Amici, this time too we are long. Pardon. However for 15 days I'm out and, so, there is time to slowly make it. If you believe.

Salvini closed a crucial week of his political and government struggle with a bang: becoming the most important man in the newly formed sovereignist formation inspired by Steve Bannon, “The Movement”, can count on a European level. A counter-move probably much heavier than the same Facebook video that literally sent the center-left opposition into madness (but also some government allies...), in response to the judicial siege of the Genoa prosecutors (on the League's accounts) and Agrigento and Palermo (on the Diciotti question) who in recent days seem to have sounded the charge for the final attack on the Ministry of the Interior.
The announcement of Salvini's membership of the creation of Trump's former advisor must immediately be placed in an international and electoral context: Bannon is weaving the threads of a sovereignist aggregation across the Old Continent in view of the European elections in May. And in fact he is touring Europe in suitable company. Read More
“It is hatred that presided over the funeral of Senator John McCain, and perhaps more than hatred": I am quoting Philippe Grasset, because he returns to that frightening ceremony that brought together the entire American Establishment (and also European), grasping the tuning fork that, both through self-censorship and habituation, we didn't catch it: the satanic “tone”.. McCain, 81 years, brain cancer, took care of…

FIFTH COLUMN
Of Marcello Veneziani
The day will come when green will separate from yellow, the League it will be the new right and the M5 location it will be the new left. A new bipolar system will be born from the present government majority. The times could be quick if in the autumn or even immediately the coalition splits on the sensitive issues we already know, that is, migrants, judges, pensions, citizen's income, nationalizations, while on others such as Europe and the aversion to the Caste of potentates seem to be quite homogeneous. But if they resist the autumn test, there will then be the test of Europe when the two parties will present themselves divided and will hoard votes, some in the center-right area and the others predominantly on the left..
This prophecy has been circulating under the surface for some time, e Bobo Maroni has recently relaunched it, seeing the League as the heir of the right and Forza Italia and the Grillini as the heirs of the left and the Democratic Party. Compared to the new right and the new left that those falling caryatids will make? They will change their name, face and leader to their retreating parties, they will cling to the past (Veltroni and Berlusconi), they will try to open bridges to the two main Subjects through their ambassadors (Toti and Zingaretti). And to complete the game we will then have to see what happens to Fratelli d'Italia and Liberi e Uguali, if they are inside, out on sharecropping, satellites or on the sidelines, compared to the two main poles.

The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior: the left exists only to insult me, to defend the bankers' EU and unlimited immigrationWith the Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini “I would like to get to know you personally. He is my hero”. The Hungarian Prime Minister said so, Viktor Orban, leaving the restaurant where he had lunch in Milan. “He is my destiny companion – he added – I'm very curious to know his personality. I'm a big fan and have some experiences that maybe I could share with him. I have this feeling”, concluded Orbàn.

Report Wall Street Italia
After the collapse of the Morandi Bridge, which resulted in the death of at least 43 people, the Conte government has developed a maxi investment plan from 82 billion to renew Italian infrastructure.
Shortly after the collapse of the A10 viaduct in Genoa, the Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini, leader of the League, attributed the responsibility for the catastrophe to the austerity policies imposed by the EU.
From there the idea of the yellow-green government was born: invest all the money necessary to ensure the safety of the roads, of the railways, of schools, of hospitals, regardless of the limits of the budget constraints deemed "crazy" by Salvini and other Euro-skeptical representatives of the majority.
At the same time the EU denied any culpability, recalling that the European Commission had actually assigned 2,5 billions of euros in subsidies to Italy between 2014 and the 2020 within the framework of piano Juncker aimed precisely at financing works to improve infrastructure or create new structures.

Scrive Eric Zuesse, are strategic-culture.org, that two political camps, one led by George Soros, and the other created by newcomer Steve Bannon, they entered into competition for political control of Europe. Soros led the big capitalists for a long time liberals Americans for control of Europe, and Bannon is now organizing a team of conservative billionaires to snatch victory from the liberals. So the two factions of 'philanthropists' will now fight for control of the political consensus and European institutions. However, they will struggle to keep Europe as an ally in the war against Russia, but each team will do so from different ideological perspectives. Just as there is a liberal-conservative political polarization between capitalists within a nation, there is also another polarization among capitalists regarding their nation's foreign policies. None of them are progressives or left-wing populists. The only 'populism' that any capitalist currently promotes is that of Bannon's team. Anyway both teams demonize each other for control of the US Government, and internationally for control of the entire world, opposing two different visions of the world: liberal and conservative, or rather globalist and nationalist. Both then say they support 'democracy, but instead promote the spread of "democracy" through the invasion and occupation of "enemy" countries. […] Read More
Wall Street Journal: «Italy is a danger for the euro». Salvini: «The strong powers want to crush us»Of Paola Di Caro
The first was Giancarlo Giorgetti about ten days ago: «I expect the attack, the markets are populated by hungry hedge funds who choose their prey and act". Parole, those of the Northern League undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council, that had shaken the political scene, and which were immediately collected by other government officials. Like Luigi Di Maio, who immediately said he was ready to react if the much-feared storm on the markets were to arrive: «If someone wants to use the markets against the government, know that we are not blackmailable. There is no Berlusconi at Palazzo Chigi who gave up for his companies".
Il 19 Matteo Salvini took up the theme of a possible assault on the government and the "Italian experiment" by international "strong powers" in August, with a stark warning: «They will try to crush us, but we will not retreat an inch. Almost as if to open a preventive polemical front, also - perhaps - in reaction to an article in the Wall Street Journal according to which the end of the "long marathon" to save Greece will mark "the closure of the Eurozone crisis", if it weren't for "Italy and the nagging fear that the euro isn't so stable after all". A "danger", the Italian one, represented by the «market shocks relived last week on Italian debt and the new attacks against the European establishment by politicians in Rome», which could lead to a "destabilizing capital flight". The financial newspaper explains that the decisive test will be in the autumn, when "the Italian populist government will have to present the budget law and explain how it will cover its expensive promises to voters".

MB. I post this very important article by Evans-Pritchard here because it demonstrates the inhuman consequences of technocratic dictatorship – that is, the loss of sovereignty over the economy and currency . States have ceded power and sovereignty to unelected technocracies (self-selected) , based on the mythical belief that politicians make mistakes out of ignorance or because they are corrupt while technocrats are “scientific”, …
