Sitting On Female Chest?

We are slaves ... ALL ABOUT LOVE

Dear reader,

"we are slaves, empty prohibiting freedom of thought ..." Anna Nalick sings last cd. No, I will not even talk to Anna Oxa, quiet, but his words spin around in my head as a summary of helplessness and frustration that crosses me in those days.

almost powerless to assist manipulation of information, quotidianamanete repeated now, that leaves you amazed, dumbfounded and outraged. The news of Rai, especially now tg1 of indecent Minzolini , fill us with unnecessary details and morbid murder of Sara, influencing public opinion and convictions before issuing regular justice, but leave out the news "real" disturbing, they are really in the public interest.

I've always spoken out against the news and information based on gossip, but never as now I realize how it is one of the key elements of a strategy of thinking that is making Italy "Worse than Zimbabwe" , as someone recently noted (with all due respect to Zimbabwe). The citizen does not care (or should not matter, except in cases of psychiatric illness) the progress of a particular investigation of crime (now there's Sarah, but in the past we had Cogne, Meredith, little Tommy and ... many others), for which there are competent people (we hope) and salary, but the news on the economic (in terms understandable), politics, the problems "real" and "universal" (ie all) as wars, injustice, violations of human rights ... But these are denied us, or are marginalized, reduced only when presented can "strike" or "make news", most often hidden because they do not "pull the audience" ...

Yes, because this is the problem of television and newspapers that go with all advertising contracts and therefore have to "audience", otherwise they will not sell advertising space and the whole system ends up not having enough money to pay Self-renewal and exorbitant fees to the personalities involved. We have lost the ability to have a true "information" when advertising has taken over as a method of financing. What guarantee is there (except in rare cases) of real information if the primary purpose is not to lose the advertising contracts? If it is better wallow in morbid curiosity of a barbaric and bigoted nation like Italy, made so by the Catholic religious dictatorship, to programs of "entertainment" or even "debate" rather than trying to make everyone very aware of things that happen and their meaning is often not immediate, what to expect really?

In these days of indecent overexposure of the murder of Sara (on which there are already those who must investigate and issue rulings in the future, so my opinion and everyone else does not count) I have not heard the news of tg Minzolini and various others on serious matters such as the recount of votes in the Piedmont will probably overturn the election results of the last few administrative investigation of the new Roman magistrates (not Milan) sull'ennesima tax fraud of Mr. B.; attempts almost complete rewrite of the law on arms trafficking from Italy to other countries, to facilitate their progress (and Home Affairs related) facts "true" concerning the Palestinian question and the human rights violations perpetrated by the state of Israel without international sanctions to stop it ... and much more that should be added ...

Not to mention the attempts to censor "ex ante" (as is fashionable now to say) to people (sometimes not entirely acceptable but still free to express themselves) as Santoro, Saviano, Benigni, Dandini and Gabanelli never be able to to make us "think" better "jobs salon afternoon" conducted by Venier or Giletti ...

And even within the "total censorship", even by newspapers as more intelligent the Republic or the daily on ecclesiastical matters, where it continues to bring the Church hierarchy with the disgusting and hypocritical business people who have, rather than with the many voices of the Church "base" (which is the only plausible concept of the Church) say and do much more ...

"We are slaves," but perhaps we also want to be because they do not raise our voices and cry out to the "scandal" in the evangelical sense of the word ... consolation, or better yet the serenity, but back in my heart when we realize that life is elsewhere, that this decrepit and crumbling Western civilization (and its self-centered rationalist philosophy) is over and that humanity will start again elsewhere, in the typical times history, and long essays ... so those who "were slaves" in the long run we will release that "we are slaves" now!
