Whoever chases after the others, is lost! Whoever delegates their own rights is a sucker. This is what they want us to become: “coglioni perduti” {lost suckers}. The first move, whatever it is, is left to the scoundrels that profess themselves to be politicians but who are often, too often, vulgar delinquents who break the laws. People who are on trial or definitively convicted. People who are so arrogant that they make the decisions about the future of the Nation and they take the decisions without consulting the citizens. And these decisions are the fruit of agreements, or personal benefits, of mess-ups, of pacts with Confindustria lobbies or with criminal powers. The first move is the TAV in Val di Susa, a monster for the transport of goods that don’t exist and that will carry 20 to 30 billion euro into the coffers of the cooperatives, the politicians and organised crime. The first move was the biggest American military base in Europe at Vicenza, brought into being against the local population. The first move is the Messina Bridge, a mafia gift. Whoever is in power is there because they were the first to move, they see the game, they create the game, they use the voters like pawns on a chess board. The first move is the laws that dismantle the justice system, one after the other, for fifteen years. Never a law against the conflict of interests or to get a trial as quickly as possible for a politician who is under investigation. The second move by the so-called parliamentary Opposition is always a pallid contrast, a “balbettare di collusi” {babble of those who collude}, of those soon to be put under investigation, of “vogliosi poltronisti” {those wanting an armchair}.
The first move is the mess-ups sold for governability. It is legitimate for the citizen to oppose but it’s laborious, and at times useless. The playing field, the players, the referee and the linesmen are already set out against that citizen, together with the TV reporter. The first move is the privatisation of what belongs to us, of water, of territory, of motorways, and even of the Civil Protection and of Defence. The first move is to get into debt without our consent, a billion euro one after the other, accumulating 1,800 billion of Public Debt. A debt that has to be honoured every year with interest, in 2010 about 75 billion, that we are paying for with our taxes. A debt that takes away resources from innovation, from social policy, from research, from development. The first move is the construction of nuclear power stations AGAINST a referendum and against the economics. In fact the cost of construction and the costs of disposal of the waste (for which no one has yet found a solution) have to be financed by the State. The first move is to put up the “least worst” as candidates, mouthfuls to be swallowed in the absence of an alternative (as though an alternative does not exist): Boccia in Apulia, Formigoni in Lombardy, De Luca in Campania with two notifications of proceedings. People who are guarantors and accomplices of the Anti-State. In Apulia, the first move was taken by Vendola. There it was the citizens who won at the Primaries. But it’s the exception that proves the rule of the Caste. Once the first move has been cashed in, the citizen has two alternatives, either to grin and bear it and to get equipped with antiemetics so as not to vomit or to seriously think of taking the whole family to live abroad.
Making the first move makes it possible to define anyone who opposes you as “anti”: No global, No Dal Molin, No Bridge. The word “No” is used to label the citizen as being against progress. To chase after something is a mistake, you have to be the first to act, to make the first move, and to be contagious for the sceptics with ideas and results that are already numerous. The blog by now is not sufficient to collect all of them. This is the reason why what is arriving is a website of the 5 Star MoVement for the publication and distribution of videos, of witness statements, photos that get to me in their hundreds every day. They will never give up (but is it in their interests?). Neither will we.
