WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY SICILIA News Journal Update - (en) Italy, Sicilia Libertaria, Nov. 23: Cospito - TO JUSTIFY THE ERROR IT TAKES HORROR (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 

The reasons with which the Supervisory Court rejected the revocation of
the 41 bis regime for Alfredo Cospito could be accepted in a psychiatry
manual as an example of the way of "reasoning" (or unreasoning) of a
misfit, of a person incapable of measuring himself in a balanced way
with the difficulties and adversities of existence. In fact, the Court
was not asked to say why it doesn't like Cospito and doesn't want to
marry him, but why he wouldn't be manageable as an ordinary prisoner.
The Surveillance Court contests an alleged inconsistency on the part of
the National Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Directorate, as it requests
the revocation of 41 bis from Cospito despite recognizing that he is
"socially dangerous" and that he is a "prominent figure". So according
to the Surveillance Court, who would be the ideal prisoner under the
ordinary regime? A Mother Teresa of Calcutta in disguise?

Beyond his climbing on mirrors, one can understand the real reason for
the Surveillance Court's resentment towards Alfredo Cospito. Before he
began his hunger strike, no one knew what a black hole the 41 bis prison
regime was. It was sold to the gallows as an afflictive and restrictive
detention system for leaders of criminal organizations, that is, people
who have so many material means at their disposal that they can direct
crime even from prison. It was a childish vision, given that the State
and the Mafia are just acronyms, while concrete power cuts across the
legal and the illegal, as well as the public and the private; but the 41
bis commercial still exerted its pathos as an epic of the fight against
the mafiosi. Thanks to Cospito, the anti-mafia narrative collapsed and
it was instead discovered that 41 bis is applied to a plethora of
prisoners (between seven hundred and eight hundred?), many of whom have
nothing to do with organized crime; and it was also found that the
isolation regime is not at all transparent, but rather subject to
arbitrary choices, to the point that "meetings" between leaders of
criminal organizations can be organized and encouraged. Thanks to two
naive henchmen of the fake Prime Minister Meloni, we also learned that
these meetings could be the subject of wiretaps. For what? Some contest
the restrictive and afflictive regime of 41 bis as being a form of
torture. Of course, but here we go beyond torture, we are dealing with
the manipulation of prisoners. The media hype focused heavily on the
dilemma of establishing whether or not the revelation of those wiretaps
represented a violation of official secrecy. The most important
question, however, was another, and that is to understand whether that
meeting during free time between Cospito and some bosses had been
organized with a purpose. From the way things have gone, it seems that
it is considered legitimate to provoke a prisoner in the hope that he
will commit crimes.

Then there were press releases from representatives of the prison police
which were of a disconcerting "candor" (or realism). What is described
(and also complained about) by the prison police is in fact the use of
the typical emergency paradigm, that is, the dysfunctionality of the
ordinary prison regime has been favored in order to favor the expansion
of the extraordinary regime of 41 bis. The more emergency there is, the
more power you gain, you can skip procedures, you don't have to account
for anything. The emergency also has a retroactive effect of absolution
for all the lies that have been told. It is not surprising that the
emergency has become a drug for those in power. The continuous emergency
becomes normality, therefore it is necessary to take ever greater doses,
it is always necessary to relaunch by evoking impending catastrophes and
enemies as deadly as they are monstrous.

Videos of the arrest of Luca Dolce have been circulating online, as he
saw himself surrounded by a gang of thugs disguised as thugs. According
to the media narrative, the reason why Dolce even received the attention
of the NOCS is that he came into contact with Cospito, with his magnetic
and evil fluid. We have seen that within the judiciary there are also
those who realize that the narrative and vindictive excesses implemented
in the Cospito case have had counterproductive effects, the famous
"heterogenesis of ends". Revenge is a very effective manipulative
technique, which allows those in power to twist, turn and deceive public
opinion at will; but this is also true in the most everyday human
relationships: it is as if vindictive people have a control panel
already incorporated, so all you have to do is press that button to
direct them where you want.

In our dear little peaceful Italy, power has been exercised since time
immemorial, arousing and stoking a climate of score-settling. Fascism
represents the textbook case of this model of social revenge; but also
the pseudo-judicial coup d'état of 1992, with the consequent orgy of
privatizations, was staged as revenge against the parties. The
psychopandemic was an entire manhunt, with various prey: first the
runners, then those who celebrated at home, but above all the "deniers"
and anti-vax defectors. Speaking of "double standards", one should smile
at the fact that in a country where incitement to civil war is a
national sport, people pretend to be scandalized by certain phrases from
Cospito. However, once power has set in motion certain manipulative
mechanisms, it in turn remains bound and conditioned by the vindictive
climate that has been triggered. If you try to stop or backtrack you
risk finding yourself overtaken due to internal competition within the
oligarchies.

The emergency mechanism therefore appears unstoppable, it does not
depend on the will of individuals but on the automatisms of a drugged
system. They are forced to persecute Cospito because it is the only way
to absolve themselves. Gone are the good times when to be absolved of
your sins it was enough to confess and receive communion. In the
religion of political correctness, a Paternoster and an Ave Maria are
not enough to be absolved; for the correct politician only the horror of
others can erase our mistakes. In the religion of political correctness
the absolution effect is not only retroactive but also preventive, it
even washes away future crimes. Thus this sort of transubstantiation
occurs in political correctness: the errors of the oppressed are always
crimes, while the crimes of the powerful are errors; indeed, even
better, they become simple "contradictions". The concept was expressly
formulated by the writer David Grossman: no one should allow himself to
compare Israel's mistakes with the horrors of Hamas. Only the presence
of an inhuman monster, of absolute evil, allows power to demonstrate its
humanity. For this reason we must dehumanize the enemy and always create
new monsters. Paradoxically, humanism is not humanitarian at all: given
that human beings do not correspond at all to the human ideal, it is
always very easy to find the pretext to exterminate them. How pathetic
were those Catholics who asked for our daily bread. In the religion of
political correctness we must instead pray like this: give us today our
daily Hitler.
