“Clean Parliament” in the Senate Committee
Beppe Grillo at the Committee for Constitutional Affairs
(18:29)
(18:29)
Today at 2:30 pm I was received by the Committee for Constitutional Affairs of the Senate to discuss the popular initiative proposed law “Clean Parliament” that has being lying in the Senate for 18 months.
The text of my presentation:
”Almost two years after the collection of signatures for the popular initiative law called “Clean Parliament” I have the honour of being received and heard as the first signatory of the proposed law. Two years to talk at the Committee for Constitutional Affairs. A Committee that will weigh up the three requests: no convicted person in parliament, a limit of two legislatures for every parliamentarian, nominal elections of the candidates. Two years wait for a law signed by 350,000 people. It’s a scandal that 350,000 Italian citizens haven’t even been considered for 2 years. It’s a scandal that in Parliament there are 20 people definitively convicted and statute-barred like Berlusconi, D'Alema, and Andreotti. It’s disgusting that 70 of our representatives are convicted at the first or second level or are under investigation. Cuffaro and Dell'Utri are senators because of judicial merits, being convicted at the first level for mafia relationships. This Committee, this parliament has nothing to do with democracy. Six people have decided the names of who became a deputy or a senator. They have chosen 993 friends, lawyers and excuse the term, a few “zoccola” {sluts} and they elected them. They elected them, not the citizens who couldn’t even choose their representatives. Dear members of the Committee, you are illegal, unconstitutional, and anti-democratic. Out of respect for yourselves and for the Italians, you should resign as soon as possible. Luigi De Magistris and Sonia Alfano are two respectable Italians elected by so many respectable citizens. You should start to get worried about these citizens. De Magistris had 450,000 votes, the second in Italy, Alfano 165,000 votes, the top woman in Italy. Those who went to vote were able to choose them. Why is this not possible for the Italian Parliament as well? The parties have occupied democracy. It’s time for them remove their interference.

Nel mio immaginario esistono 2 tipi di elettori che hanno scelto sostenuto il PDL ma sopratutto Berlusconi.
Il corrotto che ha le mani in pasta da sempre, quello che gioca sporco e che ha bisogno del politico bustarella, tipo Berlusconi per continuare ad abusare violare le leggi Italiane e civili, arricchendosi alla faccia dei lavoratori onesti, ed il patetico che vorrebbe ma non puo', e sogna Berluscolandia....
Berlusconi vince e continua a prendere voti nelle terre del degrado, della disinformazione, dove Internet non arriva in modo corretto e tutto cio' che viene preso per vero e' diffuso dalla TV di stato governato dal PDL, Le citta' dove la cultura vera esiste l'informazione non riesce ad essere filtrata, ovviamente Berlusconi perde...nella mia cittadina di Cava dei Tirreni, a Sud di Napoli, Berlusconi pensate ha preso piu' voti di Milano!!! pazzesco, una cittadina dove il tasso di disoccupazione e' altissimo, giovani brillanti, costretti ad emigrare per dare spazio ad ambizioni professionali, ci sono solo 2 cinema e 357 negozi di straccetti alla moda che aprono e chiudono i battenti ad una velocita' dal ritmo sospetto, e con titolari fantasma, uno strimenzito ufficio turistico con qualche brochure e pochissime attivita' culturali, a parte il bellissimo festival di musica classica Le Corti dell'arte, gestito con classe ed eleganza assoluta con ospiti illustri in estate, davvero non c'e' niente...un deserto per la mente dei giovani che si vedono costretti a fuggire per non impazzire di noia e per non morire di "nulla" o costretti nella spirale dei famosi "lavoretti" un deprimente girone dantesco dove si patiscono pene terrene, costretti a lavorare senza orari senza assicurazione di sorta senza contributi senza futuro e a volte anche senza paga...pensate alla vergogna giovani brillanti laureati in Legge, Economia, Finanza, costretti a fare i lacche' negli studi dei pesci grossi gia' affermati da generazioni da prima che nascessero grazie al blasone familiare, una strada un futuro in discesa assicurato gia' dall'eta' della culla, mentre un giovane di umili origini e' costretto dopo l'universita' a diventare servo della gleba....che ghigliottina...eppure, c'e' sempre una folla nella mia cittadina di giovani intenti allo shopping, eh gia' ragazzine strafirmate da capo a piedi che sembrano un autografo ambulante, ragazzini come damigelle dell'800 con scarpine dorate borsettina a tracolla dorata e sopracciglia depilate modello Greta Garbo meglio definite di quelle delle loro coetanee...orrore!!!forse e' proprio il vuoto il deserto della mente che ci porta alla follia collettiva, che nasce in sordina e finisce per imporsi lentamente giorno dopo giorno soggiogando la mente dei piu' deboli attraverso programmi demenziali donnine sempre pronte ad una visita lampo ginecologica in TV grazie alle mise succinte e succulenti,ed ad un topless plastificato, e giornalisti che come prostitute d'alto bordo aspettano la ricompensa adeguata per i loro servigi come i famosi " Bravi" di Manzoni aspettano la ricompensa per avere commesso il piu' grave dei delitti...l'uccisione dell'informazione vera....corruzione....e' cosi' si finisce dopo anni di lavaggio cerebrale attraverso il controllo dei media principali, si arriva a credere che il paradiso biblico non c'e' piu', la vera palestina e' la Sardegna, i 12 Apostoli non si chiamano piu' Pietro - Paolo - Giovanni. ma bensi Alfano, Bossi, Fede, Confalonieri, Dell'Utri e sono tanti una moltitudine piu' dei sorpassati 12, che le ragazzine da grandi non faranno piu' le maestre perche' la Gelmini ha deciso di chiudere l'educazione scolastica in un lager, ma bensi' le Veline la cui educazione ha costi zero per i genitori, la pensione per una volta sara' adeguata non di 500 euro al mese,il cervello sara' per una volta un muscolo messo a riposare,ed i ragazzini come moderne Cenerentole versione "Trans Mucca Pazza" andranno al corso per Tronista, si depileranno le sopracciglia per benino, il fondotinta alla Berlusca la scarpina doratina evvai tutti in lista per una particina nella TV del Grande Dittatore, come se si facesse la fila al collocamento costretto a chiudere i battenti perche' oramai i giovani vanno a cercare lavoro davanti agli uffici di mediaset cha hanno sostituito in pieno gli uffici del vecchio collocamento....il regime oggi nasce in maniera piu' sofisticata, cambiano solo le facce e le divise, ma la follia e' la stessa,si aggirano le istituzioni, si creano le leggi per non andare a Regina Celi in ergastolo, le masse non si plasmano piu' con i cortei militari ( non ancora..) ma via cavo, i magistrati, quelli onesti pero',spacciati per criminali,follia pura sembra di assistere ad un film di fantascienza dove l'impossibile diventa realta', proprio come nel film Il Pianeta delle scimmie... e Berluscolandia sara' presto aperta al pubblico come un parco divertimenti....attenzione il week end c'e' lo sconto famiglia basta guardare la pubblicita' su canale 5 con protagonisti la famiglia di Noemi Letizia dalla terra dei neo melodici lontano giu' fino alla Terra Promessa

