THESE PRAYERS ARE SAID EACH MIDNIGHT
IN FRONT OF THE BASILICA OF SANTA MARIA MAGGIORE AT ROME

This devotion is inspired by the request made by Our Lady Herself in
Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich’s Vision of

August 25, 1822: “I know not now how I went to Rome last night, but I found myself near the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. Around it I saw crowds of poor, pious souls, in great distress and anxiety on account of the Pope’s disappearance and the agitation and alarming reports throughout the city. Led by one common impulse, they had come to invoke the Mother of God. They did not expect to find the church open, they intended only to pray outside. But I was inside, I opened the door and they entered, astounded at the door’s opening of itself. I was standing aloof where they could not see me. There was no service, only the chancel-lamps were burning, and the people knelt in quiet prayer. Then the Mother of God appeared. She said that great tribulations were at hand; that the people must pray earnestly with extended arms, if only for the length of three Our Fathers, for it was thus that her Son had prayed for them upon the Cross; that they should rise at midnight to pray thus; that they should continue to come to Her church which they would always find open; and that they should, above all, pray for the extirpation of the Church of Darkness. … I know not whether the people saw the apparition or not, but they must have been impressed by something supernatural for, when the Blessed Virgin said they should pray to God with arms extended, all lifted up their arms … It seemed to be an association of prayer.” From this time Sister Emmerich assisted nightly at the pious exercises at Santa Maria Maggiore.

The Dictatus of Pope St. Gregory VII

 

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

In the present hour of darkness and confusion, it behooves all to turn their gaze back to the sound and eternal judgement of the saintly popes of old, of which one of the greatest was Pope Saint Gregory VIII, in life called Hildebrand, who single-handedly saved the Catholic Church from the filthy and avaricious hands of godless men who usurped the right to name Bishops, Abbots and distribute the benefices of the Church to their friends and political allies.

During his papacy, there was entered into the official register of papal laws, the Dictatus papae, a collection of solemn truths which regard the Catholic Faith on the Papal Primacy and the Roman Church. See here for the Latin text and a copy of one of the most ancient manuscripts containing it.

Due to the relative obscurity of this magisterial text, I share with you now the text in both Latin and my English translation. (The Video above includes the Latin text) I pray that it might be for your enlightenment and for the confirmation of your faith in these troubled times, when true doctrine is being so obscured.

Dictatus Papae

Number Latin English translation
I Quod Romana ecclesia a solo Domino sit fundata. That the Roman Church has been founded by the Lord alone.
II Quod solus Romanus pontifex iure dicatur universalis. That the Roman Pontiff alone is called “universal” by right.
III Quod ille solus possit deponere episcopos vel reconciliare. That He alone can depose and/or reconcile Bishops.
IV Quod legatus eius omnibus episcopis presit in concilio etiam inferioris gradus et adversus eos sententiam depositionis possit dare. That His legate takes precedence in council to all bishops even when he is of inferior grade and can give a sentence of deposition against them.

VI Quod cum excommunicatis ab illo inter cetera nec in eadem domo debemus manere. That among other things we neither ought to remain in the same house of the one excommunicated by him.
VII Quod illi soli licet pro temporis necessitate novas leges condere, novas plebes congregare, de canonica abatiam facere et e contra, divitem episcopatum dividere et inopes unire. That for him alone is it licit, according to the necessity of time to establish new laws, to welcome new peoples, to make new abbacies of canonical right and, contrariwise, to divide rich bishoprics and unite needy ones.
VIII Quod solus possit uti imperialibus insigniis. That he alone can use the imperial insignia.
IX Quod solius pape pedes omnes principes deosculentur. That all princes are to kiss the feet of the pope alone.

XXII Quod Romana ecclesia nunquam erravit nec imperpetuum scriptura testante errabit. That the Roman Church has never erred nor shall ever err in perpetuity, as Scripture testifies.

Dr. Mazza speaks with Dr. Taylor on Benedict’s status as Pope

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

This is an interesting and informative discussion, but inasmuch as it does not address canon 17 or canon 188, it presents no clear conclusion, which only comes from the determination of Canon Law, since the question of what Pope Benedict XVI’s Declaratio effects or means is formally a canonical one.

However, on theological grounds the conversation also misses a major point, namely, that the connection between the Papal Primacy and the Roman Church, even if not of divine right, is of apostolic right, and that, though the Successors of Saint Peter hold the same office as Peter, they do not exercise the full authority of the Saint as Apostle, and therefore, they cannot separate the Papacy from the Church of Rome. The theological reason is that the Successors of Saint Peter are servants, not lords, of the Deposit of the Faith, which includes, among other things, Apostolic Tradition. Thus the decision of Peter to fix his Office as Pope to the Roman Church, which decision was made by Apostolic authority, and passes into Apostolic Tradition, is not something over which the successors of Saint Peter have authority. Yes, they can go and live anywhere in the world they want to, but they remain Bishop of Rome, of which there can be no other, unless in law the other be an auxiliary or vicar. Since Benedict did not grant such authority IN LAW to Bergoglio, Bergoglio has zero authority over the Church of Rome and zero authority over the Catholic Church on Earth.

Nevertheless, the discussion in the video sheds a lot of light on the intentions of Pope Benedict XVI in his own language, and how he may have intended to separate the Primacy from the Bishopric of Rome.

Archbishop Viganò omits faith in Jesus Christ and the Church in letter to Rabbi

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

In response to the Open Letter on the Covid-Crisis which Archbishop Viganò published with the names of 13 bishops and several Cardinals, and which was subsequently signed by some 40,000 faithful, a Jewish Rabbi in Germany, by the name of Ahrens, objected in an editorial for a German Catholic publication, discounting the statement as an appeal to conspiracy theories.

In response, the Archbishop wrote a public letter to the Rabbi. In it he defends the truth of the problem with the Covid-19 response. And that is good. But in the process he betrays the Gospel and his Apostolic Mission, by writing:

Liquidare queste preoccupazioni – peraltro espresse anche da autorevoli personalità – come «teorie del complotto» non mi sembra un atteggiamento costruttivo: soprattutto se non si entra nel merito, confutando ciò che si ritiene non vero. Le chiedo quindi: in che cosa, in particolare, Lei non concorda con il testo dell’Appello? Cosa, dell’Appello, rappresenta per Lei uno «shock»?

Mi creda: non avrei mai pensato che l’Appello potesse offenderLa; d’altra parte, per quale motivo un Rabbino dovrebbe sentirsi chiamato in causa, quando si parla di Nuovo Ordine Mondiale? Il Messia che Israele attende è Rex pacificus, Princeps pacis, Pater futuri saeculi: non un tiranno senza morale che domina il mondo sottomettendo gli uomini come schiavi. Questo è piuttosto l’Anticristo.

