L'ira del web contro Benetton e Toscani: "Metterete una maglietta rossa per le vittime di Genova?"

16 August 2018 by admin

Reporting of G.B.
The Benetton family, which through Atlantia controls Autostrade per l'Italia, in the sights of social media. Toscani's do-gooder campaigns are also under attack
Of Sergio Rame
From pain to anger. The transition is immediate. Sui social network, and especially on Twitter, Anger is being vented at this time against the Benetton family.
Media lynching is, Indeed, started soon after the first statements by ministers Luigi Di Maio, Matteo Salvini and Danilo Toninelli against the company Motorways for Italy that, through Atlantia, it is in fact controlled by the Benettons. “Now you will wear a red shirt for the victims of Genoa?”, writes a challenging user Oliviero Toscani That last 7 July had demonstrated against government policies of closing the ports to boats loaded with illegal immigrants.
Several hundred tweets. One after the other. All popped up a few hours later the dramatic collapse of Morandi bridge on the A10 motorway. Social networks are unleashing themselves against the Benettons by posting, just as the death toll increases hour by hour, several shots that portray a smiling and complete family group. In other posts, a photomontage was published in which Toscani is seen holding a photograph of the collapsed bridge in his hand. “Now you will wear a red shirt for the victims of Genoa?”, a user writes to him referring to the demonstration of 7 last July in support of illegal immigrants who land on the Italian coasts.

Genova: Morandi Bridge

16 August 2018 by admin

THE INVESTIGATION
Of Roberto Pecchioli
We didn't want to believe it. The collapse of the Morandi Bridge, that we Genoese, with a touch of colonized provincialism we called it the Brooklyn Bridge, It's a shocking tragedy, for its load of victims, pain, destruction and the terrible consequences that will drag on for years. This is not the time for jackals, but help, of condolence, of help, of collaboration. However, one cannot remain silent, keep a lid on anger over another sinisterly Italian tragedy: a work of that importance cannot collapse after just one day 50 years. For the writer there is something personal, almost intimately in the pain of these hours. Children, we participated in 1967 at the inauguration of the bridge with all the school groups of Genoa. Equipped with a tricolor flag, stationed in front of the stage, we followed the ceremony, we saw with the wonder of age the president of the republic Giuseppe Saragat surrounded by men in full uniform and the imposing figure of the great cardinal Siri, historic archbishop of the city.
We have crossed that very long bridge thousands of times, seventy meters above the valley of the Polcevera stream full of council houses and industrial warehouses of the former Superba, every day for decades we saw and touched it on our way to work. It's no longer there and it's someone's fault. They talk about lightning, of an intense storm and structural failure. Let's wait to make judgements, but on the morning of the eve of the August bank holiday it just rained. No floods, from the years 70 we remember at least six, devastating, in the city of Genoa. We don't know how many lightning strikes have struck engineer Morandi's artifact in half a century (few knew that the work was named after him), nor how much rain has wetted the imposing structures since then. We don't accept, we will never recognize the hasty justification of these hours as valid. It will be Bar Sport indifference, but we know that Roman bridges have been standing for two millennia, and we don't believe in the inability of designers. But, in recent decades there have been many collapses, like tragedies due to neglect, to ignorance, to widespread corruption. Read More

Anti-fascism and eco-monsters: who was Riccardo Morandi, the designer of the Genoa bridge

16 August 2018 by admin

Image results for richard morandi Of Nicola Mattei
Genova, 15 ago – What unites the Corviale snake in Rome, an attempt that started badly and ended worse to build a public housing "barracks" in Soviet style bridge over the Polcevera collapsed yesterday? A name, that of engineer Riccardo Morandi.
Born in Rome in 1902, he began his activity in the 1930s by experimenting - among the first in Italy - with the use of reinforced concrete and pre-stressed reinforced concrete. At the beginning of his career he designed churches and cinemas, and then specialized in the construction of bridges.
The skills in the field of reinforced concrete they are worth the call to the team that will design and build the Corviale, where Morandi will work alongside the architect Mario Fiorentino. The result is dramatic: almost a kilometre (e 11 floors in height) of a real city dormitory on the outskirts of the capital where the building boom of those years created eco-monsters destined to last and produce devastating effects. Applied social engineering will result in failure, managing to replicate for the worse all the distortions imported from the total and totalitarian planning that was experimented in the same period in the Soviet Union.
An ideological aspect, the latter, which cannot be overlooked. We are in the Italy of the conflict (also armed), in which remaining helpless in the face of political opposition is almost impossible. E Morandi had made his choice: “His family – writes Repubblica on the occasion of his death, er he 25 December of 1989 – they remember him as a man who always made a point of defending his independence from all powers, starting with the fascist one of which he was an opponent".

The Maxi Hoax of racism in Italy: here are the real data

14 August 2018 by admin

Of Gianni Candotto
These days, thanks to a massive press campaign and a massive political campaign by the left, the idea has spread that there is a racism emergency in Italy and that racism in Italy is on the increase. But is it like this or is it just propaganda? To understand this it is necessary to analyze the data on crimes against foreigners in Italy, of racially motivated crimes and make a comparison with previous years and with abroad.
The first data is to see whether there has been an increase in crimes against foreigners overall (violence, insults, damage, vandalism and other crimes). Taking into account that foreigners have increased, it would be logical to expect a constant increase in crimes against foreigners, but the data says otherwise. Se 2016 they were there 202.000 foreign victims of crime, In the 2017 192.000 and in the first full six months of 2018 85.000 (which multiplied by two is 170.000. Even comparing the first six months of 2017 with the first six months of 2018 let's move on 90.000 a 85.000). Read More

