Some people swear that finally Libya is “free”. Free from the “tyranny” and “despotism” of one man.

But judging by the fact that there are still many armed men virtually out of control because they are enlisted as “militias”, one cannot say that the citizens of what was once the Jamahiriyya can be very calm and happy.

The simulacrum of the State which has replaced the creation of Gaddafi’s genius looks more like a kind of a permanent “gang war”, where each faction and tribe has resurfaced with its inconclusive political and religious sectarianism.

Sectarianism, tribalism, partisanship that lead straight into the abyss of enslavement and endarkment. In fact, consider the sidereal difference between the former Libya and the current chaos. And raise your hand – if one has the courage – who would not long to see applied instantly in Italy the ten provisions of the “tyrant” listed in this article [1].

In all this ‘masterpiece’, which saw Italy lose day by day its privileged position in favor of “the allies” (!) of NATO, the trend that has taken over the former “Fourth Shore” is that of the so-called “Islamic radicalism” or “fundamentalism”. That in words Westerners deprecate and abhor, but which, in fact, they encourage in every way.

And that fact that even Italians do this, is an index for the consideration of our “national interest” which has never fell to these infirm levels as under three successive “governments” since they decided that in Italy they can establish, regardless of the popular vote, the era of the presidential compulsory administration.

Italians should also give a due consideration to the repeated hints to “conquer Rome” made by the members of the so-called ISIS. Not because this is the city of the Pope or ‘our’ institutions (in this second case I think many would like to see a “caliph” entering Montecitorio, the Italian Chamber of Deputies, with a drawn sword!), but because it is the “eternal city ” which embodies a secret.

A secret that cannot be desecrated in any way by these hidebound fanatics, who actually the mass manipulated by many other circles, officially and blatantly hostile to them, which, however, manipulate them by their craftiness (and their money!).

In short, Rome is a plum for many.

And that Libya boosts such an outcome can be seen from the forest of microphones surrounding the spokesman of the “Islamic State”: four out of seven are channels of the Mediterranean country, neighbor across to us, from which every day throng, in a snotty and blackmail manner, hundreds of “the economic refugees”.

As can be seen deduced from the names of the Libyans channels themselves present there (a smattering of Arabicis enough), it does not lack the usual “free Libya”, according to a pattern seen in the “liberated” Europe, and then in Iraq, Afghanistan etc.

One can imagine how really “free” these TV stations are, but the important thing is to put on stage the theater of “freedom of information” with dozens, hundreds of channels operating around the clock.

This is what happens once somebody gets “liberated”: speeches instead of facts, with housing, health, education and work bartered with the lies and illusions of a “freedom of information”.

One can say whatever about America, whether we like it or not.

But not that it is not a country of immigrants.

Almost all the population of the United States of America was made up of immigrants during the last four or five centuries.

But there is one small problem. A trifle question which is always cheerfully slid over when it turns to drawing to tears from the stories of these “self-made man” who had departed with the cardboard suitcases and their Bibles, wandering and fleeing the terrible “Old World”.

It is the extermination of the indigenous peoples. Those who had lived in America, even without calling it thus, before all that which in the name of the “modern civilization” had landed on their ancestral land.

Yes, it is true that even the “American Indians” had arrived there after passing through the Bering Strait… but here we are talking about the lost in the millennia, while the planned massacre by those who laid smokescreens of tear gas is a very recent affair.

For which, by the way – while we, who remained on this side of the Atlantic, were hammered with our eternal “faults” real or imagined – no one has ever really suffered retribution, nor even evermade an apology. Thus it is hard to imagine these individuals, kissed by the lot of their “God” who would turn them into the Scrooge because of their “chosenness”, willing to shell out some money to compensate the committed serious wrong.

No way! While we have to open the purse because they always jumps out some “victim”, they continue undeterred to commit massacres around the world and no one can claim anything as compensation.

The trick is clear: only few in the world can boast the title of “victims”, with guaranteed annuity, and only some are exempt from having to disburse amounts of money by way of “repairs”.

