The world hostage to the rentiers

The economic crisis, that our unknown. It is presented as the current recession, alternating the prediction of a close out from it to a reading that indicates the long term the temporal dimension. At the same time, the oscillation between hope, by mainstream economic theory, to get out in continuity with the past and the belief that "nothing will ever be the" marks the public discussion. In an interview with George Lunghini begins a survey on how authoritative Italian economists address the nature of the current crisis. Scholar known to readers of "the manifesto," Lunghini proposes to read the crisis in a historical perspective is that of critical analysis of capitalism.
The fundamental questions to which economists seeking an answer can be summarized thus: what is the nature of this crisis is a crisis in financial or real, cyclical or systemic? It makes sense to compare with the crisis of '29?
An economic system capitalist - a monetary economy of production, in the language of Keynes - is unthinkable without money, without banks, without finance, therefore, in the structure of the real elements and assets / liabilities are closely intertwined. Between the actual items and monetary items but there is a hierarchy in the sense that a capitalist economic system could reproduce without crisis, to use the language of Marx, if the distribution of the social product was such as to not generate crises of implementation, "overproduction "(a relative overproduction: compared to purchasing power, not to the needs), and if money, banking and finance were only functional in the process of production and reproduction of the system, and instead gave rise to crisis sovraspeculazione and hoarding.
In the language of Keynes, crisis would not be if actual demand, consumption and investment, and the demand for money on the ground were such speculation - by accident or design - to ensure a balance of full employment. Now it is unlikely that this case will give automatically, hence the need for a systematic design of economic policy. In short, the capitalist system - the "market" - is unable to regulate itself. In all of this has an essential role in the rate of profits, as shown by the classical economists, but above all Marx, tends to fall. When the rate of profits is likely to generate crises of realization, since there is associated low wages and unemployment, and a time so as to generate hoarding crisis, the capitalist system undergoes a crisis that, if you want you can call systemic. So it was in the crisis of '29 (whose roots date back to 1870), so it is today. In both cases - and what I merely, as the comparison between the '29 and now - the crisis occurred after a failed attempt to counter the falling rate of profit with a process of globalization, reduction world market. I add only that the European response to the crisis of '29 was the Nazi-Fascism.
As he played, in their inability to assess the likelihood of the crisis, the mainstream economists' predilection for formalizing mathematics, at the expense of knowledge of the history of economic analysis - and history in general?
In itself the use of mathematics in economic analysis is not blameworthy, so when it wants to deal with questions in mathematical form that does not permit, or when it comes to issues important because they allow a mathematical treatment. Of gender issues in economics, there are many. Visiting the London School of Economics last year, Queen Elizabeth had asked him - royal white - how come only a few economists had predicted the crisis. Ten prominent British economists have also written a letter to the Queen, in which they write that one of the main reasons of the inability of the profession to give early warnings of impending crisis is inadequate training of economists focused on mathematical techniques: so that the economy - the economics - has become a branch of applied mathematics.
The signatories of the letter also points out that the unsuspecting American Economic Association was established in 1988, a post-graduate teaching committee in the U.S. economy. The commission, in its conclusion, he expressed the fear that 'post-graduate training programs can produce a generation with too many idiot savants, trained in techniques but ignorant of economic issues important. Education of economists, add the signatories of the letter is omitted economic history, philosophy and psychology, and are not put into question the questionable belief in "rationality" universal nor the 'efficient market hypothesis " . For this reason you are not given due weight to warnings about not quantified the potential instability of the global financial system. There is a type of opinion other than that which can be drawn on immersing himself in literature and history, which can not be adequately expressed in mathematical models. In short, mathematics decontextualizes its objects, and in the economic field that carries the risk of reductionism and the false neutrality. The only antidote is knowledge of history and awareness - awareness of the proud - the political dimension of economic analysis.
authoritative commentators have long pointed out that the free movement of capital and bustling (the result of liberalization and deregulation of finance) mini the very basis of economic democracy, that democracy itself. Believes that the role of politics today, would only be that of market regulator or should go further?
There is no doubt that the free movement of capital, free to the extent and in its present form, is dangerous for democracy and economic So for democracy in general. It is the thesis of the "virtual senate", a thesis on which insisted Noam Chomsky (who borrows from B. Eichengreen) and it seems to me difficult to refute. This virtual senate is made up of lenders and investors who continually undergoing review the policies of national governments, and if they judge that "irrational" those policies - because contrary to their interests - voting against them with capital flight, attacks hedge or other measures against those countries (and in particular the various forms of social status).
Democratic governments thus have a double vote: their citizens and the virtual senate, which normally prevails. This is a led to the liberalization of capital movements, reckless, in turn effect the dismantling of the Bretton Woods system in the seventies: are the obvious consequences for economic democracy (the most affected are the weakest among citizens of different countries) and So for democracy in general.
I believe that economic policy should go beyond the simple regulation of markets, but even if it was limited to this should be a shared design of economic policy and financial markets. A new plan Keynes - who had well understood the risks of uncontrolled movement of capital - it does not seem in sight.
Many scholars believe that the solution of the crisis can not be that Washington-Beijing axis. It is conceivable that the European model of social status, even if one can speak a European model, can be a reference for alternative economic policies as the "Washington Consensus", as the Chinese state capitalism? Or is there a risk that the future economic-political world in Europe (with the southern hemisphere) is confined to a marginal position?
I fear that the European model of welfare state is no longer a model even for Europeans. The welfare state is one of the greatest inventions and institutional policies of the past century, the destruction of a most serious responsibility of European governments in recent decades. The responsibility is all the more serious, since even before it has a cultural policy. Even in Europe has had a virtual senate, but also has a weighted membership uncritical, ahistorical and do not require the circumstances, the imperial liberalism: that has nothing to do with the liberal tradition, even before the Social-Democratic Europe. In truth there never was a true European model of welfare state, the national variants had different stories and articles. What still stands as a model intellectually - in model design direction to be taken for example, and they should look first to the last Keynesians now - is the "Social Philosophy" which could conduct the General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money by Keynes.
Today, as then the "defects" of the more obvious economic society in which we live are the inability to ensure full employment and an arbitrary and inequitable distribution of wealth and income (which are among the main causes of the current crisis). To remedy these defects, Keynes offers three lines of action: a redistribution of income via taxation (progressive income taxes and high inheritance taxes), euthanasia of the rentier, and certainly not small, state intervention in ' economy. The redistribution of income would increase the average propensity to consumption and therefore demand effective. The euthanasia of the rentier, then the "cumulative and oppressive power of the capitalist to exploit the scarcity value of capital," would also reasonable investment and low profitability in the eyes of deferred accounts, which are normally high social return on investment.
As regards the involvement of the state, according to Keynes of The end of laissez faire, "the most important action does not relate to those activities which private individuals already play, but to those functions that fall outside the range action of individuals, if no one takes those decisions are not taken by the state. The important thing for the government is not doing what people already do, and do a little 'bit better or a' worse, but do what you do not at present of all. " If the defects reported by Keynes had been amended with the measures he mentioned, this crisis would not be there (sometimes counterfactual reasoning are effective), and on the other hand I fear it is unlikely that this social philosophy is put into practice in the world today West. So out of the crisis
Washington-Beijing axis? Some negotiation between the U.S. and China is imposed by the new structure of international division of labor, but what is the strategy of Beijing? The world recognizes that China is emerging as a great power, but it's a shame - he wrote recently, the Economist - That still does not always act as such.
The current increase in public expenditure does not affect social spending (education, health, pensions and unemployment benefits), but the rescue of banks, finance companies and large groups. What happens, however, squeezing the earnings (real wages and pensions): an intervention on the supply side rather than demand, it is the right strategy to overcome the crisis, returning to acceptable levels of unemployment?
the need for a redistribution of income via taxation, the desirability of euthanasia of the rentier, and the need for active intervention of the state have already said. The supply-side policies are part of this theoretical paradigm, whose acceptance by governments has led to the current crisis. Unemployment and the fear of losing their jobs trigger a vicious circle: consumers and businesses reduce their costs, generating new employment cuts. As long as wages and employment will not be traced at least to the levels of ten or twenty years ago, the crisis is over.
What is the price that future generations will have to endure in the face of forms and size of debt that governments have used today in an effort not to wreck the world economy?
If that debt had been contracted to provide education, health and assistance to citizens, future generations should not bear any price, as compared with that debt would be today and tomorrow those structures and those services. The price you pay is the lack of those facilities and those services, because of a debt that was contracted for the benefit of those individuals that have caused the current crisis.

