THE ALMOST NAKED TRUTH ABOUT ITALIAN POLITICS: AFTER TWO CONSERVATIVE MESSIAHS FALL THE NEW ONE WEARS A STRING BIKINI
SILVIO BERLUSCONI WIKIPEDIA
MATTEO SALVINI WIKIPEDIA
GIORGIA MELONI WIKIPEDIA
(WARNING: SOME MATERIAL MAY BE DISTURBING IN NATURE)
In the 1990's Italian politics was revolutionized with the rise to power of media magnate Silvio Berlusconi.
Berlusconi, who once called himself a Socialist and supported the Socialist Party, rebranded himself as the leader of Forza Italia (Forward Italy). He took the name from a soccer team.
Berlusconi swept to victory gaining control over public media in addition to the private media already under his tutelage. His huge victory followed corruption scandals that engulfed the existing political parties in Italy,
Berlusconi had his day and his following for more than 15 years.
Meanwhile his enemies used the legal system against him with a slew of allegations financial and sexual.
But then came the economic downturn of 2008 and divisions in his political ranks eventually leading to Berlusconi's resignation as Prime Minister in 2011.
The "Right" in Italy would eventually find a new champion as the decade moved forward in the "Northern League" eventually spreading beyond its base in northern Italy to become simply "The League" led by Matteo Salvini.
Salvini would distinguish himself as a passionate opponent of illegal immigration.
When elections in 2018 made Salvini a major force in Italian politics alongside the Five Star Movement, an anti-Establishment party with leftward leanings, he decided to participate in a coalition government that would make him Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister.
This gave Salvini a platform to crack down on the movement of migrants across the Mediterranean into Italy.
Salvini drew anger and legal actions against him in response to his crackdown on migration.
Salvini chose to bring down his governmental alliance with the Five Star Movement which then sought an alliance with the Democratic Party locking Salvini out of government.
Salvini's hope of new elections from his move did not materialize.
Eventually in 2021 a new "technocratic" government led by the former President of the European Bank Mario Draghi was formed.
It got the support of Salvini and the League. Among other things the Draghi government introduced vaccine passports in Italy to deal with COVID.
The Draghi government finally brought down this summer losing its previous support from the now less popular Matteo Salvini and "The League".
In recent years a new party on "The Right" in Italy was slowly making it's rise.
The "Brothers of Italy" a party that traces its roots back to the Italian Social Movement (MSI) of those who followed Benito Mussolini the famous-infamous Fascist ruler of Italy.
The party's leader Giorgia Meloni began her political involvement in the youth group of the MSI at the age of 15.
She became the Minister of Youth in a government led by Silvio Berlusconi and in 2012 was one of the founders of the "Brothers of Italy" eventually becoming its president in 2014.
"Brothers of Italy" reached out aligning itself with "The League" of Salvini and eventually getting into a three party alignment of "The Right" with Berlusconi's "Forza Italia".
As she rose to power Italian media took notice of her plenty of notice of her when "Oggi" magazine published bikini pictures of Meloni. She left very little to hide in her string bikini.
The mainstream media has consistently raised the specter of an "extreme rightist" taking power their offense often coming from Meloni's defense of traditional family values...SKY NEWS UK STORY
Meloni distancing herself from Benito Mussolini and the Fascist past and trying to "mainstream" herself identifying with British philosopher Roger Scruton and speaking at the CPAC conference in Orlando earlier this year...
As the other luminaries on the Right in Italy as well as the Five Star Movement have faded in popularity Italian voters have found a new alternative in the "Brothers of Italy" and its leader Giorgia Meloni.

"extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice...
moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue"
The words of Senator Barry Goldwater the man who would have been America's first President of Jewish heritage.
Words that seem to ring truer than ever at this moment in history.
And to think they said Goldwater admired Nazi Germany in a CBS News report in July of 1964.
Some things never change when it comes to Republicans and Conservatives.
Jewish Holy Days coming up Jewish families needed to hide their real traditional names when they arrived in the USA adopting names like "Goldwater" some went even further with names like "Smith" and "Miller".

