Italy denies use of Sicily airbase to US planes carrying weapons for Iran war
Defence ministry says US failed to request authorisation in time for parliament to give approval as required by international treaty
Italy has denied the use of an airbase in Sicily to US military planes carrying weapons for the war in Iran after the US did not follow the required authorisation procedure.
A source at the Italian defence ministry confirmed a report in Corriere della Sera that "some US bombers" had been due to land at Sigonella - one of seven US navy bases in Italy - before heading to the Middle East, but that use of the base had been denied because the US sought authorisation to land only while the aircraft were already en route to Sicily.
The source said this meant there was not enough time to seek approval in parliament, as is required for aircraft landing on naval bases with weapons.
According to treaties established in the late 1950s, the US navy bases can be used for logistical and training purposes but not as transit hubs for aircraft used to transport weapons for war unless in an emergency situation.
The office of Italy's far-right prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, issued a statement on Tuesday denying that the move - which comes a day after Spain ramped up its opposition to the US-Israeli war on Iran by closing its airspace to US aircraft involved in attacks - had caused "critical issues or frictions" with international partners, and said relations with the US were "solid and based on full and loyal cooperation".
In another sign of rising tensions between the US and some European countries, Donald Trump criticised France on Tuesday because it "wouldn't let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory", writing on his Truth Social account that the country had been "VERY UNHELPFUL".
Regarding the use of its military bases, the statement from Meloni's office said Italy was "acting in full compliance with existing international agreements" and parliamentary procedures and that each request was "carefully examined on a case-by-case basis, as has always been the case in the past".
In Italy, where there is a deep-rooted anti-war culture, opinion polls consistently show very strong opposition to the conflict and strong dislike towards Trump. The unpopularity of Trump in Italy has also started to erode the popularity of Meloni, who is ideologically in tune with the US president and has established good working relations with him.
Opposition parties have for weeks been urging the government to block the US from using Italy's bases for involvement in the Middle East conflict.
Giuseppe Conte, leader of the Five Star Movement, said Italy had "a duty" to deny the US bombers access to Sigonella and now needed to "take a further step" and deny the logistical support offered at all the country's bases since the US-Israeli conflict in Iran was being carried out "in clear violation of international law".
Earlier this month, Meloni strongly criticised the US-Israeli military strikes, telling parliament that it was part of a growing and dangerous trend of interventions "outside the scope of international law".
At the same time, she said "we cannot afford a regime of ayatollahs in possession of nuclear weapons combined with a missile capacity" that could threaten Italy and Europe. Meloni has said several times that Italy would not enter the war, although the country has provided defensive assets to Gulf countries.
Anger in Sicily has been swirling for weeks owing to increased activity at the Sigonella base since the start of the conflict, and especially after the US navy shared a photo on its Instagram account earlier this month showing a US military helicopter landing at the Unesco-listed Madonie natural park close to Palermo during a training exercise.
"Sicily does not want and will not contribute to any war," said Nuccio Di Paola, a Five Star Movement politician in Sicily. "Sicily is a land of peace and must remain so ... we cannot allow Sicilians to be put at risk because of our country's subservience to other countries."

...This isn't just a criminal hoax, it's literally treason...This is all established fact now, but you may recall that when we reported it at the time, we were called conspiracy theorists...
According to a new report from independent journalists Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibi, and Alex Gutentag, the Central Intelligence Agency was directly involved in the coup against Donald Trump's presidency-before he was even elected. The report details how the former head of the CIA, the reptile John Brennan, came up with specific targets for members of the world's intelligence agencies to investigate and, ultimately, sabotage.
With help from the CIA, the US intelligence...identified 26 of President Trump's associates as potential targets to "bump," which means to contact and possibly manipulate. The web of treason spread around the world, with members of the "Five Eyes"-the English-speaking nations of the world, the US, Canada, England, Australia and New Zealand-making contact with Trump's associates all the way back in March of 2016-months before the election. This included agents working in the UK, Australia, Italy-even Mossad agents MI6, which allegedly set up wiretapping operations against Trump.

NATO's Ukraine strategy has failed - ex-Italian PM
Western efforts to arm Kiev and break the Russian economy are getting nowhere, Giuseppe Conte has said
NATO's attempts to inflict defeat on Russia in the Ukraine conflict have completely missed their mark as Moscow continues to stand tall amid Kiev's faltering counteroffensive and Western sanctions, former Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said on Saturday.
Writing on Facebook, Conte, who leads the Five Star Movement party, noted that the year and a half of hostilities between Moscow and Kiev had shown that it was time to "put aside the optimistic assessments... fueled by a superficial as well as deafening war propaganda" in the West.
The strategy of the US-led military block, which has so far hinged on massive military aid to Kiev and the "logic of escalation," has failed to bring about the much-hoped-for demise of the Russian military, Conte said. He recalled that Ukraine never managed to push Russian forces back from Artyomovsk (known as Bakhmut in Ukraine), a key Donbass stronghold that Russia captured in May after months of fierce fighting.
"There has been no disintegration of [Russia's] military and paramilitary departments, there has been no retreat due to the Ukrainian counteroffensive," the ex-prime minister stressed, adding that Western hopes for domestic political turmoil in the country also failed to materialize.
Meanwhile, the harsh sanctions imposed by the West on Russia "have not bankrupted it or crippled its economy," Conte continued, noting that the long-stated goal of isolating Moscow "has by no means been achieved."
To underscore his point, the politician pointed to the recent BRICS summit - Russia is a member of the group - which ended with an unprecedented expansion of the group.
In addition to this, Conte claimed that the Ukraine conflict "has exposed the EU's inability to develop an effective common strategy and to express autonomous political and economic leadership." Instead, it has become yet another indicator of thebloc's kowtowing to the US.
Conte's comments come as the Ukrainian counteroffensive has failed to gain any significant ground despite more than two months of fighting. According to Moscow, Kiev has lost more than 43,000 service members and nearly 5,000 pieces of military equipment since the start of the push.
The former Italian prime minister, who held the office from 2018 to 2021, has in the past repeatedly called for peace talks between the belligerents in Ukraine while opposing further arms deliveries to Kiev, warning of a potential escalation.

Italy's Meloni To Pull Trigger On Belt & Road Exit In Major Blow To China
The government of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is readying plans to pull the trigger on a formal exit from China's controversial Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), estimated at having funded $900 billion in infrastructure projects globally.
The past weeks have seen increasing reports that Meloni's Brothers of Italy party has been spearheading a move away from the BRI, though some within the broader center-right coalition unity government have been on the fence. Bloomberg now reports Tuesday that "Italy has signaled to the US that it intends to pull out of a controversial investment pact with China before the end of the year."
"Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reassured US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy during a meeting in Rome last week that while a final decision hasn't been taken, her government is favoring an exit from its role in China's massive Belt and Road Initiative, according to people present at the talks," Bloomberg continues. Neither the Italian nor US administrations have yet to give public comment or confirmation to the report.
But Rome could also be hesitant over economic retaliation from Beijing. Ratcheting the pressure over the decision is the European Union's previewing a new package of trade restrictions meant to "punish" China.
As the FT reported Sunday, "Brussels has proposed sanctions on Chinese companies for supporting Russia's war machine for the first time since the war in Ukraine began, a development that is likely to increase tensions with Beijing."
The list includes a couple mainland Chinese companies - 3HC Semiconductors and King-Pai Technology, as well as five Hong Kong-based firms: Sigma Technology, Asia Pacific Links, Sinno Electronics, Tordan Industry, and Alpha Trading Investments. However, the sanctions package still needs approval by all 27 EU member states to take effect.
An Italy pullout of the BRI would be a significant and also hugely symbolic blow to Beijing, given Italy had been the very first G-7 country became part of the controversial Chinese initiative, crucial to Xi's vision for Chinese global expansion. Italy had formally signed on under then Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte. It's widely perceived that this triggered greater Washington engagement with Rome, in order to steer the country away from Chinese influence.
According to analysis cited in earlier Bloomberg reporting from last month:
"Italy is stuck between a rock and a hard place, and what to do with the cooperation pact is a real diplomatic conundrum for Meloni," Francesca Ghiretti, an analyst at the Mercator Institute for China Studies research company, said in an interview.

Italian lawmakers creating new faction amid rift over arming Kiev
Supporters of Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio, who used to chair the ruling Five Star Movement (M5S) have started collecting signatures in both houses of Parliament on Tuesday, Italian broadcaster RaiNews24 reported.
The supporters of the country's top diplomat are gathering signatures in a bid to establish more blocs in parliament amid disagreements over further arms supplies to Kiev.
Establishing a new group in parliament requires the consent of at least 20 lawmakers in the lower house and at least 10 lawmakers in the upper house.
Di Maio's supporters may be able to create such groups in both houses, meaning the minister and his close associates would de facto leave the M5S.
The parties involved in the matter are planning on calling their new group "Insieme per il futuro", which means "Together for the Future" in Italian, local newspaper Il Foglio reported.
Media reported on Sunday that the M5S appeared to be split over whether to continue sending weaponry to Ukraine, with the Italian upper house heading into a shutdown this week.
The parliament was leaning toward voting on an M5S resolution, proposed by leader Giuseppe Conte on Tuesday that recommended ending Rome's arms deliveries to Kiev to avert any damage that could be done to the prospect of peace.
The proposal put Conte on a collision course with Di Maio, who accused his own party on Sunday of immaturity and undermining national security, La Repubblica daily said.
The criticism reportedly provoked a response from M5S vice-presidents Riccardo Ricciardi and Michele Gubitosa, who hinted at their desire that Di Maio leaves the party.
Throughout the last two days, there have been several meetings between the representatives of all parties in Rome in a bid to reach a consensus on a parliamentary resolution regarding Ukraine.
Parliament had adopted in March a resolution that granted Prime Minister Mario Draghi the authority to provide comprehensive support to Ukraine, which includes sending arms to Kiev.
Draghi, alongside the leaders of France and Germany, headed to Kiev by train overnight Wednesday, seeking to voice their support for Ukraine.
The three leaders met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and reaffirmed their support for Kiev.

Italian parliament dissolved
The move paves the way for fresh elections, after Prime Minister Mario Draghi resigned
Italy is facing a general election after President Sergio Mattarella dissolved parliament on Thursday. Prime Minister Mario Draghi resigned hours earlier, after three of his coalition partners boycotted a confidence vote.
Mattarella did not set a date for elections, but said that a vote must take place within 70 days, as per Italy's constitution.
His decision to dissolve parliament came after an attempt last week to keep Draghi in power. Draghi, who formerly led the European Central Bank, announced his resignation last Thursday after his largest coalition partners in the populist Five Star Movement withdrew their support from him, but Mattarella rejected his bid to quit.
Draghi was installed by Mattarellain 2021 to steer Italy through its post-pandemic recovery, and led a broad coalition government. However, three parties in this coalition boycotted a no-confidence vote in the Italian Senate on Wednesday, leaving the former banker without a mandate.
Italians were originally set to vote in general elections next year, but Mattarella said that he made the decision to hold an early vote as there was "no possibility" that Draghi could rally enough support to lead a government until then.
The Five Star Movement had persistently criticized Draghi over the rising cost of living in Italy, and demanded more state aid for families and small businesses. Its leader, Giuseppe Conte, also hammered Draghi over his policy of arming Ukraine, which has less public support in Italy than many other European countries.

The Vatican ties of Italy's new Prime Minister Mario Draghi
By Hannah Brockhaus
Vatican City, Feb 17, 2021 / 02:00 am
Mario Draghi, an economist and retired banker, was sworn in as prime minister of Italy on Saturday, after the previous government coalition collapsed when a party pulled its support for then prime minister Giuseppe Conte.
As President Sergio Mattarella's pick to form a new government, Draghi was an unexpected choice. But he was able to win enough support to form a new coalition, appointing a mix of technocrats and politicians to his cabinet.
Many in Italy hope that the 73-year-old Draghi, president of the European Central Bank from 2011 to 2019, can save the country's faltering economy. He is credited with saving the failing euro during the eurozone crisis, earning him the nickname "Super Mario."
Pope Francis signaled his approval for the economist in July 2020, when he named him as one of 26 ordinary academicians of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, which promotes the study of economic and political sciences to aid the development of the Church's social doctrine.
But Draghi, who has had private audiences and phone calls with Pope Francis, has been seen with favor from inside the Vatican for much longer.
The former banker, who described himself in 2015 as a"liberal socialist",was featured in a November 2019 article in the Jesuit periodical La Civilt? Cattolica, which is approved by the Secretariat of State and the Holy See before publication.
The article had high praise for Draghi, saying that he "emerges as a policymaker of the highest stature: to gratitude is added the hope that his way of proceeding without rhetoric, with in-depth analysis and vision, will be adopted in broader areas of both European and Italian politics."
Fr. Antonio Spadaro, S.J., La Civilt? Cattolica's editor-in-chief, told the Italian news agency AdnKronos in early February, before Draghi was confirmed as prime minister, that "the figure of Draghi was the protagonist of one of the most complex phases in the recent history of Europe."
Spadaro, seen to be close to Pope Francis, said that while a technocratic government was not ideal for Italy, it "could be a parenthesis intended as a moment of reflection" for the country before it returns to a political government.
Draghi's connections to theJesuitsbegin from childhood. He attended a Jesuit-run school in Rome, the Massimiliano Massimo Institute, from fourth grade through the third year of high school, an experience for which he has expressed "profound gratitude."
In a 2010 interview with Vatican Radio, he recalled "the dedication of the Jesuit fathers" and the moral standards that the school imparted.
"A message that expressed that things had to be done to the best of one's ability, that honesty was important, but above all that we were all special in some way. Not so much because we went to Massimo but because[we were] special as human persons," he said.
While serving as president of the Bank of Italy in 2009, Draghi wrote an op-ed for the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, in which he commented on Pope Benedict XVI's social encyclical "Caritas in Veritate."
The economic crisis "confirms the need for a relationship between ethics and economics," Draghi noted in the more than 1,000-word article. "Every economic decision has moral consequences. This is even more true in the era of globalization..."
"According to the Church's social doctrine, if the autonomy of economic discipline implies indifference to ethics, man is pushed to abuse the economic instrument," he said. "If it is no longer a means for achieving the ultimate goal the common good profit risks generating poverty."
The economist was also a featured speaker at the August 2020 Rimini Meeting, an annual gathering in Italy organized by the Catholic movement Communion and Liberation.
In 2019, he was given an honorary degree from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan.
At the awarding ceremony, university rector Franco Anelli called Draghi "the protagonist of an economy 'in action,' not just 'in the books.'"
And in his own speech, Draghi told students of the university that he hoped they would "put their skills to public service."
"There will be mistakes and retreats because the world is complex," he said. "However, I hope that you will be comforted by the fact that in history, decisions based on knowledge, courage, and humility have always shown their quality."

Italian Govt Faces Confidence Vote Wednesday That Could Bring Snap Elections
Italy could face a snap national election as Prime Minister Mario Draghi's government faces a vote of confidence on Wednesday after days of instability that have included his attempt to resign.
Prime Minister Draghi is expected to face a confidence vote in the Italian parliament on Wednesday after returning from a trip to Algeria on Monday and Tuesday to discuss issues regarding natural gas supplies.
The confidence vote comes just days after Draghi offered his resignation as prime minister to Italian President Sergio Mattarella after the Five Star Movement (M5S) abstained from a vote last week, leading to Draghi claiming that he could no longer govern sustainably.
"The majority of national unity that has supported this government since its creation is no longer there. The confidence pact behind government action has failed," Draghi said shortly before President Matarella rejected his resignation on Friday.
However, according to a report from broadcaster France24, Draghi will only have until Wednesday to garner enough support to avoid a snap election, something several parties on the right now openly support, including League leader Matteo Salvini and Brother of Italy (FdI) leader Giorgia Meloni.
In order to avoid a new election, Prime Minister Draghi may be forced to bow to pressure from M5S leader and former Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, who has called on Draghi to enact party policy priorities.
"We cannot share the responsibility of government if there is no certainty over the issues that we have underlined," Conte said over the weekend.
Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, head of the centre-right Forza Italia party, has rejected the idea of keeping Conte and the M5S in the national coalition, claiming that there cannot be government stability if the Five stars are in the coalition.
According to a report from the newspaper Il Giornale, Berlusconi and his party are adamant that the Five Star Movement be excluded from the national coalition or they will support a new national election.
"The solution is: either a Draghi government without the Five Stars or you go to vote," Forza Italia member and former European Parliament President Antonio Tajani said.
"The position of Forza Italia has been clear since the beginning of this crisis: we ask for stability for the country to face the many emergencies with which we live. You cannot have stability with the Five Star Movement in government. The solution is either a Draghi government without the Five Stars, without Conte, or we go to vote," he added.

Italian PM Draghi is stepping down
Mario Draghi won a confidence vote, but lost his coalition partners
Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi announced on Thursday that he would resign. Draghi survived a confidence vote despite his coalition partners in the Five Star Movement abstaining, but said he would step down after meeting with President Sergio Mattarella.
The former European Central Bank chief had led a coalition government since last February, but as of late faced persistent criticism from Five Star Movement leader Giuseppe Conte over the rising cost of living.
While Draghi's coalition drew members from both left and right, the Italian premier had said that he would not stay on without the support of Conte's party. Although he comfortably won the confidence vote even without the participation of Five Star lawmakers, he met with Mattarella immediately afterwards.
"I have always said that this executive would only go forward if there was a clear prospect of being able to carry out the government program on which the political forces had voted their confidence," he said. "This compactness was fundamental to face the challenges of these months. These conditions no longer exist."
Draghi is the second G7 leader to resign in short succession, after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced last week that he would step down, amid personal scandals and a similarly grim economic outlook.
While the Five Star Movement began as the largest partner in Draghi's coalition, it was later split over his policies. Conte has spoken out against Draghi's arming of Ukraine and military spending hikes, while former foreign minister Luigi DiMaio has left Conte's party to form a new faction loyal to Draghi.
DiMaio has accused Conte of withdrawing his support from Draghi in a bid to bring the government down and solidify his own support. Centrist Senator Antonio Saccone, an ally of Draghi, declared on Thursday that Conte's party was "doing a favor to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin" by abstaining from the vote.
Prior to Draghi's announcement, a general election had been scheduled for next year. However, snap elections may now be called in autumn.

The Italian government is close to collapse after the 5-Star Movement said it would boycott a crucial confidence vote in parliament, prompting calls for early elections.
Giuseppe Conte, the former prime minister who leads the populist party, said the funds set aside for a cost of living support package were insufficient and that his senators could not support the bill on Thursday.
"The scenario has changed, we need a different phase," he told reporters after failing to reach a compromise during talks with the incumbent prime minister Mario Draghi earlier on Wednesday.

Mario Draghi OMRI (Italian: [?ma?rjo ?dra??i]; born 3 September 1947) is an Italian economist, banker, academic and civil servant who has been Prime Minister of Italy since 13 February 2021.[1][2] He previously served asPresident of the European Central Bank(ECB) from 2011 until 2019. Draghi was alsoChair of the Financial Stability Boardfrom 2009 to 2011 andGovernor of the Bank of Italyfrom 2006 to 2011.[3]
After a lengthy career as an academic economist in Italy, Draghiworked for the World Bank in Washington, D.C., throughout the 1980s, and in 1991 returned to Rome to becomeDirector General of the Italian Treasury. He left that role after a decade to joinGoldman Sachs, where he remained until his appointment asGovernor of the Bank of Italyin 2006. His tenure as Governor coincided with the 2008 Great Recession, and in the midst of this he was selected to become the first Chair of the Financial Stability Board, the global standard-setter that replaced the Financial Stability Forum.
He left those roles after his nomination by the European Council in 2011 to serve asPresident of the ECB. He presided over the institution during the Eurozone crisis, becoming famous throughout Europe for saying that he would be prepared to do "whatever it takes" to prevent the euro from failing.[4] In 2014,Draghi was listed by Forbes magazine as the eighth-most powerful person in the world. In 2015, Fortune magazine ranked him as the world's "second greatest leader".[5] He is also the only Italian to be listed three times in the Time 100 annual listicle.[6] In 2021,Politico Europe ranked him as the most powerful person in Europe.[7] In 2019, Paul Krugman described him as "the greatest central banker of modern times."[8] Moreover, thanks to his monetary policies, he is widely considered the "saviour of the euro" during the European debt crisis.[9][10][11] He has been nicknamed Super Mario by some media, a nickname that was popularised during his time as President of the ECB, when he was credited by numerous sources as having played a key role in combatting the Eurozone crisis.[12][13]
After Draghi's term as ECB President ended in 2019, he initially returned to private life. On 3 February 2021, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Draghi was invited by Italian President Sergio Mattarella to form a government of national unity, following the resignation of Giuseppe Conte.[14][15][16] After successful negotiations with parties including the League, the Five Star Movement, the Democratic Party and Forza Italia, Draghi was sworn in asPrime Ministeron 13 February,[17] pledging to oversee effective implementation of COVID-19 economic stimulus.[18]

Roberto Speranza is the Italian politician of the Chamber of Deputies who served as national secretary of Article One. He also served as the Minister of Health since 2019 under the government of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and was later confirmed by Prime Minister Mario Draghi. During his tenure, he was in charge of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He has resigned saying:
"I'm done in order to impose leftist culture".
Speranza has said he is ashamed that the lockdowns have been akin to Stalinism. Mario Draghi, who took Europe to negative interest rates and destroyed the European Bond market, is trying to crush Italy into a leftist government where the EU is in total control. They have undermined the free markets and cannot repair the European economy. Raising rates would blow up the European Central Bank and unravel the EU framework.

The politician blasted Gates, the second-richest man in the world, for meddling in "global politics" while alleging he is playing a sinister role in the coronavirus pandemic.
During a blistering speech on the floor of the national parliament, Cunial slammed Italian President Giuseppe Conte, accusing him of teaming up with Gates in a "global coup."
"The real goal of all of this is total control," Cunial declared.
"Absolute dominion over all people, who will be transformed into guinea pigs and slaves who have no sovereignty and free will."
"We, the people, will build the fires of resistance to such an extent it will not be possible to repress all of us," Cunial declared before parliament.
"I ask you, leader (of parliament), to be our spokesperson who will give advice to President Conte: Next time you receive a phone call from the 'philanthropist' Bill Gates, forward it directly to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
"If you won't do this for us, tell us how we should define you, the 'friendly lawyer' who takes orders from a criminal."
"The Italian contribution to the International Alliance Against Coronavirus will be 140 million Euros, of which 120 million will be given to GAVI Alliance, a 'nonprofit' created by the Gates Foundation," the MP added.
"This is just part of the 7.4 billion received by the EU to 'find a vaccine' against coronavirus - vaccines which, as I said - will be used by Gates."
"You take away our freedom and say that we asked for it. Divide and conquer," she added.

Italy: Social Security Chief Proposes Expanding Basic Income to All Immigrants
The head of Italy's social security entity has been criticised for calling to extend the basic income initiative to include migrants who have been in the country for less than ten years.
President of the Istituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale (INPS) Pasquale Tridico spoke to Italian media this week about his desire to expand the citizens' income policy proposed by the Five Star Movement (M5S) in the first government headed by former Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
"The income benefit has a ten-year residence requirement in Italy. This seems excessive to me and does not exist in any other European country," Tridico said, according to Il Giornale, and called for an increase of the money given based on the size of families.
Currently, Italians, EU citizens, or legal immigrants who have lived in the country for at least ten years are eligible for the citizens' income, so long as household income does not exceed ?9,360 ($11,040/£8,000).
Criticism came immediately from members of the centre-right coalition, such as populist Senator Matteo Salvini who called the idea "absurd" and demanded that the government help Italians facing difficulties first.
National-conservative Brothers of Italy (FdI) leader Giorgia Meloni also criticised the proposal, saying that "this would be yet another absurdity of a measure already totally insufficient to save our businesses on their knees".
Senator Anna Maria Berini, a member of Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia, called it "a nonsensical and inappropriate proposal, because this only feeds new social conflicts while we are in such a dramatic situation, with millions of Italians plunged into poverty due to the pandemic crisis."
The Wuhan coronavirus pandemic has had a major impact on businesses in Italy, with the nation's gross national product (GDP) shrinking by 8.9 per cent in 2020, down to the same level as 23 years ago.
Last month, a member of Milan's Gastronomy Association estimated that up to 60 per cent of the restaurants and bars in Italy's second-largest city could permanently close due to the lockdown restrictions implemented to combat the pandemic.

Franzoni's new shot: "For covid patients, organs are harvested for the black market". But the video is from 2014 | VIDEO
On WhatsApp, a video in which Nicola Franzoni, a well-known denialist, comes out with yet another lie: "For covid patients, organs are harvested for the black market". Meanwhile, his former employees, after being left at home, claim the money they are owed
"The trafficking of organs on the sick covid! Conte, begin to explain where the organs of the dead end up. You remove the organs from the Italians, huh? ". The latest delusional conspiracy theory on the coronavirus, which hypothesizes that the sick are harvested organs to enter the black market traffic, has the signature of Nicola Franzoni . Those who attend Iene.it know him well: in the past we have told of his bankruptcy "march on Rome" , of his numerous complaints from Digos and those from his employees .
The latter shot in recent days has ended up on the WhatsApp of many Italians, and in the video above you can see bodies in a row to which, according to the narrator of Franzoni who addresses directly to Giuseppe Conte to "tell the truth to the Italians", would come organs removed. In addition to the absurdity of the thesis, the video is easily disassembled . It has been circulating at least since 2014 in Russian networks, where at the time it was titled "morgue in Japan". So nothing to do with the coronavirus.
Nicola Franzoni is known for his conspiracy and denial theories . A few months ago he first rose to honors for denying the existence of the covid, downgraded to "trivial flu" , at the demonstration of the orange vests. Then for having urinated live Facebook outside the presidency of the Council, as we promptly showed you , which earned him a series of complaints, including insult to the Republic.
What few people know, however, are his problems with the employees of his premises in Marina di Massa. Giulia Innocenzi, in the video you can see above, spoke with two of them . The complaint is serious: Franzoni would have left the cook at home after she had contracted the coronavirus. "At the time I had the coronavirus, Mr. Franzoni fired me , because I did damage to his company," explains the employee, who does not want to reveal her identity, to Innocenzi. "According to him, since I had taken the covid, people were afraid to enterin his room. But how, you are the first to say that covid does not exist, what do you have to be afraid of? ". The cook had a really bad time:" I had bilateral pneumonia, that's why they hospitalized me for 22 days for infectious diseases in Massa ". And Franzoni?" When I learned that I was positive, I called him: 'Nicola, I am positive for covid ". And he: 'but so much does not exist' . Then when the ASL arrived, because I had to declare where I worked, he disappeared ".
In contact with the cook there was the boy who took care of the hookah, an asylum seeker who comes from Libya and who also asked us to remain anonymous. After discovering that the cook was positive for covid, he did 15 days at home and two swabs, both of which tested negative. After the quarantine, however, Franzoni also leaves him at home, thus preventing him from continuing to send money to Libya, to his family. According to the two former employees, Franzoni owes them some money, which they are now demanding. The direct question, spoke by phone from Innocenzi, he says: "I have not left home no , this company was not mine, I do not know anything … I trivial, stupid things. I'm sick of these things, bye! ", and shuts the phone. Maybe he was busy building a new conspiracy video.

Mario Draghi goes to Italy's bedside and promises radical remedies
1 Hour Ago
ITALY. Mario Draghi, who was sworn in on Saturday, February 13, 2021, after being designated by the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella on Wednesday, February 3, 2021, to form a new government, presented his program on Wednesday, February 17 before the Senate. He will appear before the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, February 18.
Aged seventy-three, the successor of Giuseppe Conte, who resigned after being dropped by his coalition allies, has set himself two objectives. "The main duty to which we are all called, and I in the first place as President of the Council, is to fight by all means the pandemic and to save the lives of our citizens". He also commits himself to "carry out radical reforms." He does not deprive himself of a historical reference to define the immensity and importance of his role: "Like the governments of the immediate post-war period, we have the responsibility to launch a new reconstruction (…) This is our mission as Italians: to leave a better and fairer country for our children and grandchildren."
The first in Europe to be confronted with Covid-19, Italy has recorded 2.73 million confirmed cases for 94,171 deaths according to the CSSE of Johns Hopkins University. It is the eighth most affected country in the world by the pandemic and the third in Europe and the Mediterranean behind France (3.54 million cases) and Spain (3.09 million) and ahead of Turkey (2.60 million). Its first major decision Sunday evening, February 14, 2021 was also, in view of the deteriorating health situation with the British variant, not to allow the reopening of ski resorts in areas classified in yellow (a dozen regions where the epidemic is least active) scheduled for Monday, February 15, 2021, so a few hours later. A ban extended until March 5, 2021.
A conditional European envelope of 210 bn?
With a GDP in 2020 down 8.9% (and still down 2% at the end of January 2021 compared to December 2020), Italy urgently needs to turn its finances around. Rome is relying heavily on the planned ?210 billion windfall from the European Union. But to do so, it will have to present a detailed spending plan to the European Commission in Brussels at the end of April 2021, which will condition the release of aid.
The new Prime Minister has decided to place Daniele Franco, number two at the Bank of Italy, in the post of Minister of the Economy to manage all this.
At the end of 2020, Italy's cumulative debt reached ?2,600 billion (158% of GDP). Only Greece (over 200% of GDP according to the IMF) has a higher ratio among the 27 member states. It is one of the highest in the world.
The situation is at its worst for the third economy of the euro zone and the 59.64 million Italians. With the loss of 400,000 jobs in 2020 and an unemployment rate of 9% at the end of January 2021. It has been on the rise since December 2020 after four consecutive months of decline. A decline in trompe l'oeil according to the National Institute of Statistics (Istat) which attributes it to the fact that many Italians were no longer looking for work due to the closure of many companies during the confinement.
Almost total political support from the parties
Mario Draghi enjoys the support of almost all of the major political parties from Luigi di Maio (5 Star Movement - former anti-Systemic) promoted to Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the bubbling Matteo Salvini (far-right League) who brings one of his lieutenants, Giancarlo Giorgetti, into the Labor portfolio. Only one party was missing to achieve unanimity: Giogia Meloni's Italian Brothers (far right). He should therefore have no difficulty in obtaining the confidence of both the Senate (Wednesday evening, February 17) and the Chamber of Deputies (Thursday, February 18).
The former president of the European Central Bank - nicknamed "Super Mario" after having brought the euro to the brink of collapse during the debt crisis in the zone in 2012 - will also have to tackle fundamental projects that have fallen behind, such as reforming the bureaucracy-ridden administration or launching the ecological transition. The priorities are "renewable energies, the fight against air and water pollution, high-speed trains, hydrogen production and distribution, digitization and 5G".

