Subject: Fwd: Could It Happen Here?

Can this country learn something from Italy's experience?

Did it seem strange that the "WuHan Virus" first appeared in Northern Italy? It
did to me. I would expect it to first surface in a "Pacific Rim" location. For example,
Japan, Philippines, or even San Francisco or Los Angeles. But close to the Italian
Swiss border ? To my mind, that just didn't seem to be the most likely spot...
Well, here is how it happened,...and more importantly, could this happen in America?

ITALY'S COMMUNIST RECIPE FOR DISASTER
Published March 24, 2020 | By Giacomino Nicolazzo
Giacomino Nicolazzo is one of Italy's most beloved writers. Born and raised in
Central Pennsylvania, he lives in a small village in Lombardy where he writes his
books. Montecalvo, Lombardy, Italy. As I sit here in my involuntary isolation, it was
just reported that overnight 743 more people died and 5.249 new cases have been
reported. This brings the total cases of infection to 69,176 and the body count to 6,820.
We take relief in knowing that 8,326 people have recovered so far. (Numbers as of
3/24, 8:30pm in Italy.)
Most towns here in Italy, from the upper reaches of the Alps to the ancient shores
of Sicilia and Sardenia, while not deserted, are closer to being ghost towns than the
bustling centers of tourism, business and daily life they were just a few weeks ago.
Stores and shops have been shuttered. Restaurants and coffee shops no longer serve
customers. Schools, universities, sporting arenas…even our museums and theaters…
all closed. Even the Vatican City has closed its gates and armed patrols monitor the
20 foot tall walls that protect it!
Streets and roads are now empty for as far as the eye can see. Normally they
would be filled with crazed Italian drivers in tiny cars and
scooters (the ones that
sound like demonic insects) darting here and there, reaching the limits of centrifugal
force on our roundabouts. In the piazze of our towns and cities, there are now
officially more pigeons than people.
Many of us know someone who has been infected and recovered. Some of us
know someone who did not recover…now they are dead. But everyone knows
someone who has been affected by this microscopic monster in one way or another.
Sixty million of us are in lockdown…it is like a war zone here. We are being held
prisoner in our own homes by an unseen enemy that sneaked in unnoticed…by
most of us. As you will read in just a few more minutes, there were those who
knew something like this was coming…or at least they should have.
So who is to blame? With all this craziness swirling like a whirlpool at our feet, I
just had to find the blame answer. And so I have spent my free time (of which I
have a lot in these days) digging and researching. I was literally shocked to discover
how this has come to be. I am not going to bore you with talk of Patient '0' who
spread it to Patient '1' and how mathematics efficiently explains the rapid expansion
of infection. No…I am going to tell you how (as I see it) the virus came to Italy
It has everything to do with communists and how they getting their "hands around
the throat" of every nation they can with a false currency, meanwhile they steal the
real assets . Allow me to explain: Beginning in about 2014, Matteo Renzi, the
imbecile ex-mayor of Firenze (Florence) acting as the leader of the Partito
Democratico (synonymous with the Italian Communist party), somehow managed to
get himself elected as Italy's Prime Minister. To give you a proper frame of
reference, Matteo Renzi was so far left, he would make Barack Obama look like
Trump!
At the same time that Renzi was leading Italy into oblivion, strange things were
happening in Italy's economy. Banks were failing…but not closing. Retirement ages
were being extended…for some reason the pension funds were dwindling or
disappearing The national sales tax we call IVA (Value Added Tax) rose from 18%
to 20%, then to 21% and again to 22%. And in the midst of all this financial
chicanery, the Chinese began furiously buying up Italian real estate and businesses
in the North.
Now the reason I mention Renzi and the Chinese together is that strange things
were also going on between the governments of Italy and China. A blind eye was
being turned to the way the Chinese were buying businesses in the financial,
telecommunication, industrial and fashion sectors of Italy's economy, all of which
take place in Milano. To be brief…China was getting away with purchases and
acquisitions in violation of Italian law and EU Trade Agreements with the US and
the UK…and no one in either of those countries (not Obama in the US or
Cameron in the UK) said a thing in their country's defense. As a matter of fact,
much of it was hidden from the public in all three countries.
In 2014, China infused the Italian economy with €5 billion through purchases of
companies costing less than €100 million each. By the time Renzi left office (in
disgrace) in 2016, Chinese acquisitions had exceeded €52 billion. When the dust
settled, China owned more than 300 companies…representing 27% of the major
Italian corporations. The Bank of China now owns five major banks in Italy…all
of which had been secretly (and illegally) propped up by Renzi using pilfered
pension funds! Soon after, the China Milano Equity Exchange was opened and
much of Italy's wealth was being funneled back to the Chinese mainland.
Chinese state entities own Italy's major telecommunication corporation (Telecom)
