mala tempora currunt











Dear friends, I intended to devote one page to a great sculptor, whose work, revised in many years, has opened my mind turning the motions with sincere feeling and admiration, almost a childlike wonder: a rare thing, which just happens to things " beautiful and holy. "
And I also thought, continuing to paraphrase Foscolo, I hope not in error and with the necessary humility, open that my scritterello with a kind of opening words, even from the Tomb "egregious things in mind the strong light ..." Yes, dear friends because intense emotion and feelings that these plaster models have aroused deep gave me comfort, as the illusion that my mind, per un attimo, potesse aver trovato lo stesso vigore del Poeta: pur restando ben consapevole della diversità, dato che laddove nel Foscolo ad accendere il sentimento erano state probabilmente la memoria, la riflessione, la grandezza del genio… qui invece aveva operato la forza dell’arte, quell’empatia che annullando del tutto il tempo c’illude in un essere universale alla cui “mensa” sublime ci è dato per un momento di partecipare.
Sì, cento cose vi sarebbe da dire, cento vie, pensieri diversi eppure coerenti vi sarebbe da seguire. Forse un giorno mi ci proverò. Anche se Libero Andreotti (è lui lo scultore capace di codesti prodigi) meriterebbe assai più e assai meglio di quanto io sia able. Certainly be the extracted using the honors it deserves oblivion Of this tomb (although noble place), at least from the studies, not day, as usual, but the whole years. Was it perhaps Codest reflect that, besides the strength of feelings, 'he recalled the Foscolo monuments.
- Why not now? - He thinks a few friends. Unfortunately because the things of the day we put it all in calling them indecent, mephitic squalor (after all if we were able to stretch again and again and again the feeling of what is great and sublime would certainly conquered death). Instead of feeling seems almost to pull the edges or pockets of jacket, as if ghosts, these incattiviti yes, saying that they wanted to call things "good and holy" can expect that no one can remove them all (only maybe a little time 'the fatigue), whereas it is now time take off the dress and return to defile the noble mud and dust.
But now, if so, I do not want it to point tear, and even poetic, and I do not quite remember crying on the monument of Alfieri Italy, nor retrace saddened the aisles and complain at every step because of the confrontation, nor Finally, on the stone to stop poor poor reminiscent of the great Gentile dear (to him so no one "its" can take anything ...) No, I guess to get me the coat, they, the great: then and because of the many just me? No! Dear friends, my ghosts are other people, are all those poor, cheap and unimportant people who have died because they wanted a better Italy. All that ended in Gentucca pile of ossuaries, or who knows where, who was not able to develop noble concepts, but that his heart was burning, as the old woman who knew no prayers addressed to the Almighty and pray on their knees to "shoes and clogs "by the hour, even with tears in his eyes, he was so convinced his deep query. All those who now right now left ma ancora dapprima, da quando il piombo era austriaco ed ancora prima, sono morti per gli ideali della Patria, per quello in cui credevano, oppure per sbaglio travolti da cose più grandi di loro si sono ammazzati fra loro nella guerra civile. Ma ci pensate amici cari a quei giovani di vent’anni, poco più poco meno, morti ad El Alamein; a quelli bruciati nei carrarmati dell’Ariete o congelati nelle steppe o sul Don? Oppure con donne vecchi e bambini fucilati proditoriamente nei nostri paesi, ovvero trucidati solo perché portavano una camicia nera. Non ci chiamano forse rivoltandosi nelle loro tombe per la spavalda, impudente cialtroneria di tutta la nostra cosiddetta “classe dirigente”? Per questa Poor Italy in the hands of a gang of scoundrels, the scoundrels of every kind and smart. But how could it be reduced?
for decades - I repeat, I know - we have come to believe that the right of honesty, trust the word, the handshake, values \u200b\u200bthat were worth spending something of himself. That our values, we firmly believe - and I continue to believe again - also worth the sacrifice unfair (remember the brothers Mattei, Ramelli, the Mantekas and many others) for decades we have watched with disgusted contempt the misdeeds of party politics, the swindles, tricks of the palace to the robbing, the partitions patronage, the waste of public money ... We have suffered exclusion, bullying ... And now here we are, our disgust, whose maximum leader, the "leader" has led his troops into the fray, the spirited madness of defeat: as in the Berlin bunker (but without a final suicide - unfortunately -) or reduced by the Valtellina ...
Almost incredible as possible: first - you know - all from just decided for the wedding with the Chevalier, and like the pied piper, has brought with him behind the topastri, then when they like it or not almost all are drowned, decided to reverse an ambiguous, no one knows what in the name of design, as he was the "world", la “via”, la “verità”, la “vita”... lasciando i malcapitati nella non facile necessità di decidere se continuare ad affogare in un mare di (***), oppure fare retromarcia anche loro, continuando a seguire un (presidente della Camera) che non sa dove andare, ma che nel frattempo, da “uomo” di destra ha inverti il proprio linguaggio, e c’è da immaginare anche (se possibile) il proprio pensiero. Insomma seguire una sorta di Trans(politico), dove e come nessuno ha capito...
Hanno ragione i buoni italiani a rigirarsi incazzati nella tomba! A far tremare le lapidi degli ossari! Neppure alla corte di Papa Alessandro, che pure in congiura e tradimento era maestro, si era giunti a tanto. Ovvero, almeno lì un qualche disegno politico, fra ammazzamenti e festini, incesti e sevizie, il buon Machiavegli c’insegnava a trovarlo… In questo casino, perdonatemi, non c’è neppure codesto. Solo sempre più in basso, come presi da una cieca e folle volontà di distruggere ogni cosa, quasi maniacalmente a voler attizzare la rivolta, l’ottusa reazione delle viscere di qualcuno che forse colpirà assurdamente, come sempre accade. E come al solito, si dice: “pagherà il giusto per il peccatore”. Perchè in questo marasma solo ciò, purtroppo, c’è da aspettarsi. Altro che pacificazione nazionale! In un momento come questo, with many of our citizens without work, who do not know where to turn around, with companies that close, these people think of "maneuvers" or the "intrigues" of the building. All we need is a Marie Antoinette saying: The people have not bread? Let them eat croissants! What a disgusting spectacle
when the dog turns to the owner who has risen from the pound, and after voluntarily followed the celebration, among yelping and jumping, wagging his tail and licking my hand, as it accords with overnight Melampus martens to carve the chickens ...
Now I do not know how else to go the sad "faces" of this country, I just hope that the dog is given a sound lesson and, as they say, once you hit rock bottom, you can not help but go back, though in truth I believe it just because I think with these characters you can not go anywhere, and I do not see others around. Unfortunately.