The Vatican ties of Italy's new Prime Minister Mario Draghi
By Hannah Brockhaus Vatican City,Feb 17, 2021/ 02:00 am MT (CNA)
Mario Draghi, an economist and retired banker, was sworn in as prime minister of Italy on Saturday, after the previous government coalition collapsed when a party pulled its support for then prime minister Giuseppe Conte.
As President Sergio Mattarella's pick to form a new government, Draghi was an unexpected choice. But he was able to win enough support to form a new coalition, appointing a mix of technocrats and politicians to his cabinet.
Many in Italy hope that the 73-year-old Draghi, president of the European Central Bank from 2011 to 2019, can save the country's faltering economy. He is credited with saving the failing euro during the eurozone crisis, earning him the nickname "Super Mario."
Pope Francis signaled his approval for the economist in July 2020, when he named him as one of 26 ordinary academicians of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, which promotes the study of economic and political sciences to aid the development of the Church's social doctrine. But Draghi, who has had private audiences and phone calls with Pope Francis, has been seen with favor from inside the Vatican for much longer.
The former banker, who described himself in 2015 as a "liberal socialist," was featured in a November 2019 article in the Jesuit periodical La Civiltà Cattolica, which is approved by the Secretariat of State and the Holy See before publication. The article had high praise for Draghi, saying that he "emerges as a policymaker of the highest stature: to gratitude is added the hope that his way of proceeding without rhetoric, with in-depth analysis and vision, will be adopted in broader areas of both European and Italian politics."
Fr. Antonio Spadaro, S.J., La Civiltà Cattolica's editor-in-chief, told the Italian news agency AdnKronos in early February, before Draghi was confirmed as prime minister, that "the figure of Draghi was the protagonist of one of the most complex phases in the recent history of Europe." Spadaro, seen to be close to Pope Francis, said that while a technocratic government was not ideal for Italy, it "could be a parenthesis intended as a moment of reflection" for the country before it returns to a political government.
Draghi's connections to the Jesuits begin from childhood. He attended a Jesuit-run school in Rome, the Massimiliano Massimo Institute, from fourth grade through the third year of high school, an experience for which he has expressed "profound gratitude." In a 2010 interview with Vatican Radio, he recalled "the dedication of the Jesuit fathers" and the moral standards that the school imparted.
"A message that expressed that things had to be done to the best of one's ability, that honesty was important, but above all that we were all special in some way. Not so much because we went to Massimo but because [we were] special as human persons," he said.
While serving as president of the Bank of Italy in 2009, Draghi wrote an op-ed for the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, in which he commented on Pope Benedict XVI's social encyclical "Caritas in Veritate."
The economic crisis "confirms the need for a relationship between ethics and economics," Draghi noted in the more than 1,000-word article. "Every economic decision has moral consequences. This is even more true in the era of globalization..." "According to the Church's social doctrine, if the autonomy of economic discipline implies indifference to ethics, man is pushed to abuse the economic instrument," he said. "If it is no longer a means for achieving the ultimate goal the common good profit risks generating poverty."
The economist was also a featured speaker at the August 2020 Rimini Meeting, an annual gathering in Italy organized by the Catholic movement Communion and Liberation.In 2019, he was given an honorary degree from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan. At the awarding ceremony, university rector Franco Anelli called Draghi "the protagonist of an economy 'in action,' not just 'in the books.'"
And in his own speech, Draghi told students of the university that he hoped they would "put their skills to public service."
"There will be mistakes and retreats because the world is complex," he said. "However, I hope that you will be comforted by the fact that in history, decisions based on knowledge, courage, and humility have always shown their quality."

Former Rivals Agree On Draghi To Lead Apolitical "Unity" Government In Italy
It has been nearly a week since former ECB President Mario Draghi accepted Italian President Sergio Mattarella's urgent request to form a new government of national unity after Italy's ruling coalition collapsed in a heap of acrimony.
This followed almost two years of being led by former law professor PM Giuseppe Conte, whose rule received plaudits from international technocrats, even as his colleagues in the parliament grew increasingly irritated, finally forcing Conte to resign late last month.
Conte's departure, and the collapse of yet another Italian government, clearly made the international neoliberal cabal anxious: should Italian lawmakers fail to agree, they worried, it could further destabilize Europe. So they hatched a plan: They would install former ECB President Mario Draghi to lead Europe's third-largest economy (despite being the archetypal "Davos Man", Draghi is still Italian after all) until the next scheduled election in 2023.
Offering some insight into just how terrified Italy's political parties have become of being blamed for the crash, the FT reported Monday that both the Five Star Movement and the League, formerly two partners in a ruling coalition, are pledging their support for Draghi, even after the Five Star slammed Draghi as a member of the "establishment" (akin to being labeled as a capitalist during the cultural revolution). Meanwhile, the League (Italy's right-wing anti-establishment and euroskeptic), has flirted with backing Draghi. League leader Matteo Salvini has said he would walk away if Five Star also backed Draghi has been an economist and a bureaucrat for his entire career, and thus has no history in electoral politics. But he still has a pretty strong reputation for his leadership of the ECB during the European debt crisis nearly a decade ago.
Five Star was founded by comedian Beppe Grillo, who - though he has been barred from running for office - retains an almost reverent appeal for many Italians. Although Salvini was the first to sign on, saying his party, the League, might be open to backing Draghi (Five Star's leaders initially ruled it out), he might have trouble following through with his promise for political reasons, as one professor explained to the FT.
Matteo Ricci, a former deputy leader of the Democratic party, said that the shift to supporting Draghi would be easier for the Five Star Movement than for the League, which has until recently remained far more hostile to Brussels.
"Over the years the Five Star Movement made a pro-European choice, the League has never made this choice," he said.
"Salvini's past with Le Pen and the other European sovereigntists speaks for itself."
Though the new unity government's membership has yet to be decided, it's looking increasingly likely that Draghi is on track to win here (hardly a surprise, given the circumstances, and widespread fears about suffering more economic distress) However, we wouldn't be surprised to see markets, especially the spread between BTPs and German bunds (the 10-YRs), price in a little (or even a lot) more anxiety as all of Europe waits on tenterhooks for the decision.

No Election! Top Eurocrat to Form EU 'Technocratic' Government in Italy
Italian president Sergio Mattarella has called on former European Central bank (ECB) president Mario Draghi to form a new technocrat government following the resignation of Giuseppe Conte rather than call fresh elections.
Mr Draghi accepted the offer to form a government on Wednesday after a meeting with the Italian president and will begin talks with various political parties in the parliament to secure the majority needed to properly govern the country. Britain's Daily Telegraph responded to the decision, calling it a breath-taking stitch-up.
If Draghi is unable to come to terms with enough parties to form a solid majority, he will likely return to President Mattarella and refuse the position of Italian prime minister, Il Giornale reports.
Should he form a new government, it would not be the first time in recent years a pro-European Union figure has come to head the Italian national government.
Following the resignation of long-serving Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in 2011, European Commissioner Mario Monti was appointed prime minister and led a technocrat government from November 2011 to April 2013.
Draghi spoke to Italian media following his meeting with President Mattarella, saying: "This is a difficult time. The president recalled the dramatic health crisis with its serious effects on people's lives, on the economy, on society."

Populist senator and leader of the League Matteo Salvini said he would support Draghi's appointment on certain conditions, including a guarantee of a national election in May or June, at the latest.
Salvini also demanded that Draghi not raise any taxes and pushed for the League policy of introducing a 15 per cent flat tax on incomes.
The populist leader also hit back against concerns made by President Mattarella on the safety of a national vote due to the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, saying that elections were already scheduled in Calabria in April.
"In addition, 1,300 municipalities will also go to the polls, including towns such as Rome, Milan, Turin, Naples, and Bologna. Twenty million Italians will be called to the polls. If there can be 20 million, I think they may be as many as 60 million," he said.
A Draghi government also threatens to tear apart the Five Star Movement (M5S), which has been ailing in recent polls.
According to Il Giornale, a split in the movement exists between those who support Draghi and those against him, such as senate vice-president Paola Taverna who rejected a technocrat government and said: "We believe that the only way forward is early elections. Citizens must be able to choose who will have to raise the fortunes of our country."

Mario Draghi, Credited With Saving The Euro, Tapped To Form A New Government In Italy
'Amid turmoil from the coronavirus pandemic, the economy, and political infighting, the man known for leading Europe's economy from crisis has been tapped to assemble a new government for Italy.
Mario Draghi, known as "Super Mario" from his time as the president of the European Central Bank, has agreed to form a new government at the request of Italian president Sergio Mattarella. This followed the collapse of the ruling coalition after the resignation of Giuseppe Conte as prime minister last week amid disagreements among its parties over the handling of the pandemic.
If and when Draghi succeeds in putting together a cabinet and wins a parliamentary vote of confidence, then he would become prime minister.'

Former ECB Chief Mario Draghi Tapped To Lead Italy As Government Collapses
The day may have finally come for "Super Mario" to take the reins in his chaotic home-country of Italy and lead it back to the path of capitalism-driven prosperity before its banking system collapses (surely we jest).
But what will the "whatever it takes" central banker ethos mean with Draghi now responsible for one of the most fiscally-frayed major powers in Europe?
After a series of earlier votes, Giuseppe Conte, who was brought in as an apolitical compromise PM just a couple of years ago by a tenuous coalition of the Five Star movement and The League, Italy's popular right-wing anti-migrant party. The League's leader, Matteo Salvini, was ousted in the summer of 2019 after attempting to force another election in which The League would (at least in theory) walk away with enough votes for Salvini to expel his pesky coalition partners.
But that's not how it went.
Instead, Conte managed to cobble together a coalition involving both 5-Star and the opposition Democrats (violating Five Star's "anti-establishment" pitch) and he managed to emerge at the head of a new government, while Salvini was cast back into the opposition.
Salvini has been hard at work since then to win the prize he holds most dear: someday leading Italy as PM. But Conte has seemingly run out of luck as notoriously ungovernable Italy votes out another government.
President Sergio Mattarella, who serves a kind of caretaker role in Italy's political system, pushed back at the prospect of going to another election, as he urged Italy's lawmakers to continue talks to form a new caretaker coalition.
And in the latest sign that we now live in bizarro world, having joked just minutes before that…

Italy's Conte Expected to Quit Within 24 Hours to Plot Comeback
(Bloomberg) - Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte is expected to resign in the next 24 hours to avoid a damaging defeat in the Senate and maneuver to return at the head of a new government.
Bloomberg Giuseppe ConteThe idea is that by preemptively offering his resignation to President Sergio Mattarella, who oversees the formation of ruling coalitions, Conte will then get asked to have another shot at putting together a government, according to officials who asked not to be named discussing confidential deliberations.
It could all come to a head on Tuesday, the officials said. Conte may first brief his cabinet and then go to meet the head of state to formally ask for authorization to try to cobble together a third coalition.
The Five Star Movement, the biggest force in the current parliament, and lawmakers of the center-left Democratic Party are both urging the premier to resign after a junior ally ditched the alliance, officials said.
The trigger is a vote in the Senate later this week and the parliamentary math does not add up, hence the latest gambit for Conte's political survival. Five Star has plunged in the polls and stands to lose the most if the government collapses and Mattarella decides early elections are unavoidable.

The twists and turns of the country's latest Byzantine politicking have left even the most cynical Italians shaking their heads at a time when the pandemic-battered economy faces huge challenges, including how to spend the European Union's recovery package and speed up the pace of vaccinations.
Conte's Nemesis
After resisting pressure to quit following the defection earlier this month of the Italy Alive party led by former Premier Matteo Renzi, Conte may conclude that resigning now and coming back to head a "unity government" is his best option, the officials said.
There is also the fact that Renzi and Conte have a long-festering dislike of each other and have been ill at ease in a coalition of mutual convenience.
Conte could seek to forge a new coalition, this time possibly with centrists, unaffiliated lawmakers, Renzi's Italy Alive party or members of it, as well as lawmakers from Silvio Berlusconi's center-right Forza Italia, the officials said.
Since the premier still needs about a dozen extra votes before the Senate ballot on the annual report of his justice minister, most likely Wednesday or Thursday, his resignation gambit would be strategic.

Italy's Conte looks for outside backing after Renzi quits government
ROME (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte resisted calls to resign on Thursday after a junior coalition party pulled out of his government, stripping him of a parliamentary majority in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, Conte signalled he wanted to take his fight for survival to parliament, with his main coalition partners backing plans to try to find so-called "responsible" lawmakers from among opposition ranks to prop up the administration. On Monday he will address the Chamber of Deputies on the crisis and what is sure to be a fiery debate will be followed by a vote of confidence that should provide an indication of whether he can battle on.
If he survives that vote, an even tougher one will come the following day in the upper house Senate, where cobbling together a majority looks more difficult. "Government majorities are put together in parliament, openly, in the light of day and without shame. This is what we will do now," said Dario Franceschini, the culture minister and a leading figure in the co-ruling Democratic Party (PD). Former premier Matteo Renzi plunged the country into political chaos on Wednesday when he withdrew his two ministers from the cabinet, presenting a long list of grievances over how Conte had handled the health emergency and the economy. Renzi has left open the door to returning to the fold so long as a new policy pact could be worked out, but his one-time partners said they wanted nothing more to do with him.

Italian Government Near Collapse After Renzi Pulls Ministers From Ruling Coalition
As if there wasn't enough chaos in the world.
Yesterday we reported that under the leadership of the ECB's QE Premier Giuseppe Conte, Italy's government has - or rather had - enjoyed a degree of stability unseen in decades, as the technocratic former law professor - initially brought in to lead a government formed by two anti-establishment parties, the anti-migrant League and left-wing populist Five Star Movement - had already survived the collapse of his original coalition. When League leader Matteo Salvini withdrew from the ruling coalition back in 2019, Conte managed to stave off another election by recruiting new allies from the opposition.
Since then, Conte has led Italy through two COVID-19 lockdowns, and as the country lumbers forward, with much of its economy still paralyzed, the PM has his work cut out for him if he wants to get the country's debt burden under control without resorting to punishing austerity measures (which, at this point, would probably spark a full-tilt revolution in the streets of Italy's largest cities).
But as Italy staggers out of another COVID-19-induced-lockdown, the ruling coalition is once again at the point of fracture. After Salvini quit the ruling coalition back in the summer of 2019, Conte struck a deal with Matteo Renzi, the former prime minister, who later broke off from the Democrats and formed his own centrist group.
On Tuesday, now that Italy has finally received the ?196 billion-euro ($240 billion) windfall from the European Union COVID bailout package, Italy's parliament must vote on how to spend the money. But since nothing is ever easy in Italy's politically fragmented government, disagreements over spending priorities prompted Matteo Renzi, Italy's extremely unpopular former prime minister and junior partner in the coalition, to consider abandoning the government, and thrusting it into chaos just as the relief package is being finalized.
Moments ago, Renzi did just that, when the small but critical junior coalition partner pulled his ministers, putting the fate of Italy's governing coalition in jeopardy. While the news isn't a complete surprise, Conte had been making conciliatory noises and the market largely ignored yesterday's news of just this eventuality. Still, Italian bond yields had spiked in recent days in anticipation of the government possibly falling, but as Bloomberg notes "it's probably not fully priced in yet."
In response to today's news, the EURUSD initially dipped…

The latest government plan uses EU money to earmark ?223 billion euros for investment and other projects to boost the Italian economy, which was already weak even before the pandemic, according to a draft seen by Bloomberg.
Spending on infrastructure including railways, highways, ports and logistics totals ?32 billion, while investment to make Italy's economy greener totals ?69 billion. Health spending, meanwhile, has been raised to ?19.7 billion in what Bloomberg described as a concession to Renzi. But Renzi and his lawmakers have demanded Conte share more power with his coalition partners, while speeding up public works projects (and giving up control of the secret services).

Q Research General #15895: In God We Trust Edition
Super Computer & Military in Italy altered the election results in 17 States
COMMON SENSE: With just two weeks to go in the Trump Presidency, why would Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) ask for the 25th Amendment to be invoked? Why would Schumer want Trump removed from office? With so little time left, doesn't this seem odd to you? It feels more like a dramatic moment in a soap opera than a necessary action to be taken. After all, Joe Biden is now the President-Elect. Because he has official status, what's the big deal about hounding Trump out of office? Could there be a reason for this. There is. Let me tell you what it is.
While Antifa was rampaging through the Capitol during Biden's ratification, pretending to be Trump supporters, across the ocean in Rome, Italy, Arturo D'elio, an employee at Leonardo SpA, was busy providing sworn testimony in court. Where D'elio works is important. Leonardo is the world's eighth largest defense contractor, and Italy is a member of NATO.
In his deposition, D'elio revealed the scheme that proved to be successful in using Leonardo computer systems as well as military satellites located in Pescara, Italy. D'elio's hi-tech equipment altered the election results in the 2020 Presidential Election in the United States. D'elio swore under oath that he altered results in seventeen states-that's right, seventeen, not just the six swing states.
Those who participated in this scheme were not minor players. Italy's Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, was involved. So were officials at the U.S. Embassy in Rome. MI-6 and the CIA were involved. Others were involved too, household names in the USA, but revealing those scoundrels will have to wait.
What we have here is not just the smoking gun. It's the confession of the person who used the gun. His sworn testimony is evidence, the very thing we have long awaited. We have always known that votes were altered. Now, we know not only how it was done but also who the people were who were responsible for changing the election's outcome. We have proof about who stole votes from Trump and gave them to Biden.
The scandal this has produced in Italy is so large that Conte's government will probably fall. It should. That this has happened is being repressed by the U.S. media. No surprise about this but, because this is the biggest story since Pearl Harbor, I don't believe it can be swept under the rug. The bad guys, those like Chuck Schumer and even some Republicans, know it's coming. This is why they want to get rid of President Trump once and for all.
This discovery may have come too late, but maybe not. Perhaps there is still time to save our republic. Share this far and wide. I've provided links to the evidence and to the analysis. While writing this, Numbers 32:23 came to mind. "Be sure, your sin will find you out."

"Lewis Eisenberg was appointed by Trump in 2017 and he was a contributor to his first campaign but, at the same time, he's very close to the Zionist neocon lobbies which do oppose Trump's military disengagement.
The political level of the operation: Renzi and Obama
What was described so far is mainly the military and secret service level of the operation orchestrated by unfaithful and subversive members of the US and Italian deep state, but Mrs. Zack's following revelations are even more shocking.
The political level of the plan would have been basically conceived by Barack Obama who was allegedly helped by his Italian counterpart, so to speak, Matteo Renzi, the former Italian Prime Minister.
The Chairman of Nations in Actions claims that what happened was "a really brilliant plan orchestrated by Obama with the help of Renzi."
The relationship between Renzi and Obama is simply fundamental in order to figure out both the first coup attempt against Trump, namely the Spygate, and the second ongoing coup against the US President, which is the electoral fraud.
The latest declassification of the CIA documents have revealed that in September 2016, Barack Obama was perfectly informed of what was going on against the then Republican candidate.
The former CIA director, John Brennan, had informed President Obama that Hillary Clinton was fabricating a false scandal in order to depict Trump as a "Russian stooge".
The US institutions, such as the FBI and the US intelligence community, had a major role in this plot because they gave a green light to the illegal espionage against Trump.
Therefore, it is not far-fetched to say that President Obama had been the mastermind of the sabotage plan against Donald Trump.
At the same time, the Spygate couldn't took place without the decisive part of Italy. When Obama had chosen to authorize the illegal espionage operation, he would have asked the help of the former Italian Prime Minister, Renzi.
The timing is very important in this matter. A month after Obama-Brennan's meeting, the then Italian PM paid a visit to the White House.
If Mrs. Zack's version is right, it was in that occasion that Obama ordered Renzi to take part in the plan.
Renzi would have agreed by involving the Italian secret services in the espionage.
The Italian secret services would have conceived a plan to set up Giulio Occhionero, an Italian nuclear engineer, who had been used as way to falsely associate Trump to the Kremlin.
Basically, the Italian intelligence would have tried to plant Hillary Clinton's emails on Occhionero's US company, Westlands Inc.
Apparently, Occhionero was chosen as a patsy because he's quite close to the American conservative circles that endorsed Trump campaign.
Globalism has been using the Italian deep state against Trump
However, the most surprising thing that ties this scandal with the electoral fraud is the relation between Obama and Renzi.
Even after both of them left office, they kept working together in order to orchestrate a sort of permanent coup d'état against Donald Trump.
There's a red thread that connects Spygate and the US electoral fraud and this red thread is the axis between the Italian and the US deep state, represented in this case by Obama and Renzi.
This subversive plan would have never stopped and would have continued until November 2020 when both sides, the US and the Italian operatives, conspired to overthrow Trump.
In other words, globalism has certainly used members of the Democratic party as Obama to coordinate the coup, but even more crucial would have been the subversive power of the Italian deep state deeply infiltrated in Italy's public institutions.
The current Italian PM, Giuseppe Conte, would have been perfectly informed of this operation as "he is very engaged and involved" claims Zack.
And frankly, if this version is proven right, it is hard to think the contrary.
Leonardo is a government company whose 30.2% of shares are in the hands of the Italian ministry of Economy, who's Mr. Roberto Gualtieri, a EU loyalist.
The present CEO of Leonardo, Mr. Profumo, was appointed in his role in April 2020 by Conte who basically confirmed the choice of his predecessor, Paolo Gentiloni, former Italian PM in 2017 and also apparently involved in the Spygate.
According to Zack, the black funds to run this plot would have been provided by Iran, which would have financed Obama with 400 million dollar to direct the operation.

Q Research General #15512: When The Eagles Are Silent, The Parrots Begin To Jabber Edition
'Christmas Gift': Families of COVID-19 Dead File Suit Against Italian Officials, Seek $122 Million
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Italy has become one of the hardest hit European countries, as its death toll recently surpassed 70,000 and its case count nears 2 million. Tracking by Worldometer notes Italy ranks fourth in case count when compared against other European countries.
A total of 500 relatives of individuals who died of COVID-19 in Italy presented a lawsuit on Wednesday against regional and national authorities who they claim are liable for criminal negligence due to their handling of the pandemic.
The civil lawsuit is against Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, Health Minister Roberto Speranza and Attilio Fontana, the governor of the hard-hit Lombardy region. The legal action seeks a total of $122 million in damages, Reuters reported.
Although the lawsuit focuses on the February decision by officials to reopen a hospital in Lombardy a few hours after a COVID-19 outbreak was detected, the main sticking point of the suit is the alleged absence of an updated national pandemic plan and a failure by regional officials to execute a localized version of that plan.
"These complaints are our Christmas gift to those who should have done what they were supposed to do and did not do while in Italy, on December 25, there will be 70,000 empty chairs," Luca Fusco, president of the advocacy group Noi Denunceremo, which launched the lawsuit, said in a statement.
"With proper planning, as requested over and over again by the EU and WHO [World Health Organization], we are sure there would have been many fewer [deaths]."
Noi Denunceremo, which was established in April to represent the families of those who died in Lombardy's city of Bergamo, have filed hundreds of legal complaints over the last several months that shed light on how some individuals died.
Concerns about Italy's mismanagement of the pandemic recently resurfaced after prosecutors questioned Francesco Zambon, an epidemiologist who co-authored a report on Italy's COVID-19 response that determined the government's handling of the crisis was "improvised, chaotic and creative."
Though the report was published in May by the WHO, it was removed a day later over "factual inaccuracies." However, Zambon told the Associated Press that he was pressured by Dr. Ranieri Guerra, a senior WHO official, to alter data regarding Italy's plan. Guerra, who was working as liaison with the Italian government at the time, was responsible for updating the country's pandemic plan during his time at the Italian Health Ministry between 2014 and late 2017.
Consuelo Locati, the lawyer heading the lawsuit, explained to The Guardian for a Tuesday article that "even if [the old plan] was implemented, it wouldn't have worked as it lacked a series of steps that should have been followed in order to have been prepared for this pandemic."
"They had no guidelines," she underscored.
While several Italian regions were devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Lombardy took the brunt of it. According to data collected by Statista, the region has recorded over 24,000 coronavirus-related deaths.

French President Emmanuel Macron tests positive for COVID; news sends multiple European leaders into quarantine
Recently attended a summit with other officials
French President Emmanuel Macron has tested positive for COVID-19, according to Reuters.
The information has allegedly sent several European leaders into quarantine following a Dec. 10-11 summit.
What are the details?
The outlet reported that Macron met with "numerous" heads of state and their high-ranking officials before testing positive for COVID-19.
Over the last 10 days, he has met with Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa and French Prime Minister Jean Castex, who are now self-isolating. Macron also reportedly met with Costa for a working lunch.
He also was in attendance at a convention with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and President of the European Council Charles Michael. Both are now self-isolating.
Sanchez also reportedly had lunch with Macron on Monday, the Spanish leader's office said in a statement.
The report noted that Macron attended a European Council summit in Brussels.
"Of the council's 27 member states, only two leaders were missing: Estonia's Jüri Ratas and Croatia's Andrej Plenkovic."
Those in attendance also included German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, European Parliament President David Sassoli, and President of the European Commission Ursula Von Der Leyen.
What else?
On Thursday, CNN reported that the Elysee Palace said Macron was diagnosed after being tested "at the onset of the first symptoms."
"In accordance with current health regulations applicable to all, the President of the Republic will isolate himself for 7 days. He continues to work and carry out his activities remotely," the statement added.
A reported EU official in the European Council told CNN that "all sanitary measures were observed, and we have not been informed of any other participant or staff present during the summit who tested positive."
On Monday, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control reported that France's 14-day coronavirus infection rate was 236.3 new cases per 100,000 people.

Judge Gives Residency to Migrant Who Set Village on Fire, Killing Multiple People
A judge has granted humanitarian residency to a Gambian migrant who admitted to having started fires in his native village, killing several people.
The migrant arrived in Italy in 2016 but was initially denied asylum by the Bologna Territorial Commission in September of 2018. He then appealed the decision to the Bologna court, which granted him a residency permit on humanitarian grounds late last month.
According to a report from newspaper Il Giornale, the migrant admitted to setting a large part of his village on fire.
He told judges that he had worked in the fields of his village after two years at an Islamic school, and one day he set dry grass on fire which spread to nearby houses due to heavy winds. The fire ultimately killed several people and put others in the hospital.

According to the migrant, relatives of the victims were so enraged they planned to kill him. He said he escaped the village after locals broke into his home and attacked him.
In 2015 he travelled to Libya where he remained for eleven months before coming to Italy illegally.
The judge who granted the Gambian residency said that he had no family to return to in his native country and claimed that he was on the path to integration, citing these as reasons for him to be allowed to remain in the country.
Humanitarian residency permits were scrapped for a period by former interior minister Matteo Salvini, of the populist League (Lega) party, as part of his security and migration decrees in 2018.
The decree was part of Salvini's tough stance on mass migration which largely stopped migrant taxi NGOs from entering Italian ports and led to a huge decrease in new migrant arrivals and in drowning deaths in the Mediterranean sea.
The current leftist coalition government under Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, however, has fought against Salvini's security decrees and sought to repeal them.

Of the 1.71 billion euros spent abroad, 1.57 billion, or 91.7 per cent, went to Chinese-owned firms. South Korean companies were the second-largest foreign beneficiary of the pandemic in Italy, earning ?29 million, newspaper Il Giornale reports.

Meloni labelled the figures "disturbing" and claimed they revealed an "absolute dependence" of the government led by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime in Beijing.
"The misfortune within the misfortune is that while having to face a health, social, and economic emergency, the government was totally subservient to foreign interests," she said.
"This is the worst political class in the Italian republic's history: incapable, visionless, enslaved to foreign interests, and animated only by the desire to have a career and secure their seats," she added.

Northern Italian Region Rebels Against Government and Reopens for Business
ROME - The northern Italian region of Valle d'Aosta has defied coronavirus restrictions imposed by the central government, declaring itself a "yellow zone" and reopening restaurants, bars, shops, and businesses.
In a November 3 decree, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte imposed national restrictions covering the entire territory as well as regional restrictions based on a three-tiered ranking system - yellow, orange, and red - depending on how great he believes the coronavirus risk to be in each.
The ranking of the regions is regularly updated and currently seven are considered "yellow" (lowest risk), nine are ranked "orange," and the remaining five are "red" zones (locked down). Among the five red regions is Valle d'Aosta, which has rebelled against the system by declaring itself a yellow zone.
Valla d'Aosta's regional president Erik Lavevaz has claimed regional autonomy over "the freedom of movement of its citizens, economic activities, and social relations" and has signed a law allowing the reopening of retail stores, bars, museums, religious services, restaurants, libraries, and other businesses. The regional council confirmed the mandate to wear a mask even outdoors as well as the national ban on gatherings.
The minister for regional autonomy Francesco Boccia immediately warned the Aosta Valley Council that the move will be challenged in what is being labelled an institutional clash between Italy's central government and local authorities.

According to the central government, regions such as Valle d'Aosta do not have the right to mitigate the health provisions adopted by the government in Rome but they are permitted to make them stricter.
"The Italian government has shown little sensitivity in understanding the problems of the mountains," said Erik Lavevaz, who has only been president of the region since October 21, 2020, during the meeting of the regional council that approved the law. "This law goes in the right direction, which is the one we have already begun: it gives order to the implementation phase of management of the emergency, immersing itself in our territorial reality."
Minister Francesco Boccia said that the matter will be referred immediately to the Regional Administrative Tribunal (TAR) for a judgment.
"The statements of President Lavevaz of the Valle d'Aosta Region undermine and damage the loyal collaboration that has characterized the hard and tiring common effort against the pandemic these past months," Mr. Boccia said.
"Everyone knows the importance of the serious crisis that the economic entities are enduring," he added, "but evidently not everyone is aware of the very serious health emergency and the number of families that have to face very heavy grief every day."

Italian Businesses Threaten Tax Strike If Closed Under Lockdown
A Tuscan group representing small and medium-sized enterprises has threatened the government with a tax strike if businesses are forced to close due to Wuhan coronavirus lockdown measures.
Confcommercio Toscana said that it would support any of its 50,000 members across Tuscany in their tax strike. The group's president, Anna Lapini, stated that "those who govern us have not bothered to stop the costs to our companies, which instead continue to run". She added that businesses would not have the cash needed to make tax payments.
"Our companies no longer have resources, and we prefer to continue to pay employees and suppliers as a priority over a state that does not understand, but rather tramples on, our reasons for existence. So we pay no more taxes," Lapini said, according to Il Giornale.
She went on to add that the government was treating companies and professionals like "ATMs without protection or respect". She explained that instead of payments, letters would be sent to the government, informing them that companies are on strike and money will not be paid.
Lapini added that without real solutions from the government, "the health emergency will become a war-like economic catastrophe".
The threat of tax strikes comes after members of populist Senator Matteo Salvini's League and their allies suggested earlier this month that the government stop collecting taxes in areas facing lockdown measures.
League MP Paolo Grimoldi called on the government of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to suspend taxes, as had been done in February.

