The Party's Over

napolitanoscialuppa.jpg
There are moments in the history of a country when everything becomes intolerable. The apex was reached with the speech delivered by Morpheus Napolitano in Rimini, applauded by the throng of those responsible for the Italian economic catastrophe. Morpheus, using his language of an nineteenth-century provincial bureaucrat, which is what he actually is, explained that “The seriousness of the crisis has been kept hidden.” Right, so from whom has this seriousness been kept hidden? From the bakers? From the petrol pump staff? From the doorman? The Quirinale, that costs the Italians a frightening amount, didn’t know anything about it? What was it busy doing? Busy signing every filthy law, including the Fiscal Shield to give an amnesty to the tax dodgers? Who was it that signed this law the first time round, without sending it back to the Houses of Parliament as he could have done and above all as he SHOULD have done? Perhaps it was him, the president who was appointed by Parliament that in turn was appointed by 5 party secretaries. That lanky gentleman who has never said a word about the public debt up until the moment that the bubble burst? The one who has never mentioned the 350,000 signatures collected for “Parlamento Pulito” {Clean Up Parliament}? Is it perhaps the guy who took the low cost flights to go to Brussels rather than Alitalia, the flagship airline? (video)
And behind this old man, who by now has served his time and who will be turfed into the cubbyholes of History, there are those who are taking refuge but are about to be swept away. All of them together, arse-lickingly. Cicchitto, a P2-ist of the first hour: “Napolitano has done a severe analysis …”. Enrico Letta (also called “Lecca” {Lick}) “We are putting our names to the Head of State’s appeal”. Moretti, the one of the railways that are being dismantled: “There’s a strong push to the pride in taking action”. Marchionne, the thermo-destructor of the Trades Union, who after thrilling results on the Stock Exchange and relating to sales, has not yet been put outside the door: “Napolitano is a man whom I hold in immense esteem, e reference point for the country”.
Morpheus said once more to the claque of bankers, members of the Confindustria, begging politicians and the papists present (unfortunately there was an absence of labourers, unemployed people, housewives, people laid off and Berlinguer-style communists) “It’s necessary to speak the language of truth as should be done by all those who have responsibility in the institutions.” This stupendous thought expressed by the one who has been at the top of the institutions for five years and who has never given any words on the foreseeable economic catastrophe, caused a round of applause from those present. From a distance even the voice of the former President of the Council was heard who judged Morpheus’ speech to be like "a spur". Behind the funeral stage set, there was the claque who were giving encouragement and applauding before the end: Passera (IntesaSanPaolo), Conti (Enel), Lucchini (Eni). Fantozzi’s daughter, otherwise known as Maurizio Lupi, was shouting excitedly just as she does when she has a private audience with Formigoni, the unauthorised Regional president, and a “uomo imagine” (sic) for the group “Comunione e Liberazione” or CL. The Dancing is Over. Will the last person to leave, please turn out the lights.

we are living in interesting times where the Banksters ,who are behind the new world orderists, declare war against legitimate governments of other nations in the name of some trumped up cause from weapons of mass destruction to "yeah you are a dictator and by the way we want your oil". They chase Gheddafi accusing him of being a criminal but lets not kid ourselves these people make Gheddafi look like an angel. So we have these criminals who parade in Armani suits destroying entire economies and making life miserable for the average joe..........shit is shit no matter how you package it .....even in an Armani suit the stench does not go away.

Only in Italy: I read that this guy Guzzanti, politician-a-la-Scilipoti,( a Judah-type politician), wrote an article for one of Berlusconi's papers, "Il Giornale," (more rag than paper) whining about "rich Italians" being "persecuted" or "hunted down" by "poor Italians." This Guzzanti guy argues that the rich are entitled to be rich, bathe in champagne and refuse to pay taxes to society, should they so desire. "Sure, go ahead and bathe in champagne" the tax-payers are saying," but please pay your taxes, stop taking millions of euros to the Caribbeans to evade paying your fair share. After all, you have the right to vote, travel the highways and all other infrastructures that make it possible for you to enjoy all your amenities." This kind of request, according to the Judah politician and author of the article, is persecution, nothing but a witch-hunt motivated by envy. One could easily dismiss this argument as an argument attempting to defend the indefensible. But then he brings God into his arguments and says that God rewards some people by making them rich and punishes others by making them poor. Wow! That explains why children are starving in Somalia or why Third World Countries are forever "developing." It's the Lord, stupid!
