B&B: BED AND BREAKFAST AND MORE

B&B like bed and breakfast, Beagle Boys, Berlusconi and Bertolaso (see preceding posts).

Berlusconi and Bertolaso, or the “doers” of the Love party, the most recent political invemntion of Berlusconi.

There may not be a free lunch, but certainly Berlusconi and Bertolaso have free breakfasts. One by adjusting the laws to avoid being prosecuted as all citizen are. The other one allowed to “spend” public money without any control, possibly spreading it among his close friends and family )i.e. brother in law).

And both have the same “bed” habits meeting there nice young girls provided for free ( may-be this is the free lunch) by those who benefit from their kindness.

Definitely, Berlusconi & Bertolaso are a real Bed and Breakfast.

BEAGLE BOYS

Berlusconi and Bertolaso (see last two posts) , B&B like Beagle Boys.

Berlusconi does not steal money. But he robs the Italians by strengthening his Media empire through laws made to order to protect them and destroy incrementally public TV. And he robs the Italians of democracy by undermining all checks and balances on his government.

Bertolaso does not seem to have stolen money, so far. But it appears clear that he has robbed the Italians by giving without any control hundreds of million of Euros worth of contracts to a small gang of friends, some linked to organized crime. Did he do all this for free ? this is what he pretends. But can we trust someone who is the right hand of Berlusconi in his policy of “doing” ? Wait and see.

In any case together, with their accomplices, B&B are the real Beagle Boys

BERLUSCONI'S LOGIC OF POWER

The world recently discovered Mr. Bertolaso, the alter ego of Berlusconi, his accomplice in the “doing” opposite to the “talking”. The Italians have known him since a long time, unfortunately.

Whenever there is a lot of money involved, public money, the two accomplices “did” things. The “miracle” of L’Aquila, the city destroyed by the earth quake, is Bertolaso’s doing. So the alleged resolution of the garbage emergency in Napoli. Hundreds of million of Euros spent without any control: not even the Corte dei Conti (the equivalent of the US GAO) can look into how the money is spent. And the “emergency commissary”, Bertolaso, cannot be indicted, not even investigated.

So sure of himself, he went to Haiti to criticize the US rescue intervention. Possibly jealous of all what Cheney had done in Iraq, without any control: Bertolaso would love to have all the money Cheney had.

But since a few days, the situation of the “Berlusconi’s hero” is changing: judges and people want to know more about how the public money was spent. During a long investigation, the judges and the police discovered quite a lot of illegal business. Mostly through wiretapping. Funny things including prostitutes who were apparently provided to Bertolaso as a favour .

So what does Berlusconi ? guess !

He declares that Bertolaso should be the Prime Minister and that legal wiretapping under judicial control should be limited when not suppressed.

This is Berlusconi, this is his logic, this is Italy who will vote for him at the end of March….

Berlusconi: Haiti's rescuer

So, Berlusconi sent the second most powerful man in Italy, Mr. Bertolaso, his right hand in civil protection to “inspect” the rescue efforts in Haiti.. Among the may things Bertolaso did for Berlusconi, was Iraq (Italian Red Cross), the garbage crisis in Napoli, the G8 planning and the earthquake in the Abruzzi, early 2009.

His conclusions were clear: lack of co-ordination, too many US military, too much promotion by all rescue agencies, too much emphasis on boats that have no “link” with the territory, he would have done all this differently.

Little detail Ms. Clinton and the Italian UN representative pointed out: Haiti is not the Abruzzi, Haiti is poor, in Abruzzi there were less than 300 deaths, in Haiti more than 150,000 and may-be more, Abruzzi in the middle of a developed country, Port au Prince is in the middle of one of the poorest countries in the world. And how is it that Italy itself is sending a military boat if these are useless ? In Haiti there are at least 370,000 people who lost their house, in Abruzzi less than 30,000.
In Italy there is infrastructure, in Haiti there is none and the little that was, was destroyed.

But Bertolaso could not care less, he is like his boss, he says anything crosses his mind so that people talk of him.

Ms Clinton was right saying that what Bertolaso had said had the value of those talks people make in bars on a Monday about foot-ball matches. But did she ever realized that this is exactly what Berlusconi does: bar talks with illiterate people.

A clown, full of himself, serving a clown. But I promise you: soon, on the (in)famous web site to support Berlusconi’s claim for a Nobel Peace Prize we will see that it is thanks to Bertolaso, sent and supported by Berlusconi, that rescues efforts in Haiti were successful.

Berlusconi and Bertolaso do not even have the decency to respect the tragedy of one of the poorest countries in the world.