Covid curfew to be rolled out across all of Italy, PM Conte reveals, among more new restrictions
Italy's prime minister has announced plans to introduce a nightly curfew on the entire country along with further measures including the closure of bars and museums, while shopping centers will be shut at weekends.
Giuseppe Conte said on Monday that the country will set a new nationwide curfew, running from 9pm until the following morning, amid soaring Covid infections. He warned that hospitals would be overrun in 15 of Italy's 20 regions by next month unless the government intervened now.
In light of the latest report on Friday and the particularly critical situations in some regions, we are forced to intervene with a view to mitigate the contagion.
Speaking to the Chamber of Deputies, Conte said that they would also be dividing the country into three areas depending on the risk level, but national measures would be limited and specific.
Restrictions imposed on the whole of Italy include the nighttime curfew, limiting travel in and out of certain areas, as well as the closure of shopping centers at weekends. Meanwhile, museums, bars, video game halls and exhibitions will be forced to shut. Urban transport capacity will also be limited to 50 percent.
An official announcement is expected to be made to the public on Monday evening following the prime minister's summit with regional officials during the day.
Details of the regional restrictions are not yet known, however, Deputy Labor Minister Francesca Puglisi has told Sky TG 24 that schools may be impacted.
"Unfortunately, we have to sacrifice direct teaching, and lessons will be taught online for all high school students, and it has not yet been decided whether lower elementary school students will follow classes from home," said Puglisi.
Earlier in October, Conte's government took measures to curb socializing both at homes and in public spaces, limiting the operations of bars, and sports and school activities. This was reinforced last week with the introduction of early curfew on cafes and restaurants and the shutting down of gyms and pools.
Italy was one of the first epicenters for Covid-19 in Europe and experienced a harsh lockdown in the first half of 2020. On Sunday, Italy registered 29,907 new infections, bringing the national tally to 709,335 since the pandemic began. A further 208 fatalities were also recorded, bringing the total deaths to 38,826.

Populist senator Matteo Salvini sported a "Trump 2020" mask in Italian parliament on Tuesday ahead of remarks that he was set to deliver to the Senate.
"Greetings from the Senate, my speech in half an hour," tweeted Salvini on Tuesday. "Good evening, friends."

In his speech, Salvini lamented those in Italian government who have "extended the state of emergency on COVID [Chinese coronavirus]," but have allegedly done nothing for Italy's North-West regions, which the senator says was hit with more deaths on October 2.
"It's surreal," said Salvini. "[French President Emmanuel Macron] also went there, [but] nothing from [Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte]. Zero money allocated, zero emergency."
"Help other countries? Okay, but we impose readmission clauses: we give you the money, but you take back all the illegal immigrants who are arriving in Italy," added Salvini in a follow-up post expanding on his remarks in Parliament.

Last month, Salvini was the victim of a physical attack, reportedly by a politically left-wing migrant, during a campaign event ahead of the regional elections in the traditional leftist stronghold of Tuscany.
The attack took place in the commune of Pontassieve and involved a woman tearing at Salvini's shirt and his rosary.
Silvia Sardone, a female colleague of Salvini's in his League Party, received several rape threats last week - many allegedly from migrants - after she opposed the construction of a temporary mosque in the Via Novara area of the city of Milan.

European countries enforce new restrictions as coronavirus cases hit record high - curfews in Italy, Germany, Spain, UK, Ireland
Governments across Europe are ratcheting up restrictions as the continent recorded its highest weekly number of new coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said there were more than 700,000 new Covid-19 cases reported in Europe last week, a jump of 34% compared to the previous week, with the UK, France, Russia and Spain accounting for more than half of new infections recorded in the region.
The increasing case numbers in Europe are partly the result of more testing, but the UN health agency noted that deaths were also up 16% in the region last week compared to the previous week.
Doctors are also warning that while many new cases currently affect younger people, who tend to have milder symptoms, the median age could rise again, resulting in more serious illnesses in elderly populations.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte ordered bans on sports games among friends and parties in closed spaces. Private gatherings at homes with more than six people who do not live together are also discouraged.
Like other European countries, Italy is also limiting nightlife, with bars and restaurants having to close at midnight, and drinking while standing at a bar banned after 9pm.
Italy made wearing masks mandatory outdoors last week, a requirement already in place in Spain, Turkey, India and a handful of other Asian countries. Elsewhere in Europe, such mandates are in effect in hotspot cities like Paris, Brussels and Pristina, Kosovo, and are being introduced in several German cities.

Wearing face masks outdoors now mandatory all over Italy
Italy on Wednesday imposed mandatory face-mask wearing outdoors across the country, in an effort to reduce coronavirus infections.
The cabinet agreed on the measure, which makes the wearing of face masks outdoors mandatory, amid a steady increase in new cases in the last two months, the health ministry said.
The decree will probably be effective from Thursday, and ministers have also approved a move to extend the Covid-19 state of emergency to January 31, a cabinet source was quoted as saying.
On October 3, wearing masks outdoors became obligatory in Rome and the Lazio region, amid a rise in new cases. The previous day, Italian PM Giuseppe Conte said that a similar nationwide move would be "evaluated."
In the Lazio region, which includes the capital, Rome, those who fail to comply with the new restrictions will be fined up to ?400. Wearing masks there is also compulsory indoors in public places, at all times.
Masks are already obligatory outdoors in Campania, Calabria, and Sicily, as well as some Italian cities, including Foggia and the historic center of Genoa.
Italy imposed a rigid lockdown between March and May. The country reported an average of more than 2,400 infections daily in the past week, according to a Reuters tally.

Allies & protesters rally in Italy as ex-Deputy PM Salvini faces trial over 'kidnapping' of over 130 migrants
Matteo Salvini, head of the rightwing Lega Nord party, appeared in court over a 2019 order to bar migrants from disembarking onto Italy's shores. The hearing was accompanied by rallies both in support and against the politician.
People from both camps marched through Catania on Saturday, the second-largest city in Sicily, chanting slogans and carrying banners either supporting or opposing Salvini's cause. The rallies were held amid a heavy police presence as a preliminary hearing on Salvini's case was heard at the city's Palace of Justice.
Salvini, who served as Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister until September 2019, was in court for the hearing on "aggravated kidnapping" charges brought against him. They relate to an incident last July when the right-wing politician denied a coastguard ship - that rescued 131 migrants, among them over a dozen unaccompanied minors - permission to dock in Sicily.
Protesters critical of his policies accuse him of violating human rights, one described Salvini's rhetoric to Ruptly video agency as "mostly based on a preconception of racism and of social differences." Meanwhile, people favoring Salvini, who chairs the anti-immigration Lega Nord party, insisted he did nothing wrong.
"Is it even possible that after all these years we are still a colony? That we still have to follow these people who will disembark in Sicily because they are convinced that a sandwich and a sausage are enough to get votes?" a pro-Salvini protester told Ruptly.
the Gregoretti, the vessel in question, was kept at sea for close to a week and was only allowed to disembark after France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg and Portugal agreed to take the migrants. If found guilty of the "kidnapping" charges, Salvini could face up to 15 years behind bars; he may also be prohibited from holding a position of power for six years.
Salvini's defense insists he did not act alone when ordering to close the Sicilian port, and that such a decision was made collectively by the government and that it was not illegal. Prosecutors believe that by denying the ship entry, Salvini broke international law that mandates the care of rescued people. A separate charge alleges that Salvini abused his power by depriving the migrants of their personal freedom.
It's now for the preliminary hearing judges to decide if the case is robust enough for a full trial to take place. The politician himself earlier told the media that "I will plead guilty to defending Italy and the Italians."
Further hearings have already been called for November and December. Judges have summoned as witnesses Italy's Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, Foreign Minister, Luigi Di Maio, and the former Infrastructure and Transport minister Danilo Toninelli. All three were part of the coalition government at that time with Salvini.
During his 14-month tenure as Interior Minister, Salvini advocated a hardline approach towards illegal immigration. Back in 2018, he declared Italian ports off-limits to migrant-filled rescue ships, sparking numerous standoffs between the vessels and Italian authorities.

Monte dei Paschi shareholders approve bad loan clean-up
Shareholders in Monte dei Paschi di Siena BMPS.MI approved on Sunday a long-awaited bad loan clean-up plan aimed at easing the sale of the state-owned bank to a healthier rival. Italy has worked for two years on the plan, which gained final approval from the European Central Bank in September and must be completed by Dec. 1. Rome bailed out Monte dei Paschi in 2017, acquiring a 68% stake for 5.4 billion euros ($6.3 billion). To meet conditions agreed at the time with European Union competition authorities, it must cut that stake before the bank approves 2021 earnings.
The 'Hydra' scheme approved on Sunday at an extraordinary shareholders' meeting will lower Monte dei Paschi's impaired loans to 4.3% of total lending, below UniCredit's CRDI.MI 4.8%, currently the best level among larger commercial banks. The move was designed to facilitate a merger, but the Treasury is struggling to find buyers for the loss-making bank, people familiar with the matter have said. Under the 'Hydra' scheme Monte dei Paschi will transfer 8.1 billion euros in impaired loans to state-owned bad loan manager AMCO, together with other assets and liabilities including 1.1 billion euros in capital.
The deal, which includes a 3.2 billion euro bridge loan by banks UBS and JPMorgan, allowed Monte dei Paschi to shed the loans without incurring losses. However, the ECB has demanded the bank replenishes its capital buffers, a condition the Treasury had hoped to fulfil by finding a buyer by the end of the year. Clinching such a deal, however, will require more time as incentives to lure potential buyers will have to be negotiated, sources have said. The ruling 5-Star Movement has been calling for the state to hold onto MPS and Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte is yet to sign a decree needed to complete the bad loan spin-off.

Depending on the definition, the world's oldest bank is either Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena or Berenberg Bank. Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena was founded in its present form in 1624, but traces its history to a mount of piety founded in 1472. The Berenberg company was founded in 1590 and has operated continuously ever since with the same family as owners or major co-owners. Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena is today a large Italian retail bank, while Berenberg Bank is primarily involved in investment banking and private banking for wealthy customers; in any event Berenberg Bank is the world's oldest merchant bank or investment bank. The world's oldest central bank is the Sveriges Riksbank, which was founded in 1668.

Vatican official accuses Trump administration of using pope
That's why Francis won't meet Pompeo says Gallagher
Redazione ANSA
ROME
30 September 2020 13:47
(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 30 - A top Vatican official on Wednesday accused US President Donald Trump's administration of using Pope Francis with an event staged during US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's visit to Rome.
Paul Richard Gallagher, the Vatican's Secretary for Relations with States, answered in the affirmative when asked by ANSA if the US unilaterally organizing a symposium on religious freedom at its embassy to the Holy See amounted to exploitation of the pope in the final stages of the US presidential campaign.
"Yes, that is precisely why the pope will not meet American Secretary of State Mike Pompeo," Gallagher said.
During his visit, Pompeo is set to have talks with Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte, Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio and Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, but not Pope Francis.
Vatican sources had said it was felt a meeting with such a senior figure in Trump's administration would be inappropriate so close to the elections.
Pompeo and Parolin are expected to discuss the Vatican's relations with China, after the former accused the Holy See of being too soft on Beijing and was critical of the likelihood that a historic agreement with the Chinese authorities on the nomination of bishops will be renewed.
Pompeo called on "every faith leader to find the courage to confront religious persecution against their own communities, and those of other faiths" during a speech in Rome on Wednesday.

Leftist Italian Govt Set to Dismantle Salvini Anti-Mass Migration Decrees
Italian Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese has sent a draft letter to Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte which could dismantle the anti-mass migration decrees enacted by populist Senator Matteo Salvini.
Prime Minister Conte has previously stated that he wants to reform the security decrees which placed large fines on migrant transport NGOs and greatly restricted their activity to bring in migrants from the Libyan coast.
While Interior Minister Lamorgese has already reduced the fines to between ?10,000 and ?15,000, much of the security decrees remain in place such as the ban on residency permits for failed asylum seekers under "humanitarian" grounds.
According to a report from newspaper Il Giornale, the Conte left-wing coalition government is now looking to reverse the Salvini decrees and open the country back up to mass migration.
The new decree is expected to contain nine articles in total, one of which could expand the "special protection" that went on to replace the humanitarian protection residency permit.

For at least the past year, the coalition of the Democratic Party (PD) and the Five Star Movement has discussed scrapping the anti-mass migration decrees. It has allowed NGOs to operate in a limited capacity, sometimes seizing their vessels after they drop off migrants.
A ship belonging to one NGO, the German-based Sea-Eye, was initially rejected by Italian authorities for port access and announced this week the vessel would instead travel to Marseille, France, with 125 migrants aboard.
On Thursday, however, it was revealed that Italian authorities relented, giving the NGO's vessel Alan Kurdi access to the port of Arbatax in Sardinia.
The acceptance came after a complaint from the French government, which said: "For two years, we have always stood by Italy in the solidarity mechanism for the management of landings. We, therefore, ask you to respond favourably to the request made by the NGO to dock in the nearest safe harbour."

Salvini Slams Italian Leftist Govt for Illegal Migrant Surge
Populist Senator Matteo Salvini slammed the leftist coalition government of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, noting the recent increase in illegal migrants and the risks of a new Chinese coronavirus outbreak.
The populist League (Lega) leader remarked that "landings have tripled since last year, with illegal immigrants being recovered even near Maltese waters, while Lampedusa is collapsing and hundreds of immigrants flee the reception centres who risk spreading Covid-19".
According to a report in newspaper Il Giornale, around 180 migrants fled a reception centre in the Sicilian commune of Caltanissetta, with police later managing to catch 120 escapees.
"This government endangers Italy," Salvini warned.
The island of Lampedusa, the part of Italy which lies closest to the North African coast, has been inundated with new migrant arrivals in the last several weeks. A report has claimed that as many as one migrant boat arrives every hour on average and the migrant reception centre on the island is heavily overcrowded.
Italian Island Overwhelmed as Migrant Boats Arrive Every Hour on Average https://t.co/qXNMhvBz4E

Lampedusa mayor Totò Martello said: "The situation has become uncontrollable. If the government doesn't, I'll declare a state of emergency."
Salvini replied to Martello's comments over the weekend saying that the Lampedusa mayor was expressing "crocodile tears".
"We defend the fishermen, entrepreneurs and workers of Lampedusa tired of an unprecedented invasion, which we had stopped last year," Salvini added.
Last year, Salvini served as Italian Interior Minister, and migrant landings were greatly reduced as ports were blocked off for migrant transport NGOs. Salvini's closed border police also resulted in a significant decrease in the number of drowning deaths in the Mediterranean sea, as well.
He and his party have now been replaced by the left-establishment Democrats (PD) as the coalition partners of the left-populist Five Star Movement in the Italian government, however.
Salvini is not the only one to speak out against the migrant landings. Earlier in the month, residents of Lampedusa held their own local referendum on the ongoing crisis, with the vast majority voting to close the island's migrant reception facility.

Italy: Magistrates attacked Salvini despite knowing he was right, leaks show
Recently leaked social media messages show that Italian magistrates publicly accused former Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini of violating the law while he was in office despite privately indicating that they knew he was in the right.
Salvini, the leader of the populist Right-wing Lega party, served as Minister of the Interior from June 2018 until September 2019, when he was ousted after putting forward a motion for a no confidence vote in Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. A harsh critic of illegal migration, Salvini advanced staunch anti-migration policies during his term.
Italy's magistrates publicly attacked Salvini on an almost daily basis during 2018 for his policies towards migration. They claimed that his closing of Italy's ports to migrants was illegal. He was also accused of violating migration laws by detaining migrants when they arrived at Italian ports, and he faces the possibility of standing trial for this alleged offence later this year.
The Italian newspaper La Verità has now published a private WhatsApp conversation between magistrates, dating from August 2018, in which their true views about Salvini are revealed, according to a report by Il Giornale.
"I'm sorry to say that I don't really see where Salvini is wrong," Paolo Auriemma, the Chief Prosecutor for Viterbo, wrote in the chat to Luca Palamara, former President of the National Association of Magistrates. "Attempts to enter Italy illegally are being made, and the Minister of the Interior is intervening to prevent this from happening."
"You are right," Palamara replied. "But now we have to attack [Salvini]."
The two also agreed on the importance of not allowing the Contents of their chat of being publicised.
Elsewhere in the chat, Auriemma expressed his fear that efforts to attack Salvini could backfire, since, he says, "everyone thinks like him." He also points out that the Italian public feels that "he did a good job in blocking the migrants." He also said that Sicilian prosecutors who were targeting Salvini were "indefensible" because he was merely blocking illegal immigrants from entering the country.
Palamara himself was recently investigated for allegedly accepting bribes from lawyers who were involved in yet another corruption investigation.
This exchange is apparently only one example among many in the leaked conversations in which magistrates discussed the need to attack Salvini in spite of knowing that he was operating within the bounds of the law.
Salvini and other MPs from the Lega party are now calling for an investigation on the grounds that the messages indicate that the independence of the judiciary from politics has been violated. This is especially crucial now that there is a possibility of Salvini being sent for trial for these same alleged offences.
Salvini was also recently attacked by infamous Left-wing extremist financier George Soros, who accused Salvini of wanting to take Italy out of the European Union and the Eurozone, as previously reported by Voice of Europe.

Attorney general Bill Barr asked Italy's spy chiefs what FBI agents were up to in the country before the 2016 election, Italy's prime minister reveals
Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte said Wednesday U.S. Attorney General William Barr was seeking information about the activities of FBI agents assigned to Italy in his meetings with Italian intelligence officials this summer.
Italian media reports have accused Conte of violating protocols in permitting the meetings.
Conte said that Barr first held a 'preliminary technical' meeting with intelligence officials in offices at Rome's Piazza Dante on Aug. 15. That was followed up with another meeting in the same offices on Sept. 27.
The September meeting also included the U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is examining what led the U.S. to open a counterintelligence investigation on the Trump campaign and the roles that various countries played in the U.S. probe.
The disclosure came after a report which claimed that Durham's probe is zeroing in on two former top national security officials based on new information he discovered in Rome.
Sources familiar with the investigation spearheaded by Durham told Fox News on Tuesday that the Connecticut U.S. attorney is 'very interested' in questioning former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump who recently called the probe 'bizarre.'
Durham and Barr have taken multiple covert trips overseas to collect evidence about the Russia investigation, including Italy, where they reportedly heard a recording from a taped deposition with Joseph Mifsud, the professor widely credited with sparking the counter-intelligence investigation into Trump campaign officials which eventually became wrapped up in Robert Mueller's investigation.
Mifsud allegedly offered to give ex-Trump aide George Papadopoulos Russian 'dirt' on Hillary Clinton in a move Papadopoulos has suggested was part of a set-up by intelligence agencies.

Italian lawmaker demands Bill Gates be ARRESTED for 'crimes against humanity'... But WHY?
An Italian lawmaker has managed to bring the conspiracy blame-game to an entirely new level, exercising her parliamentary privilege to blast Bill Gates as a "vaccine criminal" and globalist tool. Bill Gates and his latest anti-coronavirus efforts have been at the center of the wildest theories that explore possible sinister motives behind the billionaire's activities. In arguably the most high-profile outcry last week, an Italian MP for Rome Sara Cunial delivered a speech rarely (if ever at all) heard in any parliament. In her passionate address, Cunial called upon fellow lawmakers to defy any plans for compulsory vaccination against Covid-19. Such endeavors are being pushed by the corrupt elites - the Deep State - she claimed, pointing the finger at Bill Gates as one of the main culprits behind the vaccination drive, if not the pandemic itself. Being a well-known anti-vax activist, Cunial singled-out Gates as the villain primarily because of the vaccination campaigns that his foundation has been conducting for years in less-developed countries. But while boldly accusing the billionaire of sterilizing millions of women in Africa and paralyzing hundreds of thousands of children in India, she also added a good pinch of GMOs and 5G tech to the dense conspiracy mix of his 'sins.'
The Italian politician also harshly criticized the anti-coronavirus lockdown measures that her country was among the first to impose. According to Cunial, the isolation serves the globalist agenda too, while the Italians have been subjected to a "holy inquisition of false science." "It is our children who will lose more, who are 'raped souls,'" Cunial said. "In this way, the right to school will be granted only with a bracelet to get them used to probation, to get them used to slavery and involuntary treatment." The real goal of all of this is total control. Absolute domination of human beings, transformed into guinea pigs and slaves, violating sovereignty and free will. When hecklers attempted to interrupt her, the president of the chamber called to order - because in a "free parliament anyone has the right to express their opinion" - and scored a round of applause. Allowed to finish her speech, Cunial raised the stakes even further, pleading with the Italian PM to submit Gates to international justice - unless of course Giuseppe Conte is himself part of the global Deep State conspiracy. Next time you receive a phone call from the philanthropist Bill Gates, forward it directly to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
While Bill Gates has often been a target of assorted conspiracy theories in the past, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has ramped up interest in his persona. His quest for a vaccine against the Covid-19, as well as a recent Microsoft patent vaguely describing a device that tracks 'body activity,' caused a lot of fuss. Despite the fact that Bill Gates has technically stepped down from Microsoft's board and is no longer associated with the corporation, while the 'sinister' patent WO/2020/060606 never mentioned any implants, some deduced the billionaire might be planning to sneakily microchip humanity under the guise of coronavirus vaccination... for reasons.
While Cunial's tirade might sound unprecedented, it's not particularly shocking coming from a fierce anti-vax activist who was expelled from the 5-Star Movement party last year over her dissenting views. She also wouldn't be the first high-profile figure to scapegoat Gates. Russian Oscar-winning director Nikita Mikhalkov made headlines earlier this month after he, just like Cunial, sounded the alarm on national TV about an alleged plot to decimate and control the population of the planet.

During a blistering 7 minute speech before the national parliament, Sara Cunial MP slammed Italian President Giuseppe Conte for teaming up with Bill Gates in a "global coup."
Here is a quote from the extraordinary speech:
"We, the people, will build the fires of resistance to such an extent it will not be possible to repress all of us. I ask you, leader (of parliament), to be our spokesperson who will give advice to President Conte: Next time you receive a phone call from the "philanthropist" Bill Gates, forward it directly to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
"If you won't do this for us, tell us how we should define you, the 'friendly lawyer' who takes orders from a criminal," said Cunial.
The Italian member of parliament is not the first person to accuse Gates of being unfit to dictate world health policy.
According to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Bill Gates "landed the job of dictating world health policy with no election, no appointment, no oversight and no accountability" and he is demanding to know how and why this happened, adding "Does anybody else think this is creepy?"
Last month Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slammed Bill Gates and his "messianic conviction that he is ordained to save the world with technology."
"Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft's ambition to control a global vac ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control over global health policy-the spear tip of corporate neo-imperialism," Kennedy Jr. wrote.
"Gates' obsession with vaccines seems fueled by a messianic conviction that he is ordained to save the world with technology and a god-like willingness to experiment with the lives of lesser humans."

Coronavirus: World leaders pledge billions for vaccine fight
More than $8bn (£6.5bn) has been pledged to help develop a coronavirus vaccine and fund research into the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
Some 40 countries and donors took part in an online summit hosted by the EU.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the money would help kickstart unprecedented global co-operation.
She said it showed the true value of unity and humanity, but warned much more would be needed in the days ahead.
In total, more than 30 countries, along with UN and philanthropic bodies and research institutes, made donations.
Donors also included pop singer Madonna, who pledged ?1m ($1.1m), said Ms von der Leyen, who set out the Brussels-led initiative on Friday.
The European Commission pledged $1bn to fund research on a vaccine. Norway matched the European Commission's contribution, and France has pledged ?500m, as have Saudi Arabia and Germany. Japan pledged more than $800m.
The US and Russia did not take part. China, where the virus originated in December, was represented by its ambassador to the European Union.
Of the money raised, $4.4bn will go on vaccine development, some $2bn on the search for a treatment and $1.6bn for producing tests, the EU said.
In her opening remarks at the summit, Ms von der Leyen said everyone must chip in to finance "a truly global endeavour".
"I believe 4 May will mark a turning point in our fight against coronavirus because today the world is coming together," she said.
"The partners are many, the goal is one: to defeat this virus."
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, another co-host of the conference, said the "more we pull together" in sharing expertise, "the faster our scientists will succeed" in developing a vaccine.
Mr Johnson, who spent three nights in intensive care with Covid-19, was to confirm the UK's pledge of £388m for vaccine research, testing and treatment during the conference.
Along with the European Commission, the conference is being co-hosted by the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway and Saudi Arabia.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are also among those who have signed up to the initiative.
In the open letter published in weekend newspapers, the leaders said the funds raised would "kickstart an unprecedented global co-operation between scientists and regulators, industry and governments, international organisations, foundations and healthcare professionals".
"If we can develop a vaccine that is produced by the world, for the whole world, this will be a unique global public good of the 21st Century," they added.

The global response: Working together to help the world get better
Our aim is simple: on the 4th of May we want to raise, in an online pledging conference, an initial 7.5 billion euros (8 billion dollars) to make up the global funding shortfall estimated by the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB) and others.
We will all put our own pledges on the table and we are glad to be joined by partners from the world over. The funds that we raise will kick-start an unprecedented global cooperation between scientists and regulators, industry and governments, international organisations, foundations and health care professionals. We support the World Health Organisation and we are delighted to join forces with experienced organizations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust
Every single euro or dollar that we raise together will be channelled primarily through recognised global health organisations such as CEPI, Gavi, the Vaccines Alliance, as well as the Global Fund and Unitaid into developing and deploying as quickly as possible, for as many as possible, the diagnostics, treatments and vaccines that will help the world overcome the pandemic. If we can develop a vaccine that is produced by the world, for the whole world, this will be an unique global public good of the 21st century. Together with our partners, we commit to making it available, accessible and affordable to all.

"With Georgia, Tennessee and now Texas - the biggest and most economically vital state so far - starting to lift coronavirus restrictions, initial data suggest that the American consumer is throwing caution to the wind and venturing back out to retail 'hotspots' and other locations.
Whether we'll see the same in Europe isn't yet clear, but last night, France, Spain and Portugal released plans for reopening their economies, joining Italian PM Giuseppe Conte, who shared some broad strokes from Italy's plan on Sunday night. On Wednesday, Poland joined the growing number of European states - including the Czech Republic, Germany (sort of), Denmark, Austria and others."

Pope Francis calls for 'obedience' to Italian 'phase 2' restrictions that continue ban on Mass
Pope Francis' comments were seen as opposing Italian bishops who complained against the new regulations
VATICAN CITY, April 22, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) - Pope Francis has called upon Catholics to pray for the "grace of…obedience" regarding Phase 2 of state lockdown regulations.
The pontiff made this remark this morning at the beginning of Mass at his hotel home, the Casa Santa Marta, a day after news that the Italian bishops were unhappy with continuing the ban on public worship featured in the press.
"At this time when measures for leaving the quarantine are beginning, let us pray to the Lord that He will give his people, to all of us, the grace of prudence and obedience, so that the pandemic does not return," the pope said.
The request was subsequently added to Pope Francis' Twitter account.
The Italian media is widely reporting this as a rebuke to the Italian Ecclesiastical Conference (CEI), who criticized the Italian government on Sunday night for extending the ban on public worship into "Phase 2" of its strategy against the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Quotidiano wrote, "'Prudence' and 'obedience', then, are the key words that sound like a command, used by the pontiff right when part of the Church has criticized the actions of the Conte executive."
Il Fatto Quotidiano was even more pointed, saying that "in the debate about the participation of the faithful at mass in Phase 2 ... Pope Francis repudiates the Italian Episcopal Conference and sides with Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte."
"A few words at the beginning of his usual morning Mass at his residence... were enough to disassociate [Pope Francis] totally from the clash between CEI and the government."
Catholic journalist Sandro Magister agreed with the interpretation of the Italian media, saying today that the remark was a humiliation for the CEI.
"The Italian bishops are [now] doubly humiliated, first by the head of the government, and then by the pope," he wrote.
Today Quotidiano published an interview with Bishop Massimo Camisasca of Reggio Emilia, 73, in which he repeated the CEI's assertion that freedom of religion was being compromised.
"The decision of the [government] expresses an arbitrary violation of religious freedom, sanctioned by the Constitution," he said and added that a legal expert had determined that it was also in violation of the Concordat between the Italian state and the Holy See, something that would be addressed after the pandemic.
"At this time, the Church insists on the ability to return to her pastoral activities with the autonomy she deserves under the law."
Funerals are the one religious ceremony allowed by "Phase 2" and then only if 15 people are present. Camisasca stated that he didn't understand why small funerals were permitted and small Mass were not.

Matteo Salvini Attacks PM Conte: 'It Is Time for Italy to Reopen'
ROME - The leader of Italy's principal opposition party has slammed Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte for failing to deliver on promises to liberate Italians from the coronavirus lockdown and get the country working again.
"After 47 days of imprisonment, we can say on behalf of millions of Italians, 'basta.' Let us out, let us earn, let us work, let us make a life again," said Matteo Salvini following the prime minister's disappointing announcement of continuing restrictions for Italy's "phase 2" of the coronavirus lockdown.
"We expected more and better, honestly, as in other European countries, dates, certainties, security, guarantees, and instead we only get vague hints," Mr. Salvini said, before announcing that his party would be proposing a comprehensive plan on May 1 to relaunch Italy.
"On Friday, May 1, we the Lega will present a plan for national, economic, civil, cultural and moral reconstruction," Salvini said.
"If we go on like this, many companies will not reopen, many will file for bankruptcy, thousands of companies will close and jobs will be lost. Why not reopen certain key supply chains safely tomorrow?" he asked.
"They must allow us to return to life and we will do it. Even if we have to leave our homes to recover our freedom we will do it," he said, suggesting that many Italian are ready to take to the streets to peacefully protest the lockdown "with safety precautions and social distancing."
"Hunger and lack of freedom along with the virus? We can't afford it," he said. "First of all, Italy and the Italians."
The former interior minister also attacked Mr. Conte's reversal of position on the need to carry special forms or "autocertificazioni" in order to leave home. On Sunday, Conte said that all Italians must continue to carry the hated papers to justify leaving their residences.
"We understood that self-certifications are still required this week and again for the next, that's enough, we can't take it any longer, they force us to go around again carrying these self-certifications 24 hours a day," Salvini said.
"Friends, the only 'self-certification' you need is that of common sense, otherwise the economy, work, and the life of Italians risk never recovering," he said.
Mr. Salvini also took issue with Conte's silence regarding the restarting of Italy's tourism industry, a mainstay of the Italian economy particularly in the upcoming summer season.
"Not a word on tourism, which makes up 15 percent of our gross domestic product," he said. "Five million Italians live off tourism, many of whom are seasonal workers, and yet not a word from the president of the government on the tourism sector."
"Bars and restaurants will not be able to reopen until June," he continued, "but why not immediately reopen those that are able to guarantee distances, safety, cleanliness, protection of life and health?"
"How many cooks, waitstaff, seasonal workers have no certainty, no paycheck, no unemployment benefits?" Salvini asked. "But their rent doesn't wait, their mortgage payments don't wait, and we get nothing but empty words."
Mr. Salvini also joined the Italian bishops in censuring the prime minister for arbitrarily banning public worship.
"The bishops came out demanding freedom of worship, and I completely agree," Salvini said.
"In Italy there are 8 thousand churches, that can guarantee distances, safety, masks," he said. "They could reopen the doors for boys and girls, helping parents who have to work with closed schools."
"Why not reopen summer camps, scout camps, parishes and oratories, which are looking forward to helping Italians in difficulty?" he asked.

