a number of comments on government repression of the demonstration of the population of L'Aquila in Rome on 7 July 2010, with a review of local reasons on the expression of dissent.
sensationalism miraculous stereotypes NEORAZZISTI: anatomy FOR THE SYSTEM government propaganda AROUND THE EMERGENCY AQUILANI
global justice and police LAWFULLY INFILTRATION BETWEEN THE COMMON CITIZENS AGAINST GOVERNMENT
Sure, there were the "global justice" in the event of earthquake victims in L'Aquila. There were. Have been the two or three per cent of the protesters, they were together with all other socio-cultural diversity that make up the civilian city. A push against the anti-terrorism units illegally blocking the passage of an authorized demonstration there were also "no global" L'Aquila, are more accustomed to a treatment that no one expected and therefore were "front line", a meter or two little ahead of housewives, pensioners, policemen and even Aquila. Cops exasperated as the rest of their fellow citizens. Against police officers, since this is the most distinctive feature of that day, there could be no manifestation of the cross with which thousands have gone to Rome to L'Aquila July 7, 2010 to ask for fairness and rights, taking a few beatings that smells so much try to extend the regime of codes of civil society based on the language of the baton, usually reserved antagonism subversive.
However batons are not the worst thing: The Eagle gave its disagreement once again, one year; and, once again, the city continues to suffer serious practice of misinformation and stereotypes that increasingly offensive smell of racism. So, once again it should be noted that, immediately after the earthquake, we witnessed a series of processes of mass media control of public opinion on the event trace that is worth listing them in brief anatomy of the components of the system propaganda of the emergency government that determines the narrative of L'Aquila, given that certain facts - are collected in sequence - are another effect.
Expropriation SYMBOLIC EVENT
must be clear that interpretation of power and there is a substantial identity: power is the power to assign meaning to events and L'Aquila handling of the disaster begins from the moment the city is deprived of the possibility of giving meaning to the event, in which symbolic expropriation is a precondition for process control in general.
Expropriation symbolic event took place from the lowering of the magnitude to 5.8 degrees Richter compared to an average of 6.3 degrees Richter declared seismological institutes around the world. Beyond the debate between Richter magnitude and moment, the Italian information was made with the value 5.8, and the idea of \u200b\u200ba low magnitude fosters the idea that the damage because there were houses made of evil, because of L'Aquila: "Who is the cause of his pain cry himself." The attribution of blame at the local level symbolically exempts the state from charges of supporting and concrete responsibilities of the National Department Risks.
Expropriation symbolic event was foreshadowed by assurances disastrous - totally unjustified from a scientific perspective - High Risks reported by the National Commission before the earthquake to the population of Aquila (who led a national to stay in bed, jointly caused a high number of victims, who by chance was not much higher).
Expropriation symbolic event was consolidated through the term "earthquake d'Abruzzo" favored by political vassals of the government Berlusconi, probably aimed at trying to gain control of the areas actually affected by the earthquake region. Suffice it to say that the President of the Abruzzo region Nails has now declared that "the earthquake regards throughout Abruzzo," and the newly elected president of the province of L'Aquila, Del Corvo, wrote in the part of election program which did not copy (as he had to admit), that: "Reconstruction is not only a requirement of the areas of the crater, because the whole province suffers from problems that date back to before the earthquake." Both Berlusconi and politicians are not living in earthquake areas. The doubt is strong and legitimate.
the spectacular Propagandist AID
The sensational find of the "miracle eagle suggests the intervention of aid as a new phenomenon for how and efficiency, while the history of Western civilization is measured by centuries with practical help to bring the places hit by natural disasters; practices historically dictated from the foundational principle of the union of the baptized in the mystical body of Christ. If there is one constant is the help, what are the various historical forms, where the difference is the degree of technological development, much less moral disposition of the powers that be that govern the operations. The "miracle" is a fictional propaganda that begins in the historical uniqueness of the institutional claim.
policy charity fielded with the show for charity has saturated the public image reproducing redundant help, which give an impression decisive turning away from the actual proportion of the economic needs (as true for the reconstruction will take many billions of euro, is not honest propaganda, for example, collected a million € by a host of singers, which also celebrated with the charity, as if they were a vital aid, resolving, as if to say "now the money you have them, do not complain"). You do not need crumbs obsessively amplified by strategies of spectacularly in the early evening, but, as in other earthquakes, we need aid appropriate and not excessive hype. E ' reprehensible in itself make a TV show to a social emergency.
