And not with my tax dollars!

‘No military should ever be allowed to invade a sovereign nation’, we were told (with the obvious exceptions of Iraq and Afghanistan).

The invasion of Ukraine was a matter of first principles, we were told: but more than that, it was a world battle that we were obliged to join. Vladimir Putin was pure evil, Vladimir Zelensky was saint-like, self denying, brave, honest, handsome (de gustibus)and Zelensky was fighting for the very same ideals upon which the US was founded: American news outlets actually compared Zelensky to George Washington with straight faces. And once again, almost everyone fell for the spindoctors’ propaganda: just take at look at all of the Ukrainian flags waving from balconies around the city.

A battle against tyranny abroad in the service of democracy at home

After almost a year, only idiots could believe any of this. Whatever you think about the conflict in Ukraine, it is clear that Zelensky has no interest in freedom or democracy. In fact, Zelensky is far closer to Lenin than to George Washington. He is a dictator. He is a dangerous authoritarian who has used over 100 billion US tax dollars to establish a one- party police state in Ukraine. This is not an overstatement.

Over the past year, Zelensky has banned opposition, he shut down critical media by force, he has arrested his political opponents, and has sent soldiers into Churches. Zelensky’s secret police have raided monasteries across Ukraine, even a convent of Orthodox nuns, and arrested dozens of priests for no justifiable reason whasoever, in a clear violation of the Ukrainian constitution, which is pretty much worthless at this point. And in the face of this, the Biden administration has done nothing. Has not said one word. Von der Leyen is slavering over Zelensky- the neo-Nazi pupil of her eye, promising everything: even half of her kingdom . . . the other half is for Bourla. And they all continue to push to send Zelensky more tax dollars. https://youtu.be/qKckOQnCYyA

So naturally, Zelensky has become much bolder. Last week he announced his intent to ban an entire religion: yes, he has banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and is seizing its property, all for being insufficiently loyal to his regime. And he said it out loud.

In a video: “We have to create such conditions, that any people dependant on the country of Russia won’t be able to manipulate Ukrainians and weaken Ukrainians, . . The first national security and defense council instructed the government to submit a draft law, making it impossible for religious organizations with centers of influence in the Russian Federation to operate in Ukraine.”

A free country does not ban a major religion, even if it is not fully on board with the political program of the rest of the country. But Zelensky is doing just that. His ‘cabinet’ is now devising ways to punish Christians for practicing their banned ancient religion in Ukraine: ‘Personal, economic and restrictive sanctions will be applied to any Christian caught worshipping in unapproved ways. ‘Now, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is more than a thousand years old. With the full backing of the Biden administation and Congress, Zelensky has decided to ban it. I wonder how that sits with Christian Repubblican voters? Here is the response of one Orthodox bishop to the news:

“We brothers and sisters walk with God! Do not be afraid!There are people who want to stop our Church and Orthodox faith!Then God will stop these people! Brothers and sisters, these people are starting to fight against God! They have started a war against God and Heaven! They are not real Ukrainians!Our Ukraine is a blessed and faithful Ukraine! And the whole Orthodox Ukraine prays today!”

You are not allowed to send soldiers into churches. You are not allowed to arrest dozens of priests because they refuse to bow before you, and you are not allowed to ban entire religions. So, most of the media have just ignored this. Some have made excuses .”He has to do this ‘cause there’s a war!”But there is no justification for this whatsoever. the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is not Russian: it’s Ukrainian! There is actually a long history of friction between the various centers of power within the Orthodox faith! It has no connection to the Putin government; in fact it has denounced the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Yet Zelensky’s celebrity backers in the West have said nothing.Where is G. Bush Jr., who compared Zelensky to Churchill, and praised his ‘commitment to liberty’? Will he still back Zelensky, no matter how many Christians get arrested? No matter how many Churches Zelensky siezes? We are providing state of the art military equipment to a psychopath, who may very well use it against his own people. And our tax dollars are funding the destruction of Christianity in Ukraine. Ukraininans cannot listen to media outlets that criticize the Zelensky government because they have been banned. They cannot play Russian music. No, this is not Afghanistan under the Talibans: this is Ukraine under Zelensky. Ukrainians cannot vote for an opposition party, because they have all been banned or arrested. And now their Churches are being raided and their priest arrested.

The fact that our leaders are calling this hellish form of tyranny ‘freedom’, tells you a great deal about what they have in mind for us.

