The misunderstanding of the United States

If you have heard about the ferry "Express Mistral", if you follow the strange story, it is more likely to help them in the story that is about to follow, and that is the story of our time. So the "Mistral" was not starting, it could not get and could not stay in the Mediterranean Sea that was going through.

We are in mid-March 2011, in a strange coincidence with the celebration of a united Italy, but now, it's just a detail of color. You should avoid entering into the sad story (refugee ship that was held down and away for fear that those refugees could have really asked the right to asylum that was feared, therefore, not rejected because they were considered dangerous wanderers without a country but because, according to international law, were in search of a homeland and a law to trust).

It is useless to recall that - according to the code Le Pen, apparently adopted by the Italian government - the ship was kept off not "on board although he had many women and children" but "because it was carrying many women and children", once there, it was impossible to dismiss. But the fact we are, without interpretation.

It must be admitted that the ship is not going to leave, and still not get stopped (aborted) in the sea, the night when the United Nations declared the military action against Libya, is an effective illustration of a strange period of civilization and history, one in which we live. It has as main feature the decommissioning, abandonment, giving up with annoyance and contempt for facts, values, symbols, and also rules and practices of law that until recently were accepted and shared data.

It's a long list, but just some words that were once key symbol. For example, State, Homeland, Identity. They wander to the side of the ship as follows. Have become an encumbrance to be freed, or at least that is the suggestion that gathers today in Italy. State. The offensive began early on the ground of opposition "public-private" and the famous slogan "less state, more market" which appears based on common sense and instead has begun a dramatic reversal.

This reversal is based on the loneliness and abandonment of American citizens who need medical treatment are rejected by private hospitals, care centers and state no longer exist. Even the "reform" health Obama could affect the primacy of private and reactivate the relationship of trust between state and citizens.

In the U.S. healthcare system, the state remains overshadowed by the strength and the rights of the private sector. But even the privatization of stocks and military missions, the introduction of the formation of private mercenaries alongside and in support of the armies of major powers (U.S., UK), the privatization of detention centers and interrogation specialists are a clear sign of the dominance almost without limits all that is seen as better than private.

But the demolition work is even more vast and coming from different locations. It takes place in two opposite ways and totally disconnected and in conflict, but also used with a high degree of aggressiveness. One is to proclaim the existence of small countries in confined parts of the territory which are assumed homogeneous and historically linked, and which take precedence over state once considered sovereign.

Here is a dramatic mistake. If a federal state is real and spontaneous, bottom-founded, this type of "local motion asking for more but offers more, for his interest, as security for the small country, to strengthen the state's largest municipality. This is what happens in the U.S., where the root of belonging to their territory (the state) is very strong and at the same time, the bond is very strong patriotic with the Federal Government, which felt like home to all but also as authorities for all.

The Italian situation is the paradox of so many small states that do not exist except as part of a larger state, but they refuse. The point of refuse to laugh at events such as the anniversaries of the foundation, to the point of ostentatious gestures of contempt against the national anthem (federal).

The result of such acts inconsistent, but also lasted over the years, but also practices and representations of who is at once denier unit of the State but also Minister of State (Minister of the Interior tie in green) can only lead to dissolution of the state itself or at least serious injury that will worsen over time.

Homeland. In a country like Italy, where the concept of homeland has long been played as an instrument of war, it was not easy to overthrow the fascist interpretation. A major contribution came from the Resistance, the first non-Italian war against an enemy country but against odious idea of persecution.

The great book of the Italian nation has been rediscovered and is the Constitution, where everything is right for the identification and pride, and nothing shall exclude or charge. And, unexpectedly, globalization has been to provoke an awakening sense of belonging to many Italians. In a world without borders, where goods are exchanged with the sign of the place of origin, have been forced to understand that citizens in wander without boundaries, remain tied to the image of their country.

Unfortunately for the Italians, it came as a private government (based exclusively on private interests) took control of everything that is public, bend, deform, using at will through a closet and reckless foreign policy (the submission of 'Italy to Libya's Gaddafi, the mysterious and intimate relations with Putin's Russia) and Italy's image beyond recognition.

This is the scene where you must find a meaning to the word identity. The total media control created by the conflict of interests has created a unique character that has no school, no culture, no one recognizes the Liberation and the Constitution, be deemed "communist" every thought or way of life that does not know, lives in Island of the famous TV programs with prizes and cash.

After eighteen years of Berlusconi that Italian hegemony is a standard type of man who has delegated the identity of an identity that considers the true representation of himself. In fact, the critical mind was entirely absorbed by the identification, which has taken the place of identity.

It remains as the only identity possible, an opposition rooted in alienation as acknowledgment of a destructive weather emergency that does not recommend and does not allow for dialogue. The squares of the Italians, women and students, workers and celebrities, teachers and police officers, testified that the people there.

Expect the parties. , March 20, 2011
