Day 312: Unemployment where Life costs Money is a Crime against Humanity

Yesterday 100.000 people walked through Rome in protest of the Austerity measures that are running the country to its knees.

We are close to 70 million, so the well meaning gathering was a drop in the ocean of those that got together under the banner of the few Unions with less and less power that keep believing protesting will somehow 'show them' that people can't take it anymore. WRONG.

People have been marching since I was a kid, not that we remember of course because we dress up each new march with a sense of finality, of 'this is IT', when in fact that is not IT at all, it's just another exercise in futility to allow an outlet for the rising anger of the crowds and as such we could say even welcomed by those that remember better than we do what happens at the top when people go hungry for too long.

Every time we hear news of protests or manifestations to push an agenda we have to remember that for events that are so far more popular than a better life for all and human rights, people have moved 'en mass', one (disheartening) example is the soccer championship, where without pushing or promtping, last year people gathered in the millions in the streets to watch the semifinal and hopefully share a moment of glory before returning to their hopeless lives.

But talk Politics and our brains switch off, everything becomes too big, too unattainable, too complicated to even consider, this is why we have movements who preach to NOT go the political way with many followers, we like the path of 'Not Doing', we want to Zen-ify Change in place, no one knows how of course but this is the beauty of it, we have joined to say how we won't do it, we won't go political, no no, we want to be different, we want politics to change before we enter it and consider taking part in the political decision-making arena, so, HOW do we envision a change that we don't want to bring to the 'Change Table' such as Parliament?

Possibly this is how the French revolution came about, we reach the point of 'that's it', stuck into our own belief into our powerlesness and then we see our best solution as 'knock them dead', that's quite final we must agree, but history has proved that there is plenty ones moving just behind those in power ready to step in, so why don't WE?

Why don't WE get ready to enter politics and vote out what is not serving All, replacing it with a new program that supports a dignified Life for All, why do we believe in pipe dreams and promises of a citizenship grant, when those who should be granting it would rather shoot themselves in a foot than see what they have carefully crafted into a world of slaves come crumbling down?

We have to really start to understand what is going on, Debt is not about Money, those we owe to don't need our pitiful pennies to add to their unthinkable wealth, it is about creating willing slaves, those that count the slaves in the millions are out of touch with reality, the slaves are in the billions, they/we are the billions with limited choices who stand in line to do what is required of them/us to access 'more choices' for just themselves/ourselves and this is the point where we all get to lose.

Each one standing just for themselves is just 1, and there is no power of 1, unless the power is +1 as the sum of all the 1 who now count in the single digits of this world and can only acquire value if and when they come together.

Quite ironically the only way to get out of the mess we are in and start benefiting from what the world is ready to give to all in terms of production and infrastructure (albeit not yet in will), is to start considering the interests of All as My Interests and work to see that All get what is best, because in so doing, 'I' will get what is best as part of the All (Whole).

Three days ago a man walked into a bar and shot his employer and his son for having been threatened about losing his job, a little French revolution has already started, we see shooting politicians or employers as The Solution to what we perceive as an abuse to which we no longer feel able to comply, but how is this a solution?

Just practically, even if you shoot one here and there, the system is not going to change, on the contrary, it will find ways to strenghten its resolve to make abuse more legal and to protect its interests in a more weaponized way (see the Patriot Act), each move one makes in isolation based on its fears to not make it, is an ammunition the system uses to shoot back en masse, it's a bit like in gym class at school, one fails and all have to do squats and rest assured, any single, individual attempt to square the books is going to fail because it is not The Solution and we have no further space for squatting, we have squatted ourselves into the ground.

The Solution is to come together, decide what are the Human Rights we want to see in place in this world, what we believe should be granted to all and as such to 'Me', to We, The People, and then walk the required steps to bring about this change, it won't come by magic or bullets but by association, by getting together overcoming  every single reason we see as  a good reason not to, and that will have to include culture, religion, politics, soccer, anything we have placed a value on and that now stands as a point that separates us from others will have to go.

