Verona, Saturday 24/11 ore 11 Liston 12 (Piazza Bra): Fake news and real information
Coccopalmerio: accuse false. Vatican denies. Let's rectify.
“The American newspaper LifeSiteNews published the news, already denied by the Vatican, that he had participated in an alleged red light party Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio. Untrue news but partly attributable to the story of the Oltretevere arrest, in the summer of 2017, by Monsignor Luigi Capozzi, former secretary of the cardinal. The newspaper received the news from priests who had asked for theanonymity to avoid receiving reprisals.
In Italy the news was also taken up by liberoquotidiano.it with the title: “Pope Francis, Cardinal Coccopalmerio arrested in the Vatican: the homosexual and drugs party“. Read More
The Forgers of the New Science
Of Roberto Pecchioli
Source: Heretically
We know well the level of manipulation reached by contemporary culture and communication, dominated by a few giants, property of the planetary economic and financial oligarchy. Likewise, we have become convinced of the ideological falsification of the so-called human sciences, at the service of an anthropology interested in creating the new man, the fluid and generally transgender consumer. It is clear that many disciplines that deal with sensitive topics such as gender, sexuality, psychoanalysis, racial identities are the terrain of authentic evildoers who have occupied the academic level doing political activism, ideology, certainly not culture and much less science.
Nonetheless, reality surpasses fantasy; one is left speechless when reading the incredible background of an article published in the "prestigious" American magazine Gender, Place and Culture. These are dog parks, apparently innocent places where man's best friend can run around safe and happy, play and have fun. According to a study signed by Dr. Helen Wilson of a mysterious Portland Ungendering Initiative, the reality is much more sinister. Dog parks, he claims, they are places completely pervaded by an oppressive and heteropatriarchal culture aimed at violating nature, where innocent animals are oppressed as a direct reflection of sexist violence, structural in our society.

Migrants rape and commit crime. But Caritas doesn't want it to be known
The report by Migrantes and Caritas on migrants: “Stereotypes and fake news create hysteria”
Of Claudio Cartaldo
Now the Caritas e Migrants they also want to indicate the news that Italians must see or read about migrants.
The reason? According to Church organizations, it is necessary that “our communities” acquire a new "grammar of communication" that is "adherent to the facts and respectful of people".
The immigration report
In their Report Immigration, Caritas and Migrantes monitored the news regarding immigration that appeared in the prime time news programs of the Rai networks, Mediaset and La7. And what comes out of it? That in twelve years pieces, services and minutes dedicated to the topic of immigration have grown exponentially, up to ten times as much as in the past. In fact, we arrived from 380 news of 2005 all 4.268 of the 2017.
According to the report there would be a correlation between the flows migratory who arrive in the Bel Paese, the media interest in immigrants and "events of a political nature" that concern the country. “It's striking to note – we read – that the feeling of threat to safety and public order traced back to immigration experienced since 2013 constant growth. During the 2017 prime time news programs mostly focus on migratory flows (40%), reserving almost half of the news for the numbers and management of landings on the Italian coasts. An additional one 34% of the tele-journalistic services is dedicated to issues relating to immigration, crime and security“.
Caritas and Migrantes criticize the fact that they are almost never there “good news” sui migrants. To the story of the welcome, Indeed, In the 2017 only 11% of the news was reserved. But there must be a reason, no?

The crimes of migrants
In fact, there is data to certify the boom in crimes involving immigrants. Cold numbers. To reveal them, as written by Newspaper, it was there Hume Foundation in the analysis entitled “Crime and Immigration in Italy”. The data comes from Istat, who put them together by asking the prosecutors and the Ministry of the Interior (therefore taking into account both convictions or open proceedings and simple complaints). What comes of it? That in all types of crime the crimes of immigrants are greater, in proportion to the population, to those of the natives. You are surprised? No. But apparently Caritas does. For example in voluntary homicides from 2006 al 2015 the accused immigrants grew by 22% while the natives have decreased by 17%.
Similar data they had been spread by Interior Ministry also for the 2018. Among the crimes reported to foreigners, sexual violence was on the rise (+5,7%), the robber (+5,7%), the thefts (+5,1%), scams and computer fraud (+4,3%), up to obviously drug-related crimes (+5,2%). And to think that crimes by foreigners are increasing, the general ones are decreasing. In general between 1 January and 30 June of 2018 have been reported and/or arrested 429.506 people, of which 136.876 foreigners (il 31,9% of the total). After all, the same Migrantes report also certifies that “al 31 December 2017 the prison population matters 19.745 foreign prisoners among defendants, convicted and interned. Compared to the same period of 2016, when immigrants were 18.621, If it registers an increase in +6%“.
The Caritas alarm
Yet Caritas carries on. “We have heard how stereotypes about migration can create collective hysteria – said Don Francesco Soddu, director of the Italian Caritas – we cannot ignore the concern for the construction of clichés about migrants and those who work to host them. NGOs are portrayed as enemy number one“. According to Soddu “there is a distorted narrative of the migration phenomenon”. And so there the she is ready to “promote everything that can contribute to the containment of this cultural drift“.