as well as its major utilities (ENI and ENEL). Upon entry into the telecommunication
market, Huawei established a facility in Segrate, a suburb of Milano. It launched its
first research center there and worked on the study of microwaves which has
resulted in the possibly-dangerous technology we call 5G. China also now owns
controlling interest in Fiat-Chrysler, Prysmian and Terna. You will be surprised to
know that when you put a set of Pirelli tires on your car, the profits are going to
China. Yep…the Chinese colossus of ChemChina, a chemical industry titan, bought
that company too!
Last but not least is Ferretti yachts…the most prestigious yacht builder in Europe.
Incredibly, it is no longer owned by the Ferretti family. But the sector in which
Chinese companies invested most was Italy's profitable fashion industry. The Pinco
Pallino, Miss Sixty, Sergio Tacchini, Roberta di Camerino and Mariella Burani
brands have been acquired by 100%. Designer Salvatore Ferragamo sold 16% and
Caruso sold 35%. The most famous case is Krizia, purchased in 2014 by Shenzhen
Marisfrolg Fashion Company, one of the leaders of high-priced, ready-to-wear
fashions in Asia. Throughout all of these purchases and acquisitions, Renzi's
government afforded the Chinese unrestricted and unfettered access to Italy and its
financial markets, many coming through without customs inspections.
Quite literally, tens of thousands of Chinese came in through Milano (illegally) and
went back out carrying money, technology and corporate secrets. Thousands more
were allowed to enter and disappeared into shadows of Milano and other
manufacturing cities of Lombardy, only to surface in illegal sewing shops, producing
knock-off designer clothes and slapping 'Made In Italy' labels on them. All with the
tacit approval of the Renzi government.
It was not until there was a change in the governing party in Italy that the sweatshops
and the illegal entry and departure of Chinese nationals was stopped. Matteo Salvini,
representing the Lega Nord party, closed Italy's ports to immigrants and systematically
began disassembling the sweatshops and deporting those in Italy illegally. But his rise
to power was short-lived. Italy is a communist country…socialism is in the national
DNA. Ways were found to remove Salvini, after which the communist party, under
the direction of Giuseppe Conte, reopened the ports. Immediately, thousands of
unvetted, undocumented refugees from the Middle East and East Africa began pouring
in again.
Access was again provided to the Chinese, under the old terms, and as a
consequence thousands of Chinese, the majority from Wuhan, began arriving in Milano.
In December of last year, the first inklings of a coronavirus were noticed in Lombardy…
in the Chinese neighborhoods. There is no doubt amongst senior medical officials that
the virus was brought here from China.
By the end of January 2020 cases were being reported left and right. By mid-
February the virus was beginning to seriously overload the Lombardy hospitals and
medical clinics. They are now in a state of collapse.
The Far-Left politicians sold out and betrayed the Italian people with open border
policies and social justice programs. One of the reasons the health care system
collapsed so quickly is because the Renzi government (and now continued under the
Conte government) redirected funds meant to sustain the medical system, to pay for
the tens of thousands of immigrants brought in to Italy against the will of the Italian
people. If you remember the horrible earthquake that decimated the villages around
Amatricia, in the mountains east of Rome in 2015, you would also remember how
the world responded by sending millions of dollars to help those affected.
But there is a law in Italy that prevents private donations to charitable Italian
organizations. All money and donations received must be turned over to a government
agency, who in turn is to appropriate the funds as needed. But that agency is corrupt
just as are all the others. Most of the money never reached a single victim in the
mountains. The Renzi government redirected the vast majority of those funds to pay
for the growing immigrant and refugee costs.
As the economy worsened under the burden of illegal immigration, compounded
by gross government spending and incompetence, unemployment rose quickly…
especially among young people. The unemployment rate for men and women under
age 35 is close to 40%. So more money was diverted from the health care system
and used to pay what is known here as guaranteed income. Whether you work or
not you are paid here, especially if you belong to the PD! The government simply raises
taxes on those who do work.
Let me give you a quick example of the height of insanity to which Italian taxation
has risen. If you live in a building that has a balcony or balconies…and any of those
balconies cast a shadow on the ground, you must pay a public shadow tax! I will say
no more! The point I am trying to make here is that not only did the Chinese bring
the virus to Italy (and the rest of the world) it was far-Left politics and policies that
facilitated it.
This should hopefully be a warning to Americans that while they work to rid
themselves of the China Virus, they should just as vehemently endeavor to rid their
government of any politician that circumvents the Constitution and ignores the laws
of the land…plain and simple.