Merkel invests in research. A nice slap Italy

The center-right government of Angela Merkel has announced its legislative program for research and high education: more than 5% increase per year until 2015 for funding to the two major government research centers, the Max Planck Society and the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), more 7.7 billion more than EUR 5 billion, new and additional to the university from 2011 to 2015 of which 5 billion for the overall development and 2.7 billion dedicated to the 'Initiative for Excellence ", and finally 14, € 6 billion for the development of high technology in areas considered strategic: energy, climate, health and safety. To overcome the crisis, therefore, Germany focuses on the "knowledge package" With more and more science training. The program is very significant for at least three reasons. First comes after a year in which, despite the recession, the federal government's investment in science and development grew by 10%. According to re-propose this as the program of the previous center-left government, led by Chancellor Merkel herself, a continuity that shows how science and high education is a strategic choice despite the alternation of governments. Third, the program is, as in Italy, on the promotion of merit, in Berlin is not only supported by the words and rules, but by concrete investments. Two particular aspects affecting. The first concerns the 'Initiative for Excellence ", or the attempt to reward those universities that are better. So far the initiative has been able to count on a pilot phase of three years, funded with € 30 million per year, which gave work to 4,200 researchers, for most young people, of which 40% women and 25% from abroad (many from Italy). Another aspect relates to high technology. Most research has focused on investments in the renewable energy sector. With a successful ten years in renewable energy rose from 6 to 17% of the total.

The extinction of the State

institutions can survive in an environment where it becomes their de-legitimize a deliberate political strategy? What happens when respect for the Constitution is forced to take refuge in places more and more restricted? We are taking an anomalous and disturbing to the extinction of the Italian way State?

Italy is becoming a laboratory where perverse elsewhere controllable elements are combined in ways that infect the entire system. And the contagion spread from politics to society, where every day we staged the degradation of language, the contempt of the rules, the brutal exercise of power. Faced with claims particularly devastating and interventions, such as those that distort the rule of law in the name of only one, it evokes the "state of exception", a political category constructed to justify the authoritarian exercise of government power and that , however, reveals a nobility that is found in the intellectual miserable Italian practice in these times. Which are now so widespread and entrenched that neither the state of exception are talking about something just as exceptional. As we spoke of "permanent emergency" to impose authoritarian logic and tamper with the rights, so it is reasonable to define the state of Italian affairs as a "permanent state of exception".

have the same constitutional principles to be routinely violated, beginning with that of equality. Do not forget that the Constitutional Court declared illegal the "Lodo Alfano" because of its contrast with that principle. We must still remember the face of proposals to approve a constitutional law that would recall the content of that text: this kind of law must respect the equality. He noted since 1988 the Constitutional Court, claiming that the "supreme principles" of the Italian can not be "subverted or changed in their essential content even more by constitutional amendment or other constitutional laws." Among these principles stands out just what equality among citizens.

