<nettime> The Vaffanculo Day |
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 re all, worth to mention (i miss Lorenzo's italian-mambo!), as it filled up many hearts in Italy and, despite the strong opposition of the regime, also some newspapers: the first V-day (8 september 2007) - for which Beppe Grillo writes Today marks the start of the new Renaissance forged by Italians. On 8 September 1943, the Royals scuttled off to Pescara. Behind them they left Italy in a shambles. Today nothing has changed. Parliament is occupied by unauthorized people chosen by Party secretaries. They no longer scuttle away - they don't need to. They live in a world apart, with body guards and television. They are the unauthorized ones. Nobody elected them. They have taken away our freedom to vote for a candidate. believe me when i say you shouldn't take the above just as the same old italian rant or demagogical operation: it is developing in a big and non-exclusive grassroot movement producing a very detailed and objective analysis of the italian political status, without omitting the necessary irony and sarcasm to oil such a monstrous dialectical process. i remember Beppe Grillo in TV when i was a kid, he appeared few times every several years reaching incredible audience shares and success, but promptly censored and banned from the media after every performance. now he incarnates the phenomenon - seen already in Sabina Guzzanti's ri8t tv program - for which italian satyrical scene needs to cover a political void to disclose national facts which would never be told otherwise... http://www.beppegrillo.it/english.php after a buildup that lasted months, starting with Beppe's speech at the European Parlament, the V-DAY was filling up piazza maggiore in Bologna 5 days ago and it's now gathering results and reactions in various contexts. some people thinks it will just dry up as yet-another-italian-party; or what else? BTW nice post about gladio! Beppe was one of the first persons ever mentioning that in public, back in the days it was a secret... ciao - -- (_ http://jaromil.dyne.org _) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG6Uk/e2QxhLU0C14RAoR1AKDtKgpNQVnsvolfwobopOCzEXd/UwCgrKQA xcuTjq4R8HS4g0ue29dPYRU= =DjmB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@kein.org and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
