The paint that covers and transforms everything is ready. The Carnival disguises have been taken out of the wardrobe. The floats are processing through the streets. Everything has to change so that nothing changes. The puppet masters have been getting ready for some time. The “popolo viola” has taken flesh in Gianfranco Mascia who comes out of the party offices with his loud hailer walking towards Montecitorio. The entrepreneurs that depend on the State are protesting against the State that has maintained them for decades at our expense with concessions and financing. Aligned journalists, the residue from L'Unità that has always lived off public contributions, like Padellaro and Colombo, are the new journalism that is advancing. The Church now wants clear air with the swallows around the bell towers, this is after they have pocketed ICI (property tax) and tolerated the wars in Afghanistan and in Libya, where Italy is the aggressor country. The “vescovoni” {big bishops} will save us, it is shouting out, from beneath their skirts, the united opposition, from Casini to Vendola. The newspapers and the investigative weeklies are only concerned with selling more copies. How? With Berlusconi! A relic that a serious opposition would swept away in 24 hours, has become an economic insurance for the publishers, better than the Youporn site. “Tira più di un pelo di f.” {It’s more attractive than a single hair from …} , it increases the circulation of the printed press and online viewings.
Four years ago, this blog announced our economic default and met the silence of the media. It wasn’t difficult to say so, it was enough to be free. Now it has become the problem of the day, but only because we are sinking into the abyss. The advertising for companies like ENI and Banca Intesa is bankrolling the online editions of the hardcore newspapers that while they are getting in the money, are attacking the System with the strength of a straw dog. I’m talking to people. In private, they tell me I’m right, that I have all their support, but basically only a few, almost no one is saying so openly. "Grillo, vai Grillo. Prendi i guantoni sul ring. Gira l'Italia con un pullmino. Noi tifiamo per te". {Go Grillo, Go! Grab the boxing gloves. Tour round Italy in a mini-bus. We are backing you.} The lads and lasses of MoVimento 5 Stelle {5 Star MoVement}, and of the MeetUps are fantastic. They are the new guerrillas in a world that wants to suck them back inside the quick sands of indifference and of plotting (It’s so sweet to give in). Who is making them do this, if it’s not their conscience, the conscience that is totally absent from this Nation? I am under investigation by the Turin Prosecutors Office for having broken the seals of a mountain hut, that in reality I have never broken. I went into a house with the door open where some NO-TAV people were present. Is it a serious crime for the Prosecutors to be investigating? The politicians are the most obscene. They want to abolish the Provinces and they put up candidates for the provincial elections. They pocket billions in financing, but they are asking for sacrifices from the poor devils. They are cutting pensions while they are pocketing the annuities that have matured for them after only one term of office. However, in Parliament they harangue you on morality so much that they make your arteries tremble. If you meet up with one of them, remind him that he is a shameless kept man. Priests, politicians, industrialists, journalists, economists, bankers, how many are living within the magic and putrid circle of impunity and belonging? Two million, three million, ten ? They will never give up (but is it in their interests?). Neither will we.
