What Saint Francis really said to Sultan El-Kamel?
Saint Francis of Assisi: an anti-pacifist ode
Saint Francis never proposed a pacifist Christianity. He was undoubtedly for peace, ma, da santo, it couldn't have been for pacifism. Being peaceful means believing that peace (first and foremost with God) is an important value; being a pacifist means believing that peace is the highest value; and this is wrong because peace (as the absence of war) must be subordinated to the value of justice.
After the conversion, the entire life of the Saint of Assisi was marked by the anxiety of saving sinners and as regards non-Christians he was not interested in "dialogue" but in conversion.
Regarding the meeting with Sultan Melek-el-Kamel there are two important testimonies: that of Tommaso da Celano (the most famous biographer of Saint Francis) and that of Enlightened Friar, eyewitness of the meeting between Saint Francis and the sultan. Read More
Carlo Freccero: Foa, finally a Rai President out of the frame
by Carlo Freccero
Foa is part of a small group of opinion leaders, blogger, journalists and thinkers, who present the other side of the coin on the internet, the facts beyond the propaganda
I wrote some time ago on these pages that the order of speech it's changing. Foa's proposal to president of Rai is a confirmation of my statement. I'll say more. If the nomination is followed by the proposal, there is a good chance that this process would be accelerated, because information is fundamental for the formation of public opinion. The proof? The hysterical reaction with which his candidacy was received by the entire mainstream press. The Movement 5 Stelle suggested Salini and no one had anything to object to. The League proposed Foa and the uproar broke out. It is paradoxical that Foa is being fought as a fake news dealer. In this area Foa is a precursor, but in reverse.
It's from 2006, a year that in terms of the fight against fake news is prehistoric, that Foa analyzes the problem of truth in politics. His book The sorcerers of the news, of which among other things the update has been released, critically analyzes the phenomenon of spin doctors and its implications in terms of democracy. The figure of the spin doctor is not a figment of the imagination of conspiracy theorists, but an official figure, well paid, which has long been involved in organizing the electoral campaigns of Democratic and Republican candidates in America and which, more recently, it was also introduced in Italy. I remember the spin doctor who followed the Monti government and the complete Americanization of the Renzian electoral campaign. The spin doctor is not bound by the truth. Read More
Vaccinations: the truth is priceless
Even when it wasn't topical at all, our Circle Christ the King organized in Segusino (TV) a conference on the dangers of some vaccines, involving the Association CORVELVA and its President Ferdinando Donolato. Let's talk about 2011…Now everyone's talking about it, science and politics are divided

Interview by Roberta Doricchi*
– We can start with the interview given by our health minister to Vanity Fair magazine [https://www.vanityfair.it/news/politica/2018/07/11/ministro-sanita-giulia-grillo-vaccini-salvini-marijuana (N.d.R.)]?
SM – A mortifying manifestation. Beyond chatter and details about his intimate life which could at most be of interest to the less culturally equipped strata of the population, it is worrying what this lady, However, she graduated in medicine, external on vaccines. Let's say that she is poorly and poorly informed and let's stop there, perhaps adding that it wouldn't be difficult for her to acquire at least a little of the many notions that she doesn't seem to possess. But here we would need a little humility and perhaps authority. And also worrying is the fact that the minister completely doesn't care about what her party has made those understand, proudly, he voted for it. They are not few, Indeed, those who have fallen into the game of believing that the law on compulsory vaccination, crazy and illegitimate as it is, would have been repealed. Now these inconsiderate, naive voters find themselves complicit in a situation that is critical to say the least, having somehow signed up to a management that is a replica of the past one. Read More

«May '68» and pedagogical modernism
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.

