Ocean City Senior Week 2010

Propagandhi-hearted (black)

" We piss on his head and then tell us that it rains "
(M. Travaglio)


The recent clashes between students and security forces, an expression of deep discomfort generations, they did check all of a sudden, a previously unknown species: the of Propagandhi.
That's right. It is a mistake of writing, but the new product "made in Italy" born of the our ruling class. It is divided into three groups and includes all those people who exploit for propaganda purposes thought categories of non-violent Gandhian junction.

The first group composed of those who believe (aka those who are there ") are the followers of the evangelical" turn the other cheek ", taking a teaching model where the damage when the take. Also because they do not ever take them.
Propagandhi of the first type, in fact, make up the immense universe of "moderate ", ie all those who, by nature, or more prosaically, for ass, never found in situations that lead them in the genuine and legitimate desire to protest. They are the ones that "anything goes" because to them it's alright. They are the ones who tell you what is right and what is do wrong because they are illuminated by the word of the Lord (by the way: best wishes to him and this blog, which is one year old! ). They are the ones that "violence is always wrong", not because violence is always wrong actually, but because it is easier and nice to say and does not involve the laborious exercise of critical thinking. Are those for which the flag of peace becomes the most any of the symbols, which makes the deaf to the grievances of the people and blind to the different (and perhaps legitimate) reasons for the violence. They are the ones that if you do not get retirement, a safe place and a home, you must not cry, otherwise then wakes Napolitano.

The second group consists of those who pretend to believe (aka those that make us "): they do not care about anything or of reason or moral acceptability of violence (because, for them, morality is more often a hindrance than a value). Propagandhi of the second group, therefore, do not ask why there is no violence or whether it is right or wrong : they simply their interests. They are often the most violent of the violent, but their violence takes many forms and ways that do not offend the sensibilities Propagandhi of the first group. This species has
Parliament in its natural habitat. Here, for the future or kill the freedom of an entire nation simply press a button. Violent means, then. But with style.

The third group, finally, is the most sensational. E 'consists of all those who not having a face, not fear of losing (aka those that have both made "). They are the ones who have bad scratching and now preach well. They are the forgetful, those who hear them talk, they become locked and arrests "sins of youth" and that "when fascism all lived happily ever after." They are those who yesterday were on the side of the barricades and today are on the side of law enforcement and the state, who believe that they represent.
Below is a brief description of three representatives and purest examples of this category.

Maurizio Gasparri : first member of the militant and then Italian Social Movement, is one of the sons of politicians Giorgio Almirante, the fascist racial laws signatory of the manifesto and condemning the shooting all partisans of Grosseto had not laid down their weapons and they did not readily give up.
Gasparri, which now reads as part of a visionary madman che non quella di capogruppo dei senatori Pdl (del resto i lineamenti e lo sguardo non proprio sveglissimo lo rendono perfetto per il ruolo), ripete da giorni e in modo compulsivo proposte sconsiderate, come l’ arresto preventivo dei manifestanti. Dimenticando il suo passato (?) neofascista, quando, da deputato dell’MSI, si mischiava ai saluti romani e ai “ boia chi molla ” di un corteo del Fronte della Gioventù che assediava la Camera e minacciava alcuni deputati.

Smemorato è anche Ignazio Benito Maria La Russa , figlio di un senatore missino e fratello di Romano, oggi assessore regionale lombardo all’industria. L’attuale Minister of Defence, the protagonist of an anti-violence Annozero hysterical scene, he forgets a few facts.
as when, in 1973, during an unauthorized demonstration of the Youth Front, of which he was one of the main leaders, and other neo-fascist groups, a hand grenade (!) killed the policeman and Antonio Marino wounded 12 others.
Or when, again in the events of the '70s, Ignacio Benito used to be accompanied by a German shepherd . The dog, as he himself confirmed, he barked as he hears the word "comrade." A follower of the Mahatma.

But the primacy of memory is a little Gianni Alemanno, the mayor of Rome that "if it touches the center nun." Gianni, besides being the father of Pino Rauti , historic leader of the far right considered one of the "moral responsibility " of neo-fascist massacre of Piazza della Loggia , has a history not just as a boy home and church. Although it will never convicted of the offenses charged in the '80s is arrested three times: in '81 for assaulting a young left-wing, 82 for throwing a Molotov cocktail against the embassy of 'resistance to the USSR and 89 aggravated public official.

born from the mouths of Propagandhi, then, are more or less shared warnings against violence become the wool over the eyes, simple and subtle gimmicks aimed at ignore (Propagandhi of the first kind), isolate (Propagandhi of the second type) or repress (Propagandhi of the Third Kind) dissent.
The message is clear: if your house is burning, the water you use to clean your hands. Die, but with style.