But inequality has been codified in many laws, has penetrated deeply into society, are creating categories of "sottocittadini. The shame of the "short trial" there is a greatest shame of exclusion from the benefits of illegal immigrants. This erosion the foundations of coexistence denies the universality of fundamental rights, the rejection of legitimate and different, and so opens the door to the phenomena of racism and homophobia that may become a permanent member of the Italian landscape.

Once set aside the principles, the distortion of the institutional system becomes inevitable, and daily, and is no longer sufficient to explain the appeal of the conflict of interests embodied by the President of the Council. There has been a new form of "balance", where mix public and private resources, political influence is combined with economic pressure, companies in the galaxy Berlusconi joints become political determinants. This is revealed, among other things, not just the continuum Mediaset / Rai and ads standardization of TV channels is still a bit 'outside the box, but also the operations that affect the overall structure of telecommunications, the newspaper ownership, the financial system.

A power that has gradually concentrated in few hands, with a clear idea of \u200b\u200bthe state which owns the other institutions and reset control. We know the drift that is sweeping the Parliament, dispossessed of every function, and that led to a resounding decision to "lock" of ten days of the House of Representatives, decided by the President to denounce the impossibility work.

A fact unprecedented, which should have led to strong reactions, which was rather reduced to skirmishes between Berlusconi and Fini. The legislative power is firmly in the hands of the government through legal decrees and laws delegation, and thanks to the spread of "civil protection order, free from any parliamentary control and carry more and more general rules, well beyond emergency justifying it. But it is above the constitutional dimension to be evaporated.

The Constitution no longer belongs to Parliament, so much so that for every law under discussion is debating whether the President of the Republic the sign or not, what are the risks of a declaration of illegality by the Constitutional Court. The guardians of the Constitution are elsewhere, and the Constitution itself is likely to see changed its meaning if a central institution, the Parliament, it behaves as if it were foreign.

Many institutional areas are so desertified, also taking a pretext real or alleged inefficiencies. It documents the very short periods of work of Parliament and he was inspired to denounce Members lazy, not to indicate measures to revitalize the Parliament, possible today. The same technique is used to attack the judiciary and justify yet another law on a personal basis, that short trial, justified with the argument of undue length of proceedings. But it is the 1999 reform of Article 111 of the Constitution that speaks of their "reasonable time" for years that the European Court of Human Rights condemns us for the length of the justice system, the failure of the judicial administration that decades can be defined as "a social catastrophe." So sensitive to the problem, the center-right majority has not lifted a finger in the process of government between 2001 and 2006, very interventionist in matters of justice, but not to adopt measures and allocate resources to cut the time trial, but to go all 'assault on the independence of judiciary. It now wants to take advantage of this situation to steal Berlusconi processes and deal a further blow to the credibility and efficiency of the judiciary.

A "dialogue" on constitutional reforms, and the same daily political opposition, can not ignore this. It must be remembered that the Constitution ends with an article today that calls for special attention. It is written in 139: "The form of Republic shall not be subject to constitutional review." This does not mean mundane that you can not return to the monarchy. It means that our constitutional system has a number of characteristics that define the "republican form" and that can not be changed without going to a different regime. That's what you do not tire of repeating, with moderation and firmness, the President of the Republic

The "bourgeoisie Camorra"? There, but nobody talks about white collar

the importance of crime powerful interpretation of the processes of institutionalization and legitimization of the Camorra crime phenomenon that receives direct and indirect forms of large sections of the bourgeoisie in the metropolitan Naples is not as radical and continuity of interpretation that record, however, about the "bourgeoisie Mafia. " The question, then, is not farfetched: why? (...) Why do not you rooted for the criminal organization Camorra a tradition of learning (and Address Detective) able to explain and interpret what is the role that class segments of professional, entrepreneurial, bureaucratic, technical - in short, to what reason can be described as middle class has historically been the Camorra mafia to ensure its reproducibility? The reasons for this delay is attributable to both a sort of systematic defection on the Camorra, its culture, its commingling by the great doctrines such as liberalism and Catholicism, both to wandering positions of the left that has ranged between crystallization and the long silences or distortions of interpretation on the phenomenon. (...) The connections between members of the bourgeoisie and the Camorra crime groups have been denied or even often underestimated, despite the dominant urban character of the original delinquency exposing these components to cross social relations, so that awareness of collusive this intrigue was already manifested in 1901 by Saredo who spoke of "low" and "high" Camorra, it "constituted by astute and daring bourgeois."

"High Camorra" The distorted perception of
delittuosità is, mainly in the bond or social classes characterized by economic instability or the importance of elitist crime of the powerful interpretation of the processes of institutionalization and legitimization of the Camorra crime phenomenon that receives direct and indirect forms by large bourgeoisie of the metropolitan areas of Naples is not as radical and continuity of interpretation that record, however, about the "mafia bourgeoisie." The question, then, is not farfetched: why? (...) Why do not you rooted for the criminal organization Camorra a tradition, which are very distant average observer. That's how it is absent, the vast vanishes "gray area" that hosts a variety of professionals, civil servants, administrative, technical consultants, representatives of the banking, financial, academic, business. And yet, economic operators and intermediaries whose social climbing is based on a modus operandi irregular and illegal activities related to the new professional class of public and private services and offering services to criminal organizations, not infrequently, also members of the forces enforcement and the judiciary. (...) With regard to the context of the myriad Neapolitan its illegal economic activities, para-legal, submerged, allowing illegal to produce, sell and consume goods place them on different markets (legal, illegal and criminal) promotes the interweaving of collusion, cooperation and exchanges with representatives of the local middle classes, or even a push factor, to the point where they can legitimately speak of "bourgeoisie Camorra." The roots groups and organizations Camorra, therefore, derives not only from the social relations they have developed within the populace, the marginalized and economically weak classes, not just the product of a deviant subculture of pollution, but also depends on capacity over time to evolve the relationships of trust and exchange in the direction of a social configuration across different classes and economic strata, to form a social bloc that has played a decisive role in the processes of accumulation of different resources and social relations. (...) The existence of a Camorra, ie an economy based on manufacturing wide range of illegal and criminal activities in the meantime has become a burden and business developments likely to benefit, now, investments and transactions carried out also market conditions because the contribution of the middle class benefits from this Camorra and intertwined relationships that are not only the product of 'deviations professional, "but the result of a stable network commingling and confusing use of trade especially in these "mature" of accumulation, ie when it is necessary to invest the capital in legitimate activities. This is the time when the effects of altering the economic and legal propagate is an increased until it reached a distortionary character of the processes of economic development.