The claim to speak consistently of "reconstruction model", to describe the installation of emergency housing to expensive and unnecessary plates earthquake imposed by Civil Defence (who had designed), the public propinano the idea of \u200b\u200ba situation resolved when the city is still completely destroyed.
The idea that homes imposed by the Government are immeasurably better than the solutions adopted in the past emergency is based on censorship a myriad of other types of prefabricated building made available by current techniques for housing, just as safe, fast and comfortable and cheaper, and is based mainly on a common mode destoricizzazione implemented in the emergency assessment of building used in other ages (and then by lower levels of development of technological availability): in essence is like comparing a sixteenth of one today than forty years ago. For centuries, governments step in building houses on places earthquake emergency. Not discuss the case in a trivial and unacceptable "take it or leave it", but the imposition of a constructive type, its costs and suspicions of speculation aid. The alternative is not only between the houses of the "project homes" and the containers in Irpinia (in fact it should be noted that this way of thinking narrowly binary digit is the logic that governs any dictatorial ideology: the exclusion of the third possibility is the premise for the imposition of absolutist questionable choices).
EXPLOITATION AID FOR PURPOSE 'OF PROFITS
Thus the most striking aspect is given by its enormous cost of building emergency : almost three thousand euro per square meter (Eng. Calvi of Civil Defense, the planner, said on TV 2400 € per square meter, now says 1300, can be deduced from many sources over 2800 € per square meter). This raises the point of profit obtained through a tragedy of thousands of people, with housing tax forms costossissime bragging as the only solution, among many choices much cheaper but concealed. Buildings built using money from charities and the European Community, and the cheap labor without rights permitted by the emergency. A windfall for the lucky entrepreneurs who have had access to contracts. A house like this (on loan to use, not donated, as is often thought Italians) may look beautiful, but if it looks good value for the price of these condos in drywall, landscaping the havoc produced in at least half of the nineteen sites , and alternatives that could have been charged, is disgusting. This supposed "miracle" could cost three times less and give shelter to all. Instead it is chosen to maximize profit, not social welfare, and that's what's behind the miracle. It should be clear that a housing emergency following a natural disaster is not a miracle, but an embodiment of a practice as old as our civilization history (and which, ultimately, it is civilization itself that is measured in opposition to the barbarism and tyranny).
Then, in general you should mention the enormous costs of the machinery of the Civil Protection costs, divided into a number of levels and forms, of which - starting with the smallest details such as anoraks included the troops - has been demonstrated by many of the enormous capital gains under the pretext emergency. It should be reiterated that - one year after the earthquake - the money spent on L'Aquila come almost exclusively from the funds made available by the European Community, and the charity of individuals and public bodies. The Government has spent so far - if not in small part - of state money, and this is the real difference compared to other earthquakes. Leave too many clues already think that the government has so far taken advantage of beneficence of Italian and European funds to drain profit through mediation chains are managed by people affiliated with the powers that be, which assists to help ambivalent coexistence and parasitism, Solidarity and looting, support and profit. The point is that a government that declares itself "democratic" should not afford to offend a city through practices aimed at intrastate postcolonialism speculation and propaganda, which engage the processes of blending on humanitarian aid, and should not impose such practices with an action systematic use of propaganda, censorship, the stereotype.
inequity 'COMPARED TO OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS ITALIAN
Apparently not talked about this earthquake just to give a tax purpose or other forms of taxation stable from state coffers, as did other similar disasters. L'Aquila - in step with the times - a city precarious, caged in a reconstruction co.co.co. finalized before the profit of outside parties that the good of the place. L'Aquila so far the government has decided that there are state lotteries, scratchcards, and singers in the scent of charity (and in search of glory).
