c'è questa ^lettera della moglie di Sircana#http://www.repubblica.it/2007/03/sezioni/cronaca/corona3/lettera-moglie/lettera-moglie.html^ (quello che ha fatto "l'errore di accostare un attimo l'auto su un viale" come ha spiegato) che è bella sembra una famiglia di martiri del risorgimento che ha compiuto qualche gesto eroico ---------------------- ...Una favola di Esòpo all'incontrario, dove la morale è capovolta e dove vince sempre il cattivo a discapito del buono o dell'inerme. Ecco cosa è stato mio marito e cosa siamo stati tutti noi in questi lunghi giorni: degli inermi in una favola rovesciata, dove la parte lesa si trasforma in colpevole senza appello, senza possibilità di fuga se non quella della resa. Delle belle, grasse vittime da sacrificare in nome dello scoop, della battaglia politica, della falsa morale. Uso un termine che non è mai stato usato, neanche una volta, in questi giorni: fiducia. Io ho una vera, grande, leale, fiducia in Silvio che spero sia ricambiata con altrettanta forza. Ho fiducia in quello che siamo, in quello che abbiamo costruito, nell'onestà specchiata e intellettuale con cui ha affrontato il compito che gli è stato chiesto di svolgere dal Presidente del Consiglio, dal Parlamento, dagli elettori. Il suo calvinismo è conosciuto almeno quanto la sua magrezza e nel nostro (non) interessante dibattito familiare lui è sempre il più moralista, il più serio, il meno eversivo tra noi due. Facciamo poca o nulla vita mondana, sappiamo molto uno dell'altro, senza aspettarci di sapere tutto o di appartenerci completamente. Proprio perché abbiamo rispetto e fiducia reciproci. Non ci mangiamo, siamo, e percorriamo insieme, vicini, un pezzo lungo o corto che sia, della vita individuale di due persone. Di questa vita, di questo percorso, di questa fiducia, in questi giorni è stata fatta carta straccia. In nome di un'ipotetica verità, in nome di un'ipotetica giustizia, in nome di un'ipotetica responsabilità, in nome di un ipotetico Paese. Che non è il mio e nemmeno quello di tanti altri. Ma, come dicevo prima, anche dalle situazioni peggiori si può sempre imparare qualcosa e io in queste settimane ho imparato che c'è ancora tanto lavoro da fare. ...

E' ovvio quando leggi queste cose che è in arrivo una seria crisi economica. L'Inghilterra è diventata con Blair e Brown il paese guida nella demenza buonista e progressista, probabilmente perchè pensano di avere risolto tutti i problemi economici grazie alla bolla immobiliare e la City di Londra che attira i ricchi del medioriente, asia e russia Fanno pagare delle semplici multe per chi commette crimini minori tipo aggressione, hanno messo centinaia di migliaia di telecamere che filmano ogni strada mentre intanto i tassi di delinquenza inglesi sono diventati i maggiori d'europa, informano gli iman locali prima di fare perquisizioni di sospetti terroristi musulmani, costruiscono le moschee più grandi del mondo (non d'europa), finanziano le organizzazioni islamiche nei campus e poi scoprono che propagandano il terrorismo, hanno messo a pagamento le strade del centro di londra e hanno un progetto di tassare tutte le auto in base a quanti Km percorrono, usando un sistema di controllo satellitare... sul riscaldamento globale hanno messo per legge limiti più stringenti di Kyoto e oggi dicono che puniranno con penalità finanziarie varie chi possiede una casa e non la adegua a tutti i criteri per minimizzare carbonio ed altro

Uno dei tanti libri non tradotti in italiano che sarebbe da leggere è ^"While Europe Slept" di BRUCE BAWER#http://www.brucebawer.com/blog.htm^ di uno scrittore americano gay che vive in Norvegia e descrive la situazione sempre più cupa della Scandinavia ora che la popolazione musulmana sta raggiungendo il 10% e con i socialdemocratici al potere da 70 anni in pratica che censurano ogni dissenso (chiudono i siti web e fanno licenziare chi ha opinioni critiche sull'immigrazione) BRUCE BAWER December 8, 2006 The approach of the New Year and departure of the old inevitably brings a flurry of "year's best" lists. This even applies to nations, which some organizations make it their business annually to rank in order of wealth, quality of life, and what-have-you. Surprisingly often, the Nordic countries come out on top. This placement is usually a reflection less of objective reality, however, than of the list-makers' enthusiasm for the Nordic welfare-state model. The criteria, in other words, are formulated in such a way that the Nordic countries will inevitably end up on top. Hence Norway, for example, is repeatedly named by the United Nations as the world's richest country — forget that prices and taxes are so high that even business executives lunch on dry sandwiches brought from home in aluminum foil. Now it's Sweden's turn. The Economist Intelligence Unit, associated with the Economist magazine, has awarded the title of world's most democratic country to Sweden. For many observers, this is not only wrong — it's staggeringly, outrageously misinformed. Sweden is, after all, a country in which the people are fed by their political, press, and intellectual establishment an unvarying diet of propaganda promoting the socialist welfare state, demonizing Israel, and whitewashing Islam. As for America, the official view was neatly captured in a post-September 11 editorial in the nation's largest newspaper, Aftonbladet, which assured readers that the terrorists who attacked New York and Washington weren't Sweden's enemies but simply hated " U.S. imperialism," a reasonable position given that "the U.S. is the greatest mass murderer of our time." Such views, taught in Sweden's classrooms and enshrined in Sweden's state-approved schoolbooks, are reiterated daily by Sweden's mainstream press organizations, all of which are either government-owned or government-subsidized. Dissent is powerfully