Indeed, we Italians, us.

Sonicare Flexcare Vs Oral B

What have I done

I read my Blog a list drawn up by the students of the art school, which lists some things that we are made. I am, alas, not to share: I find a concentration of banality, of stereotypes that are derived from real events that have marked, but are not "part" of me. Let alone the young students of a school of art, which have 20-25 years. I
elements seem too politically correct, too "right". Maybe because I am in tune with lasimo (which I read but little comment). Maybe because I come from a family that voted and DC to parents who were too young for the '68 and that in '77 were too busy doing nights with a newborn pain in the ass and work to maintain it.
But really, long story short, here are the things that I've made: The

  • smile of Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino
  • September 11
  • The voice of Maria Callas singing "Casta Diva "
  • Lieutenant Lo Russo of" Mediterranean "
  • The images of the G8 summit in Genoa
  • L 'Annunciation Massimo Troisi and Dario Fo's Mistero Buffo
  • " Luke, I am your father "
  • Lewinsky scandal
  • mustache Mike D'Antoni , his face a bit 'so Dino Meneghin
  • The death of Ayrton Senna
  • The clashes Rosarno
  • Floods in Lombardy and Piedmont 1994 and 2000
  • L ' attack Rabin
  • The Corto Maltese jacket and fins Asterix

Zulu In The Military Alphabet

Trust.

" The problem is that 90% of the politicians ruin the good name of the other 10% "
(H. Kissinger)


L ' acupuncture. Other than the galloping public debt (by the way, a new record of € 1,867,398,000,000), the workers laid off, the open-air dumps in Naples, the conflict of interests and the 'Ndrangheta (which, mind you, Milan does not exist). The real problem is acupuncture.
not talk about bribes and rewards. Scilipoti Domenico, born in 1957, elected representative with the 'Italy of Values \u200b\u200b , gave confidence to the Berlusconi government (the second call, "the the first was in the bathroom ") believe that the majority neocofermata will undertake to defend the practice and the good name of this therapy ultimate in Italy, Europe and worldwide.
Indeed not. He gave it a troupe of Annozero bothered his mother.
Indeed not, has given it because he is against 'usury and racketeering the banking world, from which his new flame, that Silvio Berlusconi, is known to be extraneous.
The champion of the ancient Chinese therapy has thus finally liberated the camp from all the malicious entries that saw his sudden illumination pro-government after 12 years of fierce antiberlusconismo and 32 votes of no confidence in Berlusconi (the last one in the distant September 2010), as encouragement for some little trouble out of economic justice in which he had just hunted. Seven foreclosed properties and debts of € 200 thousand . Trifles.
Maligne are also dozens of people who, having shown in his favor in Piazza San Silvestro in Rome, confessed to being paid . By whom? From him, of course.
But always for the good of Italy.

in absolute bad faith was also the strange and disturbing character, not later a few weeks ago, fantasized imaginary monetary donations received by Mr Antonio Razzi (IDV, of course) to go to the benches of the majority. The fact that race is actually passed by the majority and having the same name and the same face of the man who a few weeks earlier denounced the attempt of corruption, it is pure coincidence.
giving their trust to the majority that gave him a few weeks before rewards in exchange for a vote, Rockets, has made a clear and explicit choice of responsibility.
For the good of Italy.

Woe to touch the soldier Calearo then. The industrial service in the ranks of the Democratic Party is going on in relief of Berlusconi - confirming they deserve the trust placed in him by Veltroni - because "entrepreneurs ask me" and because in any case, it is clear he is in Parliament "for fun" . For the good of Italy.

Nothing to say even on the choice of (ex)-Finian fururoliberista- Catia Polidori discouraged. Of course, it is very marked similarity between her and the blonde, not later than one month ago, opened the first meeting of "Future and Freedom," during which he announced the release of the party by the Government and asked for the resignation of Berlusconi. But they are just coincidences.
As a real connection was the reason why a colleague of Maria Grazia Siliquini party to vote against the censure. He said: "Ten minutes before the vote I'll look in the mirror and decide." What we could do, the poor, if the mirror was broken? And what can do, now, if Berlusconi offers you a chair sottosegretarario ? Will accept.
For the good of Italy.