We're opening businesses on May 4, but don't expect 'full freedom for all': Italy's Conte outlines way out of lockdown
In just over a week, Italy plans to reopen some of the previously closed export-oriented businesses, but Italians should not expect any major changes in terms of freedom of movement, the prime minister said.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte gave an overview of how his country, the first in Europe to take a serious blow from the Covid-19 pandemic, plans to return to some level of normalcy. Starting May 4, his government will allow some of the businesses closed six weeks ago to curb the spread of the disease to reopen, he said.
Export-oriented manufacturing that risks being cut out of supply chains, construction businesses, and wholesalers are likely to be given the green light on week one, with others gradually following. Conte also described plans to support the economy through state-guaranteed loans, cutting through undue red tape, and other measures.
However, Italian citizens should not expect life to return to where it was before the outbreak, the prime minister told La Repubblica. While some social distancing restrictions may be revised as the country emerges out of the lockdown, it would be "a revision" and not "abandonment of the rules."
"We are not yet in a position to restore full freedom of movement," he said, adding that whatever relief is given, "it will not be full freedom for all."
Schools will not be reopened in Italy until September, Conte said, adding that remote teaching has worked out well. He also said there will be government action to prevent shortages of masks and price gouging.
The Italian government is still discussing when to allow churches and cemeteries to hold religious services like masses and funerals. The fact that people cannot properly send off their deceased loved ones and get closure is "personally particularly painful," Conte said.
Italy is among the nations most affected by Covid-19, with a death toll of over 26,000, which is surpassed only by that of the United States. Its healthcare system was overwhelmed by the outbreak, while other EU members dragged their feet on assisting Rome. The roadmap for lifting the lockdown will be revealed to the public early next week, the prime minister said in the interview.

I will thus let the revised notables stand. This is an exception circumstance, not a typical bread. And this baker will NOT be routinely changing pb notables.

EU could fail over outbreak, warns Italy's Giuseppe Conte
3 hours ago
"Media captionItalian PM Giuseppe Conte said he might begin to relax some measures by the end of this month
Italy's prime minister has told the BBC that the European Union risks failing as a project in the coronavirus crisis.
Giuseppe Conte says the EU must act in an adequate and co-ordinated way to help countries worst hit by the virus.
Mr Conte says the European Union needs to rise to the challenge of what he calls "the biggest test since the Second World War".
This was his first interview with the UK broadcast media since the pandemic exploded in Italy seven weeks ago.
He was speaking as Italy and some other EU countries try to push more frugal members of the bloc to issue so-called "corona bonds" - sharing debt that all EU nations would help to pay off. The Netherlands in particular has opposed the idea, leading to a clash between finance ministers of the eurozone."

Q Research General #11097: Presidential Letters are Tasty Edition
Solidarity (in)action: EU Commission head apologizes to Italy, pledges ?100bn Covid-19 relief fund... that may not happen
EU Commission chief apologized to Italy for the bloc's sloppy coronavirus response, pledging ?100 billion to help one of the worst-hit nations. Yet the help might never arrive, as mutualizing debt is opposed by EU fat cats.
"Today Europe is mobilizing alongside Italy. Unfortunately, this has not always been the case," Ursula von der Leyen said in a letter published by Italy's La Repubblica newspaper on Thursday.
It must be recognized that in the early days of the crisis, in the face of the need for a common European response, too many have thought only of their own home problems.
After apologizing for the inaction, however, the EU Commission chief proceeded to praising the 'help' provided to Italy by the bloc's members. "In the past month, the European Commission has left no stone unturned to help Italy," she insisted.
The apology left Italian politicians unimpressed, as they urged the EU not only to talk, but to prove it is actually a union. Apparently, Rome did not notice the 'help' von der Leyen bragged about.
"I believe that everyone will eventually realize even in those countries that a shared, orderly, strong and rapid European response is the only solution," Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte told the Spanish television La Sexta . "A slow response would be a useless response."
A similar response came from Matteo Salvini, head of the opposition League, Italy's most popular political party. He took to Twitter to mock the apology from the EU bigwig.

How disinformation really works: Activists linked to pro-NATO think tank smear Russian Covid-19 aid to Italy
With over 11,000 deaths and more than 100,000 cases of Covid-19, Italy is currently a country which feels under siege. But this is no impediment to the think tank racket twisting an offer of support for its propaganda purposes.
Here's what happened. The weekend before last, Vladimir Putin called Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. During the conversation, Conte asked for help, in fighting coronavirus, according to the Kremlin readout which hasn't been contradicted by Italian officials.
Let's be clear from the outset, there was undoubtably a strong PR, as well as practical, element to Russia's assistance. However, there were also advantages to Rome from this approach, as the move may have helped to concentrate a few minds among its traditional allies.
Moscow sent teams of "doctors, protective gear and medical equipment" to the stricken country. The detail included 100 military virologists and epidemiologists, along with eight medical teams, according to Russian news outlets. Most importantly, it delivered 600 ventilators.

Italy Virus Deaths Fall, But Officials Warn the Worst Is Not Behind Them
Italy recorded the second straight day of a drop in the number of new COVID-19 cases. The number of day-to-day deaths also decreased for the second day in a row.
But Italian health officials are saying that the small decrease could be a statistical anomaly and not an indication that the country has turned the corner on fighting the Chinese virus.
Meanwhile, Italian labor unions went on strike against inadequate health and safety measures being taken by the government and private companies.
CNBC:
The number of deaths rose by 601 on Monday, the smallest increase in four days, according to data from the Italian authorities. The number of new confirmed cases also slowed on Monday. These figures have raised expectations that the worse could be over for the country with the highest number of deaths from the virus worldwide.
However, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said Monday that Italy had not yet reached the "most acute phase" of the infection.
"It is early to say" when this crisis will be over, Conte told the newspaper La Stampa Monday.
One official is saying it's going to get worse before it gets better.
The Hill:
One of Italy's national health officials, Silvio Brusaferro, warned against any optimism, saying the decrease in new cases reflected actions taken at the beginning of the month.
"We need more consecutive results to confirm the trend, to be more certain that we are in a favorable situation," Brusaferro said, according to the AP.
And it wouldn't be a crisis without a strike by the Italian labor unions. In this instance, they may have a case. Prime Minister Conte has left it up to individual companies whether to close their doors and send the workers home and there appear to be some industries that are not only resisting the call to close but are exposing their workers to risk of disease.
However, metalworkers and bank unions have vowed to strike on Wednesday. They are demanding more stringent measures for the factories that are still open and for bank employees, who they say do not have enough masks, gloves or disinfectant.
"As a result of the amateurish management of the recent decision to impose a shutdown of all non-essential economic activities, the government has managed to alienate both trade unions and business groups," Wolfgango Piccoli, co-president of the research firm Teneo, said in an email Monday.
He added that the current coronavirus crisis was making the political atmosphere "increasingly toxic."
Sounds familiar.
The tragedy in Italy won't happen here – as long as we continue to abide by restrictions recommended by health officials. Italy started late and failed to act aggressively to contain the virus. They are now paying the price for their government's hesitation and mismanagement.

Russia Deploys Military Virologists & Equipment To Italy After Putin Phone Call
Russia's Defense Ministry announced over the weekend that starting Sunday the military will deploy medical help to hard-hit Italy, the coronavirus epicenter in Europe which has seen its death toll take record jumps in the past days, now approaching 5,000 killed from the disease.
The Kremlin said the emergency aid was initiated on orders from President Vladimir Putin after he spoke with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on Saturday, and will include eight mobile brigades of military medics and special disinfection vehicles.
The operation will see Russia's top military specialists in virology and epidemics deploy to the hardest hit regions of Italy. The doctors and specialized equipment is being flown on nine Il-76 aircraft from an airfield outside Moscow.

Q Research General #10748: BRING ON THE NIGHTSHIFT - BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE USMC Edition
Denmark locks down ENTIRE COUNTRY in response to coronavirus pandemic
In a surprise announcement, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark said the country is imposing a lockdown to contain its rapidly rising number of coronavirus cases. Frederiksen made the announcement during a press conference on Wednesday.
According to Frederiksen, public sector employees who do not perform critical functions will be sent home on paid leave, while those who are employed in the private sector will be encouraged to work from home.
All schools and universities in the Scandinavian nation will also be shut down, Frederiksen said during her address.
In addition, Frederiksen also imposed restrictions on events, with local media reporting that events seen to attract more than 100 participants will be banned - a major decrease compared to the original limit of 1,000.
"We need to limit activity in society as much as possible, without letting our society grind to a halt," Frederiksen said.
According to Frederiksen, their decision to enact strict impositions and tough measures will have a significant impact on their economy.
"We will not get through this as a country without a cost. Businesses will suffer losses and people will lose their jobs. The government will do what it can to help," Frederiksen said, noting that their current situation necessitated the enactment of such measures.
"Under normal circumstances, a government would not present such far-reaching measures without having all the solutions ready for the many Danes concerned, but we are in an extraordinary situation," Frederiksen stated.
"This will have huge consequences, but the alternative would be far worse," she said, adding that those who are healthy have a shared responsibility to protect the more vulnerable members of their population.
"Everyone who is healthy, we have a great responsibility towards the vulnerable," she added. (Related: Coronavirus isn't the flu and it's this response that makes the US unprepared, health expert warns)
Those seen to be at high risk for COVID-19 - the disease caused by the new coronavirus which originated from Wuhan in China before spreading across other parts of the world - are those who are aged 60 and above, as well as those with compromised immune systems and chronic illnesses.
Søren Brostrøm, director of The Danish Health Authority, said that he expects the number of cases to increase rapidly in the coming days and weeks.
As of press time, 514 people, of which two are in critical condition, have been confirmed to be infected with the deadly virus as of Wednesday-a ten-fold increase in the figures they posted Monday. According to Health Minister Magnus Heunicke this is the "most dramatic increase seen in Europe".
Sweden, which is separated from Denmark by the Oresund strait, has around 460 confirmed cases, with its first death reported Wednesday. The country has banned public gatherings of more than 500 people to stop the spread of the disease.
Italy, which has 12,462 confirmed coronavirus infections and 827 deaths-the highest in Europe as of press time-enforced a lockdown, Tuesday. However, following the World Health Organization's (WHO) announcement declaring the COVID-19 outbreak as a global pandemic, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has announced that the nation needed to "go another step" further.
Conte, through an announcement made on Facebook, said only pharmacies, groceries and other establishments selling "essential items" will remain open to the public for the entirety of the lockdown. This will be in addition to the existing measures, such as travel restrictions, enforced social distances and mandatory self-isolation for anyone who exhibits flu-like symptoms.
As of press time, the novel coronavirus has infected 126,136 and left 4,630 dead globally.

Italian Prime Minister Orders Nationwide Closure of All Stores, Except Pharmacies and Food
The total number of cases of novel coronavirus infection (COVID-2019) in Italy has increased by 2,000 in the past 24 hours, exceeding 12,400, while the number of the dead increased by 196 to 827, according to the National Civil Protection Agency.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte late on Wednesday ordered an increase in efforts to tackle the spread of the deadly outbreak. Conte announced new measures in addition to those imposed earlier, including a restriction on free movement across the nation.
The new decree calls for the closure of all shops across the nation, excepting pharmacies and food stores. The order also stipulates the closure of clubs, bars, restaurants, hairdressers and eateries that cannot otherwise guarantee a safe distance of at least one meter between customers and visitors.
According to Conte, authorities must now suspend the work of all businesses not essential for production and the economy. Conte on Wednesday promised that he would not tighten measures further, even if the number of new coronavirus cases continues to rise.
Conte said that the effect of "this great effort" would only become visible over the next couple of weeks.
Earlier in the day, Conte announced that Italy would allocate an additional 25 billion euros ($28 billion) to fight the coronavirus disease. Conte also stated that the Italian government was ready to review a request by the authorities of the country's northern regions, including virus-hit Lombardy, to tighten quarantine measures amid the outbreak.
Italian Industry Minister Stefano Patuanelli vowed that the government was preparing a package of economic measures to support families and businesses amid the coronavirus crisis. The package would temporarily suspend payments of utility bills, taxes and mortgages, according to the minister.
On a global scale, there are currently over 122,000 confirmed cases, with nearly 81,000 in mainland China alone. The total number of global deaths reached 4,550 as of Wednesday, and over 66,000 recoveries have been reported.
World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has now named the coronavirus a pandemic.

Italy Suspends Mortgage Payments, Businesses Dying As Panicked Residents Hoard Food
Italy has suspended payments on mortgages due to the coronavirus outbreak as more than 9,000 people have been infected and over 460 have died, the government announced on Tuesday.
When asked about halting mortgage payments on Radio Anch'io, deputy economic minister Laura Castelli said "Yes, that will be the case, for individuals and households," according to The Independent.
Meanwhile, panicked residents crammed into supermarkets to stock up as the entire country entered a lockdown on Tuesday morning, while Italian streets were virtually empty after the government ordered people to avoid travel except for "urgent, verifiable work situations and emergencies or health reasons," according to the Daily Mail.
Tourist favourites including Milan's shopping galleries, Rome's Spanish Steps and Vatican's St Peter's Square were all but deserted today after the drastic coronavirus measures were extended to the entire country last night.
Panic-buyers were packing into supermarkets this morning with queues stretching outside because of a rule that demands a 3ft gap between shoppers - meaning only a limited number can go inside at once.
In Naples, police were roaming the streets with a loudhailer last night to warn people to 'stay indoors, avoid unnecessary outings and avoid crowded places' because of the 'coronavirus emergency'.
Prime minister Giuseppe Conte declared last night that 'everyone must give up something to protect the health of citizens.' -Daily Mail
Businesses are obviously suffering from the impact of the lockdown, as the empty streets of Rome have turned quiet. Bars and restaurants are only allowed to be open between 6am and 6pm, and must keep customers a minimum distance of 1 meter (3.2 feet) apart, according to SBS. Moreover, museums and cultural venues are closed, along with nightclubs, cinemas, theaters and casinos. Department stores must close on public holidays and the day before public holidays.
The flow-on effect has been immediate.
Raffaello Sasson's family has owned a clothing shop in Rome since 1970 but he says conditions have never been so dire.
"This is right now much worse than 11th of September and Chernobyl put together. This is the worst we have seen, right now." -SBS
"The last two weeks have been tragic, in the historic centre here, not even a single tourist.We have been here for 15 years and it's never happened," said restaurant owner Francesco Massotte, whose high-end eatery typically books people months in advance.
Outside Trevi Fountain, tourists saw signs warning of interactions with others.
"I was eating lunch today and in the restaurant, there was a sign saying 'stay away from people, sit a metre away from other people'," one man told SBS.
At least they won't have to pay their mortgages for a while.

Italy to shutter ALL businesses besides pharmacies & grocery stores as coronavirus outbreak continues to spread
Italy will shut down most businesses across the country amid a fast-spreading coronavirus outbreak, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said, leaving only pharmacies, food markets and certain "essential" factories open.
Bars, hair salons, restaurants and all other businesses not necessary for production will be forced to close, Conte said in a televised address on Wednesday. The move comes as Rome steps up containment measures to combat the spread of the lethal coronavirus, including nationwide travel restrictions.
"We will only be able to see the effects of this great effort in a couple of weeks," the prime minister said, later noting the new measures would come into effect on Thursday and remain in place until March 25.

China to Provide Assistance to Italy, Ready to Send Experts to Fight COVID-19 - Minister
China will provide humanitarian assistance to Italy and is ready to send a team of specialists to assist the Italian side in combating the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in a telephone conversation with his Italian counterpart Luigi Di Maio.
"We will not forget the support Italy provided to China at a difficult time for us during the epidemic. Now we are also ready to stand firmly next to the Italian people. Despite the fact that China itself has a great need for medical supplies, we will overcome difficulties and will provide Italy with humanitarian aid in the form of medical masks and other necessary medical supplies", Wang said.
"We will boost exports of necessary goods and equipment to Italy", he said.
Wang said that if the Italian side needed, China was ready to send a group of medical experts to help combat the spread of the virus.
More than 100,000 people have already been infected with COVID-19 in the world, the majority have recovered, and about 4,000 have died. The coronavirus outbreak was first registered in December 2019 in China's Wuhan. In Europe, the most coronavirus-affected country is Italy.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte introduced earlier tough measures, including movement restriction due to an outbreak of the novel coronavirus.
More than 9,100 COVID-19 cases have been registered in Italy; 724 people have already recovered, 463 have died.

Coronavirus death toll in Italy jumps to 631 from 463 in a day, 10,000+ cases throughout the country
Another 168 people in Italy have died of the COVID-19 coronavirus, bringing the death toll to 631, while the total number of cases rose by over ten percent to 10,149. The entire country is locked down in quarantine.
Tuesday's jump in the deaths, from the previous record of 463, represents a 36 percent rise and the largest in absolute numbers since the infection was first noticed on February 21, the Civil Protection Agency said.
Some 877 patients were in intensive care, up from 733 on Monday. The number of patients who recovered has also risen, however, and stood at 1,004 on Tuesday as opposed to 724 the day before.
The rising numbers come on the day the nation-wide quarantine imposed by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte went into effect, closing off Italy's borders. All public gatherings, including sporting events, have been banned and civilian movement has been restricted. Schools and universities have been shuttered through April 3.
The novel coronavirus, dubbed COVID-19, first appeared in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019. Most of the fatalities worldwide have been in China so far, but Italy and South Korea have been the next hardest-hit. The virus causes severe pneumonia that can be lethal to the elderly and people with underlying medical conditions.

30-year Treasury yield tumbles below 1% after oil and coronavirus worries rout stocks
Four Handle on US Treasury Note-10 year
U.S. Treasury yields fell Monday morning as a breakdown in talks between major oil exporters sparked a sharp decline in oil prices, sending stocks and inflation expectations lower.
The rising number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. also threatened to hamper consumer demand, the linchpin of the U.S. economy.
What are Treasurys doing?
The 10-year Treasury note yield TMUBMUSD10Y, 0.425% fell 29.2 basis points to 0.415%, hitting an intraday record low of 0.339% in overnight trading, while the 2-year note rate TMUBMUSD02Y, 0.278% was down 20.2 basis points to 0.275%.
The 30-year bond yield TMUBMUSD30Y, 0.854% slipped 37.9 basis points to 0.836%, a record. Bond prices move in the opposite direction of yields. All three maturities are trading below 1% for the first time in history.
What's driving Treasurys?
Talks between Russia and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries failed to result in an agreement on crude production cuts. In response, Saudi Arabia slashed crude prices and was looking to ramp up production, a move that would cut into Russia's market share. The disagreement between the major oil exporters sparked the biggest one-day slump in crude oil prices since the Gulf War, and sent global equity markets lower. Safe-haven assets like Treasurys saw sharp bidding, with the longer-term maturities seeing the sharpest rally as energy prices are closely tied to inflation expectations.
Futures for the S&P 500 SPX, -1.70% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.98% plunged 5%, triggering circuit-breakers.
The 10-year break-even rate, expectations for consumer prices as indicated by trading for Treasury inflation-protected securities, fell to its lowest level since the middle of 2009.
Worries around the coronavirus also kept investors on edge, as the growing number of confirmed cases in Western Europe along with the U.S. threatened to slow growth. Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte signed a decree limiting community interaction for nearly five weeks in parts of Northern Italy.
Traders on the fed-fund futures markets are now expecting a one-in-two chance of the U.S. central bank cutting interest rates all the way to zero by Decembersee cap#3
As Treasury's rally, a rush of government bond supply this weekend across the 3-year, 10-year, and 30-year maturities. The decline in yields could serve as a test of demand, as haven appetite appears to overwhelm the need for income from government paper.

Diocese of Rome cancels all public Masses, announces day of fasting and prayer
https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/diocese-of-rome-cancels-all-public-masses-announces-day-of-fasting-and-prayer-54167
Rome, Italy, Mar 8, 2020 / 01:30 pm (CNA).- The Diocese of Rome has canceled all public Masses until April 3 in response to the coronavirus outbreak. The announcement by the vicar general of the diocese, published Sunday evening, follows a decree by the Italian government suspending all public religious ceremonies.
"The Church of Rome ... assumes an attitude of full responsibility towards the community in the awareness that protection from contagion requires even drastic measures, especially in interpersonal contact. Therefore, until the same date of April 3, the communal liturgical celebrations are suspended," Cardinal Angelo De Donatis, vicar general of Rome, said in a statement March 8.
"The season of Lent helps us to live this great trial evangelically. I bless you by entrusting you all to Our Lady of Divine Love," the vicar general said.
Priests living in Rome and Vatican City can continue to offer Mass in private. Parishes in Rome will remain open for personal prayer before the tabernacle, the diocese said.
The announcement by the Rome diocese mirrors national action adopted by the Italian bishops' conference.
The conference also issued a statement March 8 explaining that the Italian government's decree "suspends civil and religious ceremonies, including funeral ceremonies, throughout the country until Friday, 3 April."
"The interpretation provided by the government strictly includes the Holy Masses and the funeral rites among the 'religious ceremonies.' It is a highly restrictive passage, the reception of which coincides with suffering and difficulty among the pastors, priests and faithful," the bishops said.
"The acceptance of the decree is mediated solely by the desire to do its part, also in this situation, to contribute to the protection of public health," the conference stated.
Videos of Pope Francis' private daily Mass, offered at his Vatican City residence in Casa Santa Marta, will be live streamed by Vatican News on YouTube beginning March 9.
The video broadcast will "allow those who wish to follow the celebrations united in prayer with the Bishop of Rome," Holy See Press Office Director Matteo Bruni said Sunday.
Eighty-four cases of coronavirus have been documented in Lazio, the region surrounding Rome, as of March 8. In Italy, 7,375 people have contracted the virus, and 366 people have died, according to the Ministry of Health.
The Diocese of Rome has called on all Catholics in Rome to observe a day of fasting and prayer for the victims of coronavirus on March 11, and invited people to tune into a special televised Mass.
"I heard the cry of our city, of Italy and of the world, at this particular moment we are experiencing. It is a situation we are not used to, that worries us, but above all we are now called to live with the strength of faith, the certainty of hope, the joy of charity," Cardinal Donatis, the vicar general of the Diocese of Rome, wrote in a letter March 6.
"In addition to fasting ... we want to be close, with a sign of almsgiving by collecting offerings that we will donate in support of the health personnel who are spending generously and sacrifice in the care of the sick," he said.
Daily Masses were canceled earlier this week in Milan, Venice, Bologna, and other northern Italian regions, where the majority of Covid-19 cases have occurred.
The Italian government imposed a strict quarantine on March 8 for northern and central regions of Italy, including Milan and Venice.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte also announced the closure of museums, movie theaters, concerts, gyms, and archaeological sites throughout the country. All schools and universities will also remain closed.
The Vatican confirmed on March 8 that there has only been one positive diagnosis of Covid-19 within Vatican City – a person who tested positive on March 5 during a pre-employment medical examination in the Vatican Health and Hygiene clinic.
Five people who were in close contact with this person are in a precautionary quarantine, according to the Holy See Press Office. The Vatican Museums are closed until April 3.
Pope Francis prayed for those suffering from the coronavirus epidemic during his Angelus address in a video streamed live to St. Peter's Square March 8.
"I am close in prayer to people suffering from the current coronavirus epidemic, and to all those who are caring for them," he said.
"I join my brother bishops in encouraging the faithful to live this difficult moment with the strength of faith, the certainty of hope and the fervor of charity," Pope Francis said.

Italy Declares State of Emergency Over Wuhan Coronavirus
The Italian Council of Ministers has declared a state of emergency due to the risk to public health posed by the spread of the coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China.
The council stated there was now a "declaration of the state of emergency as a consequence of the health risk associated with the onset of pathologies deriving from transmissible viral agents," Il Giornale reports.
Among the measures enacted by the declaration are 5 million euros that will be allocated toward handling cases of the virus.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte stated earlier this week that the country had also cancelled all air travel between Italy and China.
"We are the first country in the European Union that adopts a precautionary measure of this kind," he said.
Conte went on to add that despite the new measures, members of the public should not be alarmed, claiming "there is no reason to create panic and social alarm."
The moves come after a cruise ship with 7,000 passengers on board was quarantined this week by Italian authorities after a 54-year-old woman and her partner showed possible signs of being infected with the coronavirus.
Italian authorities have also confirmed two cases of the virus among Chinese tourists who are currently being quarantined in one of Italy's infectious disease hospitals.
Meanwhile, a bar in a tourist area of Rome has sparked controversy for putting up a sign banning all people from China from entering their premises.
The bar, which is just a short distance from the hotel where the Chinese couple diagnosed with the virus were staying, displayed signs in English, Mandarin, and Japanese saying: "Given the latest international security measures, all people coming from China are not allowed to have access in this place. We apologise for the inconvenience."
Police were called and warned that the sign could be discriminatory but the owners of the establishment argued they were just trying to protect the health of their guests.
Elsewhere in Europe, members of the Chinese and Asian communities have slammed reactions to the coronavirus as racist.
In France, the hashtag "JeNeSuisPasUnVirus" - "I'm not a virus" - was used to highlight perceived racism.

Libyan Oil Exports Blocked Ahead of Berlin Peace Conference
Libya declares Force Majeure as output cut by 800,000 barrels. Germany hosting conference aimed at ending country's civil war.
Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar blocked oil exports at ports under his control, slashing output by more than half and posing a potential setback for an international conference on Sunday that aims to broker an end to a civil war in the OPEC nation.
As a result of the blockage of ports in the central and eastern parts of the country, oil output will fall by about 800,000 barrels a day, costing $55 million daily, the National Oil Corp. said in a statement on Saturday. The NOC declared Force Majeure, which can allow Libya, which holds Africa's largest-proven oil reserves, to legally suspend delivery contracts. The show of force comes as Haftar prepares to attend an international conference in Berlin hosted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel where the general will face pressure to agree to a cease-fire. Haftar, whose troops have been bogged down in the southern suburbs of the capital of Tripoli, has so far refused efforts to end his offensive and agree to a compromise. The ports closure is an attempt by Haftar to condition the negotiations in Berlin," said Arturo Varvelli, head of the Rome office and a senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. "It could be counterproductive as it could make the Europeans, who are the largest consumers of Libyan oil, very upset."
By shutting down the oil fields, Haftar is denying a key source of revenue to the internationally elected government of Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj. Funds from oil production go the country's central bank and have been used by Tripoli to buy weapons for its defense.
An earlier round of peace talks held in Russia this week broke down after Haftar rejected a proposed truce agreement that had already been signed by Sarraj. The commander abandoned Moscow early Tuesday after refusing to stamp the deal that had been brokered by Russia and Turkey, which supports Sarraj's government. Russian mercenaries back Haftar's forces, as do Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. Former colonial power Italy also has a military training mission numbering several hundred troops in the country. Turkish soldiers are training forces loyal to Sarraj, and Turkish-backed Syrian rebels have also joined the fray.
Russia and Turkey, which have assumed increasingly assertive roles in the Libyan conflict as they jockey for influence in the Mediterranean, brought Libya's feuding leaders to the talks after concluding their intervention in the country was too costly.
Haftar will face additional pressure at the Berlin conference. Apart from Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish Leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, French President Emmanuel Macron, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo will also be on hand.

Italian PM names new ministers, sets policy agenda
ROME (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte named two new ministers on Saturday to replace his education minister who recently resigned and outlined an ambitious agenda for next year including reform of the justice system and state bureaucracy.
In a three-hour year-end news conference, Conte accused right-wing opposition leader Matteo Salvini of "insidious" political behavior and appealed for unity from the fractious coalition backing his own government.
"Politics doesn't need conflicts. Polemics and marking out our differences don't help us," Conte said in reference to the frequent bickering between the 5-Star Movement, the center-left Democratic Party (PD) and smaller centrist and leftist parties.
Filling the gap left after Education Minister Lorenzo Fioramonti from the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement quit on Wednesday complaining of insufficient funding, Conte said he was dividing the ministry into two. He named Lucia Azzolina, also from 5-Star and previously Fioramonti's junior minister, as the new minister for schools, and named a non-party technocrat Gaetano Manfredi, the rector of Naples University, as minister for universities and research.
Three 5-Star senators quit this month to join Salvini's League party and some politicians say other lawmakers from the increasingly divided movement are ready to join a new parliamentary group led by Fioramonti but loyal to Conte. The prime minister said if any such moves were afoot he disapproved of them and had nothing to do with them.
"I don't want parliamentarians using my name to form a new group that would only make the government less stable," he said.

Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte issued a joint statement after their meeting in Brussels to discuss latest developments in Libya, on the sidelines of an EU summit.
"The leaders call on all Libyan and international parties to refrain from taking military action, genuinely commit to a comprehensive and lasting cessation of hostilities and re-engage into a credible UN-led negotiation," the statement said.
The joint statement came after eastern Libya-based commander Khalifa Haftar announced that he would launch a new offensive to capture the capital Tripoli.
Merkel, Macron and Conte stressed that a solution to the Libya conflict could only come through a political solution, and underlined their full support for the UN Special Envoy Ghassan Salame's efforts for a settlement.
They also called for stronger efforts to gather a long-planned international conference for a political solution to the Libyan conflict.