Radio stations used call letters with meanings in them when they set up shop in the USA 100 years ago.
Those call letters above could be translated:
"World End Of Civilization"
If "Climate" policies are actually implemented alone we might as well say it. But there is so much more going on that seems to point to the reality of that phrase.
In 1948 here in York, Pennsylvania a young preacher was preaching in a tent who would in a few years become world famous. His name Billy Graham.
Graham's career propelled by mainstream media as in William Randolph Hearst.
Billy Graham was always linking the world events to his Gospel message events like the emerging Cold War with the Soviet Union.
The notion of a Nuclear Armageddon.
I listened to radio preachers in the 1970's talking Armageddon in the place it's expected to take place, Syria.
We the Americans the good guys and of course the Soviets (Russians) the bad guys.
It was more believable back then America Good, Russia Bad.
I was a young drunken hypocrite.
Wasn't it Glenn Beck who said the other week regarding us here in the USA that we are:
"not a religious and moral people"?
I have my own 'religious drunk' story to tell caught up in all the emotions not looking at the facts of my own wrongdoing?
I could get whooped up abortion at one time (It still isn't right) or even racism (It's not right either) but I was too high on myself my ego and other things to see clearly.
Getting back to Billy Graham his son Franklin Graham coming here where his dad did back in 1948 tomorrow and the "Progressive Christians" (Fronting For The Democrats?) are upset about it.
They wanted venues here in Pennsylvania to cancel the event...
FRANKLIN GRAHAM COMING TO YORK SUNDAY. A CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION SAYS THE TOUR IS 'UNHOLY'-YORK DAILY RECORD
Her Majesty The Queen "The Defender Of The Faith" laid to rest last Monday...
"As we have become both less Christian and less monarchist, we have become less free. As the democratic state has grown keener and keener to make us healthier and safer, it has also grown keener on pushing us around.
It denies us the freedom to decide to be good and instead makes us good by putting us under surveillance, searching our pockets, demanding proof our identity and hemming us in with fences.
Is it harsh to point out how useless the same State has been at protecting our own shores or dealing with crime?"

Police in Minnesota and their families and friends confronted by a relentless prosecution of police following the killing of George Floyd.
There were tensions between the Police and the Leftists before George Floyd died.
I saw the "Support The Police" signs in the suburban communities in 2018 when I visited the Twin Cities area.
(As an aside I hope no one is offended just because George Floyd was a drug addict does not give license for anyone to put their knee on his neck for eight minutes.
I am Pro-Life I don't think I should either kill another person or be so angry with another person that I would want to kill them the God of My Understanding says that's wrong.
Based on my experience I wonder what kind of an addict Derek Chauvin was that left him so disconnected from another human being that the knee was applied to the neck in a life ending action.)
This week Thomas Lane given more punishment over the death of George Floyd.

WHEN THE COPS ARE FED UP AND ORGANIZED THEY CAN WIN ELECTIONS
The Republican machine had their candidate for Sheriff the incumbent in my county decades ago but the local law enforcement agencies fed up with lax and unprofessional operation of that office said enough.
They put forward the police chief of the city in the Republican Primary.
They organized through their unions and they got their people to stand outside the polls off-duty officers, retired police etc. etc. and they beat the GOP machine.
The police unions, the network of police won the Primary Election in a Republican dominated county and won the General Election against a weak Democrat Party.

IN SUNNY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THE CORRUPTION FIGHT BETWEEN ENTRENCHED DEMOCRATS AND THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF AS HE FIGHTS FOR HIS RE-ELECTION
Several months I ago I saw a hit piece on CNN targeting Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva who is a Democrat who defeated the incumbent sheriff four years ago.
This week the California Democrat Attorney General Rob Bonta intervened to take a corruption probe away from the sheriff's office.
The homes of former State Senator now Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and LA Couny Civilian Oversight Commissioner Patti Giggans were raided by the sheriff's department.
Kuehl suspected of arranging no-bid contracts to Giggans non-profit organization.
The two are close friends.
Kuehl has been a rather high-profile Democrat politician flashing her LGBTQ identity along the way remembered in the past for her child-star role in the "Dobie Gillis" TV series some 60 years ago.
People inside the county government apparently gave both Kuehl and Giggans advance notice of the sheriffs department raid.
Retired Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna has been put up to take out Sheriff Alex Villanueva in the November election...

Italy is voting Sunday September 25th and let's have an Italian Political Update the famous French singer Dalida sang the theme song in Italian "Pezzettini di Bikini"

As she rose in political prominence the woman expected to become the next Prime Minister of Italy at the age of 45 was indeed on the beach in a string bikini illustrating that she had less to hide than other politicians who have been jaded by the wild ways they played politics disappointing Italians in the end and fading in popularity.
