Like every year we are given the ominous ... date for a few unfortunate people, because the majority of Italians are absolutely ignorant on the subject, as indeed on everything that concerns the history of our country. Among the 'wise' then we can list a number of variants more or less tragic: those who know heard to say (and of course they can not perceive the seriousness of the event), those who rejoice in the event (as if there were remember to be happy in the beginning of a civil war, regardless of the extent to which one prefers to take sides, is certainly the most tragic of a civil war and the least we can expect, etc.). But what exactly was the 8th of September? Without going into the visions of hand and without dwelling too much on the subject, certainly very well known by the few who read these lines, it can be summarized as follows: on September 8, 1943 was the date in which the Italian government represented by General Badoglio sanctioned the unconditional surrender with the Allies (the former enemies) and simultaneously took up arms against the Axis (the former allies). It was only and exclusively that. Everything else falls n elle personal views or versions of convenience. The unvarnished truth is just that! A step back ... Italy, at war with a declaration to France and England, and therefore certainly be identified as the aggressor (same situation in the First World War in which we declared war on Austro-Hungarian Empire) the nvasa in its lands, unprepared to face a world war (a similar situation during the First World War it tackles the conflict in poor initial conditions, then improved through dedication of the fighters and all'efficiacia actions part of the political class and manager), tired of a war not wanted (such as in the previous conflict), the situation is exhausted in its majority. Mussolini is arrested and General Badoglio guide the country to the next stage: the country is destroyed and its last legs, absolutely necessary to end the war at all costs! So far in my opinion, nothing too strange. It 'absolutely normal for a nation at war, at some point, no longer able to fight and demand the surrender to the enemy paying the obvious penalty, as happened to us with what is contained in' s long truce. But a country destroyed by war and beset as we are still perhaps rightly submitted, it can not seek peace and simultaneously prepare to take up arms against their former ally, good or bad it is. This does not fit in any acceptable behavior.
Our politicians of the ruling class and did exactly that, on the skin of the people and soldiers who are scattered in Europe and the Mediterranean pay in person this decision. I want to cite just one example, among the most debated: Kefalonia. Even today we can attend events of all kinds to remember those poor soldiers shot by the Germans. My utmost respect for those fallen like all the fighters in uniform in each country and in every historical period. But most of us believe or have pretend to believe that Germans were the bad to kill in cold blood, the poor Italian soldiers, who were guilty only of having turned their backs. The tragic truth is that the German reaction, as in the brutal nature of this people (but I wonder who else would have done Diver), was caused as a result of several attacks by our troops there, authorized by this what remained of the Italian Supreme Command. High Command that he had "forgotten" to declare war on Germany , but ordered the troops scattered to resist and fight the new "invaders", putting themselves in position of "snipers" and not combat troops. We could get out of the war in other ways, not guilty of that will never erase quest'infamia: in front of the situation created, any government in power could have done this a German ally was not able to fight and that unconditional surrender was the only way for us viable. We could warn about this ally, p rhyme beginning of negotiations and, if he had stopped there, we would have every right to defend ourselves with arms. Some may assumed here that what is exactly what has happened in reality ... but in reality we do not feel our ally, we plotted our enemy to attack the troops of our ally, revenue in Italy also on our request to help defend the Allies (and this is another point to appear clearly), we turn against our ally weapons and decides to fight for the rest of the war. We, the Italians themselves war-weary and ready to embrace those people who until a few days earlier had killed thousands of our compatriots in the their bombs. For this I am ashamed to be Italian. The Germans and the Japanese are stained with crimes of all kinds, but at least from this point of view fell into the feet, unlike us, although we want to tell other, we fell with the ass in the air. Today, as then, the institutional representatives of a people are nothing but a photograph of the same people, at least of most of it. Today, as then, unfortunately, we are a country of cunning, of turncoats, flags of the wind, profiteers, and, now as then, we have what we deserve. Maybe I should not be indignant, but face up to reality.
Very Holy Fur ... 86 years but still the heart of a lion of the Thunderbolt. I've never written anything about him, but I had the pleasure and honor of knowing him personally last year in my last visit to El Alamein. We've been together about 12 days and I could appreciate the character, the will and the vitality of this man. I have not bothered with a thousand questions, because, even among the dunes of El Alamein flaunted safety, good humor and a big decision, I think the idea of \u200b\u200bsuffering intimately lost many friends.
From that day I have not seen again, but I see that remains, as always, to the occasion. Today, as then, is the best youth that this country has produced.
If a democratic country needs to detain a man only for what he writes ... or the country is not democratic or fair man writes things that should not be widespread ... The reasoning is simple and logical. Most people could answer me that, given the delicacy of the topic, it is also important to get to these extreme measures. Who says that I can not write what I want? Maybe even write lies, but why should I be prevented? Because someone has to stop me? If it is true what you write, it is not just a problem to prove false or let what I write, is "deflated" by himself. Who will give credit to any one, because here we are talking about any men, who wrote false things? Everything has to be lawful unless with my writings do not insult and defame a person. Honestly I defy any man of sense not to ask questions in front of these situations, because a country defined by all democratic, imprisons a man who claims to disagree about the Holocaust? Any man should ask this question. And ask the reason for this. If you publish a book which denied the extermination of Hutu to Tutsi and vice versa, you believe that someone would "lock up" for this? The answer is obviously no! And then every man who calls himself free, should understand that regardless of from what he thinks, this is an injustice that goes under nice and good for all to see that almost no one without tearing their clothes "for this. But, in my view, the problem is yet another that escapes most. If a state or states can legislate everything, then tomorrow will also legislate that we can no longer write freely on the Internet, Danilo Dolcini can not manage the site or ControStoria.it Saverio Ferrari no longer manage the site on the new Democratic Centre right, because they both write falsehoods and injustices that are so punished, even by imprisonment. The real tragedy is this. Everyone today should to freely express their ideas, write and argue, without running the risk of ending up in jail. This should be possible in a democracy, because we live in a democracy! Or not?
message Reynouard Vincent interned in a Holocaust exterminationist democratic camp: "Dear friends, First of all, thank you all that you wrote to me after my segregation in prison Forest. I no stamps or envelopes in sufficient numbers to reply to all, and what are sorry. Thanks again for your expressions of support that go straight to the heart ... The July 23 court in Brussels said that the arrest warrant issued by France against me, was valido.Quindi extradition is inevitable! Within 10 days or so. My lawyers have advised me some actions to avoid prison in France. Not follow that advice. Basically I want to say that in France, in 2010, a father of eight children aged between 1 and 17 years, he was interned in prison alone for treating publicly revisionist arguments. I wish to advise that in 2010, in France, a father of eight children, whose only weapon is the pen, is segregated in galera.Si answer that 99.9% of people do not care, and it is true, but then again WE Revisionists we must look ahead to the day when, with the help of events will change this state of neglect. Perhaps, then, we will be dead. Researchers at the time, free of taboos current (the Holocaust) by analyzing the history of our period (1990-2010) will discover the kind of repression suffered by the Revisionists today. As I write I think of my dear wife and my dear figli.Penso to their mood, yesterday in the prison visiting room, Marina cried. My son told me he does not eat and that the 5 "small" wanted their father to casa.Ciò hurts, but Truth has rights over us, to continue the revisionist struggle - whose implications go far beyond history - I do to help my children as well as for children of other peoples. For the Palestinians, for Europe and more generally to ensure that the world is free to this new world order built on the ruins of the Third Reich. Whatever the difficulties, the seed was sown one day sprout and grow, in spite of police, courts and prisons. "