The epic proportions of this clear, obvious and indisputable victory of the government and the majority, leave now open two possible scenarios, which see the Constitutional Court's ruling on the legal impediment a focal point.
Judgement, because of the hot weather of recent days and so that it might be given a political reading, was in fact brilliantly moved from 14th December to January. Just when the Court's decision will determine the future of the government and when, therefore, the climate will undoubtedly spread.

According to the verdict of the Consulta, Berlusconi has faced two alternatives.
Where the Court branded the law as unconstitutional - hypothesis supported by the vast maggioranza dei giuristi – il Premier si giocherà il tutto per tutto chiedendo elezioni anticipate, potendo contare su una legge elettorale che lo favorisce e che fa invidia a quella con cui il listone fascista, nel 1924, ottenne la maggioranza in Parlamento.
Nel caso in cui la Corte desse il via libera al legittimo impedimento, Berlusconi vivacchierà fino ad ottobre 2011 - data in cui scadrà lo scudo per i suoi processi - cercando di allargare la maggioranza nell’unico modo che conosce. A quel punto si apriranno due strade: o l’approvazione del lodo Alfano (in)Costituzionale , per la quale è necessario che la campagna acquisti vada a buon fine, or new elections.
Everything, as always, in and for the good of Italy.

Viva Italy.

What To Say On A Sympathy Card For Breast Cancer

The fair doubt be there

In the Christmas period, flower tips for buying gifts, especially children. I read everywhere good intentions both in a quantitative sense (enough of this body to consume that fills the homes of games) is in a qualitative sense (no plastic wood, so no quality brands, no male / female, yes unisex). I do
outing: this year we give our parents the week at sea and perhaps some shit (like a pet or bracelets), my aunt and I specifically asked to give the warm pajamas and possibly some shit (so much so that resist), my in-laws do not remember if I sent them but trust me, other friends and relatives so they do what the hell they like and that fits me (and I think especially to the family of Luke and my friends) is that no (and I think particularly in some of my relatives).
In particular, during this time seems to go all the rage, the word "education" like absolution from all wickedness ("Oh, and you give me a restaurant kitchen pink Hello Kitty 1:1 scale?" "Oh, but it's educational!").
Apart from that I have yet to understand what education is and what is not (in my opinion, even stepping on a dog shit on the street is educational: to educate you to be more careful where you step). Apart from that Marguerite Yourcenar said "Whatever happens, I learn." Apart from that the concept of education is closely related to the time where you live: at the time of my grandfather's rod was educational.
Apart from all these considerations, I said, I stand in the shoes of children. I was pissed off like a hyena when a person is considered a great intellectual I just got the test xxx "because you know, I know that you started to read Harry Potter." But how dare you? Not only and not so much because of the subject matter and I know I am ready to show off like you. Not only and not so much that I do not interest me every day to the theaters of domestic politics and crime we call TG does not mean that I live out of this world. Most of all, because the fact that someone thought I could "educate" according to his taste makes me furious: I'm not a circus animal (and even if I were, you deserve to do what is in my nature and animal to perform in a circus).
I will say, but it is your duty to educate your children. Exactly, my duty, not a game.
Please, I am pleased that, thanks to a game, my children acquire certain skills. But what I do not tolerate is the presumption behind the label of "education." That sounds a bit 'as if your son does not play with this toy, never learn to ... (and put the word that you want: brush your teeth, riding a bike, do the "i" with dot above .. .). "
This presumption is a bit 'with the convention that the couple wants the toy guns are prohibited in the miseducating all ages and in all their forms, especially firearms. According to my illustrious master teacher, we in the West post '68 have the absolute taboo of violence associated with childcare: children should not know or practice violence, no product narrative for children should contain even a minimum of violence. The result is that the violence is certainly not disappeared from our society, but children who live in certain environments grow up without being able to manage it (or its own, it is useless to deny, nor that of others), even when it comes to a verbal clash a bit 'more lively and perfectly legitimate. But I do not want to do a rant about violence in society, that toy guns are not violence, in my opinion.
Of course us adults a child with a gun conjures up images very bad: I have a friend run away from Uganda, so you know I know.
But for the child the toy gun is anything but: it is the symbolic vehicle through which it has access to certain stories in general, be the protagonist. It is the sword of St. Michael slaying the Devil, Thor's hammer that drives away demons and monsters, Gandalf's staff, which stops the fire demon.
Children who were playing cowboys in the '50s is that we really had with the Indians: I dream of fire on the Native Americans as symbols of evil. What then is the maximum that some people become a symbol of evil, OK. But now the problem is not the gun, I'd say.
When my children play with Winx, battling monsters with spells and fireballs: these are their weapons. Are the most ethical of a gun or a sword or a stick? I do not think, even if a ball of fire to pretend it does not hurt as a stick pulled by mistake in the head (but, for that matter, it hurts even if riding a broom so clumsy as to mimic the steps the mother or dad).
I had toy guns my father and little else. But I remember very well that shot with his fingers, imitating Charlie's Angels or Magnum PI Still in my house will never get a real weapon, toy and a weapon that can hurt is always carefully locked up, if they ever happen. But I understand my children when they use the gun or bubble-shooting a gun as a weapon made with Lego toys. It will also
che ho negli occhi questa immagine, tratta dal prologo di Hellboy II (che ho rivisto recentemente per un compito del Diegozillalab ). Siamo negli anni Cinquanta, è la vigilia di Natale, Hellboy è un bambino di 8 anni con tutti gli annessi e connessi del caso (la passione per i pupazzi animati da ventriloqui in TV, il desiderio di restare alzato per vedere Babbo Natale, la riluttanza a lavarsi i denti prima di andare a dormire). Suo padre (l'umano che l'ha allevato dopo il suo arrivo nel nostro mondo) gli legge una storia per convincerlo ad andare a letto. Alla fine della storia, vediamo HB a letto con tutto ciò che gli è più caro: il pupazzo come quello dello show in TV e una pistola giocattolo, un revolver come quelli dei cowboy (che oltretutto richiama l'enorme pistola che lui stesso userà da grande, nella sua attività di investigatore del paranormale). Ecco, a me questa immagine fa una tenerezza pazzesca, nonostante la presenza di una pistola: è l'immagine di un bambino che vuole sentirsi un paladino del Bene (nonostante la sua immagine sia quella del Male per eccellenza).

