Defeated and humiliated. The government of Nicosia is responsible for circulating the bulletin of the Italian defeat by announcing that Saipem 12000, the Eni research vessel blocked by the Turkish navy off the coast of Cyprus is "forced to turn back".
A euphemism behind which lies the sad reality of a Mediterranean subjected to the will of Sultan Erdogan. A sultan who forced us to abandon that blockade with political arrogance and military arrogance 3 of the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus where Eni was busy looking for new gas wells under Nicosia's mandate. A sultan against whom neither Italy nor Italy found the courage to raise their voices, nor Europe, born in the United Nations. But let's start with Eni. Taking it as an example of Italy's weakness is out of place.
Eni is certainly the treasure chest of many important national interests. And its explorations and research contribute to guaranteeing national energy needs. But Eni is above all a company and must be accountable first and foremost to its shareholders. The pirate boarding of a Türkiye ready to move its frigates and decree a naval blockade disguised as a military exercise cost Eni around 600 thousand dollars a day. Continue in this situation in the absence of political-diplomatic assurances from Rome – and above all from Brussels and the UN – true guarantors of the legitimacy of the Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone – it was impossible. The more days passed, the more the costs became unsustainable. Read More

“What struck me most these days? The nail bombs in Turin against the police”. Talking is Guido Salvini, investigating judge in Milan and investigating judge in the years of lead, and he too will probably be accused on the left of being a “fascist”. Interviewed by Messenger, the toga hits hard i social centers they violent antagonists: “Those bombs demonstrate a desire to do harm, not just to demonstrate in a violent way”. The comparison with the Years 70 according to Salvini it is excessive: “Then there was shooting and massacres. For many years there have been no more deaths caused by a civil war in the streets.
The tension today arises from the presence in the elections, with a decent following, of movements like Forza Nuova e CasaPound“. Even in this case, but, the alarm is exaggerated. Laura Boldrini e Free and Equal they have already proposed disbanding those far-right forces: “I don't agree – Salvini replies -. Not small groups already outside the law would be handed over to illegality, but tens of thousands of people. Furthermore, it would be unconstitutional”. Read More

In the 2018 almost a century later, talk about anti-fascism, in the absence of fascism it almost seems embarrassing if it weren't tragic. In such a complete and refined system, such as EU neo-totalitarianism, anti-fascism is to all intents and purposes a tool in the hands of the elites to perpetuate their domination. Among other things, now that there is an increased level of popular awareness on the modus operandi of the strong powers, including divide and conquer techniques, here's the mainstream going full steam ahead, intelligentsia, and social democracy arm the hands of "anti-fa radicalism".

We remember that already in the 60s and 70s with Operation Gladio the centers of political power, more or less occult, groups of the extra-parliamentary left or right alternately moved to implement certain government plans. However, critical voices and interesting experiences already existed at the time, albeit small ones who tried to overcome certain barriers, in the name of a broader anti-system struggle. Let's take the beginnings of the Student Movement for example, or Pasolini's lucid analyzes on anti-fascism and defense of the police. Read More

I was and remain convinced that in the very early nineties Willy Huber, who then ran the Save the Children hospital in Mogadishu, in Somalia, saved my life. Plus, I have had dozens of contacts, and in some cases deep relationships, with representatives of NGOs in various parts of the world. So let's imagine if I can have a preconceived position towards the so-called "volunteering".
But a crisis is a crisis. And the current one is very profound, and it doesn't just concern the giants overwhelmed by the scandal like Oxfam or those who are reporting themselves because they had already taken measures and don't want to end up in the meat grinder like Save the Children o Doctors Without Borders. So deep that the Charity Commission, the body that supervises NGOs on behalf of the English government, reports receiving over a thousand reports of sexual abuse every year, that concern large organizations, small and tiny. And it is clear that the citizen of good will, the citizen-donor but also the citizen who pays taxes and sees his government entrusting tens of millions to NGOs, he's quick to ask himself a question: if these, in Haiti or elsewhere, they used the organization as a venue for orgies, who knows what happened to my money.
