@@@@ WITHOUT SWEAR WORDS @@@@@BEPPE GRILLO'S BLOG

12 March 2008

On 25 April take the red pill

ragazzi_al_V-day.jpg



Information is the last resort for our employees. They know that very well. They no longer have any shame, they say that openly.
The psycho-dwarf: “An election campaign is needed and it needs to be won. The publisher Ciarrapico has some important newspapers, I believe it is absolutely important that these newspapers are not hostile. Given that nearly all the big newspapers are on the other side, when there is one that is in our favour I believe that it is absolutely logical to try to continue to have it in favour.”
And everyone talking about Ciarrapico the fascist and not about the control of information. A guy who owns three national TV channels thanks to Parliament and the Mondadori Group, that counts for 50 PUBLICATIONS, thanks to the corruption of judges, is delirious and no one calls an ambulance. In another democratic country they wouldn’t even let him be seen on Tele Pesco Fiorito in the late evening.
Napolitano sleeps like a just communist, he awakes only if the talk gets noisy. It’s as though a thief could steal the silverware as long as he does it silently and without swear words.
Without the control of the TV channels and the press no one would go to the elections on 13 April. Not even those who count the votes. Politicians are behaving like bandits. They control the country with total disdain for the citizens. Italy is cosa loro {their thing}. Whoever is elected is cosa loro. With a stroke of the pen Cuffaro, Crisafulli, Carra and Dell’Utri are put into lists safe as steel. Better to have a safe seat than a probable prison. If they were to end up in prison and if they were to talk, how many would they drag in with them? Politicians lie, as do their newspaper directors, their allied servants who just want to “survive”. A place in the Lower or Upper House is worth more than dignity, if they ever had any. Collusion between information and politics needs eliminating or democracy will die completely.
On 25 April there’s V2 Day for the collection of signatures for three referenda for “Free information in a free State” in all locations in Italy. Abolition of the Gasparri law for the elimination of the duopoly Mediaset/political parties, abolition of financing of publishing and of the fascist list of journalists. I will be in Turin in piazza San Carlo. The coma that the citizens are witnessing is about to finish. On 25 April take the red pill.

@@@@@@ FOR FREEDOM INFORMATION@@@@ BEPPE GRILLO'S BLOG

Don’t vote for the Merlin lists

grillo_berlusconi_leggeelettorale.jpg



The electoral lists are like a transparent Easter Egg. There’s no surprise. Dell’Utri, Cuffaro, Carra, Crisafulli have already been elected, together with all the others. They will become our employees at 25,000 euro a month even Fassino (for the fourth time), his wife (for the fifth time), D’Alema, the lawyers and the secretariat of the psycho dwarf. The Lower and the Upper houses are full. Sold out.
Parliament is the new brothel of the Italians. The 2006 Calderoli/psycho-dwarf piggish electoral law brought in closed lists. The Merlin lists. It took away from the citizens the possibility to choose their own candidate. Deputies and Senators are picked up from the streets of Italy by the party secretaries. By now they are political figures between pimps and ponces.
Your vote is of no use. The game has already been played. Don’t you believe that? Before the elections, I will publish the composition of the Lower House and of the Upper House, name by name, “prescritto” by “prescritto”, convict by convict. After the elections, check who has been elected. If my forecasts are correct it means you have been taken for a ride.
There’s another thing I can’t stomach. That the mayors and the presidents of the Regions can resign so that they can be candidates in the national elections. The citizens of their towns and regions voted them in for a 5 year term of office. They were employed to do a specific job. They don’t give a toss about their employees. About their town, their region. Formigoni resigns as President of Lombardy to be Minister of Foreign Affairs. Topo Gigio Veltroni resigns as Mayor of Rome to become Party Secretary. But don’t you feel you have been taken for a ride? The money for the regional and local election campaigns in Lombardy and Rome, the citizens’ time, new elections, new local cabinet members. These folk change position each time they can earn more. They are political prostitutes.
Not voting is the only choice left to you. Don’t give legitimacy to an unconstitutional electoral law. Explain to those who believe they are exercising their rights on 13 April that they are victims of an enchantment. Anyone who votes becomes an accomplice, even if they don’t know it.

@@@@@@@@@@@@ ST.PATRICK'S DAY!!! 17 MARCH 2008 @@@@@@@@@

 

Patrick in legend

The Shamrock
The Shamrock

Pious legend credits Patrick with banishing snakes from the island,

 though post-glacial Ireland never actually had snakes; one suggestion is that snakes

referred to the serpent symbolism of the Druids of that time and place, as shown

 for instance on coins minted in Gaul (see Carnutes), or that it could have referred

 to beliefs such as Pelagianism, symbolized as “serpents”. Legend also credits

 Patrick with teaching the Irish about the concept of the Trinity by showing

 people the shamrock, a 3-leaved clover, using it to highlight the Christian

 belief of 'three divine persons in the one God' (as opposed to the Arian belief

 that was popular in Patrick's time). Whether or not these legends are true,

 the very fact that there are so many legends about Patrick shows how

 important his ministry was to Ireland. Some Irish legends involve the Oilliphéist,

the Caoránach, and the Copóg Phádraig. During his evangelising journey back to

Ireland from his parent's home at Birdoswald, he is understood to have carried

 with him an ash wood walking stick or staff. He thrust this stick into the ground

wherever he was evangelising and at the place now known as Aspatria (ash of Patrick)

 the message of the good news took so long to get through to the people there that

 the stick had taken root by the time he was ready to move on. The 12th century

 work Acallam na Senórach tells of Patrick being met by two ancient warriors,

 Caílte mac Rónáin and Oisín, during his evangelical travels. The two were once

 members of Fionn mac Cumhaill's warrior band the Fianna, and somehow

survived to Patrick's time. They traveled with the saint and told him their stories.

