Marco M.M. wrote that his profile, dedicated to meteorology, would continue to deal with the weather, but that he wanted to share a personal reflection after facing a significant health issue in the previous weeks. He recounted having lived through difficult days and new fears, an experience that, according to him, made him reevaluate everyday things and the importance of paying attention to the difficulties of others. He added that his private messages were open to anyone who needed to talk and that, while he did not have solutions for every problem, he was available to listen. He concluded by inviting people to take care of themselves and those close to them, specifying that in the next post he would return to discussing meteorology. #Vita #Ascolto #Gratitudine (translated)

Alessandro Orsini stated that Europe depended on Russia for energy supplies and described as humiliating the announcement, attributed to Donald Trump, of an agreement with Vladimir Putin for the supply of over 300,000 tons of diesel, which would lower prices. Citing the Corriere della Sera, he reported that Europe was facing winter with the lowest gas reserves in the last fifteen years and was purchasing more gas by ship from Russia than ever before. According to the data he provided, European storage was 72% full, compared to 83% a year earlier, while in Germany and the Netherlands it was below 60%. Orsini claimed that the agreement would give Putin more resources to strike Ukraine. Orsini recalled predicting that an attempt by NATO to defeat Russia on the battlefield would provoke a more intense Russian response against Ukraine and a severe economic crisis for Europe and Italy. He said that the prediction, made on February 24, 2022, had not been believed and that subsequent events had confirmed it. He also announced his participation that evening in the program *Accordi e Disaccordi* and the presentation, on October 17, at the Feltrinelli in Largo Argentina in Rome with Luca Sommi, of his book *Nato, l’espansione verso la Russia*. He described the volume as a historical reconstruction of NATO's enlargement towards Russia, from the promises to Gorbachev during the negotiations for German reunification to the war in Ukraine. The thesis of the book, he explained, connected the documentary origins of tensions between NATO and Russia to the contradiction between Article 5 and the minutes attached to the Treaty on the Final Settlement of Germany of September 12, 1990. https://t.co/2KWZ8kSEG9 #Russia #Europa #Gas (translated)

Simone Pillon recalled the Battle of Lepanto, fought on October 7, 1571, describing it as a clash between Christians and Muslims. He wrote that the Holy League, composed of Austrians, Spaniards, Venetians, Lombards, Romagnols, Tuscans, Savoyards, Genoese, Sicilians, and Neapolitans, deployed under the command of Don John of Austria 6 galleasses and about 204 galleys. According to Pillon, the Turkish fleet of Ali Pasha consisted of 170-180 galleys, 20 or 30 galliots, and an unspecified number of xebecs and privateer brigs. Pillon reported that Pope Pius V had a premonition and prayed the rosary during the battle, while the Christian fighters received the Eucharist before setting sail. He wrote that, despite the Turkish numerical superiority and the initially favorable wind for the Ottomans, the direction of the wind changed, and the Holy League won. In his account, Pillon indicated that the Turks lost 80 galleys sunk and 117 captured, along with 27 galliots sunk and 13 captured; he added that 30,000 Turks were killed or injured, and 8,000 were taken prisoner. He also claimed that 15,000 Christians enslaved at the oars were freed. He said that Pius V dedicated the victory to Our Lady of the Rosary and that October 7 became the feast of the Rosary. Pillon finally wrote that, in his view, the Christian West was facing new battles, some already open, and hoped that they would be bloodless and victorious. He wondered if there were still strong men capable of protecting the lands and families. #Lepanto #Storia #Battaglie (translated)