Fake News and induced truths
Of Enrica Perucchietti
Source: Italicum
Interview with Enrica Perucchietti, author of the book “Fake News”, Arianna Publishing 2018, edited by Luigi Tedeschi
- According to the thoughts of Walter Lippmann, our perception of reality is conditioned by images, concepts, moral values not directly acquired, but transmitted to us by others. Therefore, the narration of facts is necessarily subjective, a representation of reality formed through stereotypes, assumed as interpretative canons of reality itself. In the fluidity of today's telematic communication, therefore, new stereotypes replace old forms of manipulation of reality. It is therefore necessary to conclude that the perception of reality is always mediated by the uninterrupted succession of cultural stereotypes over time, every truth arises from selective parameters of interpretation of reality itself. In this case the post-virtual truths of media technology, they do not end up being equated with the metaphysical conceptions of philosophical knowledge and/or with the transcendent truths of religious faiths?
The risk exists. Yet the truth is one, with its infinite nuances, beyond the stereotypes or cultural archetypes that each of us has inherited or been indoctrinated into. I agree with the philosopher Alain De Benoist according to which the intent of post-truth would be to discredit the truth by presenting it as a "great story" which can no longer be believed precisely because everyone has constructed their own subjective truth. It would be the triumph of relativism: everything becomes “relative”, virtual and therefore chaotic. At this point of collective disorientation, Power guarantees the existence of its own truth through the supervisory action of the mainstream media and the laws introduced to guarantee order. That is, we want each of us to be increasingly wary of the news we can find on the web even if it is documented and true and, more generally, of alternative information to make exclusive reference to "certified" news.: we must only rely on what the Party says and has decided for everyone. The others will be conspiracy theorists, webeti and well poisoners. Read More
Israel wants war, but her enemies reject her
Of Bruno Guigue
Source: counterinformation
Israel bombs Syria again, Israel simplifies its military engagement process, Israel accuses Iran of possessing nuclear weapons… Without a doubt, We see: Israel is peace, the love between people and the light of nations. A metaphysical entity invested with extraordinary prerogatives, he has the right to bomb whoever he wants whenever he wants.
To achieve this impunity, it is true that the colonizing state has colonized everyone: Washington, Paris, London and even the UN. In the meantime, this entity bombs Syria, even causing a devastating escalation. It's incredible, but the missile fire of the 30 April is the 100th Israeli operation against Syria since 2013.
When Syrian military installations are attacked, However, Zionist leaders suspect that Damascus and Tehran (also indicated) they will end up taking revenge. All that escaped them was an Israeli plane (due, according to some sources) it was shot down in February, nor that the Syrian air defense repelled most of the missiles launched on April 14 by the neocolonial trio (USA-GB-France).

Hitting Putin's Russia to educate the rest of the world (but there is no new cold war)
BEYOND PROPAGANDA, IN SEARCH OF THE TRUTH’
In reality there is no Cold War except in the desire of Western democracies to create it (as in the case of the former Russian spy killed in London… but by whom?)
Of Giampaolo Rossi
(AUTOMATIC READING)
Because the Moscow secret services (or Putin himself according to some) they would have decided to eliminate a former Russian spy living in London, handed over by themselves to the English 10 years before and which would have long since ceased all activity?
Per “revenge because the Russians do not forgive traitors”, those who know things explain. But then why didn't they kill him during the years when the spy was a prisoner in Moscow prisons?
And then why do it to 15 days after the presidential elections in Russia which will see Putin win his fourth term and at the moment of maximum tension between Russia and the West, in which Europe and the United States are accusing Moscow of practically everything (in a while’ also the ozone hole)?
And why to delete this “retired spy” they would have poisoned her with a chemical substance identified by British experts as “Novichok”, one of the most lethal nerve agents created and developed in Uzbekistan laboratories during the times of the Soviet Union?
Because the Russians would have left this perfect author's signature to theirs “useless” plot? It wasn't simpler than a gunshot to the head from a hitman or one of those unsuspected road accidents in which the victim unintentionally loses his life in absolutely random circumstances?
And we are sure that this “poison” leads directly to the responsibility of Moscow? Read More
"Siria, there were no chemical weapons" The hidden truth behind the attacks
Catastrophists, the millenarian, apocalitticomani, conspiracy theorists at any cost are disappointed this time too, as we expected. No World War III in the short term because it is nobody's interest. The strategies are different.(n.d.r.)
“Syria, there were no chemical weapons” The hidden truth behind the attacks – The eyes of war
76 of the 105 cruise missiles launched by the US, Great Britain and France against Syria on the night of 14 April, they hit the Barzah Research Center in Damascus. They were “precise, overwhelming and effective” as Kenneth Mc Kenzie stated, Director of the Joint Chief Staff of the US General Staff in the very detailed conference ...