100000 marching in Rome with the situation we have is a joke, Youth unemployement is at 38% and rising - Hell-o,  those marches are the circus for the Union Believers, coming soon we'll have the circus for the other Unions' Disciples, those that could not even agree in principle that having jobless people in a system where life is based on money and labor is in fact a CRIME against humanity and that we have to change what we have tied Life into, because it ain't working, and people who die because we as a system failed to provide solutions to granting to all their right to Live, to Life is a crime against Humanity and as such no longer to be discussed as an economical reform but as a Human Right reform, where we decide -because imagine, we are still debating THIS- that there can be No Value without Life and as such Life is The Value, The Capital that must be uphold and protected and honored for All beyond any other mental delusions such as Money which became the Ruler of this world with our silent acceptance and allowance.

Stand to count as +1, we are a peaceful group that is offering a virtual venue to +1 the world, be part of it, make your one digit self and life count by coming together for a Solution for Life and all living beings.

Day 302: Why Is Life not a Human Right?

Today on TV the President of the Chamber of Parliament almost cried as she spoke about the man who tried to shoot the politicians 3 days ago. He said it didn't even matter which one, anyone of them would do, they are all equally responsible for what is going on.

In her speech she said that desperate people resort to desperate acts against themselves and others and that we are the ones pushing this world in that direction, the direction of Despair.

This admission of our collective responsibility caused an outrage as people who are struggling and NOT shooting politicians or attempting to, stood enraged against her words, we go back to the enforced belief of the dignity of honesty, meaning we see Beauty, Dignity and Honour in starving to death vs committing 'a crime'.

Isn't this ironic? Is there a small chance we may instead see that such belief must have been driven into us by some fake morality, the same morality that stands Pro Life in the womb and allows starvation out of it or as Napoleon said 'Without Religion (or Hope or the Law written to protect those that were always in power and wrote it, or Positive Thinking etc) the Poor would have already killed the Rich'. There is much truth in this, we are not killing them just because we have better, higher, post mortem plans.

 

Desperation leads to tragedies, we can see the consequences of desperation more clearly than desperation as a consequence in itself.

We are able to understand that desperate people are forced to desperate measures, the best choice they have to feed themselves and their family would be a neat crime, we have an increase of those as well, robberies, thefts, those are the middle desperate choices, if we may say so, it's the Entrepreneurship of the Poor since if you don't have Capital in a Capitalistic system, you first have to get your hands on the Capital, so robberies are just the Poor's way to withdraw the Capital they don't have access to and that they need to play the game.

Obviously banks don't lend money to the Poor, there is nothing they can be stolen from the Poor with a bit of patience because the Poor own nothing, hence not only lending to the Poor is a bad investment, it's plain stupid.

All this makes sense of course only if we embrace the belief that what is worthy, valuable the 'Capital' that we have to protect and defend is 'Money' and not Life.

And how clever is that, let's pile up Money to buy back our lives when we have a foot in the grave.

Can't do that, so where is the real value and worth of Life if not in Life itself considering that when one's Life is in peril we say 'we would give anything' for a chance to not in fact die.

There is no reason why we can't correct our miss-placement of Value and Worth, it happened one step at the time, either through agreement or while we were sleeping, now we just need to agree on something else, like the point that if Life and supporting Life is not the 1st of the Human Rights we embrace and agree on, all the others we fight for just don't make sense, it's like fighting to not allow rabbits to have their nails clipped in the face of an animal holocaust, or have demonstrations about forbidding people from carving hearts on tree trunks while we take down the amazon forest, we are kind of heavily, insanely out of perspective.

We can restore sanity to this world by standing and voting for a system that embraces Life above Money and Profit, the system is being designed, it's made of the Matter of each one that stand for it stating what Matters for Real, so if you don't Stand, what is The Matter with You? What is it going to be, Money or Life?

Stand up, Life is waiting.