Breast Cancer Relief Foundation



Vengo da un lunghissimo ponte che è stato piacevole e impegnativo: mercoledì Artigiano in Fiera insieme alla mia famiglia e a un fratello di Luca, giovedì e venerdì a casa con i bambini, venerdì lezione di tribal a una mia amica e poi cena con le vecchie amiche del liceo, sabato corso mensile con la Pedretti e cena pantagruelica, Christmas lunch yesterday of bonsai and again Artigiano in Fiera (but only with Luke, because since yesterday afternoon, the children are grandparents).
In between, the news of the failure doctorate from the other side I am sorry but I have also removed a lot of anxiety (apart from the uncertainty of the future, I should have done at the speed of light a lot of practice and required to register in time). Today
are at work. The children are from my mom, so I got up and I had breakfast just thinking to myself. I arrived at work at 7:45, an hour and a quarter before what would be my time, which means that I get out around 15.30 and I'm going to take my children. Tomorrow will not be
very different, because Luke will stay at home with them (or rather, will be on vacation and takes them with him on his many turns). For the rest of the week, my mom will be at our house, to keep them.
Maybe it's the fact of not having the weight of their children. Or maybe it's because they are more uncertain about my future. The fact is that today is Monday and I am happy to be here in the office. Can I make plans, plan work, think about what I expected. There are with all of my head, not with one foot in the door.
is not the work of my life, probably will return many of the doubts I've had in recent months (but not from September to today), probably next year will be the Rogne numerosissime.
Ma ci sto bene, ci voglio star bene. Voglio essere qui, almeno per ora, e non più con la testa altrove.

Wha Phones Can You Use With Boost Sim Card

First stop

Tra le tante cose che ho in testa, ce n'era una che avevo cominciato con molto entusiasmo e che man mano mi suscitava sempre maggiori perplessità. Non solo e non tanto per l'impegno e i trasferimenti che mi avrebbe richiesto, quanto perché, da quando avevo preso quella decisione a oggi, mi sembrava che la situazione non fosse più così propizia, soprattutto perché sul lavoro mi si prospetta di fare un certo percorso di crescita.
Tuttavia, dall'altro lato, anche fare quell'esperienza sarebbe stata un bel percorso di crescita.
Sono stata tolta dall'imbarazzo, because I was the preferred someone else. The fact that this person I have been preferred for reasons beyond the substance does not cause me any pain, in fact: I know I still have the qualities to make that path, if and when I decide to try again. And while I have plenty of time to enjoy my small part-time and new tasks facing me at work. I can dedicate myself to the inclusion of Hector to the maternal. Can I set up a small operation, maybe in the other situation would have been a bit 'more annoying. Can I invest a bit 'more purple and in my new project. I can dedicate myself to dance with greater confidence.
And most importantly, momatwork can go back to visit me without fear of a bludgeoned by my husband (that I know that we understand just me and her). But these things are.