Ukrainian soldiers are now using our tax dollars to make choreographed tiktok videos for social media consumption, reminiscent of those insanely irritating covid19 hospital videos:

It is just such a grotesque post-modern sci-op, and anyone who is falling for this is a duped idiot. This is the same Ukrainian defense ministry which lied about the ghost of Kiev, and the missile aginst Poland, by the way. Just as there was no emergency in the hospitals – many of them were empty, so empty that doctors and nurses had time to shake their choreographed behinds to annoying little ditties.

If the media and our leaders defend and idealize a man who silenced and arrested his opposition, silenced critical media outlets, sent the military into churches, arrested priests, sent the army into monasteries and then banned a religion, if they’ll defend all of that and call it ‘liberty’, they’ll defend anything, they have no moral compass, and those that listen to them have no historical perspective.

Another year of tone-deaf Leftist arguements denouncing ‘feminicide ‘: but do any of these individuals really care about women? Let’s look at a few facts which are purposefully ignored by the Left.

I decided years ago to distance myself from those individuals railing about ‘mass feminicide’, after noting numerous inconsistancies in their arguements and behaviour, as well as those practices that they vocally supported. (Of course, as a woman, I am obviously against violence against women; arguing against the politicization of certain tragic events does not make me automatically in favour of them – although this is the black and white world of logical fallacy in which Leftists live).

Riding on a tram some years ago with my two sons – then toddlers – I gazed up at two publicities, one beside the other, which encapsulate the cognitive dissonance representing today’s Left : one, of two children – a boy and a girl – with captions reading ‘future abuser’ and ‘future victim’, respectively; the other publicity was of the film “Twenty Shades of Grey”, or rather the propaganda tool and apologia for the gentrification of sadomaschism. In the first, the young girl is a victim ( isn’t that a rather ‘fainting violet’, Victorian persective of femininity? hadn’t feminists like Beauvoir just argued that biology is not necessarily destiny? Is there no free will in the universe? Are we simply automatons obeying biological impulses which are intended to be kept in constant atagonism, the one sex against the other? Is this a realistic representation of the relationship between men and women in Western Society?); and in the second, the young woman is ‘sexually liberated ‘ by being continuously involved in near-death sexual experiences with her ‘lover’. (therefore, violence in a male-female relationship is acceptable – even desirable, but only if the female couterpart desires it?) An aside, an interesting piece of trivia: the highest categories of spousal abuse in the United States are between lesbians, which once again demonstrates that women are often their own worst enemies – even in sexual relationships!

Violence is unacceptable in all cases. And I considered these disgusting advertisements to be acts of violence and ‘hate speech’ against my children. As a mother of two boys, and a sister to three fantastic brothers, my greatest desire has always been to raise strong, polite, respectable young men, capable of coming to the defense of women, should such an effort be required, and these advertisements were direct attacks against them. It is noxious and repugnant, as well as scientifically false to purport the idea that ALL MEN are intrinsically wired to beat women: the truth, if anything, is exactly the opposite: men are wired to defend the helpless, especially women and children. And most importantly for us women, they are also physically designed to do so. As a strong, combative woman who has played hockey and participated in martial arts (not to mention fighting with my brothers), I am the first to recognize and concede the superiour strength of men, as well as their notable capacity to withhold it.

Which is why I also consider the participation of men with lipstick in women’s sports to be a particularly brutal form of violence against women. It is one perplexing question to have these giants wearing wigs win women’s beauty pageants, the Times title of ‘Woman of the Year, women’s talent contests, university scholarships traditionally dedicated to young women, but it an entirely different situation when you have to face down a burly man in a boxing ring or on a Tae Kwon Do mat, and our young female athletes have the broken bones – and skulls – which attest to this fact. In other sports, the male levels of testosterone which begin at 12-15 times that found in the female body, their bone density, pelvic structure, larger hearts and lungs, broader shoulders and general height do the rest of the work, and whereever they are, they steal first place – which in the US often signifies winning both financial awards, scholarships and sponsorships. Where are the women who fought so long and hard to provide the women’s categories in sporting events? Why are they silent?

