George Soros met Italian PM in Rome today
Quell’incontro a Palazzo Chigi tra Soros e il premier Gentiloni
Il presidente del Consiglio Paolo Gentiloni ha ricevuto in mattinata l’imprenditore, filantropo e finanziere George Soros. Una visita su cui FI chiede conto
Una visita su cui il senatore FI Lucio Malan chiede conto. “Stupisce molto leggere che il Presidente del Consiglio Paolo Gentiloni – afferma – ha ricevuto oggi il multimiliardario George Soros, al pari del presidente della Repubblica Federale Tedesca che sarà fra poco a Palazzo Chigi. George Soros fu per sua stessa ammissione il protagonista delle speculazioni che nel 1992 causarono una svalutazione della lira del 30% e la dissipazione di 40mila miliardi di lire di riserve valutarie della Banca d’Italia, oggi sostiene apertamente la più ampia immigrazione verso l’Italia, propugna e finanzia le politiche LGBT e a favore della liberalizzazione delle droghe. Sarebbe interessante sapere la ragione e il contenuto di questo colloquio, non preannunciato e non segnalato”, domanda Malan. Sul sito del governo non c’è traccia dell’incontro. E questo alimenta i dubbi.
“Presenterò una interrogazione al premier Gentiloni per chiedere i motivi della presenza dell’imprenditore Soros a Palazzo Chigi. Evidentemente, se è stato ricevuto nella sede ufficiale del Governo, si tratta di un impegno istituzionale ed è normale che il Parlamento ne venga informato, visto il ruolo che egli ebbe nell’attacco speculativo del 1992 contro la lira, da lui giudicato ‘una legittima operazione finanziarià”, afferma Elvira Savino, deputata di Forza Italia.

IL PREMIER PD LO ACCOGLIE CON IL TAPPETO ROSSO
Soros da Gentiloni. Continua la campagna acquisti dello squalo pro-invasioneLo definiscono “filantropo”, in realtà finanzia pubblicamente l’immigrazione e con i suoi fondi di investimento è pronto a mangiarsi le aziende pubbliche
“George Soros è stato questa mattina a Palazzo Chigi. L’imprenditore e filantropo è stato ricevuto dal presidente del Consiglio Paolo Gentiloni”. E’ una stringata e asettica agenzia di stampa a descrivere quello che è uno degli incontri più importanti che il premier italiano potesse tenere in questa fase pre-elettorale. Soros infatti, secondo quanto appreso da fonti finanziarie e politiche da MF-Milano Finanza, ha messo nel mirino il mercato italiano e non va mai a finire bene per gli interessi nazionali quando si è nell’obiettivo del miliardario di origini ungheresi, 29° uomo più ricco al mondo per Forbes con un patrimonio di 25,2 miliardi di dollari.
Ma non solo finanziere, Soros è anche protagonista della campagna di invasione migratoria in atto con il suo annuncio di voler investire 500milioni di dollari proprio sul tema immigrazione. Finanziatore delle Ong e vampiro di ricchezze, un’immagine perfettamente calzante con il modello Pd.
A quanto pare in questo periodo il magnate avrebbe lanciato lo staff del suo gruppo d’investimento, e in particolare Shanin Vallée, su uno studio approfondito sull’Italia, non solo dal punto di vista finanziario, economico e industriale ma anche politico con l’obiettivo di cercare nuovi sbocchi di investimenti, diretti o indiretti, a medio-lungo termine visto che con la Quantum Group of funds (di cui è fondatore) e, soprattutto da advisor di Blackrock, colosso dell’investimento Usa, avrebbero tutte le intenzioni di aumentare le partecipazioni in aziende italiane.
In effetti Blackrock è già un player importante di piazza Affari avendo quote per quasi 2 miliardi nel sistema bancario ma anche in società come Eni, Enel, Generali, Telecom Italia, Mediaset. Partecipazioni che toccano aziende pubbliche strategiche e la cui efficienza e buona salute sono di fondamentale importanza per l’interesse nazionale.
Lo squalo sente il sangue dovuto all’instabilità politica causata dai governi di larghe intese che dal 2011 hanno gestito il Paese, dalla crisi economica che attanaglia la Penisola e dal ruolo comprimario dei Governi Pd nell’Ue, tutti fattori che hanno permesso a gruppi di portata globale di fare acquisizioni a prezzi vantaggiosi.
Non va poi trascurato il tema dei crediti deteriorati (350 miliardi lordi), il cui ammontare è tra i più alti del Vecchio Continente, che sta attirando come avvoltoi i fondi speculativi.
Soros, oggi ospite di Paolo Gentiloni non può avere “buone intenzioni” riguardo ai suoi interessi finanziari in Italia e, come scrive Formiche.net, avrebbe assegnato il “dossier Italia” a Shanin Vallée, dal maggio 2015 senior economist per il Soros Fund e in precedenza consigliere economico del ministero dell’Economia francese e, dal giugno del 2012, advisor economico dell’ex presidente del Consiglio europeo, Herman Van Rompuy. Vallée, che sta studiando per un Ph. D. all’Istituto europeo della London School of Economics, è stato anche ricercatore per Bruegel, il comitato di analisi delle politiche economiche nato a Bruxelles nel 2005 e presieduto all’inizio dall’ex premier italiano Mario Monti.
Il consulente di Soros sarebbe sul punto di completare il suo articolato report sul mercato italiano dopo averne fatto uno sul sistema bancario (con focus su Unicredit, Mps e le banche venete) dopo aver avuto contatti diretti con parte del governo Gentiloni.
Tra un barcone e l’altro Soros si prepara ad acquisire banche e aziende: come uno squalo è intorno alla preda e se il Governo lo accoglie con il tappeto rosso rischia solo di esserne complice.