And if we put together the two privileged categories, we find that it is the same people!

Those who really command America, for spite the five millions of the “new immigrants” that the new “swarthy messiah” waving us in the face with to claim a moral superiority that exists only in the fantasies of Hollywood.

Among these “new Americans” there abound the most disadvantaged ethnic groups in this parody of respect and tolerance which America represents, so to be sure that the industry of the perpetual wars made in the USA will draw its next meat from slaughterhouse.

But on the other hand, they have always done so, even when in the end of the two World Wars, to safeguard the grain that they had lent to their “allies”, “color” marines were shipped to Europe in droves.

The trick then goes on undeterred: I give you my coveted “citizenship” and you go to risk your neck for me.

In the face of the “nation in arms”, the Army of the United States is in fact – as recalled by the late John Kleeves [1] – a sort of a supermarketguard, on the look-out for the purely private interests masked understrictly publicideals, therefore that who actually goes to get the gunshots and breath depleted uranium is as a clerk in camouflage and equipped to the nines.

This, therefore, beyond the few ostentatious examples of “integration” (in making money, of course), is the love of the American system for “immigrants”. An individual who at the base of the social pyramid does the slave for nothing, breaking his back, and who, faced with the lack of prospects, finds nothing better than going to die (or be shocked or mutilated for life) to defend interests of the same smart ones who have always ridden the gravy train.

Our creative of politics are chalking up, if they have not already done it. We should expect, thus, a great “amnesty” and “regularization”, if our dear Italy hangs on following the expansionist delirium of its powerful and indisputable “ally”.

There have appeared the vice squad of ISIS in Mosul, which among other restrictions in which it specializes, has come up with putting a veil on the female mannequins [1].

In a nutshell, the ISIS has suggested the mannequins to “conform to the precepts of the Koran”, in line with the way of interpreting Islam by the modernist-fundamentalists complementary to that of their alleged secularist opponents.

For all these people, in fact, “the precepts of the Koran” can mean whatever. Obviously whatever goes in the sense of exaltation (or condemnation) of obsessive puritanism and literalism, the index of horrible ignorance. For this reason there are in fact those, Muslims, who hate certain triangular pancakes because they remind “the Trinity”, or carefully avoids eating croissant because it would originate from one teasing the besieged Vienna, that after resisting the Ottoman attack celebrated the victory with this candy shaped in crescent moon.

Yet, since the evil never consists exclusively of one side (or, at least, even the evil contains some aspiration to do something good), it must be said that the concern from which sprouts some farcical and self-righteous measure like this one, in principle is not completely wrong.

By this we mean that a mannequin (and especially one that reproduces the features of a woman) actually should not exist, unless we would like to talk about a vague outline of the human form (one can also omit the head, and we do not intend to sneer at “headhunters”! the serious tailors use a type of headless silhouettes).

The art of the mannequins nowadays has reached such a level that it can actually arouse lascivious thoughts, while it would be a sacred right of all of us to be able to walk the streets without this constant stress with images of women which are also found in the classical murals that jeopardize the safety of male motorists. Because the hypermarkets and major downtown streets of our cities have the windows illuminated in any hour, and sometimes it seems that some real beautiful girls are posing there.

Moreover, the clothing of these mannequins, their poses and their hairstyles serve as models for many women, so that then they go to dress up in the same manner on the edge of pornography.

At any rate, returning to the measure taken in Mosul by the ISIS’ “Vice Squad” (and given that we do not believe that in Mosul there are so many mannequins able to provoke certain fantasies…), if they were the least consistent with their puritanism, they would remove totally all mannequins, avoiding veiling their faces.

Anyway, it sustains the following fact: that a mannequin is a model for women, and in that context it must adapt to that model promoted by the advocates of this so-called “Islamic State”.

It would be more substantial to question the lawfulness of the human form portrayal, and then they should cover both the female and male mannequins, as well as any statue or painting or miniature representing a human being, any photo or video with human beings, including those of the so-called “caliph” and his henchmen. But imagine if these guys want to deprive themselves of the pleasure of posting on YouTube the scenes of their slaughters!

