Will survive democracy in Italy? The experiment, the thesis
After a good breath of relief for the intelligence of American people (at last freed from subjection to a policy of imperial stupidity, swollen breasts of nothing), I return to explain to my American friends what happens in Italy. In my opinion, of course: the views are always personal views.
But what matter the events of that small corner of the world called Italia? At most could be amused curiosity. Uhm, this is the error I did myself for a long time, but now I’m believing there is much more, observing carefully.
Indeed I believe that Italy is the vanguard of a historic experiment if cancelling the democracy, not through a tested coup d’etat, for which more or less solid counter-defenses exist in all countries, but through the control and deformation of information. Not the fascist dictatorship, but the Big Brother regime of Orwell, the fascination rather than repression. In next posts I will try to prove the thesis.
I’m saying that Italy is the vanguard of the experiment, the paradigmatic model, because there are signs that suggest similar attempts elsewhere, unfortunately, although less advanced. Especially in the evil, Italy often was teacher.
Who knows Berlusconi, could accept the thesis for Italy, but definitely reject for other countries. Alright, I want to speak about Italy, but simply let us think to the enormous amount of money, spent to save those who were behind the global financial crisis, especially comparing it with little invested to help common families. Some democratic government or central bank asked you if were in agreement with the two measures?
Much for guilty financial companies, small for those who missed first and now pay! And was your money through taxes. Is it democracy?
- It’s to save jobs!
What? Yours or those of the masters of global finance?
See you later, friends! Italy is not the only Banana Republic.
Republicans best? Georgia, They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?
Not often happens in history that a State is free of historic enemy without even firing a rifle coup. This happened to USA with URSS, and I recognize this in a great merit to the old Ronald Regan, a Republican President. The best for US politics was the fact that Russian President Eltsin was so plagiarized from American advisers of the Free Market of s..t, to destroy the country respecting the theory for. Elstins was the champion of talebans saying: When the reality contradicts the theory, so much the worse for reality.
Alright, the ineffable George W Bush did the miracle to rise Russia from dead. Without obscuring merits of Putin, the senseless policy of wars without construct in Iraq and Afghanistan, morover lost, pushing the price of a barrel of oil through the roof, have provided the fuel for the rebirth of an armed power.
Alright, the knife-edged minds of George and Condoleeza continued to play with russian bear Putin. In Italy the berlüsca deluded himself to be the balance needle by virtue of being the court jester of both part, but this mettered to anyone. The problem for Putin was that a big power without the chance to show around may be ignored. He needed a chance, and Bush needed not giving it.
In the meanwhile bursts the Georgia affair.
I don’t rule out that President Mikheil SAAKASHVILI can be an idiot, but if he believed to close with the force the Abkhazia and South Ossetia problems, without Putin reacted and strongly, was too much idiot; uhm, not to this point, not humanly possible. He must be reassured by his advisers of Freedom House:
- US government will never leave you in canvas slings!
US government, after the modest evidence of his weapons in Afghanistan and Iraq, can’t even assure his own country, more than a distant Georgia, and terribly close to Russia. So Putin had his chance to show what can do, bombing since Tbilisi, thank to stupid politics of the actual Republican Administration.
Now Putin has a country behind him, strong of displayed weapons, and displayed willing of using, while when Bush took the Presidency, he had a country to pieces, with former Red Army soldiers growing potatoes in the barracks to eat.
My compliments to sagacy of Republican Administrations.

Will survive democracy in Italy? The dark side of the country
And now? I’m too sad for my Romano Prodi, maybe the only italian who try since many years, with intelligence and passion, to get a normal country from this slob Italy. After having started a strong rehabilitation of public accounts, wonderful in less than two years. Who’s sin?
The great sin is Mastella, who sold himself to Berlüsca, to save his ass and his wife’s from legal trouble.
The great sin is our leftist talibans, always disdaining first steps in name of mythical Earthly Paradise.
The great sin is Berlüsca, who falses a correct democracy with too much money and too much power on free information, and now will return full of revenge and greed to plunder improved accounts, for his personal insatiable gain and his gang.
The great sin is the Italian Catholic Church, which since last electoral campain had preferred the bad Berlüsca to good christian Prodi, betraying the God of our honest worker fathers for a condoned ICI and shabby god Berlüsca. I’ll leave their churches in name fo that God, have them full of berlüscas.
The great sin are Democratic Party leaders, thinking the Romano Prodi’s presence too cumbersome for the Berlüsca’s promise of government of large cartels, in particular Walter Veltroni and Massimo D’Alema. The promise of this tycoon was only to weaken Prodi;
Berlüsca is always ready to break his promise. If they cannot understand this easy fact, why they do politics? Berlüsca’s reasoning is: Why negotiate with PD a new voter law, when I can win with this and then change all to my own pleasure?
The great sin is my nation, which maybe not worth saving from itself, little foxes whose most favoured sentence is: Provided that fits myself. Maybe we have a bad god who get us in the black hole of constant emergency.
Alright, maybe now my soul is too sad and bitter, but I’m too old for waiting always the next chance. While the poor Martin Luther King could say I have a dream, I’m tired to say: I had a dream.

Will survive democracy in Italy? For whom the bell tolls
John Donne and Ernest Hemingway may have mercy on my arrogance using their sentence, but it’s so suited to the moment. In these hours the bell tolls, not for Romano Prodi, but for Italy.
Romano is last chance being a normal country, but perhaps we don’t like to be a normal country. We prefer the sad jokes and trivial of Berlüsca, this tycoon petty and cheating, eager only for his own business, and now of revenge.
God save Italy by him and by stupid Italians. But perhaps there is no hope, He too is with berlüsca. But a day He must give me the reason, and I’ll not be a lenient judge.

Will survive democracy in Italy? Chaos time?
Maybe we are near to change government, a jump in the darkness as never before. Because there is no sensible alternative with the current numbers in parliament, unless the Pierferdi Casini (UDC) is not prepared to govern with Communist Refoundation. Blasphemy, but not excludable in advance when it comes to Italy.
After many smoky empty talks, in fact the only obstacle to mess is the presence of Romano Prodi, to remove which, I believe, they are willing to ally also with Trozkij and Stalin. Because Romano is the symbol you can win against Berlüsca. In addition to the reasons I mentioned on time ago, I think being in action a profound impulse.
As potatoes, all our best is under the ground, and in ancient Roman Republic, precisely our best, the elected assignments lasted one year. The government stinks a year later. Also Berlüsca government, with all its parliamentary numbers, has progressed from a verification and another, you don’t foget.
And then, we must admit, we don’t like the hard work of gradual accommodation, better illusions and jokes. Romano, if you want to take, tell the Italians a few vulgar jokes occasionally.