Io Conte, NON lo voto. Perché mai dovrei farlo, per passare da una despota ad un opportunista? Articolo in collaborazione con AI DALLA RUSSIA A BIBBIANO, PASSANDO PER IL MIRACOLO DELLA TAP: LE FAKE NEWS E LA PROPAGANDA CHE HANNO COLPITO IL PD. COSA C'È DI VERO O PRESUNTO? Analizzando la recente storia politica italiana, l'ascesa del Movimento 5 Stelle e il violento scontro ideologico con il Partito Democratico si sono consumati su terreni strategici: dalle relazioni con la Russia di Putin al caso Bibbiano, fino alla durissima battaglia contro il gasdotto TAP. In tutti questi casi, il tempo e la giustizia hanno ridefinito i confini tra fatti reali e clamorose fake news. IL CAPITOLO RUSSIA, L'ENIGMA CONTE E LA FORTUNA DELLA TAP: Le ipotesi di un aiuto da parte della Russia di Putin all'ascesa del M5S si muovono sul confine tra relazioni politiche accertate e sospetti mai provati in tribunale. I contatti dei fedelissimi sono documentati: nel 2016 Manlio Di Stefano volò a Mosca al congresso di Russia Unita definendo l'Ucraina "uno stato fantoccio dell'Occidente", e Alessandro Di Battista sostenne a lungo la necessità di assecondare la visione geopolitica del Cremlino. Il punto di massimo interesse per Putin fu l'aspra resistenza del M5S contro il gasdotto TAP in Puglia: bloccare l'opera avrebbe favorito il monopolio energetico russo. Fortunatamente, una volta al governo nel 2018, il Movimento dovette fare retromarcia per evitare penali miliardarie, permettendo il completamento dell'infrastruttura. Oggi, nel pieno della crisi energetica e geopolitica mondiale, la TAP si è rivelata una salvezza assoluta per l'Italia: trasportando miliardi di metri cubi di gas dall'Azerbaigian, è diventata una delle principali rotte che ha permesso al nostro Paese di emanciparsi dal ricatto del gas russo e dal putinismo, calmierando i prezzi e salvandoci dal blackout energetico. Aver fatto l'opera "nonostante" i 5 Stelle è stata la nostra fortuna strategica. Per molti osservatori, l'attuale riluttanza di Giuseppe Conte a inviare aiuti militari a Kiev – che mette a rischio il "campo largo" con il PD – è vista come una "pistola fumante" di questa continuità geopolitica, anche se Conte rigetta le accuse parlando di puro pacifismo per costringere le parti a un tavolo di negoziato. Sul piano VERO c'è stata una forte convergenza comunicativa (con i blog vicini a Casaleggio che rilanciavano i network statali russi), ma sul piano PRESUNTO la magistratura italiana e il Copasir non hanno mai trovato alcuna prova di finanziamenti occulti o illeciti in denaro da Mosca per far vincere il M5S. IL CASO BIBBIANO E IL CROLLO DEL TEOREMA GIUDIZIARIO: Se il caso Russia si è basato su influenze geopolitiche, il caso Bibbiano (l'inchiesta del 2019 sui presunti affidi illeciti in Val d'Enza) è stato l'epicentro di una massiccia campagna di disinformazione utilizzata dal M5S (con Luigi Di Maio che coniò lo slogan "il partito di Bibbiano") e dal centrodestra per abbattere politicamente il PD. La fake news principale fu quella di associare l'intero Partito Democratico a presunti "lavaggi del cervello" e "elettroshock" sui bambini: in realtà, la terapia utilizzata era la legittima psicoterapia EMDR e l'unico legame strutturale con il PD era il sindaco locale, Andrea Carletti, indagato solo per questioni amministrative (abuso d'ufficio e falso) e poi completamente prosciolto. Il ridimensionamento giudiziario è stato totale: le sentenze hanno visto 11 assoluzioni su 14 imputati, smantellando quasi integralmente l'impianto accusatorio. Figure centrali come lo psicoterapeuta Claudio Foti sono state assolte in appello, e i giudici hanno stabilito chiaramente che non vi fu alcun sistema criminale, denunciando come il "clamore mediatico e politico abbia travolto i bambini e i loro familiari". IN SINTESI: La storia recente dimostra che il PD ha dovuto subire due violente ondate di propaganda. Da una parte, i sospetti di un asse Mosca-M5S alimentati da una reale sponda geopolitica originaria (dalle storiche barricate contro la TAP – opera che oggi ci salva dalla crisi energetica – fino alle attuali posizioni di Conte sull'Ucraina) ma privi di riscontri su fondi neri russi. Dall'altra, la drammatica strumentalizzazione di un'inchiesta locale a Bibbiano, trasformata in una fabbrica di fake news elettorali per accusare ingiustamente un partito di crimini contro i bambini, un teorema politico che la stessa giustizia italiana ha infine radicalmente demolito nei tribunali.

“Approvare questa legge elettorale significa garantire stabilità e governabilità a chiunque vincerà le prossime elezioni. È un atto di responsabilità nei confronti dei cittadini, che l’opposizione dovrebbe capire e condividere. E con la reintroduzione delle preferenze, battaglia di Noi Moderati da sempre, viene garantita anche la rappresentatività: finalmente ai cittadini verrà restituito il potere di scegliere realmente i propri parlamentari”.Lo afferma il leader di Noi Moderati, Maurizio Lupi. #LeggeElettorale #CameraDeiDeputati #GovernoMeloni

I deeply appreciated the courage and humanity with which @ale_dibattista chose to publicly share his brain cancer diagnosis. Talking about such a difficult illness on television, without filters and without hiding, means putting aside one’s public image and showing oneself as one is: a person facing an important trial in their life. I also appreciated the choice to set aside, at least for this moment, his political ambitions to focus on treatment and his health. It is a choice I consider deeply human and dignified. Medicine also needs people like this: people who have the courage to show their faces, to talk about illness without taboos and to face treatment with dignity and without fear. Telling one’s story can help those living the same experience feel less alone. I have not always agreed with some of his political positions. But today that takes a back seat. Today I stand by his side and want to be one of his first supporters in this battle against the disease. I wish Alessandro all my heart strength, courage, and serenity in the journey ahead of him. Modern medicine also needs people like him, able to transform a personal affair into a message of humanity and courage. Thank you, Alessandro. #Tumore #Coraggio #Umanità (translated)
