PERHAPS ITALY ISN’T DEAD YET

Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday, March 9, 2018 and on today’s Report I will be talking about the Italian elections held last Sunday.  The elections in Italy are very relevant to us here in America as we will see.  This Report will argue that Italy has joined a growing number of nations around the world which are starting to resist the destruction of their culture and heritage.  What does it all mean?  I will attempt to answer that question with this Report, and I thank you for joining me.

Italy is a once great nation that has fallen on hard times recently, thanks to EU policies and regulations.  It is the EU which dictates to member nations that they must resettle migrants, even if they have to displace their own people to do it.  It is the EU’s common currency, the Euro, which keeps member states from devaluing their own currency to help them deal with debt.

In the last four years, 620,000 migrants have settled in Italy.  The Italians don’t really ask them to come but they don’t stop them either.  Italy sticks out like a boot into the Mediterranean, which makes it a very convenient landing place for migrants from Libya and North Africa.  Hundreds of thousands try to cross into Europe on leaky boats, which have to then be rescued and delivered to Italy by the Italian navy.

As a result of the tremendous welfare costs of the migration and other policies of the EU and compliant Italian politicians, Italy is suffering in other ways as well, i.e., 11% unemployment and 34% youth unemployment, a measly 1.5% economic growth compared to the EU average of 2.4%, no growth in productivity at all, extremely high government debt across the board, declining birth rates among Italians as the population fell by 100,000 last year except for immigration, and an aging retired population with 30% over 60 years of age.

All this has destroyed faith in the EU promise of the benefits that liberal democracy would bring to the continent.  Migration continues to inflame, and the more the people who are concerned about it are demeaned by the press and EU bureaucrats, the more resentful they become.  The mainstream politicians have no answer for those who don’t want their country turned into a third world slum.

The Italian people of one village chose to celebrate their success in removing migrants from their town by baking a community cake.  In the village of Sesto San Giovanni near Milan, the people have been actively working to remove migrants and in celebration of their 200th migrant leaving they baked a giant pistachio cake with 200 spelled out in green icing.  Everyone was invited to come celebrate and have a piece of cake.  This celebration by the blue collar people of one little village is evidence of a new attitude forming across Italy and that is -- kick them out.  We shouldn’t have let them come here in the first place because, thanks to the stifling EU economic policies, we are having all the trouble we can handle just feeding ourselves.

The Italian voters decided last Sunday to punish the mainstream parties and politicians they blamed for the migrant crisis and for the stagnant economic conditions.  There’s not much point in our trying to sort out all these parties but the thing to remember is the old EU elites who refused any limits on immigration were turned out and a new group of what the media calls "extremely right wing parties" prevailed.  They are called "extreme" because, as I said before, they are tired of seeing their country turned into a third world slum, and they are not longer afraid to express that sentiment.

The two parties with the most votes, the Five Star Movement and the League, are currently trying to each be the one to form a majority government under the I...