discouraged. In Sweden, whose murder rate is currently twice that of America and where Muslims now constitute over 10% of the population and are disproportionately unemployed and prone to violence, the Swedish press routinely depicts America as crime-ridden. Polls show that the majority of Swedes are deeply disturbed by their country's dramatic social changes and highly critical of the policies that brought them about. Yet the crime and violence generally go unreported, so only rarely does any of the criticism seep into the press. Though two-thirds of Swedes question whether Islam is compatible with Western society, this issue is simply not open for public discussion. To quote Jonathan Friedman, a New Yorker who teaches social anthropology at the University of Lund, "no debate about immigration policies is possible" because Sweden's "political class," which controls public debate, simply avoids the topic. Recently, the city of Stockholm carried out a survey of ninth-grade boys in the predominantly Muslim suburb of Rinkeby. The survey showed that in the last year, 17% of the boys had forced someone to have sex, 31% had hurt someone so badly that the victim required medical care, and 24% had committed burglary or broken into a car. Sensational statistics — but in all of Sweden, they appear to have been published only in a daily newssheet that is distributed free on the subways. Instead of reporting on such worrisome findings, politicians and the press alike focus on the evils of America and Israel. Last year, for instance, Sweden's state-owned TV network ran a series of "documentaries" about America that included Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine." Viewers were protected from the fact that it had been shown to contain lies and fabrications. The series also included a sympathetic account of Stalin's atomic spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, whom Swedish TV described as having been executed not for history's most colossal act of treason but "for their Communist sympathies," and something called "Why We Fight," which explained America's military actions as motivated by the avarice of military contractors. Swedish book publishing is similarly unbalanced. Recently Michael Moynihan, an American writer based in Stockholm, toted up the English-language political books that had been translated into Swedish since September 11. His long list included several works apiece by Noam Chomsky and Michael Moore, plus volumes by the communist historian Eric Hobsbawm, the anti-American journalist John Pilger, and the "Holocaust industry" critic Norman Finkelstein. On the entire list, only one author was not a leftist. When voices of dissent do break through in Sweden, they're often punished. During the runup to the Iraq war, the Swedish government censured the independent TV channel TV4 for running an "Oprah" episode that presented both pro- and anti-war arguments. TV4 was charged with violating press-balance guidelines when in fact its offense was being too balanced — it had exposed Swedish viewers to ideas from which journalists had otherwise shielded them. Only one sizable party in the country, the Sweden Democrats, articulates most Swedes' concerns about their country's immigration and integration policies. Again and again, it has been the object of breathtakingly undemocratic treatment by the political establishment. Earlier this year, for example, the government closed down the Sweden Democrats' Web site because it had published a cartoon of Muhammad. Stig Fredriksson, head of the free-speech organization Publicistklubben, complained bitterly. But the incident was hardly reported in Sweden — and, of course, barely caused a ripple abroad. If the Bush administration had closed down a Democratic Party Web site¸ there would be scare headlines and editorials thundering about dictatorship — and rightly so. But when Sweden's rulers did it, it was apparently acceptable — because they did it in the name of political correctness. Sweden Democrats have been the targets of events that recall China's Cultural Revolution. Staged "people's protests" by members of the "youth divisions" of other parties have led to the firing of Sweden Democrats from their jobs. A few weeks ago, a junior diplomat was dismissed when it became known that he was a member of the party and had criticized his country's immigration policy. On several occasions, thugs loyal to the ruling parties have broken up Sweden Democratic meetings and beaten up party leaders. And this is a nation in which a party led by an admitted communist was, in recent memory, part of the ruling coalition. The Sweden Democrats enjoy considerable public sympathy. But given Sweden's oppressively conformist political climate, that sympathy is of necessity largely sub rosa. Mr. Friedman has suggested that one reason why the party has no seats in Parliament is that Swedish elections aren't really secret — other people at the polling place can look at your ballot and see which party you support. The stigma attached to voting for the Sweden Democrats is just that strong. Another reason is that the major parties have worked together vigorously to keep the Sweden Democrats out of the public square. The success of this collaborative effort is reflected in the fact that Sweden is the only major Western European country whose legislature contains not a single representative of a party critical of its immigration policies. In 1972, the British historian Roland Huntford titled his book about Sweden "The New Totalitarians." He is echoed by a number of observers today who describe Sweden as an example of "soft totalitarianism." Are they right? That's a matter for debate — though it's a debate that won't take place in Sweden. Mr. Bawer is the author of "While Europe Slept" and lives in Oslo, Norway.