American Eagle Holister

things wise and wonderful

that we are not the family of Mulino Bianco seems to me common ground, despite the bucolic location. Indeed, there are times when maybe make a nice stroll downtown would be therapeutic and instead you find yourself stuck in a backwater by bad weather.
But, fortunately, there are also times when, no matter where we live, we drink tea with a friend and discuss dance, comics and myths of the Arab world. Or where we enjoy the proximity to Milan and reached in half an hour (wrong path in part) the place where she performed my teacher with his company.
Friday night game was not auspicious: in the afternoon and Ettore Amelia had slept very little, and we feared that did not go wake up the show. Instead, despite the abbiocco car, just arrived at the place of the aperitif woke up and started playing with each other and with our friends present. They watched the show all happy and then, when me and Luke we improvised a quartet along with Pedretti and her daughter had fun listening to us.
The nice thing is that they were a lot of months since I played as I have hands instead of wood and I played well, I enjoyed it and I did something good with my husband. Will the magic of cymbals Pedretti (and in fact I asked to buy them, The next time that happens) ...
Then, when a bit 'of people swarmed the stage and it was all for them, Amelia and Hector did not want to know to leave. If it was not that the next day we wanted to get up early to go to fair, I would be curious to see how they governed. Ettore certainly did not feel intimidated by the unknown place, since at one point took the stairs and climbed upstairs all by myself, shooting well when I found and told him to expect.
On Saturday the show was certainly full, but not stressful: I was very determined to go when the people had given me too much discomfort. We looked a lot more than abbiamo comprato, non ci siamo lasciati trascinare dal consumismo ma abbiamo preso solo ciò che avevamo programmato. Alcune cose sono ancora in sospeso: pensiamo di tornare giovedì pomeriggio per prendere ancora una tovaglia provenzale e un po' di cibo vario.
La cosa che mi è piaciuta di più è stata proprio una sciocchezza. Pensavo che, come gli altri anni, avremmo pranzato a base di schifezze (e infatti in prima battuta ci siamo presi un panino al prosciutto portoghese). Invece siamo stati attirati da un chiosco allestito tipo taverna medievale, dove abbiamo preso un menu a base di zuppa di legumi. Di fronte a noi, c'era il banchetto di un gruppo scozzese, con una signora in costume che teneva un piccolo gufo sulla spalla. Ovviamente Amelia and I, we loose as the owl was beautiful, and it took a beautiful and good to make it clear to Amy that the coexistence of our cats and the little bird of prey would be impossible.
Sunday then there were the grandparents of Turin, and soon after their departure, Luke led by my children, where they remained today (we are alternating in the stay at home because we have decided to keep Hector at home to the nest December, waiting for the mother then begin in January).
Now, I have an ambivalent attitude of "taking their own space" depending on who speaks and how he speaks, I partly a reaction of solidarity or not.
Oscillo, including myself, believe in the that have their own space is sacrosanct and think it is a myth overrated. In general, I tend more to the second hypothesis: I like to involve children in most of the things I do. Friday night, I would not have had so much fun if it were not for them. And I can not even imagine going for a ride to the sea Trebbia or without them without feeling guilty or at least incomplete (although then complain about the road or the sand or is willing to do anything when I'm there) .
other hand, I admit to being together as a couple, alone, in moments that are normally dedicated to putting the kids to bed, has its good reason. Especially if you come from a full immersion 4 days with the kids and so you wait a whole month.
not imagine now who knows what: we care too much for our ceiling to hang the chandeliers. Let's say that, apart from pleasurable activities, however, that usually we do at other times, the great thing was to prepare dinner quietly and without thinking about the taste of 4, read in bed without having to serve with 500 pages of stories, to talk without being interrupted.
No, not spend money to go for a romantic weekend with my husband. They are the worst score of the baby sitter because I do not care for romantic dinners or clubbing: If you eat out, you go to places where my children have a right to exist. But I admit that keeping
my kids one night every so often is the best gift that my can do to me and my husband.