@@@@@@@@@@@ BELLAGIO - NEVADA @@@@@@@@

 

 

 


 

Bellagio is a AAA Five-Diamond rated luxury hotel and casino located on the

 Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, USA. It is owned by MGM Mirage and

 was built on the site of demolished Dunes hotel and casino. Inspired by the

 Lake Como resort of Bellagio in Italy, Bellagio is famed for its elegance.

 One of its most notable features is an 8 acres (32,000 ) artificial lake

 between the building and the Strip, which houses the Fountains of Bellagio,

 a large dancing water fountain synchronized to music.

Bellagio was conceived by Steve Wynn and built by his company,

 Mirage Resorts, Inc. following the purchase and demolition of the

 legendary Dunes hotel and casino in 1993. Bellagio was designed by

 Marnell Corrao Associates and Jon Jerde. Bellagio had an original

construction cost of US$1.6 billion.

The Bellagio employs approximately 10,000 people. In the fall of 2006,

 the casino floor was remodeled and new uniforms were issued, changing

 the original color scheme to a more contemporary blue tone.

Inside Bellagio, Dale Chihuly's Fiori di Como, composed of over 2,000

 hand-blown glass flowers, covers 2,000 sq ft (190 m²) of the lobby ceiling.

 Bellagio is home to Cirque du Soleil's aquatic production of "O", only the

 second permanent production show for the world-renowned troupe.

PORLEZZA - COMO

PORLEZZA (CO)

fotocontenuto

Porlezza

A picturesque tourist village, situated on the banksof Lake Lugano, at the mouth of Val Menaggio, in an area which used to be coveredwith water from a glacier lake. The commune comprisesthe hamlets of Agria, Begna, Cima and Tavordo. Its tourist vocation is due not only to its favourable geographic position but also the wealth of its historic and artistic legacies. In the Medieval period it was a fortified village, as archaeological finds have documented, and played a significant role in the struggle between Como and Milan. It then became part of the Duchy of Milan, following the fortunes of the same.
As regards its past, the entire historic nucleus can still be seen today; it has maintained its original Medieval appearance,with narrow streets, numerous courtyards and entrance ways. Of the many remarkable buildings, visitors should certainly see the romanesque oratory of S. Maurizio, an architectonic jewel dating from the XII century.
Porlezza is also a lively industrial and commercial centre, with a wealth oftradition behind it; in the XVIII and XIX centuries it was active in the textile and glass-making industry. In the areas around the village it is possible to undertake interesting excursions and water ski.
Photo: Porlezza.

Cima

Cima is a characteristic group of houses, a hamlet of Porlezza, facing the north shore of Lago di Lugano. Located in a particularly fortunate position for its mountains and climate, it is distinguished by its beautiful landscape of terraced olive groves and immersed in an atmosphere of calm and relaxation. It is ideal for those seeking a vacation away from stress and the most crowded tourist destinations. Besides its magical atmosphere of well-being, Cima offers travellers the opportunity to practice various water sports, including canoeing and water-skiing.

Tavordo

This is one of four hamlets of Porlezza, at the northeast edge of Lake Lugano, between the Cuccio Stream and the Rezzo. Very interesting for tourists and travellers, the hamlet is on the Porlezza plain, a vast expanse of extraordinarily beautiful terrain that starts at the northern shore of the lake.
It is worth visiting the little village of Porlezza, which is also a starting point for hikes in the surrounding valleys or Passo Stretto, for camping at Alpe Vecchio and Lake Lugano.

@@@@@@@@@ VARENNA - LAKE COMO @@@@@@@@@@@@@

Varenna - Como LakeTo Varenna the Lake Como's make majestic: in the center hold out the tip of Bellagio, on the shell coast the countries of Cadenabbia, Menaggio, Acquaseria while to north the great mirror blue seems to lap the giant terrace of the Mesolcina chain.
The village is articulated in a reticulum of alleys that decrease steep towards Lake Como, where the houses mirror in the water like in sure zones of the Liguria.
Of preistorica origin,(they have been finds rests to you rooster-Roman), Varenna conquered in the Middle Ages the communal freedoms.
During the war of the ten years it was opposed to Como and it made alloy with the Comacina Island from which it received the fugitive after its destruction. Already then Varenna was famous for its marbles white man-black.

Not far away from the church of S.George, along via IV November the income of the neoclassica Isimbrandi villa is caught aglimpse or the Cypresses with garden and terraces connected from one perron.
Little more ahead, the income of Monastero Villa Varenna - Como Lake is found, name that derives from the original destination of the building to place of spiritual withdrawal of nuns cistercensi of Saint Maria Maddalena, between insigne the sculptures it goes remembered the clemenza of Tito, last work unfinished of G.B. Comolli (1830).

We advise from Varenna, one trip to Esino Lario m.913, said the pearl of the Grigne for it's splendid position, from the road for Esino a short shunting line catches up Castel Vezio to m. 383, tower of a medioevale castle, dwelling of Queen longobarda Teodolinda.