#EqualMoney, where Life is the Capital and Money the temporary tool we will use to equalize the Value and Worth of Each one to Equality and Oneness.  Join us.

Day 292: The Dignity of Suicide vs The Shame of Poverty?

A few more senseless suicides in the Land of "La Dolce Vita' - heard about them? 

Certainly not, suicides are not the kind of News we want to broadcast, they spoil the images we want to project about Dream countries and Dream lives that just a bunch have access to - Suicides put the Bitter in the Sweetness of 'La Dolce Vita' and we want to prevent that, bad for the economy, bad for our image, there is nothing to gain from it, basically it's just bad - without a Profit.

A couple of pensioners have hanged themselves in their garage in the region of Marche in Italy, the news said they decided to take their life in their garage because that's where their most prized possession was, their Fiat Panda, somehow, it made sense to them.

The grief stricken brother of the woman, unable to overcome the loss, threw himself into the sea and drowned.

The News are highlighting the "dignity" of this couple, they never asked for money to anyone or for help, because they had "too much dignity" - to let everyone know about their Poverty.

He was unemployed,  at 62 unable to find a job in construction -the only thing he was good at, and she was on a 500 euro a month pension, it was not enough to pay the rent and feed themselves, so they just saw as their only solution to end their lives. With 'Dignity'.

One aspect of all this story left me wondering, if it's true that Money doesn't equal Life, why would people with no Money perceive themselves as worthless and their life as meaningless - and if Money is what gives Dignity to Life due to all the crap we bought into, wouldn't it be the most normal thing to allow access to this Vital "Dignifying" Resource to everybody until we can sort ourselves out - because there is something very wrong with believing that Life has value only in the measure that it can be valued through a Money tag, why isn't Life price-less?

And what is all this congratulatory wave about people who commit suicide vs asking for help, do we in fact prefer that the ones that can't make it just leave the stage, with "dignity", so we won't be forced to confront the shame of poverty and how we are deliberately not wanting to face the issue of Poverty as our collective responsibility?

Has "Dignity" become the reward, the medal we give to those who don't make any trouble, who accept the rule of this system all the way to their death vs stealing to eat or robbing a bank - thanks for not bothering anybody, if you die quietly we'll give you the "Dignity' we denied to you in Life, just don't make a big deal out of your 'grand finale' - and they did not, they were found in the morning hanged (cool way to go, clean, no mess, no noise) next to a note 'Please Forgive Us' - amazing.

Despair is everywhere, people in Bulgaria are having prayers to end the rise in suicides and the widespread despair - that will surely help...

Hasn't anyone noticed that Poverty has not ended ever no matter how many people prayed -and preyed, for it? Do we have a deadline after which we give up on God and start doing something and if we do have such a deadline, can we make it known so everyone who suffers can become aware of how long they have to wait  for the delusion to end and can set up their own Advent calendar, like for Christmas, with little paper windows behind which every day an image of hope tells them a solution is coming, and on day 24, at midnight, we can birth to life Jesus words and give to each other what we would like to receive. That would be nice.

Equal Money is a solution that doesn't require Faith nor prayers, it is in fact the end of the preying on those that did not have the stomach or the opportunity to do what is required to do to make it in this system,  it is the understanding that as the problem we can become the solution, that we can stand together and redefine what Money is, as a tool at the service of Life and then get on with using it that way, serving All Life Equally, redistributing access to the world resources to all, because Life is on sale, we know we have put a price tag on life, we know as well that we don't value each Life the same way, I read an article about 'Condolence Payments', it is even ridiculous to write it, those are the payments made to the 'victims of wars' -see what we do- we call people murdered in wars that we wage for resources 'victims', this way we elicit the image of people who 'happened to get killed' in a worthy cause as collateral damage, accidents on a path we seem to be unwilling to leave - and instead of redesigning the world, we redesign the words we use to create a buffer between what we do and our responsibility, our accountability, shit happens (by itself ), our language has adapted to explain this, we use grammar 'impersonally', so 'one' never has to feel the Shame of the world we have created.

