Happy New Year Bloggers

Dear Bloggers, this post is for you. Excluding myself, of course. Today I speak as a reader and as such I would like to tell you something. Let me tell you that you have my admiration . It is not easy, every day, to open the PC and stand in front of the screen to come up with something that is interesting and very original, but it must also be current and captivating, because who reads the post gets to the end and maybe reads something else, until even to subscribe to the feed and that even approve it, yes, the votes and visits on the counter grow, until it burst with joy. Joy that lasts up until the sunset, since the aftermath everything begins again. Let me tell you that you have my respect . You have it when you decide not to talk about yourself and give your keyboard and your time to someone else, to the facts that count, to people that you think should be listened and to everything that applies. You do not imagine how it is important today, in our country. Let me tell you...

Iran and Italy, dictatorships comparison

Iran is considered a bridge between Arab and Asian worlds, although it does not fully belong to neither. Italy has always been the USA bridgehead in Europe, although they officially part of that continent. Iran 's official religion is Islam. Italy also has an official religion, Catholicism. But not everyone knows that to have an official religion is not obligatory. In fact, many countries do not have and seem to survive the same... In Iran there is a Supreme Leader, the highest religious leader, whose opinion determines the choice of candidates for president and parliament. In Italy , the head of state religion is the Pope, whose opinion should not officially influence anything in political life, but in the real world… In Iran , even today, women do not enjoy all their rights. The Supreme Leader said that they should not start a political career, since the meaning of their existence is to stay at home looking after children. In Italy no political or religious lead...

Letter from Santa Claus to Italy

Dear Italians, first of all I would like to thank you for the huge amount of letters you sent me. However, I have to break with tradition and write myself. However, the fact is that you was first to violate the rules. Yes, because the Christmas letter is for children and one for each. Then how is it possible that almost half a billion envelopes arrived?! You are only sixty million and the most elderly... Nevertheless, since I am an easygoing person, the most easygoing man in the world, I started to read them all. Because of you, I almost did not have time to prepare gifts for the Swiss and you know how much they get angry if you are late. By the way, can someone tell me why this year they have asked so many models of minarets? Anyways, let's get back to the point. As I told you I read the five hundred million letters and I was really surprised... Someone asked me to give him a house, because he is no longer able to shiver in a cold tent. Someone asked me to make safe...

Climate conference and bad weather...

Stories and News No. 81 The Story: This post is for us common people. It is for people like me, one as many. Let's start saying that my name is Mario, Mario Rossi. That is the name of an ordinary person, an average man. I am still paying my house; I have an underpaid and insecure job, a temporary work, a irrevocably determined time employment. Time... The weather changed so quickly this time. I'm cold. It is cold, no jokes, but it is useless to tell you, you perfectly know all I know. You are like me. I will not say anything original here. As many, I watch TV and read so little. What? I should read more? Who said that?! It must have been some intellectual teacher who knows nothing of the real problems and tries to instruct others to live. It is easy to read when you have nothing to do, when you have a lot of time to spend. Time... If I had time, maybe I would also read it, who knows. But I watch the TV News. I am ever interested to know what happens in the ...

For the good of the country...

Stories and News No. 80 The Story: Another exclusive scoop for the blog! The greatest world expert of coded messages, Hyam Notstoopeed , reveals what is hidden in the following phrase of Berlusconi, I will go for the good of the country : As I wrote in my essay Theory of the cheat ( Caughton Editions ), political leaders are used to communicate each other with very simple sentences in code, with two or three words. They do it publicly, with official statements. Apparently, the recipients are people, but truth is that - as I fully described in my other book Only the stupids still believe them ( Cheated and Happy Editions ) - the politician is sending a message to someone, who knows well the true meaning of those words. My latest discovery has to do with Italy, to which the essay Theory of the cheat devotes an entire chapter. Thanks to my sophisticated techniques of semantic analysis, I found the secret words by which your politicians are sending each other coded messages: ...

