Of Alessandra Benignetti
Despite the six billion euro pact between Brussels and Ankara to contain the flow of migrants and integrate 3,7 million refugees Syrians in Turkish territory, the landings towards the coasts of Greece continue.
The news of the shipwreck of a small boat on board dates back to the beginning of February 84 Syrian migrants off Mersin, in the south of Türkiye. The tragedy was avoided thanks to the intervention of the Turkish coast guard. After being rescued, the refugees were identified and placed in temporary custody. But like them, in many, especially Afghans, Pakistanis and Syrians, they do not give up and challenge the controls to undertake the long march towards Western Europe. The goal is always the same. To change, Instead, it is the itinerary. Read More
Disaster in Latina: the stele in honor of Norma Cossetto was desecrated, martyr of the Foibe
Havoc to Latina
After the discovery of the ignoble gesture, the monument was cleaned
It had only been inaugurated yesterday, for the Remembrance Day, the stele in memory of Norma Cossetto. But the monument that Latina had paid tribute to the young Istrian martyr of the Headquarters it has already been desecrated, smeared with the symbol of anarchy drawn in red paint. After the discovery, this morning, of the ignoble gesture the stele was cleaned by the municipal administration.
“The profanation of the stele in memory of Norma Cossetto inaugurated only yesterday in Latina is the sign of a stupid and blind ideological fury, fueled by a climate of opposition that has no reason to exist”, declares the former mayor of Latina, Vincenzo Zaccheo comments on the vile and cowardly gesture against the memory of the young victim of the foibe with the affixing of anarcho-communist symbols.
“With that gesture – concludes Zacchaeus – the poor Norma Cossetto was killed twice. First in the Foibe massacre, then in the cowardly, cowardly gesture against his memory and against the victims of those massacres. Latina, city of hospitality that gave refuge to thousands of families uprooted from their lands by the blind fury of Tito's Italian-Yugoslav communist partisans, he cannot tolerate the stupidity of this act. I hope and hope that the municipal administration will intervene with a firm condemnation, as well as with the immediate restoration of the stele and that the authors of this massacre be identified as soon as possible”.

Putin's phone call to Netanyahu stops Israeli bombs in Syria
That's the question many were asking this weekend: why does Russia allow Israel to bomb the government posts in Syria? The answer is simple: Vladimir Putin it cannot lose an ally like Israel. The historical ties between the two countries are deep – one sixth of the Israeli population is made up of Russians of Jewish origin – and Tel Aviv is one of the key players in the region. Going into a head-on collision would be madness (if not political suicide).
But the “red line” would have been crossed this weekend, when Syrian forces shot down an Israeli F16 that had been conducting strikes against “Iranian targets” in Syria.According to reports Haaretz, the Russian president would have called the Israeli prime minister to ask him to avoid moves capable of leading to "new and disastrous consequences for the region". Consequences that concern not only Moscow's Shiite allies, but also (and above all) the same Russian troops present in Syria. This invitation, according to what the Israeli newspaper reports, he would be welcomed by Tel Aviv. Read More
Syria, Israel tries to impose itself but it is Putin who leads the game
The attacks in Syria and the clash over Iranian influence in the region make the challenge between Israel and Israel increasingly heated Russia for control of the war and the region. A clash that has been going on for months now and that both Putin and Netanyahu do not seem to be able to limit due to explicit statements divergences of interests between Moscow and Tel Aviv on how this troubled war, which appears increasingly interminable and full of complications, should be managed and concluded. Israel, according to Israeli media, would like to impose on Russia and all the actors involved in the region a series of "red lines" to limit the influence ofIran and the militia of Hezbollah in Syria. However, as reported Haaretz, Israel cannot do this without the agreement with Russia. And this remains a problem since, as has been clear for years now, Above all, Russian President Vladimir Putin "leads the game" in the Arab country. Read More
THE PROCESS, PER 2 ITALIC WORDS IN A BOOK: "SERVO SCIOCCO"
Of Danilo Quinto
Dearest Friends, Dear Readers,
I write these lines on my birthday. It was the 1956. Time flies. It's a breath and we don't notice. Then we stop, we see our life and wonder what we have done with it.
“I invite you every day”, a dear priest friend wrote to me this morning, “to do like the Cyrenean: you go your own way, then at a beautiful moment you find the man-God bent under the weight of the Cross, and you who take her place for that short stretch of road. In conclusion, this is your day, your life. But the Lord follows the Cyrenean and thanks him. Then he dies in his place.".
We follow the Lord. We take up His Cross. It will be beautiful, Then, live with Him. Forever. Time won't fly. It won't exist. We were created and loved from the beginning to live in eternity.
Il 22 February, unless further postponed, I will face the last hearing of the defamation trial that the radicals brought against me for two words: foolish servant, written in a book 6 years ago, my first book, in which I defined myself servant of Pannella. Those two words were a metaphor, like those used by Carlo Goldoni in his beautiful comedies. The things I told in that book were very different, all documented. All true, Therefore, because nothing has ever been complained to me about these. The story was told by him, on his blog The style of the Court, by Marco Tosatti: THE SILENCE OF EVERYONE, CATHOLIC MEDIA INCLUDING, AROUND THE DEFAMATION TRIAL AGAINST DANILO QUINTO (http://www.marcotosatti.com/2018/02/08/la-vergogna-del-silenzio-di-tutti-media-cattolici-compresi-intorno-al-processo-per-diffamazione-contro-danilo-quinto/). Thank you, Marco Tosatti! Just as I thank the other websites that have talked about it (Christ the King - Act Against, Friends of the Catholic Tradition of Forlì, Anonymous of the Cross, Word of mouth now, viewpoint, Samizdatonline, Messainlatino, Existentially peripheral).