A vulnerable father of two was tortured to death by his girlfriend and three of her associates who even forced him to eat his own testicle, a court has heard.
Jimmy Prout, 45, was in a relationship with 26-year-old Ann Corbett, but last year there was a fall-out with her and their friends who were like a clan or cult, the jury was told.
Mr Prout was then targeted by Miss Corbett and her friends Myra Wood, 49, Kay Rayworth, 55, and Zahid Zaman, 43, in a protracted torture ordeal that prosecutors said “belongs in the Dark Ages.”

Grillo accuses New York Times of fake news in vaccine report (ansa, May 3, 2017)
http://www.ansa.it/english/news/2017/05/03/grillo-accuses-new-york-times-of-fake-news-in-vaccine-report-3_fa32cc3d-401d-4c3a-b849-28d5529ae80d.html
“5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Beppe Grillo on Wednesday accused The New York Times of “fake news” over a editorial that said the anti-establishment group was feeding skepticism about vaccines.
“Today The New York Times published an article which states that ‘In Italy, the populist Five Star Movement (M5S) led by the comedian Beppe Grillo has campaigned actively on an anti-vaccination platform, likewise repeating the false ties between vaccinations and autism’,” Grillo wrote on his blog.
“There is nothing to support this lie, not even a link, a reference, a statement. Nothing. It’s not there because it’s a lie”. The New York Times quoted Italian Ministry of Health figures reporting 1,739 cases of measles up to April 26, compared with 840 in all of 2016 and only 250 in 2015, and noted that 88% of sufferers had not been vaccinated.
Ex-premier Matteo Renzi, the leader of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), called on Grillo to apologise. “Today Italy is in The New York Times because of the increase in measles cases. And for the fact that some parties like the 5-Stars are intentionally skeptical about vaccines,” Renzi said on Facebook. “(It’s) an incredible, international bad show. And what does Beppe Grillo do this morning?
He attacks the The New York Times… “But how can you? Enough already. For once, Grillo, go back to being human: leave the clicks and the algorithms.
“Take back the words you said against vaccines and against mammographs. Apologise and we will all respect your step back”.”
zero hedge – FRANCE – Documents Indicate That Emmanuel Macron May Be Engaging In Tax Evasion
Documents leaked online today appear to show that French Presidential Candidate Emmanuel Macron entered into an operating agreement for a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the Caribbean island of Nevis, and that the company may have had a business relationship with a bank which has been previously involved in tax evasion cases in the Cayman Islands. Macron claimed he was not concealing assets or holding secret offshore accounts less than a month ago.
The first document is an operating agreement drawn up on May 4th, 2012 to form “La Providence LLC” under the 1995 Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance bearing Mr. Macron’s name and signature. La Providence is the name of Macron’s former high school in Amiens, where he first met his wife. The decision to form a company in Nevis is suspect, as the Nevis Confidential Relationship Act prohibits the disclosure of information and guarantees the secrecy and privacy of offshore LLCs in Nevis. Information about company owners is not published nor is it available to the public. Nevis has been described by Bloomberg as one of a number of popular tax havens in the Caribbean.
A second document is a letter sent to La Providence Ltd. from the First Caribbean International Bank, indicating a business relationship with Macron’s LLC. Forbes reported that First Caribbean International Bank was implicated as a facilitator of tax evasion in 2013. It has also been named by Reuters as a player in fraud relating to the 2015 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) scandals, after it emerged that a representative for First Caribbean had personally collected a check from a FIFA official and then returned to deposit it in an account in the Bahamas.
In April, Macron denied that he was hiding offshore accounts or inheritances from French authorities, even as his opponent Francois Fillion became mired in similar allegations. If confirmed as authentic, the documents would prove these claims to be untrue and provide important clues as to where the hidden funds might be located.

