Governments and high finance: l'Italia non è sull'orlo del baratro
by


“Christ the King” has been supporting what you find in this article for some time. On this topic, conspiracy theories, apocalyptic and other catastrophisms are the result of ignorance, follia of mala fede. Even in our small and varied environment, where it often seems that whoever talks the loudest is right, even if it is not reasonable or documented. (n.d.r.)
Reporting of Federici Studies Center

The current situation of the Italian state commented by the Swiss economist Alfonso Tuor.
Italy is not on the brink of the abyss
This is not yet the beginning of a speculative attack against the grey-green Italian government guilty of challenging European rules on deficit and public debt. Rather, it seems to be the manifestation of financial markets supporting the threats from Brussels, to which are added the attacks from the international press and what should be the Italian opposition. All this appears aimed at ensuring that Rome reverses its spending plans for next year which should lead to a public deficit of 2,4% compared to GDP, incompatible with the objective of reducing a public debt that exceeds 130% of GDP. If it isn't the beginning of the spread war, however, it could be the prelude to it, with the rating agencies that depreciate Italy's creditworthiness and above all with the Eurogroup which initiates a procedure for infringement of the rules of the single currency.

Steve Bannon: "Popoli, rise up against the elites"
by

steve bannon atrejuOrator who enchants and exalts, he speaks very little Italian, but our Roman friend who speaks fluent English met him and opened a dialogue with him. Which hasn't left us without questions for the long term. In the short term, how to blame him? (n.d.r.)
Star-like welcome for Trump's former chief strategist at the Fratelli d'Italia party, about to join its sovereignist network ‘The Movement’
Of Paolo Molinari
The patriots, the party of Davos, the Judeo-Christian roots to defend, the tradition of Athens and Rome against the elites who produce zombies: It is a well-known but still effective repertoire that Donald Trump's former strategist brings to Atreju, the celebration of the Brothers of Italy.

To welcome him, under a tent named after Charlemagne (followed by the one that bears the name of the king of Sparta, Leonidas) around three hundred ecstatic militants, who jump up to applaud whenever the 'guru’ pronounce the word 'patriots'.

A broad term that includes Bannon himself (“I served my country in the Gulf and the Indian Ocean”) but also Putin, Farage, Salvini and Meloni, all those who oppose the Davos party, that of the economic elites who aim to create one in the West “zombie nation, like in China”. Read More

Roma: Bannon and Salvini in Atreju
by

Intense weekend for some of us at Christus Rex-Traditio.

Who in Poggibonsi (AND) for an important day at the castle of La Magione, who in Rome for a personal interview with Steve Bannon. Lots of irons in the fire…

Steve Bannon opens a furrow in the center-right again, in the aftermath of the Salvini-Berlusconi-Meloni summit at Palazzo Grazioli which seemed to have mended the front divided since the birth of the Conte Government, with alarm and sirens blaring for the yellow-green majority of which the League is part, Fi is opposition, Fdi has placed itself in the free zone of abstention.
Bannon is in Rome at the invitation of Giorgia Meloni who will see him starring with Matteo Salvini on the Tiber Island tomorrow (who only met him two weeks ago, il 7 September) of Atreus, the annual festival of young people of the Italian right organized by Fratelli di Italia. “Steve Bannon's presence certainly projects this event – said Giorgia Meloni as she opened Atreju- on the international stage. Surely – continues – his presence and therefore the theme of the adhesion of Fratelli d'Italia to “The Movement” and to this international network of identity and sovereignist movements is a theme that I consider particularly central in this edition”.

Salvini: «This government is scary. The strong powers will try to crush us"
by

Wall Street Journal: «Italy is a danger for the euro». Salvini: «The strong powers want to crush us»

According to the newspaper, the "danger" is represented by the "market shocks experienced last week on Italian debt and the new attacks against the European establishment by politicians in Rome"

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".

The Wall Street Journal article
L'articolo del quotidiano americano
The article from the American newspaper

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".

