If Europe creates a vacuum, sooner or later he will convert. But not to the Gospel

What three very different characters have in common makes them like the French esotericist and philosopher René Guénon (1886-1951), the British folk singer-songwriter (but of Greek Cypriot and Swedish origins) Cat Stevens (class 1948, living) and the Sicilian journalist and writer Pietrangelo Buttafuoco (class 1963, living)? This might seem like a strange question, bizarre; of those to which perhaps not even Massimo Inardi or Mrs. Longari, guests of Mike Bongiorno's TV quiz programs, they would have been able to answer. Nevertheless, the answer is very simple: they have in common the fact that the first, dal 1912, è dive into Shaykh ‘Abd al-Wahid Yahya; the second, dal 1977, he became Yusuf Islam or simply Yusuf; and the third, dal 2015, he became Giafar al-Siquilli. In other words, all three were fascinated by the Islamic religion, until you convert to the faith of Koran. And all three were exponents of a European culture that, just a few years ago, it seemed solid and well aware of itself and its tradition: respectively in the philosophical and esoteric fields, in the artistic-musical one and in the journalistic and literary one. The first was a native of Blois, on the Loire; the second was born in London; the third in Catania. All three have traveled extensively and have come into contact with cosmopolitan environments, even if in all three there is a strong rooting in their respective cultures of origin. The refined intellectual Guénon is unthinkable, or at least it is incomprehensible, outside the framework of early twentieth century France, with decadentism, symbolism, Martinism, the avant-gardes; and if it is true that the author of The crisis of the modern world (1927) and The reign of quantity and the signs of the times (1945) they can be read as the fruit of a spiritual search with a universal flavor, which draws on all the traditions of the East and the West to reach a supreme ideal synthesis, it remains undeniable that they can also be read as the response to a certain French culture, between symbolism and existentialism, gives awareness of one's crisis, interpreted as the crisis of all Western civilization.

A SHORT REPLY TO FRANCO CARDINI

“For a pro-European sovereignism”* by Franco Cardini (one of the most lucid and capable Italian intellectuals) It is certainly an article worth reading, since, as well as highlighting the serious limits of a "sovereignism" which risks configuring itself as a form of "incapacitating" nationalism in the current multipolar phase**, offers the opportunity for critical reflection on the question of building an authentic European geopolitical pole. Indeed, they can also be done in Cardini – and they must – address several criticisms. Let's look at some of them briefly
1) Hinges (but he is not the only one) it seems not to take into account that civilization and culture are on a distinct level (although not unrelated) from the geopolitical one. For example, Greek civilization and culture were based on the poleis which continued to wage war even after the Peloponnesian War, until the poleis had to recognize the supremacy of the Macedonian kingdom.
In short, civilization and culture (european) they are not enough to give life to a geopolitical subject (European).

Minister Fontana: “The League is preparing a crackdown on drugs”

The announcement : “We are working on it with Salvini”.
War on drugs and dealers. This is the League's next battle, as announced in recent hours by the Minister for Family and Disabilities, Lorenzo Fontana, interviewed by Evening courier. The Northern League exponent confirmed the intent of his party and the government to implement a real crackdown on the circulation of narcotic substances: “The idea is to profoundly rethink the prevention and assistance system. But also review rules such as the 'modest quantity. On the one hand – continues the minister – it suggests that there is an admissible quantity, on the other hand it prevents drug dealers from being removed from the streets".
For Fontana “the modest quantity is a precious help for drug dealers who are unlikely to be found with higher doses. So they are arrested and in the evening they are already free".
But the Northern League's proposal risks clashing with the allies' projects 5 place. For about a month, the Five Star Movement has presented a bill to the Senate which aims to decriminalize the cultivation and recreational use of the so-called "light cannabis", an idea that neither vice prime minister Matteo Salvini likes at all, nor to Fontana himself: “I must also say that the so-called legal hemp, supported by important investments in marketing, I don't think it sends a good message.".