Which in English is:

To dismiss these concerns — expressed, moreover, also by authorative personalities — as “conspiracy theories” does not seem to be a constructive attitude: above all if one does not address the merit of the issue, by confusing it with what one regards as true.  I ask you therefore: in what, in particular, do you disagree with the text of the Appeal? What in the Appeal represents for you a “shock”?

Believe me: I would never have thought that the Appeal could be offensive to you; on the other hand, for what reason might a Rabbi feel called into the debate, when one is speaking of the New World Order?  The Messiah which Israel is awaiting is the Rex pacificus, the Princeps pacis, the Pater futuri saeculi: not a tyrant without morals who dominates the world by making men submit like slaves. This is rather the Antichrist.

There the Archbishop leaves it. In the rest of the Letter he says nothing more of Jesus Christ or the Church. He has conceded that unbelieving Jews are Israel and that their Messiah is yet to come.

Together such affirmations represent a least a decision to be silent about Jesus, and worse a tacit consent in a theory of Two Messiahs, one for Jews and one for Christians, which a godless heresy.

Because while it is true that the Jews of old are Israel — named on account of their descent from Jacob whose  name God changed after he wrestled with an Angel — Saint Paul speaks of their conversion only in regard to faith in Jesus Christ. Such a nation is Israel.

But Christ came, so that nation no longer is awaiting Him. They have either accepted Him or rejected him. There is no other Messiah to come.

But for the people of Israel which awaits another, Christ Himself said those were the sons of the Devil, not of Abraham. Nor can anyone, without playing games with words, theology and doctrine, claim that the Jews today are still waiting the Messiah. If they do not believe in Jesus and reject Him, then they are not awaiting him in any sense or stretch of the imagination!

Nay, rather, the real and true Israel is the Catholic Church and the Jews throughout the ages who have converted to the Faith. And Moses confirms this in Deuteronomy, where he says that those who reject the prophet to come after him, the Messiah, shall be cut off from the People of God by God Himself.

What the Archbishop has done might seem to him fine diplomacy, but Our Lord did not commission the Apostles as diplomats — as anyone who reads the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles can see.

Ratzinger vs. The Benedict Bot: A case in point: The 3rd Secret of Fatima

 

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

After my revelations that I had been threatened over the phone by Archbishop Ganswein, the revelations which burst out from Archbishop Viganò and others in January about the duplicity of the private secretary of Pope Benedict XVI, shed real light on the need to review all the statements alleged to be from Pope Benedict XVI after February 2013, as to their authenticity. (See links in this paragraph for pertinent articles about this).

Editor’s Note: The phrase, “The Benedict Bot”, as used above in the title of the present article, is a term coined by Frank Walker, editor of Canon212.com, and used to characterized the apparently manufactured and artificial statements by others in the Vatican, which are attributed by the Vatican Press Office to the Roman Pontiff, in such wise as to raise grave concerns whether they are in any way an authentic expression of his mind. Thus the Benedict Bot is the persona created by the Vatican. This term obviously refers to a theory of interpretation, because without video confirmation that Pope Benedict XVI has said something, the matter is always capable of doubt, especially after the Vatican has been caught twice falsifying the letter and statements of Pope Benedict, as FromRome.Info has reported previously, not to mention every translation of his Declaration of Feb. 11, 2013.

Now, on the fourth anniversary of the controversy over the Third Secret of Fatima which exploded in Catholic Media in May of 2016, I think that time has come to compare the real Ratzinger with the Benedict Bot. So lets examine what Cardinal Ratzinger is alleged by a close friend on 3 occasions to have said, BEFORE February 2013, and what he is alleged to have said by the Vatican Press Office in 2016.

Cardinal Ratzinger on the Third Secret

Here is the testimony of Father Paul Kramer, in his interview in the Fatima Crusader edition of 2009, where he reports the testimony of Father Ingo Dollinger, regarding the Third Secret of Fatima, and his conversations with Cardinal Ratzinger.

Then on June 26, 2000, Cardinal Ratzinger published for the world the document [on the Third Secret] contain-ing the vision of a “bishop in white”, claiming that the en-tire Secret is set forth in this document. Yet it can only be understood that way if we say that he is using a mental res-ervation; that what is set forth by Our Lady in Her words is already implicitly contained symbolically in the vision. The elderly German priest, Ratzinger’s long-time person-al friend, took note of the fact that when this vision of the Third Secret was published it

The Fatima Crusader 10 May 2009May 200911 The Fatima Crusader did not contain those things, those elements of the Third Secret that Cardinal Ratzinger had revealed to him nearly ten years earlier. The German priest — Father Döllinger — told me that his question was burning in his mind on the day he concelebrated with Cardinal Ratzinger. Father Döllinger said to me, “I con-fronted Cardinal Ratzinger to his face.” And of course he asked Cardinal Ratzinger, “how can this be the entire Third Secret? Remember what you told me before?” Cardinal Ratzinger was cornered. He didn’t know what to say and so he blurted out to his friend in German, “Wirklich gebt das der etwas” which means “really there is something more there,” meaning there is something more in the Third Secret. The Cardinal stated this quite plainly.

I have tracked down the original article, here. Christopher A. Ferrara refers to this interview in his commentary on the events of 2016, here.

The Fatima Crusader, on its FaceBook page, in on May 17, 2016, reported Father Kramer’s more detailed testimony thus:

STATEMENT FROM FATHER PAUL KRAMER
Regarding the Recent Confirmation by Fr. Ingo Döllinger

<< Third Secret of Fatima Still Mainly Concealed; Warns Against an Evil Council and Changes in the Liturgy >>

“Fr. Ingo Döllinger is a several decades long close personal friend of Pope Benedict XVI. Cardinal Ratzinger told Dr. Döllinger around 1991 that the 3rd Secret speaks of an ‘evil council,’ and warned against changing and adulterating the liturgy of the Mass — literally against adding extraneous elements into the liturgy (which is exactly what Bugnini & Co. did by adding Protestant elements into the liturgy).

“The Secret, according to Döllinger, also speaks negatively about the Conciliar popes, according to what Ratzinger told Döllinger — comparing one pope to a chameleon, another to a serpent, etc.

“Dr. Döllinger spoke not only to me and Joseph Cain on what Ratzinger had told him, but he related even more details to the young clerics in the seminary of Anapolis (Brazil), where he had been rector. I myself and Joseph have spoken not only with Döllinger, but also with the priests and deacons in Brazil who had heard Dr. Döllinger relate to them the details of the Secret that had been told to him personally by Cardinal Ratzinger around 1991.