Becchi: «E invece io dico attenti a quei due che resteranno alleati a lungo»
by

THE OPINION
Luciano Tirinnanzi intervista Paolo Becchi su Panorama N. 34, 09/08/2018
«According to the authors, è in atto un passaggio dalla Seconda alla Terza Repubblica basato su un dato che – credo anch’io – non può essere contestato. The inability of the so-called "progressive" forces to serve the interests of workers and small and medium-sized businesses, in short, of the majority of Italians. […] I believe Becchi is right when in one of his articles on the "sovereignist revolution", collected now in this book, maintains that the opposition between "right" and "left" has now been overcome by that which in my opinion sees people and elites opposed. […] I want to give new impetus to popular sovereignty. “Italians first” means nothing more than this. They left us a country with little hope for the future and with few smiles. Rebuilding it won't be easy. But I promise you that I will give it my all".
It is an extract from the preface signed by the Minister of the Interior and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, which baptizes the political essay by Paolo Becchi and Giuseppe Palma, From the Second to the Third Republic, appena uscito per Paesi edizioni (304 pp., 12 euro). A book that, first, recounts the birth of the Lega-M5s government and frames it as a definitive overcoming of the political past. Ma è davvero così? We asked Professor Becchi, first ideologist of the Cinquestelle and now closer to the positions of the League.
«Il passaggio dalla Seconda alla Terza Repubblica è avvenuto senza coinvolgere la Costituzione, therefore it is partly an improper definition, but which nevertheless tells of the exhaustion of a political process that began in the 1990s. As I write in the book, il suo aspetto innovatore è nella sintesi tra sovranismo identitario, that of Salvini's League, and social sovereignty, proposed instead by Di Maio and the Cinquestelle. Non a caso l’uno si è preso il dicastero dell’Interno e l’altro quello del Lavoro. Terza Repubblica significa avere un governo che sta facendo nascere qualcosa di nuovo, without throwing the constitutional rules to the wind". Read More

Anti-fascism and eco-monsters: who was Riccardo Morandi, the designer of the Genoa bridge
by

Image results for richard morandiOf Nicola Mattei
Genova, 15 ago – What unites the Corviale snake in Rome, an attempt that started badly and ended worse to build a public housing "barracks" in Soviet style bridge over the Polcevera collapsed yesterday? A name, that of engineer Riccardo Morandi.
Born in Rome in 1902, he began his activity in the 1930s by experimenting - among the first in Italy - with the use of reinforced concrete and pre-stressed reinforced concrete. At the beginning of his career he designed churches and cinemas, and then specialized in the construction of bridges.
The skills in the field of reinforced concrete they are worth the call to the team that will design and build the Corviale, where Morandi will work alongside the architect Mario Fiorentino. The result is dramatic: almost a kilometre (e 11 floors in height) of a real city dormitory on the outskirts of the capital where the building boom of those years created eco-monsters destined to last and produce devastating effects. Applied social engineering will result in failure, managing to replicate for the worse all the distortions imported from the total and totalitarian planning that was experimented in the same period in the Soviet Union.
An ideological aspect, the latter, which cannot be overlooked. We are in the Italy of the conflict (also armed), in which remaining helpless in the face of political opposition is almost impossible. E Morandi had made his choice: “His family – writes Repubblica on the occasion of his death, er he 25 December of 1989 – they remember him as a man who always made a point of defending his independence from all powers, starting with the fascist one of which he was an opponent".

Of Adolfo Spezzaferro
For the first time, an Italian ship, after having rescued the immigrantsin mare, brought them back in Libya. It's about the Ace Twenty-Eight, a support vessel for an oil platform, That, in application of what has been established by the Italian government, coordinated with the Tripoli Coast Guard which is competent in those waters for the management of SAR search and rescue operations.
The boat, reports The Press, “it seems he followed the indications from the Coast Guard operations center which ordered the commander of Asso via radio from Rome 28 to coordinate with the Tripoli Coast Guard. Essentially the order was to bring those migrants back to Libya.".
“We have learned that one of the dinghies reported today by the Italian Coast Guard with 108 people on board in the Mediterranean were rescued by the ship Asso Ventotto, flying the Italian flag, which is heading towards Tripoli. We do not yet know whether this operation takes place on the recommendation of the Italian Coast Guard, but if that were the case it would be a very serious precedent, a truly collective rejection for which Italy and the ship's commander will answer before a court“, he said Nicola Fratoianni of Free and Equal, aboard the Open Arms. “International law – he adds – provides that people rescued at sea must be taken to a safe port and those in Libya, despite the mystification of reality by the Italian government, cannot be considered as such".

“Within a few months this government will end”, Silvio prophesied to his parliamentary remnants gathered in Montecitorio. Change the name of the party, it will now be called “Altra Italia”. “A new beginning awaits us!”, he reassured them. Where does he get so much optimism from?, with his 8 little percent left? The point is that Matteo Renzi said the same thing: “Salvini? It will not stand up to political and judicial pressure.", to his, in circumstances frighteningly similar to that of Berlusconi: he gathered his people in a Roman restaurant to revive them. «Enough whining. We have no reason to be discouraged. The government will fall soon. We have to be ready.".

Who defined what the Florentine Piddino tweeted as "a little prank" from Renzi: «A sentence – he wrote – says that the League must repay 49 millions to Italians. Salvini said that he, minister and leader of the League, He doesn't intend to do it. His, Minister of Legality, announces that he will not follow the sentence requiring him to return the money. We are at the most brazen illegality. And he doesn't answer. Salvini announces, but he doesn't answer". Read More

GREAT CONFUSION UNDER TRUMP. SO THE SITUATION BENEFITS US.