No, Russian trolls aren't behind the yellow vests: only the void left by the left

The news of the day, apparently, this is it: "international" research has shown that the yellow vest protest, in France, it was infiltrated and supported by the right, sometimes extreme, which on the Internet contributed to amplifying the media effects of the protest against President Macron. It's the usual local troll soup, successful hacker, American white supremacists and other bogeymen without whom, apparently, you can't do anything anymore.
The emphasis that – in this case as in all similar cases, from Russiagate onwards – it is given to trouble, you have post, to the tweets and retweets of the Internet demonstrates how traditional information is inclined to look for the speck in another's eye (Internet, Obviously) and neglect the beam that is housed in its own.
If this were not the case, the research published by the BBC would have had equal or greater prominence, which denounces the work of trolls to create consensus around the Warsaw summit called by the USA to marginalize Iran from the international community and perhaps to pave the way for some more decisive intervention than just economic sanctions. But above all it demonstrates once again how great it is, more generally, the desire to talk about something else, to go around problems by addressing only the waste and not the substance. Like a gala lunch made of baby carrots and spinach but without roast meat.
What we need today, speaking of yellow vests, It's a great search (even not international, municipal is also fine, as long as it is well done) about the reasons for their anger. Let him try to understand, for example, why so many "normal" French people have been taking to the streets for months to smash shop windows, getting beaten up by the police and getting rubber bullets, while the République only manages to pass vaguely repressive laws to narrow the margins for protests. It would be discovered, Perhaps, that behind the problem of excise duties on fuel there is a much more important issue, indeed decisive. For decades, the complicity of political systems with industrial ones has filled our streets with diesel engines that Europe no longer wants because they pollute. Read More

Syria: the crime of the embargo

Giuseppe Federici Study Center – For a new onset

Press release no. 13/19 of the 15 February 2019, San Faustino
Syria: the crime of the embargo
Embargo: there are also victims without bullets
More and more negative repercussions are affecting the living conditions of Syrian civilians, while some Western states continue to impose economic sanctions against Syria.
The economic war, whether it prevents trade or uses mass media or punishes those who help Syria, has many short and long term goals; essentially seeks to create economic problems that cause division in Syrian society and affect the investment environment after recently seeing improvement, as this economic war seeks to drive away investors and businessmen, says a report published by the Syrian news agency SANA.
The most important objective of the sanctions against Syria is to block local production in order to transform Syria into a state with consumption dependent on other countries, instead of being a self-sufficient productive state.

I 1.425 bridges without properties: how it ended

A technical table has been convened for this morning between Anas and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport which should take stock of the situation on the "anonymous bridges" affair, raised by a Dataroom investigation who discovered that in Italy there are hundreds of bridges about which nothing is known: of who they are, who manages them, who does its maintenance. The meeting should lay the foundations for resolving two fundamental issues: the regulatory and financial framework.

The legislative vacuum

There is a legislative gap to be filled, which at the moment does not allow Anas to intervene on structures whose ownership is uncertain, despite the fact that they overpass the state roads it manages (beyond 20 thousand kilometers…

Christian values ​​and family, this is how Orban challenges Europe

Vikor Orbán during the annual State of the Nation speech in Budapest. On the podium the writing «Hungarians first!»Vikor Orbán during the annual State of the Nation speech in Budapest. On the podium the writing «Hungarians first!»

monica perosino 12/02/2019
«We need Hungarian children». Break. Viktor Orbán looks up at the still and silent audience of Buda Castle. The emphasis is on the word «Hungarians». «We don't need migrants, but of Hungarian children". He will reiterate this several times in the annual State of the Nation speech, an invitation to combat the low birth rate of the country besieged by hordes of migrants – «terrorists» – ready to "invade the country" that his wall has so far managed to stop. The ultra-conservative prime minister's narrative seems unchanged since 12 years, since he came into power. He began his speech with the enthusiasm of "an economy that has been growing for seven years" thanks to "government policies and God". But it is the grand finale that draws the ovation from the packed room: «We live in times where fewer and fewer children are being born across Europe. The peoples of the West respond with immigration. But we Hungarians see it in a different light. We don't need numbers, but of Hungarian children".
