Cara Lilli Gruber, but how can Italians trust you if you write about itSet a comment with a title like that: “All populists lie. They are dangerous and opportunistic"? And the title faithfully responds to the development. He knows he's offending three-quarters of his viewers?
Like the 60% I feel like one of the Italians right now, with all the critical reservations that I do not hide, more on the side of the populists than their enemies. And I'm not just offended by his definition, how hurt by Italian, as a journalist and free thinker. I would never use a statement like that even for the worst enemies; I would distinguish, I wouldn't feel in possession of the truth. I don't bet on the success of this government, I say it every day. And it surprises me that the one attacking in that way is the one who was generous with the Grillini and their sponsors, to the point that often – even the other day with the embarrassing, rambling, Dibba's rant – gave the impression of being Grilli Uber. I don't hold the inconsistency against you, they are his business, I know that grillini are fine for her if they hang to the left, if instead they ally themselves with Salvini they become bad. There are people who still divide humanity into fascists and anti-fascists, and reality is lost, the present, the world, 70 years of history, communism even.
Through her, actually, I take it out on the media, the Press and TV which are offering a disgusting and desolating spectacle: the Italians on one side and them united on the side of the establishment. I wouldn't have expected the opposite but at least a variety of positions and the ability to distinguish and analyze; someone equidistant, someone else who understands people's reasons, someone who recognizes pieces of truth in the opponent. No, Nothing, a Chinese army, monolithic, monotonous. Like in war. Read More

House of intolerance
by

FIFTH COLUMN
Of Marcello Veneziani
The left it is today the main house of intolerance functioning at full capacity. Although defeated at the polls and a minority in the country, he exercises his intolerance on the living and the dead, on the elected and those not aligned with political correctness, uses the past as a weapon to attack the present, places vetoes and prohibitions, threatens those who express different opinions by presenting them as crimes, thanks to ad hoc laws that date back to its governments. He uses the shock troops of the media and the armored forces of the magistrates to put his enemies in check and outlawed. It is a house of intolerance that instigates ideological prostitution.
The reflection came to me yesterday following a small but yet another significant episode. They called me from Rai to ask me to participate in a program on right, extremism and intolerance. Pay attention to the theme, already says it all. They wanted me to make the right salami in a left sandwich, having a theme that already suggests the solution. We talk about the right and the association of ideas becomes a criminal association. Yet the right is politically the majority in the country, the right is historically a sense of the State and the Nation, the right is culturally tradition and civilization, order and security.

That sinister metamorphosis
by

That sinister metamorphosisOf Alessio Trovato
Source: Sputnik
I think the generation aged forty and over remembers it. Once upon a time there was a left that talked about Palestine, he criticized capitalism, he abhorred imperialism, he fought for the rights of workers and the weakest, he wanted a strong state, authoritative, capable of defending all social classes and providing services. Then at a certain point…
At a certain point you open the newspapers and read: “Populism is right, la peggiore destra. The one against which a gentleman like John McCain fought to the end.”
Meaning what, at a certain point that left one disappeared. In its place a 'left' has appeared’ which speaks of globalization as the Holy Grail, he is neoliberal like no one before, bombs Belgrade with NATO without UN resolution, sanctions Russia and Syria without going through Parliament, it fixates on civil rights and completely forgets social ones, Calls Soros a 'philanthropist', we hope for greater controls and censorship on social media, he talks about democracy and freedom of expression but if you vote as you like he calls you a populist, if you talk about national sovereignty he calls you a fascist and a racist if you worry about border defense.
And cry McCain. On the contrary, he explains to you that he fought alongside you, he was the one who defended you from the right because he was the one who, in case of need, could help you organize yet another color revolution against your political enemy. Therefore losing not only your own identity but also that of your true adversary. Read More

The structural crisis of the media system

The structural crisis of the media system
Source: The Antidiplomat
E’ There is a radical crisis in the Western media system underway, within an overall transformation of the political system of a global and epochal nature(1). The center of propagation of the earthquake is in the USA, but it also has its resonance in Italy, which could become an important laboratory at European level, in which new structures could be tested to cope with the ongoing upheaval. The earthquake, at the moment, It has the appearance of a bradyseism, with constant instability made up of daily controversies that go beyond the lines, but it could erupt into more dramatic movements. The transformation of social geography is already underway, What remains to be seen are the solutions implemented to deal with them. The crisis could result in a new system in which formal democratic guarantees could disappear, which could be the easy "solution" to the crisis of the "left", now more and more often mentioned (one example among many: Jason Brennan's book, “against democracy” which had a preface by Sabino Cassese, In the 2013 one of the PD candidates for the presidency of the Republic), or in a new system that instead exploits the potential of new means for a restructuring of democracy aimed at a different mass involvement, indispensable in the management of complex companies like ours.
The main factors of crisis in the media system, seen within the overall crisis of the political system are, first of all, the end of the “era of globalization”, actually a fairly short and transitory period, ended with Russia's return to the field, and with the definitive affirmation of China as a global power. The failure of globalization requires a radical rethinking of political strategies and the ideologies associated with them. The so-called “globalization” was that short period, if commensurate with historical times, in which the USA, at the head of the “Western countries”, when the USSR was already showing an irreversible crisis, they thought they could become the only world power. Context in which a globalist ideology was formed and became dominant based on political correctness, which we start symbolically with the "Live aid" of 1985 in which the Western world proclaimed through its "stars": “We are the world”.