Piergiorgio, I dont think the Clean Parliment initiative is a waste of time.
What I do think is that introducing other issues
and topics into the meeting is, in my opinion
a waste of time.

what to say, it's a step of a long stair that won't bring us anywhere. i know, you know and everyone knows they gave you a little piece of cake to keep your mouth busy for a while, to make the baby happy, to show off their fake interest in a proposal which could change the entire releationship between people and institution. fear my friends...holy fear!!!
we all know there won't be any date, any discussion, but i still believe in my own citizen, we are so lazy, we need and we want but we never do as it looks like to be out of our sphere, just a marginal duty for someone else, but...
damn...i still believe....
keep it up BEPPE, let's open our eyes
god speed

Yesterday, an 88-year-old white supremacist shot and killed the security guard at the entrance of the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. In turn, the shooter was shot by other security guards and was seriously wounded. The shooting is receiving extensive media coverage saying it was triggered by the racial hate stored in radical right wing groups and brought to a boil by the election of an African-American President. I may be wrong but I haven't seen American media focus that much on a racial incident (shooting of a black kid, or an attack on an immigrant worker) since Martin Luther King. Don't get me wrong, I'm not being critical of the attention the incident received. But there is a but. It seems the spotlight spots racism only in extreme racist actions while forgetting the role media plays in heating sets-of-minds predisposed to racial hate. What am I talking about? I'm talking about the obsessive rantings of right-wing, anti-immigrant broadcasters: the Limbaughs, the Dobbs, (Independent. Sure Lou!)! the other right-wing guy on CNN, the Coulters (She is not a broadcaster or is she? I don't know) and the list could go on. I can never remember the names of those other ones. Damn it! If these preachers for the right believe their words don't stimulate racial hate it's because they're in denial. Who wants to admit racism in themselves? Even white supremacy people hate the word racist. They are, they say, racialists. As much as these guys might object to what I'm saying by invoking freedom of speech I will say that it's not about that. I'm saying they should look at themselves or listen to themselves when they're on air and picking on the poor of the poorest of this world. You guys look hot, and I don't mean good looking, I mean pumped-up-hot, (Limbaugh gets so pumped up to the point he starts bouncing like a basketball) and consequently you're pumping up anybody with some kind of racist chip on their shoulders. Did you mean to do that? Of course not. You're just enforcing freedom of speech. You might say.
To be sure, Berlusconi's media makes no bones about being racist and if people are what they read, many, many Italians will tell you, "If being racist means I don't want Africans in my country then I'm racist. "So, one might ask, where are those sentiments rooted?" I don't really know. I mean, I don't want accuse Berlusconi's media of being racist, but I did (with thousands of other people) hear him say that Milan no longer looks like an Italian city. He said Milan, to him, looks like an African city. And that cannot be, he said. To be fair, Berlusconi is no Holocaust denier. No, on the contrary; if you take him to Buchanwald, you might see him shed a tear or two. I'm not being sarcastic. I saw him cry on the beach, a few years ago, where a few dozen desperate human beings attempting to escape poverty by going to Italy by boat, were T-boned by an Italian ship and, of course, people drowned. Berlusconi was ashore crying. But he didn't cry when a boat full of other desperate people, and potential political refugees, was intercepted on the high seas by the Italian navy and towed back to Libia. Probably, thousands of starving Africans drowned over the years trying to reach highly civilized Europe. It's a tragedy of epic proportions, right? And how might Europeans react to that? They will ask you, "And what can we do? We already have enough of them." Moral of all this? We are forgetting events we often swear we will never forget.