Tric-trac! Who is in is in, who's out is out!









remember (who knows why, and just today) that in an old tale, that his grandfather Mariano told my mother and she to me, the more awake and attentive of three Anatrini, blocking the door with the latch exclaimed: - Tric-trac! Who is in is in, who's out is out!
And the wolf (perhaps the most famous late Ezekiel and the three little pigs) remained out.
will say: - It has to do that!? Got to do that memories do not emerge at random point, and as a scent in the air reminds us of a certain moment of our existence, so today for some situations or events a sort of reverse process took me back to the memory of that kind of peremptory diktat.
Codest was more or less, that Mr Fini agreed to undergo the Cav. B. before the last election, and it was more or less in this latter fashion that he, too, Mr. Fini, AN dismissed in a few minutes, with placet, perhaps for some obtorto neck, all the cadres of the party, certainly in dismay of most of the base and middle management, who shortly thereafter, would have seen the celebration of conferences and farce as the hasty cancellation of values, recent and distant memory and future expectations for the uncertain prospect an adventure in a vacuum without reference to the more pragmatic political opportunism, on a barge in the tax route is gradually changing from the polls or the personal needs of the "prince" - so to speak! -.
I must confess, but I have said on several occasions that what is most disconcerting and I mean those 'bitterness (which still continues) in Codest crucial moment, was not so much the smallness cialtronesca of the head, as the lightness opportunism with which the soldiers went back (by Francesco Storace'll tell you another time), probably more worried about their re-nomination to the ideas and values name of which they were elected and managers who had that responsibility toward the base and quell'elettorato who had placed their trust in them and their expectations, their hopes. And indeed, to be even more honest, who for decades gave them food and a life of privilege. Yeah! The place! Mino Maccari wrote on the Wild: "Let those who made roast trial was put in place"
Other times, my friends. But back to us, what Our continued to do well or badly after I described last post, but this morning that the national press gives an account of the last statements of the Cav. B., who once said he would like the beautiful Anatrini: - Tric-trac! Who is in is in, who's out and out! That is: who is not with the majority of the PDL (ie me) can start packing.
And now the question that arises is this: what will our brave "colonels"? Mr. Fini will follow in a new adventure, uncertain what values \u200b\u200boutside of the right, because he stood costs, or This "samples" of coherence to one's values \u200b\u200band ideals, will opt for the certainty of the "right" with the hope the re-bid?
Well ... Mr Fini said that as proverbiuccio? Who makes the wait! Yes, a little over a year does with its tric-trac followed it all, maybe today, for the same reasons "ideal" all the desert you. They will do very well!
Other times, other men: I'm thinking of the Second World War, to the ruling class that instead of successfully recycled in DC (or elsewhere, others did so in droves) as although it was possible, he decided to create the MSI and its ideas, values, their hopes decided to fight - and suffer - and keep the margin ostracized for decades.
I feel deep inside (with some humility) heir to them, and I strongly believe that there is no chair or prebend or remuneration which may lead to renounce his ideas. But I want to add
another consideration, since I can not in any way take away my respect to those (I mean basic, middle and to the many elected representatives in the institutions of AN: the District Council, to regional ones) those decisions have been insane, continuing against their will to perform with integrity and honesty to their mandate: It is not realized Mr. Fini of the difficulties that have faced Codest flowing in PDL? Difficulties in relationships, quota of an office ... conflicts for applications where very often the "best" they had to bow his head in front of the "number" or cialtronbesca marioleria some people of "forks" of political adventurers or recycled broken every practice and intrigues ... He did not realize, ours, that his continued utterances while sinking, the disagreements between elected and electorate of AN added reference to these relations even further difficulties in the PDL, if not ostracized?
Now I believe you can always start all over again. This at least shows the history, from natural disasters to wars, et cetera. But I also believe that all evil is not a silver lining, ... I just want to wish that somehow you manage the National Right to overcome this crisis, if it manages to brush off rogues and adventurers to come to change everything, as he said this is not the Leopard: that the change is not given as almost always happens to those who change everything to not change anything at all.