The greatest feminicide in World History unfolded before our eyes in Communist China, where hundreds of millions of baby girls were aborted under the one-child policy. This horrific, monumental tragedy has led to a lack of sufficient brides for Chinese men, leading to frequent, outrageous incursions of the Chinese into neighbouring territories including Pakistan, robbing them of their women in order to give birth to their sons’ children. Both on the mass feminicide and enslavement of captured foreign women in China, the Left remains silent.

The worst example of extreme, horrifying, systemic, legislated violence against women, however, is Islam. The Left’s unbridled enthusiasm and blind support of Islam has no bounds ( Adolph Hitler was also a big fan), and they are not even struck by the cognitive dissonance of their differing positions on the veil: for decades, it was stated by the Left that Mohammedan women wore their veils exclusively for traditional motives, that they were never forced or coerced, and that cultural diversity was a GOOD THING. (their true desire was to release a population bomb which would destroy the remains of the Christian West from within, but I believe they underestimated both the volatility of their weapon and the moral fortitute of the Church Militant). Over the past few weeks, as numerous young Iranian women and other young Iranian dissidents have died over the question of this cruel subjugation symbolized by the veil, we have witnessed a mysterious 180° on the part of the Left, complete with demonstations of the solidarity of female politicians shaving their hair to protest these deaths. But why now? This has been occuring regularly for fifty years, and noone has so much as whipered a word of protest. My suspicion is that this very real, very serious issue is being used as a decoy to distract the populace from the fact that people are mysteriously falling dead in the streets, and that we are funding a proxy war between the US and Russia with the taxpayers’ money.

Islam forces women to cover themselves to varying degrees, with punishments for ‘immodesty’ numerous and various, up to and including death; it sanctions pedophilia, as their ‘prophet’ had sexual relations with his wife at the age of nine; it sanctions wife-beating, lapidation for adultury, poligamy, and the abandonment of a wife and family for another woman through ‘divorce’ (eloquently described by Nobel prize winner V.S. Naipaul), which considers unveiled women to be whores deserving to be raped – hence the hundreds and hundreds of cases of European women raped by Mohammedan ‘asylum seekers ‘ – and considers women in general to be half the worth of men. Our Lord Jesus Christ taught that we are all equal: Man,woman, slave, master, Jew and Greek (Gentile), which is why the aforementioned ideology has no place on our extraordianry continent, within our schools, eroding our culture from within. Our ancestors fought valiantly at Poitiers, Lepanto and Vienna to avoid the savagery of this ideology, responsible for the enslavement of hundreds of millions of European women (“white gold”) over the course of several hundreds of years. We also fought miltant Islam – a staunch ally of Hitler – during the Second World War: let it not be that these valiant men fought in vain!

And here we reach a full circle: the true catastrophy of this Age is the fact that we have failed young people in general, but it seems we have specifically singled out young men as the scapegoats for all that has gone awry in our society: it is high time we reestablished a form of education which rewards honour, bravery, chivalry, the knowledge and understanding of male strength, the manner in which to utilize it correctly, the moments in which it is necessary to ensure its containment, its valorization, its contribution; we recognize the equality of men and women, but not their reciprocity; the sexes are not identical, but complementary.

I would close by stating the greatest act of violence against women has been to rob them of their birthright to become mothers, instilling in them the belief that any job is more dignified than taking care of one’s own children (the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, which is why governments want their hands on your children at an earlier and earlier age: not to create brilliant, free-minded individuals, but to create SLAVES); that it is possible to put career before family . . . until suddenly, it is too late to have children; that abortion (the killing of a baby in the womb) is a woman’s RIGHT, that there is no longer any moral taboo attached to the procedure, and that a woman will not live to regret the act. The truth is that the DNA of a woman’s aborted baby may circulate throughout her body for decades – up to thirty years – overwhelming the woman with regret, depression, suicidal ideation. She may be unable to have children. Or she may never fully be able to appreciate the children she has, as her unconcious is marked by her willing participation in that homicidal event. This is truely the most grotesque act of cruelty against women, which should make the world tremble, for when a woman is capable of killing her own child, there is truly no safe place in the world.

