Day 300: Obama-ing the New Italian Parliament

As many who are following International Politics know, we have had a major 'apparent' turn around during the latest elections.

A new party called '5 Star Movement' ranked up 1/3 of all votes in the name of Change, people shouted 'CHANGE' and boarded the Change Movement.

Yesterday the new Parliament was declared, the '5Star Movement' faithful to the promise of not meddling with 'old politics' aka thieves and liars ended up not participating in the government proposal of the left, they believed that they could turn around the table once and for all to then have it all, a new election and the majority of votes to rule.

I voted for the 5 star movement, because they promised the Hope of Change, something other parties didn't even mention because the specific Change we were talking about was that they would have to leave Parliament 'en mass', and leave it up to the upcomers, the voice of Change, to redo the whole political scene, rewrite the rules of the game and design a New World.

One point that shows how clearly we were all mistaken is the end of this story, due to the staunch stand against the past and anything to do with it, what happened was that the old players got together, dropped the mask of the pretense of opposing each other and pledged with the Italian President to accept another 7 years of term and appoint THEM, together as a government or 'large understanding'.

The 'large understanding' definition represents government that embrace parties that are from both the left and the right side of Parliament, in some countries this has been possible due to their existence not in opposition to each other but as complementary forces, this is not the case in Italy, the left are the liberals and the right wing represents the democrats.

By definition their objectives and interests are social for the first group and corporate-ish for the second, an obvious clash, the only thing that is cool about what happened is that the games are becoming clearer, the delusion of Democracy and the illusion that we have any power in the decision making of our countries through our government as our representative has finally fallen, they don't give a hoot about anyone, and if they are cornered into the choice of giving up power or exposing the true nature of the game, they'll go for exposure because there will always be Propaganda good enough to convince the dumb masses that we have become that things are not as they seem, that they are working for the best of all, that they are in fact the responsible ones doing the real interest of the country.

Now, to keep up the charade, the illusion of change had to be sustained somehow, we had to 'Obama' our parliament; as much as the US interpreted a black man as 'Change' we would have to take the example and do even better, the trick must be comparable to the cry for Change and we had a big cry here, so we put 7 women as Ministers, highest number ever, including a black woman at the Ministry of Integration, we have effectively now Obama-ed ourselves into the illusion of Change.

Just one not for the political disinformed that may raise some eyebrows, the ministers given to women were nothing to worry about, including the Ministry of Justice, because as we know if you have Money you can bypass any law, you exist beyond and above the Law, hence no woman is in any way in a position to damage or threaten the system, not even Emma Bonino, a Human right feminist activist who has been given the prestigious Ministry of Foreign Affair, a nice place that guarantees first class travels all over the world while representing the country.

Has anyone noticed how the system will either cast you out if you are unbreakable or find ways to corrupt you and make you part of the game by giving you an interesting enough share of the pie? This is Emma Bonino's case, she was first invited into the Bilderberg, the banker's secret Club and then given a position of prestige, this is how we stop fighting the system or stop standing up for a new system, we are grown organically into it, we are made to love it and rewarded for our loyalty and for the promise to no longer misbehave and cross lines, hence why those who would be in a position to stand up, either intellectually or morally, end up giving in, we sell out, all of us have sold out, politicians, artists, intellectuals, all of us have sold out to the fake comforts and insurance policies offered by the system.

We sold out even with the 5 Star Movement, because we said we did not want to mix with the past, so the past took over and fucked us over again. Well thought out to try and be the incorruptible ones within a corrupted system, while we took a step back to governing, they all took a step forward and took the seats to govern again, Berlusconi at the head, most of the ministers are from his party (Surprise), and the 5 star movement took nothing, just a good dose of self righteousness and the idea that we are better than them - hence we will not participate.

