This is why it is useful to read the book ”The empty cradle of civilization – At the origin of the crisis” written by the minister for the family Lorenzo Fontana and the economist Ettore Gotti Tedeschi (with preface by Matteo Salvini)
Of Giovanni Tortelli

(AUTOMATIC READING)
The purpose of the recent essay The empty cradle of civilization – At the origin of the crisis (Gondolin, Verona 2018, with preface by Matteo Salvini) of which they are authors, the current minister for the family Lorenzo Fontana and the economist Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, it is the demonstration of the direct connection between increase in birth rate, protection and encouragement of family formation and economic development, so that the economy can find "the investment of investments" in demographic growth and in the family, as Fontana defines it in the introduction.
Objective not easy to achieve, given that i “bad teachers” of the globalized economy who have succeeded one another in Malthus's chair have always believed that the equation according to which the gross domestic product of a country grows as the population decreases is true: when the population grows too much, individuals of the same species compete with each other for the exploitation of available resources: hence the presumed need for control (or inhibition) of births.
According to the Authors, nothing could be more wrong; in fact, it is enough to look at the results of the Brics countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) who by increasing the population have become rich, while the West, diminuendola, he became impoverished.
But why – the inexperienced reader may ask – it is really necessary to restore this direct proportional relationship between population growth and economic growth? Why – Gotti Tedeschi replies – it is the increase in the birth rate that causes the formation of the family and the family produces wealth, indeed it is the first aggregate of society that produces wealth.

Reporting of Federici Studies Center

The Grand Orient celebrates the Summer Solstice
Let's celebrate, according to an ancient and consolidated tradition the summer solstice, one of the anniversaries that have particular relevance for Freemasonry due to the high esoteric value that accompanies the meaning and effects of the alternation of darkness and light both in cosmic perfection and in our incessant initiatory work.
On this particular day which marks the triumph of light, its moment of greatest splendor, of maximum intensity in the eternal cycle of revolution that the Earth carries out around the sun, we Masons can admire the greatest and most beautiful expression of harmony and perfection that accompanies the work of the sun which produces copious fruits for the necessary regeneration of nature and at the same time of man who is an integral part and draws life and strength from it.
Us too, after having worked intensely and incessantly on sowing with the ritual work done in the winter months, we prepare to collect the light, energy and heat, the love and knowledge necessary for the continuation of our interminable work in this June which favors the fruitful maturation of the wheat.
Strengthened by our commitment and our tenacious workshop work, we are therefore preparing to enjoy the fruits in the sunlight, before the summer break which will see us busy recovering our energy in view of the resumption of our architectural works after September XX.
Dearest brothers, let's continue to look at the sun and let us too become little shining suns for our Obedience and for Humanity.
Happy solstice!

«May '68» and pedagogical modernism
by

Reporting of Roman correspondence
Of Giovanni Tortelli
In the previous article «Maggio ‘68», the revolution of nothing I insisted onessentiality of the cultural revolution character of the '68 protest as a vehicle of a new totalizing system of knowledge that was suddenly replaced, antithetical and manifest to the previous one.
The nullifying thought of Sartre and the new philosophers – which clearly constituted thearché within which the entire alleged pedagogical renewal of the student protest moved - it was very current in 1968, but it was nothing other than the latest updated version of that postmodern philosophy from Kant onwards, starting from the French Revolution, had closed the doors of supernatural life to man, he had reduced religion to a personal matter at best and reduced the Church in its values ​​and universal teaching.
But for the Church – which, must be remembered, carries out its educational action both in civil society schools through agreements reached with the States, both directly through Catholic schools – that skeptical philosophical thought, an atheist and agnostic was to be considered an overall less insidious danger, because external, compared to modernism, which instead smoldered inside and insinuated itself both into the teaching method of Catholic teachers and into the way of learning of Catholic disciples, future teaching class.

Iran will replace the US dollar with the euro in financial relations.

In the midst of the currency crisis, with this change we attempt to circumvent restrictions on the accessibility of the US dollar and prevent market instability.

The Iranian Riyal has lost nearly two-thirds of its US dollar value over the past three years [Thaier al-Sudani/Reuters]

Friday's move (ndt 13 apr.) is considered part of efforts to circumvent restrictions on the accessibility of the dollar currency, as a result of tensions with Washington, as well as preventing general instability on the markets generated by fluctuations of the Iranian Rial against the dollar.

In a cabinet meeting, the government has decided that all ministries, State organizations and companies should refer to the exchange rate with the euro, which the Central Bank of Iran will have the task of communicating frequently, the IRNA news agency reported.
It is unclear when this decision will take effect, but the entrepreneurs have said that they will wait to know the implementation methods before these new conditions can take effect.
“I suppose if they use the euro as their official currency, this will reduce the psychological impact of the rial fluctuations on the dollar”, he said, ad Al Jazeera, Newsha Sheikh Soleimani, which imports raw materials for the processing of bricks and ceramics in Tehran.
“Our company operates mainly in euros, but some invoices are issued based on the rial-dollar exchange rate” but his company recently had to suspend all transactions due to uncertainty over the value of the foreign currency.
“I welcome any move that can bring stability to the foreign exchange market”.
The loss of value
Valiollah Seif, head of the Central Bank, he had already said that the use of the dollar in financial transactions is not "logical"..
Iran's trade revenue is mainly in euros due to sanctions on the US dollar, he stated. Therefore, Seif added, the country's financial reporting should use a more stable and widely used reference currency in trade.
As part of the agreement Iranian nuclear power of the 2015 with world powers, all sanctions related to Iran's controversial nuclear program have been lifted.
Despite this, due above all to persistent tensions with the United States, There are still limitations on Iran's accessibility to US currency.
These restrictions have contributed to the fall in the value of the rial against the dollar in recent months.
The dollar traded at an all-time high of 60.000 Rial last week, teasing, among Iranians, serious concerns about the stability that the President Hassan Rouhani had brought about the economy by controlling exchange rates.
Since last year, the rial lost approximately 50% of its value compared to the US currency, which some Iranians buy in large quantities as an investment in times of great economic uncertainty.
A sudden drop in the value of the Rial is expected to cause an increase in the price of imported goods and increase the inflation rate.
To control the currency crisis, the government last week froze free trade in the us currency by introducing an official rate of 42.000 rials for every dollar.
The Central Bank said it would provide dollars only to those registered to use them for specific purposes, while the free exchange of foreign currency will be deemed illegal.

Seif, Head of the Central Bank, faced lawmakers' fury last week, when he took the parliamentary podium to explain the new forex policies. He suggested to the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei the use of the euro in foreign trade to replace the US dollar.
A short term fix?

In the meantime, a currency trader told Al Jazeera that these new policies are “good news for importers and exporters”, but which have generated confusion for its business.
“Even if the government replaces the dollar with the euro, the dollar is still traded and used as an investment by many in the free market.", he said, preferring to remain anonymous.
“I hope these decisions are not just temporary measures – like a fever-reducing pill – because international restrictions on the dollar affect our economic stability”.
There have been growing concerns among Iranian businesses about a possible US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal.
US President Donald Trump should decide the 12 May if his administration confirms sanctions that were lifted as part of the nuclear deal.
He believes the deal isn't working because it doesn't address Iran's missile program, as well as its military presence in the region.
Iran says its missiles are for defensive purposes.
