Sensational collapse of Italians' trust in European institutions
by

Reporting of BastaBugie editorial team

Italians are opening their eyes to the big scam: trust was at 70% In the 2011, today it collapsed at 34%
Of Antonio Socci

(AUTOMATIC READING)
The recent Ipsos survey on Italians' opinion on the European Union went almost unnoticed. Yet it is a hot topic and the popular response is decidedly embarrassing for mainstream living rooms and academies, who have a monopoly on public discourse.
In essence, Italians' trust in European institutions has plummeted. In the 2008 it was around the 75 percent and again in 2011 reached the 70 percent: today it collapsed at 34 percent.
Italy was once the most pro-European country on the continent and today it is one of the most eurosceptic. Never had trust in European institutions been so low.
We were pro-Europeans because they had made us believe that it was all a fabulous dream towards cosmopolitan happiness, like a gigantic edition of “Games without borders”, a mass Erasmus with the background of”Ode to joy” by Beethoven.
And they made us believe that the Euro was “the land flowing with milk and honey”. Rivers of rhetoric, of false promises and illusions.
Then the awakening. The precipice that goes from 75 percent per 34 per cent resembles the sudden awakening from a dream. It is the bitter disappointment of those who open their eyes to something (or someone), after having greatly deluded himself. Photograph the shock of those who realize they have been deceived. And he feels betrayed.
It is the state of mind of those who thought they had embarked on an earthly paradise and instead found themselves in hell. A utopia that becomes dystopia (or even cacotopia).
HOW ITALIANS HAVE OPENED THEIR EYES?
The reasons are many: the discovery of European institutions even worse than the Italian ones in terms of bureaucratic obtuseness and costs; the arrogance with which Italy is treated (also due to the subordination of past Italian governments); the feeling that there is someone who dominates like Germany, while Italy suffers the decisions of others.
But above all, dal 2011, two enormous phenomena have opened the eyes of Italians. Primo: the migratory invasion that Italy had to endure, alone, paying very high economic and human costs. With Europe that – in words – he gave us lessons in do-goodism and then closed the borders.
Second: the consequences – devastating for Italy – of the economic crisis of 2007-2008 which have dissolved all the fake promises about the euro and the European Union which – to listen to the propagandists – they would have protected our country from storms.
In recent years it has been discovered that in Italy – numbers in hand (but also from empirical experience) – we are much worse off than we were 25 years ago, before the Euro (as income, living conditions and how wealth is produced).
And everyone knows that for the first time our children – victims of massive youth unemployment and precariousness that ruins their future – they will be worse off than us. For the first time in our history.
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS DECIDE
Furthermore, we realized that we are no longer masters of our destiny, that we are governed by foreign and unknown nomenklatures that none of us have ever elected. That foreign governments decide on us and impose their will in Brussels.
So we have the feeling of having been expropriated of our democratic sovereignty without anyone ever asking us for permission.
It's a right feeling. It corresponds to what happened from Maastricht onwards. Expropriated of sovereignty without our knowledge. After all, this is the real strategy pursued by the architects of the European Union.
It was expressed by Jean Monnet, who is one of the demiurges of the European institutions, In the 1952. He said: “European nations should be guided towards a superstate without their populations realizing what is happening. This objective can be achieved through subsequent steps, each of which is hidden under a purely economic guise and purpose”.
Hearing these words, Charles de Gaulle replied that Monnet wanted to create “supranational monstrosities”.
But over time it is precisely Monnet's technocratic plan that has prevailed. And here we are today “supranational monstrosity” to which the peoples of Europe are beginning to open their eyes. And to demonstrate their intolerance.