systems and types of market
is misleading to believe that criminal groups thrive because they spread the criminal markets or because of intimidation by the power of the mafia associations are able to dominate both in economic activities than in commercial law. Actually three structural conditions have changed the reasons for the successful expansion of organized crime in Campania: the expansion of the political market, namely the increase in resources that are mobilized in forms of direct or indirect political and administrative institutions, the dynamic entrepreneurial class and collusion between criminal organizations based focused on trade relations now on offering services to businesses and attractive opportunities (such as waste affair has shown) that increase in an indirect profits of enterprises, the expansion in the region and beyond of the informal sector, production of black , semi-legal economies which make up a differentiated set of goods and services produced and distributed in forms illegal entrepreneurs who find it more convenient to "interact" with the mafia rather than attract the attention of the State on the profiles of illegal activities .(..)

The capital
The Camorra develops and grows because it can count on the production of an intense and strong capital. Namely, the production of a set of intangible resources (...) that using the tradition, the deviant subculture, the same religion, the value of social rituals ensures strength, stability and reproducibility part of the clan. (...) These symbolic resources supply in binding form of social action community these greedy more than I can make reference universalistic norms to whether civil, religious or ideological. The positive results are those related to the self-interest is reinforced es'indebolisce I recall the common good. (...) The strength of this capital takes advantage of the fact that local companies have not produced to counter a strong social conscience (at the level of the public sphere of political institutions, civil society, business, cultural institutions ) aware of the seriousness of the presence of such phenomena, not a constant, caring and enlightened mobilization in support of the work of the police, the judiciary, those who busy themselves to combating all forms of lawlessness. (...)

How to get out?
that the judiciary should be attacking the illegal assets and capital accumulated, the fugitives are arrested (the symbol of the defeat of the state) is significantly intervene in the outskirts of urban areas through the action of the school, volunteering, civic groups, has produced a more effective legal and safe control of the territory there is a strong social stigma of all those figures who cooperate, do business and collude with criminal groups (entrepreneurs, professionals, politicians, etc..) both produced a greater synergy between the investigative ball and the 'analytical' (the world of social research) to devise new and more effective policies enforcement and security.

Does Running Irregulate Your Period

"The government has strengthened the 41 bis, enhanced the effectiveness of the confiscation of goods, etc ...", writes the Journal, the parliamentarians of the PDL is repeated every time there is a case or a case Dell'Utri Cosentino. In other words: if the Mafia had its political contacts, such as judges, "communists" want to prove, the government did not fight. Thesis indisputable. But before you answer the question: what does the mafia "his" political reference should explain what the Mafia today. Alongside the military there is a mafia bourgeoisie inserted into the channels of economic, production of the country and in public administrations. This is non-organic, hard to identify the case, related to the military mafia classic mutualistic relationships: the entrepreneur who is awarded the contract, the politician who does vote, the clerk, the public official who promotes career; the university professor who provides academic support in the assembly, the doctor who provides a job in a private clinic. Each of them increases the penetration of the Mafia in society making it a social catalyst. The membership of the subjects across the Mafia see the opportunity that that candidate can deliver on the basis of his thought mafia, new fertilizer that crosses geographical boundaries, from north to south. Subcontract a public work or made with asphalt, concrete battering is a crime of fraud in public supplies punishable by up to 5 years bargain, which saves money to give to the mafia that has facilitated the contract and ensured that the contracting entity is not contiguous i ran the controls. How does the political referent favors the Mafia? If, for example, will be appointed to CIPE, to face the real needs of the territory and of any serious policy development, ensure resources are allocated for public works. Here's how the tightening of the bourgeoisie to 41 a mafia that helps launch the security packages so there is no record of committing crimes, it becomes a valuable license mafia. Penalties for these offenses that favor the mafia, while not being committed by the mafia, are not exacerbated because the mafia has entered the middle class electorate. The only security package anti-mafia that this government should do is what provides for severe penalties for subcontracts in black and fraud in the exchequer, and is launching the so-called process about which it can use in their actual perpetrators of these offenses.