Kick them ass out of the parliament, as soon as possible!

Dear Beppe,
Thanks a lot for your courageous actions and your clear speaking on behalf of democracy and legality.
It is time for the people of Italy to say "enough is enough" to these thieves who steal our money and laugh in our faces.

I don't think they are going to reach a decision very soon.

Grande Beppe! Se ce la fai per favore metti i sottotitoli in Inglese sul video, lo sto facendo circolare tra i miei colleghi qui in Canada. Lo stanno guardando con il traduttore simultaneo di youtube, ma chiaramente non e' il massimo. Comunque gia' cosi' hanno gli occhi sgranati....

@John: the meeting purpose was to discuss and expose the law proposal to the committee, if it was just all about letting Beppe know about a date they wouldn't have asked him to travel from Genoa to Rome for letting him know. Beppe knows they won't probably give him any date so the whole thing ended up as an occasion to underline the reasons behind the law proposal. Maybe it was a waste of time and efforts, but you know I appreciate how this man believes in change.

Beppe,
A friend forwarded to me yesterday the link to your intervention at the Committe for Institutional Affairs. I started to watch it absent-mindedly and subsequently got glued to the screen for its entire duration.
Well done!
You give some hope to all those Italians who live abroad and have to endure the continuous 'figure di merda' courtesy of the Psycho-dwarf and the rest of the criminals in the Parliament.
It is hard to see light at the end of the Italian tunnel with so many convicts representing us... at the mean time it's great to realise that someone in Italy is not afraid to speak out loudly against them. If I ever come back to live in Italy, I hope to see many more of your 31 seeds installed in the local councils, regional governments and, hopefully, in the Parliament in the future.
Keep going,
Corrado

SORRY!! ENGLISH VERSION!
Beppe I follow you from New Zealand, where I now live. I am not at the other side of the world to 'run away' from Italy, but because my husband is a 'kiwi'. And the plan is that we'll go back home, in afew years. You are the hope and the strength to fight for this Country of ours, which I love even more since I left, but which undoubtely it gives embarassing and sad momnents. But the fun side is that even here in the Antipodean Emisphere our 'psiconano' makes depressing 1st page news; clients at work are asking if he's got an affair with his daughter...!
I saw you in Trento (where I'm from) last autumn. I left the 'palasport'/arena feeling quite low, but -as having been put again in front of many hard truths- but with a strong willing to fight. Even from 'down here'!
Thank you so much Beppe, you're fantastico!Don't give up! We won't give up!

Ciao mandi
non complichiamoci la vita inutilmente.....
Procuriamoci un aereo e bombardiamo Ceppaloni (BN)e Nusco (AV).Sono li' la stragrande maggioranza dei fetenti che li votano.Ma poi ? Dovremmo bombardare pure Napoli e provincia che ha votato quel camorrista,ignorante di Cesario, e poi, gli altri capoluoghi con relative provincie,poi la maggior parte del sud e del nord italia,poi...non finiremmo piu'
Questa e' una guerra,non una battaglia.
Sono giunto ahime', a una tragica conclusione
che ha stravolto quella che era fino a pochi anni fa', una mia radicata convinzione.
Le rivoluzioni,semmai esistessero i presupposti per farla,non vanno iniziate partendo dall'alto,tutt'altro,ma dal basso.
Il nemico siede accanto a me,lavora con me,e ride talvolta insieme a me.
Sembra me, ma non e' me.
La lotta e'a scalare,non a scendere.

Wow, 18 minutes to ask for a date :-)
Maybe this is me not understanding Italy and having a different approach to things but I suppose if I went before the committee I would simply state that I had gathered a raft of signatures for proposed law and would like the committee to tell me what the schedule is for getting it discussed and passed and who "owns" this process.
I dont see the point in going on about renewable energy, free wifi etc. I dont see the point in telling the committee that they are "inutile"
Why not just deal with the point in hand?

Beppe, you are our last resort. I have one simple question: do you never happen to think "they" could make you desappear in the same way "they" did with many others like Falcone, Borselino, Fava...? You have a great courage, I hope you will never loose it.