Saviano sentenced (again) for Gomorrah

14 August 2018 by admin

He will have to compensate a defamed entrepreneur
RECIPIENT
The writer and Mondadori did not correct a passage on which the judge had already expressed his opinion
Roberto Saviano and Mondadori Libri were sentenced to jointly pay 15 thousand euros to an entrepreneur, already compensated with 30 thousand euros four years ago due to a sentence that became final. This is because the writer did not rectify the passage in the book “Gomorrah” in which Vincenzo Boccolato, with no criminal record and resident abroad, he is described as a member of a Camorra clan. The lawyers Alessandro Santoro made this known, Sandra Salvigni and Daniela Mirabile, lawyers of Boccolato, who explain that the provision, filed three days ago, it was signed by the judge of the first civil section of Milan Angelo Claudio Ricciardi.
In summary, Saviano and the publishing house decided to continue reprinting the same edition without removing the defamatory expressions sanctioned in the first conviction. Circumstance that the judge assessed as “new defamatory offence”.

The Turkish collapse is an argument against globalism

14 August 2018 by admin

Because we are not Turkey. And the Turkish collapse is an argument against globalism.

Do you know what Turkey's public debt is? Il 30% on GDP. A model country according to the dogmatics of ordoliberalism. And the public deficit? 1.5% on GDP. For the dogmatists of “We remain in the euro because we have a public debt of 130%", the very low Turkish public debt would have been a "guarantee against speculation", e “the attack of the markets”: Instead Turkey was…

TGVerona.it – Bacciga fascist salute, two exposed to the Prosecutor's Office

14 August 2018 by admin

While the Counselor Avv. Andrea Bacciga, very worried, already asks for quality drinks, no oranges and no time wasters for the future “gabbio”, from his deckchair in the middle of the beach… (n.d.r.)

14/08/2018 09:24

They were introduced two reported to the Verona prosecutor's office against the majority councilor Andrea Bacciga who last 26 July in the chamber he addressed some members of the Non una di Meno movement, raising his right arm outstretched, giving rise to a fascist demonstration. The gesture, repeated in the classroom, it was seen by several people: opposition and majority municipal councilors, representatives of the citizens and naturally by the exponents of the movement Not one less, present in the chamber that day because the discussion of two motions proposed by two councilors of the Northern League aimed at giving ample space to Catholic associations to oppose free abortion and to systematize the "burial of unborn children" program, even without the consent of the woman involved and at the expense of public health.

Some activists of Non Una di Meno, movement that at a national level had decided to oppose the approval of the two motions through pressure on social networks, they had decided that day to put on a scene, as has already happened in many other cities and countries around the world, a peaceful protest, whose message was conveyed by clothing. That is, they wore clothes similar to those of the serie tv The Handmaid’s Tale, that is, red tunics and cloaks and white headdresses. In the book and in the series, women dressed in this way live as sexual slaves and living incubators.

Following the events that occurred during the session of 26 July 2018 councilor Bacciga claimed responsibility for his gesture in a tweet in which (following the outcry resulting from his gesture and the public denunciation of Non Una di Meno which asked for his immediate resignation and which anticipated that he would take legal action) quoted Benito Mussolini: “If you acquit me you do me a favor, if you condemn me you do me an honor”.

On his Facebook page, councilor Bacciga also published the mobile phone numbers of two women belonging to the Non Una di Meno movement, numbers still visible as well the sexist and denigrating comments towards them.

In the two complaints presented to the prosecutor's office by the lawyer Federica Panizzo it is believed that the conduct of the City Councilor Andrea Bacciga constitutes the crime referred to in the art. 5 of law no. 645 of the 1952 (the so-called Scelba law). Bacciga, showing off the Roman salute, staged a demonstration of the dissolved fascist party, behavior which is even more serious given that it took place within the City Council chamber and that it was done by a person who was democratically elected according to the rules of the Republic of the Italian State and its Constitution.

The first complaint was presented by Non Una di Meno, the second will be presented in a few days by dozens of citizens, some and some of which belong to associations that have known, by the media, what happened in the City Council meeting of 26 July.

Among the associations there are, for now: Pink Club, planet Milk Verona – LGBT Pianeta Center A.P.S., the Orma trade union association, the Circle of the Rose, l’ANED (National association of former deportees to Nazi camps, Isoline and

Matthew Castagna: "Cattolici tra Europeismo e Populismo" – The challenge to nihilism

14 August 2018 by admin

Of Lucia Rezzonico
Yesterday, our manager Matthew Castagna premiered his book “CATHOLICS AND BETWEEN Europeanism POPULISM – The challenge to nihilism” (SOLFANELLI editions pag. 243) at the national broadcaster, also visible abroad on satellite, Italy channel, host of the show “News Today” of the conductor Gianluca Versace.
Together with him, a well-known forty-year-old communist from Padua, the commentator Aldo Bianchini, the most conciliar journalist and writer Luciano Lincetto and the area beat singer of a sort “hippie left” Gigi Barrichello.

The guests of yesterday morning's episode: Chestnut, Bianchini, Barrichello, Lynx

It certainly cannot be said that Castagna played “at home”, anything but. But he himself explains to us the reason for choosing to go out with her first presentation in this context: “Today television is still, in Italy, the most used means of communication, as demonstrated by expert data and the audience, very high, obtained from the episode, which was followed by an avalanche of orders for the book. I specify that two types of presentations or conferences can be held: where we talk “in house”, and it is certainly a useful method. But if the aim is to reach those who don't think like you, the means is that of cross-examination. This time I was offered this and I gladly accepted. I have another one, simile, at stake, in Verona and three others, in September. Starting from October I am available for further presentations, always writing to christusrex@libero.it“. Read More