Milan for the mafia, so favor the entrepreneurs' Ndrangheta

The 'Ndrangheta, which is up wins in Milan Via Montenapoleone, the upper floors of a beautiful old building at number 27. Here until a few months ago were home Kreiamo spa, real estate agency for more than one million Euros turnover per year. Alfredo Iorio majority shareholder is the son of quell'Achille I-rio, who died in 2008, and until then the leader of Forza Italy Cesano Boscone City Council, the country south of the city. Before then, the same Achilles Iorio, Calabrian origins, have led to a shift of money from the 'Ndrangheta in its Kreiamo. In 2006, in fact, their children Andrea and Alfredo become members of the I-river estate. This last name company, because before it was called Sa. Fran with Chief Executive Serafina Papalia, wife of Salvatore Barbaro, who was charged for Mafia association in the process Cerberus, and especially the daughter of superboss of the 'Ndrangheta Rocco Papalia. Today Iorio Realty has become Kreiamo.L 'disturbing plot emerges from the card company of the "South Park" that led to the arrest yesterday of 15 people, including the Alfred I-rio Madaffari and Andrea, vice president of Kreiamo. The decree also appears stationary to an expert of the court on behalf of the clan that Barbaro would have favored a property purchase.
Affairs and the Mafia, then. A mix settled in the area south of Milan. "Here - Giuseppe Gennari writes the investigating judge in his order - the economic operators in the construction industry and construction know that some balance should be aware that some people can not be given negative feedback. " And again: "He is wrong to move and suffers the consequences and do it strictly in silence." Because "the victim's type clear suspects, but it looks good these ideas from the external to the police." Here then is a disarming first conclusion: "Even in some metropolitan areas of the civilized capital of Lombardy is a very lively presence that casts a shadow over the authority of the state." A range of hardness re-launched yesterday by Dr. Ilda Boccassini, head of the new anti-mafia Pool Milan. "The entrepreneur who does not denounce - he said - is defying the state."
The position of the prosecutor is justified by the order of over two hundred pages which tells of entrepreneurs who choose silence threatened. Decisive than that of Salvatore Sansone July 28, 2008 he found his real estate agency completely burned. Heard on the spot said: "We know who did it, I expected." But the following questions of the police, the investigating judge writes, "immediately tried to minimize denying previous statements."
There's more. The intimidation of the 'Ndrangheta come from inside the courtroom. During the breaks of hearings delprocesso Cerberus against Salvatore Barbaro, more than once Anthony Perre, '84, emerging boss, yesterday escaped capture, the prosecution approached the heads to force them to recant. Done and done on time, as confirmed by Alessandra pm Desserts, part of the investigation. In addition to
Antonio Perre, said "u cainu, investigators yesterday escaped another bigwig. This is Domenico Papalia, class '83, son of the boss Antonio Papalia. "Unobstructed - Sweet says - does not sleep more than three days in the house, does not use mobile phones and we have found two bugs." He, who recently married a girl tied to the clan of St. Luke, is the true representative of the 'Ndrangheta in the north. And as such has a strong network of supporters. He is currently a resident in Via Vivaldi Buccinasco. Raiding more than once is to be joined by two cars followed, scrutinized and accompanied out of the country. In this area the network of the mafia gang-Papalia Barbaro is strong enough to support even the fugitives. It 's the case of Paul Sergi Platì found in the June 8, 2008 in an apartment on a Fallen Assago. In a box of the same street, about a month ago, were discovered several weapons, including Kalashnikov rifles, sawed-off shotguns and hand grenades. A real santabarbara the thigh, headed by Salvatore Barbaro and Domenico Papalia, tested in the yards of earthmoving. Evidence of some eavesdropping.