“After the publication of the ‘bishop in white’ vision of the 3rd Secret, Döllinger noticed that the details of the Secret that Ratzinger had revealed to him nearly a decade earlier were not in the ‘bishop in white’ version of the secret. When Döllinger had his next opportunity to meet with Cardinal Ratzinger (after a concelebrated Mass), Döllinger asked Ratzinger how it can be said that the whole Secret has been published, since the details of the Secret earlier mentioned to him by Ratzinger were conspicuously absent from the version of the Secret published by Ratzinger on 26 June 2000. Ratzinger was cornered, and therefore blurted out, ‘Wirklich giebt es da noch etwas.’ (‘Really there is more there.’) Dr. Döllinger also told Joseph and me that he had personally known (St.) Pio of Pietrelcina, and that he had made his confession to Padre Pio fifty-eight times.”

Andin 2016, Maike Hickson revived the story and started a firestorm by doing so, by quoting Father Dollinger thus, in her article at One Peter Five, published on May, 15, just two days earlier:

Not long after the June 2000 publication of the Third Secret of Fatima by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger told Fr. Dollinger during an in-person conversation that there is still a part of the Third Secret that they have not published! “There is more than what we published,” Ratzinger said. He also told Dollinger that the published part of the Secret is authentic and that the unpublished part of the Secret speaks about “a bad council and a bad Mass” that was to come in the near future.

Thus, Cardinal Ratzinger before becoming pope.

The Benedict Bot Responds

Now for the Vatican Press office response of May 21, 2016:

Several articles have appeared recently, including declarations attributed to Professor Ingo Dollinger according to which Cardinal Ratzinger, after the publication of the Third Secret of Fatima (which took place in June 2000), had confided to him that the publication was not complete.

In this regard, Pope emeritus Benedict XVI declares “never to have spoken with Professor Dollinger about Fatima”, clearly affirming that the remarks attributed to Professor Dollinger on the matter “are pure inventions, absolutely untrue”, and he confirms decisively that “the publication of the Third Secret of Fatima is complete”.

The first thing to notice is that the Benedict Bot is calling a life long friend and confidant, of impeccable public reputation, a bold face liar.  I do not know of any case in the entire personal history of Pope Benedict XVI that he calls anyone a liar, let alone a close friend. That is entirely out of character for Benedict. But not for Bergoglio and many who now rule the Vatican.

Second, the Vatican Press Office does not quote the sources of the reports they are attempted to rebut. Are they afraid that others might start analyzing the evidence?

Third, the Vatican Press Office does not say to whom Pope Benedict XVI made these recent statements, who was present, who witnesses them, nor reports their entire context, or even if they refer to his conversations with Father Dollinger, because if you notice how the quotations are spliced, important context has been left out to verify such a relation between them — even if they are authentic quotes — to Father Dollinger’s reported statements on the Third Secret.

For these three reasons, one can doubt that the statement from the Vatican Press Office is an authentic representation of anything Pope Benedict XVI said in 2016, if he said anything at all.

Finally, seeing how Archbishop Gänswein was caught in bold face lies when he denied that Pope Benedict XVI had collaborated in certain matters regarding the Book on Celibacy by Cardinal Sarah, I think we might be able to guess where the source of the Benedict Bot statements of 2016 may have come from.

General Pappalardo expells Silvano Mariotti from the Gilet Arancioni

 

https://youtu.be/T2D5ChgpyyM

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

The latest news from the political movement seeking a sort of Orange Revolution in Italy, is that they have expelled from their movement a certain Silvano Mariotti. The news was announced last night by none other than General Pappalardo, the President of the Gilet Arancioni (Orange Vests), in the above video. The General says this was done because he had displayed the symbol of the movement alongside that of the Littoria Fascista. The general also warned about the danger of infiltration into the Gilet Arancioni by Frange Fasciste, that is, Fascists, admirers of the political program of Benito Mussolini, who came to power under the last King of Italy and who led the Kingdom of Italy into the Second World War on the side of Nazi Germany.

For those unfamiliar with Italian History, some explanation is required.

The Littoria Fascista is a term referring to the Fascist Movement which supported Mussolini’s rise to power. In the United States of America, we are wont to often refer to both German, Italian and Spanish political movements of the far right, as Fascists, but this is incorrect.

In Germany, the Nazi party was a political party which grew out of the left. They were socialists but die hard nationalists. They proposed the economic and cultural development of Germany while rejecting the Christian heritage of the nation in favor of a mythical, romanticist notion of the pagan origins of the German people (folk). The Naionalist Socialist movement therefore was a form of historical revisionism. And Adolf Hitler, who became its leader was not even a German citizen. He was an Austrian of Jewish lineage on both sides of his family.

In Spain, the efforts of the hard Left who seized power in the Spanish Parliament caused a violent reaction among those elements of the Spanish Military who wanted to protect Spain and her religious and cultural institutions from the fate of a Soviet like dictatorship. The Spanish Military in Morocco rebelled and soon the leader of the rebellion was a general by the name of Franco. The resulting civil war ended with the victory of Franco’s forces, who both during the war and thereafter were known for repressive actions. Franco, however, was neither a Nazi nor a Fascist. He was a devout Catholic and always defended the Christian heritage of Spain, even if he was in favor of a modern system of government, rather than in restoring a strict monarchy.

Fascism, properly speaking, however, was a political movement and ideology created by Giovanni Gentile and Benito Mussolini in 1915. It wanted to restore the greatness of Italy in the times of the Roman Empire, thus rejecting the Christian heritage of the nation and trying to appropriate the grandeur of what was Rome in the name of Italian nationalism. Fascism, therefore, like National Socialism was a form of historical revisionism and was in truth a leftist ideology, even though its approach to the Christian Heritage of Italy was more like that of General Franco and entirely unlike that of Adolf Hitler.

Screenshot_2020-05-27 fascio-littorio-1930 jpg (WEBP Image, 218 × 300 pixels)So, what are the Lttoria Fascista of which General Papplardo speaks? This was the political symbol of Mussolini’s Fascist Party. In ancient Rome, the praetors of the people, who judged criminal cases, were proceeded in processions and in the execution of their duties by servants who carred Fasces lictoriae, bundles of sticks bound by straps around the wooden handle of a double headed axe. Those who carried these bundles were know as lictors. And hence the modern Italian word, Littoria, which refers to that which they carried. While I cannot be sure of which form of the Littoria Fascista Silvano Moretti is accused of displaying, the image to the right shows what one historical form of the Fascist Littoria, which differed from the historical Roman form, in that it had an axe bound on the outside. For the Romans the axe symbolized the power and jurisdiction of a Roman magistrate.