Ankle Pressure Points

Vittorio and Marcello in acupuncture: from riches to rags. Silvio

" Do not ask me who the political compromises with the mafia. If you answer, could undermine the rule "
(T. Buscetta)




E 'in 1974. Nixon resigns over Watergate scandal, ABC sends the first episode of Happy Days , Italy mourns the eight martyrs of neo-fascist massacre of Piazza della Loggia. A man crossed the first gate Villa San Martino , Arcore. Casa Berlusconi .
Occhialoni da vista in viso, accento siciliano, sguardo da duro. Il suo nome è Vittorio Mangano , il suo curriculum ricco di arresti e denunce . Berlusconi dice di averlo assunto come stalliere . E in effetti la splendida residenza appena prelevata a un prezzo stracciato dalle mani di Annamaria Casati Stampa, un’orfana minorenne, ospita, all’interno dello sterminato parco che la circonda, un maneggio.
C'è il maneggio, dunque, e c’è il fattore. Mancano, però, i cavalli . E mancheranno per tutti i due anni di permanenza dell'oscuro personaggio in villa.

Due anni che Mangano, joined by his wife and children in Arcore, does not pass between saddles and oats, but living in close contact with the Knight and his family takes her children to school regularly at the same dinner table Silvio even in the presence of guests. Sometimes also invites his friends in Sicily: according to several repentant, are nothing but mafia fugitives.
Sometimes the stay is interrupted. At stake are not horse races, but the aftermath of Sicilian life: two convictions for receiving stolen property and misuse of port knife.
served in prison punishment, return home Mangano Silvio , who caught his legendary philanthropic spirit-assured, I take back with open arms both times. What do you want, I know you guys!
Berlusconi did not even bat an eyelid when the police warned him that his tenant-farmer is actually an inside guy kidnapping attempt against a longtime friend of Knight. There is therefore no wonder that Silvio turns a blind eye even when they disappear from the villa paintings, jewelry and other valuables : simple reimbursement of expenses. In fact

Berlusconi, who is not stupid, Mangano knows how. The decision to host Arcore - as affirmed by the Court of Palermo - was taken during a meeting dell'Edilnord occurred in the offices in Milan. Present Berlusconi and three Mafia bosses of the first order: Francesco di Carlo, who will tell boss encounter at Alton magisrati, Mimmo Teresi, boss of the family of Santa Maria del Gesù, and Stefano goodness, the boss of bosses, head of the Cosa Nostra who died a few years later killed at the hands of Corleonesi of Toto Riina. Craftsman meeting Marcello Dell'Utri, a close friend of Berlusconi, who is in the mafia the ideal shelter for the safety of the Knight. According to the ruling of the Court of Appeal of Palermo and sentenced him to seven years' imprisonment for complicity with the Mafia, Dell'Utri was the intermediary that allowed Mafia to extort money and favors to Berlusconi and his companies. In practice, the Knight, concerned about the kidnappings and threats from the mafia, would not have addressed the Police and the judiciary for protection, but the mafia itself. Matter of taste.

In 1976, two years after his arrival, Mangano leave forever Villa San Martino. Dell'Utri but does not leave him. Marcello, that between the 70s and 80s partecipara at least two dinners with top-level Mafia bosses , can be intercepted by the police as he discusses on the phone with Mangano of horses to be delivered to the hotel - the second when Paolo Borsellino Mangano talks about horses means lots of heroin - and meet for at least two occasions (in November 1993, the mind works to create Force Italy), the Mafia boss, returned from a sentence of 10 years for drug trafficking (not by chance Borsellino defines it as the "bridgehead north of the Cosa Nostra" for drug trafficking). Arrested again in '95, Mangano will undergo three other convictions: in '99 will be sentenced to 15 years for drugs and 15 others for racketeering, will be sentenced in 2000 to 'life imprisonment for double murder . He dies in prison on July 23 of that year. Do you understand these factors?
Berlusconi seems to want to leave behind this cumbersome past. That, however, at least according to statements by the financier Philip Rapier and some repentant, some signs leaves. Like 113 billion lire from unknown (about € 250milioni of current) that between 1975 and 1983 fill up his holding company Fininvest. Where is this money? And 'the treasure of goodness Stefano, as claimed by the repentant? We'll never know. On 26 November 2002, when the judges come to Palermo at Palazzo Chigi to ask him this simple question of clarification, Berlusconi will use right to remain silent.

Who, then, Silvio Berlusconi? An unwitting accomplice? A helpless victim? Or a contractor collusion? Questions that remain unanswered. Unless you want to listen to Frank Coppola, a famous mobster of the '60s, when questioned by a magistrate on what was actually the mafia, said: "Suppose there is a competition for public office and there are three candidates: a collusion, a stupid one and very close to the government. Will always win that stupid.

This is the mafia. "