Silence of the Italian media on Tiananmen: the Chinese regime won
by

Reporting of BastaBugie editorial team

Courier, Repubblica and the others forgot about the 29th anniversary of the massacre in China, but they told us about the anti-robot strike in Las Vegas, Nobel Prize winner Malala's defense of university hangovers, a new drink from Japan, ecc.
Of Leone Grotti

(AUTOMATIC READING)

More than 115 thousand people in the square to remember one of the largest massacres in contemporary history ordered by a totalitarian regime against its own people. It happened in Hong Kong, where myriads of young and old for the 29th consecutive year lit a candle in Victoria Park to "resist authoritarianism" and condemn the Chinese Communist Party, that the 4 June 1989 ordered the People's Liberation Army to massacre students peacefully gathered in Tiananmen Square in Beijing.
NOT EVEN A LINE IN THE ITALIAN NEWSPAPERS
It's an event. In a world where young people are accused of being careless, concerned only with the moment and lacking historical memory, tens of thousands courageously take to the streets (Hong Kong is certainly not free from the influence of mainland China) to denounce one of the greatest horrors in history, fruit of one of the bloodiest regimes in history, e… no one talks about it. Leafing through the pages of the main Italian newspapers, one discovers that today no one has dedicated even a single line to the event.
Worse. Corriere della Sera, Republic, Press, Sheet, Newspaper, Libero, Sole 24 Ore, Daily Fact: no one found space – not even a short one, not even a box, not even a photo, not even a line – to mark the 29th anniversary of the massacre. In the editions of 3-4-5 June the main Italian newspapers dedicated articles to the most disparate topics: the anti-robot strike in Las Vegas, Nobel Prize winner Malala's defense of university hangovers, the criticism of Blair's former spokesperson for not doing housework, the success of the Ogiek tribes of Kenya and that of the new alcoholic drink from Japan. But not a word about the tragic events in Tiananmen Square. Read More

The perfect Christian society is realized in the monastery
by

Report BastaBugie editorial team

The cloister is living proof that accepting without reservations to fully live the Gospel in this world is possible (and joyful)

Of Mother Ildegarde Cabitza

(AUTOMATIC READING)
There is a function of monastic life, within the company, which generally escapes superficial observers.
To those who ask us: “What do you do, Oh, closed in your monasteries, to cooperate in the affirmation and extension of the kingdom of Christ?” we usually reply that we give our prayer and our sacrifice to the world, to create a secret yet real compensation for the fearful spiritual deficiencies that dig an ever deeper abyss between man and God.
The answer is true, but it is not complete. Prayer and penance are the elements most easily perceived and understood by outsiders, but we should say with humble and ardent pride: “We are here to pray in the name of our brothers and to offer ourselves every day in union with the sacrifice of Christ, right, but also to give living testimony to Christ, to his doctrine of truth”.
Every monastery must be “as a sign”: the ideal type of the perfect Christian society, where the values ​​of the spirit have absolute precedence over any human interest, where the supreme law is charity, where individual members have, once and forever, believed in Love, and they have it together, with unreserved faith, accepted the risk of living the evangelical word to the full, renouncing the canons of “wisdom of the flesh”.
To whom, even among believers, even among the most sincere practitioners, the Gospel appears in its integral practice, utopia, and its needs irreconcilable with our human possibilities, we testify, living, that no doctrine can, May, more perfectly adhere to the deepest need of the spirit, of human coexistence itself.

The end of our civilization
by

of the doctor Silvana De Mari
We have thrown away our place as a child of God to become a child in an orphanage… Let's start again from the rosary

Ha mirror Konrad Lorenz, in The Eight Deadly Sins of Our Civilization, that a civilization is like an ecosystem. When you suppress something in an ecosystem, something that seemed useless or irrational or harmful, absolutely unexpected catastrophes can result, completely involuntary and delightfully irreversible. A civilization is like a tapestry: a thread is cut in one place and half the tapestry falls apart.
As Chesterton's good soul said, before pulling down a fence, ask yourself the question of why it was built. Maybe it's true that it's useless now, but it might not be, so ask yourself this question, and start telling yourself right away that if the only answer that comes to mind is that you are certainly much more intelligent than your ancestors who were idiots, that answer is wrong.
A civilization has formed over centuries and all the pieces make sense.
With this I do not mean that societies must remain immobile and always identical to themselves, otherwise we have terrifying circular civilizations where everyone always does the same things. The operation, but, made with the Enlightenment first and then with '68 – that is, to denigrate and deny religiosity, the myth, the ritual, without even wondering why they were born, what were all their meanings and advantages, without even having a doubt that there was a meaning and an advantage somewhere – it was suicide. I'm making an absolutely secular statement, which has value even for non-believers. Read More