General Pappalardo, elsewhere, makes much mention of the heroic deeds of his own father, who after the fall of the Italian Government in 1943, when the King of Italy dismissed Mussolini from power, fought on the side of the Italian resistance against the Germans and the Fascists still operating in Northern Italy. The Germans, after an amazing rescue of Mussolini from a mountain top prison, deep behind Allied lines, set him up as the head of a puppet state in the north of the country. A violent civil war broke out in the north, and I gather that Pappalardo senior saw action there. The Italian Resistance was mostly composed of Marxists, and so it is understandable why the General takes such strong exception to the presence of any admirers of Fascism in the Gilet Arancioni.

In modern Italy, one of the enduring characteristics of politics is the inability of Italians to break free from the historical categories in which politics has expressed itself. Many Italians to this day, especially in Southern Italy, admire what Mussolini did or tried to do, overlooking all his deceits, frauds and villanies. The Gilet Arancioni, themselves, are a group which imitates the protest movements in France in recent years, movements which are themselves sponsored by French Marxists. General Pappalardo, however, professes himself a strong believer in the Christian Faith, even though he has on occasion publicly praised the Argentine in the Vatican, who is clearly a Marxist himself.

Silvano Mariotti, who identified himself a coordinator of the Gilet Arancioni in the region of Lazio, in this video, is the man wearing the New York Yankees hat.

Mr. Mariotti, or at least a man with exactly the same name, explains who he is in a very long personal comment on a page featuring news about the Gilet Arancioni on April 20, 2020, at the site of the S.U.P.U, the Union for Uniformed Service men. Pappalardo, himself, once was a union rep, and this is perhaps why the Union ran a story about the Gilet Arancioni.

For a fair and balanced coverage, I offer here an English translation of Mariotti’s comment about himself:

Good morning, General Pappalardo. Who writes to you is a Simple Citizen of 48 years old who lives in the Municipality of Fiumicino.Father of 2 fantastic Children and Husband of an house Wife. Great worker, 26 years of contributions spent on articulated trucks, and similar, for about 6 years I have been working for a company that deals with waste disposal and I deal with the disposal that from the neighboring municipalities of Rome are precisely disposed of in storage facilities scattered throughout the Italian territory. I would like to take this opportunity to give you a summary of my life by telling you that: as a boy, having been born in a Malfamata area of Rome, I found myself only because of the divorce of my parents I had taken a path that I will never recommend neither to my children nor to the children of any human being. I was arrested back in 1994, believe me only for having indicated to two plainclothes policemen who were dealing drugs. And for me it was over, my young age, not having a father present at the time, which warned me of the danger that I could not have even confessed to declaring my knowledge of a drug dealer. I was just Mr General. I was sentenced, 7 months locked up in a house arrest and then freedom. A new life. In those 7 long, infernal months I understood something very simple. That life was not and could not be an integral part of my journey. My mother was a nurse at St. Camillus, my father a trade unionist Provincial of the U.I.L. and in the factotum house also for his past as a carpenter. Thanks to my parents, uncles and grandparents, I was raised since I was a child with the right values. The Family, respect for the greatest, for the weakest, but above all the concrete basis of my Values is based on the belief of God, Jesus Christ Crucified and Risen, of the Mother of Mothers who watches over all of us and Saint Rita of Cascia. And on the respect of the Rules, the Justice and the Respect for the Divisa, indiscriminately what is its Color. My life hasn’t been an easy life, falling into the trap mentioned above which has got me a heavy weight weighty train because as you know once you are on the Black List of Justice, there is always the risk that those skeletons in the closet will suddenly pop up again to bring you back into the world of Darkness, Well, those skeletons have tried more than once to destroy what I was trying with all the Forces in the years to build, with the sacrifices of Work, the detachment from old friendships for the fear of being pointed out again for what they really are not. And in fact, so much is my strength, so much is the love that my Mother, Woman of character but of a sensibility out of the ordinary, so much was my will to undertake a life based on the legality of the spirit, that I managed to win this Battle that now, to tell the truth for years I can say, to have become what destiny had already set me. A real man, who crashes nothing and nobody. Now, after years, I realize that I have taken the most difficult and difficult road that a man could choose. But at the same time I realize that this is the road that pays you back most in spirit. “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” Gospel according to John: 8,3. Sorry for my presentation, but I had to introduce myself so that I undressed before you Mr. General, you can understand that to you is presented a humble, sincere and ready to give all of himself for this Campaign that you will have to face side by side for the Fatherland, and to leave a better inheritance to my Sons and to all the Sons of Our Italy. Mr. General, if you allow me, I would like to accompany you, helping you with all my strength on June 2. Millions of people will have to reside in the Square, not 1 million as you rightly cautiously said. I would like to point out that thanks to a friend in the Municipality I have arrived to you, this friend is called Roberto Gianfelici. I met him in a group on FaceBook so by chance while I was trying to unite as many ordinary people as possible for a peaceful Mass Demonstration. The moment is serious Mr. General my motto is “SUB LEX LIBERTAS- MEMENTO AUDERE SEMPER” you know what I am talking about. I have been working for more than a month to organize a peaceful mass demonstration to give a shoulder to this illegitimate and wretched government, I was also chosen by a group that will soon become a Civic Movement, a group of honest men without crickets ready for the weaving machine has done a painstaking job starting from the Territory then from the People to seek as much support as possible, but in the long term. The next elections are too far away for me, this government will soon crush us and in 2 years it will be too late in my opinion. I’m ready to leave him if welcomed in his Campaign. Watching your video last night “Orange vest election campaign”, excuse me Mr. General but I’m not ashamed to say it, I was moved. I saw in you, a Father. That Father who will save our beloved Italy and Our Generation to come. I am ready, if you will give me the right Directives, the means to involve as many citizens as possible and you will explain to me how it is possible today with the laws that have been made in favor of the Powerful of this Europe that does not belong to us, I can assure you that you have found in me a valiant People’s Officer, able to gather a Battalion, composed of Family Fathers, Grandparents and young people with clear ideas. The composure and respect of the Forces of Order will be the priority, it will be more important than the purpose that pushed us in the Square. In the future I have already been a Leader. It was just a MotoClub, certainly another branch, but the Men are always the same. Holding back hundreds of motorcyclists around Italy is not easy for everyone and modestly, when people read in your eyes that belief, the words are superfluous, I’m sure you Mr. General knows what I’m talking about. I hope that after this small summary of My Person, you will contact me soon for a cognitive interview. Roberto Gianfelici left me the number of Comm. Giuseppe Pino, but I would like to be summoned directly by you, because I am sure that you, having read this letter, already know which person is in front of you. A serious man, loyal, with the right ideals and ready to give his life for the good of his children and his wife, for a better future, for an Italy finally great economic power, great beacon for the whole humanity. Honesty. Religious beliefs. Family. Homeland. Good day Mr. General Pappalardo and Long live Italy.