Shifty Schiff Obtained Rudy Giuliani's Phone Records A Day After AG Barr and US Attorney Durham Traveled to Rome - What Was He After?
Representative Adam Schiff from California reported earlier this week that he had obtained the phone records of President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani. The date of the phone records shows as September 30th. This also happens to be the Monday after the weekend that AG Barr and his US Attorney Durham went to Rome. What was Schiff after?
We discussed AG Barr's and US Attorney John Durham's meetings with Italians earlier this year. Bloomberg had reported:
Italy's spy chief Gennaro Vecchione met twice in August with U.S. Attorney General William Barr and prosecutor John Durham to help an investigation into the scandal involving President Donald Trump's possible ties to Russia, one of Italy's leading newspapers reported.
The first meeting took place on Aug. 15 at the U.S. Embassy in Rome, according to an article published Sunday by La Repubblica newspaper. The second happened on Aug. 27 and involved Vecchione, the head of Italy's Department of Information Security, as well as the chiefs of Italy's internal and external security agencies.
Both meetings were authorized by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, Corriere della Sera reported earlier this week...
...During the first meeting, Barr and Durham asked Vecchione to reveal the whereabouts of Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud, according to La Repubblica...
...According to La Repubblica, Barr and Durham also demanded proof that Italy, led at the time by Matteo Renzi, took part in the international conspiracy to discredit Trump's campaign. In an interview published Sunday by La Stampa, Renzi dismissed the allegation as a "farce" and says he never met Mifsud.
At the Aug. 27 meeting with Barr and Durham, the heads of Italy's security services had nothing to say to support the theory, according to La Repubblica - despite Vecchione's initial promises.
We don't know where the August 27th meeting took place but later Jeff Carlson at the Markets Work reported that AG Barr and US Attorney Durham traveled to Rome on August 15th and September 27th -
John Durham, the U.S. attorney tasked with investigating the origins of the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign in 2016, is expected to seek an interview with former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper following an expansion of his investigation.
It was reportedly the meetings Durham and Attorney General William Barr recently had in Rome-where they obtained new evidence-that were the impetus for the broadening of the scope of the probe.
According to Fox News' Catherine Herridge, her sources told her that Durham is now "very interested to question" Brennan and Clapper.
According to Herridge, the meetings "took place on Aug. 15 and Sept. 27, 2019, in Rome," and that it was during one or both of these trips, that Barr and Durham "gathered new evidence."
Ironically, Representative Adam Schiff reported this past week phone records related to President Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani recorded on the Monday after Barr and Durham's trip to Italy, Monday September 30th, 2019.

Salvini Accuses Leftist Govt of Giving Away Italian Sovereignty to EU
Populist League (Lega) leader Matteo Salvini has accused Italian prime minister Giuseppe Conte of handing over Italian sovereignty to the European Union with changes to an EU bailout fund.
The reform of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), a bailout fund that gives emergency loans to countries and banks, has been slammed by Salvini and the League, who have argued that the reform could force Italy to restructure debt and have subsequent negative effects, Reuters reports.
On Friday, Salvini stated that the reform was a danger for Italian sovereignty and that the real beneficiary would be Germany, which has banks in crisis, such as Deutschebank which recently laid off a large section of its workforce after losing billions of euros this year.
The League leader went as far as to address President Sergio Mattarella directly, stating that if Prime Minister Conte signs the treaty to go ahead with the reform "it would sanction a sale of unbalanced national sovereignty."

'Puberty Is Not a Disease': Italian Council Moves to Ban Gender-Bending Drugs For Kids
The regional council of Friuli Venezia Giulia, an autonomous region in northeastern Italy, approved a motion calling on the national government to prohibit so-called puberty-blocking drugs used in so-called reassignment treatment for gender-confused children.
In a July 17 move by a center-right majority led by the League party, the Friuli Venezia Giulia regional council approved a motion calling on Italy's national government to prohibit the prescription of drugs that prevent normal sexual development of adolescents.
The League's leader is Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, who is one of the three members in Italy's coalition government that includes Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio of the Five Star Party (M5S) and Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. The leftist parties in the regional council, including M5S, voted against the motion.
According to the council's motion, "puberty is not a disease" and thus should not be prevented with surgery and medications that can produce irreversible effects. It also noted the long-term negative effects of drugs containing triptorelin.
"There is no evidence, in fact," reads the motion, "on the effective full restoration of fertility in the case of withdrawal from treatment." It cites data circulated by the American College of Pediatricians, which stated that as many as 98% of minors will outgrow their gender dysphoria (a feeling that one's biological sex does not accord with one's gender expression) after having passed through puberty naturally.

'Puberty is not a disease': Italian council moves to ban gender-bending drugs for kids

It cites data circulated by the American College of Pediatricians, which stated that as many as 98% of minors will outgrow their gender dysphoria (a feeling that one's biological sex does not accord with one's gender expression) after having passed through puberty naturally.
"We express opposition to the use of this drug," said Mauro Bordin, according to VoceControCorrente. Bordin, who represents the League on the council and was a signatory of the motion, went on to say there are not enough clinical studies, "especially regarding the possible long-term negative effects and why blocking puberty pharmacologically could cause a misalignment in [adolescent] physical and cognitive development." He said puberty-blockers could even compromise those parts of the brain that contribute to the definition of sexual identity, which also involve both environmental and educational factors.
Bordin said the motion is not an "ideological position, but a proposal of common sense in the exclusive interest of the health of children throughout Italy." Critics have long warned against medical interventions for persons experiencing gender dysphoria. For example, Dr. Michelle Cretella of the American College of Pediatricians said in 2017, "Transgenderism is a psychological disorder, not a biological one." She added, "Consequently, we expect transgenderism and its associated medical procedures to increase as society increasingly promotes this lifestyle." Regarding a move by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons to coin the term "gender confirmation surgery," she said, "Linguistic engineering precedes and accompanies social engineering." Cretella went on to say, "Transgender activist physicians realize that sex reassignment surgery is a misnomer. In other words, surgery cannot change a person's sex. By renaming sex reassignment surgery gender confirming surgery, they give the impression that they are affirming an inborn trait and further the innate immutable transgender myth."

Merkel accuses Italy's Lega party of criminal collusion with Russia - "Ridiculous fantasy" says Salvini
Relations between Moscow and EU's right-wing political parties are a cause for concern, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said during a press conference in Berlin last week.
"Some questions arise here", she stated. "We have constantly monitored the very strong support that right-leaning parties have received from Russia in one way or the other."
"This is a cause for concern", she stressed, according to Russian news agency TASS.
She also mentioned the scandal regarding the alleged financing of Italy's Lega party by Russia, noting that the Italian side must investigate the allegations in detail.
"Clarification is up to Italy", she added. "I think that the Italian parliament or others will ask for clarification on the affair".
Milan's prosecution launched a case based on the publications on the US BuzzFeed website and in the Italian L'Espresso weekly news magazine shedding light on the alleged financing Lega was receiving from Russia, qualifying the case as international corruption.
The main suspect in the case is one of the associates of Italy's Deputy PM Matteo Salvini, head of the Lombardy-Russia Association Gianluca Savoini.
According to the prosecution, his voice can be heard on the BuzzFeed published audio recording of an alleged conversation with Russian entrepreneurs with ties to the Kremlin, during which a possible oil supply contract was discussed.<
Premier Giuseppe Conte has said he is willing to report to the Senate on July 24 over suspicions a person close to the Lega party discussed taking funding via oil kickbacks from Russia.
Deputy Premier, Interior Minister and Lega leader Matteo Salvini has refused to report to parliament specifically about this case, saying he is willing to talk about everything during his regular question-time session.<
Salvini denies that his party has taken a rouble from the Russians and described the case as "ridiculous".
On Wednesday Salvini reiterated that he would not make time for a session specifically on the affair. "I don't report on fantasy", he said. However, he has since said he may discuss the case of one of his associates with parliament before Premier Conte does.
Gianluca Savoini has denied the allegations as well.

Libya's Haftar says wants to control Tripoli, not oil
Commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA) General Khalifa Haftar said yesterday that his main focus is taking control of the Libyan capital Tripoli and expelling militias from the city, explaining that he does not only care about the army's exportation of oil.
In a letter to US news agency Bloomberg, Haftar said that the Tripoli-based National Oil Corporation currently enjoys exclusive export rights for Libyan crude oil.
Haftar denied accusations that the LNA seized the airports of the oil company, but stressed the right to use them if necessary. He also vowed to continue to protect all oil facilities, according to Libyan newspaper Al-Marsad.
He did, however, urge the state oil producer not to use its resources to "support terrorists and armed militias, and to avoid interfering" with his army or working against it.
"The army is not a trader. It does not legally or illegally sell oil," Haftar explained, adding: "The biggest concern of some countries, especially those concerned with the global economy, is the impact of our military operations on oil production, but the reality has proved that these fears are unjustified."
Meanwhile, spokesman for the LNA Major General Ahmed Al-Mismari announced on Thursday via his official Facebook page that "the ground defence shot down an L39 aircraft, resulting in the death of its commander after taking off from the Air Academy Misurata to raid security officers in the city of Tarhunah".
Russian President Vladimir Putin has stressed the need for a ceasefire in Libya and the start of dialogue between parties, blaming the 2011 bombing of the country by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) for the current situation in Libya.
"We have agreed to continue coordination to resolve the crisis in Libya, where the situation is unfortunately deteriorating; terrorist activity is growing and the number of victims is increasing," Putin said during a joint news conference with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
"In general, we need to remember how things started and who ruined the situation in Libya. I suppose this was a NATO decision when the European aircrafts bombed Libya. This resulted in the destruction of Libya and we can see chaos and conflict among different armed groups," Putin added, expressing his concern about the flow of extremist fighters from Syria's Idlib to Libya and pointing out that this constitutes a threat to everyone.
Sources from Sky News Arabia claim that the transfer of extremist fighters from Syria's Idlib to Libya is carried out via Turkish territories by Libyan Wings Airlines airplanes owned by Abdelhakim Belhaj, one of the leaders of the Libyan militias who currently resides in Turkey.

Putin blames NATO for destruction of Libya, warns about flow of terrorists from Syria
Russian President Vladimir Putin says the US-led NATO military alliance is to blame for the destruction of Libya, warning that the situation there was deteriorating as more and more militants are moving from Syria into the North African country.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte in Rome, Putin said it is important to recall how the chaos unfolded in Libya.
"Do you remember who destroyed Libya? It was a NATO decision. It was European aircraft that bombed Libya," he said.
The North African country has plunged into a civil war since longtime ruler Muammar Gaddafi was toppled and killed after an uprising and a NATO military intervention in 2011.
Putin said that "it is necessary to stop the bloodshed as soon as possible. It is necessary to start dialogue as soon as possible."
"I do not think that Russia needs to be the main contributor to a resolution of the conflict. Let's ask those who created the problem," he added.

German migrant rescue ship captain faces Italian court
Supporters applauded as Carola Rackete, 31, alighted at Agrigento on a police vessel from the Italian island of Lampedusa where she landed at the weekend with 41 Africans rescued from seas off Libya.
Rackete, a volunteer for German charity Sea-Watch, has become a symbol of divisions in Italy over the government's policy of closing ports to non-government rescue ships.
The interior minister calls her a pirate and people-smuggler while left-wing politicians hail her as an anti-populist heroine.
Rackete had been in international waters for more than two weeks, waiting for an invitation from Italy or another European Union (EU) state to accept her ship.
"We need support to end the death of people at sea and it's outrageous that civilians … filling a gap left by the authorities are criminalized for saving lives," said Giorgia Lunardi, a spokeswoman for the charity.
Germany called on Monday for her release.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte told Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel at an EU meeting that it was an independent judicial matter.
"Merkel asked me about the captain and I explained that in Italy executive power is separate from the judicial one … the prime minister cannot step in. It's in the magistrates' hands," Conte told reporters in Brussels.

Italy arrests 18 for allegedly brainwashing and selling children
Italian police have arrested 18 people including a mayor, doctors and social workers for allegedly brainwashing vulnerable children into thinking their parents had abused them so they could then be sold to foster parents.
Police in the northern city of Reggio Emilia made the arrests after an investigation started in 2018 revealed an alleged network of carers who used methods including electroshock to make the children believe they had been sexually abused.
The network then allegedly gave the children to foster families in exchange for cash, while keeping gifts and letters sent to the children by their real parents hidden in a warehouse that was discovered by police.
The alleged abuse was reported by Italian media and confirmed to AFP by police in Bibbiano, near Reggio Emilia, on Thursday.
"These accusations, if confirmed, are frightening and shocking," Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said at the G20 meeting in Japan.
The accused include psychotherapists working for a social work association in Moncalieri, near Turin, and the mayor of Bibbiano.
To brainwash the children, those arrested allegedly forged child-like drawings with sexual connotations and used electroshock therapy as a "little memory machine" to create fake abuse memories, while the therapists are accused of dressing up as "wicked" children's story characters.
The probe codenamed "Angels and Demons" revealed a scheme to "pass off as a model welfare system for abused minors what was in reality an illegal business to the children's detriment," La Repubblica newspaper reported.
"According to investigators, the aim of the arrested group was to take children away from families in difficult social situations and to give them, for money, to other parents," said the Corriere della Sera newspaper.
Some of the foster parents have been accused of sexually abusing the children they paid money for, La Repubblica reported.
Police declined to say how many children were involved, or of what age.
Hundreds of thousands of euros were involved, Italian media reported.

Before I begin, a hat tip to TheBigOldDog, Zatvornik, and Anglojibwe. Also, I'll address recent "drama" at the END of this article. For now, I want to get right into this:
It started with a tip off...
A tweet...
And a question...
Who are the Silent Ones?
Turns out, QAnon had mentioned them before, all the way back in the early days, at Qdrop #97.
"To this date, Q would not bring up the term again. This is the only time it ever appeared in his drops. And at the time, no one had any clue what it meant.
And when I say no one, I mean literally no one. Anons largely just... skimmed by this phrase - myself included. Go back and run a search on the term on all the old research threads and you'll find next to nothing... and I think for good reason...
The term wasn't public yet.
Even today, trying to search for the term won't yield much. You might find a few scattered tweets if you're lucky, but even then, you'll still be left in the dark as to who or what #theSilentOnes are.
But after seeing this particular tweet, I had to know. If this account was tweeting about The Silent Ones in relation to #Spygate... and Q had mentioned "The Silent Ones" all the way back in 2017... I suddenly needed answers.
In a surprise move Wednesday, Giuseppe Conte, the prime minister of Italy, fired the top management of three Italian intelligence agencies."
"The move is being seen as the Conte government's response to the previous government's coordinated surveillance activity with U.S. intelligence officials during the 2016 U.S. election.

Obama Deep State Operatives Located And FIRED [29 MAY 2019]
In a surprise move earlier this week, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte fired his country's top three intelligence officials, reportedly because they cooperated with the Obama regime in its treasonous "Spygate" operation against the 2016 Trump campaign.
While the official reason behind the firings appears to be routine political housekeeping, word is in Italy that the firings are directly tied to the assistance those officials and and their agencies lent to the Spygate operation.
As revealed by La Repubblica , the Conte government has requested that four deputy directors - two from the Information Security Department (Dis), one from the External Security Information Agency (AISE) and the other from the Internal Security Information Agency (Aisi) - voluntarily resign.
In fact, underlines La Repubblica , a complete reset, excluding the directors - two of whom have already been appointed by this government - of the entire top-level framework of our Services.

George Papadopoulos, who was ensnared in Spygate by longtime FBI asset and Cambridge University Prof. Stephen Halper, tweeted that the Italians are "flipping" as new developments break on 'Spygate' daily. He also added that Rome is "giving up Brennan," a reference to former CIA Director John Brennan, believed to be one of the ringleaders with Obama.

Italian President May Dissolve Parliament As Early As July
As the populist coalition between Matteo Salvini's Lega and the Five Star Movement continues to face rising tensions, Italian media claim that President Sergio Mattarella could dissolve the parliament as early as next month. Following the European elections, the two coalition parties have seen a reversal in voting share with Lega becoming the dominant party in Italy, while the Five Star Movement has tumbled in the polls.
According to a report from newspaper Il Giornale, some have predicted that increased tensions between the two parties could mean that the government has around one month or so before facing collapse and crisis. If the coalition breaks apart it will be the role of President Matarella to attempt to form an alternative majority but will likely be forced to dissolve the parliament if none can be found and hold elections in September. A major source of disagreement between Salvini's Lega and the Five Star Movement (M5S) has been Salvini's push to introduce tax cuts and a flat tax, using increased deficit spending to cover short term costs. The plan is also likely to see the Italian government once again come into conflict with the European Union Commission who threatened to begin a sanctions process against Italy over a previous budget that saw a level of deficit spending the EU did not agree with.
Last week, the EU Commission demanded information from the government on the state of deficit spending, once again highlighting the possibility of reopening the sanctions process. Between both Salvini and M5S leader Luigi Di Maio, who both serve as co-deputy Prime Minister, has been Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte who has been forced to reiterate his position as leader of the government as many, including Italian media, see Salvini as becoming Prime Minister in all but name following the EU election.

Italy's Premier Plans Ultimatum to Quarreling Coalition Partners
By John Follain and Jerrold Colten
June 3, 2019, 3:16 AM CDT
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte is preparing an "ultimatum" to his two quarreling deputy premiers, as the newly strengthened League party ramps up the pressure for action on its terms, or a snap vote.
Conte has grown frustrated with the war of words between the deputies who call the shots in the populist coalition – Matteo Salvini of the League and Luigi Di Maio of the Five Star Movement – and he plans to say Monday that while he's willing to stay on, he won't continue in a government "at death's door," daily la Repubblica reported.
With Italy awaiting a response from the European Union on its recent clarifications about its public finances, Conte plans to say at a 6:15 p.m. Monday news conference in Rome that he needs room for negotiating with Brussels, Repubblica said. A spokesman for Conte didn't respond to a request for comment on the "ultimatum" plan.
Sworn in a year ago, the government has been buffeted by rising tensions between Salvini and Di Maio. Salvini, energized by the rightist League soaring to become Italy's top political force after European parliamentary elections May 26, told party lawmakers last week he wants to keep the coalition going, but is ready to see it collapse if he can't push through key policies like his flat-tax plan.

Five Star Movement Leader Offers Resignation After Disastrous Election Result
The Five Star Movement's (M5S) Luigi Di Maio has offered his resignation as party leader following a disastrous performance in the European Parliament elections over the weekend.
Di Maio announced that he would put his leadership on the line, offering to let members of the movement vote on whether or not he should remain as the head of M5S, Italian newspaper Il Giornale reports.
"In the latest forty-eight hours [people] have said everything against me. Declarations of all kinds from all over. I have also read your many messages. Some of encouragement, others that have made me think. And I thank you for this. Life, for each of us, it is made up of rights and duties," Di Maio wrote on the movement's blog.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has also given an ultimatum to populist interior minister Matteo Salvini, whose League party pulled off a historic election win in the European elections. "I will ask Salvini for full public trust. Otherwise, I will tell him that I am not available to stay," Conte said.
The ultimatum comes after Salvini said he would be pushing to advance several policies which the M5S had previously rejected including the introduction of a flat tax and more autonomy for several northern regions.
"If you want to bring the country into a crash with Europe, assume the responsibilities. He will do it, I will not do it," Conte said remarking on Salvini's plan to rebuke the European Union and push for larger deficit spending to pay for tax cuts.

Q Research General #8461: Will Mueller Come Clean? Edition
EU fires first shot in possible new clash over Italy debt
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission wrote on Wednesday to the Italian government asking it to explain a deterioration in the country's public finances, a move that sets the stage for a possible legal clash with the euroskeptic coalition in Rome.
The letter, signed by economic commissioners Valdis Dombrovskis and Pierre Moscovici, was sent the day after Italy's far-right Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini called EU fiscal rules obsolete and urged the European Central Bank to guarantee the debt of euro zone states.
Applying the rules that Salvini wants to change, the EU executive asked Italy to explain why its huge debt went up last year instead of falling, as required.
The procedural move was exceptionally delayed until after last week's EU elections, where Salvini's League emerged as a big winner, although euroskeptic forces remain a minority in the new European Parliament.
If Rome does not provide by Friday sufficient explanation for its growing debt or accepts that it must limit its spending plans this year, the Commission is likely to formally launch disciplinary steps next week, EU officials said.
Salvini's League is the junior partner in the Italian administration led by the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement, but after the League won a third of Italian votes in Sunday's EU poll, the government seems bound to adopt his hardline stance.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, who was selected by the 5-Star Movement, backed Salvini's calls for a new role for the ECB in guaranteeing large public debts - a position that is anathema to Germany and most other euro zone countries.
Salvini insists that Italy should cut taxes to boost growth, rather than abide by fiscal rules that could hamper activity.
The EU's letter is a legal obligation under EU law and is sent when countries do not abide by agreed fiscal targets, which require them to keep the headline deficit below 3% of gross domestic product and to cut debt if it is above 60% of output.
Similar letters were sent on Wednesday to France, Belgium and Cyprus. Each country will be assessed individually, with different conclusions on the following steps.
Italy's situation appears the most complicated.
Its national debt rose from 131.4% of GDP in 2017 to 132.2% in 2018 and will go up to 133.7% this year and to 135.2% in 2020, according to Commission forecasts.
To make matters worse, the country's structural deficit, which under EU law should shrink by 0.6% of GDP a year until it is in balance, has instead been rising every year since 2015.
Italy narrowly escaped EU disciplinary action last year for its 2017 fiscal outturn and was exceptionally allowed to keep its 2018 structural deficit unchanged instead of reducing it.
But new figures released in April showed the country's structural gap had worsened last year and will continue deteriorating in 2019 as the government pursues free-spending policies which have so far had little impact on growth.
Although the numbers seem damning for Italy, EU rules give the Commission a broad margin of discretion when it issues its assessment on June 5.
In its conclusions, Brussels will take into consideration "relevant factors" that Italy deems may have contributed to the deterioration.
If they are considered insufficient, the Commission will start disciplinary action that could end in a fine of 0.2 percent of Italy's GDP - around 3.5 billion euros ($3.9 billion)- if Rome repeatedly ignores EU calls to put its finances on a sustainable track. But this would take a long time and is politically unlikely.
European Union finance ministers would have to formalize the opening of the procedure in a meeting on July 8-9, if the Commission recommends it.
European Central Bank Vice President Luis de Guindos warned on Wednesday that Italy risked higher borrowing costs that would damage the economy and outweigh any benefits from higher spending if it did not respect EU budget rules.

SpyGate Shake-Up: Prime Minister of Italy Fires Top Officials from Italian Intel Agencies
In a surprise move Wednesday, Giuseppe Conte, the prime minister of Italy, fired the top management of three Italian intelligence agencies.
The move is being seen as the Conte government's response to the previous government's coordinated surveillance activity with U.S. intelligence officials during the 2016 U.S. election.

Before I begin, a hat tip to TheBigOldDog, Zatvornik, and Anglojibwe. Also, I'll address recent "drama" at the END of this article. For now, I want to get right into this:
It started with a tip off...
A tweet...
And a question...
Who are the Silent Ones?
Turns out, QAnon had mentioned them before, all the way back in the early days, at Qdrop #97.
"To this date, Q would not bring up the term again. This is the only time it ever appeared in his drops. And at the time, no one had any clue what it meant.
And when I say no one, I mean literally no one. Anons largely just... skimmed by this phrase - myself included. Go back and run a search on the term on all the old research threads and you'll find next to nothing... and I think for good reason...
The term wasn't public yet.
Even today, trying to search for the term won't yield much. You might find a few scattered tweets if you're lucky, but even then, you'll still be left in the dark as to who or what #theSilentOnes are.
But after seeing this particular tweet, I had to know. If this account was tweeting about The Silent Ones in relation to #Spygate... and Q had mentioned "The Silent Ones" all the way back in 2017... I suddenly needed answers.
In a surprise move Wednesday, Giuseppe Conte, the prime minister of Italy, fired the top management of three Italian intelligence agencies."
"The move is being seen as the Conte government's response to the previous government's coordinated surveillance activity with U.S. intelligence officials during the 2016 U.S. election.
PM @GiuseppeConteIT has suddenly requested resignations from 6 deputy directors of Italian intelligence agencies: DIS, AISI and AISE.
Partito Democratico replies: "it's a regime", but in Rome, everybody knows its' all about SpyGate and Trump sabotage.
- Giulio Occhionero (@g_occhionero) May 16, 2019
Ah, there's that name again...
Il Giornale reported:
As revealed by La Repubblica , the Conte government has requested that four deputy directors - two from the Information Security Department (Dis), one from the External Security Information Agency (AISE) and the other from the Internal Security Information Agency (Aisi) - voluntarily resign.
In fact, underlines La Repubblica , a complete reset, excluding the directors - two of whom have already been appointed by this government - of the entire top-level framework of our Services.
There are six, in total, free seats at the top of the Services that the majority must have been parting for some time: in fact, in addition to the four who resigned, there is the vacant one in Aise after the appointment of Luciano Carta at the top of the Agency and that of Vincenzo Delle Femmine, deputy director of the Aisi retired from June."

Libya Government Gets Arms Shipment as Tripoli Offensive Stalls
Libyan forces loyal to the internationally recognized government in Tripoli said they've received a shipment of weapons and armored vehicles after announcing that Turkey would help fend off an assault on the capital by strongman Khalifa Haftar.
Forces loyal to the Government of National Accord published pictures on their official "Volcano of Anger" Facebook page of what appeared to be Turkish-made Kirpi combat vehicles. They also received ammunition and "quality weapons," the group said in the Facebook posting. A spokesman for the Turkish presidency in Ankara wasn't immediately available for comment.
The United Nations had warned of the conflict turning into a bloody proxy war as foreign backers of Haftar and the Tripoli government send arms shipments despite a UN weapons embargo on the North African OPEC state.
GNA spokesman Mohanad Younes had told reporters earlier in May that Turkey and other countries would be delivering military and humanitarian assistance.
Haftar is supported by Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. His forces have deployed precision guided Blue Arrow 7 missiles manufactured by China and known to have been sold to the United Arab Emirates, say experts who have examined the missiles' remnants.
At least 400 people have been killed in the offensive, which has ground to a halt at the outskirts of Tripoli.
The United Nations and European countries have called for a ceasefire but officials say neither side is prepared for a truce. Haftar met Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on Thursday and is expected to meet French President Emmanuel Macron next week.
Two diplomats with knowledge of the matter said Haftar was planning to continue his offensive. The LNA, which took control of the east and the south before attacking Tripoli, had predicted a quick victory in the capital when it first launched its campaign in early April. Haftar wants at least a foothold in Tripoli before accepting a truce, one of the officials said.

24th International Catholic-Jewish meeting focuses on migrants
Held biennially since the 1971 Vatican declaration of 'Nostra Aetate,' high ranking Catholic clergy members and Italian leaders me with Jewish activists to combat hate together.
Pope Francis, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, Chair of The International Jewish Committee on Inter-religious Consultations [IJCIC] Rabbi Daniel Polish, Israel's ambassador to the Holy See Oren David and high-ranking Catholic clergy and Jewish leaders attended the 24th International Catholic-Jewish Liaison Committee Meeting which took place in Rome between Monday and Friday.
Citing appreciation for the decision of this year's meeting to focus on refugees, the Pope supported "the fight against the troubling recrudescence of antisemitism" as well as "concern for the persecution of Christians," IJCIC reported.
Delegates met refugees currently living in Italy when they visited the Sant'egidio community in Rome. Harking to the words of Pope Francis urging Catholics to "welcome and protest," the community created in 2016 "The Humanitarian Corridors" in war-torn Syria. With the help of the Italian Protestant churches, it has aided roughly one thousand people.
The growth of antisemitism around the world, witnessed by the tragic shooting attacks in synagogues in Pittsburg and Poway in the US, was discussed as well as the attacks against Christians in Sri Lanka.

SECRET AGENT DISCOVERED DEAD IN PARIS IN POOL OF VOMIT FOUND TO POSSESS ENCRYPTION KEY AND CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS
Authorities in France have opened an investigation into the death of an Italian secret agent in Paris, identified only as Massimo I. He was found dead in a hotel on Monday, lying in a pool of vomit with a bloody wound on his chin.
French magazine Le Point reported that French police had recovered an encrypted security key from a safe inside the hotel room that was rented by the member of the Italian intelligence services. Agence France-Presse said that classified documents were also found inside the safe, which contained several USB sticks and the equivalent of $2,239 in 20 euro notes.
The Italian Embassy in Paris said it believes the 50-year-old secret agent died of natural causes. The gaping wound on his chin may have been caused during a fall, investigators said.
Anonymous sources confirmed to AFP that Massimo I. was a "high-ranking civil servant in Italian intelligence." A business card found on his body identified him as working for the presidency of Italy's council of ministers, headed by Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. Both Italy's internal and external security agencies fall under Conte's remit. It is not clear which of Italy's many intelligence services Massimo I. worked for.
The Italian secret agent was discovered when emergency services personnel were called to his room in the early hours of Monday morning. At 1:30 a.m., firefighters attempted to resuscitate him but were unsuccessful.
Massimo I. had checked into the hotel in Paris' Montmartre district, in the French capital's 18th Arrondissement, on May 3. The initial investigation revealed the Italian spy arrived in Paris from Rome, flying into the city's Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Forestier, a spy with the DGSE, the French equivalent of the CIA, was charged in 2018 with criminal conspiracy and possession of explosives in connection with a plot to murder an exiled Congolese general.

Italian secret service agent with Presidency Council business card found dead in Paris hotel
An Italian secret service operative was found dead in a Paris hotel on Sunday night with a business card from the Presidency of the Council of Ministers - the highest public office under the control of Italy's prime minister.
The agent was discovered lying in a pool of vomit with blood under his chin. The business card that was found on the deceased bore his name, Massimo I., and the employer's name: 'Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri'.
Neither Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte nor any other public official in Italy has yet released a public statement on the incident. The local scientific police have determined that an investigation is needed to establish the cause of the man's death, but embassy sources have already said that the agent died of "natural causes", Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported.
French police also found an encrypted security key in a safe, along with with a folder containing 85 tickets for ?20 ($22.40), a USB key, an SD card, and an adaptor. The man had arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris from Rome on May 3, and was staying at a residential hotel in Montmartre.