Historically, the question of women in the workplace has been divided into two political camps: on the one side, the individualist, destructive, misanthropic, radical feminist Left, which – in chorus with Gloria Steinem – insisted that ‘a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle’, leading to modern single women becoming the unhappiest category of individuals in recent generations, with depression shooting up to 3500% and the consumption of anti-depressants at record highs; that women should privilege work and career over family and child rearing by means of a mass campaign of denigration of the most important and exhausting role in the world; that even if women were to resist such indoctrination and choose otherwise, should be forced into the work place regardless, by means of record inflation and perverse levels of taxes, providing even more possibilities to the State to quantify and tax the labour of home management – the only untaxed modern form of labour prior to this phase of the modern era – through the necessity to hire domestic help; that, in the case of maternal urges and the ticking of the biological clock, it would be possible to ignore such signals from Mother Nature, delaying maternity up to and beyond the age at which women of the past became grandmothers, leading to mass infertility and the necessity to revert to unnatural and inefficient means to conception, usually resulting in tragic failure.

On the other side, the contrast to the aforementioned position has been held by the traditional Conservative camp, which has always stated that women are capable of – and have always performed – almost all occupations; that it is possible for a woman to ‘have it all’, simply not at the same time; that family should come first, followed by career, because the family – not the individual – is the building block of a healthy society. And career needs to be made a choice, not an obligation, because every Conservative understands that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, and that the role of mother is absolutely irreplacable; that dedication to family, the home and childrearing is a full-time job, and the denigration of Motherhood is leading to the collapse of society.

Giorgia Meloni, recently elected Conservative Premier of Italy – the first female Italian prime minister, and the only woman at the G20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia – has defied all categories by achieving her historically relevant premiership only recently after having become mother, which should please the Leftist harpies and their creepy male ‘feminist’ cronies in the mainstream establishment media, because she is demonstating their tenet that it may be possible, under certain circumstances, to have it all simultaneously. Yet they cannot celebrate her success, because she is a Conservative. And here we understand that there is no solidarity, no compassion, no support, no understanding, and especially. no COHERENCE in the Leftist mindset.

The various Italian Leftist propaganda rags – from Repubblica to Corriere – are now up in arms about Giorgia Meloni’s recent G20 participation, not because of the content of the discussions in which she participated, nor the positions which Italy has chosen to represent, but because she took her six-year-old daughter with her (hope she didn’t introduce Ginevra to Creeepy Joe). Whatever happened to ‘breaking the glass ceiling’?the Sisterhood’? To ‘Support All women’? To ‘Believe All women’? Should they not have included a clause explaining that all women should be supported and believed, but only if they are Leftist?

This surreal debate has all the flavour of sour grapes, as the acidic authors take their preposterous, childish ‘revenge’ on Meloni, apparently for no other reason than the fact that she is not a Leftist: “Why”, Repubblica asked, “during those four days during which complete physical, mental and emotional focus are required for a Head of State, did Giorgia Meloni choose to take her young daughter with her, creating a gratifiying, inevitable, yet extremely heavy burden?” (At this point, one might respond: ‘this is absolutely noone’s business but Meloni’s’!)”Probably, because she defines herself as ‘woman, mother and Christian’, she considers keeping her daughter near her a personal priority, because the maternal presence is a non-negotiable value, even when the State requests 48 hours of participation and absolute attention. But is it true maternal presence that which is shared with Modi and Biden, or that which participates in a bilateral discussion with Erdogan?” This pathetic jab is so ridiculous that the reader knows not whether to laugh or cry: what difference does it make if – before playing in the afternoon with her daughter, a woman speaks with Modi and Biden, or instead works in her office? As usual, the Leftist obsession with Meloni reveals the basis of its absurd, obtuse, grotesque and hypocritical mindset in all its contradictions.

Moving over to the Stampa. “President Meloni is at the G20 in Bali”, we read, ” and she has brought homework: her six-year-old daughter Ginevra is together with her. Giorgia Meloni: mamma, mammo, premier. When you’re dealing with a six-year-old, according to me, even the G20 seems like a walk in the park” (why is it that feminists find the mere idea of children to be so daunting?). “Giorgia, may I call you Giorgia? I understand you. If you cannot eradicate your sense of guilt, take her with you.” The only sense of guilt that Giorgia Meloni should experience is to have caused ‘Meloni Derangement Syndrome’ in so many leftist women, leading them to write such absurd drivel. But I’m sure she cannot help but be entertained.

Our Premier wrote this comment on Facebook: “As we return home from two days of incessant work to best represent Italy at the Bali G20 Summit, I have come across an incredible debate regarding whether or not it was appropriate for me to take my daughter with me on this four day trip. Therefore, you consider the manner in which I raise my daughter a subject that has anything to do with you? I have news for you: it does not. I have the right to raise my daughter as I choose, just as I am convinced that I have the right to do all I possibly can for this Nation, without however depriving my daughter of a mother. I hope that this response will be sufficient to bring you to your senses and occupy yourselves with more relevant subjects which are vaguely within your realm of competence.”

