmitt: Rarely has the friend-enemy ridge appeared clearer after the hysterical preventive counter-demonstration, the disordered attacks of the grotesque troupe itinerant of the professional indignants in the name of (They) progress, the humiliating embarrassment of the Catholic Church, the distancing of the so-called moderates of liberal origin, the descent into the field of the entire army corps of media sinister, cultural, politico. In the year of the Lord 2019, the family is right-wing. Those who follow us know our idiosyncrasy for the term, the irreducible distance from certain economic and social positions, the annoyance at the delayed police excesses. Nevertheless, the crux of the matter, we say this with sadness, it's all here: noted the massive mobilization, wild, full of resentment from the left and important sectors of the circumspect and liberals, the family has become right-wing.
So is saying that the sun rises every morning and children have a father and a mother. The great writer Gilbert K. Chesterton was a prophet when he said that one should draw his sword to observe that the grass is green in spring. He was also right in recognizing that the family has been defeated by capitalism, this destructive phenomenon whose injustices led in reaction to the birth of communism. The devastating spectacle of hatred, trivial intolerance, the arrival of anti-Italy before the family congress should open the eyes of anyone with eyes to see and brains to think.
The terminal West has found its definitive enemy, the last one to be defeated, the family precisely, with all existential principles, community and moral it represents. It would be more accurate to say that the enemy of transversal progressivism – born on the left, paid right, which it represents, unfortunately, the axis of postmodern societies- it's nature. The real attack, absolute, it is in fact against the empire of nature, the creation of believers. Read More

Berlusconi achieved sixty-eight?

Berlusconi achieved sixty-eight?
Source: Heretically
The small bookstores and street bouquinistes are precious. Old editions can be found from them, books that were thought to be out of print, authors and texts from small publishers, garrison of freedom. Visiting a bookshop in the historic center of a small town we came across a little book of a few pages written in 2011 by the philosopher and art historian Mario Perniola, passed away recently. The title is intriguing, The text is interesting and can be read in one go: Berlusconi or '68 realized...
The thesis of the intellectual from Asti is that the Knight would be proof of the success of the anthropological revolution triggered by the ideas, Parisian and Californian, of the 1968. Strange indeed that the heterodox positions of a few thinkers are considered reactionary, together with powerful but isolated voices accused of "Rossobrunism" (Costanzo Preve) are accepted in some way, or at least revisited, by a figure like that of Perniola. Already a left-wing extremist, close to the Situationist International in his youth until his personal friendship with Guy Debord, subsequently historian and philosopher of art on very critical positions of post modernity, enemy of “weak thinking”, protagonist of heated controversies with Gianni Vattimo, presents a surprising thesis and not without a certain charm. The knight of Arcore would be, in the vision of Luigi Pareyson's student, the one who achieved what 1968 had supported.
As an insider of the movement (Perniola was born in 1941 and began to intervene in the cultural debate in the mid-1950s 60) he sees in the figure of Berlusconi “that will to power, that ranting triumphalism, that extreme desire to destabilize the whole of society which pervaded 1968. End of work and family, deschooling, destruction of the university, deregulation of sexuality, counter-culture, and discredit of medical expertise and collapse of healthcare facilities, hostility towards judicial institutions considered repressive, youthful vitalism, triumph of mass media communication, oblivion of stories and spontaneous presentism, all this has now become reality.” Read More

Stop Italy, I want to go down

Stop Italy, I want to go down
Source: Heretically
Stop Italy, I want to go down. One of the problems, getting older, it is no longer being able to understand what we see. The codes to decipher the new reality slip out of our hands, one feels like a stranger, inadequate and we end up withdrawing into ourselves. If "they" see it, we remain spectators of events that happen despite us and of which we are unable to identify the meaning or direction. How to watch a Bengali film in the original language. This is why so many of us want to come down.
Little Italy has become Italiaccia. For a couple of days we had three governments. The one in charge "for the handling of current affairs", as the bombastic and subtly humorous formula of the official protocol states, that of “the president” by Carlo Cottarelli, official of the International Monetary Fund, as well as the one unwelcome to all oligarchies, led by Professor Conte with the participation of the sinister Bolshevik, fascist and anti-European Paolo Savona. The Jesuit training of the head of state made it possible to resurrect a theological category that had fallen into oblivion, that of sins committed with thoughts, parole, works and omissions. The trial of the intentions of the diabolical octogenarian Savona, ready to exit the euro 48 net hours (?!) however, it allowed Italians to see more clearly.
The good Mattarella presented himself to the people to claim the stop in Savona in the name of the Markets, revealing – holy naivety – who is the guarantor and president. The European Commissioner with a German passport, HerrOettinger, he too was struck by an attack of sincerity, he growled that the Markets will take care of it (always with a capital letter!) to teach the Italians, small, neri, dirty and stinking to vote properly. Even Juncker, perhaps betrayed by the Belgian beer, he revealed opening words how annoyed the inhabitants of the country are, slackers, maintained, corrupt (very true, but in crowded company) and many other things.