Most of the admirers of Fascism, whom I have met in Italy in the last 15 years, are what I would call political nostalgists. I do not think any of them are capable of violence. They just have a political vision which looks to the past, and seeks to find a point of reference, in a history of Italy which does not have any real modern points of reference. This is not to deny that Fascism as a movement exploited the Church for godless motives and ends, and represents one of the great stains and enduring wounds in the Italian nation and body politic. And I think if the comment from Mariotti is to be taken on its face value, it is clear that he is not a Fascist in the proper sense, rather, he is a devout Catholic.

It is our duty as Catholics to resist COVID-19 Tyranny and the Virus Mass

by Don Elia

A Catholic Priest

All totalitarian regimes, in order to assert their unconditional power, impose on the people a conglomeration of rules that are so absurd as to be ridiculous, so useless and unreasonable; the important thing is that people submit without argument, which can cause very serious trouble.

In the present case, however, there is little to laugh about, given the damage caused by the rules of containment to all areas of individual and collective life: collapse of industrial production, growing poverty, suffocating social control, climate of fear and suspicion, deteriorating relationships, emotional isolation, psychosomatic illnesses… In such conditions the individual ends up feeling helpless, vulnerable, unprotected and is therefore pushed to take refuge in the apparent security offered by an authority which, in reality, no longer operates for its actual good, but only to its own advantage, to maintain power for the benefit, in the final analysis, of those who manoeuvre it from behind the scenes.

Of course, there will still be those who will still label these speeches as a form of conspiracy, but history teaches us that a regime cannot impose itself or maintain itself without the support of a financial oligarchy that feeds it to achieve its own hidden purposes.

Independent information, in such a context, is an indispensable weapon of defense. It is now clear that we are victims of an enormous media manipulation that has exaggerated the problem with the effect of creating panic, but continues to disseminate incorrect data on the health situation, so as to make an objective evaluation practically impossible. The systematic effort to discredit opinions contrary to the official version appears suspicious to say the least, also taking into account the fact that the members of the unquestionable Scientific and Technical Committee certainly do not shine by competence, given that their names occupy very low positions in the H-Index, the ranking that orders the authors according to the impact of their contributions on the scientific literature. It is not at all difficult to explain their appointment with purely political reasons, as soon as one examines their ideological orientations, which have very little to do with science. Those who do not profess the “creed” of the dominant thought (gender, globalism, immigrationism, reproductive health, dignity of dying, etc.) do not have the slightest chance in this system.

In the legitimate and rightful attempt to acquire truthful knowledge of the current situation, however, one cannot avoid vigilance and discernment, in order to avoid falling into the traps set for those who, mistrusting official lies, seek lies elsewhere. Sites are beginning to appear in which nothing but regime propaganda passed off as alternative information is spread, but there is also no shortage of those who spread colossal hoaxes to discredit those who instead work seriously; the documented statements of competent journalists, then, are often deliberately deformed in a tendentious way to undermine their reliability. However, there are facts that are difficult to challenge, if you consider the amount of news about it: from projects of planetary scope called 5G, Bluebeam, ID 2020, to the declared desire to vaccinate the world population (with findings that would modify the human genome, cause cancer and make them all traceable) by a virus created in a molecular biology laboratory and regularly patented. Each of these subjects would deserve its own research.

This investigation, however necessary it may be, in turn hides another trap, this time of a spiritual nature. The danger, here, is to let oneself be sucked into the analysis of earthly reality and lose sight of the supernatural horizon. The masses of information, the laughter of hypotheses, the skein of conflicting opinions are a labyrinth from which one risks never coming out again, forgetting the presence of God in history, who governs everything with His providence and guides events towards the triumph of His kingdom. He extends His invincible Hand to protect those who believe in Him with sincere faith, await with unshakeable hope the fulfillment of His promises and assiduously practice active charity. He sends the Angels to guide them, protect them and watch over them; He wants the intercession of the Saints and welcomes their prayers; He chooses fervent souls who offer themselves to Him to draw graces to others… in a few words, He deploys all His resources to help them with the help of the creatures closest to Him. It is upon this extraordinary reality that we must fix our minds and hearts not to succumb, but also not to do wrong to the Creator.

The correct cooperation between nature and grace requires man to play his part in identifying and avoiding dangers, but he is constantly asking for both the inner light to recognize them with certainty and face them in the right way, and the supernatural force to successfully oppose threats. Although the cardinal virtues cannot be treated in depth here, it seems clear from the available data that the first decision to be taken will be the rejection of the announced vaccine and swabs, which are far from safe and easily exploitable means to make huge profits from the health crisis. It is neither lawful nor legal to force citizens to undergo a particular medical treatment; moreover, it makes no sense to do so with those who have not shown any symptoms. Serological testing for plasma donation by cured people cannot be carried out except on a voluntary basis, either.

Beyond what can be humanly understood, however, the primary resource to resist remains prayer, which is indispensable both to develop the supernatural virtues and to increase the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The more one prays, the more sensitive one becomes to the Divine Voice that resounds in the depths of a pure conscience: Audiam quid loquatur in me Dominus Deus (I will listen to what the Lord God says in me; Ps 84:9). The humble, persevering plea to the Almighty also communicates an invincible strength over human powers: only he who kneels before God knows how to stand before men.

In particular, in the present moment, one must oppose the iniquitous provisions concerning communion. We absolutely cannot give in on what we have most precious of all: not expedit! If we let the Lord be treated in this way, how far will His enemies dare to go? In the Eucharist the Redeemer still surrenders himself to men, but not to be outraged and crucified again, but to feed them for eternal life. I therefore beseech my brother priests not to apply the norms and not to allow themselves to be intimidated by human decrees rather than by divine judgment: we will have to account for much more than others!