Vietnam, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, there isn't 'One' taking these countries on, there is US, criminals  waging war against humanity and many other living beings standing in the way of Money and Profit.

Given our intentions it was fitting that we should price humans as cheaply as possible, we use humans  like transports, to go places, we have first class, business and coach, which is not set by the value of what we envision we'll be able to steal from them but the value they would be able to claim for themselves, in a world where there is no Justice settling the record straight, or media making their stories known, but a faceless corporate world that like us, exists unaccountably, "One" could say that "One" believes a murder can be set with a condolence or Solatia payment and "One" could claim that Life has officially been set at the market price of anything from 1000 USD to 5000 (but Life is even cheaper when the payment for it doesn't have to come under the scrutiny of the public) but as Gordon-Bray said:

“It’s hard to digest that the value of a human life is a few thousand dollars,” said Gordon-Bray, the general in Iraq. “But you know that in their economic situation, it is the equivalent of much more, and you feel better.”

So, we are not in fact admitting to any wrong doing and trying to restore justice (money vs life - one of our perverted ideas of justice), nope, we buy the peace of mind of the soldiers, a small price to pay for wars that cost in the region of billion of dollars, let's face it, we invest in Death, not in Life.

This is what we could do with the money we spent for one of the last wars - from Wikipedia

Based on National Priorities Project Cost of War concept, American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) launched an exhibit title titled "Cost of War" in May 2007, at the close of the National Eyes Wide Open Exhibit. 

It features ten budget trade-offs displayed on 3x7 foot full-color vinyl banners. AFSC uses to cost of the Iraq War estimated by economists Linda Bilmes and Joseph Stiglitz in the article "Economic Costs Of The Iraq War:

An Appraisal Three Years After The Beginning Of The Conflict", written in January 2006 that estimates the total daily cost of the Iraq War at $720 million.  

AFSC uses The National Priorities Project's per unit costs for human needs such as health care and education to make budget comparisons between the U.S. budget for human needs to "One Day of the Iraq War". The ten banners read: One Day of the Iraq War = 720 Million Dollars, How Would You Spend it?

 

One Day of the Iraq War = 84 New Elementary Schools

One Day of the Iraq War = 12,478 Elementary School Teachers

One Day of the Iraq War = 95,364 Head Start Places for Children

One Day of the Iraq War = 1,153,846 Children with Free School Lunches

One Day of the Iraq War = 34,904 Four-Year Scholarships for University Students

One Day of the Iraq War = 163,525 People with Health Care

One Day of the Iraq War = 423,529 Children with Health Care

One Day of the Iraq War = 6,482 Families with Homes

One Day of the Iraq War = 1,274,336 Homes with Renewable Energy

It is sad to have to  point out the obvious to an 'Eyes Wide Shut' Humanity, until there is a war in the world, we are investing in Death, if you want to turn the table and invest in Life, a whole system change will be required, we have a proposal, have a look at it, consider the benefits, the kind of world we could have if we stopped our "Human Race" for Profit and turned ourselves into a Humane HumanKind, we can put Life back at the centre of every equation and stop the Shame we live as, the Shame is not Poverty, it is the allowance of Poverty, we have shifted the blame on the poor for their condition so they would take the Shame of it too - but we know it was a clever miss-placement, that Shame belongs to us ALL, Equally, and should be distributed as unequally as the resources of the planet, those who have more, more Shame, just because we have more means to do more and are so far still doing nothing.

Stand up for Life, a new world is possible, we just have to decide we want it and make it happen.

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.

Day 196: Italy - The Evil Society of Inequality

Every Thursday we have our own 'reality Show' called 'Public Service', an independent source of News, of those News that someone up there decides are not fit for the dumb public, like the fact that people can't make it to the end of the month and have started to stop buying expensive foods such as cheese and meat, you never know, we may be creating a world that will free animals by default as we become unable to afford to eat them.