30 billion of tax evasion…

...and 8.2% of unemployment rate. Although I knew, since I learned to read , that I would have followed the road of writing , I decided to study at university the art of calculating . Remembering this, I tried to review the past week paying attention to the numbers , to better understand where my country is going, by a serious and concrete point of view. Without useless talks, because, as everybody knows, mathematics is not an opinion : Monday, December 14: Berlusconi will remain in hospital another 36 hours; the doctors declare that he will not return to work for at least 10 days. Important news, is it right? He is the real star in the focal point of the media, the primary target of web, the favourite topic of all, from Left to Right, isn’t it? Tuesday, December 15: Italy is 13 th in the EU GDP ranking. All major European economies, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Holland and also Spain are over Italy. But we rejoice the same: we are before Greece and Cyprus! Wedn...

Italians hate Romanians? Here is why...

Stories and News No. 79 In recent years in Italy and the rest of Europe racism has become ever more a serious problem. Indeed, when an ignorant person is throwing out his madness he seems to be many, when the clever one talks, no one hears. Web and moreover social networks are a truly perfect house for the hate sellers. In particular, some of them say and make actions against Romanians. I ask myself: why Romanians? If you search the net you may find this kind of racist remarks: Romanians steal . So I replied: what about Italians? Are they all honest? Romanians do not respect women . Well, do you think Italians are all gentlemen? Really? Romanians come here and take our job. Everyone must stay at his home . And what about Italian emigrants? So I start to reflect on it, until today, when I read an interesting Eurostat survey. Poll says that regarding immigrants from member countries in Europe chart, Romanians are the first in the rank, with one million and se...

Berlusconi aggression: last resort

Stories and News No. 78 The Story: The career of a politician may be hard. Everything is magnified and becomes inevitably larger than what it really is. Ups and downs, all are monstrously exaggerated. Thus, after periods of bright fame, he can slip into a dark without end tunnel. Enemies everywhere, even among friends, in the family too. Bloodthirsty judges are eager of sinking their fangs on his meat. Adverse newspapers are sadistically ready to put the pen in the wounds of his last debacle. And the merciless line on the chart that matters suddenly begins to decline. That is the time we arrive… We are the last chance for deputies in crisis. We are the deus ex machina for the party leader on the ropes. We are the cavalry that saves surrounded Senator. Dear politicians, smile, because the comeback is still possible. Do you want to see that fundamental line returning magically up? We can help you. Obviously there is a price and it will not be painless. However, you kn...

Berlusconi punched: Italy closes the violent sites…

Among them there is the closing of websites guilty of fomenting violence. What a commendable initiative. I am glade to name a few: There are those who never miss an opportunity to bring in the so-called Islamic terrorism... Title : Jihad and antagonists: here are who threaten the Premier There are those who persistently do not respect who thinks differently... Title: The No Berlusconi Day is the greatest shame Some made the feeding of fear as their mission… Title: Christmas gift: the bullet-proof vest Someone without an enemy to hate has no reason to exist... Title: Destabilization in Italy: enemy across the border? And there are those who should be ashamed to accuse someone else of inciting to violence... Title: Stop to this tone of political terrorism Share the post:

Berlusconi attack: the lesson of the crowd

Story and News No. 77 The Story: My name is crowd . My name is crowd, but you call me in a thousand other ways. I become the population if you would like to see me united and compact. I am the people in your speech, while you think I am not present. The citizens … this is the way you call me when you simulate to worry about my rights. You define me even the country , most of the time without having the courage to look me in the eyes. So, I have a lot of names, as many attempts to convince you to have control over me. The crowd... Many like you, too many, have been deceived in the centuries. They were all males and perhaps it is no coincidence. For a while, it seems that things are going in the way they like, that I am totally enslaved, as a mesmerized beast. It is a banality. Looks can be deceiving and then it comes the time I go away, showing the reality for what it is. My name is crowd and I applaud, cheer, adore, but do not ever mistake it for love. I follow yo...
