BERLUSCONI'S ITALY AND BEN ALI

Berlusconi and Craxi

There was a Prime Minister, socialist he called himself, named Craxi.

In 1984, as Prime Minister, he issued a decree to legalize the illegal operations of Berlusconi's televisions. The decree was approved in 1985 and we know what happened since then.

In 1985, he got concerned about the tensions between Algeria and Tunisia.

The Italian secret service, in consultation with the Libyan and Algerian authorities, identified a named Ben Ali as a possible solution to the growing crisis in Tunisia.

In 1987, with the help of the Italians, Ben Ali became president. Craxi was no longer a Minister but was the leader of a party member of the Government. According to many sources, and in particular the former chief of the Italian Secret Service, it was Craxi the main master of such coup d'état.

In 1991, it was discovered that he had received 20 billion liras (a hell of a lot of money then) on a secret account in Switzerland...

That was the tip of the iceberg of the corruption of the man who had elevated it to a system of government. But the justice, that same that Berlusconi now attacks, went after him.

In 1994, after demonstrations in the streets, harsh criticism in the press and a loss of parliamentary immunity, he escaped to Tunisia where he lived a luxurious life (thanks to the money he had collected illegally), under the protection of Ben Ali, until he dies in 2000.

During the recent Tunisian crisis, the TG1 (main news on public TV in Italy, directed by a servant, or better prostitute, of Berlusconi was broadcasting a service from its correspondent in Tunisia who was describing how corrupt, violent and anti-democratic was Ben Ali. Suddenly the broadcast was stopped for no reason (normally they apologize for technical problems). Shortly after, the same TG did broadcast an interview during which the interviewed person praised Ben Ali, what he had done the economic development of Tunisia and so on and so forth...

The person interviewed was the vice-minister for Foreign Affairs (and of course the Minister did not contradict her subsequently)

Her name: Stefania CRAXI. Craxi? Yes, the daughter of Bettino Craxi, the crook who helped Berlusconi.

A full circle....a shameful demonstration of the intellectual corruption, to say the least, of Berlusconi and his clique and of his Minister for Affaris, Frattini.

THE HOLIDAYS OF THE THE BRAMBILLA'S FAMILY

La famiglia Brambilla in vacanza is a 1942 light movie made after a song famous during that time.

Italy now has a new Brambilla, a quite sulfureous lady, one of those selected ad-hoc by Berlusconi, not even God wants to know how. She is the (in)fameaous vice-minister for Tourism. Her main activities have been a costly website that does not function and is full of platitutes and a radio message by Berlusconi inviting Italians to spend their vacations in Italy. Reghrettably for her, a few days after a broadcast, she was seen on holiday in Southern France....Her excuse: looking for dog-friendly beaches ! Possibly the trucks full of furniture seen those days coming from Italy were in fact only dog houses.

However she finally was successful. After dozens of years when Italians (including the socialist ex premier Craxi, the one who helped Berlusconi contril Italian TV, among others, who exiled himself there due to corruption charges) went by the tens of thousand on holiday to Tunisia, since the beginnning of the year, the Tunisian tourists come by the thousands to visit Italy and especially its Sicilian islands.

PROSTITUTES (puttane)

The 14 countries or so* not attending the Peace Nobel Prize ceremony on the instigation of China (the others, like Russia, Kazhakstan and Cuba are simply as bad as China)

Siwtzerland Postbank, Mastercard, Amazon, Paypal which gave in to the US pressure to try to block WIKILEAKS.

The few Italian politicians being "purchased" by Berlusconi (list will follow on 14 December) just to keep their seat in Parliament after fighting him (and being elected against him).

Mara Carfagna, Italian Minister better known for her semi porno pictures (and unpublished telephone conversations with another female minister talking about oral sex with the PM), who threatened to abandon Berlusconi's party for his support for the Neaples mafia and then withdrew "because he had listened to her"



* Colombia, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Serbia, Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Philippines, Egyrt, Sudan, Ukraine and Morocco.

BERLUSCONI HAS A DREAM

Although this is to be verified, Berlusconi always claims that he has 65% support in Italy, the “best” in the world. However…..at the last regional elections he got less than 30% of votes and his party less than 40%.....

But yesterday, M. Ben Ali of Tunisia was re-elected for the fifth time with 89.62 of votes. And at the last municipal elections, held on 11 October, Putin’s party got 66%of the votes. Massive fraud in both cases, but what counts is the result.

This may be in fact the reason why Berlusconi flew to visit his friend Putin (a great democrat, as defined by Berlusconi himself) to prepare for the elections to be held next year in Italy: just to learn how to cheat (for TV coverage and control they are already equal…)

As mentioned before, according to Berlusconi Italy is the country with the largest press freedom in the world. A pity that in spite of that, there are still newspapers who criticize him. Why so ?

Indeed, while discussing with Putin about how to better organise elections, he may have got also some advise as to how to improve the “press freedom” so that there is no criticism any longer in the press.

And possibly, his next official trip will be to Morocco. There, the newspaper Akbar Al Ayoum , the third paper in Arabic in terms of sales, is closed since two months for publishing a cartoon showing the Moroccan flag beyond the portrait of a King’s cousin. The reason ? offense to the flag (possible imprisonment of 3 to 5 year….). And a request for a consistent amount of money by the King’s cousin, typical way of killing newspapers (Berlusconi is a master in this). And the Director of the daily Al Michaal was condemned to a one year imprisonment for publishing information, made available by the royal palace, about the health status of the king. Finally, two days ago, Le Monde was seized and not distributed for a cartoon and an article relating the trial of the Akbar Al Ayoum newspaper. The reason : “systematic attacks to the national symbols, under cover of freedom of expression, will never be tolerated”, as stated by a high rank dignitary.

True that Morocco is not alone: on 21 October, the Le Monde’s journalist Florence Beaugé was prevented from entering Tunisia to cover the elections….

Berlusconi dreams when reading such news….how the hell these little guys in a developing country manage it while he, the great leader of a powerful country cannot ? Something must be done before the next elections.