Berlusconi achieved sixty-eight?

Berlusconi achieved sixty-eight?
Source: Heretically
The small bookstores and street bouquinistes are precious. Old editions can be found from them, books that were thought to be out of print, authors and texts from small publishers, garrison of freedom. Visiting a bookshop in the historic center of a small town we came across a little book of a few pages written in 2011 by the philosopher and art historian Mario Perniola, passed away recently. The title is intriguing, The text is interesting and can be read in one go: Berlusconi or '68 realized...
The thesis of the intellectual from Asti is that the Knight would be proof of the success of the anthropological revolution triggered by the ideas, Parisian and Californian, of the 1968. Strange indeed that the heterodox positions of a few thinkers are considered reactionary, together with powerful but isolated voices accused of "Rossobrunism" (Costanzo Preve) are accepted in some way, or at least revisited, by a figure like that of Perniola. Already a left-wing extremist, close to the Situationist International in his youth until his personal friendship with Guy Debord, subsequently historian and philosopher of art on very critical positions of post modernity, enemy of “weak thinking”, protagonist of heated controversies with Gianni Vattimo, presents a surprising thesis and not without a certain charm. The knight of Arcore would be, in the vision of Luigi Pareyson's student, the one who achieved what 1968 had supported.
As an insider of the movement (Perniola was born in 1941 and began to intervene in the cultural debate in the mid-1950s 60) he sees in the figure of Berlusconi “that will to power, that ranting triumphalism, that extreme desire to destabilize the whole of society which pervaded 1968. End of work and family, deschooling, destruction of the university, deregulation of sexuality, counter-culture, and discredit of medical expertise and collapse of healthcare facilities, hostility towards judicial institutions considered repressive, youthful vitalism, triumph of mass media communication, oblivion of stories and spontaneous presentism, all this has now become reality.” Read More

The death of investigative journalist Bechir Rabani now appears to be on the way to being archived, who had infiltrated violent left-wing groups such as antifa and was found dead in December 2017, shortly after filing complaints about globalist financier George Soros' covert funding of these organizations.
Bechir Rabani, 33 years, of Palestinian origin, with Swedish passport, he was an independent journalist and blogger well known in Sweden for his investigations and revelations about collusion between the high finance sectors and pro-immigration organizations operating in Europe. Some of his investigations had sparked reactions and attacks from the globalist left and from the official media who accused him of "conspiracy".
His friends had written about him ""Bechir was a stubborn fighter who hoped for justice and who without hesitation defended all those who could not or did not dare. We will remember Bechir for his energy, his driving force and not least for his work”. Read More

The new horizons of the Italian Parliament
by

of the Prof. Roberto de Mattei

The Conte government has obtained confidence, by a wide margin, in the House and Senate, but above all it was born with broad popular support. In fact, the polls attribute this to the two political forces that express it, Five Stars and League, about the 60% of suffrages. However, no government like this has been opposed by almost all of the Italian mass media.
Antonio Socci has well described this "universal prejudice" above Libero (3 June), while Marco Travaglio, are The Daily Fact (6 June), published a long anthology of the heavy judgments reserved for the nascent government by almost all the newspapers, left and right.
Conte was accused of being a «friend of the people like Marat» (Corriere della Sera, 18 maggio) and to prepare «a Venezuelan future» for Italy (The Sheet 16 maggio). «There is an Italian case in the West», wrote the director of The Press (27 maggio), while for the director of Republic, «the mixture of inexperience, improvisation and arrogance will not take long to emerge. Fasten your seat belts» (2 June).
This ideological factionalism has translated into violent intolerance towards the new Minister of the Family, Lorenzo Fontana, guilty of speaking out in favor of the natural family, protected by the article 29 of the Constitution, of having detected the existence of a demographic crisis in Italy and of having participated in the March for Life of 19 maggio.