See Through Underwear For Me

The court order is a power of State Water

The recent rediscovery of the disaster of the ship - filled with tens of thousands of drums of toxic and radioactive waste from Northern Italy and the major industrialized countries of 'Europe and America - sunk in various parts off the Italian peninsula and especially off the coast of Calabria has confirmed that the South of Italy and the Mediterranean have been sentenced to become the center of the spillage of a large part of industrial poisons. After decades, to the tenacious work of the judiciary, are finally emerging the real responsibility of the great western industries that, by using alliances with ruthless gangs and deviant devices of the state, accumulated toxic waste in the Italian ports of industrial processes and referred them to the countries of ' Africa. When they could not in their intent, these death squads were forced to return to Italy the ships loaded with poison that ended up being sunk off the coast of our country, while the criminal powers even cashed the insurance premium of sunken ships . Thanks to the ongoing work of judges and journalists are slowly emerging truths about the death of journalist Ilaria Alpi, killed in Somalia for the discovery of the traffic of toxic waste from Italy.
But the Mediterranean is not the only route flown by the traffickers of waste: thousands of trucks packed with poisons people each day through the streets of Italy, ending their run in their villainous most fertile lands, in what was once called Campania felix the fruitfulness of his land, and deep valleys of Calabria. With those wastes have been poisoned in the hills, valleys, fields and waters around the south, and built the walls of the houses of citizens from Caserta in Crotone die every day, quietly, of horrible evils that never until now had so widely affected this area.
The strong powers of northern Italy have betrayed their mission was to produce industrial goods and services of general interest, and blinded by the profit they have made a pact of steel with the Mafia, Camorra and 'Ndrangheta, for the illegal disposal regions South of toxic waste from their industries and from major industries in western countries.
The President of the Republic, the Hon. Giorgio Napolitano, has confirmed that the traffic of toxic waste comes from northern Italy with a goal in the South. [Insert newspaper quote] In this way the great powers have not only facilitated the formation of financial capital of the thighs mafia, but subject to a ruthless exploitation of the south, rifeudalizzandolo for their purposes.
addition, the strong powers of big business in northern Italy, betraying the cause of the Risorgimento and Italian unity, were associated with the mafia in the perverse and criminal activities of private management of concessions of public procurement, an intermediary financial the great economist Pasquale Saraceno called the true cause of the abyss of debt. In fact, the large industrial groups in the North, which had the concession for the management of public funds and contracts for the construction of major works, has led to immense speculation allied activities with the mafia and corrupt politicians. Thanks to financial dealers have been able to dramatically increase the cost of public works, whose implementation has often been subcontracted to the Mafia, the Camorra and 'Ndrangheta, which have worked to earn with inferior materials, with no attention to the safety of workers, and ultimately have also spilled toxic waste on construction sites. This alliance not only brought criminal and then the devastation of the beautiful Italian territories and the destruction of the landscape, but also to the robbery of the entire national wealth and public debt soaring.
We must remember that history has seen and fought these figures of speculators, when the Roman Republic during the second century BC the first Emperor Augustus Caesar, and then had to understand that the power of the publican was undermining the integrity of the Republic. The Publican, the dealers of the time, took advantage of the fact that the Republic was no longer able to manage public services are also huge financial companies and had the grant for the construction of public works and their maintenance, and management of public services. Their power had spread throughout the empire, to become a state within a state, were born and real companies, contractors powerful capitalist organizations that were to have immense authority in the economic and political influence beyond any measure that is in the provinces in the City, and were the cause of the collapse of the Republic (see Onorato Bucci, "The eastern provinces of the Roman Empire", pg. 260) .
This story is to understand the tragedy in a linear fashion that is hitting our country, and the powers that dominate it. The destruction of the State is taking place today at the hands of modern publican, the general contractor and waste managers, case in point is the huge robbery carried out by companies that dropped from Northern Italy and in league with the forces and illegal pest of the southern regions and using a multitude of professionals rogue managed to make a big sack of state resources with a devious and perverse legislation by themselves inspired and engineered by large law firms who can weave those systems more criminogenic milking what Zanotti Bianco called the "forgotten people" of the South and now withered breasts of the State exchequer, overwhelming even the retired postal savings deposited in the Fund deposits and loans, and chest last juicy booty to plunder.
The death sentence of Campania and the south, the pandemic unleashed by industrial poisons, and vicious laws that distort the Italian legislation turning every rule that could stop the strong powers of speculation in rules that make it fully legitimate acts already deemed illegal by the ordinary law of the State, this violence is breaking Italy destroying southern Italy, a land that for centuries has produced men of high culture and custom, who have contributed their sacrifices to the Italian Risorgimento and the formation of the unified state, and today suffers the destruction of the school and the desertification of the scientific and humanistic research, whose resources are drained from the usual strong powers under the name of instrumental technology research, all aimed at corporate profits and the robbery of private financial capital, and not for the training of scientists and technicians to help real progress.
Venuti less support and assistance of professional skills, now approved for most bands of dishonest businessmen and consultants, failed that costume moral prerogative of the middle class impoverished and pushed to the margins of social life, the last hope for the country remember is that the judiciary at all times to be a branch of the government, and that state power can remind people that it is his duty to defend the Constitution legal order together with the patriotic citizens, and that the judgments of the courts are the lintels of the popular consciousness and the depths of a lost purity and rigor. To help the judges to become aware of their role is defending the traditions Risorgimento and the unitary state against anarchy and against the constitutional misrule.
There is a forge where everything is transformed, where he architected and laws are formulated taking perverse fascist legislation on public works and making even greater violations of the fundamental laws of the State's accounts (even fascism had dared to advance on the cost of work, had not dared to charge by the dealers and the testers of the works had never dared to assign functions to the contracting dealers), there is a forge where you influence the appointment of judges most likely to be stranded processes and more inappropriate the court battles for the triumph of truth; in this breeding ground, which becomes a real Italian horde ruled by gangs that coach Pasquale Saraceno called corrupt bureaucrats, corrupt politicians, corrupt finance associated with the Mafia, Camorra and 'Ndrangheta with the help and advice from certified professionals in the system, in this breeding ground there are evil forces that are able to bury toxic waste in the piles of the historical memory of our country and to lull the conscience of scientists less combative.
With the reform of Title V of the Constitution there was a general shrinking of the national vision, a shrinking because of closures narrow, provincial, that does not allow to understand the scope of national historical events fundamental to the life of the country. In this shrunken every fundamental historical process is shrunk and reduced to the rank of that provincial and regional levels. At this time the process "Fibe-Impregilo" dealers of waste management in the Campania region, which tries to point out the rot and the ruthless wickedness of the real culprits who have programmed with the Satanic cruelty death of the garden of Europe and undermined the health of population, is a process that has the task of restoring the historical truth before the whole nation, the region was - and still is - a victim of the strong powers of northern Italy, coupled with financial capital and home Camorra mafia that history will judge and condemn you for having triggered a world war against the peaceful people who are unaware, a most terrible and cruel war of horrendous world wars that ravaged Europe. If the process of waste in Campania will close absolving the perpetrators of this terrible disaster without the emergence of such a falsification of historical truth will be occurred whose consequences will be that oppress the burden on future generations, because the pages are in this process - and remains - a tremendous historical document. If this process will end with a sentence inappropriate and vile will take a step back to the conscience of all Italian citizens and citizens from Campania, which will believed to be responsible for the health and environmental disaster and deserve separation from the rest of the country. In fact, among the serious faults of the strong powers is that of having violently erased from the memory of the Italian population and the memory of the old southern custom of the spontaneous and the city of Naples and Campania, waste collection, also described by the great German poet Goethe in his Travel in Italy. But the collection disturbed and hindered the owners of incinerators, which saw the collection as an obstacle to their profits. It will be longer and harder when the truth is removed by a court or uncertain infamy of a prescription, take the path for the citizens of Naples and southern Italy, which will be reprecipitated at the level of "forgotten people" as Zanotti White called the inhabitants of these lands while they were making a great effort to become citizens and not tenants.
This process is a great historical document that not only affects and is the focus of education of the Italian population, but also of rebirth or decide to completely destroy the memory of the Risorgimento who has engaged in an effort to drive millions men, an effort that will go forward or be driven back to back centuries. Mask the historical memory means burying the centuries humanism, the Risorgimento and the unitary state, covering new ground made of deadly toxic waste, the same toxic waste that now cover the fertile Italian countryside.
Due to the enormous historical significance of this process is the entire judiciary to take upon themselves an enormous responsibility, the responsibility for the choice of either defending Italy by criminal forces who want to destroy or hand over the country in their hands . We are to continue to support the judiciary, in which we place our trust, and remember every moment that this process has immense value for the training and the historical consciousness of the younger generation, and that is why the free press has to deal with of these great historical processes with firmness and courage, spirit of truth and responsibility, so that public opinion is free, mature and aware can really participate in the life of the country and support the people and magistrates everywhere struggle for its salvation. If
in this great process, the truth will be hidden by a cowardly decision, and if the people and law-abiding citizens will lose their historical consciousness, will be reset every achievement and every effort of the Italian Renaissance to create the unity of the state and the growth in civilian populations , it will trigger fights among the regions on the territory of general anarchy, and Italy will become a mere geographical expression.