How Does Glue For Steel Work

and he wanted to set fire to the ships ... STILL LIFE









Dear friends, I see
, with a little 'sense of guilt that many of you have continued to visit this blog. I wonder if it had not been the case to return from "leave" a little ' prima. Ma subito mi viene il dubbio che forse sarebbe meglio non rientrare mai più. Sono certo che intendete cosa voglio dire.
E non intendo per nulla iniziare col solito piagnisteo. In Italia oramai piangono tutti, e non sembrano saper fare altro. Non ci sono soluzioni né formule, chi le spiattella non è altro che il solito sciocco di turno. Penso infatti che la “matassa” della realtà sia così aggrovigliata che non sia più possibile oramai districarla. Né capire come stiano le cose. Né riesco a vedere (ma non sono veggente), chi sia in grado di brandire la scure.
Non vedo dunque nessun appiglio che possa consentire al buon senso, alla normale ragionevolezza, di interpretare i fatti per darsi una ragione of events, not of events.
Good Machiavelli taught us to infer and interpret, but more to learn from history. And I in these days, if I look behind us, nothing more I can see that the Spaniards in the sixteenth century (the very years in which Maestro Nicholas exiled in San Casciano elaborated the foundations of Political Science), landed on the coast of ' Central America gave fire to his ships not to return. To be forced to go ever further in their work of the conquistadors. Questions: - what for, CODEST thought? Yeah! - I will reflect: - For what! In fact there is only similar (but si tratta soltanto di una “immagine”) un signore che brucia le navi per non arretrare dal nulla in cui si è cacciato. Alludo al signor presidente Fini, il quale è voluto andare ad ogni costo nel PDL del Cav. Ma ora (novello democristiano) fa di tutto per remargli contro… Continua, chi riesce a comprenderne la ragione è bravo, a fare di tutto per allontanare definitivamente l’elettorato di riferimento di Alleanza Nazionale (in questo il suo dar fuoco alle navi) con dissennati proclami sinistresi (par proprio che abbia il terrore che quei coglioni dei cosiddetti colonnelli, facendo retromarcia dal PDL, lo scarichino lasciandolo ai propri deliri). Ma quel che è peggio che con codesto elettorato, oramai sbandato e senza punti di riferimento (del resto se tanti fossero stati disposti verso F.I. non avrebbero votato A.N.) non fa altro che alimentare il proprio “nemico mortale”: la Lega (o almeno ciò un tempo avrebbe essa dovuto rappresentare). L’unico partito politico decisamente nemico della Nazione e della sua unità. Fatto salvo, s’intende, qualche residuo beota vetero comunista malato d’Internazionale. I preti per oggi li lascio in pace! Han troppo da fare con altre faccenduole…
Così è dell’avventura “politica” del Nostro presidente, il quale, come diceva un caro amico citando spesso la “legge di Peeter”: ha raggiunti il massimo livello della propria incompetenza !
Sincerely, Your
bs