When tax relief to earthquake victims are a centuries-old practice of help, just think that three hundred years ago following a disastrous earthquake, the Viceroy to Aquila recognized exemption from taxes for 12 years, with no refund. Now everyone remembers that in L'Aquila for the Umbria-Marche earthquake was given a suspension for 10 years with a repayment rate of 40% in 120, while the application for tax refund for Aquila was set at 100% after One year after the earthquake, to be repaid in 5 years. Only after we were seated Roman protest now sop to go from 5 to 10 years. That sounds like a sop offense. E 'in this sense that L'Aquila wonder equity and rights, things far away from paroxysms desperation.
Someone said that there was no other earthquakes during the economic crisis of today, so the comparison would not be lawful. Apart from that you could argue that the crisis should pay more affluent classes and those who suffer from natural disasters, in this case is a particularly thorny and unacceptable: the recent flood of Alexandria suspension of taxes will lead to the return of 10% in 10 years. Other than North and South virtuoso creep.
Stereotypes NEORAZZISTA offends ON A CITY 'WOUNDED
Too often political regime and pro-government media outlets insist on stereotypes related to the pattern of "rogue South" versus the "North virtuous, attributing all the blame on the inefficiency of the current problems of local administration, in a device scagionante accuses the Government and its affiliated companies (to be clear: there are problems that concern the administration local, but the recognition is more than absolutizing). Eagle finds himself in this vulgar and utterly Manichean division of morality. Once again, jumping out of comparison with the stereotype of the Friuli. For some time he feels that the Aquila immediately after the earthquake were "like Friuli, who roll up their sleeves and get busy," and then they would become "as gl'irpini, who are with our hands and expect aid ". It's just mental laziness inherent in this redundant use a theme that sets the first index of stereotypy.
Once again the citizens of L'Aquila must put up with this statement completely insulting. On 9 July, the newspaper "Il Giornale" traces for the umpteenth time this stereotype through the narrow-minded generalization neorazzista that "those affected react differently." This is too much. It's for a year as news, Tg1 make systematic disinformation and newspapers such as the newspaper regularly lead in spreading stereotypes neorazzisti defamation. It can tolerate all this? Up to that point? Or is it time to ask parliamentary questions about the legitimacy of this disinformation now resulted in derision? You can systematically offend seriously injured in a city blindly defend the actions of a government? This is the level of civilization of the nation?
Basta. It must be clear that, out of view, in Friuli - for damage to the urban fabric much less severe than that which has yet to begin to come to terms L'Aquila - was in fact spent the equivalent of about twenty billion euro; money available to you through how to access clear, through five-year funding from the State to quake-hit areas, without damaging spectacle of charity. L'Aquila were slightly less than half the promised money had actually from Friuli. So much for the availability of funds.
But with regard to governance, there is this difference: while in L'Aquila is the victim immediately after the earthquake a centralism that is no exaggeration to establish dictatorial rule, based on the imposition of external structures commissarial (even now that the 'emergency is over and should start rebuilding the "Commissioner" comes from outside the affected areas and is a "yes men" of Berlusconi), in Friuli was granted a real autonomy in the process of reconstruction. On recall that in June of 2009, shortly after the earthquake, came to L'Aquila for a conference a mayor who was the protagonist of the reconstruction of Friuli, and we solemnly remembered they used the principle: "This is our land, and the first we have to be in control" (Franceschino Barazzutti, Mayor of Cavazzo Carnico 1977 to 1995).
