The Emergency must not die: the Covid trend is running out but the climatic one is already ready

The emergency never ends. Because it doesn't have to end, listen to our Draghi: “The climate emergency is like Covid ”. Do you need anything else to understand the game? Passing from one state of tension to another, from one shock to another in order to keep citizenship on the edge of psychosis. And those who are psychotic need to be followed, contained, controlled, neutralized. In a word: of the ethical and curative state. Then, no one will notice that the medicine coincides with the disease and even if it were it will be impossible to say.

We have said, written several times that the government's approach, supported by Colle, was a wrong approach bordering on irresponsible, but now we are over, we would say to an exhibited, unscrupulous malice. Twenty months of police state, more and more strict, passed from the paranoia of masks to that of tampons to that of vaccines to that of the Green Pass , this authoritarian blackmail aimed at excluding from civil coexistence, from the possibility of supporting oneself with one's work: enhanced, enlarged up to the internal forum, to the recesses of consciousness.

Since this trend is running out, due to the achievement of the objectives and the acquiescence of the population which – it is demonstrated – you can really do everything, it is time to find another vector of hysteria: that the "climate emergency" is such in the terms propagated by the media and supported by Draghi, who is not a climatologist but a financial technician, is all to be discussed. The catastrophic prophecies have been systematically disregarded, the mathematical models, nothing more than projections of doom, have turned out to be at least stoned, the findings are punctually manipulated and no one remembers the so-called climagate of a few years ago, complete with emails that fluttered among the climate agencies and American government departments: "The forecasts are all blown, we must insist, push for catastrophism, otherwise billions of business go up in smoke". Which is why Trump disbanded as much of these business bandwagon as he could.

Billions of business: the so-called ecological transition is, as the conservative philosopher Legutko writes, a sort of post-Marxist divinity, entrusted to an unschooled and problematic priestess; it is a prophecy that does not self-fulfill, but the European Union says that everything must be electric, solar, wind, without specifying how, where to find the resources for an increasingly energy-hungry world. Pure Evil is called Co2, in a completely senseless way, and to zero Co2, which is like wanting to achieve herd immunity at 120 percent on Covid , the EU imposes impossible costs, which will end up reducing millions to misery that still flounder.

Draghi is in a certain sense right: spurious emergencies have disturbing analogies. As well as home care, alternative drugs to official protocols are systematically boycotted and denied, in the same way alternatives to ecological shit are not considered; collateral damage is denied or minimized; the vestals are lounge virologists on the one hand, operetta climatologists on the other; and in both cases, the contempt, the pillory, the threat to dissidents, as to say who does not drink it. Nobody dares a projection of the costs, compared to the benefits, between now and fifteen or twenty years.

Professor Franco Battaglia tried it a few days ago in La Verità , but it is enough to dismiss him as a right-winger, who in the democratic debate is synonymous with a mass murderer, a cannibal. Nuclear no, not even talking about it: then we buy atomic energy from beyond the Alps; we invoke "more gas" instead of coal and oil, without considering that gas triggers the infamous Co2. Bills skyrocket to the stratosphere, and half the cost is due to the chimera of so-called renewables. To be there, the emergency exists. But from a political rather than a biological source. And the watchword is always that of global post-liberalism: what you can do, do it. To hell with the consequences.

Pandemic emergency, climate emergency: and then? Then we start all over again and there are those who wait, and also with a certain impatience, that somewhere some Strangelove devises other viruses for other pandemics for other business. Power, everywhere and especially in Italy, has discovered hot water: that the best way to lock up itself is widespread fear, social division, hysteria, and having any pretext for ever more ruthless control, always more outside the lines of legal, constitutional guarantee. And if the social conflict escapes us, the low-lying guerrilla warfare, so much the better: it is the right opportunity to lock everyone up without going so much for the subtle, without distinguishing between emergencies. Until further notice, but the new order seems to be already here.