privatized. The risks The choice of a reform of the leopard

There are few reports in the newspapers and no TV in the privatization of water. Yet in these days you decide our future. There is discussion in the Senate because the new law makes no public management of water. It is not only our dilemma. Many countries around the world are wondering, the press and on television, until the pun is permissible to privatize a public good, that everyone should have shaft. The fact is that the water is about to become the gold in the future there are those who think to make money on it. Hence the rush to grab a few large multinationals are the rights granted.
I have already written on the subject. And there are those who I replied that my concerns are exaggerated because the properties of the sources and networks will still be public even though the supply to private firms. But the right to water is expressed only when and if it flows from the tap is drinkable. The city does not go with the bucket at the well or other source or line up to the water. The right to drinking water is exercised only through the management and delivery.
In most of Europe, moreover, the privatization has been stopped or even, as happens in France, is undergoing a process of ripubblicizzazione. Switzerland has declared the water and water systems State monopoly, is not open to privatization. Belgium has made a law to which all the valves are operated by spa in-house, or whose shares are all in the hands of the Co muni. The United States refuses to privatize the management of local water systems that remain solid in the hands of municipalities. Throughout Latin America and then act in a large laboratory on the commons. In Uruguay, Bolivia, Ecuador and now in Chile parliaments would also change the Constitutions to enforce those principles. Remember that in Chile, the privatization took place only Pinochet came to power. Today, the Chilean government is returning to public ownership.
Why so worried about the private management water? The fact is that when a good pass so important in private hands, the first consequence is the diminution of its controls, the second is that higher prices (as happened in Latin America where the transfer to the multinational Veolia have led to increased rates 300%) and often also squeezes the hand of organized crime (something that happened in Sicily and Calabria).
The league that was opposed to privatization, most recently he changed his mind. Why? Lease-signing today a bill that proposes Calderoli even to get to 30% participation of the municipalities party to the management companies already listed. Senators and MPs ask that reflect before approving a law that will enrich the large private companies (those most favored today are foreign) and impoverish our government.

Persuasive Essay On Cameras In Schools

Any serious discussion on the situation of the university (and therefore on the Ddl Gelmini) can only start from a preliminary agreement on the function academic institution. For a couple of centuries or so, any university worth the name is based on a simple premise: the only purpose that would serve the higher education is the knowledge as such. From Kant and Wilhelm von Humboldt Henry Cardinal Newman, without forget Max Weber and Karl Jaspers.
The classical idea of \u200b\u200buniversities, now seen at sunset, revolves around the principle of freedom of research and certain corollaries: that neither the political nor private interests interfere in research and education of students, that only scientists judge the scientists, and universities are also accountable to society for the way he uses his freedom.

This is the spirit that reigns in a real university. The role that students play traditional social and political opposition (from May 68 until the Tehran of today) up to the vagaries in the field of clothing and lifestyle of the teachers, academic freedom is a luxury that a democratic and developed society should readily provide forward-looking, recognizing the positive effects. Whether it's algorithms, or discoveries, literary or legal interpretations, new treatments and new technologies, what the university produces freely back in the form of value added knowledge, civil and cultural society which has made it possible.

The privilege has naturally academic counterparts. The teachers must earn their position, which means that only their skills and productivity (to be determined on the basis of what they do, according to evaluation criteria inevitably conventional, but applied universally) justify their position, they are accountable to the community rather than what they seek, but the money they spend in research and, above all, have a duty to make public and transparent criteria and procedures used by those who promote or co-opt them one day replace.

In other words, the university may be free only if it is responsible. On this level, sorry to say, not only the governments of the center-right and center the last two decades have proved disastrous, but the class has given its academic contribution to effective disaster. I'll make an example of connivance objective. Even stones know by now that the reform failed because Berlinguer imposed by academic lobbies that have found an ideal mechanism to multiply places and powers. Beyond the purely verbal protests of the Conference of rectors to the incessant cutting of funds between the governments of recent years and large groups of academic power has always been a match for amorous feelings.

But the connivance between barons and ministers go further. After the appearance of free tracks and effects of incompetent people as Moratti and Mussi, the minister Gelmini - University of questions that probably do not chew much, but it must have consultants who have very clear objectives - gives further interventionist steering not only by imposing all universities the same structure of government, while dramatically increasing the power of the rector are empowered to elect the "full professors employed by Italian universities have proven expertise and management experience, including at international level, in higher education, research or cultural institutions" (Article 2, paragraph 2, Section c ). In other words, only a small group of barons will elect the rector, and because of that count under the rectors are doctors and engineers, anyone who understands what the interest groups, academic and otherwise, involved in the actual governance of the university.

In accordance with the principles of freedom and responsibility set out above, some points of the bill are totally unacceptable, while others, on paper, could be discussed. Among the first is the forty per cent of seats in the Board of Directors reserved for "private", with no constraint of funding (with the private law that contribute to decisions on academic life do not give contributions?). And the same goes for an independent assessment by the contours indefinable, but visibly open to individuals and subject to the empire of the minister. Not to mention the rules on recruitment. Beyond the 'rating' of the national student teachers, which incorporates ideas as old as the world and at the bottom of the ancient university teaching, the composition of committees is obviously cumbersome, as always, and is based on a principle, the draw, replacing in part the mere chance to the old national divisions. In scientific areas organized, namely those who have real power, it is easy to predict that the draw will not change things much.

