  • The Journalist

    Indro Montanelli is an Italian Monument! The best and most correct journalist of the XX Century. Somebody that worked in the USA, Canada, Greece, Finland, spoke multiple Languages and put together his capacities and professional ethics in the: Il Giornale! He lost it because, he was not of the Right, Left, Center Catholic, or any party. He was Indro Montanelli, with no goverment to follow or to support. No City or town, paid for Publicity in his Newspaper. Benito Mussolini, when asked by one of his advisers if they needed to killed Montanelli, who openly criticised in the good and Bad the government of the “Ventennio”. His answer: No! Take him to work for me, I need at least one Person who Tells me what he thinks! Not just the Yes men who Surround me!
    Montanelli, was sent to meet Hitler, who was talking of a final solution, and new weapons. When Mussolini, asked Montanelli about it, Montanelli’s answer as Indro Montanelli: “Duce the Final Solution is the peace! Hitler is crazy, not to trust” His Newspaper and his life project, was poorly taken over by Silvio Berlusconi, to make propaganda of himself! Now the Airport of Milano Malpensa is named Silvio Berlusconi. So we need to dedicate the Colosseum, the Pantheon or the Duomo of Milano to Indro Montanelli.

  • Herodoto - Historian and Journalist

    Herodoto loved and got inspiration of all cultures, but he dislikes the waste of human and material sources on the pyramids of Egypt. Symbol for him of decadence. The public can´t be used for personal pleasure!

  • Back to the Past

    Einstein, like other jewish scientists, got inspired from the Torah, to develop his own projects.
    It was a main thinking for them, the existence of G-d. The more they studied and discovered Natural phenomenons they understood, there must be something greater to give a sense to this perfection. Avraham the first jew, was a nomad from Babilonia, who needed to travel in the complete loneliness, confronting all kind of dangers and having the courage to travel from strain to strain. He started to feel and think that is something more over us, like a director of our capacities.
    214 Jews got the Nobel price. Albert Einstein was one of those, but it was his friend and professor Max Planck(Marx his official name) who introduced Einstein to the path of success. We are not alone, we do, live, succeed, next and thanks to others, with somebody else higher directing this adventure called life.

  • Black Thursday, Again

    Black Thursday Again!

    This is a sad memory that unfortunally is back in our real economy. The colapse of the economical system, is near since after the crisis of 2008, the answer of the politicians, was just to use the Savings to make people Kind of happy. Trillions of USD and Euros just given to Banks, insurances, electrical companies, etc. They never used the money to promote a new order, where people can have credits to open their own Business, or to invest in the existent ones, with better developments and Technologies.
    Where the state reduces the taxes to their local Production, to make it competitive in their national and foreign economy. To request the companies to invest in the human resources, with capacitation courses organised by theirselves (Companies) giving the chance to Upgrade their current position. What they did is to think that China with their low prices, and all their Technologies, they can copy from the Occidental companies that are located and producing in their territory (China) will be a solution for the liberal market.  This was an innocent behaviour, as was to accept the Yuan, a currency without international regulations to directly exchance for Euros and USD. For Europe it will be a dark period. For the USA, that since last month can’t have Petrodollars, the printing of money, or how was working american economy since more that 40 years given credits to the people to just buy and buy will be an old memory.

  • The Main Secret For National Security

    Nicolo Machiavelli advises the Prince, that the only way to not get invaded and in consequence loose his position, and in case of war be assisted by many alliance armies,
    is creating a wealthy and developed land, where all the neighbouring kingdoms, ask you for advice to progress as well, giving you their military assistance. Machiavelli said as well that there is not enough army to protect a poor and miserable place where the citizens are unhappy, without the essentials. “There my Prince“ he said you will be raising your lands, power, and head!
    A developed country doesn’t need to loose money and human resources with its own army, they will have all the soldiers and weapons of their allies!

