L'internazionale populista di Bannon

Bannon's populist international
Source: Conflicts and strategies
These days Steve Bannon is certainly the character who is causing the most talk in sovereignist circles
Trump's former chief strategist hit the headlines for having inaugurated “the Movement”, the movement precisely, who should be the collector of all the sovereignist parties in Europe, from Marine Le Pen to the Austrian FPO, from Victor Orban to Matteo Salvini.
The idea of ​​Trump's advisor is to create a sort of foundation capable of financially supporting all the populist parties in Europe. The objective declared by the founder himself is to create an organization capable of facing theOpen Society of George Soros which he has over time financed with 32 billions of dollars, Ong, associations that promote immigration, freedom in bio/ethical issues such as abortion and euthanasia, lega LGBT ecc. Creating a movement Anti-Davos, capable of organizing the identity forces of all of Europe, the cosmopolitan elites and its progressive values.
On the threshold of the European elections next May, a "coalition of the right" will compete to take a third of the European parliament.
There therefore seem to be two factions on the field, one of a globalist nature, linked to left-wing parties and Sorosian finance; the other, a grouping of all the nationalist parties in Europe. Read More

You have already considered the possibility that everything the Western media has told you about how the world is going, is nothing but a lie and pure invention?
I'm sure you did, at least in recent times, in which the madness of Western propaganda becomes so clear and evident. But how vast is the indoctrination to which you have been subjected?
If you live in Europe or North America, to what extent you have been poisoned by lies regarding Cuba and Venezuela, regarding Russia and China, North Korea and – without a doubt – regarding Iran?
You believe you are still recoverable?
If you could see the truth, and confront yourself with reality, you would still be able to recognize it, or you would perceive it as propaganda and lies?
I just left Tehran, city ​​with a formidable history and culture, overflowing with museums, of theatres, of beautifully maintained parks dotted with modern art sculptures. It is a city with modern and fully subsidized public transport, composed of a highly technological underground, ecological buses and trains connecting the suburbs. A city with big trees, quiet corners, elegant cafes and extremely polite and lovely people. Read More

“THE POPE” A SECRET CONCLAVE with LE 7 SORELLE e "mons". Parolin invited to Bilderberg
by

Of Maurizio Blondet
Sudden interest from globalist power plants in Italy. In the same days in which the Bilderberg group gathers in Turin, in Rome, Bergoglio (The Pope) chairs a summit, which he summoned, with the Seven Sisters – to be precise, with the supreme leaders of the multinational oil companies – and their transnational financial auxiliaries. The meeting will take place on 7-10 June. Information on this enigmatic Pope-Petroleum summit is about as scarce as that on Bilderberg. The meeting is in fact defined "private”, that is, secret and by invitation.
Why El Papa “from the suburbs”, of the "welcome" of immigrants, who preaches a Church that takes "the smell of sheep", meets in private with the most powerful capitalists, globalist billionaires, i.e. active promoters of the ferocious iniquities of terminal capitalism? “Ask them”, one feels like saying, paraphrasing the slogan of 8 per Mille.
The excuse for the meeting, to read unofficial press releases, it is the common concern of the oil billionaires and El Papa for climate change. “It is one of the most highly significant developments”, shakes up the statement, “demonstrating how large corporations work with other world leaders on climate change, coinciding with President Trump's complete withdrawal from the topic of global warming".
“A year ago Trump announced his intention to withdraw America from the Paris climate pact, which today is supported by all countries except the USA. Three years ago, Pope Francis wrote his encyclical Lbold Yeson the importance of tackling climate change: a first time in the history of the Church".
It can be said well: Bergoglio's new church has replaced anxiety for the eternal salvation of souls with an anxious thirst for the salvation of the planet - threatened, as everyone knows, from that polluter that is the human race. In this, with perfect coherence, in January last year, the Vatican called to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, as speaker at the conference “Saving the natural world”, that is, to instruct Christians on their new urgent moral tasks, the entomologist Paul Ehrlich, famous promoter of selective abortion and mass sterilization to defuse what he called "the Population Bomb", the demographic bomb.

The climate, the planet to be saved in its wild areas , beasts and forests, it's an urgent concern for the intelligent left, Obviously, for the rich "progressives". And therefore also of Francesco.
The press release gives an initial list of participants, warning that it is incomplete. They will be there:

Israel takes the bait, Syria does not

Israel takes the bait, Syria does not
Source: Aurora site
Israel has repeatedly hit Syria with missiles and rockets, the most recent exchange took place after Israel declared that “Iranian rockets” had hit Israeli army positions in the Golan Heights which it illegally occupies. Titles, as ofIndependent, “Israel and Iran on the brink of war after the bombing of Syria in response to the alleged attack on the Golan Heights“, attempt to portray Israeli aggression as self-defense. L’Independent, However, it provided no evidence to confirm Israel's claims. For facade, with Iran inexplicably launching missiles against Israel, unprovoked and gaining no tactical advantage, strategic or political, the credibility of Israel's narrative is further eroded. But perhaps it is US public policy that designates Israel as a hostile provocateur charged with expanding Washington's proxy war against Damascus, to reveal the lethal and deceptive game that Israel and the Western media play. For years, US politicians have admitted in their newspapers that the US wants regime change in Iran and is trying to provoke a war to achieve it. Read More

United States and Iran: Europe to the test

United States and Iran: Europe to the test
Source: Fulvio Scaglione

The Iranian crisis, much announced and finally exploded, will test the European Union. It is not the first time that the EU has had to demonstrate its virtues, and the results were not brilliant. This, but, it could be the last because the cancellation of the Treaty signed in 2015 with the government of Hassan Rouhani it could decree the end of any attempt to give Europe a political physiognomy.

