The State is the opposite of a family
by

Of Ilaria Bifarini (Bocconiana redeemed)
The State is the opposite of a family
Repeated exposure to an image or content causes the individual to modify their perception of reality and internalize the message conveyed. It's what psychologists call the "priming effect", and which advertisers and communication experts know very well. The more a message is repeated and emphasized, perhaps through the shape of the commercial, the more familiar it will be.
Thus it can happen that a concept lacks truthfulness, but repeated insistently and convincingly, acquires the rank of truth. This is what happened with the fake economic news of the moment, as absurd as it is apparently effective: the state budget would be like that of a family. Journalists repeat it in unison, television hosts, economists and indifferent people. So do ordinary people, fast in economics and above all in good faith, he internalized a completely misleading thought.
According to this logic, when a country has public debt - therefore normal in a modern economy- she should behave like a good and careful housewife: tighten belts and cut family expenses. As, how a temperate woman will save on food, on clothing and, in conditions of extreme ratio, to health care for themselves, for your spouse and children, so the State should follow his virtuous example.

Catholics between Europeanism and Populism | FIFTH COLUMN

Media versus people

Cara Lilli Gruber, but how can Italians trust you if you write about itSet a comment with a title like that: “All populists lie. They are dangerous and opportunistic"? And the title faithfully responds to the development. He knows he's offending three-quarters of his viewers?
Like the 60% I feel like one of the Italians right now, with all the critical reservations that I do not hide, more on the side of the populists than their enemies. And I'm not just offended by his definition, how hurt by Italian, as a journalist and free thinker. I would never use a statement like that even for the worst enemies; I would distinguish, I wouldn't feel in possession of the truth. I don't bet on the success of this government, I say it every day. And it surprises me that the one attacking in that way is the one who was generous with the Grillini and their sponsors, to the point that often – even the other day with the embarrassing, rambling, Dibba's rant – gave the impression of being Grilli Uber. I don't hold the inconsistency against you, they are his business, I know that grillini are fine for her if they hang to the left, if instead they ally themselves with Salvini they become bad. There are people who still divide humanity into fascists and anti-fascists, and reality is lost, the present, the world, 70 years of history, communism even.
Through her, actually, I take it out on the media, the Press and TV which are offering a disgusting and desolating spectacle: the Italians on one side and them united on the side of the establishment. I wouldn't have expected the opposite but at least a variety of positions and the ability to distinguish and analyze; someone equidistant, someone else who understands people's reasons, someone who recognizes pieces of truth in the opponent. No, Nothing, a Chinese army, monolithic, monotonous. Like in war. Read More

Catholics between Europeanism and Populism

And then, Which side are the Catholics on??
by

REVIEW OF THE BOOK BY MATTEO CASTAGNA
Of Mattia Rossi per The newspaper OFF of The newspaper
It caused a sensation, some time ago, the cover of Christian family against the Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini («Go behind Salvini», it stood out on the cover under the photograph of the Northern League leader). Shortly after, but, the newspaper poll Libero: 85% of Catholics would be in favor of the Minister's policies
And then, which side are they on? (or they have to stay) the Catholics? With what, commonly, is defined as populism or with the pro-European globalism? And southern fascism? Where to position yourself for those who profess to be Catholic? But then, as Catholics? Those of the modernist official hierarchies or those "integral" and faithful to the Catholic Magisterium of all time?
He tries to give the answers Matthew Castagna, journalist and militant Catholic (responsible for the Sedevacantist-oriented “Christus Rex – Traditio” club) in his Catholics between Europeanism and populism. The challenge to nihilism (Solfanelli, pages. 248, euro 17) recently in the bookstore.
Ascertained immediately, from Castagna, that «a “progressive Catholicism” cannot exist» and that «the only possible Catholicism is the “integral” one», There are numerous doctrines that the Veronese journalist reviews (Savonarolism, counter-reformism, the second Francoism, the neo-Lutheranism of Nazism) and then move to the Catholic side in the chapter Integral Catholics, Jesuits, modernist, clerical-fascists.
Catholic integralism, explains Castagna, «perceives in white-Jesuit internationalism, Christian Democrat-Modernist is the political and theological instrument through which the greatest attack is manifesting itself, never conceived, to Christianity". It follows that, according to the author, «the fundamental danger of the Jesuit-modernist union would be represented, per mons. Benign, from the end of the social disintegration of the Western Constantinian and Gregorian Tradition; from absolute and dogmatic anti-fascism; from left-wing Christian Democrats; from fanatical and relativistic technical-pragmatic and politicistic anthropocentrism; from the rejection of the XXIV theses of Thomism; all of this, if achieved with the victory of international anti-fascism, it would have led to neo-modernist nihilism and secularization”.