Switzerland faces ‘heightened’ terror threat in uncertain Europe (thelocal, May 3, 2017)

““The question isn’t if an attack will take place in Switzerland, but when.” That’s the view expressed by Swiss defence minister Guy Parmelin at a press conference on Tuesday as the Swiss federal intelligence service (FIS) released its situation report.
The head of the FIS, Markus Seiler, took a calmer stance but spoke of an “elevated” threat, reported Le Temps.
In a statement to release its 2017 situation report, the FIS said the challenges it faced “are becoming increasingly complex”, in part because of the “extraordinary pressure” on Europe “due to a variety of crisis situations”…”

Impossible to grant access to Wikipedia in Turkey unless judicial decisions are implemented: Watchdog (hurriyetdailynews, May 3, 2017)
http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/impossible-to-grant-access-to-wikipedia-in-turkey-unless-judicial-decisions-are-implemented-watchdog.aspx?pageID=238&nID=112666&NewsCatID=339
“It is impossible to grant access to the world’s largest encyclopedia, Wikipedia, unless Turkey’s judicial decisions are implemented, the head of the country’s telecommunications watchdog has said.
“There are judicial processes that had been completed regarding some Wikipedia pages but, unfortunately, Wikipedia has not removed those pages. Turkey obeys the rule of law and what will be said on the issue has already been said by the courts. It is impossible for Wikipedia to be opened without the implementation of those decisions,” Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) head Ömer Fatih Sayan said at the opening ceremony of the Turkey Informatics Summit on May 3.
Sayan said the country is a “civilization of knowledge,” while expressing his sadness over the access ban.
He also said authorities were open to any kind of cooperation on condition that the website administration abide by the law to implement judicial decisions so as to permit access.
“We can discuss it … Freedom is not one-sided. Turkey has the rule of law. Everyone should [act] within the law. No one has the right to say, ‘I do not recognize the Turkish courts.’ I also want to express that we are ready to provide all kinds of support to re-open Wikipedia,” Sayan said.
Sayan, meanwhile, urged the online encyclopedia to confirm the information it provides.
“My call is that Wikipedia should solve problems that led to its closure and the system should be rehabilitated at this point if required. We care about the latest developments in the fight against fake news on the internet … We find WikiTribune initiative by Wikipedia officials positive. Fighting against fake news is beneficial for all of us,” Sayan said.
The telecommunications watchdog stated on April 29 that it had blocked access to Wikipedia, citing a law allowing it to ban access to websites deemed obscene or a threat to national security.
The Ankara 1st Criminal Court of Peace later ordered the ban after the Wikipedia administration reportedly refused to remove two English-language pages claiming that Ankara channeled support to jihadists in Syria.
In response, the Wikimedia Foundation appealed the court ruling that came after the administrative measure against the website.”