The question is very simple. According to the European Union (and also the UN and Russia, moreover), the agreement of 2015, built to block Iran's path to military nuclear power, works, Iran respects the pacts and there is no reason to cancel it after such a short time. According to the USA (and also Israel and Saudi Arabia), on the contrary, the agreement is full of holes, it offers no security guarantees and Iran lies, because he continues to try to prepare the atomic bomb.

It would be difficult to imagine a sharper difference of opinion than this. Which is furthermore broadened by questions of economic interest. The USA wants to favor traditional partners in the Persian Gulf, who are, among other things, much richer than the Iranians. Europe has a long and cordial commercial tradition with Iran, enjoyed above all by Italy and Germany. Our country is now the second largest exporter to Iran (especially mechanical and chemical industries) and the second importer (especially oil) after Germany, first in both sectors. In the 2011 commercial relationships between Italy and Iran they reached their peak, with a value of 11 billions of euros. In the 2012 sanctions, also imposed by the EU, they caused the value of a to collapse 1,3 billion, but the projections for the 2018 they talk about 3 billion, therefore we are rapidly regaining our former positions.

Iran will replace the US dollar with the euro in financial relations

Iran will replace the US dollar with the euro in financial relations.

In the midst of the currency crisis, with this change we attempt to circumvent restrictions on the accessibility of the US dollar and prevent market instability.

The Iranian Riyal has lost nearly two-thirds of its US dollar value over the past three years [Thaier al-Sudani/Reuters]

Friday's move (ndt 13 apr.) is considered part of efforts to circumvent restrictions on the accessibility of the dollar currency, as a result of tensions with Washington, as well as preventing general instability on the markets generated by fluctuations of the Iranian Rial against the dollar.

In a cabinet meeting, the government has decided that all ministries, State organizations and companies should refer to the exchange rate with the euro, which the Central Bank of Iran will have the task of communicating frequently, the IRNA news agency reported.
It is unclear when this decision will take effect, but the entrepreneurs have said that they will wait to know the implementation methods before these new conditions can take effect.
“I suppose if they use the euro as their official currency, this will reduce the psychological impact of the rial fluctuations on the dollar”, he said, ad Al Jazeera, Newsha Sheikh Soleimani, which imports raw materials for the processing of bricks and ceramics in Tehran.
“Our company operates mainly in euros, but some invoices are issued based on the rial-dollar exchange rate” but his company recently had to suspend all transactions due to uncertainty over the value of the foreign currency.
“I welcome any move that can bring stability to the foreign exchange market”.
The loss of value
Valiollah Seif, head of the Central Bank, he had already said that the use of the dollar in financial transactions is not "logical"..
Iran's trade revenue is mainly in euros due to sanctions on the US dollar, he stated. Therefore, Seif added, the country's financial reporting should use a more stable and widely used reference currency in trade.
As part of the agreement Iranian nuclear power of the 2015 with world powers, all sanctions related to Iran's controversial nuclear program have been lifted.
Despite this, due above all to persistent tensions with the United States, There are still limitations on Iran's accessibility to US currency.
These restrictions have contributed to the fall in the value of the rial against the dollar in recent months.
The dollar traded at an all-time high of 60.000 Rial last week, teasing, among Iranians, serious concerns about the stability that the President Hassan Rouhani had brought about the economy by controlling exchange rates.
Since last year, the rial lost approximately 50% of its value compared to the US currency, which some Iranians buy in large quantities as an investment in times of great economic uncertainty.
A sudden drop in the value of the Rial is expected to cause an increase in the price of imported goods and increase the inflation rate.
To control the currency crisis, the government last week froze free trade in the us currency by introducing an official rate of 42.000 rials for every dollar.
The Central Bank said it would provide dollars only to those registered to use them for specific purposes, while the free exchange of foreign currency will be deemed illegal.

Seif, Head of the Central Bank, faced lawmakers' fury last week, when he took the parliamentary podium to explain the new forex policies. He suggested to the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei the use of the euro in foreign trade to replace the US dollar.
A short term fix?

In the meantime, a currency trader told Al Jazeera that these new policies are “good news for importers and exporters”, but which have generated confusion for its business.
“Even if the government replaces the dollar with the euro, the dollar is still traded and used as an investment by many in the free market.", he said, preferring to remain anonymous.
“I hope these decisions are not just temporary measures – like a fever-reducing pill – because international restrictions on the dollar affect our economic stability”.
There have been growing concerns among Iranian businesses about a possible US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal.
US President Donald Trump should decide the 12 May if his administration confirms sanctions that were lifted as part of the nuclear deal.
He believes the deal isn't working because it doesn't address Iran's missile program, as well as its military presence in the region.
Iran says its missiles are for defensive purposes.