Orbán all'Europarlamento: "Non accettiamo minacce e ricatti. We will not be a homeland of immigration"

The Hungarian Prime Minister speaks before the plenary in Strasbourg “to defend Hungary which has been a member of the European family for a thousand years”

Orbán all'Europarlamento: "Non accettiamo minacce e ricatti. We will not be a homeland of immigration"
(afp)

STRASBOURG – After partially anticipating his speech with several posts on his Facebook profile, the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán spoke today in Strasbourg at the European Parliament hearing on Sargentini report in which it will be decided whether or not to sanction Budapest on violation of the rule of law. “You have already formed an idea about this relationship, and my intervention will not change your opinion, but I came anyway. You will not condemn a government, but Hungary which has been a member of the European family for a thousand years. I'm here to defend my homeland”, said the Hungarian prime minister, who defended his actions above all due to the broad consensus that his government receives at home. And really comforted by internal consensus, Orban had no problem taking sides directly against the European institutions: “Hungary will be condemned because it has decided that it will not be a homeland for immigration. But we will not accept threats and blackmail from pro-immigration forces: we will defend our borders, we will stop illegal immigration against you too, if necessary”. The leader of Fidesz, who is part of the European People's Party family in Brussels, he stated how the measures on immigration were taken on the basis of the will expressed by the Hungarian people: “We are the ones who defend our borders and only we can decide who to live with. We stopped hundreds and thousands of illegal migrants and defended Hungary and Europe. The Hungarians have decided that our homeland will not be a country of immigration.". Read More

The future of Sovereignty

The future of Sovereignty
Source: Heretically
The entire political-ideological movement linked to the sovereignist/populist alignment moves in a context and in a series of precise directions. Continuing along this path new questions arise, on crucial choices which can be responded to either with the dry alternative or with the affirmation of a plural ideological-political wave which despite having a very distinct central axis, contains “different” if not even “contrasting” options. As for the context,starting from the most obvious aspect, we must take note of the definitive drying up of the left political area but more precisely of Marxism. The death of Domenico Losurdo embodies a symbolic end of all "intellectually honest" Marxism with which it is still worth dealing and with which one can also find points of convergence for very concrete political battles. The same can be said for certain political subjectivities, representatives of that area. However, we must realize that Marxism is completely finished, and not for reasons of who knows what historical significance. It has reached its lowest point, the “0” of its descending parable.

L'Europa fra Soros e Bannon

Europe between Soros and Bannon
Source: Comedonchisciotte
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

Undersecretary Giancarlo Giorgetti displaces the CL Meeting
by

âPopulisti seven voiâ: Undersecretary Giorgetti displaces the MeetingReporting of F.F.
Cl did not invite Salvini but his right-hand man took the stage, forcing Vittadini into a long reply

The title of the event “it's wrong”, Giancarlo Giorgetti began. “Today the real enemy of democracy and politics is globalist ideology”. Towards the government “you have a perplexed attitude”. Shots at Berlusconi and the Democratic Party. “The League is rewarded because it has a leader who managed to create a direct connection with the people”.

He wasn't invited Matteo Salvini al Meeting. The leader of the League and Minister of the Interior does not like the CDO led by Vittadini and his battles sound out of tune in the ears of the leaders of the Cielle event, certainly not benevolent towards the yellow-green government. The big figure of the League invited to the fair's halls today was the undersecretary of the Prime Minister's Office, Giancarlo Giorgetti, whose intervention had been placed in the "enclosure" ofintergroup for subsidiarity. But Giorgetti, albeit in calm tones, he immediately came out of the enclosure and sang and played them to Vittadini too. Expressing all the impact force of the "Salvini thought".
“I would start from the title of the Meeting”, he began. “The forces that move history are the same that make man happy”. Sly smile. “I want to make a provocation. In my opinion the title is wrong“. A few seconds of silence. “There is a quote by Dostoevsky that I really like: if you make people choose between freedom and happiness, people will always choose happiness. If you allow me, the title should be 'the forces that move history are the same that make man free and happy‘. Otherwise to those who accuse me of populism (he continued, turning his gaze towards Vittadini) I say be careful, Why if we want to make the people happy the quickest way is that of populism“.