The principle of the evaluation of individual research in principle is sacrosanct and can not understand why so many encounters resistance on the left (or better you understand very well). Who is old craft known that the Italian university carries at each hierarchical level, a pocket of teachers who, if they have done research on young people, at some point they stop or vivacchiano, making your own business or an interest only their micropowers. That taxpayers pay the salary similar to "teachers" - and there are many - who are employed plus that could be reserved for young people is a disgrace the Italian university. And I do not find anything scandalous in the fact that they are no incentives for the most deserving, those who work harder and better. Rather, what is lacking is the sense that the incentive funds are managed by the Minister of Economy: This just means that the minister will dictate to the academic evaluation criteria that will be anything but scientific. As for the fact that these funds will be derived (in words) from the proceeds of the infamous shield Tremonti, the equation of money and illegal financing of the science speaks for itself.

Even temporary research in theory could be acceptable (if only to test them and to avoid entering a university and his work is not valued anymore). But since we are in Italy and "reform" is at no cost, it is clear that fixed-term contracts are only a precarious again, plus with no indication on future openings.

seems to me that the Bill Gelmini manipulate more or less skillfully diventati.nel some principles that are good and bad common sense University (evaluation, merit, efficiency, etc...) But I have the impression that its purpose is primarily to strengthen the Italian university in top-down way, by giving all power to the alliance between rulers, baronial groups and external actors. In fact, the bill control over what teachers actually do is completely random and smoky, the assessment is a chimera and the simplification of structures in the service of a more despotic than before but as bureaucratic in the past.

Taking into account that the funds have steadily declined and that the structural defects are not scratched in any way, the result of the bill will be a university Gelmini culturally modest, much less competitive on the international stage and subject to political power. In short, a reform but gattopardesca bombastic style of the Italian right, so everything is like before or maybe worse.

Washing Machine Drain To Septic

A guilty silence

Posters have begun to pick up the stories of the routes of poisons September 5, 2009, in a report on the landfill Borgo Montello, in the province of Latina . This area not far from Rome, where according to some employees of the Justice Casale have buried hazardous waste for years, has a vocation for agriculture. It's like a garden where they grow vegetables, fruits, wine grapes. A few months ago Lazio ARPA (Regional Agency for Environmental Protection), wrote that the groundwater is contaminated. Well, the suspicion was - and is - that there are over a part of drums of hazardous wastes transported in the late 80's by some ships of poisons.

The discovery yesterday of a container at the bottom of the Tuscan sea adds another piece to our reconstruction. And, if it is found that the waste is toxic, it would be a demonstration of what we're trying to prove 'the case' does not stop at the wreck of Cetraro and one we are taking is not just a story of the past, but a simpleton that continues today.
toxic
The routing system has been used by at least 140 "major brands", that the elite of the Italian industrial system, as we have reported and documented in recent days. And the same network collusion, aiding and abetting criminals, alongside parts of the state where we are now seeing the worst mafia - the Camorra and 'Ndrangheta - was then enlarged and specialized in recent years. There are at least five questions that await an answer. The Chronicles

talk about the latest allied industries Enea fixer as Flavio Carboni to handle alleged trafficking of asbestos (inquiry into landfill Pomezia, 2009), we have assisted in the management of huge landfills Biutiful cauntri of Casale, we wrote of how large companies all burned in incinerators without any control. These are pieces of the same story, which continues the '80s, when the Italian ships carried around the world waste of our industries.

For this we will continue to speak on these pages vessels of poisons. There are questions for months waiting for a response from the government. Pieces of a single disaster still shrouded by a dense network of political and institutional reluctance. The list, hoping that one day someone will manage to unravel the tangle and give some answers. Here they are.

1) - On September 5, we asked the Civil Defence to know where they were disposed of 10,500 toxic drums from the ship Zanoobia reported in Italy in May 1988. Civil protection so far not been able to respond. We therefore ask the Minister for the Environment: the government is able to explain how and where they were disposed of hazardous toxic waste back to Italy between 1988 and 1989?

2) - Minister Carlo Giovanardi said in Parliament in 2004: "Obvious warning signs are caught in some legal proceedings which showed a clear overlap between these activities and illegal arms trafficking. (...) Several factors show that the involvement in the trafficking of institutional and non-European governments. " What are those countries who have been involved in international traffic of waste?

3) - On 24 January 2006, the then deputy public prosecutor Francesco di Paola told Greek before the bicameral committee on waste which was found off a wreck Cetraro length of 126 meters. Following further information received by the Prosecutor Paola Giordano Bruno, the regional minister of the Greek Calabria Silvio wrote May 14, 2009 to Environment Minister asking for action to the study of the wreck. Because in the nearly four years the Ministry of Environment has never detailed what was communicated by the Prosecutor Paolo since January 2006?

4) - In the same session in January 2006, the Greek public prosecutor said that Francis was not able to obtain precise information from the Coast Guard on wrecks off Cetraro and in some cases had been opposed by the military secret. It appears to Minister that there is a state secret or military wrecks on the seabed of Calabria? E 'was never placed on the secret story of the ships of poisons? It 's true that the Coast Guard did not provide the information requested by the prosecutor in Paola, as claimed by the magistrate Francesco Greek?

5) - In May 2007, an entrepreneur of Fondi (Latina), Massimo Di Fazio Anastasio, then arrested on charges of Mafia-like manner wear, announced that it had entered into an agreement with Liberia for the export of waste Africa worth 170 million euro. According to the website of the local channel seven, the agreement also participated in the ex-mayor Luigi Parisella. Today then we report the story of containers thrown into the sea by German ships, only four months ago. It is the environment minister that there are now agreements for the export of hazardous waste by Italian companies to Africa? What control procedures of our seas are being implemented to stop the discharge of waste from commercial vessels?
