Rays resurrected

FIFTH COLUMN
Of Marcello Veneziani

“The fact does not constitute a crime”, the court acquitted Virginia Raggi. We are happy for her on a human level and respect the sentence, thinking that Raggi should be condemned not on a judicial level but on a political and citizen level, for the evil he is doing in Rome and which is there for all to see. The only problem with this trial and this sentence is that it risks strengthening and locking down a disastrous mayor. It was a boomerang to process her, because he gave a judicial image clearance to a terrible and largely unpopular mayor.
Virginia Raggi achieved an unprecedented miracle: within two years it managed to make right-wing mayors regret it, left, center and technicians. Even bad ones. But not only that: after her, the call for a future mayor who is not Roman grows among the Romans. They are so burned and scared of the fellow citizen they would rather have, as well as a pope also a foreign mayor, Martian, Korean, Japanese. In short, a samurai, un kamikaze.
'Raggi succeeded, she is a grillina and therefore a supporter of the public sector, to convince even the most avid supporters of public transport of the need to privatize Atac, to take it away from the devastating hands of the public. Under her, the perfect failure of a company that at the same time loses money has arrived, offers disservices, It has a record absenteeism rate, sows discontent among its employees, deploys obsolete and never punctual vehicles with a frightening impact on traffic, on citizens, on students going to school.

L'antifascismo dei cretini
by

FIFTH COLUMN
Of Marcello Veneziani
We have always had patience with idiots who are not evil and with evil but intelligent ones. However, we can't have it with bad idiots, maybe originally just idiots who then turned bad or just bad people then turned stupid. But they grew out of all proportion and got worse. I'm talking about the new anti-fascism, autumn-winter collection, that feeds on fascistometers to measure the degree of fascism that is in each of us and instructions for (non) become fascists, of fake Anpi that wave anti-fascism also the 4 November, no longer made up of partisans but of militants of perennial hatred; and then of mobilizations, demonstrations and mischief, conveyed by newspapers, newscasts, talk shows and many institutional stickers. Like that Cool guy who alternates declarations of anti-fascism with surreal declarations of love regarding the rapes and massacres of drug-migrants. For him, violence is fought with love, as the most unlucky flower children said half a century ago. He's getting there now, fifty years later and about something as terrible as the fatal rape of a little girl.
We tolerated the old anti-fascism fogey, trombone, a bit of manner. We were even able to tolerate a resulting anti-fascism, violent, intolerant, extremist. As long as it concerns the agitated lunatics of the social centers, of some feminist in ideological heat or with fasciophobic hotties, or of scattered idiots of grillism and old leftism, we got over it.

How to betray November IV
by

FIFTH COLUMN
Of Marcello Veneziani
After a year of masochistic commemorations to self-mortify, the day finally arrived when we are forced to remember the Victory and its centenary. There he is, il 4 November, On the contrary on November 4th, Fatherland Day. But you will have already heard how that anniversary is transformed into the Official Story told by presidents, ministry, media and professors: Victory disappears, the Nation as well, to the Homeland only a timid puff of powder and the fallen are spoken of as poor victims of nationalism and their leaders. The rest will be all a celebration of peace, dell’Europa, of humanity with the implication that heroes and victims of war have fallen in vain, for a bloody illusion.
The memory of the Great War is exactly reversed: it becomes the celebration of Europe and the mortification of nations identified in nationalism. But the historical truth says exactly the opposite: the First World War was the funeral of Europe and the triumph of Italy, although mutilated.
From that conflict Europe in fact emerged ruined and weakened, it was no longer the center of the world, it lost the Central Powers that were its backbone, the world began to divide between the American West and the communist East, crushing Europe in the middle or relegating it to the periphery. Communism was born from that conflict and then the reaction to it, German frustration was born which led to Nazism, fascism was born. With the Second World War, the decline of Europe started by the first reached its epilogue. The eyes of the pacifist ideology do not want to see the tragic and glorious reality of that event.

Pound, the unforgivable

Pound, the unforgivable
If I think about November 1st 1972, when he died Ezra Pound, A black gondola appears in my eyes as it carries the poet's body in a sober chestnut coffin on its final journey to the Island of San Michele.; his thin, curved, hieratic body, his head framed in a mythical white crown on his head and around his face, which shone in the sun like a hieratic aura. Every time I go to Venice I can't separate what I see from what I remember, every gondola seems to me to preserve the memory of him, the remains of the mad poet, who loved Italy and its tradition, Dante and Cavalcanti.
For days we have been talking insistently about Pound in relation to current events, indeed to political-judicial news. They are indignant that a movement like CasaPound he “appropriated” that name. And, for goodness sake, Ezra Pound House cannot be a besieged fort or an alternative social center for young political militants; but let's remember into which house Pound was forced by the beautiful democratic and Western world: the Pisan cage of a concentration camp, the Saint Elizabeth criminal asylum… Of course, the real Pound House is not a closed place, it is the sea of ​​Venice, the city of art and poetry like Florence, the glorious sky of Rome.

The '68 as it has never been…inverted. A critical reading with Marcello Veneziani
by


 
Of Nicola Zanotto
“'68 created children and even grandchildren. He came to power and became mass conformism, On the contrary, standard of living. It has created clichés and new prejudices, ideological codes, to be respected implacably in order to be admitted to one's own time, come il politically correct”
The healing properties of Tempo are now a consolidated object of that science of "feel common” which so much of the world's population relies on, some due to forgetfulness of love and some simply to remove a bad period. Distracted (by itself, as always), Even Politics is not immune to it.
Here's why, a 50 years from a dream imagined by "nightmarish" people, you can afford to redesign and compare, even if only for just one evening (cit.), what would still be the same about our current society...overturning '68.
The initial quote is the son of the most aware and always effective Marcello Veneziani, next guest of the series of cultural and informative meetings signed People.
The Hall of the Unified Army Club, area Castelvecchio, tomorrow will therefore see the philosopher as the protagonist, essayist and journalist, from hours 21.
Moderators of the meeting will be city ​​councilor Andrea Bacciga e Carlo Barbessi of the nations.

Raibelli

FIFTH COLUMN
Of Marcello Veneziani
There is one emergency among others in Italy, not the most important, God forbid, but perhaps the most conspicuous. AND the monopoly of the public narrative, an indecent spectacle. State information, and a large part of the private one, every day he churns out a one-sided version of the facts according to the ideological-political canon of the left. Even now that the left does not govern and represents a highly minority share of Italian citizens. On the contrary, the collapse of consensus and credibility accentuates rather than attenuates the bias of information, also to establish an alibi in advance: the nominees want to be seen as victims of purge when new appointments are made, given that the political shareholder of reference who has always appointed the top management has changed. And so for preventive purposes they increase the doses of their factionalism to then pass as martyrs of the Idea and the Profession. Read More
