The world media is now flooded with marriage between the so-called 'Prince' William and Kate Middleton. Newspapers, television, the ceremony is on the top news all over the planet. On the web, everywhere you had the chance to follow the live of the wedding, even on Youtube , right in the channel of the British royal family. I'll be venal, but the first question I asked myself is this: how much does this show cost ? Well, it seems that we are talking about 70 million, almost 80 million € . Wow. In times of crisis, is not it a bit too much? "It’s their business," the fanatic liberal with the ass on the upper floors that passes here might say. "They have money and spend it as they wish." Well, it is not like that… Those 80 million euros will not come all from royal family’s pocket. Let’s read this bill. Only for the security , the wedding costs 33 million, about 40 million € . According to Sir Paul Stephenson, deputy commissioner of Scotland Yard, at least...

Stories and News No. 344 I am convinced that the biggest hit of Silvio Berlusconi is having convinced most of his voters - and not only – that who criticizes him do because he is communist… The Story: I'm not a communist. I'm not communist if I think that in my country law should be equal for all. And I do not think of being a communist if I’d whish to see this principle also respected by the current Italy Prime Minister. I'm not communist if I think that, whatever our policy regard to foreigners who come to our country is, we should never lose the respect of human rights. And I do not think of being a communist if I consider my actual government not able to comply with that value. I am not communist if I think that, while we see increasing youth unemployment, the recent request to double the contributions to political parties is comparable to a theft. And I do not think of being a communist, regardless of whether it is approved or not, I always feel excessive these con...

This morning I make my blog even more unpopular. I read that last night a vessel carrying at least 200 people sank near Lampedusa Island. As far as the Italian Coast Guard report, 47 were rescued, while about 150 are still missing. I said people because at least on this blog they are people, or humans. Then I read the update of the tragedy: the missing down to 130, as 20 corpses have been sighted at sea. Now I said corpses. A corpse is a corpse, even if an illegal immigrant rather than a refugee. Well, let's be honest, okay? There is racism in our country, in many people. How many, I wonder, how many front of the TV - because most people are there that takes 100% of the information - looking at the images from Lampedusa has heard a bit, I repeat, a tiny bit of compassion for those people? I am talking about compassion, true compassion, in the belly and not just with words. Oh yes, because the only words of the so-called good thinking person is the ideal justification for explicit...

Stories and News No. 343 The Story: I will be … I was before too. The fact is that when someone says it, many do not hear, for various reasons. Demagoguery, rhetoric, bias, there are many words used to store it. On the other hand, you have to admit that if I am personally telling you, that deserves greater attention. Anyway, my words will remain here; ready to be denied at any time. So I defy you to do so. Not just today. Come back here tomorrow, if you have time. The day after tomorrow too. In a year or two, when you want. I know that time is my best witness. Time… As I said earlier, I was the leader of Libya before Gheddafi, even before this war. Or a humanitarian mission, as you prefer. Rather, let say a humanitarian war , so everyone is happy. That is the main reason of my power: I make everyone happy. Everyone that matters, of course. But let's get to the evidences. Of course you want evidence of what I say, isn’t it? I have come to light in Libya in early 1950. My coming br...

Stories and News No. 342 The Story: Once upon a time there was a country called Afghanistan. I know, maybe you expected Libya. However, a past story can serve to better understand the present. The past… Let’s say still actual, very actual. In 2001, the same today Good guys went in that country with the Operation named Enduring Freedom . It was a war or a peacekeeping mission? Some asked. Ten years later, many still wonder. Well, now here's the answer: This is a peace mission: This I think no: This is still a peace mission: This seems no: This is and always will be the only possible peace mission: I could be wrong, but I hope this will never be: The News: War is Peace.

Stories and News No. 341 The Story: Dear Good guys , dear French, US and British governments, permanent members of UN Security Council , and dear leaders of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Colombia, Gabon, Lebanon, Nigeria, Portugal and South Africa, non-permanent members, who have voted in favor of Resolution 1973 . Dear all of you who have decided to ask the Bad guys – reading the Resolution - the immediate establishment of a ceasefire and a complete end to violence and all attacks against, and abuses of, civilians . I am here to say thank you. Thank you for choosing to protect us from the Bad guys . Thank you for risking your own lives to save us from them. Thanks, in short, to be the Good ones. I am one of those civilians. Here, to be honest… not just those civilians. I am one of the others . I speak from one of the many countries where civilians, at this very moment, are suffering attacks, violence and abuse, just like the Libyans. Well, not just like… For many* of us are even worse… Ex...