Tonight's talk-show is titled 'Life after Monti'.

Before we go into the Monti story, the picture above -he looks a bit like Jesus, we like to keep the crucifixion branded within our memory bank in this catholic country- is of one of the students that manifested in Rome on the 15th of November 2012 against the cuts to the School System, the gathering that started with students united shouting 'United we are scary' ended up in a bloodbath, and in many young people scared shitless as they dispersed when they saw the police meant business and were not holding back the blows.
The news said 'Monti launches police against students'. This is certainly not specific as there are other people in the food chain to make those petty decisions, for sure the behavior line is set at the top and a government that is showing in every possible way that Life, Education, Healthcare and any other Human Right such as the one to not be thrown in a street because you can't pay your rent, don't matter as there is one slogan that is shouted louder, the loudest of all, and that is PROFIT ABOVE ALL, and sorry, Schools and Healthcare and Human rights are Not Profitable, so please fuck off.


Monti is our premier, a Prime Minister that has not been democratically elected but has not been opposed either because after Berlusconi, Bozo the Clown would have seemed a better chance for this country to come back to its feet than a man who held costume parties where pocket money in the region of 5000 euro (5 times the country average monthly wage) were given to each girl willing to perform for him.
Fathers rooted for their girls to be picked, as that was both a measure of appealing-ness to the highest echelons of Power and a clear sign that the girl was smart and willing to sell out, she wouldn't starve, her future was guaranteed.


Many Italians are not even consciously aware, some didn't even notice and some just don't care that we have a prime Minister and a Government that not only is not democratically elected but is not working for the people. Monti is a member of the Bilderberg group and has forfeited his remuneration as Prime Minister, good man, pity we didn't see it was not to set the example -which no other politician followed- but to explain to those that had missed out on his origins that the remuneration of a Prime Minister for a man who belongs to the Ones that Own the World is just a pittance and he would not be diminished by such a paycheck.

When you are in charge of pulling the strings of the Monetary System, your only interest is to keep the system in place, so Mr. Monti shielded by "The Spread" shows the mere mortals that he is not wishing such austerity to the country, nono, he wished things could be different, but unfortunately 'The Spread' says we have to tighten our belts -that some no longer have- the cost in human lives is so remote from him as it is to all that have converted the world into numbers and are just squaring books. Really, it's not intentional Evil, it's just the way things are, they have to do what they gotta do. People have become commodities and making sense of humanity in the face of Profit is no longer possible nor desirable.

Today's show was about mothers explaining to the majors of some minor cities that they don't want their children to be separated from other children just because they can't afford the canteen rates and give their children food that they prepare at home, they want their children to not be discriminated, the children have no fault if they can't make it to the end of the month and if schools don't provide for the children that are in dire situations they should be allowed into the canteen anyway and not taken in the school dungeons to eat -but the fear is what if they set a bad example and other mothers come to know they can make food at home for their children and save the canteen money? what a loss-, some have nothing to give them, so the children are asked to wait outside until the ones that have been granted the right to eat are done. Are we separating them to point out that they are worth less, that they are just worth what their parents can afford to do for them, nothing more nothing less. What would be the point of separating children between those that 'can afford' and those that 'can't afford' if not to remark our accepted Money based Value as Humans?

The Majors said that if GodForbid they should step in for the children who can't pay for the canteen and include All, the cost would go up of 200000 euro and someone must come up with this Money, who will? On the other hand we have been able to magically find within this amazing, debasing, austerity 10 billion for the Army, when we voted NO to the Army a long time ago, basically we spend 10 billion to be peace keepers around the world, to get face when we are asked 'can you do me this peacekeeping favor', imagine if we couldn't afford it? Imagine if we had to say, NO we can't join your FAKE peacekeeping efforts because we gotta feed the kids, pay for school and healthcare for the people, sorry Pal.
What a fucking shame that would be.

