To win the game in Libya, Italy must ally itself with Putin
In the crisis in Libya, Italy has a rival, the France, and an ally, the United States. But there is another actor, fundamental and until now on the sidelines, which can be decisive in resolving the conflict: the Russia.
Another base for the Mediterranean
Although the world's attention on Russian operations is naturally focused on Syria, Libya represents a fundamental point in the Kremlin's Mediterranean agenda. For Moscow, il Mediterranean represents the natural outlet towards the Atlantic. Controlling or in any case guaranteeing the presence in the Mediterranean therefore translates into the ability to emerge from the shell of the Black Sea and obtain positions in the intermediate sea between Russian ports and the ocean.
The Mediterranean is needed. And therefore Libya is needed, given that the conflict that has been shaking the North African country for years mainly concerns the coasts, where there are ports, arsenal, possible military bases e, inevitably, the terminals of gas and oil fields.

Putin: It is my duty to attack the “New World Order” for degrading “family values”
Of Alejandro Sanchez
Putin: It is my duty to attack the New World Order for degrading "family values".
De Sade's sadistic society and the foundations of anti-natural-moral-ethical-logical thought
Putin: As head of state my duty to maintain traditional values and traditional family values.This is because? Because same-sex marriages will not produce any children. God has decided and we must worry about the birth rate in our country. We must strengthen families. This does not mean that there is persecution against anyone.".
Putin has dealt a fundamental blow to the ideology underlying the New World Order with respect to family values. This simply can't be better.
This is equally true for Sigmund Freud, che by Wilhelm Reich, per Aleister Crowley, per Timothy Leary, per Betty Friedan, by Gloria Steinem, per Eve Ensler, for Rosa Luxemburg, for Andrea Bronfman and other theorists who saw family values as a threat to civilization. Note that Putin's proposal consists of two parts: 1) No one has the right to attack family values and 2) no one has the right to persecute people because of their sexual orientation.
This is actually a conception of life and is perfectly congruent with practical reason. The sad fact is that there were a plethora of theorists at the dawn of the 20th century who hated practical reason. They did not want to subordinate their desire or appetite to the moral order, so they created a series of concrete rationalizations to justify their conduct. Read More
Putin: “Christianity is the root of Russian identity”
Too bad that it is Orthodoxy or the schismatic and heretical Orthodox Church. However, the political meaning of the statement is important because Putin links the root of Russian identity to Christianity. They did it in Italy too…obviously not with the councilors…(n.d.r.)
Reporting of G.B.
The president of Russia indicates "Christianization" as the country's identity matrix, of its strength and its historical protagonism. Criticism and alarm from circles that in the past enthusiastically supported the "cultural battles" to reaffirm the roots of the West
Of Gianni Valente per The Press
Last Sunday, in the churches of Russia, of Ukraine and other countries once included in the Russian Empire, many Christians celebrated the feast for 1130 years since the baptism of Prince Vladimir the Great in the waters of the Dnieper River, also renewing their baptismal promises. Russian President Vladimir Putin also took advantage of the anniversary of that historic event - celebrated as the beginning of the conversion to Christianity of the Eastern Slavs - to forcefully repeat that l he "Christianization" of the Grand Prince of ancient Kievan Rus' and his subjects also represents the founding act of "Russian statehood", and the perennial root that nourishes the identity of the Russian people and its historical mission in the world.
Putin – who of the ancient monarch baptized in Kherson in 988 also bears the name - reaffirmed the connection in his visceral opinion between Christianity and Russian identity while speaking at the ceremony held on Sunday in Moscow, in the presence of Patriarch Kirill, at the monument dedicated to Prince Vladimir. The presidential speech, calibrated in every word, he proposed "Christianization" at the highest levels as Russia's identity matrix, of its strength and its historical protagonism. Read More
Fontana: «I apply the law to the children of gay couples, and to women I say don't have abortions"
In an interview with La Verità, the Minister for Family and Disabilities also takes sides against the rented womb. And he says he respects Orbàn and Putin: «An earthquake at the Europeans». The Magistry replica: «Children are all equal and have the same rights»
«It is not possible to recognize the children of same-sex couples born abroad thanks to practices prohibited in Italy such as surrogacy. The ban must be enforced, avoiding that the use of these practices abroad translates into circumventing the ban in Italy". This is how Lorenzo Fontana expressed himself in an interview given to the newspaper La Verità founded and directed by Maurizio Belpietro. The Minister for Family and Disabilities who, since the beginning of his mandate he has been criticized for the positions expressed on homosexuality (when he said "homosexual families do not exist"), traditional family (when he spoke out against the recognition of the children of gay families") and other topics, he covered many topics, like abortion: to encourage the birth rate it is necessary to intervene by "correcting the distortions of the tax system. It is not fair that families who have children are treated for tax purposes the same as families who have none. This effectively penalizes single-income families and leads to children being perceived as a burden, an expense".