Having verified the final results of this election, we may now state with confidence, that Giorgia Meloni and Fratelli d’Italia – together with Lega and Forza Italia – have consolidated a decisive, Center Right-wing victory over Italy’s Leftist coalition, which has been governing Italy for the past 11 years in the form of various ‘technical’ governments, despite not having been elected. Giorgia Meloni should be confirmed as Premier, becoming Italy’s first woman prime minister, but upon this stunning victory, the Left – which has griped for decades over womenkinds’ inability to shatter the glass ceiling, and had invented sexist, obbligatory quotas of females in every workforce regardless of merit – remains silent.

Italian Conservatism – or rather the lack therof – and the fact that in Italy there is not, nor has there ever been, a Conservative Party, is today’s topic of discussion. Italians deserve a valid alternative to their radical, violent, esterofile, globalist Left, and therefore it is high time we coalesced and ratified a serious, grassroots, Conservative Movement.

The phrase ‘A choice, not an Echo’, was coined by the late, great Phyllis Schlafly, in reference to the direct interference of Wall Street (J.P Morgan, David Rockerfeller, the Bilderberg group and others) in the choice of Republican nominees, and wholesale bribing of swaths of the Republican primary electorate, in order to promote those nominees whom they could control, or who would not represent an electoral threat to the current Democrat nominee under their influence. Schlafly documented their manipulation of every election, and demonstrated that the only two elections whose results had escaped them were those of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump (discussed in an updated version) – two individuals who did not belong to America’s government establishment elite. (Without Schlafly’s book, it is unlikely that Reagan would have been elected president).

Curiously enough, in confirmation of this manipulation on the part of the central bankers to the democratic process, Bella Dodd had testified several decades earlier before Congress, stating that when she was Secretary of the American Communist Party, hundreds of card-carrying Communists had infiltrated both the Democrat and the Republican Parties, and that she had personally chosen thousands of Communists to work throughout the country in the field of Public Education, and other thousands of Communists who were sent to infiltrate Catholic seminaries. She spoke often about the fact that when the American Communist Party was unable to contact Moscow, they were told to communicate directly with figures representing the central banks, residing at the Waldorf Towers, downtown Manhattan. In other words, no party is it what seems to be, and very little of the democratic process remains, besides the personal convictions of each voter, which have been manipulated and betrayed, anyway.

In order to understand that there is no Conservative party in Italy, it is FUNDAMENTAL to comprehend that Communism and National Socialism are two sides of the same coin, and accept that Mussolini was a Socialist. With regards to Italy, it may be difficult for non-Europeans to comprehend, but for historical reasons, ‘right-wing’ in Italy has always referred to those parties who like to dabble in fascist nostalgia, whilst the Left has always been oriented towards Communism, quite literally. (Italy’s very first democratically elected government risked becoming a majority Communist government, and a satellite state of the USSR). It would therefore be incorrect to assume that this dichotomy of ‘Right’ and ‘Left’ correspond to the Anglo-Saxon notions of ‘Conservative’ vs ‘Liberal’: not only is the Left in Italy historically Communist; the ‘Right’ in Italy has been historically associated with neofascist movements, or socialist, populist movements embracing various aspects of original Mussolinian Socialism, and has never governed autonomously. One of Italy’s first Parties, the ‘Christian Democrats’, was what would be defined today as a Center, Moderate Party, but it’s heir, the UDC, has governed both with Italy’s Left- wing parties in the past, as well as with Berlusconi’s Moderate, Center-Right, Libertarian Party ‘Forza Italia’. Fratelli d’Italia is heir to Italy’s prevous Right-Wing parties, which is why it could never be defined as conservative. It’s roots are Socialist (and therefore Left), with a Nationalist bent.