Salvini: "My only purpose is to save Europe"
When Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini spoke at a press conference at Lega's historic headquarters at Via Bellerio 41 in Milan he was radiant with joy. His party tripled its number of votes in the regional elections in Basilicata (in just one year, it grew from 6.2% to 19%).
In a short interview Sputnik News asked Salvini about his predictions for the elections to the European Parliament, about how he and Lega see the fate of Europe, given that, according to the recently presented Confcommercio Report, Italy is the most "Eurosceptical" country, along with the Czech Republic, and is seemingly ready for an "Italexit".
"Neither I, nor our government, has any plans to leave the European Union, but there is a conviction that it is necessary to change its laws and regulations in order to remain a member of the European community with a sense of self-respect and dignity", Salvini said.
"Obviously, the reality is stronger than propaganda. You can hang EU flags on the balconies, but what kind of Europe is that?"
"One that with the Bolkestein directive (the Internal Market Directive 2006/123/EC on the laws of the single market) jeopardises 300,000 jobs, and with the European standards for agriculture and fishery - millions of jobs?"
"One that is imposed on us by the Fornero law (2011 pension law, extremely unpopular in Italy), one that tells us that Italy cannot reduce taxes, one that did nothing to help us with the migration issue?", he continued.
"I recall that Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has asked for a review of the existing norms established in the Dublin Regulation on the distribution of migrants since June last year - and nothing..."
"Therefore, Italians, as the EU continues hitting them on the head, are asking themselves: "Why do we have to keep on paying for all this?""
"My main goal is to save Europe, a renewed Europe, and Lega will do that."
"We are being called Eurosceptics, sovereigntists, populists, Nazis, fascists, racists, xenophobes, homophobes, and so on and so forth."
"But it is we who will pour healthy blood into Europe's arteries again."
"Today, I have scheduled the first week of April for the first public conference to discuss what our idea of Europe is for the next 40 years. We will discuss these ideas with those of our allies with whom we plan to meet in Parliament in Brussels in July", he concluded.

Xi shuns Pope's invitation while visiting Italy
Domestic dynamics related to church-state relations in China likely dissuaded Chinese leader from meeting Pope
Moreover, the Holy See appeared ready to welcome the Chinese leader. Indeed Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican secretary of state, said on March 19 that Pope Francis was willing to exchange views with Xi.
The Holy See has had no formal ties with Communist China since 1951. Episcopal appointments have always been a thorny issue in the Sino-Vatican relationship, and supporters of the Pope's opening up to Beijing believe the provisional deal could improve the condition of the "unofficial" Chinese church, though it has no diplomatic value according to the two signatories.

"A great job and an extraordinary team operation," he said, calling the arrest "another blow to organized crime."
The 38-year-old was wanted over charges that include murder, drug trafficking, arson, armed robbery, racketeering and extortion, according to Europol.
The crime fighting agency told Sky News that Di Lauro had joined a criminal organization that clashed with other mafia groups in 2000, starting the reported "secondigliano feud," which resulted in several killings.

'I am not a puppet': EU war of words erupts as Italian PM rejects Verhofstadt's claims
Italian PM Giuseppe Conte has hit back at claims made by a chief EU lawmaker that he is a "puppet" of his country's coalition party leaders, after declaring the bloc had "lost contact" with its people.
The EU Parliament witnessed ill-tempered exchanges between Conte, who was making his debut speech, and leading MEPs. Guy Verhofstadt addressed the PM, saying that he regrets Italy has gone from being a big defender of Europe "to the back of the line."
Bemoaning what he sees as the "political degeneration of Italy," Verhofstadt accused Conte of being a "puppet" of the Five Star Movement's Luigi Di Maio and the Northern League's Matteo Salvini. He also claimed that Italy, at times, "behaves in an anti-European way, openly spiteful against other member states."
The senior Belgian MEP later suggested on social media that Italy is being unduly influenced by Russian President Vladimir Putin, causing EU division on the issue of Nicolas Maduro's legitimacy as president of Venezuela.

Just because Italy is rejecting the EU narrative, they call them names and try to undermine them…. Marxism tactics at there best.
I Can't wait for the EU to collapse and the people of Europe regain control of their individual countries.
Italian PM Giuseppe Conte has hit back at claims made by a chief EU lawmaker that he is a "puppet" of his country's coalition party leaders, after declaring the bloc had "lost contact" with its people.
The EU Parliament witnessed ill-tempered exchanges between Conte, who was making his debut speech, and leading MEPs. Guy Verhofstadt addressed the PM, saying that he regrets Italy has gone from being a big defender of Europe "to the back of the line."

Leaked Audio Reveals Italian PM Telling Merkel 'Salvini is Against Everyone'
A leaked audio recording from the recent World Economic Forum conference in Davos between Italy's Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has revealed the Italian PM's determination to take in migrants.
The conversation between the two leaders took place on the sidelines of the conference and the leaked audio centres around the migrant policy of populist Interior Minister Matteo Salvini Il Giornale reports.
In the clip, Chancellor Merkel asked, "So Salvini is against France and Germany and Di Maio is against France?" to which Conte responded, "Salvini is against everyone."
Conte also mentioned his frustration with Salvini's policy of not allowing migrant rescue vessels to dock in Italian ports, a move that has reduced new arrivals in January by 95 percent compared to January 2018.
"He closes everything, there's no space, it's different for me," Conte said, and added, "do you remember Malta, when I said, 'Women and children, I'll take them by plane.' Because Juncker told me: 'Salvini says all ports are closed.' I said, 'OK, it means I'll catch them on the plane!' We'll take them, of course, of course, but Angela, do not worry, I'm very determined."
Conte also mentioned the recent downturn in the polls for the Five Star Movement, of which he is a member, telling Chancellor Merkel, "The Five Star Movement is suffering. They are very worried ... they go down to 27-26 percent, so they ask themselves what are the themes that can help us in the electoral campaign."
Conte went on to add that many in his party see France as an opponent but Germany as an ally, to which Merkel said, "It's a very simplistic approach."
The comments from Conte are just the latest crack in the Italian populist coalition after several Five Star senators outright opposed the migration and security decree drafted by Salvini.

Survivors: Up to 117 missing from sunken boat off Libya
Today 04:30 am JST 0 Comment
By FRANCES D'EMILIO
ROME
Three survivors of a rubber dinghy that sank in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Libya say up to 117 other migrants were aboard at the time, a U.N. migration official said Saturday.
It appeared to be the latest tragedy on the dangerous central Mediterranean route from North Africa to Europe.
Flavio Di Giacomo of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) told Italian state TV that "unfortunately about 120" migrants were reported by survivors to have been on the overloaded smugglers' dinghy when it was launched from Libyan shores on Thursday evening.
"After a few hours, it began sinking and people began drowning," Di Giacomo said.
Among the missing are 10 women and two children, including a two-month-old baby, he said. Survivors indicated their fellow migrants came from Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Gambia and Sudan, Di Giacomo said.
Italian President Sergio Mattarella, who has urged that the government show more compassion for migrants, expressed his "deep sorrow for the tragedy that has taken place in the Mediterranean."
Premier Giuseppe Conte told reporters he was "shocked" at the reports of the sinking and vowed that Italy would continue to combat human traffickers.
Italy's populist government has banned private rescue boats from bringing migrants to Italian shores. Together with Malta, Italy has also launched probes of the rescue groups themselves, claiming their operations might facilitate trafficking.
The three survivors of the sinking were plucked to safety by an Italian navy helicopter on Friday afternoon, the navy said.
The Italian navy said when its patrol plane first spotted the sinking dinghy it had about 20 persons aboard. The plane's crew launched two life rafts near the dinghy, which inflated, and a navy destroyer 100 nautical (200 kilometers) away sent a helicopter to the scene.
That helicopter rescued the survivors, two from a life raft and one from the water, the navy said, adding that all had hypothermia.
They were flown to Lampedusa, an Italian island near Sicily, and treated in a hospital, Di Giacomo said.
Many migrants cannot afford to pay for life vests, an extra cost when boarding a smuggler's boat in Libya. The survivors said the migrants aboard the dinghy didn't have any.
It wasn't immediately clear exactly how many migrants might have died before the navy plane spotted the sinking dinghy.
The Italian Coast Guard says Libya asked a nearby cargo ship to search for survivors but the ship reported it found no one.
Libyan navy spokesman Ayoub Gassim said one of its boats was sent Friday to the scene but it "had a mechanical issue and we had to call it back." The official said 50 migrants were believed to have been aboard the dinghy when it set sail.
According to the IOM, at least 2,297 people died at sea or went missing trying to reach Europe in 2018. In all, 116,959 migrants reached Europe by sea routes last year, it says.
The U.N. refugee agency UNHCR, said Saturday it was "appalled" at the news of the latest migrant deaths in the Mediterranean. In a statement from its Geneva headquarters, it said in addition to those missing off Libya, 53 people died in recent days in the western Mediterranean, where one survivor was rescued by a fishing boat after being stranded for more than 24 hours at sea.
"We cannot turn a blind eye to the high numbers of people dying on Europe's doorstep," said U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi.
Italy has trained and equipped the Libyan coast guard so it can intercept and rescue more migrant boats closer to their shores. But U.N. refugee officials and rights advocates say the migrants rescued by the Libyans are returned to dangerous, overcrowded detention facilities, where detainees face insufficient rations, rape, beatings and torture.
Libyan navy official Ayoub Gassim said Saturday the Libyan navy had stopped two smuggling boats, one with 67 migrants aboard and the other with 20.
In a separate operation, the German rescue group Sea-Watch said it rescued 47 people from a rubber boat off the coast of Libya.
After Italy's populist government took power in June 2018, the number of migrants reaching Italy after rescue at sea dropped off sharply, as anti-migrant Interior Minister Matteo Salvini refused to let humanitarian rescue vessels enter Italian ports.
Salvini says Italy has received hundreds of thousands of migrants rescued from Libyan-based smugglers in unseaworthy boats in the last few years and demands that other European Union countries do their part.
After the latest sea tragedy, Salvini said when humanitarian rescue boats patrol off Libya, "the smugglers resume their dirty trafficking (and) people start dying again."

Theresa May, Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron to skip Davos summit amid problems at home
1/18/2019
UK prime minister Theresa May has announced that she was going to cancel a trip to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos next week, due to the complications caused in her country by Brexit, Bloomberg reports.
May is the third important world leader to drop out of the Davos conference. US president Donald Trump has cancelled his trip due to the ongoing government shutdown, while French president Emmanuel Macron said he would not attend after weeks of protests in his country.
The conference provides a chance for world leaders to present their policies before the world's biggest businesses and investors. However, the three leaders would risk to further irritate their voters if they spend time in the Alps surrounded by the global elite.
Some are still going to make the trip, including German chancellor Angela Merkel, Japanese PM Shinzo Abe, Italian PM Giuseppe Conte and new Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro.

Davos 2019: World leaders you WON'T be seeing at WEF and WHY - Trump and May included
THE annual World Economic Forum will kick off in Davos next week with global political and business elites gathering to discuss the dangers facing the economy and environment in 2019.
By LEVI WINCHESTER
PUBLISHED: 14:49, Thu, Jan 17, 2019 | UPDATED: 14:56, Thu, Jan 17, 2019
Fears of a slowdown in economic growth linked to trade disputes, fractious international relations, and political uncertainty due to Brexit are set to dominate the January 22 to 25 Alpine meeting. As well as this, the environment will also take centerstage with concerns over climate change and man-made environmental disasters on the cards for discussion at this year's event. But a host of crises will keep several world leaders away from one of the biggest economic events in the calendar. Prime Minister Theresa May will not be attending the event as she battles to find a consensus on Brexit.
The Conservative party leader this week saw her divorce deal shot down in Parliament after being rejected in a landslide fashion of 432 votes to 202.
Mrs May then survived a subsequent vote of confidence, triggered by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in the face of the deal being rejected.
US President Donald Trump will also not be showing his face as he continues to grapple with the partial shutdown of his government with 800,000 federal employees ensnared in the drama and going without pay.
The US leader triggered the stand-off, the longest of its kind in recent history, after demanding $5.7 billion to fund a wall along the US-Mexico border, which Democrats oppose.
French President Emmanuel Macron will be staying at home as his country with the fallout from the so-called Yellow Vest protests dominating his current schedule.
The unrest was sparked in November by fuel tax reforms but it has developed into a broader movement against Mr Macron.
The sometimes-violent protests have continued despite a series of humiliating climbdowns by Mr Macron in a desperate bid to regain control.
It is currently uncertain if Russian leader Vladimir Putin will attend Davos after presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying "nothing is excluded" when asked if Putin will be heading to Switzerland.
But the WEF will not be short of political figures by any means, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Chancellor of Austria Sebastian Kurz all on the guest list.
Also in attendance will be: Leo Varadkar, Taoiseach of the Republic of Ireland, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, Belgium Prime Minister Charles Michel, Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg.
In terms of leaders outside of Europe, there will be: Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan, President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, President of Zimbabwe Emmerson Mnangagwa, President of Colombia Ivan Duque and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Prince William will also attend the event and is expected to interview Sir David Attenborough about "inspiring generations of people to become champions for nature".
Yesterday the WEF Global Risk Report warned of looming economic headwinds, in part due to geopolitical tensions among major powers.
The international organisation has raised concerns the world is "sleepwalking into a crisis" with global risks from political and economic tensions to climate change intensifying.
Borge Brende, president of the WEF said: "With global trade and economic growth at risk in 2019, there is a more urgent need than ever to renew the architecture of international cooperation."
He added: "What we need now is coordinated, concerted action to sustain growth and to tackle the grave threats facing our world today."

Anti-vaccine Italian Government Sacks Entire Health Expert Board
The vaccine-skeptic Italian government has sacked every member of the country's health advisory board, raising fears that the populist administration will sideline accepted science and inflict long-lasting damage on public health.
Health minister Giulia Grillo removed all 30 members of the Higher Health Council Monday, arguing it is time to "give space to the new," The Guardian reported.
The council is the country's most prominent body of technical-scientific experts, who advise the government on health policy.
Grillo is a member of the Five Star Movement (MS5)-the senior party in Italy's ruling coalition, which has previously supported unproven cures for cancer and promised to overturn laws making vaccines mandatory for children.
Explaining her decision, Grillo wrote on Facebook, "We are the #governmentofchange and, as I have already done with the appointments of the various organs and committees of the ministry, I have chosen to open the door to other deserving personalities."
Among those removed from their posts is former council president, Roberta Siliquini, who also serves as the head of the school of hygiene and preventive medicine at the University of Turin.
Siliquini told The Guardian: "We are worried about why they have decided to remove people who were selected due to their experience and competencies at the highest level." She added, "We are also worried about who will make up the next council and especially if the nominations are politically motivated."
The members of the board usually serve three-year terms, and it is unusual for them to be cut short, especially with such little explanation. Grillo wrote that some members "could be reappointed," but "not the leaders...who must have the trust of and be in full harmony with the minister in charge."
Siliquini said she had never met Grillo since the new minister was appointed six months ago. "We're the organisation that helps them, from a scientific and technical point of view, to make decisions on policy," Siliquini explained. "But she never asked us anything during these six months, which was probably a strong signal."
MS5 came to power earlier this year on a wave of anti-establishment sentiment, allying with the far-right Lega Nord party to lead an unlikely populist coalition. The party's health care policy has prompted concern by seemingly dismissing swathes of accepted science and instead embracing conspiracy theories and fraudulent medicine.
MS5 has previously lent support to a controversial stem-cell therapy-known as Stamina-promoted by psychologist Davide Vannoni, who claimed it could perform miracles and cure diseases including cancer. Experts since claim to have proven the therapy is a scam.
Current Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte also has links to the scam, having represented a the family of a girl with a degenerative disease in 2013, calling on the government to allow her access to Stamina treatment.
MS5-then still a burgeoning force-seized on the debate to accuse the establishment of withholding new medical treatments from ordinary citizens, despite having no evidence that the method even worked.
The party's vaccine-skepticism has also been well-publicized. During this year's election campaign, MS5 promised to reform a law that made 10 vaccines mandatory and required a doctor's note to confirm the injections. In June, Grillo said parents could "self-certify" that their children had been vaccinated and waved the requirement for doctor confirmation.
This caused chaos when the new school year began in September, with thousands of children with compromised immune systems forced to stay at home for fear that classmates had not been vaccinated against potentially deadly diseases.
But a fresh measles epidemic has forced the government into a U-turn. Authorities have now said the vaccines obligation will remain in place and have called for 800,000 infants, children and young adults to be injected against the virus, The Telegraph noted.

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte told the government that the "The floor of parliament must debate it. The Italian government will allow parliament to decide".
"The Global Migration Compact is a document that raises issues and questions that many citizens have strong feelings about," Conte continued.
"Therefore, we consider it right to put the debate in parliament and subject any final decision on the outcome of that debate, as Switzerland has done.
"So the government will not participate in Marrakech, reserving the option to adopt the document, or not, only when parliament has expressed its opinion," he added.

For a brief moment on Tuesday, it looked as if the populists running Italy's government had finally blinked in their monthslong budget standoff with the European Commission. Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, who is effectively running Italy's government along with fellow Deputy PM Luigi Di Maio, suggested that Italy could back off its 2.4% deficit target, so long as all of the fiscal stimulus promised by their government could be preserved.
But after meeting Monday night with Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to discuss the country's response to the Commission's unprecedented rejection of Italy's budget (as well as its decision to recommend an "Excessive Deficit Procedure") Salvini and Di Maio clarified on Tuesday that any reduction in the deficit target would be minimal - 20 or 40 basis points on the outside, keeping it well above the Commission's recommendation for a 0.8% deficit. For Italian bondholders and those who own Italian bank shares, this is certainly unwelcome news, evidenced by a flattening yield curve on Tuesday as bonds reversed some of their gains from the day before.

Italy's Salvini ridicules EU and is ready to go head to head over their 2019 budget
In a video of Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini delivering a speech, we see an amusing exchange between the League leader and someone off camera.
"What is it?" Salvini asks, then he answers for us that "The letter from Brussels has arrived. Oh, well, I was waiting for Father Christmas' letter We'll talk about it again."
Brussels ultimatum for Rome to change the budgetary proposal by the end of November over Italy's plans to increase the country's deficit by 2.4 per cent for 2019 has been met with the staunch refusal to allow Italy's citizens to be disrespected.
Mr. Salvini, in his speech, said further: "I thank God because this is the 174th day he grants me the joy to do a job I never managed I would end up doing. "But if we managed to change European policies that would be like hitting the jackpot because in the past they were based on a North European model which damaged agriculture, fisheries, Italian commerce and artisans.
"I want to stay in Europe but I want to do so as a peer. What I demand from Europe is they respect the Italian people considering we contribute ?5 billion more than we actually get back."
He added: "We pay club membership, the least they can do is to let us play on a level field with other members."
Italian prime minister Giuseppe Conte will hope to resolve the row with Mr Juncker during a working dinner on Sunday, however, Italy is not prepared to back down.

Italians First! 'If Italy is harmed, we will reject the eurozone budget' - Interior Minister Salvini
Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on Monday discussed the eurozone budget proposal. The ever rising in popularity, Matteo Salvini, says if Italy is harmed, they will reject the eurozone budget.
The French-German proposal seems to do just that and as such, Italy will reject it. Italy and Brussels have been in what can only be described as a showdown over Italy's 2019 budget draft.
The European Commission has rejected the draft whilst Italy has dug in their heels refusing the change it.
In late October when the EC demanded changes to the draft, Premier Giuseppe Conte said "the critical opinion of the Commission was in the air, we decided to elaborate a budget that rejects austerity and embraces growth."
Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio leader of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) and also labour and industry minister also said in October that "it's the first budget that the EU doesn't like. I'm not surprised: it's the first Italian budget that was written in Rome and not in Brussels".
Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini at that time also said that "they're not attacking a government, but a people. They are things that make Italians even more irritated and then some people complain that the European Union is at the lowest point of its popularity.
"We're going forward with a smile, the Italians are asking that of us," said Salvini. Today League party leader Salvini rejected the budget proposal stating: "If it damages Italy, as seems to be the case, obviously it will not have our support".

Two-Day Libya Peace Conference Kicking Off in Palermo
The two-day 'Conference for Libya' is set to start on Monday, under the aegis of the Italian government and with close collaboration with the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) in Palermo, Sicily, with aims to advance and contribute to ongoing efforts on Libya's stabilization ahead of the country's proposed general elections.
The goal of the conference, as outlined by the Italian government, is to provide a contribution to the peace settlement and political stabilization process in Libya, with the agreement of the main political actors in the country. The conference will also seek to make specific contributions on security and economic measures that can aid stability in the country, as well as provide a discussion on the hosting of general elections in Libya.
On Monday, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte will welcome the heads of delegations from the various countries attending the conference at the Villa Igiea, followed by a working lunch. On Tuesday heads of delegations will participate in a plenary session, which will be followed by a press briefing from Conte.
Attendance at Palermo
According to a press release published by the European Union, EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini will attend the Conference for Libya.
Other confirmed attendees include the African Union Special Representative and Head of the African Union Liaison Office in Libya Ambassador Wahida Ayari and Head of UNSMIL and Special Representative for Libya Ghassan Salame.
The attendance of European leaders has yet to be confirmed. Although initially invited, various media outlets report that German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron will not attend the conference, and will be represented by other members of their governments.
US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have officially been invited to attend the conference. However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed in late October that Putin will likely be unable to attend the conference and that in his stead Russia will send another representative.

MOSCOW, October 25. /TASS/. Meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin was fruitful marking the beginning of friendship, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said in an interview with TASS First Deputy Director General Mikhail Gusman.
"I am very pleased with the visit," he said. "I was received with wonderful hospitality, that was a very warm welcome. I would say that friendly relations have emerged as well. At the end, before saying good-bye, we told each other about that."
"We spent the whole afternoon together, many hours, discussing multiple issues," the Italian premier went on to say. "Those were issues related to both foreign and domestic policy and bilateral exchanges. That was a very fruitful meeting indeed."
Giuseppe Conte specifically mentioned those areas, in which Italian-Russian cooperation is developing dynamically. "Of course, commercial exchange and economic cooperation are developing very intensively in many areas, for example, infrastructure, energy, agricultural production, processing industry and medicine," he said.
"We should not disregard cultural ties, that's very important," the prime minister stressed. "I said that there were 50 schools in Russia where Italian was taught at all levels, from elementary to high school. At the same time, Italy pays great attention to the Russian language and Russian culture. From this point of view, these are the key milestones. If we add to that exchanges at the level of universities, at the level of research centers, we can be certain that relations between our countries are very intense.".

Italian PM Warns 'No Plan B' After Brussels Rejects Italian Budget
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has warned that there is no "plan B" for Italy following the European Commission's unprecedented rejection of the Italian budget.
After weeks of back and forth between Brussels and the populist coalition government in Rome, the European Union's Commission has rejected the Italian budget and told the government to draft another, Il Giornale reports.
The EU has given the Italians three weeks to come up with a new budget proposal after the original had caused consternation in Brussels due to the increase of spending to around 2.4 percent of GDP in order to pay for the basic income policy proposed by the Five Star Movement.
"There isn't any B plan, I said that the deficit at 2.4 percent of GDP is the cap. I can say this will be our cap," Prime Minister Conte said following the rejection.

ROME - Italy's government vowed Saturday to engage in constructive talks with the European Union as it still gave final approval to a rule-busting budget and brushed off a ratings downgrade triggered by its higher-than-expected deficit targets.
Premier Giuseppe Conte said the budget plan was definitively approved by all forces at an emergency cabinet meeting Saturday that was called to respond to the EU concerns and resolve an internal government squabble.
Conte said Italy was "available for constructive dialogue" with the EU in the coming weeks.
But 5-Star Leader Luigi Di Maio and League leader Matteo Salvini indicated little room for substantive changes to the budget, with Di Maio saying: "We repeated our positions."
The European Commission has warned Italy that its higher-than-expected budget deficit targets represent an unprecedented deviation from EU budget rules. The government has until midday Monday to respond to EU concerns….

Italy won't back down on deficit plans despite EU pressure
Alvise Armellini Oct 20, 2018
Rome (dpa) - Italy will not tame its spending plans in response to EU criticism and a rating downgrade on its debt, deputy premier and Five Star Movement (M5S) leader Luigi Di Maio said Saturday.
"I think I can speak on behalf of the whole government when I deny any kind of reconsideration of the 2.4 [per-cent-of-GDP deficit target]," Di Maio said before a cabinet meeting in Rome.
Ministers discussed how to respond to a Thursday letter from the European Commission, in which it warned Italy against an "unprecedented" deviation from eurozone budget discipline rules.
Italy's public debt already stands at more than 130 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP), one of the highest levels in the world, only second to Greece in the eurozone.
"We want to explain how and why we have designed this budget," Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said after the cabinet, promising a "constructive dialogue" with the EU, but ruling out major changes.
Italy was expected to reply to Brussels by noon [1000 GMT] on Monday.
Rome's ruling populist parties are set on raising public borrowing to fund tax, welfare and pension giveaways, and stimulate a flagging economy with extra government spending.
Such plans have led to a late Friday decision by Moody's credit ratings agency to cut the rating for Italy's sovereign debt to Baa3, one notch above junk status.
Di Maio and Conte's other deputy premier, League leader Matteo Salvini, insisted they had no desire to take Italy out of the EU or the euro, but both said the bloc's rules should change.
"We will respond to Moody's with a big smile," Di Maio said, while Salvini said the government would soldier on "despite rating agencies, European commissioners and some internal misunderstanding."… more here

Italian Tremor Will Cause An EU Earthquake
Juncker Warns 'The EU Cannot Survive Without Italy
Ignoring warnings from the European Commission, the ECB and the European Commission (as well as practically every other supranational organization in Europe), the populist-led Italian government managed to submit their draft budget to the Commission before a midnight deadline - an outcome that was cheered by BTP traders, who bought back into Italian bonds, once again compressing the spread to bunds, which has blown out in recent months.
But rather than representing a deescalation of tensions between Italy and Brussels, the game of fiscal chicken in which both sides are presently engaged is instead entering its most acute phase, as Brussels now has two weeks to review the budget proposal before it can either accept the plan, or send it back with requests for revisions. And anybody who has been paying even passing attention to the populist government's denigration of EU budgetary guidelines over the past few months should already understand that Brussels won't just sit back and accept the budget for what it is.
In fact, European Commissioner Jean-Claude Juncker hinted as much Tuesday morning when he told Italian reporters that accepting the budget would be tantamount to inviting an widespread revolt against the EU, per Italian newswire ANSA and the FT. Juncker also blasted Italy for abandoning the fiscal commitments it made when it joined the EU. However, though they have wavered from time to time, the Italians haven't kept their intentions to press for a budget deficit equivalent to 2.4% of GDP a secret. Even Giovanni Tria, Italy's economy minister, defended the draft budget, saying the deficit "would be considered normal in all Western democracies, not explosive."
Undeterred by the fact that there's absolutely no political will in the Italian government to back down from their budget stance, despite threats from the ECB to provoke a Greece-style banking crisis if the Italians don't yield to EU rules.
"There is a gap between what was promised and what is being presented today," said Mr Juncker.
"We are going to have a virtuous debate with our Italian friends who know that their level of public debt is too high and that the draft budget does not fully respect the recommendations of the eurozone ministers."
"If we accepted the slip, some European countries would cover us with insults and tirades with the accusation we are being too flexible with Italy," Juncker told Italian media.
Meanwhile, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, one of two party chiefs who are effectively running the country, said during a news conference that this budget "doesn't accomplish miracles, it doesn't multiply fish and bread, but it opens opportunities to work for hundreds of thousands of youths," Salvini said in Monday evening news conference flanked by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, Di Maio, and Finance Minister Giovanni Tria. "After 137 days of governing, I think we can be satisfied with what we've done."
In reference to the festering acrimony between EU bureaucrats and populist Italian leaders, who have even threatened to sue Juncker for jawboning Italian bond yields, the European Commissioner said speculation that he's somehow "against Italians" is "rubbish".
"They attack me, insult me but do not ask questions. Let's stop saying that I am against Italy. It's rubbish, it's a lie," said Mr Juncker.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte is set to address EU leaders at a summit in Brussels on Thursday, despite fears that he might hijack the summit's agenda, which leaders have hoped would focus on finalizing a draft Brexit deal. But while some EU leaders have pushed to give Italy a pass, fearful of provoking an EU "showdown," Juncker has continued to insist that the EU must abide by its rules. Conte and Tria are expected to address Italian lawmakers Tuesday afternoon Rome time.

'Wrong': Italy's PM Conte Slams Macron for Claiming Italy in Crisis With EU
Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron described Italy as being in a state of crisis with the European Union over their contrasting migration policies.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte responded to Macron's remark, insisting that he is "wrong" to suggest there is a crisis with the EU, explaining that the French president is only able to speak for his own country, not all of the bloc's other member states.
Speaking at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, PM Conte said, "A crisis between Italy and the EU? You are wrong. Macron claims that Italy has problems with Europe? Fortunately, Europe is made up of 27 states and Macron speaks only for France."
"He has the right to express his opinion, but he is wrong," he reiterated.
Relations deteriorated with France after Italy's populist coalition government prevented a boat laden with migrants from docking on its territory, drawing condemnation from Brussels and a number of member states.
However, the French government also didn't allow the Aquarius boat to dock at its Marseille port, expectedly resulting in Macron being dubbed a hypocrite, as he accused Italy of creating a "political crisis" by not abiding to "international laws" and "humanitarian laws of the sea."
Italy's Deputy PM, Matteo Salvini, has been particularly vocal on the migrant crisis, insisting that Europe should not rescue migrant boats and escort them to safety on European safety as this encourage others to make the perilous journey across the Mediterranean.
Moreover, in an interview with Deutsche Welle earlier this week, Salvini he believed German Chancellor Angela Merkel underestimated the "risk of a social clash" as a result of her open-door migrant policy, stressing the need for Italy to avert a similar crisis.