Voltaire never said: "Non sono d'accordo con quello che dici, but I would give my life so that you could say it"
by

Reporting of BastaBugie editorial team

And in any case this sentence states the impossible in that one must be tolerant with the tolerant, vice versa, one cannot help but be intolerant towards the intolerant
Of Alfio Squillaci

(AUTOMATIC READING)
Like Galileo never wrote: «And yet it moves» and nowhere in Machiavelli's works is it found: "The end justifies the means", in the same way Voltaire never wrote or said «I don't agree with what you say, but I would give my life so that you could say it". So where does this urban legend come from??
I remember the television journalist Sandro Paternostro, vain and inconclusive Rai foreign correspondent, the one who definitively set, also for those who succeeded him, il “canon” of television correspondence from London on the thematic chain of caps-of-the-queen-dog-shows-and-so-minchionando (and all of Hume's and Dickens's England, of Labor and Shaw go to hell) he loved repeating this formula on the television program “Right of reply” from a few decades ago.
AN IMPOSSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT TOLERANCE
Even today it is retorted with great emphasis and citrulla magnanimity every time you show elegant tolerance towards your opponent. It is as full of vain fair play as it is logically meaningless only if we think that if we grant our opponent the freedom to say everything, even the intention to kill, us or others, on the one hand he would already do it and long before we sacrificed ourselves to allow him to say it, or it would do so with our consent.
The idea of ​​tolerance can only start from one “ethical minimum” and it can only be mutual, Obviously, but he cannot allow ideas of extermination or other abominations in his interlocutor, that therefore no one, and moreover at the sacrifice of his own life, may allow you to tell anyone. If in fact one must be tolerant with tolerant people, vice versa, one cannot help but be intolerant towards the intolerant.
PHRASE MAY THIS
But cutting it short, Mr. de Ferney never said such a phrase. Why then is it attributed to him? The only known version of this quote is that of the English writer Evelyn Beatrice Hall, «I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it», The Friends of Voltaire, 1906, also taken up in the subsequent Voltaire In His Letters (1919).
To close the story of this false quote, Charles Wirz, Conservator of “the Voltaire Institute and Museum” of Geneva, he remembered in 1994, che Miss Evelyn Beatrice Hall, mise, wrongly, in quotation marks this quote in two works dedicated by her to the author of «Candide», and expressly recognized that the quotation in question was not Voltaire's handwriting in a letter of 9 maggio 1939, published in 1943 in the titled volume LVIII “Voltaire never said it” (pp. 534-535) of the magazine “Modern language notes”, Johns Hopkins Press, 1943, Baltimore.
BELOW IS THE EXTRACT OF THE LETTER IN ENGLISH
«The phrase “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” which you have found in my book “Voltaire in His Letters” is my own expression and should not have been put in inverted commas. Please accept my apologies for having, quite unintentionally, misled you into thinking I was quoting a sentence used by Voltaire (or anyone else but myself).»
MY OWN EXPRESSION = I SAID SO, NON-VOLTAIRE
The word “my own” are italicized intentionally by Miss Hall in her letter.
If we believe certain commentators then (Norbert Guterman, A Book of French Quotations, 1963), the phrase would also be in a letter of 6 February 1770 to Abbé Le Riche where Voltaire would say: “Mr. Abbot, I hate what you write, but I will give my life so that you can continue to write.”
Too bad if you consult the letter cited, neither such a phrase nor the concept will be found. This letter being short, it is better to quote it in full and write the final word on this legend.
LETTER TO ABAB LE RICHE
«A m. The Rich,
in Amiens.
6 FEBRUARY.
You left, Sir, of which pour of which. You will find stubborn barbarians everywhere. The number of wise people will always be small. It is true that it is increased ; but that's nothing compared to fools ; et, unfortunately, they say that God is always for the big battalions. Honest people must hold tight and covered. There is no way their little troop will attack the party of fanatics in the open countryside.
I was very sick, I die every winter ; this is what makes, Sir, that I answered you so late. I am no less touched by your memory. Continue your friendship ; she consoles me for my ills and the stupidities of humankind. Receive insurance, etc.»
AN UNSTOPPABLE SLOGAN (EVEN IF FALSE)
But by now Miss Hall's phrase had crossed the Atlantic and after a small rebound in the restricted circles of liberals it had entered the formidable circuit of the American media, via the popular Reader's Digest (June 1934) e la Saturday Review (11 Maggio 1935). And since then its spread has been unstoppable. Read More