Last week a lady was telling her story of how she had to give up her job to take care of her ill father (because we have no longer Free Healthcare) and now she needed an extra 600 euro per month to close her living gap. A "Big" entrepreneur, Briatore, who lives a billionaire lifestyle and is a convicted tax evader, stood up and said he will provide that money for 1 year until the government steps in with a solution - and held his breath for an applause that, surprisingly, never came.

Now, in Italy we have the highest tax evasion in Europe, 180 billions of tax evasions, helloooo, I am sure that if we check the numbers we must be the first in the world as far as corruption pro capita goes, we have changed laws, refined them, modified the terms of 'accountancy requirements' to add something only we can boast about, called 'Creative Accountancy' it is protected by Law, we are rewarded for our Creativity in all fields, the best cars, clothes, shoes -that 95% of people can't afford- and the best ability to cheat and scam, the Trevi fountain has been sold endless times to dumb tourists, we 'grow' the greatest looters, pillagers, thieves and corrupt people the world has ever seen.
We have experience and a long history we can check out in case we have missed out on something, the Roman Empire has never ended, just the Togas and the Laurel crowns have stopped, not in private, as those were some of Berlusconi party themes, but in public. People with Togas are like the Scots, they wear no knickers, and in an ever increasing hungry country, leaving meaty tidbits dangling on the loose is becoming exponentially dangerous.


If we had everyone paying taxes just as a way to equalize the play field a little we wouldn't have to watch the 'smart kid in town' standing up as a hero for 7200 euro for 1 year of support to a family to which the support should be given as a right. The man worked for 35 years and paid all the required contributions, money that was stolen, taken abroad, invested in Nigeria and foreign manufacturing while we have companies like Fiat where workers who accepted a monthly salary of 970 euro or as Fiat said, they would move abroad, have become afraid to speak up after the last mass firing, where unions have been kicked out and the workers who belong to any union at all followed suit, but instead of seeing the signs of a profoundly sick society, we become clever in looking for ways to make THIS system work. The last one?
A Flash Mob was organized next to an illegal dump-site where 70 people pretended to be dead and the County was exposed on the Media and immediately sent someone to clear the site from the toxic waste and debris.  We saw this as a Victory!

reality is that we need to question our system of Inequality not in its outflows, but at the root, we are starting our crap first within FamiLies and then we move it to the School System, we teach kids that we are born Equal but then we don't behave that way and the old adage 'do what I say don't do what I do' doesn't work, we can see it everywhere, the little demonic copies of ourselves roaming the Earth are here to show us.



We created this, the more we pushed the Consumerism side of our country so far we have lost touch with the end of it and in the process fed the Greed Monster and the Self Interest Monster that says that Enough is Not Enough and it's Mine -or I hang on to the Hope that one day it might-, there is no bottom to Greed, it's a sickness we must heal ourselves from and we must stand up to self correct to change this world One and Equal to ourselves. We have accepted and allowed this world in the hope to join in at the Top, we won't, we better give those hopes up and get Real.

Because as we allow such a world to exist, the Demons we are create other Demons, but better, bigger as there is a strange evilution in the evilness of our ways and things that we wouldn't contemplate a few years ago are becoming the New Normality. Insanity is the New Normality.



Just for the Chronicle, Italy is on paper a First World Country, going to shit, the net of austerity has widened to include All, soon the idea of First or Third world will be a memory, so to not equalize all to a better life we'll have to first equalize all to a shitty life, it's just a matter of time,  OR we could see the common sense of changing our ways, to consider to give to All what we would like to receive, so we won't have to watch crying mothers for their forgotten children and crying wives telling the story of their husband's suicides because they could no longer face a world where their freedom and dignity were linked to work as 'making a living', and they ended up having no access to any, Living is not happening and Lives are wasted and trashed in the name of Profit and a fucking derisory shackle called 'Spread'. WAKE UP!


Stand up for a Life of Dignity for All, Free Education, Free Healthcare, Real Democracy, no more Wars and Violence and a World of Equals will be created through#EqualMoney. Get involved @www.equalmoney.org
