Sensational collapse of Italians' trust in European institutions
by

Reporting of BastaBugie editorial team

Italians are opening their eyes to the big scam: trust was at 70% In the 2011, today it collapsed at 34%
Of Antonio Socci

(AUTOMATIC READING)
The recent Ipsos survey on Italians' opinion on the European Union went almost unnoticed. Yet it is a hot topic and the popular response is decidedly embarrassing for mainstream living rooms and academies, who have a monopoly on public discourse.
In essence, Italians' trust in European institutions has plummeted. In the 2008 it was around the 75 percent and again in 2011 reached the 70 percent: today it collapsed at 34 percent.
Italy was once the most pro-European country on the continent and today it is one of the most eurosceptic. Never had trust in European institutions been so low.
We were pro-Europeans because they had made us believe that it was all a fabulous dream towards cosmopolitan happiness, like a gigantic edition of “Games without borders”, a mass Erasmus with the background of”Ode to joy” by Beethoven.
And they made us believe that the Euro was “the land flowing with milk and honey”. Rivers of rhetoric, of false promises and illusions.
Then the awakening. The precipice that goes from 75 percent per 34 per cent resembles the sudden awakening from a dream. It is the bitter disappointment of those who open their eyes to something (or someone), after having greatly deluded himself. Photograph the shock of those who realize they have been deceived. And he feels betrayed.
It is the state of mind of those who thought they had embarked on an earthly paradise and instead found themselves in hell. A utopia that becomes dystopia (or even cacotopia).
HOW ITALIANS HAVE OPENED THEIR EYES?
The reasons are many: the discovery of European institutions even worse than the Italian ones in terms of bureaucratic obtuseness and costs; the arrogance with which Italy is treated (also due to the subordination of past Italian governments); the feeling that there is someone who dominates like Germany, while Italy suffers the decisions of others.
But above all, dal 2011, two enormous phenomena have opened the eyes of Italians. Primo: the migratory invasion that Italy had to endure, alone, paying very high economic and human costs. With Europe that – in words – he gave us lessons in do-goodism and then closed the borders.
Second: the consequences – devastating for Italy – of the economic crisis of 2007-2008 which have dissolved all the fake promises about the euro and the European Union which – to listen to the propagandists – they would have protected our country from storms.
In recent years it has been discovered that in Italy – numbers in hand (but also from empirical experience) – we are much worse off than we were 25 years ago, before the Euro (as income, living conditions and how wealth is produced).
And everyone knows that for the first time our children – victims of massive youth unemployment and precariousness that ruins their future – they will be worse off than us. For the first time in our history.
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS DECIDE
Furthermore, we realized that we are no longer masters of our destiny, that we are governed by foreign and unknown nomenklatures that none of us have ever elected. That foreign governments decide on us and impose their will in Brussels.
So we have the feeling of having been expropriated of our democratic sovereignty without anyone ever asking us for permission.
It's a right feeling. It corresponds to what happened from Maastricht onwards. Expropriated of sovereignty without our knowledge. After all, this is the real strategy pursued by the architects of the European Union.
It was expressed by Jean Monnet, who is one of the demiurges of the European institutions, In the 1952. He said: “European nations should be guided towards a superstate without their populations realizing what is happening. This objective can be achieved through subsequent steps, each of which is hidden under a purely economic guise and purpose”.
Hearing these words, Charles de Gaulle replied that Monnet wanted to create “supranational monstrosities”.
But over time it is precisely Monnet's technocratic plan that has prevailed. And here we are today “supranational monstrosity” to which the peoples of Europe are beginning to open their eyes. And to demonstrate their intolerance.

On immigration, Italian populists are the future. Merkel is the past

On immigration, Italian populists are the future. Merkel is the past
Source: Paolo Becchi

One hundred and ten years ago the British author Israel Zangwill completed the play The Melting Pot. First performed in Washington in October 1908 — where it was enthusiastically applauded by President Theodore Roosevelt — it celebrates the United States as a gigantic melting pot that fuses together “Celts and Latins, Slavs and Teutons, Greeks and Syrians — blacks and yellows — Jews and Gentiles” to form a single people.