Seventeen of the nineteen trans are not trans, but they declared themselves trans only to be elected as women. The tongue twister serves to describe the paradoxical situation that has arisen in Oaxaca, Mexico, in the municipal elections and reported in the Foglio.
When the lists were presented, the associations that bring together transsexual people had rejoiced at such a high number of candidates. Then, the bitter surprise. It's not about trans but about smart males who, taking advantage of the article 16 of the new law that protects the choices of these people, they declared themselves women so as to increase their chances of being elected thanks to the pink quota.
Oh-oh, something doesn't add up. When they realized the scam, the associations got angry. «It has been identified that 17 from the 19 approved applications are not part of the transgender community", said leader Naomy Méndez. Hence a complaint to the federal authorities, who launched an investigation.
This will be resolved with the obligation for candidates to present themselves not as a fictitious name, how it happened, and having to campaign by publicly identifying themselves as transsexuals to voters.

The rugby player who ended up in a coma allowed us to see how transplants work

For the transplantation of vital organs we must ask ourselves whether to perform the explantation after death or die as a result of the explantation
Of Alfredo de Matteo

(AUTOMATIC READING)
The sad story of Rebecca Braglia, the young and unfortunate rugby player ended up in a coma following a tackle, declared brain dead and subjected to organ removal, it is an example of how the transplant machine works.
First of all, it has the task of using a nebulous technical language, unclear, in such a way as to make people think that it is a question that can only be assessed by professionals; secondly, information on the specific case is few and fragmented; third, the new criterion for determining death allows for “play” with the word death and to place it in a specific moment, albeit in a completely arbitrary manner.
In fact, we know that it is not possible to know the exact moment of death but only when it has already occurred, that is, when the unmistakable signs of death itself are evident (for example the penalty deaths).
It is known about Rebecca that the young woman fell into a coma following a gaming accident, that his clinical conditions immediately appeared very serious and were later judged irreversible, that the protocol for the observation of death was initiated in preparation for the fatal confirmation of death and finally that she was subjected to the procedure for the removal of organs.
It is interesting to note how the news of the rugby player's death was released by the media together with that of the start of the process of observing the death, which appears contradictory to say the least. Read More

L'aborto spinge le donne verso il suicidio

Voluntary abortion pushes women towards suicide.
National Right to Life returns to highlight the scientific publications that unequivocally conclude in this sense.
Postpartum depression is nothing compared to post-abortion syndrome: the numbers of women who attempt or practice suicide after pregnancy are evident. Furthermore, the postpartum crisis resolves itself within a few months, while post-abortion syndrome can smolder – and wear out – for years before exploding in all its virulence. Especially when the woman denies to herself that abortion is evil and that her child is an innocent victim.
In Ireland, pro-choice supporters insist on allowing abortion when the mother's life is in danger, and therefore even when she threatens suicide: like in the USA, before the Roe vs. ruling. Wade who legalized abortion on demand in 1974. In many states it was enough for a pregnant woman to declare suicidal intent to obtain a medical certificate for an abortion. Read More

Either you have a Y chromosome and are a male or you don't have one and are a female. At least there are 6.500 genetic differences between men and women. Hormones and surgery can't change them".