Do we really or not believe in the protection that the Lord grants His faithful ministers? And is it not an honor to suffer for Him, if any? “They left the Sanhedrin with joy, for they were considered worthy to be outraged for the name of Jesus” (Acts 5:41). How will we be able, on the day of death, to look up with confidence to the heavenly Judge, if we have feared the earthly judges more? How can we still say: “The Body of Christ”, in delivering it as a despicable object? How can we continue to preach His word pretending to be taken seriously? No, my brethren, we cannot give up on what is so serious. Why not all together, every day, invoke Mary Help of Christians and Saint Michael the Archangel to defend and guard the Church? They will answer us immediately: try to believe. Array of Angels and Saints fight with us against the demonic hordes and their human allies. Learn to celebrate in the traditional rite and you will become warriors of the King of Kings, of that Crucified One who, risen, triumphed by ascending to heaven, having received all power in heaven and on earth.

And you, dear faithful, do not be discouraged, but insist that Holy Communion be given to you in a proper manner: it is your sacred right, which no one in the world can trample on! Prove yourselves worthy of Him who for you has suffered death on the Cross and give Him all the honour you can. If you really cannot obtain what you ask, offer a novena to the Holy Spirit, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians, so that He may make you find a priest who will communicate to you properly. There are many more of them than appear, but they are scattered a bit everywhere and, out of necessity, discreet, since the first ones to fear are often their superiors. Do not judge priests who do not consent to you, but pray for them, so that they may convert or take courage, even with the supernatural prudence necessary not to be put out of play. Divine Wisdom suggests unthinkable solutions when the sheep invoke it in faith for their Pastors. As a last resort, communion can be given outside of Mass, but the best answer remains, in this case, a necessary resistance, which will be all the more effective the more extensive and generalized.

O Mary, powerful Virgin, great and illustrious defense of the Church! Thou, wonderful help of Christians; Thou, terrible as an army in battle; Thou, who alone destroyed all the heresies in the world; Thou, in anguish, in struggle, in need, defending us from the enemy and, at the hour of death, take us to Heaven! (by St. John Bosco)

Sancte Michaël Archangele, defende nos in proelio; contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute in infernum detrude (Leone XIII).
In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos (In Dio faremo cose potenti; egli stesso ridurrà a nulla coloro che ci affliggono; Sal 59, 14).

Perpetual Supplica

THESE PRAYERS ARE SAID EACH MIDNIGHT
IN FRONT OF THE BASILICA OF SANTA MARIA MAGGIORE AT ROME

This devotion is inspired by the request made by Our Lady Herself in
Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich’s Vision of

August 25, 1822: “I know not now how I went to Rome last night, but I found myself near the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. Around it I saw crowds of poor, pious souls, in great distress and anxiety on account of the Pope’s disappearance and the agitation and alarming reports throughout the city. Led by one common impulse, they had come to invoke the Mother of God. They did not expect to find the church open, they intended only to pray outside. But I was inside, I opened the door and they entered, astounded at the door’s opening of itself. I was standing aloof where they could not see me. There was no service, only the chancel-lamps were burning, and the people knelt in quiet prayer. Then the Mother of God appeared. She said that great tribulations were at hand; that the people must pray earnestly with extended arms, if only for the length of three Our Fathers, for it was thus that her Son had prayed for them upon the Cross; that they should rise at midnight to pray thus; that they should continue to come to Her church which they would always find open; and that they should, above all, pray for the extirpation of the Church of Darkness. … I know not whether the people saw the apparition or not, but they must have been impressed by something supernatural for, when the Blessed Virgin said they should pray to God with arms extended, all lifted up their arms … It seemed to be an association of prayer.” From this time Sister Emmerich assisted nightly at the pious exercises at Santa Maria Maggiore. (The Life and Revelations of Ann Catherine Emmerich, Book 2)

Senator Martelli denounces the Italian Government for using Covid-19 as an excuse for Tyranny

https://youtu.be/mP1m1eR5vpM

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Senator Carlo Martelli, a member of the independent, Mixed Group, in the Italian Parliament, set out the true history of the Covid-19 response in Italy.  The speach was given on May 26, 2020, I believe, but it is hard to determine since Google.com has censored the existence of his intervention from the web. First the original transcript, then an English translation. The transcript is a YouTube.com transcript, in which I have found one error, and there could be others.

TRANSCRIPT OF THE ORIGINAL ITALIAN

Prima volta in sette anni e mezzo che mi presento con un discorso scritto e preoccupa anche me stesso la cosa allora vorrei partire da qua perché: perchétutto quello che è successo da quando è stata fatta la dichiarazione dello stato di emergenza merita di essere raccontato, messo bene in fila, cioè tutti i fatti vanno messi bene in file osservati attentamente.

E prima di procedere con questa narrazione vorrei però far notare una cosa cioè mica penserete che per aver scritto fatti salvi DCPM precedenti questi vengano improvvisamente elevati al rango di norma primaria, cioè diventino leggi comportata normativa il potere modificativo di altre leggi, no, perché se pensate questo pensate sbagliato.

Detto questo, vediamo un po questa narrazione questa storia, questo ‘cosa è successo?’ Io partirei dalla prima fase che potrei chiamare fase preliminare: un periodo pre-crisi quando ancora si commentavano i video di quello che succedeva da altre parti veri o falsi, che fossero in quel periodo come giustamente è, ciascuno aveva la sua opinione su come si sarebbe dovuto procedere se la cosa si fosse verificato in Italia.

E anche nell’ambiente medico nell’ambiente degli specialisti che non hanno neanche loro la verità in tasca come insegna il nostro immunologo da salotto che ogni domanda risponde sempre, “Io questa cosa non la so, ma nessun’altra”. Cioè, immaginate in un esame universitario se lo studente che avete davanti a ogni domanda vi dicesse, “Noi questa cosa non la so, ma nessun’altra”, io direi, “Guarda. Allora fai una cosa: torni la prossima volta quando sai quello che ti chiedo non quando vuoi parlare di quello che dici tu!”

Ebbene queste persone avevano una pluralità di opinioni. Questa pluralità di opinioni nella fase 1 fase proprio nella quale siamo entrati in media stress è venuta meno cioè a questo punto le categorie che erano più esposte mediaticamente cioè ambiente medico l’ambiente dei ricercatori, l’ambiente politico, l’ambiente dell’informazione hanno cominciato a cantare tutti la stessa la stessa musica, la stessa messa, cioè è diventata una specie di pensiero unico nazionale e questo che cosa è diventato, è diventato, una gara al catastrofismo, cioè chi la sparava più grossa questo ho avuto come effetto collaterale la paura, cioè gli italiani si sono impauriti anche perché li avete piazzati in casa con la televisione che li limes meritava.

