  • It’s all go

    After the story of Voldemort Sallusti yesterday, the real author of the piece finally broke his silence.  The writer was not Voldemort himself but a PDL MP called Farini.  This disgraceful person owned up after watching someone else being sentenced for his appalling journalism and personal vendetta.   Now we know why.  Farini was Anonymous,…

  • Opinion hated

    This rather unpleasant individual who has the ring of Voldemort about him, is the ex-editor of the Berlusconi in house paper – Il giornale.  Yesterday he was sentenced to 14 months in prison for an article he wrote/published a few years ago about a judge.   Mr Sallusti says it is all a conspiracy and…

  • Remember Ratners?

    Italy is about to have its Gerald Ratner moment.  A lingerie company called Parah decided it wanted ALOT of publicity and hired ex dental nurse, Berlo bunny and now Lombard politician to mince around in their lingerie.   Minetti obviously said yes – on the basis that getting her bits out was helping Italian industry.…

  • The Death of a Cardinal

    Its not surprising that the Italian media has not reported the last interview of Cardinal Martini who died last week.  EVen teh Corriere della Sera who did the interview didnt publish it until there was a query about it.   The rest of the press has stolidly ignored it, as have all the TV news…

  • MUOS

    The scale of the planned MUOS system in Sicily is becoming apparent.  MUOS is a new communications system for the US armed forces, and allows stuff like drones to be operated from a desk in Washington.  There are 4 MUOS stations in the world, 3 in the unpopulated zones of America, Australia and Hawaii.  The…