“American Catholics prefer President Trump to Bergoglio”
Edward Pentin is the Rome correspondent of National Catholic Register. A daily newspaper that generally comes defined as “liberal” and that, in any case, represents an important voice of American Catholicism. In this exclusive interview, Pentin analyzes, from his point of view and that of the Americans, the relationship between American Catholics and Pope Bergoglio.
Your newspaper was particularly attentive to the “Barros case”. How do you think the "management" of this matter was?
"Chaotic. The problem is the Pope's inconsistency in dealing with cases of abuse: on the one hand he has shown himself committed to implementing new structures to fight crime, but on the other hand he favored friends or friends of friends – cardinals, bishops and priests – who covered up abuse or committed abuse themselves. The case of Bishop Barros is just another example of a proven trend.".
Donald Trump and Catholics. The tycoon is a pro-life exponent. As currency, to date, the actions implemented by the president of the United States? Read More
Revisionism, ultimo atto "L'Anpi nasconde la storia"
Controversy over a partisan initiative in Sedriano. The center-right attacks the stele in Piazza Repubblica
Of Alberto Giannoni
It is inaugurated today, from the town hall 4, the first monument dedicated to the victims of the foibe in Milan. And it's all a flourish of initiatives, in the areas governed by the centre-right.
The stele that should be placed in Piazza della Repubblica instead, you can't see it yet, even if the Municipality announces an imminent meeting to break a stalemate that has been going on for years.
The history of memory is also a history of controversy. The massacres of the foibe and the exodus of the Istrian-Dalmatians have long been ignored or denied, for political reasons. The ancient taboo of the left continued to produce silence, or worse gaffe, provocations and revisionisms. And Sedriano also seems to be a similar case, where for the 9 February an initiative is organized in which, according to the centre-right, the history of the foibe is compared to fascism. «It's really shameful – comments Forza Italia MEP Stefano Maullu – that the Anpi tries to hide the responsibilities of communism: Anpi organized a conference entitled “Fascism, Headquarters, Exodus”, avoiding in all ways to allude to the killings and murders perpetrated by the communists".

"Il corpo di Pamela è stato sezionato in modo scientifico"
The autopsy on Pamela's body does not clarify many doubts, but it reveals important details. The second Nigerian also sold drugs
Of Lucio Di Marzio
The first results of the autopsy on Pamela Mastropietro's body do not dispel the doubts about the case, performed by the forensic medicine staff of the University of Macerata.
However, in the results delivered in the early afternoon to the Public Prosecutor's Office there are some important conclusions from the pool of experts.
According to Mariano Cingolani, doctor who carried out the exam together with colleagues Dora Mirtella and Roberto Scendoni “the body was cut in a 'scientific way’ and all organs are present”, but since “there are no traces of blood and urine on the remains of the corpse” the first investigations “did not allow highly significant results on an evidentiary level to be achieved”.
More could be known from further investigations that will be carried out next week, but in the meantime new details emerge regarding the legal profile of the case. According to the Macerata prosecutor's office, the Nigerian Desmond Lucky, accused of complicity in murder, would have sold one “very modest” quantity of heroin to the 18 year old found dismembered in Pollenza. However, there are no conditions for precautionary custody. Read More
Paris, wing of the University "occupied" by illegal immigrants
Report Roman correspondence
Incredible situation of social tension and degradation, the one staged last year 30 January in building A of the University of Paris VIII, a Saint-Denis: with the complicity of autonomists and the far left, several dozen illegal African immigrants occupied the premises. These are Sudanese, Eritreans, Ethiopians and Guineans, who demand "free" regularization - i.e. skipping all the steps required by law - and accommodation (always free).
The University leaders have issued a statement, in which they incredibly exalt their «tradition of hospitality and solidarity» since the times – they write – «of the foundation». This is why they propose a specific diploma for refugees and a programme, called «Break», intended to welcome all scientists persecuted in their own countries.
In concrete terms, but, the sense of welcome from the University soon ends, so much so, after so many beautiful words, the lack of progress in negotiations with illegal immigrants is lamented and blame is given for the fact that they have not yet been accompanied in «a more appropriate place, wider and safer» of the current one, That, if it were not occupied illegally, it should be, actually, home to numerous courses. In short, they go anywhere, as long as they finally leave the classrooms free... Thus showing the inconsistency of those who wave utopia only in words, never in fact. Read More