Voglio proprio usare l’espressione memorizzare non incrociare perché il signor messmer in questo caso potrebbe dire qualcosa e quindi un atteggiamento molto umano ha fatto, sì, che la paura di chi parlava è diventata la paura di tutti, cioè la paura del politico di bruciarsi se avesse fatto la decisone presa la decisione sbagliata, quella del dell’immunologo da salotto che avesse detto la cosa sbagliata in quel momento che poi si fosse verificata come sbagliata dopo.

O quel giornalista che si faceva bucare portando avanti una notizia che non era con la buona se sarebbero bruciati. Quindi tutti quanti hanno mirato la propria preservazione e questo, secondo me, è stato il primo errore — non è più grosso ma il primo — perché chi esercita il potere che è quello dell’informazione o è quello della salute o è quello politico non può permettersi questa mancanza di professionalità non può permettersi che la propria paura diventi la paura di qualcun altro e quindi sulla base della paura avete praticamente messo guinzaglio e museruola questa qua ai cittadini il guinzaglio apparentemente virtuale, non più di 200 metri da casa ma, è diventato un intaglio reale.

Per che cosa è successo che la gente ha paura di uscire di casa. La gente ha cominciato avere paura paura di tutto compreso.

E qua il secondo è il più grave errore comprese le persone che avevano una divisa le forze dell’ordine. Cosa è successo praticamente, avete fatto uscire dalla quarta parete rompere alla quarta parete al vigile di alberto sordi quello che è molto poco professionalmente esercitava ruolo di vigile, con addosso la divisa di vigile, e quindi noi abbiamo visto cose assurde. Ci abbiamo visto che la municipale secondo folli ordinanze doveva aprire la busta della spesa delle persone per controllare se la spesa era coerente con l’ordinanza! che diceva di spendere più di 50 euro! Ma il governo avrebbe dovuto dire a questa gente che questa è una perquisizione personale e richiede un’autorizzazione oppure le esibizioni di uno scontrino, ma neanche la gdf ti può chiedere lo scontrino più. Puoi, può chiedere la prova dell’acquisto ma non può controllare quanto hai speso e quindi ‘qual è l’importo?’ e ‘cosa hai comprato?” e questa cosa qua non è stata detta!

Avreste dovuto prendere questa gente i sindaci dire, “Caro sindaco siccome il governo ha avocato a sé la gestione tutte le ordinanze più restrittive sono automaticamente!” E uscita la sentenza del Consiglio di Stato che ha detto quello che ha fatto il Sindaco di Messina è una follia, “e quindi andava censurate la sua ordinanza di cadere questo fa giurisprudenza costituzionale.”

Però naturalmente nessuno ha detto nulla! Forse facevano comodo provvedimenti ancora più e sentivi che impari vano le persone! Io credo che non faccia comodo a nessuno che la gente abbia paura nelle forze dell’ordine che nella maggior parte dei casi si sono comportati e professionalmente e in pochi casi — ma purtroppo in questo, una questa situazione di compressione dei diritti costituzionali, non è anche a chi esercita il potere: non è permesso non solo di oltrepassare la linea ma neanche di provare a spostarla in questa situazione!

Andava chiarito che la mancanza di professionalità non era ammissibile che bisognava avere la perfetta conoscenza delle norme, per esempio, che non si può imporre un autocertificazione. La legge da la facoltà di autocertificare non l’obbligo!

Io non posso essere costretto a meno che non ci sia un provvedimento di portata normativa che cambia la 44 3 445 del 2000, io non possa essere costretto a dovuto certificare, e men che meno, certi ad autocertificare il mio stato di salute! Cosa che è espressamente vietata da quella norma articolo 49!

Bene cosa è successo successivamente, successivamente a questo che naturalmente in un sistema imperfetto. Dove esiste anche la rete. Sono cominciate a circolare altre notizie confermate, cose del tipo, “Ma nelle altre nazioni non fanno questo!”, oppure articoli di giornale palesemente fuorvianti, come un ragazzo di 30 anni, il più giovane è morto per coronavirus! e poi in piccolo era in coma da tre anni e irreversibili e gli avevano sparato in testa. Questo è giornalismo! Questa informazione no! Però siccome poi qualcuno ha iniziato a farmi notare, è scattato il Ministero Unico della Verità, che potrei definire il custode della verità unica nazionale. Quello che decide cosa è giusto, cosa non è giusto, cosa va rimosso, cosa va censurato — e quindi

E quindi cosa è successo? è successo che sono state rimosse interviste a premi nobel che sono stati delegittimati! Ha ! Ormai è vecchio, oppure al più grande virologo mondiale — di dire che detiene il 5 per cento di tutte le citazioni mondiali in questa, in questo, in questo campo — Vedete per me che sono veramente un uomo di scienza perché la matematica modestamente l’unica scienza esatta da 4000 anni dire che siccome la comunità scientifica scaricato una persona allora quello che dice non è valido! è un po come dire, “Io non sono d’accordo con la teoria della gravitazione newton, quindi adesso mirato torni sull’albero!” “Perché siccome io ti ho scaricato le tue affermazioni non sono più valide!”

Un medico scaricato dall’ordine non è più un medico. Non ha, più, non sa più niente e possiamo andare avanti all’infinito!

Allora questo è quello che voi avete creato! Equa vado alla parte finale.

La parte finale è che voi avete fatto l’errore più grave di tutti. Avete sfoga nato quello che in altri tempi avremmo chiamato il deep state, lo stato profondo, cioè lo stato dietro lo stato che prende decisioni senza legittimazione popolare. E questo state sono quelle che chiamate trust force, le unità operative che decidono autonomamente, chiedono uno scudo penale.

E la domanda vera che tutti ci dobbiamo porre, “Ma a queste persone che fanno queste unità operative che imputa?” Arrivano c’è chi ha un canale preferenziale con quella persona che sta a Londra. Può proporre di inserire qualche cosa nei decreti e il cittadino non lo saprà mai. Allora nel momento in cui il potere esecutivo delega ad uno stato culto a un deep state l’esecuzione di procedimenti e provvedimenti che a detta del governo cambieranno la vita degli italiani.

Io credo che la parola complottista non la potete più usare perché siete voi il complotto! Siete voi che avete sdoganato questa pratica che è il peggio della democrazia, ma ..

[Here the president of the Senate rings the bell indicating the speaker is about to use up his time]

  .. che purtroppo .. Chiudere con l’ultima frase che purtroppo è nel pieno progetto di uno dei fondatori del partito del maggiore, partito che c’è qua dentro per il quale la democrazia doveva essere sostituita da un’altra cosa, perché il parlamento era superato e le decisioni le prendeva la rete nella sua collettività!

