People must understand that there are serious consequences for this kind of thing. Our present is very similar to the 11th century – We do not want to fight, but, like our Christian brothers a thousand years ago, we must do it. The most evocative is that of the "crusade," in which Hegseth sees a historical and spiritual model: "Our present is very similar to the 11th century – he writes in his book American Crusade, from 2020 – We do not want to fight, but, like our Christian brothers a thousand years ago, we must do it." #PenaDiMorte #Trump #Fede (translated)

Marco Setaccioli recalled that, twenty years earlier, Anna Politkovskaya had been shot and killed in the hallway of her home in Moscow. He claimed that Vladimir Putin had ordered her elimination on the day of his birthday and described her as a journalist, activist, and opponent who had denounced the crimes of the regime and the restrictions on freedoms. Setaccioli also cited a passage from *Putin's Russia* in which Politkovskaya attributed the responsibility for what was happening to the apathy and weak reactions of those who opposed Putin, arguing that they contributed to ensuring his impunity. He urged readers to compare the words of the journalist with those of politicians who, in his view, were ready to trade security for votes and claimed that Putin's Russia was not a danger. He urged them to ask themselves whether, with their "cowardice," they honored the memory of Politkovskaya or legitimized the world of violence, oppression, and death that, according to him, her murderer was building. #Putin #Apathy #Freedom (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)

Luigi Marattin argued that, in the last three years, Western societies had been exposed to a vast campaign of disinformation and psychological conditioning regarding the conflict in Gaza. In his view, this had overshadowed the massacre of October 7, presented by some as an episode of resistance, and spread false claims about genocide, civilian casualties, and attacks on Palestinians seeking food. Marattin said that the reasons for what he termed a campaign of lies would be clarified by historians and hypothesized that factors such as identification with the weaker side, funding of Islamic extremism, and anti-Jewish prejudice had contributed to it. He stated that in the "information war," responses were beginning to appear in the form of documentaries: he mentioned *Naza: the Real Story*, which, according to him, offered more evidence and did not rely on anonymous testimonies, and *We will dance again*, shown the previous night by Nicola Porro and containing images from October 7. Marattin wrote that those images had marked those who had seen them and urged for countering falsehoods without fear of going against dominant thinking. He also accused some protesters with Hamas flags and others of having embraced propaganda and ideology. Finally, he said he would be in Milan the following day to commemorate October 7, which he defined as a dark day for Western civilization, and thanked the Milanese Jewish community for the invitation. #Disinformazione #Guerra #Milano (translated)

Combattere i falsi invalidi per aumentare il sussidio ai veri invalidi. Combattere gli evasori fiscali per abbassare le tasse ai contribuenti onesti. Pagare meno chi nella pubblica amministrazione lavora male per pagare di più chi lavora bene. Ridurre gli sprechi negli appalti pubblici per abbassare ancora le tasse a famiglie e imprese. Ridurre la complessità delle regole (togliendo lavoro a chi vive della complessità delle cose) per agevolare famiglie e imprese. Ridurre le cose che lo Stato fa, per fare meglio quelle che non può che fare lui. È una ricetta che si mette contro (e violentemente) quella parte di Italia che vive sulle truffe, sull’assistenzialismo, sull’evasione fiscale, sulle forniture pubbliche gonfiate, sull’inefficienza e sull’egualitarismo del settore pubblico. Ma è la ricetta del @Partito_Libdem , che a voi piaccia o no. Perché c’è invece un pezzo di Paese che si è stancato di pagare per mantenere quel pezzo di prima. #Riforme #GiustiziaFiscale #EfficienzaPubblica
