WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY SICILIA News Journal Update - (en) Sicilia Libertaria, Oct-23: This way. The good, the bad and the ugly. But unfortunately it's not a movie (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 

Apparent confusion under the sky. But it's a game of roles, like good

cop and bad cop. Here we have good Christians and bad Christians. The
bad guy would be the Prime Minister, who never misses an opportunity to
reiterate, by shaking his fists, his strenuous defense of the family and
of God (in addition to the inevitable homeland). It is not lost on us
that this is also an internal scuffle within the coalition between the
Brothers of Italy and the League. ---- The female Prime Minister
participated as a protagonist in the Demographic Summit in Budapest on
14-16 September, an annual international meeting of the institutional
and clerical right to define strategies for attacking the values of
secularism and the freedom of human beings.

In her speech the female President said, among other things:

"We live in a time where everything that defines us is under attack.
Why? And why is it dangerous? It is dangerous because our identity - our
national identity, our family identity, our religious identity - is also
what makes us aware of our rights and capable of defending them. Without
this identity, we are just numbers, unaware numbers, tools in the hands
of those who want to use us. This is why I think that a great battle for
those who defend humanity and people's rights is also to defend
families, and also to defend nations, and also to defend identity, and
also to defend God and everything. what built our civilization."

I refer the reader to the special on page 7 dedicated precisely to the
topic of the birth rate decline, and I limit myself to dealing with what
falls within my competence, without having stated that the defense of
the traditional and patriarchal family is valid only with regard to the
submission of women to the role of procreative machine; because then,
regarding the rest, this poor family is badly mistreated by this
government: the increase in prices of basic necessities of over 10%
compared to an inflation of just over 5%, and a wage freeze that lasts
for decades, they have been one of the most macroscopic aspects; an
increasingly poor family is perhaps the ideal model of the female
President, who not surprisingly in Budapest recalled the good times in
which, in post-war Italy and widespread poverty, families had children
and the average per woman was 2 ,7. So the strategy is clear, and also
includes the cut in Citizenship Income, the increase in fuel, high
rents, etc. In line, it must be admitted honestly, with what previous
governments have done, all orthodoxly Christian and pro-papal.

This newspaper also deals continuously with the defense of the homeland,
and in particular in this issue with reports on the policies of the
asocial right in power or on anti-migration policies, not exactly in the
name of the compassionate humanity that should characterize - on paper -
a government of Christians.

Then there is God, who the female President declares he wants to defend,
and here he is already on slippery ground, given that if his God needs
to be defended by someone, it means that he is in really bad shape. But
on this I want to reiterate to my four readers what Michele Serra wrote
in his L'amaca column in the "Venerdì di Repubblica" of last September
15th. The title is "God is not in government".

"I ask myself why on earth, and by whom, God should be "defended", as
Meloni and Orbàn say in their comradely gatherings. If it is the Eternal
Father of the monotheistic vulgate, male and omnipotent, the God of
Nations and war, the Gott mit uns of all ages, the bearded and vengeful
God of Patriarch Cyril, of fanatical imams, of Christian supremacists,
the God that "he has the sword, not the Book" in his hand (Guccini),
then it is we who must protect ourselves and save ourselves: just a few
thousand more years and maybe we will make it.

If, however, it is the unknown Engine that moves everything, and created
everything, he has no need to be defended by anyone. It is blasphemous
to consider him "in danger". It defends itself magnificently, and will
remain to dispense light and life when Nations, Homelands, Right (and
even Left) are considered only an awkward parenthesis of human history.
We are a fart in the middle of the galaxies, who do we think we are, to
proclaim ourselves Guardians of the faith?

This political use of religion has nothing religious, much less
spiritual. It's grossly worldly. Even when it is implemented in good
faith (therefore out of fanatical zeal and not out of cynical
calculation) it is dangerous and detestable. It is the reiteration of a
religious tribalism (my God is the real one, yours is the false one)
which has brought destruction, persecution, terror, war and death.
Those who have God's copyright are scary: we need to defend ourselves
from them. God, unless there are unforeseeable reshuffles, is not a
member of the Meloni government."

And now let's move on to the good Christian: Pope Francis. He preaches
peace, defends immigrants, even loves to be anti-clerical. In fact, on
September 8 Mykhailo Podolyak, chief advisor to Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelensky, in a long interview with Oksana Kharkovska on
Ukraine's Channel 24 stated: «The Pope cannot have a mediation role, he
is pro-Russian therefore he is not credible». The accusation would be
based on the fact that the Pontiff has repeatedly demonstrated that he
has a position that is far too close to the Russian Federation in the
last eighteen months. In particular, the reference is to the video link
to the "Russian Youth Day" in St. Petersburg, last August 25, when Pope
Francis told young Russians: «Never forget your heritage. You are the
heirs of great Russia: the great Russia of saints, of rulers, the great
Russia of Peter I, Catherine II, that empire - a great,
enlightened,[country]of great culture and great humanity. Never give up
this legacy, you are the heirs of the great Mother Russia, move forward.
And thanks. Thank you for your way of being, for your way of being
Russian." These words, Linkiesta reports, "had surprised and irritated
the Ukrainian authorities and public opinion, so much so that the
Ukrainian archbishop Shevchuk had asked the Vatican to explain the
meaning of those words. And as the journalist Yaroslav Trofimov of the
Wall Street Journal recalled on that occasion, it is as if the Pope had
suggested to the Belgians to celebrate the great humanitarian and
enlightened mission of King Leopold in the Congo, given that Peter and
Catherine of Russia enslaved the 'Ukraine in the name of that Russian
imperialism."

In short, the role play works, you just need to side with one or the
other and the trap has worked.

The moral of this story? quoting Bunuel: thank God we are atheists!
