Straight Column

Franco Bassanini, Legion of Honor, with the former mayor. Now, Bassanini negotiates a pact with France. On behalf of the expired government.

Of Maurizio Blondet
Il 13 last June Guy Verhofstadt, former Belgian Prime Minister, MEP, with its hands in all the pro-European and oligarchic affairs, he used a “heavy” term – and usually forbidden in civil political controversy – to accuse the democratic opposition of the Euro-oligarchy: "Fifth column".
“Government leaders like Orbàn, Kaczynski and Salvini have only one goal, destroy Europe and kill our liberal democracy, and they are doing it together with what I call Putin's cheerleaders: Nigel Farage, Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders”.
“There is a circle of evil around our continent, which includes Putin, Erdogan and, if things get bad, Trump too” – adding – “Politicians like Le Pen, Wilders e Farage, they are only capable of pocketing the Kremlin's money and to receive help from Moscow's secret services. I am Putin's fifth column.".

In the vortex of self-destruction of the West-World

Incapable of leadership, always politically late.

Of Maurizio Blondet
“Russia must be at the G7, like it or not, we must have Russia at the negotiating table”, Trump vibrates in a certainly not improvised exit, and the anti-government TV lounges discover that Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, the one they portrayed as a foolish king, a leader of an unrealistic populist alliance, unprepared and stupid, can say at his first summit in Canada, not at all intimidated: “I agree with President Donald Trump, Russia should return to the G8. In everyone's interest".
It's not like there's any alliance here. What we are witnessing is the disintegration of the Western order, which involves unexpected recompositions, perhaps temporary. The English thinking powerhouses, in the turmoil of a Brexit that Merkel-Juncker want to be increasingly hostile and punitive, he took the opportunity to support the well-founded Italian discontent, explaining in various articles how Germany is the only one that has gained from the euro, and the one that has the most to lose by making the EU "an enemy rather than an ally" of Italy. And in other articles, they explained the Deutsche Bank crisis in depth. And an article from the Financial Times has quite a bit of power in the world of international finance. Read More

Serums in Trento: «L'Italia deve sapere se Salvini è a busta paga di Putin. Trump? I hope it doesn't last long."

The day after the installation of the new government, the speculator George Soros arrives in Italy and shoots down the new government: he is worried about the proximity to Russia. So it means we can rest assured? (n.d.r.)

Reporting of Andrea Giovanazzi
«There is a close relationship between Matteo Salvini and Putin. I don't know if Putin actually finances his party, this is a question that Italian public opinion has the right to investigate further, Italian public opinion has the right to know if Salvini is on Putin's paycheck". The financier George Soros said this as a guest of the Trento Economics Festival, to those in the audience who asked if they were worried about Russia's influence on the new Italian government. «I am very worried about the new government's closeness to Russia. Those in the new government have said they are in favor of lifting sanctions against Russia. Putin seeks to dominate Europe, he doesn't want to destroy it but exploit it because it has the productive capacity, while the Russian economy under Putin can only exploit raw materials and people. It's a strong threat and I'm really worried.".

Holy Land – New illegal settlements

Reporting of Federici Studies Center

New settlements in the West Bank and recognition of the Golan: Israel defies international law
Israel to revive extensive Jewish construction projects in West Bank. The super hawk Avigdor Lieberman anticipated it on Twitter, Defense Minister of the government chaired by Netanyahu. “Next week – he wrote – we will submit to the Superior Council for planning in Judea-Samaria (West Bank) plans for the construction of 2.500 accommodation, 1.400 of which to be implemented immediately". “We will extend construction throughout Judea-Samaria – he added – from North to South, in small and large settlements”.
Israel militarily occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in the war 1967 and has since built dozens of settlements in a territory that according to international law belongs to what should become the State of Palestine, an area that the UN recognizes as "occupied territories".
Since the beginning of the Trump administration, Israel has stepped up, according to reports presented by some NGOs, the construction of new homes and new settlements in the occupied territories, a sign that the presence of a friendly government like the American one has created the conditions for Israel from an international point of view to implement a new phase of building expansion.

L'aiutino americano al governo populista

Image results for Steve Bannon and SalviniThe famous "markets" voted pro

Tuesday evening, Wednesday and yesterday too. The large American funds have started massive purchases of Italian government bonds. The "buy" was initially triggered by the algorithms that read the breach of the downward threshold and activated the automatic operations.
Bridgewater, Aqr, Glg e Ahl I'm in the front row, but to swell the group, after the outposts, Of Citi e Jp Morgan, they started yesterday Blackrock, Pimco, Prudential e Dodge & Cox.
All funds ready to enter phase two of purchases: wait for volatility to stabilize downwards to plunder titles at discounted prices.
Who they work for, especially investment banks such as Citi and JP Morgan, it is not known.
They are in fact primary dealers who act on behalf of third parties.
American pension funds are certainly interested in our depreciated debt, but also the English ones. The first effect of the massive American entry was to balance yields and mitigate the trend of the spread on the German bund downwards.