The fixation on the veiling of the female mannequin stells a lot about the bigotry and mock “traditionalism” of the organization with such a “pagan” name which has taken the control over the parts of Syria and Iraq. It appears that its members intend to relentlessly applying so farcical, and at the same time, absurd and manic mode every Islamic rule, to tell the world “here what Islamis!”, prompting instead hatred, contempt, laughter, horror and general disgust.

But their exaggerated and ridiculous puritanism is a mirror of the extreme Western exaltation, often vulgar, of the female sexuality in all that concerns advertising and commercial promotion (shop mannequins included).

Therefore, what should excite in us hilarity and confusion is, above all, the superficiality of these “fundamentalists”. On the understanding that the underlying problem of hypersexualization of our society does exist with all its devastating consequences for the human being’s inner foundations.

The final stage of the West’s war against Islam seems to have finally started. Particularly since this one revolves around a “Medieval” and terrifying “Caliphate”.

One did not need to be clairvoyant to predict that sooner or later we would arrive at such a place. It is enough to read a collection of pre 2008 articles that I’ve entitled Islamophobia: Authors, tactics and final objectives [1]. The final chapter which summarized the issue (Islam as a “problem” and Atlantic geopolitical strategies: A necessary relationship, revised and updated for the courses of the Master Mattei, University of Teramo, titled: “The Great Middle East” and The Anti-Islamic Moment of the “Clash of Civilizations”), still holds up well to the challenge of the time, because, as the title states, “fear of Islam” is the foundation of Atlantic geopolitical strategies in the Mediterranean and Eurasia [2].

Since the “Caliphate” was proclaimed in eastern Syria and north-central Iraq [3], Islamophobia has made a vigorous come back to the homes of Westerners who are flooded with sensational and alarming messages which cause much confusion and overdose even amongst Muslims themselves.

But before that, there was the so-called “Arab Spring” with its main objective of elimination of “moderate Arab regimes” whom the West officially sustained for years against the “extremists” (and who were on good terms – perhaps too good for our “allies” – with Italy of the First and also the Second Republic).

But everything started with what I defined in the book “The Big bang of the 21st century century”, which is that the terrorist’s action on the American territory added to the evanescent al-Qaeda.

We remember well how in the days following September 11, 2001 one of the main topics of Western propaganda, aimed at spreading contempt and distrust towards Islam, was the request made to virtually every Muslim to dissociate themselves from “terrorism” according to the absurd postulate that “not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims”, repeated incessantly by the “manufacturers of consent”.

The media, however, showed a way out: affiliation with the so-called “moderate Islam”, which actually was (and is) an amalgam of affiliating with Islam and accepting all anti-traditional cornerstones of “modern thought” (in addition to the adoption of an equidistant position in the “Israeli-Palestinian conflict”).

To safeguard us against the ravenous hordes of Islam, ruthless and guerrilla in character, there still existed those “moderate Arab regimes” which, in 2011 and after Obama’s famous speech in Cairo (June 2009, in which he cleverly “offered his hand to Islam”) were becoming upset with the so-called “Arab Spring”, elsewhere known as the “colour revolutions”. When the bribery of local officials (mostly drawn from the ranks of so-called “political Islam”, preceded by sincere but naive “liberals” plus the usual mob) did not prove sufficient, the West intervened with the classic apparatus of gunboats and bombers (v. the Libyan case).

In summary, the first phase of Islamophobia – dominated by Osama bin Laden, his deputy al-Zawahiri and other lieutenants (like al-Zarqawi), with all the attributes of “terrorist attacks” (London, Madrid etc.) and the chopped off heads, which were counterbalanced by the shoots by the cowboy Bush, the orange suits of Guantanamo and the “torture” at Abu Ghraib – was followed by the “phase of Hope”, along with Western audience deluded about the magnificent and progressive germs which would have aspired the Arab and Islamic masses desiring “democracy”. An “Islamic democracy” under the banner of the Muslim Brotherhood and the various acronyms related to them that have come into force here and there.