So, please, that the government treats as Friuli L'Aquila: give us money to rebuild (such as constitutional law astraibile at least seven articles, and historical value as a practice sanctioned by centuries of civilization) and Take away the external commissioners. Decisions to be taken by the L'Aquila who lives there, sure we would benefit from expert advice from around the world, but we have to choose what is best for us. So anybody saying more than in Friuli "were rolled up their sleeves, "Aquila us to measure: if we want to put on provocative comparisons of this kind of injunctive I think it's more fair to say that" in Friuli were filled with money they could spend as they wished. " L'Aquila many fear it would take twice the money of the Friuli, and it has been promised to talk less than half. We all know that times are difficult, but for that we can not remain indifferent to the excessive suspicion that the money will be spent badly and that the emergency was an excuse for profit.
FOREVER MORE 'THE KING' NAKED
governments last few years , the institutional powers can be recycled at most for a decade, while cities throughout history. Who thinks that The Eagle is a pile of crumbling houses do not understand that cities are not made only by walls and roofs: the cities are made out of ideas. Who now takes policy measures to L'Aquila is measured by tomorrow history for what he has done, and may end up with a curse on him. Is there a shred of humanity in Tremonti, the unreachable and avaricious guardian of the state coffers? How are Bertolaso \u200b\u200band after Berlusconi boasted miracles on the misfortunes of thousands of people? More and more seem to be of the outcast, the State of the fugitives, who can no longer be among real people, but they must defend themselves with distance, the fiction of simulated media bridges.
How long did the wave of populist consensus extorted from emergency Aquila through sensationalist fiction of the miracle? They wonder how these people will be remembered by posterity? and heritage morale leave to their offspring? The last fiction until the mass is convenient to them believe, but it suits those who continue to believe our current rulers of these miracle workers? The people who drove under the summer heat of a sunny afternoon was more real than the Roman kings, Italy L'Aquila looking more and more you see in the mirror. Shame on the citizens of beatings earthquake has been around the world, and the diagnosis of despair - which, with dubious benevolence, has given us also a few parliamentary opposition - may not be the pretext for sweetening, but continue to hide paternalistically, certain reasons.

L'Aquila, July 10, 2010
A 'last time, unfortunately, we are compelled to comment on the ennsimo illegal and violent act of the state of Israel. Last week, for well twice by the Israeli army special forces attacked the convoys that were part of "Freedom Flottille, a convoy consisting of pacifist groups that had the sole aim of bringing humanitarian aid besieged Palestinian people, who for decades lived ghettoized by the barriers of 'hatred created by the Zionist state of Israel'. Not content with having prevented ships from reaching Gaza, in the first attack, the Israeli army has even shot and killed a dozen unarmed peace activists. It 'also the serious news today: the Israeli government would be opening the practice to give a medal of merit to the soldiers who took part in the bloody and one-sided attack. We also lash out with contempt towards NATO, which has proved a 'useless and serve other time of world power, which is under the direct will of Israel do not exercise the role of guarantor of world peace favoring the rebuff of the Zionist state to open an' international survey on 'attack on the ships "Freedom Flottille. It 's amazing that, apart from healthy exceptions, none strongly condemns the incident (Italy in particular). Forza Nuova has always been firmly married to the Palestinian cause and, after the recent adverse events, the National Secretary Roberto Fiore met in Rome 's Ambassador Delegate General of Palestine Sabri Ateyeh, reminding him of the closeness of the whole Party and condemning the policy of Death implemented by the Israelis. The Human Rights Council 's UN has meanwhile adopted a resolution approved by 32 members to 47, which seeks to' start an 'international investigation. Italy voted against it, as well as the United States, thus making himself ridiculous in the eyes of all. We ask after they have done about a year ago when we entered the city council, the naming of a street dedicated to the Palestinian martyrs, victims of state terrorism and hatred of Israelis and guilty only of asking a legitimate homeland for their people, and the evening is done at the initiative of art to raise awareness among local institutions and citizens on the Palestinian issue. The young student of Struggle (youth movement of Force New) surrounded the town of Massa with hundreds of balloons that show the colors of the Palestinian flag and attacked a banner, a 'symbolic action and peaceful time, we underline it again, to ask the naming of a street to the Palestinian martyrs.