Are we better really in any way? Because not governing was just what the system wanted from us, if we are waiting for a clean parliament to seat at our places of responsibility to change the system and make it work for All we may have to wait for looong, there is no clean system in this world and hence not a clean person, no one is innocent, standing up for a change doesn't make anyone of us any better because every day we are still participating within and as a Money System that allows and promotes abuses, there is no way to be clean until we design a clean world for everybody, and yes, we may have to get dirty to get clean, so as Sean Connery asked in The Untouchables "how far are we willing to go to bring Capone down?", we'll have to go the whole nine yards, first we start with the Capone inside each one of us, the bloodthirsty personalities we indulge that would do anything for power, greed and self interest and then we'll have to go for democratic elections and not just try once, you see the finger at the top of this blog?

This is one of our Parliamentary representatives, Gasparri, this was what he showed the people gathered in the Montecitorio square to oppose the reelection of an ottuagenarian President of the Republic (87 years old to be precise) as the guarantor of democracy and yet, he was reelected. He'll be in a wheelchair before the end of his term and that's fine, dementia in the highest roles of the government helps those who do not want to give any guarantees about what they are or will be doing.

He negotiated for his reelection that compromising tapes about a private conversation he had with a minister where he called a journalist an 'asshole' and another minister an 'idiot' should be destroyed, so he may rest in peace once he dies and no one would be able to dig into the real story of his support for bankers against the people and the weakest of society evicted from their homes and destroyed by debt.

While incidentally, our Minister for Economics is the general Director of Bankitalia, Fabrizio Saccomanni, another banker, get the drift? We are just changing the costumes and actors of the show but the pantomime is always the same, and of course we remain the slaves tied to a debt designed to keep us in place.

So, how far shall we go to get back into power?

All the way - let's just not make it bloody, shooting started today outside of the Italian Parliament, a desperate man said 'I wanted to hit the Politicians for what they are doing', but who is doing this, who is accepting the idea that we can't change, why do we exclude ourselves from participating actively in politics? Is the 5 Star movement the mesmerizing arm of the Bilderberg, are we being led once again to hope for change vs just changing? Why leave the parliament to the old games once we have our foot in?

We are not better, we are not cleaner, at the moment we have just one choice, get the finger or stand up. When we will be tired to be told to go get fucked, we may start to see the amazing common sense of Equal Money, when every Life will have Equal Value and Worth no one will any more be in a position to give the finger to anyone,we will redesign the world to include all of its parts, what we have done so far is not the best we can do, so how long shall we take the finger, how long are we giving ourselves the finger by not getting together under a common Manifesto for Human Rights that include ALL?

EqualMoney, no bloody revolutions, no shooting of Politicians (albeit tempting) no giving the finger back, just one by one standing to become the Change we want to see in this world, this is not Utopia, it's a Real Movement, a Self Movement that as it gathers power by numbers, will be both unstoppable and irreversible.

Join us.

Day 276: "La Dolce Vita" - Anyone Seen It?

I am engulfed in the aftermath of our elections.

I was suddenly devoured by doubts, what if this 5 Star Movement is a System Design?

This reflection was triggered by something I heard from one of the founders 'They have to thank us for having 'channeled' the Anger of the Italians into a Pacific Movement', this is indeed something to be thankful for, because as Austerity measures increase around the world for just the ones at the bottom of the Pyramid of Power, Anger is boiling up and unless we find solutions we have to prepare for the revolution the system has already prepared for, didn't we notice?

It's enough to look at the USA and at the Military State that has been setting in while nobody was watching, we have to consider as well that this system is set up so perfectly that is is like Las Vegas, it never loses, Revolution is fine too, they are ready, plus, anything we buy for it, they are selling and will make money on it, including the Anonymous Masks, there is no way so far for the people to move without fattening up the already Extra Fat Top Cats.

Another consideration about the Italian election is this government stalling, our 3 main parties have received 46 million euros more or less each for their electoral 'effort', only the movement 5 Stars auto financed itself and refused the reimbursement, but, if we go back to elections due to our inability to come to an agreement and grant Trust to the government to allow it to reach the Quorum Majority, we won't be able to put the most important and urgent changes up for vote, such as BIG, the law against conflict of interest, the law that will exclude criminals from parliament, the law that will reduce the ability of a politician to run for longer than 2 terms, the law that ends the elections financing policy for the parties, the cuts to the wages of the politicians and their golden pensions and free wifi to allow everybody to be virtually connected to establish a direct participatory democracy, we will waste another few months to 1 year to the next elections, PLUS, the next elections the same ones will cash in AGAIN the elections reimbursements!