  • Rosebud - America First

    Adolph Hitler asked William Hearst, why(Hearst) was not that appreciated in the USA as in his opinion(Hitlers) he needed to be. Hearst answered to the Fuhrer that Americans just want DEMOCRACY! Hearst was the owner of the most influential newspapers of his era, he sold millions of copies, where mainly were pictures of any kind of horror fact, tragedies, murders, accidents etc; His Main Public was a worker that didn't know how to read or to write, at least not in English. Millions at the time especially immigrants! He made a fortune, with the diffusion in many cases of Fake News, in others with the causality to have always his “journalists” pointing the cameras knowing something will happen! Like with the explosion of the USS Maine in Cuba. He sent two boats full of his people waiting for the tragedy and the consequent declaration of war from the USA to the Kingdom of Spain. He was investigated by direct order of the US President Mc Kinley. After that the 2 time president was murdered! Hearst wanted to be president of the USA, neither of the two traditional parties wanted him. So he created his own, thinking that all his “readers” will vote for him! Orson Wells, in his monumental Film Citizen Kane, he tries to give a human Form to Hearst(Charles Foster Kane in the film). Talking at the end of his life about Rosebud, this childhood memory of tender and clean thoughts! Great film! Great Orson Wells! William Hearst was not a good man!
    To the US citizens, don't allow him back!

  • Joe Biden or Donald Trump

    Biden or Trump
    Its not like: To be or not to be!
    The actual president is the last, and the less, from a generation of classic American politics, that had a growing economy, Petrodollars, and many geopolitical influence around the world. So, Mr Biden is not the present or the future. About his age etc, he was already known to not be so sharp 40 years ago. 
    Mr. Trump is just a YouTuber, Tik-Toker, a Superstar telling what most people will like to hear. He will look like any influencer for his own personal grow, nothing new. He’s not young either but, he can promote a new calendar or phisicosomatic rule to calculate the age so he can perfectly confirm his age as 35 years old. 
    Both are a big lose of time and opportunities for the US citizens. G_d bless America!

  • Nation, Country, Territory

    Territory, Country and Nation, are 3 different concepts, that just a Nation doesn’t need of the other 2, to exist.
    A territory is in constant growing or diminution in history, countries change in any possible way, trying in difficult Moments to call them selves a nation in urgent search of patriotism. But a nation is the only source of Inspiration that is always present in history. This is the case of the Jewish nation, especially after the destruction of the second temple by the Romans and the Diaspora of the Jewish people, all over the world, searching for a new life, a promise of a more secure present and a Future back in the Holy Land. A wish that was just possible with the re-foundation of Israel. A Rabbi will say that is the Torah, the ruler and the attachment of the jews to their tradition, that is essential for the Jewish nation. A very simple Jew like me, thinks that our Culture is rich in moments especially the difficult, where this inner G-d that has the Jews, becomes a Sound in the dessert like 3000 years ago. It Is in the loneliness of danger and unknown that a Jew is a Jew. All the Great decisions were taken at the limit of our sources and forces, and when we talk between us we agree just on that. 2 Jews have 3 thoughts, but a Jew is a Jew and we are a nation, especially when we are at the limit, it is a pride that made Avraham believe, understand and become the first Jew and our father.

  • The Power Of A Smile

    I met Marcel Marceau twice. Once when I was a kid, and the last time, when I went to one of his performance sent by a cultural Magazine to write about him. I had the pleasure to speak with him afterwards. I didn’t know that the creator of “The Voice of the Silence” was able to speak like a normal human.

    We talked about his Sketch of “The Tribunal” a master piece that reminded me how tragic is the world of humans. He just let me understand that this piece is very incomplete since the Reality and the sufferance can be worse. The eyes of this Giant, a little human physically, but with two Planets instead of eyes, on his face, that make you reconsider what we truly know about Astrophysics. This heroic Jew who saved many Kids during WWII, died suffering for years the tragedy of the French Justice. It’s true that I meet him a third time, I found his grave under a beautiful tree when I was walking through the Père-Lachaise. Finally he became physically a Giant in the form of a Tree.