Foa, the monster of the week
Of Marcello Veneziani
But don't be ashamed to accuse the government in office and Salvini in particular, Of divide up the appointments as you have practiced all your life? Don't be ashamed – you leftists, you left-wing intellectual clergy, you left-wing newspapers and news, you seasoned Rai trade unionists and you more hypocritical and pompous right-thinking crypto-leftists – to cry scandal and be indignant just because the Grillini and the Northern League members, in modo naive, they follow the ways of subdivision that you have been practicing with servile professionalism for decades? On the contrary, in Renzi's time we even had to regret the usual division, because he took everything, on Rai and beyond. This time the rock of the scandal was Marcello Foa, came from the Giornale di Montanelli and then remained at the Giornale di Feltri until he moved to the Canton of Ticino to teach communication science and manage a Ticino publishing group. Never been involved in politics, no blemish on his criminal record or reputation, no suspicious connection. Nothing scandalous. But for the valiant Italian Information Collective plus Pd, starting with the Corazzata Repubblika, Foa says he is a student of Montanelli (a boaster, so), teaches manipulation of news i.e. fake news and not communication science, he is even a guest on Russia Today and therefore is a hired servant in Putin's service, he even retweeted something by one Francesca Totolo, “patriot financed by Casa Pound” (which notoriously has billions, other than poor Renzi with his little paper plane, at our expense, which cost a few hundred million).

The secrets of Helsinki

Like an orange hurricane, President Trump has overwhelmed the Old World. Visits by American presidents to Europe are usually a cosmetic operation. Not this time. Since the time of the Mongol invasion, not many visitors from outside have shaken Europe like he has. The president of the United States has finally freed himself from the cage built by his political opponents and started saying things that his voters wanted to hear.
His bold statements were, however, quickly undermined and disavowed by his minister advisors, creating the feeling that Trump speaks only for himself. Him too, in the end, he repudiated his own claims, saying he was misunderstood.
Trump increasingly seems like the protagonist of “The Prince and the Pauper”, the poor boy who happens to become king – and starts behaving unregally, showing mercy and caring for people. His own court ignores his commands. Trump says what people want to hear, but his administration sticks to its line.
During the first part of his journey he played the part of the rebel, in a world of weak men and formidable women. The West is in fact governed by powerful aunts and older sisters. Aunt Angela in Germany, Aunt Teresa in England, Aunt Brigitte in France. All that was missing was Aunt Hillary to complete the puzzle and establish complete dominion over her subjugated nephews.