Bene questa non è democrazia!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF TRANSCRIPT

This is the first time in seven and a half years that I show up with a written speech and it worries me too, so I would like to start from here because: because everything that has happened since the declaration of the state of emergency deserves to be told, put well in line, i.e. all the facts should be put well in line carefully observed.

And before proceeding with this narration, however, I would like to point out one thing, however, that is, you might not think that for having written without prejudice in previous DCPMs, these are suddenly elevated to the rank of the primary norm, that is, to have the power to modify other laws, it becomes a law, no, because if you think this, you are thinking wrongly.

Having said that, let’s see this narrative, this story, this ‘what happened? I would start from the first phase that I could call the preliminary phase: a pre-crisis period when we were still commenting on the videos of what was happening in other real or false parts of the world, whether they were in that period. As it rightly is, everyone had his or her opinion on how it should have proceeded if the thing had happened in Italy.

And also in the medical environment, in the environment of specialists who don’t even have the truth in their pockets, as our TV immunologist teaches, that to every question always answers, “I don’t know this thing, but no one else does”. I mean, imagine in a university exam if the student in front of each question said, “I don’t know this thing, but no one else does”, I would say, “Look. So do one thing: come back next time when you know what I’m asking, not when you want to talk about it!”

Well, these people had a plurality of opinions. This plurality of opinions in phase 1, the very phase in which we entered into the medium stress phase, has now disappeared, i.e. at this point the categories that were most exposed mediatically, i.e. medical environment, researcher environment, political environment, information environment all started singing the same music, the same mass, that is, it has become a kind of single national thought and this what has become, has become, a race to catastrophe, that is who made it bigger, it had as a side effect: fear, that is, the Italians were scared also because you placed them at home with the television that at times served them badly.

I really want to use the expression memorize, not crucify, because Mr. Messmer in this case could say something and then a very human attitude has made, yes, that the fear of those who spoke has become the fear of everyone, that is the fear of the politician to burn if he made the wrong decision, that of the living-room immunologist who said the wrong thing at that time that then occurred as wrong afterwards.

Or that reporter who was getting hits by carrying on a news story that wasn’t with the good news, if they would be burned. So everyone aimed at their own preservation and this, in my opinion, was the first mistake — it’s not bigger but the first — because whoever exercises the power that is the power of information or is the power of health or is the power of politics can’t afford this lack of professionalism, can’t afford that their fear becomes the fear of someone else, and so on the basis of fear you practically put a leash and muzzle on this one, on the citizens. an apparently virtual leash, not more than 200 meters from home, but which became a real chain.

For what has happened is that people are afraid to leave the house. People started to be afraid of everything.

And here the second is the biggest mistake including people who had a law enforcement uniform. What practically happened, you made out of the fourth wall, a breach in the fourth wall of democracy, you made policeman deaf,  what is very unprofessionally exercised in the role of policeman, wearing the uniform of policeman, and then we saw absurd things. We saw that the town hall according to crazy ordinances ordered the opening of people’s grocery bags to check if the expenditure was consistent with the ordinance! which said that you had to spend more than 50 euros! But the government should have told these people that this is a personal search also requires a permit or a receipt, but not even the Guardia di Finanza can ask you for the receipt anymore. You can, you can ask for proof of purchase but you can’t check how much you spent and so ‘what is the amount?’ and ‘what did you buy?’ and this has not been said!

You should have taken these people to take, the mayors and say, “Dear mayor since the government has taken over the management, all the more restrictive ordinances are automatically void!” And it came out the ruling of the Council of State that said what the Mayor of Messina did is madness, “and therefore there has to be censored this order, to drop this makes constitutional sense.”

But of course no one said anything. Perhaps there were more convenient measures and you people feel that you learn in vain! I don’t think it suits anyone that people are afraid of the police forces that in most cases have behaved professionally and in a few cases — but unfortunately in this, such a situation of the repression of constitutional rights, it is also not allowed to those who exercise power: it is not allowed, not only to cross the line, but not even to try to move it in this situation!

It had to be made clear that lack of professionalism was not admissible, that one had to have perfect knowledge of the rules, for example, that one could not impose self-certification. The law gives the right to self-certify, not the obligation!

I cannot be forced unless there is a regulatory measure that changes the Law 44 3 445 of 2000. I cannot be forced to certify, let alone certify my state of health! This is expressly prohibited by Article 49 of that law!

Well what happened after that? after that of course in an imperfect system. Where the internet also exists. Other confirmed news began to circulate, things like, “But in other countries they don’t do this!”, or blatantly misleading newspaper articles, like a 30-year-old boy, the youngest died of coronavirus! and then in small letters, “He was in a coma for three years and irreversibly so, and had been shot in the head.” That’s journalism! This information is not! But then someone started to point it out to me, and then the Single Ministry of Truth, which I could call the National Unique Truth Keeper, was triggered. The one who decides what is right, what is not right, what should be removed, what should be censored — and thus..

So what happened? What happened was that Nobel prize-winning interviews were removed and delegitimized! Ha! Now he is old! or to the world’s greatest virologist — to say that he holds 5% of all world citations in this, in this, in this field — “You see for me, who am really a man of science, because mathematics modestly speaking is the only exact science for 4000 years, I say that since the scientific community dumped a person then what he says is not valid!” It’s a bit like saying, “I don’t agree with Newton’s gravitation theory, so you apple, aim now to go back up into the tree!” “Because since I dumped you, your statements are no longer valid!”

A doctor dumped from the Order of Docors, is no longer a doctor. He no longer has, no longer knows anything, and we can go on forever on our own path!

Then ,this is what you have created! I’m going to the final part.

The final part is that you’ve made the biggest mistake of all. You have given vent to what in other times we would have called the deep state, the state behind the state, that makes decisions without popular legitimacy. And this state is what you call a trust force, the operational units that decide autonomously, asking for a criminal immunity for themselves.

And the real question that we all have to ask ourselves, “What about these people who make these task forces that are charged with ruling?” There are those who have a preferential channel to that person in London. He can propose to put something in the decrees and the public will never know it. So at the moment the executive power os delegating to the deep state the execution of proceedings and measures that according to the government will change the lives of Italians for ever.

I believe that you can no longer use the word conspiracy theorist, because you are the conspiracy! It is you who have declared this practice, which is the worst of democracy, but …

[Here the president of the Senate rings the bell
indicating the speaker is about to use up his time]

  .. which unfortunately .. I close with the last sentence that unfortunately is in the declared project of one of the founders of the party of the majority, the party that is in here, for which democracy had to be replaced by something else, because the parliament was outdated and decisions are to be made by the network of his friends!

Well, that’s not democracy!