Zio Sam, the Human Rights Hypocrite

Zio Sam, the Human Rights Hypocrite
Source: SakerItalia
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [in English]. Signed by the United States and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948, the document was a great and luminous step forward in articulating how human beings could organize their social and political systems in accordance with the ideals of democracy and civilization.
The United States has long mishandled the Universal Declaration (OF) as a weapon to be wielded selectively against officially designated enemies. But seven decades after signing the document (and trumpeted it), American society finds itself in situations, rarely noticed, of clear violation of the key principles of the declaration. Read More

The United States is tearing us apart, but in Italy no one noticed

The United States is tearing us apart, but in Italy no one noticed

While bon ton Italy has a good time discussing populism and sovereignism, the Empire strikes again. Mike Pompeo, the secretary of state who came from the CIA (where it leaves, as new boss, tale Gina Haspel, at the time neocon very active in torture and now in fact confirmed in office with the decisive votes of the Democrats), announces "the harshest sanctions in history" against Iran, which could only be canceled if the ayatollahs took appropriate measures. Like disappearing off the face of the earth or converting to Buddhism. There is a basis for the disagreement with Iran, as is known, the Iranian nuclear deal signed in 2015 there USA, Ue, Russia in Onu. For almost the entire world the agreement works and, at a minimum, has blocked Iran's path to military nuclear power 15-20 years. For three countries, however, it is a dangerous disaster. Three against all, but in the three, alongside Israel and Saudi Arabia, there is the Empire, then the table jumps. Bad but that's how empires do it.
In the same speech, but, Pompeo, on behalf of the American administration, clearly explained the fate that awaits us: “We understand the financial and economic hardship this imposes on our friends, but you should know that we will hold accountable those who do prohibited business with Iran. I know that the Europeans want to preserve the nuclear agreement but now they know what our position is".
It's beautiful. Why Pompey, when he talks about “forbidden affairs”, means the businesses prohibited by the USA and the sanctions decided by them, not illicit or criminal business at all. 5 billions of actual trade, others 25 between protocols and agreements already signed and to be implemented. To give an idea: 30 billion was the value of the Italian Stability Law of 2018.

Israel takes the bait, Syria does not

Israel takes the bait, Syria does not
Source: Aurora site
Israel has repeatedly hit Syria with missiles and rockets, the most recent exchange took place after Israel declared that “Iranian rockets” had hit Israeli army positions in the Golan Heights which it illegally occupies. Titles, as ofIndependent, “Israel and Iran on the brink of war after the bombing of Syria in response to the alleged attack on the Golan Heights“, attempt to portray Israeli aggression as self-defense. L’Independent, However, it provided no evidence to confirm Israel's claims. For facade, with Iran inexplicably launching missiles against Israel, unprovoked and gaining no tactical advantage, strategic or political, the credibility of Israel's narrative is further eroded. But perhaps it is US public policy that designates Israel as a hostile provocateur charged with expanding Washington's proxy war against Damascus, to reveal the lethal and deceptive game that Israel and the Western media play. For years, US politicians have admitted in their newspapers that the US wants regime change in Iran and is trying to provoke a war to achieve it. Read More

Putin's strategy is finally starting to work?

Putin's strategy is finally starting to work?
Source: Comedonchisciotte
I have already had the opportunity to explain that attitude, typically Christian, of Russian President Vladimir Putin to turn the other cheek to Western provocations is a strategy intended to convince Europe that Russia is reasonable while Washington is not, and that Russia is not a threat to the interests and sovereignty of Europe, while Washington is. Appeasing Israel and withdrawing from the Iranian multinational nuclear non-proliferation agreement, American President Donald Trump may have contributed to the success of Putin's strategy.
The three largest European vassal states of Washington, Great Britain, France and Germany opposed Trump's unilateral action. Trump believes that the multinational treaty depends only on Washington. If Washington were to renounce the agreement, this would represent the end of the agreement itself. The will of the other signatories does not matter. Consequentially, Trump wants to reintroduce pre-existing sanctions on trade with Iran and impose additional ones, new sanctions. If Great Britain, France and Germany continued to honor the commercial contracts stipulated with Iran, then Washington would also sanction its own vassal states and ban English companies, French and German to operate in the United States. Washington obviously believes that the profits that Europeans have in the United States exceed those that can be obtained in Iran and thinks that [the Europeans] they will adapt to Washington's decisions, as well as, from vassal states, they have already done so in the past.