The apex of this second phase, in which even the worst cutthroats became heralds of freedom, coincided with the first part of the so-called “Syrian revolt”, which despite being inscribed in the “Arab Spring” has brought up to the inevitable prominence – given the location of Syria – the strategic significance of an operation aimed at the overthrow of the Damascus regime. Which, we must remember, short time before was even considered by some Western partners, albeit with some reservations (I think Italy), as a guarantor of “stability” in the Mediterranean and beyond.

At some point, however, with the overthrow of Egyptian President drawn from the ranks of the Muslim Brotherhood, Muhammad Morsi (operated perhaps with the Russian support?) [4], something in the subversive mechanism started by the West has run jammed. The “Syrian Revolt” has entered into crisis, as well as there has cracked the mechanism of the unilateral Western propaganda, although, to be honest, the discordant voices referred mainly to the mainstream focused on the “massacre of Christians” by Islamic fanatic “jihadist” formations; which prefigured the bend to “New Crusade” that has finally manifested itself through the emergence of this unique “Caliphate”.

But at last the classic omelet was made: with Libya reduced to the fundamentalist bands and huge oil fields of Syria and Iraq in the hands of the followers of the “Caliph” [5], the most terrifying face of Islam can finally enter the homes of Italians and other subjects of the West.

This is the phase number three of the project which aims to destabilize permanently all the Mediterranean and the Near East, with not too remote possibility for us to become involved militarily in a war which is not ours and that we have not longed for at all, for the simple fact that for Italy the Mediterranean and the Near East before 1991 (operation Desert Storm) were good as they were, except Israel, which in fact had always frowned upon those statesmen who have been eliminated later on – starting from the following year – with the media-judicial operation “Clean Hands”.

From the propaganda point of view, the Islamophobic terror, which this new phase is able to arouse in the minds of naive people manipulated and conquered by the “Western values”, is certainly more elevated than that of the first phase when Bin Laden and his associates were ‘a great screen presence’.

In the end, the “Sheikh of terror” and his organization have attacked only America. Yes, we had to be solidly “all Americans”, but still we did not feel fully embarked in the enterprise, and in fact we always kept a foot in both camps (see the Franco-German position in 2003, when the English America invaded Iraq). And who said that the “massacre of Nasiriya” (November 12, 2003) [6] was due to the “Islamic partisans” and not to some of our indescribable “ally”?
Currently there are no more excuses to escape and to pretend to be “smart”. They make us understand it ever more insistently. Not surprising, therefore, that from the mouth of the Italian ministers are coming outstatements about the possibilities of one of our largest and most ‘active’ involvement in the operations in Iraq aimed at curbing a danger that in unison goes defined as not only regional but “to the whole world”…

The dreadful “Caliphate”, with its allies positioned on the Libyan coast, new Saracens, is there to astonish us with its “Medievalism”, so if you want to save the “modernity” with all its “values” you can no longer escape the call to arms of the West led by Anglo-Zionists!

Droves of “migrants” among which the “terrorists” could hide,stud our defenseless coasts, while among the children of the so-called “second generation” the call to the “holy war” becomes popular. Somewhere, in the Near East, there is a “Caliph” who longs to conquer Rome, while “Christians” and minorities suffer massacres, and it does not matter to the propaganda purposes whether the Muslims with the views other than the Isis are suffering the same treatment. This is what oozes from newspapers and TV news, that in two minutes blend everything into a terrifying cocktail after which the unlucky and unprepared viewer can only wish for a shower of atomic bombs on the entire Middle East.

Finally, having entered the third stage, that of “the total war” to Islam, the concomitant “Ukrainian crisis” also makes it clear even to the imbeciles the link between the September 11, Islamophobia and the attack to Eurasia. While Western propaganda – without already even a crimp by his “friend” Berlusconi – depicts Putin as a bloodthirsty and irresponsible madman, so we must fear that the stupid and unjustifiable “sanctions” against Moscow will pair with an armed intervention of the usually unlikely “little Italy” in the Islamic East?
