[kitchencabinetforum] CAESARS AND GUINEAS

 

The notoriously dysfunctional Italian government has been forced to come to terms with a national debt larger than Italy's entire GDP. Il Duce Berlusconi has proposed more than 30 billion euros in budget cuts over the next two years, including a billion-euro cut to the national health care system, and a crackdown on fraudulent disability payments. Berlusconi also called for a three-year pay freeze for all government workers.

A scene in the Italian Parliament shows what it looks like when governments almost collapse in guinealand. The members of parliament jumped up from their red leather chairs, pointed their fingers at each other, shouted, forged last-minute alliances or argued with each other. A Berlusconi supporter even hit a defector in the face with his campaign documents!

Basil Venitis muses Berlusconi has compared himself to Benito Mussolini, complaining that like the Second World War dictator he does not have enough real power. Berlusconi has often been accused of a dictatorial style of governance by the Opposition and even members of his own Rightist coalition.

Venitis points out Il Duce cannot control his penis! Il Duce Berlusconi orders up playmates to his official residence as if they were a plate of oysters, by the dozen and preferably young and fresh. Il Duce is an illusionist. He always seizes upon a valid problem, but he does so purely out of self-interest. His tricks are based on distracting Italians. If he doesn't like something, he immediately tries to amend the constitution. This would be inconceivable in any other country. You can't depend on anything in Italy. Not even the truth and the country's demise. Italy has become increasingly enigmatic, bizarre, incomprehensible, and it continues to be a top vacation destination.

Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, muses Italy is the global center of dolce vita. Italy has been in a state of political denial for years. Caesars mused that Britons can never be civilized, but now Britons are the most civilized people in the world, calling the Italians guineas! Italians doze in front of the television programs of media czar Il Duce Berlusconi, who himself has made a fulltime job of protecting his guineas in parliament with more and more new laws that will save them from prosecution. Meanwhile, opposition Italokleptocrats are devouring each other over trivialities.

Sicily is a mafia stronghold, but underworld power structures affect people all across the country. Organized crime constitutes 7% of Italy's gross domestic product(GDP). Most Sicilian businesses pay the pizzo, which costs on average 500 to 600 euros per month. It only accounts for around 5% of mafia income, but even so, it is important for mafia to retain it. If shop owners refuse to pay, they may be punished. For example, their buildings may be destroyed or they may receive death threats.

Omerta is a code of silence, common in areas of southern Italy, such as Sicily, Calabria, and Campania, where mafias like Cosa Nostra, Drangheta, and Camorra are strong. Omerta implies the categorical prohibition of cooperation with state authorities or reliance on its services, even when one has been victim of a crime. Even if somebody is convicted for a crime he has not committed, he is supposed to serve the sentence without giving the police any information about the real criminal, even if that criminal has nothing to do with the Mafia himself. Within Mafia culture, breaking omerta is punishable by death.

Secret societies run through the tapestry of Italy's history like a half-hidden thread: from the 19th-century proto-nationalists known as Carbonari to Propaganda Due (P2), a rogue Masonic lodge with a mission to infiltrate the organs of state and a membership that included politicians, soldiers, spooks, and Il Duce Berlusconi.

Prosecutors have cautioned seven people they suspect of belonging to an illegal cabal. Some are close to Berlusconi. Senator Marcello Dell'Utri, who is already fighting a conviction for mafia links, created the party with which Berlusconi entered politics. Denis Verdini is a national organizer of his current political vehicle, the People of Freedom movement (PdL). Nicola Cosentino was a junior economy minister.

Flavio Carboni of P3, a businessman tried for murder in the still-mysterious death, in 1982, of Roberto Calvi, a prominent banker and P2 initiate. Carboni was jailed in connection with the P3 inquiry. P3 is conspiring to further Berlusconi's interests with a mix of dubious blandishments and dirty tricks. P3 dug into the sex life of an opposition candidate, plotted to influence a politically sensitive corruption inquiry, and tried to get at judges before they ruled on a measure to grant Berlusconi and others immunity from prosecution.

In leaked wiretaps members of P3 cite an authority figure code-named Caesar, Berlusconi himself! By defending the P3 suspects, rather than just letting the prosecutors do their work, Berlusconi leaves himself open to the charge of being mafioso. Il Duce Berlusconi has backed four ministers accused of shady dealings, both of whom subsequently resigned.

[Homesteadingfamily] Re: [raw_goatmilk] ummm question

 

Thank you all so much for responding at least I feel my annoyance is
validated. I have left a general phone message at the paper and sent
a more detailed email explaining that the author was not given
permission to use pics of my farm animals or products. We will see
what i hear back and I will update you tomorrow.This was a hugh
centerfold 2 page spread from our ex apprentice on her experiences on
a goat farm in our town and although our farm name was not mentioned
our town name was and the whole town only has about 600 people-so the
whole county knows us!
I tell ya I knew she has dreams of being a writter but to see our
animals faces with names along side not a month after we asked her to
leave was a shock! I will definately have to add a new claus to the
new apprentice description!
I will be reading all the links supplied and for you local folks it
this weeks downeast coastal right dead center! Kim Roos

[ASGG] offer: aquarium filter set up Winter Springs

 

Don't remember much about this as it has been years since I had aquariums,
but this is a big filter, for a big tank, NOT for a 10 gallon tank! Works
as far as I know (I plugged it in and the fan rotated). Very dusty from
sitting in the garage.

I'm in Winter Springs near 434 and 17-92. **Please let me know approx. when
you can pick up when you reply** and please don't ask me to call you.
Thanks!

[Homesteadingfamily] ummm question

 

First -- Sorry to cross post
But its busy season and I am searching for guidance and experience.

I am wondering about the rights of photos that people take of your
farm/animals/products. If someone is at your farm and takes photos do
they have to ask your permission if they publish them? If photos were
taken and no specific use was requested can those photos end up in a
newspaper article without your permission? This is about an
apprentice that left our farm and later used photos with animals
names, our products-"in production" and reference to a our goat farm
being in our town but never specifically stating our name.
I tell you it really bothered me and now I am annoyed-do I have any
say? Kim Roos