Sovereignists at the crossroads between "light" Europe and the Trump option
of the Prof. Paolo Becchi on Libero, 20/07/2018
Juncker's image, President of the European Commission, visibly altered and staggering during the last NATO summit, it represents what Europe currently is better than anything else. The Franco-German axis, of which Juncker is the expression, he's in a coma, non-ethyl, but still in a coma.
The Visegrad Group of countries interacts with the United States,and the United States has openly declared support for Brexit, war on the EU and support for all those countries like ours that have taken on a Eurosceptic orientation with the new government. Let's say it clearly: Trump's policy is not at all "isolationist", as it seemed from the election campaign. American foreign policy is completely back under neocon control. Trump now clearly aims to disaggregate Europe, because it fears not only the economic but also the political growth of Germany. Perhaps it is no coincidence that Bannon is in Italy so often in recent months, on Trump's "exploratory mandate" or in his own interest, it doesn't matter. Trump is revealing the true face of his current administration: to all intents and purposes it continues to exercise that imperial role that the United States has had since the post-war period and which after the fall of the Berlin Wall, for a few years, they practiced on their own. Right, now there is Putin's Russia again, and also China, that move on the international stage, but Europe?
Ecco, Trump's strategy is evident: aim for the disintegration of Europe by helping all those populist movements, sovereignists who are succeeding in Europe. Here a big problem arises for Europe and for our country in Europe. Italy is faced with two possible paths: deal a heavy blow to the now weakened Franco-German hegemony, taking advantage of Trump's support, but in this case running the risk of becoming the "Atlantic bridgehead" on the old continent. Free from European constraints, but subjects once again of the American Empire? Read More
Limbaugh: Dems using Russia meddling ‘to eventually get rid of elections’
Report Breitbart
by Pam Key
Thursday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh argued the hype over Russian meddling in U.S. elections was an effort by the Democratic Party “to eventually get rid of elections.”
Limbaugh said, “You realize as far as many Americans are concerned, every election going forward is not to be tainted depending on who wins and loses it. If the if the Democrats win, everything will be fine, you’ll never hear a word about tainted elections. In fact, the next time Democrats win the House or the Senate, pray tell the White House you’re probably going to hear one of two things: ‘Yeah the Russians were still trying to help the Republicans, we found out about it this time and we were able to overcome it and the Russians are going to be trying every election but we Democrats have found a way to beat them back. Vote for us, we can control the Russians, we’re not in bed with them,’ Blah blah. The other possibility is that if the Democrats won the election, that’s going to be, yet there won’t be any talk of the Russians meddling or colluding whatsoever. We won’t even hear a word about it. But when they lose, when they lose it, can’t be because they’ve been rejected by voters. There has to be some nefarious reason. There has to be tampering , there has to be meddling, there has to be collusion. In the process they have done a great job of making so many millions of Americans question the integrity of elections now.”
After using climate change as an example of Democrats group think, Limbaugh continued, “They believe all this garbage, so look how easy it’s going to be, probably on the way, to making them think that every election that matters is somehow tainted. They actually got started with this in 2000, Florida recount, Bush versus Gore. I believe this all has a very long-term purpose and that is to eventually get rid of elections. You can snicker and you can smirk and you can say ‘Come on Rush, you say things like that, it makes it really hard for us to support you,’ Well I am, maybe so, but I’m telling you, don’t laugh and be very careful in criticizing me because I am here to tell you that if they could, they would. Elections are the only thing standing in the way to what is considered to be a birthright entitlement and that’s power.”
He added, “You can’t deny, you cannot deny they’re working overtime to make everybody think the presidential race in 2016 is invalid. That it’s illegitimate. That the Russians were involved in some of the—Trump really didn’t win. That’s what all of this has been about.”

The European allies of the USA and NATO are "terrified" by the end of the old certainties
Of Pepe Escobar

Trump is right – NATO is obsolete, and if Europe wants to fight imaginary enemies, he should pay his own expenses
Terrified of Trump, Eurocrats in Brussels have conveyed their fears to Asia Times in recent days about the end of NATO, the end of the World Trade Organization, even the end of the EU.
The level of hysteria has reached its peak. After the NATO summit in Brussels, the final decline of the West was declared by an agreement made as President Trump prepared to meet President Putin in Helsinki.
It was Trump himself who decreed that he wanted to talk to Putin behind closed doors, face to face, without helpers e, in theory, spontaneously, after the preparatory meeting between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was canceled. The summit takes place in the early 19th century presidential palace in Helsinki, former residence of the Russian emperors.
As a preamble for Helsinki, Trump's spectacular NATO blitzkrieg was a stage show for the ages; the various assorted “leaders” in Brussels simply didn't know what was hitting them. Trump didn't even bother to arrive in time for the morning sessions regarding the possible membership of Ukraine and Georgia. Diplomats confirmed to Asia Times that, after Trump's stinging "punch or something" scolding, Ukraine and Georgia were asked to leave the room because what would be discussed was strictly an internal NATO issue.
