ITALY CONTINUES TO SUPPORT KADDAFI

"Italy does not wish the end of the Colonel's power, we havew no reasons to wish the fall of a leader who, currently, maintains good relationships with the entire international community. Indeed repression is not acceptable...

Berlusconi explained to Kaddafi that Italy did not provide arms to Bengazi's rebels. And do not forget that Kaddafi himself recalled the warm reception he received for his visit in Rome ...."

Colonel ? Kaddafi invented such a title
Leader ? leader or dictator ?
Good relations ? threatening Europe to let all illegal immigrants cross the Mediterranean sea unless it does not give him 5 billion $ a year is a sgn of good relations ?
Warms reception ion Roma ? it was a a shame

The above statements were made by M. Lamberto Dinoi, a former Prime Minister, now Chair of the Italian Senate Committee for Foreign Affairs and an ally of Berlusconi have been published in La Repubblica of 24 February 2011.

DO IT AGAIN BERLUSCONI

Berlusconi kissing Kaddafi's hands full of blood and oil March 2010



I did higlight yesterday the blindness of Italian foreign policy towards the Mediterranean, by Berlusconi and his servant the Minister for Affairs as I call him.

Today they did it again....anf this towards Kaddafi. Their lightness may be explained by the fact that, according to many prostitutes, Berlusconi would have explained to them that he learned the Bunga Bunga from Khaddafi himself.

So there is crisis in Libya and here are some declarations:

USA : The Department of State states his "great concern" and requests the "immediate stop to the violence against demonstrators".°

EU : Catherine Ashton declares " We appeal to moderation and we plea for an immediate stop to violence"°

France : The Minister for European Affairs declares that the repression is "unacceptable and tottly out of proportion"°

Italy : The Minister for Affairs with his suave voice, Mr. Frattini, stated that Italy will not agree with any EU declaration criticizing the Libyan leader * . The "national reconciliation process must start in a peaceful mode to lead to a democratic constitution: this would be the main objective".^

Apart from the fact that once again the Italian diplomacy is out of touch with reality, it tries a cover up for one of the worst dictators left in the world (Berlusconi's concept of freedom) and is behind what is happening, as it was for Tunisia and Egyps. But the priority are the laws to protect Berlusconi's ass, with the blessing of the catholic Frattini.

Switzerland : what is that ?

According to the very serious Swiss diplomatic circles, Colonel al-Gaddafi will propose at the next UN General Assembly to dismantle Switzerland and split it among Italy, France and Germany. All this because his son Hannibal and his wife had been arrested by the Geneva Police (whose diplomatic tact is the exact opposite of that of the Swiss Foreign Ministry).

Indeed Sarko and Berlusca have been very nice to the Colonel. What will he ask Germany in exchange ?

And if the arrest of his son calls for the wiping out of a country, what should happen to a country whose leader is responsible for the killing of hundreds of innocent people in two airline bombings ?

But al-Gaddafi has oil, Switzerland had only the secret bank accounts which are being dismantled. And it is not even an EU member (and only a recent UN member).

Berlusconi and al-Gaddafi

Indeed Berlusconi is very special even in the choice of his friends: GW, Putin, al-Gaddafi, escorts, well known Mafia members,....

Quite lonely in his choices, and possibly alone among the western "civilized" (but can Berlusconi's Italy still be called so ?) he will be in Libya for the 40th anniversary of the ascent to power of the Colonel.

Definitely, he will never learn from his other friend Sarkozy: had he followed the latter's example, instead of going to Tripoli he would have sent Noemi, his young friend, or one of his usual escorts. Sarko managed to get the Bulgarian nurses released by sending his former wife Cecilia, Berlusconi could have got some oil in exchange for Noemi.

UNHCR ? what's that ?

The UN Secretary General and the UNHCR have been strongly criticizing Italy for sending illegal migrants back to Libya where they will stay in “camps” that have little to envy the Nazi concentration camps, apart from the gas chambers of course.

Indeed, Libya is responsible for what is happening, with the crazy approach of Khadafy of opening his borders to all Africans in his “dream” of a unified Africa. And is responsible for not stopping the boats departing from Libya. May-be because they solve his problem of thousand and thousand of Africans he does not know what to do with. And to pressure Italy to get benefits from a possible harder policy on illegal migrants, what he obtained in fact.

Knowing the corruption of his regime, one would not be surprised that one of his sons (Hannibal may-be), is part of the scheme, may-be getting a fee for any boat that leaves Libya.

It has also been demonstrated that the gangs are a joint Italian-Libyan undertaking, with the Mafia clans controlling the flow of illegal migrants boats. But all know that this government, starting from Berlusconi, is very lenient towards Mafia (one of his closest advisor was condemned for Mafia, for example, and his party or its allies are is by far the first in Sicily’s elections….)

And yesterday, an Honorable Minister, Igazio La Russa, a proto-fascist who tries hard, unsuccessfully, to deny his past, responding to the critics by UNHCR, stated that “UNHCR does not count for anything and its attitude is inhuman and criminal”. He went on insulting the UNHCR highly respected representative for Italy accusing her to vote for the extreme left….

As La Repubblica reminded its readers : “(UNHCR) assists 50million refugees around the world, works in 11 countries, and obtained two Peace Nobel Prices”. And Italy, recently, tried to get an Italian as HCR high Commissioner….

But all this is bullshit for Berlusconi’s government. And what would you expect from a fascist Minister of Defense to think about an organization with two Peace Nobel Prices ?

And of course, Mr. Berlusconi kept silent, thus supporting his Minister. Of course, he could not pay attention to this while being with his friend Putin, another Peace admirer, a “real democrat” as Berlusconi himself said.

Will the world one day realize how corrupt, dangerous, authoritarian Berlusconi’s government is ?

The Fourth Punic war

The other day, Libya did forbid Swiss airlines to land on its sacred land. Why so? Hannibal of course. The Fourth Punic War is ongoing since Hannibal Gaddafi (and his wife) was arrested in Geneva for holding two housekeepers almost as prisoners. To the point that the workers of the hotel they were staying did call the Police.

Instead of being ashamed, the Gaddafi family started complaining about the Swiss authorities and even held two Swiss citizens hostage in prison. Now the retaliation against the Swiss planes (which by the way have only the name Swiss but belong to Lufthansa! but can you ask the Libyans to know all this?

If you think that recently the USA suspended all sanctions against Libya (but Americans were the most active for Libyan oil, still...), that the EU started negotiating with it again, that Sarkozy and Berlusconi, always them, made official visits to Libya and that Sarkozy received him with full honors in Paris in December 2007.

All this for a few barrels of oil. And they forget that Gaddafi, and his clique, is a killer (at least two civilian planes destroyed with hundreds of innocent victims, over Sahara and at Lockerbie), a hostage taker (the Bulgarian nurses), a slaves trader (all the illegal immigrants landing on Sicilian coast arrive from Libya).

Is there any morale left in international politics? If ever any existed in fact.

So all these fancy Western leaders accept passively the Fourth Punic was for a new Hannibal. And although once again Gaddafi shows his real face, nobody does anything to kick him out for good. But the US continue to boycott Cuba, the US, the EU and the UN Secretary-General call for free elections in Guinea, and the G77 supports Libya at the Commission on human rights (not applicable indeed to house workers of the Gaddafi's family).

Hannibal, the real, lost in the end. Let us hope that the history will repeat itself.