"Decreto Salvini" - Strengthening immigration policy in Italy
Salvini says in talk shows: "If I let you into my house as a guest, and you sell drugs to my children at home, then I will take you back to where you came from, with all humanity".
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini presented in Rome the new law "Salvini" for more security and migration, as promised in the election campaign.
The "Decreto Salvini" is seen by the opposition and several renowned media as a harder pace and tightening of laws, especially against asylum seekers and arriving refugees.
Giuseppe Conte, himself a respected professor of jurisprudence, reiterated at the presentation of the "decree" that the law was definitely checked for humanity and human rights and found to be realistic. Salvini, on the other hand, appeared very confidently before the assembled journalists and parried, as he always does, self-confidently and sovereignly, knowing that a majority of society absolutely supports this law.
Security policy was always on the Lega's agenda, and incidents like those in Germany, years earlier, increased dissatisfaction among Italians - the previous government of Matteo Renzi could no longer cushion this mood.
Giuseppe Conte, along with Salvini, explained it this way: "In order to improve the security situation of everyone, including the refugees themselves, as well as migration, it is first necessary to create appropriate framework conditions in order to define what security is" and how this can be guaranteed if one bears responsibility for it.
Just as in Germany, critics attack Salvini by saying that crime statistics are currently announcing the opposite: a decline in the total number of acts of violence. Salvini and his family argue that most rapes and brutal acts of violence are committed largely by migrants and immigrants.
Furthermore, Salvini continues, who has the latest data and facts on paper in his hand, that of initially 27% of those entitled to asylum, according to the extended analysis "only seven per cent" are actual war refugees. While 43,000 refugees arrived by boat and ship in the last period from January to June, there were only 7,000 since the Salvini government. First fruits of the rigorous implementation of Salvini's goals to minimize the number of refugees in Italy.
Salvini, appreciated and supported by a wave of euphoria in the citizenship from Bolzano to Palermo, described it quite clearly: refugees will continue to be taken in, those who are justified, but otherwise the following applies: "In the case of asylum seekers who commit crimes, who are caught dealing, in the case of theft or sexual harassment of minors, the asylum procedure will be stopped immediately". If it is confirmed that these persons are considered to be a public danger, "they are taken to a deportation centre". As Matteo Salvini rather rhetorically asked, this certainly does not violate a fundamental right.
And further, quite figuratively, and the Legachef repeated this scenario also in talk shows: "If I let you into my house as a guest, and then you sell drugs to my children at home, then I take you, with all humanity, back to where you came from".
The great adversary Salvinis and former president of the Chamber of Deputies, the oco-logical-left Laura Boldrini, often accused Salvini in advance of "slogan, slogan" - just words, empty phrases. How would he deport refugees without passports and documents?
Salvini, always preserving form, said dryly at the time: "I will send them back to where they claim to have come from…". Now the centre-right government is taking things seriously. Residence permits? Very difficult to get. Pickpockets, burglaries, or rebellion against the authorities? Quite bad cards.
The credo: Whoever comes to us, out of necessity, must be grateful and show respect. They will examine very carefully for what "humanitarian reasons" who would come to Italy. New parameters for the right of asylum are, for example, if victims of exploitation, domestic violence or natural disasters can make this credible, or if this is clear. Here one wants to help and show kindness. And, Salvini added, Italian ports will continue to be closed to foreign NGO ships.
The law still has to be signed by Parliament and the President of the Republic, but all the survey results speak for the government. Who would want to make themselves unpopular here?

Italy Preparing to Limit Contributions to EU Long-Term Budget Over Migrant Issue
ROME (Sputnik) - Italy is getting ready to cut its contributions to the EU budget for the upcoming years over Europe's failure to reach agreement on the migrant issue, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said on Saturday.
On Friday, the European Commission called an informal meeting on migration with the participation of senior officials from the national governments of 12 EU member states, including Germany, Greece, France and Spain, after Italian Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio said Italy would may reconsider Rome's contributions to the EU budget if other countries did not accept the nearly 200 migrants who had been saved in the Mediterranean by the Italian Diciotti coast guard ship. The meeting, however, did not yield results.
"I wrote yesterday that we would draw conclusions. I will clarify: we are working on introducing limitations in relation to Italy's joining the long-term financial plan which is being discussed now. Under such circumstances, Italy does not consider it possible to join the budget that envisions such an inconsistent social policy," Conte wrote on Facebook.
Europe has been facing a large influx of migrants since 2015, and although the number of new arrivals has gone down over the last year, the issue of accommodating migrants and refugees remains acute, especially for such countries as Spain, Italy, and Greece, which often serve as the point of first entry into the European Union.

Italy Threatens To Stop EU Funding Unless Other States Accept Refugees
Europe's refugee mess is back with a bang.
On Thursday, out of the blue, Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio threatened to stop financial contributions to the European Union next year unless other states agreed to take in migrants being held on a coastguard ship in Sicily. The Italian's ultimatum comes less two months after Europe triumphantly announced a "vaguely worded" deal on how to resolve the continent's migrant influx.
"If tomorrow at the meeting of the European Commission nothing is decided on the redistribution of migrants and the Diciotti ship, I and the entire Five Star Movement are not willing to give 20 billion to the European Union," Di Maio said in a video posted on his Facebook page.
He echoed statements by Interior Minister and Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini, who has refused to allow 177 migrants to leave the Italian coastguard ship Ubaldo Diciotti, which is docked in the Sicilian port of Catania. While Italian prosecutors opened an investigation into the detention of the migrants and 29 children were allowed to disembark, Salvini still won't allow the rest of the people to come ashore and has attacked the EU for its "cowardly silence."
Salvini described those aboard as "illegal immigrants," and said they won't be allowed to step foot on Italian soil. Instead, he insisted fellow European Union nations take in some of the asylum-seekers.
"Italy's no longer Europe's refugee camp," he tweeted. "Upon my authorization, no one is disembarking from the Diciotti."
Salvini, who is also interior minister, was defiant in the face of a criminal probe into possible kidnapping charges for forcing the migrants to remain on the vessel. The chief prosecutor from the Agrigento court, Luigi Patronaggio, on Wednesday boarded the Diciotti and said afterwards he had opened a probe against "unknown" persons for holding the migrants against their will.
"There's a court that is investigating whether those illegally on board the ship have been kidnapped," Salvini said in a radio interview.
"I'm not unknown. My name is Matteo Salvini… I'm the Interior Minister and I think it is my duty to defend the security of this country's borders."
A public backlash against the arrivals of hundreds of thousands of seaborne newcomers in the past five years - a consequence of policies established by Angela Merkel in 2015 - helped put Di Maio and Salvini into office. Salvini allowed 27 unaccompanied minors off the ship late Wednesday.
* * *
Meanwhile, the European Commission said this week that it is working to find an agreement. Other such deals were found in June and July for ships carrying rescued migrants that docked in both Italy and Malta.
This is not the first time Italy has clashed with Brussels on this issue. In June, Salvini refused to accept the Aquarius boat with its load of 629 migrants. At the time Spain agreed to let the boat dock.
On Wednesday Premier Giuseppe Conte said on Facebook that promises made by EU partners in the past had not been kept. He said only France had taken a few migrants in, while Germany, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Malta, which had previously offered to share some of the burden, were not doing so.
Italy is "waiting for a strong and clear answer from the European institutions and an adequate response from the other European countries," he said.
Following news that Italy has once again broken apart with Brussels over the sensitive issue of how to deal with the ongoing migrant wave, the EURUSD slumped to session lows as the market slowly realizes that - as we said in June - Europe's migrant problem is unsolvable.

Siding with his Italian colleagues, Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Thursday after meeting Italian counterpart Enzo Moavero Milanesi that the Italian and Hungarian governments' policies on migration are identical on a multitude of points.
"The Hungarian government cooperates with everybody who seeks to stop illegal migration and prioritizes border protection," Szijjarto told MTI after his meeting.
The position of the new Italian government and the new Italian Interior Minister, Matteo Salvini, coincides with the Hungarian government's in many ways, he said. "We agreed that the root causes [of migration] must be addressed … and entering Europe must be done according to European rules."
Hungary maintains that migrants should not be distributed among EU countries but should be prevented from coming to Europe in the first place.

Autostrade Approves Initial $577 Million Fund for Genoa Tragedy
Atlantia SpA's Autostrade per l'Italia unit approved an initial 500 million euros ($577 million) in funding to help victims of the Genoa bridge disaster and support the region, in its first official response after the Italian government started a formal process to revoke the company's highway concession in the country.
The board agreed on a "first list of initiatives, preliminary worth 500 million euros, which will be self-financed," Autostrade said in an e-mailed statement. The meeting, which began with one minute of silence to mourn the victims, also acknowledged a "letter of dispute"sent by the transport ministry. A further extraordinary meeting will make deliberations on the process, the company said.
Italy's coalition government sent a formal dispute letter to the company dated Aug. 16, kicking off the process of ending the highway concession, after the collapse of the Morandi bridge in Genoa killed 43 people.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte stepped up pressure on Atlantia Tuesday, telling Corriere della Sera that the initial disaster relief offer was "certainly modest," and that the company "could quadruple or quintuple that" to about 2.5 billion euros.
Replacing Bridge
Autostrade reiterated that it could replace the destroyed infrastructure within eight months with a new steel bridge. The company will stop charging tolls in the area until reconstruction is completed and it said it's planning new roads to ease congestion.

Bomb Detonates At Italian Headquarters Of Salvini's League Party
A bomb claimed by an anarchist group detonated on Thursday in front of the provincial Italian headquarters of Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's League party, according to Corriere Del Veneto, citing local police in the northeastern town of Villorba.
Police reportedly intercepted an internet communication recently which discussed bombing the League's headquarters, according to Corriere Del Veneto.
The League party is part of the new Italian coalition government headed by Giuseppe Conte, while the head of the League is Italy's new Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, who assumed office on June 1 and immediately began blocking human trafficking efforts by NGO ships ferrying Libyian refugees across the Mediterranean.
Salvini wrote in a Tweet "They try to stop us, but violent and delinquents do not scare us. Let's go forward, stronger than before."

Italian PM: No Doubt Contractor Was Responsible For Ensuring Safety of Bridge
Italian PM declares 12 month state of Emergency,
Says No Doubt Contractor Was Responsible For Ensuring Safety of Collapsed Bridgete of Emergency,
The bridge was constructed in the 1960s, and, according to a two-year-old document leaked by the unofficial Wikileaks Italy Twitter account, needed massive repairs.
On Wednesday Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte approved a twelve-month state of emergency requested by the Liguria region. The official also added that the company Autostrade per l'Italia was responsible for ensuring the safety of the collapsed bridge because it was stipulated by the concession agreement to do so.
"The meeting of the Council of Ministers has just ended. Almost all members of the government took part, some over the phone, excluding only those who were absent for personal reasons. I am pleased to announce that we satisfied the request of the president of Liguria and introduced a state of emergency for a year," Conte told reporters.
The prime minister added that five million euros had been allocated from the national emergency fund to conduct primary works to eliminate the damages caused by the incident.
arlier in the day, Italian transport minister Danilo Toninelli announced that the government had begun revoking motorway concessions after the bridge collapse in Genoa, adding that it would also seek to impose "significant fines" on the company Autostrade per l'Italia, Atlantia SpA unit managing that stretch of the highway.
The Morandi Bridge in Genoa collapsed on Tuesday, burying dozens of people and cars. According to Italian police, 38 people died and at least 7 sustained serious injuries due to the incident. Over 200 emergency service workers conducted rescue operations at the site.

'NGO ships will only see Italy on postcards': Italy's Salvini vows to keep ports closed all summer
No NGO rescue ship carrying migrants will be allowed to dock in an Italian port, the country's interior minister Matteo Salvini has said, following a unanimous decision by EU leaders to review migration policy.
Commenting on the outcome of almost 10 hours of tense discussion between he 28 European leaders on the pressing issue of migration, Salvini said the agreement was too opaque, and warned that it had better not bypass Italy's interests again.
"NGO rescue ships will only see Italy on postcards," the interior minister told Radio Capital on Friday, reaffirming that Italy would not yield when it comes to migration.
Dubbed "the Sheriff" in the Italian press, Salvini insisted that whatever was decided during the EU summit would not alter the fact that Italian "ports will remain closed throughout the summer" to all NGO rescue ships that try to dock.
Although migration talks, which concluded only at dawn on Friday, had reportedly left Italian PM Giuseppe Conte satisfied, Salvini insisted that he did not "believe in words, because until now, it has always been 'viva Europe' at Italy's cost."
With more than 640,000 migrants crossing the Mediterranean to reach Italian ports since 2014, Italy has become the primary destination for migrants and NGO ships. Interior Minister Salvini and his coalition partner, Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio, have repeatedly slammed NGOs for being involved in illegal human trafficking.
Although numbers have plummeted dramatically this year, with just 14,500 migrants arriving to date, Salvini vowed to not only stop the influx - but also to proceed with massive deportations.

Looks like the EU migration policy's are backfiring on the leaders, like Merkel. ( gee who would have guessed,kek)
This story is a good cautionary tale for those who support open borders.
Europe was fucked up and ruined by those policys.
YOU SOW WHAT YOU REAP.
Will Italy's new PM bring down Merkel? German leader fights to stop migrants reaching her borders as Conte demands more EU help… while Hungary says migrant 'invasion must stop'
German Chancellor attending European summit on migration in Brussels today
Merkel has warned the crisis could become the 'make-or-break' issue for the EU
She said that tighter immigration controls of before 2015 must be re-established
Italy's new PM Giuseppe Conte has threatened to block any joint EU statement
Austria's chancellor Sebastian Kurz said 'sea rescue is not a ticket to Europe'
Angela Merkel is facing increased pressure from Europe's heads of state and looks likely be ousted if today's talks on the migrant crisis fail.
The German Chancellor warned that torrent of migrants arriving on Europe's shores could 'make or break the EU' as European leaders sat down to discuss strategy on Thursday afternoon.
Merkel has been faced with open rebellion in the past two weeks, both from her own coalition partners and from other EU leaders.
Most notably, Italy's new hardline Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, has put the German Chancellor under pressure by suggesting his country could block any joint EU statement if fellow members fail to do more to help his country tackle the crisis.
Right-wing Hungarian premier Victor Orban also heaped pressure on Merkel by fiercely declaring 'the migrant invasion must be stopped' as he arrived at the conference in Brussels.
Merkel is meeting European leaders today knowing that she must agree a deal on migration to appease her coalition partners and save her career.

——-UPDATE FROM ITALY——
Eurogroup ongoing.
Our Prime Minister, Patriot Giuseppe Conte, right now is fighting alone against the whole Merkel/Macron/northern cabala. Everybody is trying to force him to accept the immigrants program. He says NO. He's thinking to VETO the EU program. Steel balls.
Tomorrow: discussion over banks and austerity. Italy is going to say NO again. Meanwhile, mr.Conte will be at the White House on July 30 to share a beer with our friend the God Emperor.
Italians on socials are saying: "One month of endless pleasure! My body can't go on with this!" Are we already tired to WIN? Not at all!
See ya in Washington! (If Q invites me at the front lawn Q barbecue, of course… it's my #1 wish!)

Italian Prime Minister to Meet Trump in July
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US President Donald Trump will welcome Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to the White House on July 30, his administration said.
"The two leaders will meet for a private conversation, followed by an expanded bilateral meeting," the White House said in a statement.
The two leaders will look to deepen cooperation in addressing global conflicts and promoting economic prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic, it went on to say.
"The President and Prime Minister will also recognize the historical and cultural ties between our countries, which underpin the bilateral relationship," the administration added.
According to the press release, the United States values Italy as an important ally within the NATO military alliance, a leading partner in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a nation that is key to stability in the Mediterranean region.

Q Research General #2359: California Uber Alles Edition
Italian Deputy PM: Very Existence of United Europe to be Decided Within the Year
Ahead of the EU summit at the end of June, where the latest disagreements within the bloc over migration policy are expected to be on the agenda, Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has lambasted Paris for "lecturing" Rome and resisted Germany's plans to turn away refugees which have been registered in other countries.
The leader of the Italy's Euro-sceptic League party, Matteo Salvini, who was appointed the Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister at the beginning of June, has warned that the future of the European Union is at stake in an interview with the German weekly news magazine Spiegel. According to the top Italian official, the upcoming talks on the joint budget and the results of the European elections, scheduled for 2019, will show if the whole creation "has become meaningless."
"Within a year, it will be decided whether a United Europe will still exist or not," Salvini told the German media outlet.
He lashed out at the way decisions are made within the EU, lambasting the reform drafts waived by the French and German leaders ahead of the upcoming EU summit.
Drafts written in advance by other countries and then sent by e-mail are not in line with our working style," Salvini told the German magazine.
Italy's Say in Germany's Migration Row
Speaking on the differences among the bloc members, Salvini has slammed Berlin's plan to deport asylum seekers from Germany if they have been registered in other EU countries or already denied asylum in the country.
"We can't take a single person more. On the contrary, we want to hand over a few," said the leader of the League party, advocating for harder stance on migration, in the interview with Spiegel.
Italy, which has been the EU's principal gateway for migrants coming from Africa across the Mediterranean, will be among those states, impacted by the proposal of Salvini's counterpart from Germany, Horst Seehofer. His "Masterplan for Migration" has already caused a row within the long-time alliance between Merkel's Christian Democratic Union and Seehofer's Bavarian Christian Social Union, and put Germany's coalition government in jeopardy.
While the CSU backed the "migration masterplan," Merkel has refused to accept his suggestions, and continues to push for a Europe-wide solution to the migration crisis instead. According to the Chancellor, this plan could undermine the principle of free movement within the EU and violate certain international laws on refugees. Seehofer's two-week ultimatum to sort out the issue has been accepted by Merkel: on July 1, after the EU summit, Merkel is due to inform the CDU leadership about the state of her talks with the European states that have been most affected by the migration crisis.
Salvini admitted he's aware that he can contribute to Merkel's downfall, but opposed the allegation that he had such an intention. He also stated that the refugee issue is not the only apple of discord in relations between Rome and Berlin, pointing at significant disagreements over economic policy, European banking reform and the German foreign trade surplus.
No More Lessons From France
Merkel wasn't the only one at whom the Italian Deputy Prime Minister took aim, as he also lambasted French President Emmanuel Macron, stating France should finally stop "lecturing" Italy. The two countries recently had a diplomatic row over the NGO ship Aquarius, which had over 600 African migrants aboard. France criticized Italy for rejecting the vessel, which later led to an exchange of jibs and finger-pointing for irresponsibility until Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte settled the issue during their meeting.

Q Research General #2347: What Will Friday Bring? Edition
NOTABLE?
Steve Bannon shitstarter extraordinaire
also-June doesn't look like it's gonna be any better for Francis
https:// www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-06-20/bannon-salvini-and-powerful-catholic-cardinal-are-gunning-pope-francis
The three conservative Catholics came together earlier this month when Bannon was in Rome to celebrate Italy's new populist coalition government run by Salvini, along with Five Star Movement leader Luigi Di Maio and Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. During his visit, Bannon took a side-trip to the 800-year-old Trisulti monastery under development by conservative UK catholic Benjamin Harnwell.
Harnwell runs a conservative Catholic organization, the Dignitatis Humanae Institute - which was "founded to help Christian politicians defend their faith in the public square."
The monastery will host events with speakers like Bannon and Burke and conservative Christian leaders.
…
Harnwell and his organization are an important connection between Bannon and Burke. Harnwell is the one who first introduced the two, according to a New York Times article that is displayed on Harnwell's website. Bannon spoke at one of Harnwell's' conferences by grainy video link back in 2014 during which he warned that the migration exodus would lead to a rise in populism. Burke was the keynote speaker the year before. -Daily Beast
Burke, meanwhile, is one of the pope's harshest critics - openly challenging Francis' ability to lead the church while campaigning for limitations on papal powers. Burke has openly called Islam a threat, and is an open supporter of President Trump.
Burke has been getting closer to Salvini, who visited him this week in Rome. It was not their first meeting. Salvini, meanwhile, closed Italian ports to NGO rescue ships this month - forcing several ships full of asylum seekers to divert to Spain and France.

Q Research General #2332: "Trolling Is Fun (Part Deux)" Edition
Trump, new Italian prime minister Giuseppe Conte forge unlikely bond
ROME - One is a flamboyant billionaire from Queens famous for speaking off the cuff, the other an obscure law professor from a small southern Italian village who rarely departs from his prepared remarks. But among the leaders of the world's industrialized countries, President Trump and newly installed Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte seem to have forged an unexpected bond over two of the world's prickliest geopolitical questions: the treatment of migrants and the global role Russia should play.
While the U.S. is drawing concentrated fire from many of its closest allies for its border and immigration policies, Italy has drawn ire from many of the same critics for turning away refugee rescue ships. At the Contentious Group of Seven summit this month in Canada, Mr. Conte was the only leader to voice support for Mr. Trump's suggestion that Russia - which had been booted from the exclusive club after its invasion of Crimea in Ukraine - should be allowed to rejoin. Mr. Trump seemed appreciative of the support from Mr. Conte at the G-7 gathering, even as he was taking shots at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the summit's host, over trade and other issues. "The new prime minister of Italy is great," Mr. Trump said in an interview on Fox News in Singapore, where he traveled after the G-7 summit for his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. "He's very strong on immigration, like I am."
Mr. Trump cited his Italian counterpart in an effort to rebut media reports that he was isolated at the summit and continued the charm offensive on Twitter. Mr. Conte "will be honored in Washington, at the White House, shortly ...," Mr. Trump tweeted June 9. "The people of Italy got it right!" Mr. Conte, who has never held elective office, seemed to be trying to walk a fine line at his first major international get-together, saying both sides had a point in trying to deal with the challenge from the Kremlin. "Italy thinks it's important to have a dialogue with Russia, but this doesn't mean that the system of sanctions can be overcome overnight," he said in Canada. Despite his low-key manner, Mr. Conte shares with Mr. Trump a delight in upsetting the political establishment and the dominance of traditional political parties and orthodoxies. "If 'populism' is the attitude of the ruling class to listen to the people's needs ... and if 'anti-establishment' means aiming at introducing a new system able to remove old privileges and encrusted power, well [the new government] deserves both these epithets," he said in his inaugural speech to the Italian Senate this month.
Blooming friendshipMany Italians appear not to know quite what to make of their hitherto obscure new leader's new best friend. But some say Mr. Conte provided a lone reaffirming voice for Mr. Trump in a venue he is known to dislike. "It does seem the two men have found common ground on some difficult areas," said Arianna Montanari, a professor of political sociology at Rome's Sapienza University. "They are both part of the same trend. Will anything change for the White House because Italy has some of the same views? Will the Italian government be bolstered by the situation? Maybe a little. But the real news is that the anti-establishment wave that created Brexit and then Trump's victory has now rolled over Italy."
Analysts said the face of that trend in Italy is not Mr. Conte, but rather Matteo Salvini, leader of the anti-establishment League party and the powerful minister of the interior in Mr. Conte's government. Mr. Salvini is a longtime admirer of Mr. Trump. When Mr. Salvini was just the leader of a regional political party two years ago, he traveled to the U.S. expressly to meet and pose for a photo with candidate Trump. Mr. Salvini is the main author of the policy to turn away most refugee rescue ships headed for Italy from northern Africa that created a crisis within the European Union this week. Although Mr. Salvini has not formally called for Russia's return to the G-7, the League has been dogged by reports of Russian ties in recent years and, like Mr. Trump, Mr. Salvini says he is an admirer of Russian President Vladimir Putin. "For now, at least, it seems Salvini will have the biggest say in what direction the Italian government will head," said Ferdinando Nelli Feroci, a former Italian diplomat who is now president of Italy's Institute of International Affairs. "But Conte is the head of government, he has the final say, and Conte clearly has sympathies for much of Trump's agenda."

Conte, who was inaugurated June 1, backed President Trump's comments that Russia should be allowed back into the G7 summit after being voted out in 2014.
Trump made his claim Friday before departing for the G7, formerly G8, summit in Canada.

Italian Populist Leaders Hold Rally, Warn Migrants "It's Time to Pack Your Bags"
Italy's new populist leaders commemorated the founding of the Italian republic by attending a pomp-filled military parade Saturday - and then promised to get to work creating jobs and expelling migrants.
"The free ride is over," League leader Matteo Salvini, Italy's new interior minister, warned migrants at a rally in northern Italy. "It's time to pack your bags."
The pledge of mass deportations to come was a reminder that Italy has a staunchly anti-immigrant, right-wing party in its governing coalition - and that the European Union will face a whole new partner governing its fourth-largest economy.
Earlier, Salvini joined Premier Giuseppe Conte and the rest of the newly sworn-in Cabinet to view the Republic Day parade. Italy's aeronautic acrobatic squad flew low and loud over downtown Rome trailing smoke in the red, white and green of the Italian flag.

EU in flux as US alliance creaks, populists rise in Italy
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) - Certainties Europe has relied on for decades seem to be crumbling: that the U.S. is a reliable trade partner, and that the founding members of the EU all remain committed to the bloc.
On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on European steel and aluminum, dismissing Europe's pleas, and an anti-EU populist government took office in Italy. Added to Britain's expected departure next year from the European Union, the milestones show a region entering a new state of flux, with potential implications for the prosperity of its people and global relations.
"Germany and France should very quickly show joint political leadership now," said Daniela Schwarzer, director of the German Council on Foreign Relations.
That role would belong in large part to Germany's Angela Merkel and France's Emmanuel Macron when it comes to strengthening Europe's currency union. Collectively, the EU could seek to ease worries about trade by strengthening commercial ties with other partners like Japan, China and countries in South America.
But the trade relationship with the U.S. is the biggest in the world, and will be hard to make up for, if the U.S. and EU escalate their spat by imposing counter-tariffs on each other. U.S. trade helped Europe recover from the devastation of World War II and enriched U.S. companies that sold consumer goods to the continent. A souring in relations could also have implications for cooperation in other spheres, like security.
"The situation is worrying, it could escalate," said the EU's trade chief, Cecilia Malmstrom, adding that the tariffs could hurt global economic growth. "The United States is playing a dangerous game."
The EU officials were far more cautious in their reaction to the political situation in Italy, for fear of further provoking supporters of the new government led by the anti-establishment 5 Star Movement and the anti-immigration the League. But they were likely not less worried, having seen European financial markets plunge this week on Italy's political chaos.
Law professor and political neophyte Giuseppe Conte was sworn in Friday as the head of Italy's populist government. The two parties plan tax cuts and more spending, including a basic income for the poor, that would likely clash with EU limits on deficits. An initial failure to agree with President Sergio Mattarella on a government led to a sharp sell-off in Italian markets Monday and Tuesday.
Italy, one of the original signers of the 1957 Treaty of Rome that created a common market and paved the way for today's European Union, has the second heaviest debt load in Europe after Greece, at 132 percent of annual economic output, and the market tremors underlined the currency union's ongoing vulnerability after a 2010-2012 debt crisis.
The parties' rise to power in Italy will be a blow to supporters of the EU, as it could embolden anti-EU parties, which have won elections in some countries in Eastern Europe, like Hungary and Poland. And it comes just as the EU enters a key six months of negotiations with Britain on the country's exit from the bloc.
To stir things up a bit more, Spain's government lost a no-confidence vote Friday and conservative Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy was replaced by socialist Pedro Sanchez.
The developments leave other EU leaders looking for a strategy ahead of a summit on June 28-29. The meeting was originally supposed to agree on how to strengthen the EU and the euro based on proposals from Macron, whose election victory in May 2017 over nationalist euroskeptic opponent Marine Le Pen gave a temporary sense that the tide of populist disContent had been turned back.
Hopes for an agreement at the summit have narrowed to a few issues, such as upgrading the eurozone's bailout fund for troubled countries. Others have been rejected or kicked into the long weeds because countries like Germany fear of sharing financial risk with shakier members. The European Commission has proposed a 30 billion euro fund to help troubled eurozone countries with investment spending over a seven-year period.
And the disputes with the U.S. go far beyond trade. Europeans disagree with Trumps' decision to abandon a deal with Iran to limit its nuclear program and to withdraw from a global climate change pact. The U.S. president has also criticized European countries, particularly Germany, for not fulfilling their commitment to spend at least 2 percent of GDP on defense.
Not everything is falling apart. Europe's economy is growing at a healthy pace. Italy's populists might not carry through on all their spending plans to avoid a crisis in financial markets. How far the trade conflict will escalate isn't clear yet either.

More detail on new Italian government:
(ANSA) - Rome, May 31 - Law professor Giuseppe Conte got a mandate as premier from President Sergio Mattarella Thursday and said his 18 new ministers, five of them women, would be sworn in Friday afternoon for a "government of change".
Accepting the mandate, he said the new government would work to lift Italian living standards. "We will work intensely to achieve the political objectives anticipated in the (government) contract, we will work with determination to improve the quality of the lives of all the Italians".
The government comes 88 days after the inconclusive March 4 general election and Mattarella said "a complex iteinerary has concluded.".
The government rests on an alliance and government contract between anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Luigi Di Maio and anti-migrant Euroskeptic League leader Matteo Salvini.
Both will be deputy premiers and hold key ministries: Salvini at interior where he will implement a promised crackdown on undocumented migrants, and Di Maio at a new joint industry and labour ministry where he will roll out a basic income for job seekers and poor families.
Di Maio said "thanks you all, really. The government of change is a reality! We dedicate all this to (late co-founder) Gianroberto Casaleggio. I embrace you all! See you tomorrow!" The M5S said "today is a historic day. The 5-Star Movement is set to govern the country". It urged everyone to celebrate "all together" on Saturday, Republic Day, saying "Luigi Di Maio and all our spokesman (MPs) will be there, in piazza from the Mouth of Truth in Rome at 19:000 to embrace and charge up with the energies we will need to finally change Italy".
Salvini said on Facebook "commitment, consistency, listening, work, patience, good sense, head and heart for the good of Italians. Perhaps we're finally there after so many obstacles, attacks, threats and lies. Thanks for your trust friends, I love you and know that I'll need you".
later at a rally in Sondrio, he said "my commitment is for the security of 60 million Italians. "I will make felt my, our closeness to the forces of law and order, who do not deserve to be fooled by criminals who enter and exit jail every quarter of an hour, and we'll see them left there longer".
Salvini said "open doors in Italy for decent people and a one-way ticket for those who come to Italy to create problems and think they can be maintained for life. 'Go home' will be one of our priorities". He said "I'd like to give a nice cut to those 5 billion euros, that seem a bit much to me" (for migrant reception).
Salvini said "I want to make Italy a protagonist in Europe again. With good manners, without causing confusion, but I'm fed up of governments with cap in hand. We are second to none".
He said "the mafia has always made us and will always make us sick, wherever there is injustice I will try to be there with a team. I ask you to be close to us because you can't do anything on your own".
salvini said "I will be the minister of everyone" and the new government is a "government of good will, of decent people without debts to anyone. I will be in an office a lot but as much as possible among you, among people, And may God preserve us".

MIGA - Make Italy Great Again! Let the people be heard!
(ANSA) - Rome, May 31 - Law professor Giuseppe Conte received a government-formation mandate from President Sergio Mattarella Friday night and presented his list of ministers, who will be sworn in at 16:00 Friday.
Anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Luigi Di Maio and anti-migrant Euroskeptic League leader Matteo Salvini earlier agreed to form a new government with Conte as premier.
President Sergio Mattarella called Conte at 21:00 Thursday to hand him a second government-formation mandate, after his first effort foundered over an anti-euro economy ministry pick.
The two leaders said after talks Thursday that "an accord has been reached for an M5S-League government with Giuseppe Conte as premier".
They said earlier there were the "conditions" for a political government.