Libya-Syria: who they support, who to cheer for
Of Fulvio Grimaldi
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.
Let's face it: What good rulers are those of Al Qaeda and Isis!
For those cheering in Syria those there (don't let me mention them otherwise Facebook will ban me and delete the post) it's not difficult to know: just read the "New York Times”, golden standard of journalism perennially worthy of recognition, if not Pulitzer, di Reporters Without Borders (the media counterpart of Medicins Sans Frontières and equally dear to those there). If we thought that they were concentrated in the northwestern province of Idlib, welcomed, fed and armed by the old Turkish godfathers, all the ISIS and Al Qaeda cutthroats generously evacuated from the territories and cities they embellished with crosses weighed down by infidels, or with skins from the flayed bodies of dissidents, reading the "New York Times" frees us from the intoxication of similar fake news.
The authoritative newspaper that, if it hadn't been for the CNN assist, of the media of Atlanticist obedience with, in our small way, the "manifesto", he would have freed us from Milosevic with his pens alone, Saddam, Gaddafi, Assad is the Taliban, rectifies what has so far and for too long, almost eight years, it was false information, liar, fraudulent. Assad, with those hackers and trolls of Russian urbi et orbi interference, with those spirited flagellating Scythians, Iranians and Hezbollah, he wanted us to believe, with the support of kilometers of manufactured audiovisual materials, depicting vigilantes who skinned innocent people alive, they set them on fire, they either drowned them in cages or crucified them, or they married the women by the hour, that his country had been invaded, not by democratic opponents assisted by the "international community", but rather by a pack of Islamist maniacs activated by an "international community" in the throes of mass murderer psychopathy. As he claimed had happened in Libya and, then again, in Iraq.
No, no, the NYT and our local Pulitzers reward us with the privilege of the truth: Destiny is terrifying."of rebel fighters and their civilian supporters who, over seven years ago, they rose up to demand a regime change". It is deplored that the Syrian deputy prime minister allowed himself to define these good fighters as "terrorists"., the newspaper, to whom we owe much of the credibility of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction and the viagra supplied by Gaddafi to his soldiers to rape his fellow countrymen, he goes on to describe how the unjustly maligned rebels governed the province entrusted to them by the Turks well: “They behaved as legitimate government and public administration authorities, facilitating, among other things, cross-border trade with Turkey and organizing aid supplies to the population”. Seeing how good they are, they worry about feeding the population. Other than Assad, which in principle starves him.
The Maxi Hoax of racism in Italy: here are the real data
Of Gianni Candotto
These days, thanks to a massive press campaign and a massive political campaign by the left, the idea has spread that there is a racism emergency in Italy and that racism in Italy is on the increase. But is it like this or is it just propaganda? To understand this it is necessary to analyze the data on crimes against foreigners in Italy, of racially motivated crimes and make a comparison with previous years and with abroad.
The first data is to see whether there has been an increase in crimes against foreigners overall (violence, insults, damage, vandalism and other crimes). Taking into account that foreigners have increased, it would be logical to expect a constant increase in crimes against foreigners, but the data says otherwise. Se 2016 they were there 202.000 foreign victims of crime, In the 2017 192.000 and in the first full six months of 2018 85.000 (which multiplied by two is 170.000. Even comparing the first six months of 2017 with the first six months of 2018 let's move on 90.000 a 85.000). Read More
