Stories and News No. 729 Once upon a time there was a man. One as many. A gentleman who is attentive to the world’s atrocities. Because abhorring horror means something. It must mean something. I cannot remember what, but it is important. You need despise if the script requires it. "Those uncivilized people", the man exclaimed that day in his balcony, speaking to his fellow neighbor of the front window. "The use chlorine gas bombs for their attacks. Did you hear that?" No reply. "Oh, I see, you are used to that, gosh. It's a shame, we should bomb them all, those guys with long beards and scimitar. " Ever quiet. "They are beasts, I'm not racist, but these are real animals. They also force children to kill in place of them, do you understand? " Nothing on the opposite side. "Of course you understand, it does not take a genius to see that this is a religious war, no jokes. Here we risk all, we must learn to defend oursel...

Stories and News No. 316 Sunday night in Rome four children died in the fire . At the time of the tragedy they were alone, because their mother had gone out to find food and the aunt was looking for water. The four children have died in the fire because, to fight the cold winter in their wood and plastic house, they used a brazier. This is a way to explain it, but obviously that’s not enough. These poor victims need more than that, don’t you think? "The popular houses have their own ranking and who speaks today of houses to Roma people want to leave them in those ovens. Today we have to deal with the emergency and ensure safe conditions for people," Gianni Alemanno replied to whom proposed home accommodation as a solution. Alemanno is the Mayor of Rome . Rome is the town where four children were burnt to death last night. "We will ask the government special powers to the prefect, giving him the chance to skip the conference services that slows down the paperwork,...

Stories and News No. 297 Do you know Gianni Alemanno , the mayor of Rome? Well, I know him because I live in the Italy Capital city, but maybe you have heard about through the newspapers. Alemanno… the man who is in the middle of the scandal Ama, Atac and all the patronage of Rome… Come on, the guy that, in the recent poll on the popularity of our Italian citizens, is 73rd , losing 50% of the rating of the previous year. Well, I read that thanks to these excellent results, he has decided to clear the city council. Berlusconi’s Government approves: "We have previously agreed with the decision taken by the Mayor Alemanno to reset the council, to restart it," Mr. Cicchitto, the leader of the PDL in the Deputies Chamber, said . Sorry, but there is something that escapes me. And it is not a trivial point. That is a question of logic, the simple logic of events. Who knows, maybe the following story will help me to better understand the meaning of everything… The Story: Once u...

Stories and News No. 290 We make pictures of the facts, the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said. I think it is true more than ever looking at the visual story of what happened yesterday and that perhaps is happening in Italy since immemorial time. What I am talking about is before our eyes every day, in a lot of moments which many of us have become accustomed to. It is normal and normality is seen in the news as anything but for what it actually represents. So it becomes background noise, the background scenery, the background desktop of our personal monitor. The problem is that when it starts to show brutal violence and irrepressible hatred sooner or later the time comes that the boundaries break and that background becomes our one and only world. At that point it is too late to move and breathe a sigh of relief because once again we are not victims. We can no longer change the channel. There is no longer a Facebook to retreat to. From Wikipedia , a civil war is: a war betw...

Stories and News No. 249 " I do not want any accident and I say in the Fiom’s interest. At times like this we need distancing the violent people by all democratic persons . " This excerpt is taken from the interview that the Italian Minister Maroni released today, in response to those who have strongly criticized his alarm declaration launched yesterday ahead of saturday event: " The risk of infiltrations on Saturday's Fiom manifestation is high, as also the analysis of our services said, but our focus will be maximum. " Without controversy, it will seem strange, but I agree with Maroni. He is right in both his statements, especially the second in order of time. I make his words mine. More than ever at this time we need distancing the violent people by all those democrats . We must have maximum focus . So, in my little, I started to work. I hope that my contribution will be appreciated both by Fiom and the Minister Maroni… The Story: I hope this info...

Stories and News No. 239 I make a premise: I am not pessimist, in no way. I am not even optimist. I just try to base my conclusions on facts. The 5th of December 2009, there was the first edition of the No Berlusconi Day , which I joined and participated with quiet enthusiasm. You see, after fifteen years of more or less public manifestations of aversion to our current Prime Minister I increasingly became disenchanted, that’s all. However I did not lose my hope. If Nelson Mandela had endured almost three decades in prison to see the country he desired, we can easily resist. Besides, we are not in prison. The truth is that most of us, while not voting for that man, are doing absolutely nothing to be a real alternative to Berlusconi ideal. How? You already know. We are his stuff every time we turn on the ‘Democratic’ Mediaset premium Channel to watch the footbal games and especially the mountain of idiotic chats before, during, and after them, we do when we lose our time with those ...

Stories and News No. 211 Yesterday in Rome we had yet another demonstration of what kind of country we have become. The Committee 3e32 , L'Aquila coordination network, had organized a manifestation in July 7, 2010, to bring to the streets the following demands: We first ask for the suspension of all taxes and charges, the freezing of loans and a series measures to support employment and the economy. I also read on the site of the promoters that there was great participation, by local and national organizations. Associations, political parties, committees, companies, municipalities and institutions like the University of L'Aquila and the Archbishopric. Like most of you know, the procession was stopped by the police. Consequently we saw another clash between officers and protesters, with three persons wounded. The news was obviously on the front pages of all media. As always, every newspaper tends to give a personal version of the facts. The absolute objectivity does not exist, ...

In the picture: Gaddafi and Minister Mara Carfagna Stories and News No. 45 The Story : Friday, the 12 th of June, the third day of Italian appointments for Gaddafi arrived. The most important was the meeting with the Minister of Equal Opportunities and more than hundred of other women. They are famous ladies, representative of Italian business, political and cultural Italian Representatives, spokespersons, testimonials of one or more people. However, as often happens in my country, when ambassadors of many arrive at the important moments, they consider one single priority: their businesses. Thus, since the Libyan leader entered the room, the only thing they think was the one that personally affected, that touch their interests, their being women. Yet, even in that time, they were represented by someone else. It is today the most practiced game in Italy : I represent you that represent him that represents someone that should represe...

The Story : “Tum tum… tum tum… tum tum… tum tum…” Look at the Mayor Alemanno… must be nine ‘o clock. I thought he were taller. On TV Right politicians ever seem higher... Come on… come on… it’s starting! I feel good, I’m strong. Despite the age I’m strong. Look, look at all. I’m one step away from the fifties and I run together with the world champions. I’m talking about the Africans, of course, but for now, until the race is over we’re all champions and that’s the beauty of the race: black or white legs, we run all the same. Rome is a really beautiful sight while you’re running. It’s so different from yesterday, when I arrived by car. It seems another city. I feel fine; I have never felt as good as now. Maybe the reasons are the adrenaline, the excitement, the applauding hands. Perhaps the fact that it’s not cold as the newspapers said. But you know, the newspapers don’t ever tell the truth... Hey, watch that man! I’ve never seen awry legs like those... Look at that belly! Good, you w...