Tonight the most important political show that we still have left, Servizio Pubblico (remember Italy is 61st on the Freedom of Information 2012 report) made a summary of the elections and the reasons why Italy went this way, it seems that people at the top didn't have the pulse of the actual situation of the country.

It is understandable, when you don't take pubic transport but your government blue car paid by the people to go around, you won't understand the problems of public transport, nor the fact that people who are now paid 420 euro a month through the unemployment dole (which is financed by public taxes we pay while we never get to share the profit of the Corporations, isn't it strange to share in the losses and not the profit?) can't make it to the end of the month nor guarantee their children a different future by sending them to university (?), people are not just angry, they are furious, people who go to work and don't have enough to buy food to the end of the month and have to go to Caritas for the free charity Meals are humiliated and people like my friend neighbor that throw themselves under a train because they can't face not being able to bring home the bacon, have obviously come to the end of their already very very short Rope.

It must be hard to miss out on all of these signs, including a man climbing the St. Peter Cupola to shout to the world he can't support his family or a Major going in his underwear out of Montecitorio to call Politicians Criminals and what they do Crimes against Life and that he will not join in as an accomplish -when you sit at the top and you look down, you just see the worker bees, not human beings just like you, equal in rights, equal in the right to not have to live the Austerity that is designed just for them, equal in the right to not have to live in fear, to not have to cry when you tell your story of misery as an honest man who always worked and are now asked to take a basic income grant - because as we have created the delusion that our worth lies in our work as stated in our Constitution, those who have none are now, in their own eyes, worthless, and they would rather die at the Ilva Plant while the factory pollutes beyond repair and kills as many as it employes over a 15 year time frame, than contemplate change. This is how screwed up we have become and we better realize, the screw up is Equal at the Top and at the bottom, without the bottom accepting what we have accepted and allowed as we gave up our self responsibility to participate in designing and supporting a system that included all in the equation vs always only just shortsightedly, thinking about ourselves.

This is WHY Berlusconi was voted again, we wanted to get back the last tax paid on property as he promised, no matter how long his nose grew while he said he would return the money and even when he wrote a letter to all Italians, including Churches who have NEVER paid the property tax, like never ever, as to point out that the top is disconnected from the bottom, from the left, from the right and even from God and his temporal powers. And 1/4 of the voters believed him, obviously those that do not read the papers and missed out on the Swiss Minister saying the money to pay back that tax won't be released any time soon and then proceeded to publicly discredit Berlusconi's promise, but hei, it was like a lottery ticket, missing the Las Vegas point of the Casino never losing, we still placed our chips on the table, because, You never know.

Are we being led on a wild goose chase now by the 5 Star Movement, maybe even without the knowledge of its founders? Why are we no longer tackling the point of the Sovereignty of the Money System? Grillo used to joke about it in his shows, until a few years ago, when he stopped mentioning it altogether. Are we trading a place in Parliament for keeping mum on the Money Point? Have we been given a path to follow by the Bankers and the controllers of the system so we would not implode and cause REAL damage? We won't know, for sure for now the anger has been contained into a Hope, into a Dream, another few months of looting are assured without watch, because we believe that we are now safe, that we have crossed the Power line into Direct Power.

How did we come to this point, to the point that we don't even trust, can't trust, even the changes we vote for? Well, we know how did we do it, one disconnecting step at the time, we are just as disconnected as those on Top, our network of disconnection is just smaller but not less dangerous.

Meanwhile, just for the result of this elections, the Government titles we have put on the market to cover the Imaginary Debt that builds up on Imaginary Money created against real Stock and Bonds with which we pay the most expensive Printing Agency of All times, the Banking System, have lost credibility due to JP Morgan advise to sell out all Italian titles and buy the safer German ones, in just one week we owe 2 billion more in interest to the Bankers by the end of the year, to the Un-nameables, the ones we have not yet pointed out publicly, we dance around them in a surreal movie in which we are, so far, just cameos.

