Wording New Baby Congratulations

What "freedom of expression"? Reflections on the anti-Berlusconi demonstration.

I am following with great skepticism on the agencies today's event against Berlusconi. issued in the name - it seems - of freedom of information. But not because freedom of expression and thought is cheaper to me than to them. Far from it! I believe, however, that freedom of expression has nothing to do with "freedom" of the mass media: that, in particular, groped on a daily basis of what they themselves would have us believe that we citizens should be absolutely and submissively believe. They claim to be their "public opinion" and can make or break governments at will. I'm not even a priori defense of any government. I believe that ours is a true bipartisan regime, where a voter has little choice.

Certainly there is great confusion in this event where the victims are the more naive in good faith. If it's really spontaneous, there are those who try to ride it. Manipulation is the highlight of the given stage. Against Berlusconi, who fell out of favor in Washington, was, first, brought up "scandal" of the escort, and now, you want the Mafia. I do not think all this is just my opinion and politics. We'll see what action today will antiberlusconiana event, an event "ad personam", that is, against a single person, although powerful, that you try to demonize and criminalize anyway. Berlusconi will not overlook the means to promote a counter-demonstration in his favor.

are not satisfied with the current government, of every component of any policy that is pursued. But it is naive to expect the breakdown of the ongoing political and civil society, Italian and European trends are clear and unambiguous. Each of us should be able to look at the whole and to overlook details, see the whole forest instead of the single tree. I think the only way a citizen, not tied to lobbyists and corporations, but an authentic expression of the Italian people as a whole, can extricate itself in a situation that is deliberately made more and more entangled precisely those large newspapers that claim for themselves the freedom of manipulation and defamation, passed off as "press freedom" and "expression" of "information" and similar nonsense, of which I do not know the truth to estimate the number of victims in good faith.

I think the consensus that has been created around the figure Berlusconi can hardly survive. I do not see a fine or other direction. Many people think after Berlusconi, then considered to have recovered full freedom of movement and political action. Considering the current electoral laws and other laws liberticide not a few, I expect that there will be - as can be - many enzymes within civil society. I hope with all my heart that you do not experience the phenomena of political violence, but if he wants to save the Italian people can no longer rely on closed eyes to the current political class. I read that antiberlusconiana the event that you are still playing as I write, has adopted the banner of revolution "Color" of the former Soviet bloc: the signal could not be more disturbing. The ambiguities require physiological time to melt. It is questionable however whether the country can afford all this and what will be the cost recovery policy and a moral at the same time.

Since the event in the course very much a demonstration "against" one person, logic dictates that it must soon follow a counter to that person or to produce an even greater consensus around Berlusconi. Not a manifestation of the PDL, where there are several leaders who aspire to the succession of the Cape, but a demonstration called by the Chief that calls upon his supporters, che stando ai suoi sondaggi sarebbero sopra la soglia del 60 per cento. Non credo che la manifestazione di San Giovanni nasca tutta dalla Rete. Credo invece che vi siano gli stessi registi che hanno operato in altre situazioni, ad esempio le rivoluzioni “colorate”. La Rete nella sua frammentarietà non è capace di una simile organizzazione. Gli striscioni, i cartelli, i costi materiali e quanto altro da chi sono stati forniti? Non da Facebook!

A Roma di manifestazioni ne ho viste tante, di ogni genere e di ogni colore. Quella odierna volta a chiedere le dimissioni di Berlusconi mi sembra debole nelle sue motivazioni più che nel numero dei partecipanti. Anzi direi che con motivazioni deboli una manifestazione è the weaker the higher the number of demonstrators: an inverse relationship, however, that well describes the confusion and lack of prospects. Resignation requested by whom and in whose name? And what are the prospects? Who should succeed Berlusconi? Purposes? Di Pietro? Franceschini? Bindi? They are the saviors who are waiting for? Who will be the Messiah? I have no preconceived hostilities against the protesters, but I do not see much of their policy proposals, the alternative. The themes of their slogans seem copied from the newspapers. But I think that Berlusconi, released from his colonels, may still be the alternative. Needs to be a growing political and delivered by her. Vale's theorem Machiavelli of the One, the Many and the People. For the People is better to be driven by one rather than be oppressed by many. They call it "populism". Maybe ...
