Stories and News No. 205 Well, this is a week of important acquittals. According to Minzolini’s Tg1 the first is for mafia’s friend Marcello Dell’Utri . And now we have Massimo Tartaglia, the man who attacked Berlusconi, acquitted because declared unfit to stand trial. He will remain in a therapeutic community for a year, with the prohibition on participating in public events. " This ruling prompted great preoccupation and perplexity... " People of Freedom spokesman Daniele Capezzone said. In my opinion, it prompts especially preoccupation. I think that if Berlusconi has enjoyed the acquittal of Dell'Utri and - unless surprises from the Court of Cassation – he will embrace him once more in just seven years , after one year Tartaglia will be back in circulation. Not to mention all the other mental sufferers that live in Italy… The Story: Berlusconi is in danger . That's not a test. It’s not a joke, because you cannot joke with madness. It jokes with you. And you ne...

Stories and News No. 204 According to the appeals court PdL senator Marcello Dell'Utri had dealings with the Mafia since the seventies at least until the day of the murder of Falcone and Borsellino in 1992. For this reason he was sentenced to seven years imprisonment. This news confirms the doubts and suspicions that have been born in me at the time of the first instance of the trial. I know, you will think I’m crazy, but I cannot anymore keeping me in this weight. I need to vent… The Story: I have a theory. I know it's mad, but I must speak, or I will burst. In my opinion, between Silvio Berlusconi and the Mafia there is a link . I understand this is a strong statement and quite risky. Call it pure political fiction. However, try to follow me a moment. Indulge me. Marcello Dell'Utri was found guilty of having been connected with the Mafia in the second grade of trial, particularly from the 70s to '92. Now, Dell'Utri in 1974 entered into a society called Edilnord...

Stories and News No. 203 "Italy lost the World Cup and gets angry with me," Berlusconi's government symbol Minister Aldo Brancher complains. It seems that the impeded minister will no longer be able to legitimate his impediment and on July 5 he should therefore appear in front of the court at his trial. However, as Senator Stefano Ceccanti insinuated, Minister Brancher’s reverse is not due to a sudden surge of institutional sensitivity or accuracy. "If the court had decided to consider the legitimate impediment exceptionable," the Senator says, "and if, as yesterday the defense of Brancher had announced, the Prime Minister had proposed allocation’s conflict before the Constitutional Court, the latter could blow the law up as unconstitutional already in October, leaving for a year Berlusconi, pending the constitutional Lodo Alfano, without a shield." Oh, but is everything in this government related to him? What's behind? Of course, I ask what'...

Stories and News No. 202 In my country many things happen today… It happens that a man named Aldo Brancher is investigated for handling stolen goods. It happens that, after Bancopoli scandal in July 2005, Brancher is investigated for receiving stolen goods because the prosecutor has identified an account belonging to his wife with a gain of 300 thousand euros in two years. On June 18, after five years, it happens that Berlusconi makes this man Minister for the Implementation of Administrative and Fiscal Federalism . Then, it happens that on June 26 the judges will wait for him. It happens that Brancher says he will not occur because he has to organize his recent new ministry. And it happens that he can do thanks to the legitimate impediment law , approved this year. But in Italy it doesn’t happen just that... The Story: In my country it also happens that in the province of Caserta a 44 years old man, unemployed and separated from his wife, surrenders to despair and shots in the s...

Stories and News No. 201 Who is Sonnet Ehlers? And what she did? She invented the Rape-aXe, the Anti-rape condom with teeth, here's what she did. Who is Neil Van Schalkwyk? He’s the inventor of vuvuzelas, and apologizes for his creation, but admits to be getting rich. I have always admired the inventors. They are a little bit like the writers: they pull something out that was not there before and that changes people's lives. For better or for worse, I leave you to judge. I also invented something that I hope you will find interesting. I am sure that in country like Italy would be very useful… The Story: It’s time to defend ourselves! It's absurd that today citizens of a country like Italy are still victims of buggering. When will they be able to defend themselves? When will we worry about their violated behinds? Never, it seems to be! It seems there is always a most important issue to be addressed in parliament. I know that. The most buggers are there! Eyes filled with t...

Stories and News No. 200 There are many ways to share news. One is Pomigliano says yes to Marchionne . Another is Pomigliano says yes to the Fiat plan , but the meaning is the same. Another, trying to watch a classic half full glass, is No plebiscite in Pomigliano . You could also say that the referendum result is not about a more or less unanimous victory for the yes, but rather the consequence of a old strategy: divide et impera . Indeed, divide and fuck . But it would be a too free statement for a newspaper that lives with governments funding. Maybe that’s the reason why I found so difficult to find the agreement text on national press. Anyway, I thought of proposing an agreement too. Divide et impera plan doesn’t work only with workers… The Story: Get twenty managers. For example, take the twenty highest-paid manager in Italy: 1° Carlo Puri Negri (Executive Vice President of Pirelli Re): € 14,000,000 2° Claudio De Conto (CEO of Pirelli): € 7,337,000 3 ° Marco Tronchetti Provera...