Sovereignty cannot be negotiated
by

Of Adriano Segatori
Sovereignty cannot be negotiated
Source: Italicum
Sovereignty – this one with a capital S – is first and foremost a mental conception, a psychological attitude, a true spiritual style.
A characteristic of man is to talk about what no longer exists, and health is the most striking example of this. When people meet, they don't report good blood pressure data or the regularity of their bowel movements, but they list flaws, various annoyances and disorders. The exact same mechanism is in place for other issues that concern personal and collective life.
There has been rant about family and education ever since the family was decimated by individualistic selfishness and the exercise of the most disparate vicious rights, and education has been excommunicated by the exaltation of spontaneity and uncontrolled independence. Dozens of authorizations are required and school photos are prohibited in the name of privacy since everyone posts the most obscene revelations of their physical and mental life on social networks. We talk too much about freedom and democracy when houses are transformed into forts and the life of citizens is forced between cameras, grates and armored doors.
In short, the real void is always filled by an imaginary surrogate: it is the law of nature. Read More

And they won't stay.

And they won't stay.
Source: byebyeunclesam
A lot happens in this strange country. Maybe it will be the heat that makes everyone a little nervous, but we are all focused, with anger, anguish, curiosity and cheering. And the point is not the fear of a return to fascism (a colossal nonsense) and to racism and other concepts typical of heat and the absence of a thought. They're not even the red shirts (now the colors are starting to run out...), they are already bored. They are not the fasters. The bourgeois from the historic center, the “radical chic with the Rolex and the penthouse in New York”. The 200th "meeting" of the PD in Ergife. Yet another scoop on Raggi: “He who wounds from the hole dies from the hole: Virginia Raggi stumbles and risks falling". The end of the era of Emilio Fede and meteorites, because the season of quality TV is finally starting and therefore, plot twist: Matteo Renzi on TV. No. The problem of Italy's problems, It's a fact that a world is now out of the picture. A world that, in order not to dissolve completely, relies on discord and thus separate the yellows from the greens. Become, in recent months, the lightning rod and the main culprits of all international inhumanity. Read More

Putin interviewed by Austrian TV ORF

Source: Aurora site
In view of the visit to Austria, the President of Russia answered the questions of the presenter of the Austrian ORF, Armin Wolf.
Armin Wolf, presentatore dell’Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF): Mr President, his first visit abroad takes you to Austria. This is a sort of incentive for a benevolent policy towards Russia on the part of the Austrian government, who lashes out against new EU sanctions and has not expelled Russian diplomats over the "Skripal case"?
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: I don't think that a European state as respected as Austria needs incentives. We have long had good and deep relations with Austria. Austria is our traditional and reliable partner in Europe. Despite all the complications over the years, our dialogue in the field of politics, of security and the economy has never been interrupted. Our trade with Austria has grown by 40,5% last year. We respect Austria's position and its neutral status. Russia, Obviously, is one of the guarantors of this status, having taken part in the drafting of the State Treaty. We collaborate with the Republic of Austria in various sectors: in the economy, like I said, in politics and security. In the economy, we collaborate in various sectors. Not just energy, although I would like to say more about it later, but also in aircraft construction, aviation safety and hydroelectric engineering. More and more Austrian capital is invested in Russia. We consider it a sign of confidence in the economic policy pursued by the Government of the Russian Federation. We take on important projects. Thanks to our cooperation, Baumgarten, and therefore Austria, it has become the largest gas hub in Europe. We have many common and similar interests, so we were happy to welcome Federal Chancellor Kurtz to Russia, in February. It is from these considerations that my visit to Austria is being prepared and I hope it will take place soon. Read More