As a Conservative myself, I blanch at the claims of such individuals as Giorgia Meloni to the title of right-wing and Conservative; they are not whom they claim to be, sowing confusion amongst foreign political analysts attempting to define them. If only Meloni were far more right-wing, according to the North American standards of conservative/liberal! But Giorgia Meloni, leader of the party ‘Brothers of Italy’, spent her youth and young adulthood as a militant leader of the the controversial Party Movimento Sociale Italiana, founded by Giorgio Almirante, a noted Mussolini apologist. In 1994, MSI became Alleanza Nazionale, led in Meloni’s youth by Gianfranco Fini, which disintegrated after Fini began to alter the party’s traditional approach to politics, culminating in its support for the creation of a technical government led by Mario Monti. This led to the exodus in 2014 of numerous members – Meloni included – in order to found their own party, which they claimed at the time would be more faithful to the philosophy and sentiments of the founder of MSI.

Let’s take a closer look at the heir to Movimento Sociale Italiana: the term ‘social’ should give away the nature of the party, as well as explain the mentality of assistential, nanny- state socialism, painfully obvious is the proposals of Fratelli d’Italia, which speak of more expenditures like free daycare, and therefore higher taxes – instead of defiscalizing work, business, family and properties, as these are the true sources of wealth which every country posesses, fundamental for maintaining a healthy business cycle. Curiously – and in contrast to the movement’s original, rather anti-American posture, Fratelli d’Italia has adopted an uncompromising pro-Atlantist, pro-Ukraine stance, at the very historical moment in which such a stance is inopportune and inexpedient for our country (One of every two Italians is AGAINST any participation in the Ukraine conflict). The party has expressed neutrality on the Roe vs Wade decision, when its duty would be to firmly promote a pro-family, anti-abortion culture. It has not expressed intention to assist families in any way in the face of an unprecedented economic crisis caused by sanctions against Russia, energy costs which are 32 times their average prices, the long-term ramifications of Covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates – either by means of tax-exemptions, school vouchers and direct financial relief – nor has it criticized the unscientific, unconstitutional approaches which the previous coalition and technical governments have adopted over the past two and a half years, or defended the constitutional rights of that persecuted distinct minority of unvaccinated Italians, from its position of Opposition. FdI’s analysis of the Ukraine conflict, and the ensuing economic crisis is troubling, deluded and preposterous, as well.

In other words, there is very little of traditional conservative values about Giorgia Meloni and Fratelli d’Italia (yes, we remember the pre-covid video of Meloni’s speech at the Prolife Meeting in Verona organized by Provita e Famiglia – would that she spoke like that today!): neither fiscal, economic, social, religious, cultural nor in terms of international relations. By North American standards, she and her party might be defined as Libertarian on most cultural issues, with a rather questionable past. Therefore, the huge consensus which Fratelli d’Italia has recieved, is based upon votes of protest, predominantly against PD: against a Leftist political elite which has continued to govern for the past 11 years without democratic consensus, which has destroyed our Health System, our Education System, has infiltrated and taken over the giudiciary, is anti-Italian, pro-EU, esterofile, for the destruction of the nuclear family, is radically pro-abortion, has attempted the economic destruction of our country through covid lockdowns, and persecuted its populus with vaccine mandates, discriminating against those who refused the jab; it is also a protest against Lega, by whom many previous voters feel betrayed for their participation in the previous Draghi technical government, and Salvini’s 2019 decision to call for an election, which led to the unholy union between PD and M5Stelle; but it is most certainly an attempt by unvaccinated, practicing Catholics to avoid the vaccine mandates which PD had insisted upon in its electoral campaign, as well as their hope that their votes would contribute to marginalizing the risk of increased illegal immigration, gay marriage, automatic citizenship to foreign students studying in Italy, laws introducing the limitation of free speech – all of which were part of PD’s party platform.

Although active participation in elections has been dropping rapidly over the past 25 years, the fact that little over 50% of the Italian population cast their votes on the 25th of September 2002, at a moment of such historical importance, is indicative of the sense of disenchantment and lack of trust in our governing entities. Most people do not identify with any of the parties able to run for office. These were votes which were not necessarily FOR Fratelli d’Italia, because from their position of Opposition, they did nothing to protest the suspension of constitutional rights, or the systemic discrimination of the Unvaccinated, but rather AGAINST PD, in particular. Will Giorgia Meloni grow into the position of conservative premier? Only time will tell.

*Disclaimer: I love, respect and admire Giorgia Meloni, and could find it in my heart to forgive her for FdI’s lack of true opposition and support for discriminated Italians, if she would only reembrace the line which FDI had begun to adopt several years ago, prior to the Covid crisis. Deo volente . . .