Stories and News No. 199 " Padania doesn’t exist ," Chamber of Deputies President Gianfranco Fini said. " It's a happy propagandist invention ." WTF! I risked an infarct. How is it possible? I can’t believe… Padania does not exist? Is it just a propagandist invention?! No! They have a newspaper, La Padania. They also have a radio to cheer against Italy. Come on… If it were true, then I would really start to doubt everything… No, it’s false. The Story: It’s false. Padania exists. So, would you make me believe that Democratic Party young supporters don’t like the word compagni ? How do they prefer to be called? Camerati !? No, I don’t accept this. Padania exists, the television said a billion times. No, you do not convince me, I’m not so stupid. Maybe now you come to tell me that there are people and unions in Pomigliano who went to the streets to defend their managers… You cannot kid me. Padania exists; otherwise they would not have elected Miss Padania, right...

Stories and News No. 198 Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe is under investigation for corruption. He got respect and solidarity from the Vatican. Those of unconditionally trust to all under investigation friends didn’t invent anything. However, I’m not here to point the finger on the prelate. About my last post on the case of cocaine in the Union of Christians Democrats, I was accused of profiteering and I will not give any help to some other mischievous to avoid the problem. What problem? You choose. What I will do is simply to compare the lives of two men, two priests of the same church. None of us here has the right to judge, apart from the judiciary. But it is essential to form a based on facts opinion… The Story: Once upon a time there were two men. One was named Crescenzio and the other Andrea . The latter was born in Genoa in July 1928. The second came to the world years later, in June of '43, in Carinaro, in the province of Caserta. Andrea was immediately attracted to the spirit...

Stories and News No. 197 The trust is an important thing in everyone's life. I don’t know about you, but I'm not a person who easily trusts the others. Time ago yes, but then, after the years, the disappointments I have got made more suspicious. That’s normal, I think. I perfectly know it’s wrong if in the end you don’t trust anybody, that’s clear. You have to trust someone. Anyway since I overcame the forties I am much more cautious in granting trust to others. Imagine the full trust or the full solidarity. The solidarity is something precious too, don’t you agree? That’s when you give it and when you receive it, of course. But even in this case, I’m not used to share it at random without thinking before. Here is an example. Image that someone I know is accused of a deplorable action. Even if I loved him, he has my trust and solidarity if and only if he is innocent. If he were found guilty, well - only in the case we were bound by a feeling of affection – I would feel sorry f...

Stories and News No. 196 Here’s another case of cocaine in UDC Party. I read today the arrest of Salvatore Cintola, regional member UDC that, according to the investigators, instructed his secretary to buy cocaine. The punitive action of the national secretary Lorenzo Cesa didn’t hesitate: "We’ll throw him out of the party!" However, this is not the first case in the Union of Christian Democrats. Only two years ago Alfredo Pacifico, UDC commissioner pro tempore of Legnano - and outgoing secretary, was arrested for cocaine. And we can’t forget Cosimo Mele, a former member of the UDC, investigated for smuggling of drugs, especially cocaine. Now, as they say, one may be an exception. Two may be a coincidence. But three… Three create a problem. However, I'm not here just to destroy and I want to give a constructive contribution. I have the solution and I offer for free. The Story: Dear Christian Democrats United, it’s time to change. You are not drug addicts. And not even ...

Stories and News No. 195 "(Giuseppe Graviano) He told me Berlusconi’s name and that man from Canale 5, Dell'Utri. Thanks to the seriousness of these people they had put the country in our hands ." In your opinion, after saying such a thing, mafia repentant Gaspare Spatuzza could be trusted by Berlusconi government? It’s obvious, isn’t it? If what he said were false, many in place of Silvio and his collaborators would act the same way. Imagine the contrary ... On the contrary many would do everything to counteract these disturbing allegations. On the contrary , many would find any pretext to render harmless Spatuzza, for example denying the protection program, despite being requested by prosecutors in three different cities and the limit of 180 days would be just one of many. On the contrary , if the latter was not valid, many of us instead of the central committee of the Interior Ministry would do everything to find other excuses... The Story: Hypothetical phone call:...

Stories and News No. 194 Between Monday and today the Roman students will face the Italian composition. Among the subjects, there are the following: Letter to a friend , a project that I spent during the year , describe the 900 from a historical perspective , describe the Second World War . Thirteen years. That’s an important age, as all those that run through the time that I consider most interesting in our life: adolescence. I’m referring to the period in which everybody hatched a huge need to be heard. With good reason, I add. Each one of adults should pay close attention to what girls and boys, not only the Roman, but throughout Italy will write in these days. And not for rhetoric as hypocritical principles, such as these young people will be tomorrow's adults . Now they deserve our ears and eyes. Because even now, without saying or doing anything, they are better than us. The Story: Title : I am confused. Composition : My name is Luca, I’m thirteen and I am also confused...

Stories and News No. 193 Once again we must say meno male che Silvio c’è ( Thank God for Silvio ). Many newspapers tell that thanks to Silvio Berlusconi in Libya, Colonel Gaddafi has allowed the release of the Swiss entrepreneur Max Goeldi and the three Italian vessels that were seized. Nevertheless, forgive me, but I am one of the few, very few Italian citizens who tend to distrust what the press say and, above all, everything about our Prime Minister. So, just to have a clearer idea, even today I ask the opinion of the distinguished American sexologist Lisa Pointgee . The Story: A: Dr. Pointgee, what a pleasure to have you again here. L: Hi. A: Excuse me, but why are you always so cold? After all, you have Italian origins… L: Well, let’s continue with these clichés. Maybe now you will ask if I play the mandolin… A: Okay, forget it. Do you read about the Berlusconi’s last successful diplomatic mission? L: Are you referring to the recent visit by Libyan dictator ? A: Dictator? ...