Gli USA contro l'Iran: a choice of field that reveals their arrogance

The USA against Iran: a choice of field that reveals their arrogance
Source: Italian Defense Magazine

All that was missing was the official status, which arrived yesterday at 20:00 Italian time. President Trump has decided to withdraw America from the Treaty with Iran on the nuclear program and to reintroduce it, we will see how later, the sanctions regime. An important decision, which follows what was promised in the election campaign, which makes the Administration hawks happy, e, above all, Israelis and Saudis, who had been pressuring Trump for months to make him withdraw from the agreement, but which dissatisfied the European allies, starting with Italy. A decision, Then, which raises the big question of America's credibility with respect to the maintenance of signed commitments and which could have significant repercussions in the future and in other geopolitical arenas. But let's go step by step. This Administration has made a precise choice of field.
It sided with the Saudis and Israelis – now practically allies – to stop the growth of Iranian influence in the Middle East which occurred through the Syrian civil war, ma, before that, let's not forget it, as a result of the removal of Saddam and the disintegration of Sunni Iraq desired by the Americans themselves in 2003. Exiting the agreement, therefore, it could signal the American intention to move from the passive containment phase of Iran to the active containment phase, Perhaps, in "roll back", or recovery of “portions” of influence within the perimeter “Persian” progressively expanded by Tehran in recent years with a pragmatic indirect strategy. For sure, Trump's decision strengthens the radical faction of the Iranian regime, which has been pressing the Supreme Leader for months to react to the continuous Israeli attacks in Syria, to the detriment of the reformist component, grappling with a serious internal economic crisis that the new sanctions would only exacerbate. And then there are the consequences for transatlantic relations. After the climate agreements, tensions over duties and trade policies, the USA once again radically distances itself from Europe which, in this case, marches in unison stating that it wants to continue to respect the agreement with Iran and claiming its functioning and benefits. A clear difference in views which demonstrates how the United States is willing to let the transatlantic relationship slide into the background when interests considered to be of primary importance are at stake, and exclusive, relevance. After all, Trump's new National Security Strategy was clear on this, as well as in underlining the change in the international scenario towards a new era of competition between powers. Right, the powers “hostile” are identified in the document with China and Russia, but reading between the lines you can also see a veiled reference to Europe – in terms of economic-industrial competition – with respect to which the USA has lost its traditional instrument of influence/interference as a result of Brexit, read the UK. The battle over the sale of the F-35 to Germany, fought openly even in the last ILA show in Berlin, it's there to prove it. In the end, no less important, the plan of consequences for Italy. Rome and Tehran are linked by solid commercial relations, never interrupted even in the darkest years of Khomeinism, and that with the partial removal of the sanctions regime they had blossomed again, in different sectors: from the energy one, to that of infrastructure. Trump's decision affects them again.

Israel and the subversion of every international balance

Israel and the subversion of every international balance
Source: Paolo Sensini
Israel once again confirms itself as one of the major vectors of instability in the Near and Middle East: not only did he support the jihadist cutthroats of al-Nusra (al-Qaeda in Syria) on the Golan Heights for its own strategic calculations, but has carried out hundreds of missile attacks and provocations against Syrian neighbors since the beginning of the so-called Arab Spring in 2011. The last of which was carried out on 8 May with the launch of missiles against a Syrian base on the southern outskirts of the countryi Damasco. But now that in Syria his plans to subvert the Assad regime have hit the wall, Israel wants to reopen another war front against Iran at all costs. With what reasons? Simple, because as Prime Minister Netanyahu illustrated, the Islamic republic is carrying out a nuclear development program. But there is no concrete evidence to support this thesis, except for a certain number of materials stolen by the Mossad from an Iranian government warehouse dating back to that period 1999-2003. Thus a possible military attack on the country of the Ayatollahs would have a good chance of turning out to be a new edition of what happened with weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. From this point of view, President Trump's unilateral decision to terminate the international agreement on the Iranian nuclear power, which, moreover, never led to the end of sanctions against the Islamic Republic by the United States, it is a seal of the Israeli maneuver. In the midst of this political-media saraband that threatens to drag the world into the abyss, however, there is something left unsaid that Western countries, but also Israel's Islamic allies in the region such as Saudi Arabia, they certainly don't dream of reporting: i.e. that the Jewish State has built an atomic arsenal of approximately 250 nuclear warheads, all in absolute silence and without allowing its laboratories to ever be inspected by the International Atomic Energy Agency (DEBT). But the problem is always the arsenals of the “others”, without even a shred of concrete proof, never those in possession of the Israelis. In short, yet another scene in which the ox says cuckold to the donkey. But by dint of playing with fire, it can happen that you get burned. E, if you look closely, we're not that far away.