"Yes", declares the hero of the play (like Zangwill's father, a Jewish immigrant from Russia), “Est e Ovest, and North and South, the palm and the pine, the pole and the equator, the crescent and the cross... Here everyone will unite to build the Republic of Man and the Kingdom of God".

It is rather difficult to imagine a similar play written about the European Union at the beginning of the 21st century. Or rather, one could easily imagine a very different one. In it, the influx of migrants from all over the world would have exactly the opposite effect to that imagined by Zangwill. Far from leading to fusion, the European migration crisis is leading to fission. The play could be called The Meltdown Pot.

I believe more and more that the issue of migration will be seen by future historians as the fatal solvent of the European Union. In their considerations, Brexit will simply appear as the first symptom of the crisis. Their thesis will be that a massive Migration of peoples [migration of peoples, NdT] overwhelmed the project of European integration, revealing the weakness of the European Union as an institution and bringing voters back to national politics to find solutions.

Seeing what a man Macron is? Orgoglio e dignità dell'Italia, finally

Seeing what a man Macron is? Pride and dignity of Italy, finally
Source: Marcello Foa
But if the spokesperson for En marche!, the party of French President Macron, judges Italy “vomitevole”, because it shouldn't be said? Because some of the mainstream press feels the need to tone it down, maybe even hide, as if the reputation of France had to be defended? Today that title appeared on some sites, then disappeared, then reappeared; others have drowned the epithet inside the piece.
All this, journalistically, it doesn't make sense. The insult was there, sure enough there was, very heavy. And although Macron himself then partially corrected the aim, judging the Italian government “cynical and irresponsible”, the case is serious.
The Italian press must not be embarrassed, who if anything should be indignant. It should be the French because it is not the Italian position that is unsustainable but theirs. Of that France that closed the ports even a year ago; which brutally rejects immigrants at the Ventimiglia border, without compassion even for children and pregnant women, and even allows himself to trespass with his gendarmes into Italian territory.
The hypocrisy of Macron and his party is flagrant. And their macroscopic double standard gives the character of this European Union, never supportive in times of need and which sees Italy as a country to be exploited, to humiliate, to buy.
That country, but, thanks to Salvini and the Lega government- 5 position, now he says no and raises his head with pride. He demands respect, does not accept lessons from Paris. And he won't go back. Read More

Silence of the Italian media on Tiananmen: the Chinese regime won
by

Reporting of BastaBugie editorial team

Courier, Repubblica and the others forgot about the 29th anniversary of the massacre in China, but they told us about the anti-robot strike in Las Vegas, Nobel Prize winner Malala's defense of university hangovers, a new drink from Japan, ecc.
Of Leone Grotti

(AUTOMATIC READING)

More than 115 thousand people in the square to remember one of the largest massacres in contemporary history ordered by a totalitarian regime against its own people. It happened in Hong Kong, where myriads of young and old for the 29th consecutive year lit a candle in Victoria Park to "resist authoritarianism" and condemn the Chinese Communist Party, that the 4 June 1989 ordered the People's Liberation Army to massacre students peacefully gathered in Tiananmen Square in Beijing.
NOT EVEN A LINE IN THE ITALIAN NEWSPAPERS
It's an event. In a world where young people are accused of being careless, concerned only with the moment and lacking historical memory, tens of thousands courageously take to the streets (Hong Kong is certainly not free from the influence of mainland China) to denounce one of the greatest horrors in history, fruit of one of the bloodiest regimes in history, e… no one talks about it. Leafing through the pages of the main Italian newspapers, one discovers that today no one has dedicated even a single line to the event.
Worse. Corriere della Sera, Republic, Press, Sheet, Newspaper, Libero, Sole 24 Ore, Daily Fact: no one found space – not even a short one, not even a box, not even a photo, not even a line – to mark the 29th anniversary of the massacre. In the editions of 3-4-5 June the main Italian newspapers dedicated articles to the most disparate topics: the anti-robot strike in Las Vegas, Nobel Prize winner Malala's defense of university hangovers, the criticism of Blair's former spokesperson for not doing housework, the success of the Ogiek tribes of Kenya and that of the new alcoholic drink from Japan. But not a word about the tragic events in Tiananmen Square. Read More