Italy heads for populist government after months of stalemate
Giuseppe Conte
Italy is advancing swiftly towards a populist government on its second try after 5-Star Movement and League leaders announced a compromise deal.
The leaders of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and the right-wing League announced a deal aimed at overcoming the president's objections.
The premier-designate tapped at the beginning of the week to head an interim government of technocrats has stepped aside.
President Sergio Mattarella called a meeting with the populist's pick: a law professor whose attempt to form a government failed four days ago.
Political neophyte Giuseppe Conte, who skipped teaching a class at the University of Florence to return to Rome, was summoned to meet Mattarella at the presidential palace Thursday night.
After months of stalemate followed an inconclusive parliamentary election in March, the Italian political landscape has shifted into overdrive.
Earlier in the day, the leader of the 5-Star Movement, Luigi Di Maio, and League leader Matteo Salvini canceled other engagements to meet at the parliament.
They issued a statement stating they had achieved "the conditions for a political government".
In a Facebook message, Mr Salvini said it took "dedication, coherence, listening, patience, good sense, head and heart" to get a second chance while facing "many obstacles, attacks, threats and lies".
Luigi Di Maio5-Star Movement leader Luigi Di Maio (Massimo Percossi/ANSA via AP)
The possibility that the 5-Star government and the League could come up with a government acceptable to Italy's president buoyed financial markets, despite their eurosceptic views.
A political government would avoid an early election that investors worry would be seen as a referendum on the euro.
The 5-Stars and League together won a narrow majority in the March 4 election.
Matteo SalviniThe League leader Matteo Salvini (Giuseppe Lami/ANSA via AP)Giuseppe LAMI
They presented their proposed Cabinet over the weekend, but Mr Mattarella vetoed their choice of a eurosceptic economy minister, saying the candidate's views put Italians' savings at risk.
With Mr Salvini unwilling to consider a different economy minister, the League-5-Star lineup collapsed.
Mr Conte, whom the president had tapped as premier-designate before former International Monetary Fund official Carlo Cottarelli, relinquished his mandate.
After the market tanked at the prospect of a Cottarelli-led technical government and early election, Mr Di Maio came back with a proposal to replace the Contested ministerial candidate, while Mr Salvini said he was not closing any doors.

>>1599776 interesting BUT not a done deal yet
Italy's two populist parties have reached a new agreement to form a government, days after a standoff with Italy's president over their stance on the euro abruptly ended an initial bid to assume power.
A joint statement by the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S) and the far-right Lega announced that political newcomer Giuseppe Conte, who had been seen as a controversial choice, was still slated to serve as prime minister. The relatively unknown law professor was due to meet Italy's president, Sergio Mattarella, on Thursday night.
The new deal has not yet been blessed by Mattarella, who earlier this week nominated a technocrat, Carlo Cottarelli, to serve as prime minister. Those plans were put on hold after Mattarella opted to give the populists more time to reach a new agreement.

Italy's faith in the eurozone is set to be tested in fresh elections in the autumn after the president, Sergio Mattarella, installed an interim prime minister to lead a new government after a bitter falling out with the country's populist parties.
The political crisis that has engulfed Rome threatens to bring about another bitter battle over the future of the EU, two years after the UK voted for Brexit. The uncertainty promped a selloff on Italian markets on Monday.
Mattarella, who as president has the power to nominate the head of government and ministers, asked Carlo Cottarelli, a former International Monetary Fund official, to become interim PM after refusing to accept the nomination of Paolo Savona, a Eurosceptic, for the role of finance minister.
Mattarella said appointing Savona, 81, who has called Italy's entry into the euro a "historic mistake", would have risked the confidence of foreign investors and destabilising the country.
Savona had been put forward for the role by the Five Star Movement (M5S) and the League, which had been attempting to form a government. The rejection on Sunday night prompted the resignation of Giuseppe Conte, the two parties' choice to serve as prime minister.
The parties' leaders, Luigi Di Maio of the M5S and Matteo Salvini of the League, expressed outrage at Mattarella's intervention and, in an extraordinary move, called for a mass mobilisation against the president on 2 June. Di Maio and others called for Mattarella's impeachment, a move almost unheard of in Italy, but he later backed off from the threat.
"I call citizens to mobilise, make yourselves heard, it's important that you do it right now. We will organise peaceful and symbolic demonstrations," Di Maio said. He also called on Italians to drape the Italian flag outside their windows in protest against Mattarella.

'Unprecedented institutional clash': Italy fails to form govt over anti-EU economic minister
Published time: 27 May, 2018 19:06
Edited time: 28 May, 2018 09:55
Italy's PM-designate Giuseppe Conte said he's given up on attempts to form a government after President Sergio Mattarella rejected his candidacy for economy minister. The country may now face a new election by the end of 2018.
"President [Mattarella] has received Prof. Giuseppe Conte …. who returned the mandate given to him on May 23 to form the government. The president has thanked him for his effort in fulfilling this task," Ugo Zampetti, an official within the presidential administration, told RAI. After the talk, Mattarella said that he was going to make a decision on the new parliamentary vote in the country in the coming hours.
Conte confirmed his failure to form "the government of change" in Italy, saying: "I can assure you that I did my utmost to try to fulfill this task."

Look deeply into the eyes of this man…this is what evil looks like.
The cabal has tightened its grip on Italy. They will do all they can to derail the newly elected government. Apparently, even presidents can be bought, and this Italian president got strict orders from his Rothchild handlers not to allow the new populist government to move forward. He is doing everything he can.
They were going to start with mass deportations of 500,000 migrants from Italy. And they were going to move the country further to the right and away from the grip of the evil EU. Already, the Rothschild banks in Europe were freaking out about a possible return to the Lira. How ever would the Rothschilds continue to enslave the people of Italy if the new government told them to fuck off and triggered yet another Article 50? What would happen to their precious EU if another big country backs out?
The Italians are learning now that it will not be easy for them to escape. Massive riots planned for tomorrow. I hope they do it. Its time the people stood up and did something to stop the fuckery that the EU is doing to them and their countries. Italy finally now has a government that is listening to the voice of the people. They need to drag Sergio out into the streets, cut his balls off, and stone him to death for his treason.
EYES ON Italy. Something big is about to break there. Conte suddenly resigned as Prime Minister. If they manage to impeach Matarella there will be likely be new elections and this would be a bad omen for the EU.
I'm expecting some major false flags from the cabal in Europe in the near future—particularly in Italy. Watch for it!

Italian PM Giuseppe Conte Close To Resigning, Reports Local Media
Italy's Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte is close to stepping down from his post to make way for the formation of a new government with a greater majority, reported local media outlet on January 25. The La Repubblica newspaper cited Conte as saying, "My aim is to find an agreement that gives a clear political perspective to the government until the end of the term". This came after Conte had survived a vote in Italian Senate last week and urged the centrist or unaligned lawmakers outside the coalition to join hands with his minority government. However, only handful members have responded.
Italian PM's minority government was engulfed in chaos after a junior partner, the Italia Viva party headed by former premier Matteo Renzi resigned from the cabinet in a row over the handling of COVID-19 pandemic. Even though Conte survived a subsequent confidence vote in parliament on January 19, he remained unsuccessful in securing an absolute majority in the Senate. This implies that Italian PM will struggle in order to enact any policy agenda unless he draws new support. The crisis began with former Italian PM Matteo Renzi reportedly orchestrating the resignations of two ministers from his small but influential Italia Viva party. It was also not the first time Renzi shook Italy's politics after becoming premier in 2014 by out-manoeuvring and unceremoniously deposing then-Democratic Party member Enrico Letta as Italy's leader. Eventually, Renzi fell from power nearly three years later after gambling his popularity on a constitutional referendum. However, now, the former Florence mayor might bring down Conte who Renzi has broadly accused of not properly managing the global health crisis. While Renzi has reportedly said that he is only following his conscience, it comes at a great political cost for the nation. He has even asserted at a press conference earlier this month, "Italia Viva did not start the crisis. It has been going on for months".
However, with Renzi suspending support for Conte and resignation of two Italia Viva ministers, Italian PM is working to steer support among the independent lawmakers. Conte still has the backing of the Democratic Party and the 5-Star Movement, both have instead denounced Renzi's approach as irresponsible. Since he failed to secure enough backing in Senate, Conte is reportedly likely to submit his resignation to Italian President Sergio Mattarella.
This would push the nation under a technical government. As per reports, a general election in Italy is unlikely and the current majority would like to hold on at least January 2022. However, there are still concerns that the right-wing opposition would gain strength and lead a new government.

QRB General #966: RIP Ivana Trump Edition
Matteo Salvini just watching this from afar laughing ass off see below -picrel
Italian PM Mario Draghi's resignation rejected by President Sergio Mattarella
Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi told the country's cabinet in a statement Thursday he will resign after losing the support of the populist government coalition partner Five Star, but Italian President Sergio Mattarella later rejected the resignation. "I want to announce that this evening I will my tender my resignation to the president of the republic," Draghi said on Thursday evening. "Today's parliamentary votes are a very politically significant fact. The majority of national unity, which supported this government since its inception, no longer exists," he said in the statement.
Mattarella later said in a statement that he was rejecting Draghi's resignation and asked for an "assessment of the situation" from Draghi before parliament to explain his reasoning. "The pact of trust that this government's actions have been founded on came undone," Draghi's office had said in the statement to the Italian Cabinet.
Five Star refused to support the government's $23 billion economic aid package for businesses and families, triggering an economic crisis for Italy. Draghi, the former head of the European Central Bank, has led a unity government coalition since February of 2021. The government won a confidence vote Thursday in the Senate, but Draghi had warned that without Five Star's support the government could not stand.
Five Star leader Giuseppe Conte indicated his group is willing to continue talking with Draghi and said the group is "available for dialogue and to give a contribution to the government."
Mattarella and other leaders in the parliament are looking to hold the current government coalition together at least until elections scheduled for early 2023 for the good of the nation. Enrico Letta, leader of Italy's Democratic Party, said on Twitter that the country has five days ahead of Draghi's address to parliament to see if they can pull their government out of the "tailspin" it appears to be entering.

QRB General #557: The Black and White of 8Kun Edition
Deep state and deep church
Now, in the face of a criminal plan it would be at least logical to denounce it and make it known, in order to then be able to avert it and try those who are guilty. The list of traitors should start with the heads of government, with cabinet members and elected officials, and then continue with the virologists and corrupt doctors, the complicit officials, the leaders of the armed forces incapable of opposing the violation of the Constitution, the sold-out journalists, the cowardly judges and the obsequious unions. In that long list that will perhaps be drawn up one day, the leaders of the Catholic Church should also be listed, starting with Bergoglio and not a few of the Bishops, who have become zealous executors of the will of the prince against the mandate received from Christ. And certainly, in that list, one would know the extent of the conspiracy and the number of the conspirators, confirming the crisis of authority and the perversion of civil and religious power. In short, it would be understood that the corrupt part of the civil authority - the deep state - and the corrupt part of ecclesiastical authority - the deep church - are two sides of the same coin, both instrumental to the establishment of the New World Order.
However, in order to understand this alliance between civil and religious power, it is necessary to recognize the spiritual and eschatological dimension of the present conflict, framing it in the Context of the war that Lucifer, ever since his fall, has waged against God. This war, whose outcomes have been decided ab æterno with the inexorable defeat of Satan and the Antichrist and the overwhelming victory of the Woman encircled with the stars, is now approaching its conclusion. This is why the forces of darkness are so wild at present, so impatient to cancel the name of Our Lord from the earth, to not only destroy his tangible presence in our cities by tearing down churches, demolishing crosses, and suppressing Christian holidays; but also by eliminating memory, cancelling Christian civilization, adulterating its teaching, and debasing its worship. And in order to do this, the presence of a faithful and courageous Hierarchy, ready to suffer martyrdom in order to defend Christian faith and moral teaching, is certainly an obstacle. This is why, from the very initial phase of the globalist plan, it was essential to corrupt the Hierarchy in morals and doctrine, to infiltrate it with fifth columns and sleeper cells, to deprive it of any supernatural yearning, and to make it vulnerable to blackmail thanks to financial and sexual scandals; all with the purpose of excluding it and eliminating it once its purpose has been achieved, according to established practice.
This infiltration operation began at the end of the 1950's, when the project of the New World Order was just taking shape. It began its own work of subversion a few years later, with the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, in view of which the election of Roncalli and the expulsion of Cardinal Siri, Pacelli's "dauphin" or probable successor as pope, represented a reason for enthusiasm both for the progressive and modernist element within the Church, as well as for the communist, liberal, and Masonic element of the civil world. Vatican II represented within the ecclesial body what the Tennis Court Oath [of the French Revolution] was for civil society: the beginning of the Revolution. And if on many occasions I have drawn attention to the subversive nature of the Council, today I believe that a historical analysis deserves attention in which apparently disconnected facts acquire a disturbing significance, explaining many things.
Liaisons dangereuses
As Michael J. Matt has reported in a recent video at The Remnant (here), today we are beginning to put together all the pieces of the mosaic, and we discover - by the very admission of one of the protagonists - that Msgr. Hélder Câmara, Archbishop of Olinda and Recife in Brazil, had a meeting in those years with the young Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum and theorizer of the Great Reset. Once Schwab recognized Câmara for his opposition to the traditional Church and his revolutionary and pauperist theories, he invited him to the Davos Forum, considering his participation in this event as extremely important in view of the project of the New Order. We know that Hélder Câmara was among the organizers of the "Pact of the Catacombs," which was signed by about forty ultra-progressivist Bishops on 16 November 1965, a few days before the closing of the Council. Among the heretical theses of that document, there is also collaboration in the establishment of "another, new social order" (here, n. 9) based on justice and equality. And we are not surprised to learn that among the signatories there was also Msgr. Enrique Angelelli, the auxiliary bishop of Cordoba in Argentina, "[a] point of reference for then-Father Jorge Mario Bergoglio" (here). Bergoglio himself declared right from the beginning of his Pontificate that he agreed with the demands of the Pact of the Catacombs. On 20 October 2019, during the Synod on the Amazon, the celebration of the pact between the conspirators was repeated in the Catacombs of Santa Domitilla (here), confirming that the plan begun at the Council had found fulfillment precisely in Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Far from distancing himself from the ultra-progressivists who support him and who determined his election at the last Conclave, Bergoglio never misses an opportunity to give proof of his perfect coherence with the plan of the New World Order, beginning with the collaboration of Vatican commissions and dicasteries with environmentalism of a Malthusian matrix and their participation in the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, a global alliance with the Rothschilds, the Rockefeller Foundation, and large banks. So on the one hand we have David Rockefeller with the Trilateral Commission, and on the other we have Klaus Schwab, who is related by marriage with the Rothschilds (here), with the World Economic Forum, and both of them are arm-in-arm with the head of the Catholic Church to establish the New Order by means of the Great Reset, as has been planned since the 1950's.
The world depopulation plan
Among the associates of this pactum sceleris there must also be counted some members of the Pontifical Academy for Life, which recently had its organizational structure overturned by Bergoglio himself when he removed the members who were most faithful to the Magisterium, replacing them with supporters of depopulation, contraception, and abortion. There should be no surprise at the Holy See's support for vaccines: in June 2011 the Sovereign Independent carried the headline on its front page: "Depopulation Through Forced Vaccination: The Zero Carbon Solution!" (here). Beside the headline, a photograph of Bill Gates was accompanied by a quote from him: "The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive services [abortion and contraception], we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent." This is what Bill Gates said eleven years ago. Today he is one of the shareholders of the Black Rock group that finances the pharmaceutical companies that produce the vaccines, one of the main sponsors of the World Health Organization (WHO), and also of a myriad of public and private entities connected to health. At his side we curiously find George Soros, the "philanthropist" of the Open Society, which together with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation recently invested in a British company that produces swabs for Covid testing (here). And since we are talking about economic issues, I would like to recall that the Holy See has held shares worth about ?20 million in two pharmaceutical companies that have produced a contraceptive drug (here), and more recently it invested in a fund that guaranteed very high profits in the event of a geopolitical or pandemic crisis thanks to speculation on international currencies, the "Geo-Risk" fund managed by the Merrill Lynch investment bank, which had to close it because of its skyrocketing yields after the first few months of the pandemic (here). Other capital, coming from the "Peter's Pence" collection, had been used to finance various other initiatives, even collaborating with [Italian businessman] Lapo Elkann, whose endeavors include Rocketman, the autobiographical film of Elton John. To say nothing of the real estate speculations and the purchase of the London building at 60 Sloane Avenue that the news coverage has amply informed us on, a purchase that I know, from a reliable source, was decided on by Bergoglio himself. And then there's China: always in the name of "coherence" and the "church of the poor for the poor" that is so dear to Bergoglio's heart, there are those who believe that the secret Accord prepared by the Jesuits and former-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick may have obtained substantial funding from the communist regime in Beijing in exchange for the Vatican's silence over the persecution of Catholics and the violation of human rights (here).
Deep state interference
There have been manifold examples of interference by the deep state in the life of the Church. We cannot forget the emails of John Podesta and Hillary Clinton, which show the intention to oust Benedict XVI from the papacy and so to initiate a new "springtime of the Church" that would be progressivist and globalist, which later came about with the resignation of Benedict and the election of the Argentine. Nor can we overlook the interference of entities and institutions that are anything but close to religion, such as the B'nai B'rith, in dictating the direction of the "renewal" of the Church after Vatican II and most of all under this Pontificate. Finally, we should remember on the one hand the disdainful refusals to grant audiences to conservative political and institutional personalities, and on the other hand the passionate smiling encounters with leaders of the Left and of progressivism, along with expressions of enthusiastic satisfaction on the occasion of their election. Many of them owe their success to having attended universities run by the Society of Jesus or circles of Catholicism that in Italy would be called Dossettian,1 where the network of social and political relations constitutes a sort of progressive Freemasonry and ensures dazzling careers for so-called "adult Catholics," those who use the name "Christian" without behaving consistently with Christian faith and morality in their service of public affairs: Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi; Romano Prodi, Mario Monti, Giuseppe Conte, and Mario Draghi; to name only a few. As we can see, the cooperation between the deep state and deep church is long-standing and has now produced the results hoped for by its supporters, with very serious damage to both the State and religion.
The closure of churches in early 2020, even before the civil authorities imposed the lockdowns; the prohibition of the celebration of Masses and the administration of the Sacraments during the pandemic emergency; the grotesque ceremony performed on 27 March 2020 in Saint Peter's Square (here); the insistence on vaccines and their promotion as morally legitimate despite having been produced with cell lines originating with aborted fetuses; Bergoglio's declarations that the genetic serum represents a "moral duty" for every Christian; the introduction of the "Green Pass" health passport in the Vatican and more recently in Catholic schools and in some seminaries; the Holy See prohibiting Bishops from announcing that they are against the vaccination obligation, promptly endorsed by certain Bishops' Conferences - these are all elements that demonstrate the subordination of the deep church to the orders of the deep state, and the way in which the Bergoglian church is an integral part of the globalist plan. If we combine all this with the idolatrous cult of the pachamama right under the arches of Saint Peter's Basilica; the insistence on irenicist ecumenism, pacifism, and pauperism; the endorsement of situation ethics and the substantial legitimization of adultery and concubinage in Amoris Laetitia; the declaration that the death penalty is morally illicit; the endorsement of left-wing politicians, revolutionary leaders, and abortion activists; the words of understanding for LGBT issues, homosexuals, and transsexuals; the silence over the legitimization of homosexual unions and the even more disconcerting silence over the blessing of sodomitical couples by German Bishops and priests; and the prohibition of the Tridentine Mass with the abolition of Benedict XVI's Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum, we realize that Jorge Mario Bergoglio is carrying out the task entrusted to him by the globalist elite, which wants him to be the liquidator of the Catholic Church and the founder of a philanthropic and ecumenical sect of Masonic inspiration that is meant to constitute the Universal Religion in support of the New Order. Whether this action is being carried out with full awareness, out of fear, or under blackmail, nothing detracts from the gravity of what is happening, nor from the moral responsibility of those who promote it.
The Luciferian matrix of the New World Order
At this point, it is necessary to clarify what is meant by the "New World Order," or rather what its creators mean, regardless of what they say publicly. Because on the one hand, it is true that there is a project, that certain people conceived it and are charged with carrying it out; but on the other hand it is also true that the inspiring principles of the project are not always disclosed, or at least they cannot be openly admitted to be closely related to what is happening today, since such an admission would arouse opposition even from those who are the most peaceful and moderate. It is one thing to impose the "Green Pass" with the excuse of the pandemic; but it is quite another to recognize that the purpose of the passport is to accustom us to being tracked; and still another to say that this total control is the "mark of the Beast" of which the Book of the Apocalypse speaks (Rev 13:16-18). The reader will forgive me if, in order to demonstrate my argument, I must resort to using quotations of such gravity and wickedness that they arouse bewilderment and horror - but this is necessary if we are to understand what the real intentions of the architects of this plot really are, and the true nature of the epochal battle they are waging against Christ and His Church.
In order to understand the esoteric roots of the thought that lies at the foundation of the United Nations, once longed for by [19th-century Italian political activist] Giuseppe Mazzini, we cannot fail to consider characters such as Albert Pike, Eliphas Levi, Helena Blavatsky, Alice Ann Bailey, or other disciples of Luciferian sects. Their writings, published since the late nineteenth century, are quite revealing.
Albert Pike, a friend of Mazzini and a fellow Freemason, gave an address in 1889 in France to the highest levels of Freemasonry, which was then reprinted on 19 January 1935 by the English journal The Freemason. Pike declared:
That which we must say to the crowd is, we worship a god, but it is the god one adores without superstition [...]. The Masonic religion ought to be maintained in the purity of Luciferian doctrine by all of us who are initiates of the highest degrees. If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay [sic] [the God of the Christians] whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion of science, would Adonay and his priest calumniate him?
"Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also God. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods: darkness being necessary to light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive... the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil.
This profession of faith in the divinity of Satan is not only an admission of who the real Great Architect that Freemasonry adores is, but also a blasphemous political project that passe through the ecumenism of Vatican II, whose first theorist was Freemasonry:
The Christian, the Jew, the Moslem, the Buddhist, the follower of Confucius and Zoroaster can unite as brothers and join together in prayer to the only god who is above all the other gods (cf. Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma, ed. Bastogi, Foggia 1984, vol. VI, p. 153).
And the identity of the "only god who is above all the other gods" has been well explained in the preceding quotation.
In another letter, Pike wrote to Mazzini:
We will unleash the nihilists and atheists and provoke a formidable social cataclysm that will clearly demonstrate to the nations, in all its horror, the effect of absolute atheism, the origin of barbarism and bloody subversion. Then citizens everywhere, forced to defend themselves against a world minority of revolutionaries, [...] will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, finally revealed to the public's view; a manifestation that will be followed by the destruction of Christianity and also of atheism, which will be conquered and crushed at the same time! (cf. Letter of 15 August 1871 to Giuseppe Mazzini, Library of the British Museum, London).
It will not escape notice that the "great heresy of separativeness" sounds curiously in agreement with the ecumenism condemned by Pius XI in his Encyclical Mortalium Animos, an ecumenism that was adopted by the Declaration Dignitatis Humanae and recently merged into the doctrine of "inclusivity" formulated by those who allowed idolatrous worship to the pachamama to be offered in Saint Peter's Basilica. It is clear that the term "separativeness" intends to designate in a negative key the necessary separation of good from evil, of true from false, of the right from wrong that constitutes the criterion of moral judgment of human behavior. "Inclusivity" opposes this distinction, allowing oneself to be deliberately contaminated by evil to adulterate the good, equating the true and the false in order to corrupt the former and give legitimacy to the latter.

Q Research Canada #10: A Week to Remember Edition
We are experiencing the outer bands of the biggest D5 Hurricane to hit our Republic.
The election was the warning bell and we got a sample taste of "the Storm" on Nov 3.
Depending who the electoral college selects on Dec 14 is when the eye wall of Hurricane Sidney-Wood will hit and make landfall.
The devastating back end of the wall will hit Jan 6th. You'll see it when VP Pence certifies the election results on the floor of congress... what mayhem will happen there?
From then on it's going to shit real fast, either the Cabal will have stolen the election which I seriously doubt, OR the Cabal will let loose the dogs of war upon this country.
We will see cities burn.
The Cabal has not expended all rounds yet, they have reserves in place and they will utilize those assets so to underestimate them will be foolish. They do not follow the law or rules or ethics, they are fighting for their survival.
They are also stupid by telegraphing their intentions, take the congratulations from Pope Francis, Merkel, Boris Johnson, Marcon, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. They are all Globalists desiring One World Order. Don't forget Biden's plans to rejoin every globalist organization our President took us out of. Brennan and Killary and others are also preening themselves or surrogates for involvement with Biden's cabinet.
Who has yet to acknowledge Biden? Putin and the Ukrainian Baltic countries as well as the Arab and Asian countries. That should tell you everything.
General Mike Flynn knows this, ask yourself, why is he now becoming more vocal? He's been running silent and deep this entire time. He recognizes the threat... so should you Anons.
This is not a game Anons.
Shit is about to get real.
Enjoy time with your families this Thanksgiving, pray and pray some more and prepare for the worst.
Ding 🛎 Ding 🛎
The Storm approaches!

100.000 Migranten warten auf Abfahrt nach Italien
Laut Geheimdienstquellen könnte eine große Flüchtlingswelle bevorstehen.
Mehr als 100.000 Menschen in Libyen warten einem Medienbericht zufolge auf die Abfahrt nach Italien. Das meldete die italienische Tageszeitung "La Stampa" (Dienstagsausgabe) unter Berufung auf Geheimdienstquellen. Der libysche Premier Fayez al-Serraj, dessen Regierung von den Vereinten Nationen unterstützt wird, hatte zuletzt von 800.000 möglichen Abfahrten gesprochen.
Bürgerkrieg
"Sollte die Offensive des libyschen Generals (Khalifa) Haftar gegen die Regierung in Tripolis zu einem offiziell von der UNO anerkannten Krieg werden, würde sich der Status der Menschen in Libyen ändern. Die italienische Regierung könnte sich nicht weigern, ihnen zu helfen", kommentierte das Blatt. Italien könnte die Politik der geschlossenen Häfen, die der rechte italienische Innenminister Matteo Salvini vorantreibt, nicht mehr verteidigen. Unter jene Migranten, die nach Europa kommen wollten, könnten sich viele Libyer mischen, so "La Stampa".
Das Thema Libyen stand im Mittelpunkt eines Telefongesprächs zwischen US-Präsident Donald Trump und dem italienischen Premier Giuseppe Conte am Montagabend. Der italienische Regierungschef hatte sich zuletzt vor dem Parlament in Rom wegen der jüngsten Entwicklungen in Libyen besorgt gezeigt. Libyen war bisher vor allem Transitland für Migranten aus anderen afrikanischen Ländern auf dem Weg nach Europa.

Q Research Italia #1: Un nuovo inizio
The left-wing Italian government has spent ?1.57 billion on supplies from Chinese companies during the Wuhan virus pandemic.
From January 31st to November 17th, the leftist coalition spent ?4.73 billion, much of which went on medical supplies and other items, with 36.25 per cent of the cash going to foreign companies.
Of the 1.71 billion euros spent abroad, 1.57 billion, or 91.7 per cent, went to Chinese-owned firms. South Korean companies were the second-largest foreign beneficiary of the pandemic in Italy, earning ?29 million, newspaper Il Giornale reports.
Giorgia Meloni, leader of the national conservative Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, criticised the fact a third of the cash spent during the crisis ended up with Chinese companies.
Meloni labelled the figures "disturbing" and claimed they revealed an "absolute dependence" of the government led by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime in Beijing.
"The misfortune within the misfortune is that while having to face a health, social, and economic emergency, the government was totally subservient to foreign interests," she said.
"This is the worst political class in the Italian republic's history: incapable, visionless, enslaved to foreign interests, and animated only by the desire to have a career and secure their seats," she added.
Italy and many other European countries looked to Chinese suppliers for medical goods in the early days of the pandemic but found large amounts of the personal protection equipment (PPE) they purchased to be defective.
A report from The Spectator's U.S. edition in April claimed that China had forced Italy to buy coronavirus supplies that Italy itself had donated to the country just weeks before.
In October, the British government was revealed to have spent upwards of £320 million to companies linked to the Beijing regime, which was largely spent on PPE and ventilators.

Q Research General #9429 Who is Listening??? Edition
Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos tweeted out on Friday night that Attorney General Bill Barr is currently on official business in Italy.
As was previously reported there are suggestions that Italian officials were working with the US Deep State in 2016 to set up Trump campaign officials.
Attorney General Barr traveled to Italy days ago to investigate Obama administration's spying on the Trump campaign.
George Papadopoulos: AG Barr has been on official travel in Italy for the past two days. As I explained months ago, on Fox and in my book, Mifsud was an Italian operative handled by the CIA. Italy holds the keys to the kingdom. Right government, right time.
The Italian News reported this past weekend that Bill Barr and John Durham met with Italy's spy chief Gennaro Vecchione twice in August.
According to La Repubblica Barr and Durham demanded proof that Italy, led by former Prime Minister Renzi, took part in the spying on candidate Donald Trump.
Italy's spy chief Gennaro Vecchione met twice in August with U.S. Attorney General William Barr and prosecutor John Durham to help an investigation into the scandal involving President Donald Trump's possible ties to Russia, one of Italy's leading newspapers reported.
The first meeting took place on Aug. 15 at the U.S. Embassy in Rome, according to an article published Sunday by La Repubblica newspaper. The second happened on Aug. 27 and involved Vecchione, the head of Italy's Department of Information Security, as well as the chiefs of Italy's internal and external security agencies.
Both meetings were authorized by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, Corriere della Sera reported earlier this week...
...During the first meeting, Barr and Durham asked Vecchione to reveal the whereabouts of Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud, according to La Repubblica...
...According to La Repubblica, Barr and Durham also demanded proof that Italy, led at the time by Matteo Renzi, took part in the international conspiracy to discredit Trump's campaign. In an interview published Sunday by La Stampa, Renzi dismissed the allegation as a "farce" and says he never met Mifsud.
At the Aug. 27 meeting with Barr and Durham, the heads of Italy's security services had nothing to say to support the theory, according to La Repubblica - despite Vecchione's initial promises.