“Julian Assange has fired back at Hillary Clinton, branding her the “butcher of Libya” in a scathing response to the former presidential candidate’s labeling of WikiLeaks as “Russian WikiLeaks”.
The editor of the whistle-blowing website shared his agitated response in a tweet Wednesday, a day after Clinton claimed that her loss to Donald Trump in last year’s presidential election was caused by the actions of FBI Director James Comey and WikiLeaks.
Clinton claimed to take “absolute personal responsibility” for her loss, adding that she “was on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey’s letter, on October 28, and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me, but got scared off.”
Assange hit back at the claim, describing it as a lie and calling Clinton the “butcher of Libya.”…”

It is not clear if Tuesday’s test was the first time that Iran had attempted to launch a missile underwater from a submarine. In February, Iran claimed it was successful in a similar test…”

“The US has established a military base in the southernmost reaches of Libya, documents reveal, as Washington cements its presence in Libya and beyond amid claims by Donald Trump it has “no role” in the country.
Documents released under a freedom of information request show a US “contingency location” was set up around 2015 at al-Wigh, a Saharan desert oasis near Libya’s borders with Niger, Chad, and Algeria.
The base is positioned near smuggling routes from Niger and Chad, used by thousands of migrants attempting to reach the African coastline, and in a region where gun-runners move weapons between Libya, Niger, Chad and Mali.
It is listed as a “non-permanent” facility and its current status and force size is unknown. However, the documents show that the US command structure in Africa, Africom, set out plans to convert many “contingency locations” into semi-permanent bases for use by rapid US reaction forces…”
Boko Haram leader Shekau ‘injured in air strike’ (gulfnews, May 3, 2017)

“Kano, Nigeria: Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau has been injured and one of his deputies killed in an air strike in northeast Nigeria, civilian and security sources told journalists on Wednesday.
Two Nigerian Air Force jets bombarded fighters who had gathered for prayers in Balla village, some 40 kilometres from Damboa, on the edge of the Sambisa Forest, last Friday.
“Shekau was wounded in the bombings and is believed to be receiving treatment near the Nigerian border with Cameroon around Kolofata,” said one source with contacts within Boko Haram.
“His deputy, Abba Mustapha, alias Malam Abba, was killed in the attack along with another key lieutenant, Abubakar Gashua, alias Abu Aisha,” he added.
Babakura Kolo, a member of the civilian militia in the Borno state capital, Maiduguri, gave a similar account, saying “Shekau was injured and a number of commanders were killed…”

L’inviata di Matrix aggredita in diretta alla stazione Termini
Momenti di tensione in diretta in apertura della puntata di Matrix dedicata proprio alla sicurezza nelle grandi città.
Appena Nicola Porro si collega, intorno alle 23,30, con la sua inviata alla Stazione Termini di Roma, per documentare la situazione dei bivacchi che la popolano la notte, Francesca Parisella ha giusto il tempo di iniziare il collegamento per poi avvertire “ci hanno aggrediti”. La camera ondeggia, si capisce che la giornalista e l’operatore stanno fuggendo e la voce della cronista sale di tono sino a trasformarsi in un vero e proprio urlo di paura. Qualche minuto dopo, Porro da studio spiega che “Francesca è sconvolta ma sta bene. Hanno distrutto la telecamera e malmenato l’operatore. Uno come quello di questa sera Non dovrebbe essere un reportage in zona di guerra. Grazie a un tassista, se no sarebbe finita molto peggio”. Versione confermata dalla stessa Parisella, al telefono, poco dopo: “Eravamo a distanza per raccontare che tipo di accoglienza possiamo dare, si sono infastiditi e ci hanno aggrediti. Mi hanno rincorsa e preso per la giacca”, spiega la giornalista.