Now we have been advised -like Greece...- to not exit the Euro, even though we are the lowest risk point in terms of consequences in the chain, we are now told that Italy would devalue of 30% if we took such a decision. FEAR FEAR FEAR.

Isn't it great the Euro idea, you set up a system through which you intertwine all your Slaves and their Self Interests, and anyone of them who pulls the Chain, is going to harm the others, so you'll have your Slaves looking out for You, without lifting a finger, you just press the FEAR button and have them jump, one against the other.

Now, today I watched a video about the Italian 'Dolce Vita' which enraged me so much I had to go and walk it off, a gentleman from Poland talked about how Italians don't like the Austerity that everyone is swallowing and this is because of their 'La Dolce Vita' attitude, not wanting to bite the bullet, we gained this fame through our 'I Screams' and Parma Hams, spaghetti and mandolins stories, we have been 'pictured' like people who spend their days in leisure in front of a glass of wine on the seaside, chasing women/men and having wild (romantic) sex everywhere.

I want to ask this gentleman, where is this 'Dolce Vita' to be found?

Is 'La Dolce Vita" even Real?

I grew up in Italy with NO access to 'La Dolce Vita', my family had enough to send me to school and get to the end of the month saving a little.

Most Italians didn't even have that then, and certainly in the past 10 years many couldn't even make ends meet, but we can't shake off the storytelling about Italy, it stands as one of those Implanted Dreams in people's Minds, another desire to aspire to, to fool-fill.

So, before embracing myths about a country you have not experienced in the flesh, stop, inform yourself, go and live on the minimum wage of that country for a while because THAT is the lowest point that we claim is FINE for some, and then write about it.

This way, one plus one we'll demystify this world, we'll take down the veils, hopes and dreams that prevent us from seeing what we have done, 'La Dolce Vita' is just another product to buy, it's an Idea of beautiful half naked women walking into fountains in their evening dresses with their boobs spilling out, pouting to be kissed, not a care in the world.

'La Dolce Vita' is a myth, if you walk into a fountain in Rome you will be fined, this is how far from reality we have taken ourselves, we hold dreams that are not even liveable, and to be clear not many have had it 'Sweet' here since the Roman Empire and before we started recording our grandness, when we look at Italy and all its beautiful art, those palaces and bridges, imposing useless Cathedrals where funny men wearing skirts and red shoes walk on red carpets toward altars where plenty jewellery is on display - while people out of those places starve - who built those, if not slaves, the same that built the pyramids a few lives later, are we under the impression that those temples of vanity came up through magical thinking or were they the labor of the sweat of surely underpaid -if at all- people who were just living what we live now, extreme inequality in a world of separation where we ended up unable to trust each other even when we seem to come together, how sad is this world we created and keep justifying?

Not All is Lost

If we wake up to the Truth of this World, it will be unpleasant, I can guarantee and it won't feel good either, realizing we are on a not-so-merry-ride and we have not gotten off it for quite some lives can come, conceded, as a shock. But what are the alternatives? Chasing dreams and hopes of a better future, of some savior, of some solutions that will fall on us from the outside just to miss out on our very Own Power to get back on the steering wheel and Change ?

Life doesn't have to be Austerity for Most and a Dream Life for just a bunch of us, we can start by giving to each other what we would like for ourselves, we have the will, we showed it with this elections, we have the drive too and are starting to see that considering what is best for All will include, well, ALL, and that includes You and me, in fact, the only way to create a world that works for Real is standing for the Good of All, the Whole is a Force to be reckoned with, there will be no need for revolutions or rebellions, but waking up is no longer a choice, to keep believing in the Images spread around by Media and Movies that do not reflect reality, we are condemning ourselves to Imaginary Better Lives vs Real Change, Real Lives, we have to take a deep Breath, a truck full of them maybe, and dive into the Truth of it all and One breath at the time, change ourselves into Trustworthy beings and the World with us, as Us. Join Us.

Equal Money - The Future of a World worth living in.
