Beppe Grillo and M5S, the traitors of Italy – Part 1

With the approach of the elections, the blows of the sponge and the political whitening of the old and new scams by the same parties and candidates multiply. The main activity of these has become the erasing of the traces that connect them to the jars emptied from the jam.
Only in this way have Italian politicians managed to accumulate mandates after mandates and to anchor themselves in the chair.
The series of articles that economiaspiegatafacile.it dedicates to the traitors of Italy has the precise objective of constituting an archive, rich in sources and documents, which brings to mind every nefariousness.

Today this series is enriched with a new chapter: Beppe Grillo and the Cinquestelle gang.

Beppe Grillo and the 5 Star Movement the whole story of the great scam

When Beppe Grillo breaks into the Italian political scene, not as a comedian but as a loose cannon in the party system, what looks like a revolution begins.

It is July 12, 2009 when Beppe Grillo announces his intention to enter politics with a movement at the head of which he places himself as a guarantor and not as a candidate.

Guarantor of what? Guarantor of a "non-statute" that represents the demands of the people betrayed by the traditional parties. Having a "non-statute" is equivalent to being a "non-party", that is, to be different from the traitors of the country.

BEPPE GRILLO IN POLITICS, HERE'S HOW IT ALL BEGAN

These are the years in which Grillo conducts his campaign against the sale of Telecom. From the same year he will participate in the shareholders' meetings after having collected, through his appeal on the blog, beppegrillo.it, the proxies of thousands of very small shareholders who did not count for anything in corporate decisions.

At the beginning he was provocatively a candidate for the secretariat of the PD with the aim of bringing back one of the major Italian parties to deal with politics and no longer with banks, business and "messes" with Berlusconi with whom the Democratic Party had woven a agreement based on conflict of interest.

It is an epochal event that arouses the hilarity of many who consider it a simple goliardic provocation: joining the PD to become its political leader to force the party to make real opposition to Berlusconi.

The historical context in which the Beppe Grillo movement was born

We must remember in what context the facts unfold.
We are at the apex of the mess between Berlusconi and the PD which determines an alternation of one and the other force in the government of Italy, without changing anything.
This is the legacy left to us by the false revolution of Tangentopoli ( VIDEO ).

It is so evident that the political forces in the field do not want to harm each other that it becomes clear even in public hearings in Parliament.

Just think of the Berlusconi conflict of interest. Berlusconi is at the same time head of government in alternating phases, even though he owns three television networks and innumerable properties that undermine his impartiality in the political-legislative sphere.

A gigantic problem (in words) according to the theoretical opposition and especially for investigative journalists like Marco Travaglio and the ranks of Il Fatto Quotidiano , founded in those years (2009) to denounce the close relationship between PD and Berlusconi.

Travaglio is already a collaborator of Beppe Grillo's blog with his Passaparola column, in which he denounces the misdeeds of the Knight and the Democratic Party.
Here a conspicuous roundup of his interventions .

The main theme is honesty; a constant theme in recent years. As this recent exchange between Travaglio and Renzi demonstrates, according to the Grillino people and its leaders, honesty must be sought down to the smallest things like lies:

The birth of a new newspaper gives us the measure of how there is such a ferment against the political status quo, as to also determine the attempt to move the discussion and public opinion even in the press, on these topics.

Il Fatto Quotidiano will in fact become the main media sponsor and authentic sounding board of the new Beppe Grillo movement – as it is easy to guess right away – since up to that moment the nascent project of Beppe Grillo – born on the net – had been able to leverages only on the blog beppegrillo.it and subsequently on the La Cosa channel or on the support of independent channels on YouTube such as that of Salvo Mandarà and Claudio Messora .

We can therefore safely say that the entry of Beppe Grillo on the political scene determines the birth of a pole of honesty .

Why is Beppe Grillo not running directly in politics?

The reason for Beppe Grillo's non-candidacy in the political elections lies in the founding principle of his movement: only honest citizens with a clean criminal record must enter politics.
They would not be called Honors, but Spokesmen of the citizens. Why yes: all politicians are none other than our employees.

---

Having been convicted of multiple manslaughter , a fact on which we do not intend to speculate as it has become customary to do, Grillo cannot in fact engage in politics as elected.

For this reason he will remain the guarantor of the non-statute of the movement. What will change, as we will see in this article, are the rules and above all their application. All under the watchful eye of the guarantor who will not fail to put a lot of his own to divert the path …

Grillo has already paid his debt to justice and will certainly continue to do so with his own conscience. However, from his personal story we cite a detail that will constantly remain afloat, like a grease stain, the continuous practice of self-absolution of his, indeed of his, movements and of the individual exponents who will compose him in the future.

Meetups of Beppe Grillo's friends

After the repeated calls to participate – to get up from the couch and react, networking all the best skills, with the aim of creating a bottom-up force capable of countering the political, economic, environmental and social decline of Italy – around the Grillo's idea gradually began to increase the interest of professionals from the most disparate sectors of civil life. All ordinary citizens who want to put together their forces at the disposal of change all the skills that Italy needs.

Experts in science, culture, economics, technology and alternative information arrive who, attracted by the Genoese comedian, become part of the schedule of both Beppe Grillo's site and even his shows, as in the case of Professor Montanari , microbiologist and of other experts, such as lawyers, accountants, etc.

Grillo's aim is to increase the credibility of his project through the unmasking of fiscal, media, scientific scams, etc. using experts and respectable people as opposed to the lobbies of power widespread in any sector of Italian social, political, financial and economic life.

To demonstrate that he has no personal interests, but only the utopia of freeing Italy from Masonic and lobbying powers, Beppe Grillo summons ordinary citizens, but above all intelligence in the various social and economic sectors of the country, fishing among ordinary people, without a past in politics.
His idea is to create a movement from below that knows how to reward the merit of those who have quality and are committed daily to the social and economic life of Italy, promising to bring, one day, the best intelligences selected online on the basis of specific skills and merits demonstrated and to carry out concrete projects that can improve the life of the community and cleanse the Italian Parliament from corruption and the management of power for personal purposes.

To do all this Grillo identifies 5 specific fields in which the intelligences put on the net will have to produce the program of the Italy of the future:

1. public water,
2. renewable energies,
3. sustainable transport,
4. sustainable (economic) development,
5. connectivity.

They will be the future 5 stars that will stand out in the name and logo of the next movement …
To ensure that the organization can take place from below, Grillo makes its knowledge of the means of communication available to users who can meet online. The suggested platform is Meetup.com .

It is July 16, 2005 when Grillo launches the first Meetup.

The topics covered in the Meetups basically follow the topics launched during the comedian's shows.

To start managing the confluence of ideas in the network, Grillo decides to rely on the Meetup platform which serves to connect activists online and to materialize work groups for each area, scattered throughout the country.

The propaganda of the 5 stars between cabaret and pop culture of the Eighties

The first rules provide that the movement does not have a leader and that even in individual Meetups the management of groups is based on the rotation of offices, so that no one has the time to individually accumulate and exercise power at any level, but that they are the people collectively to organize themselves into a new form of democracy based on the model of grassroots democracy.

Thus were born the Friends of Beppe Grillo , the Meetup network officially recognized by the Genoese comedian. The aim is not to create a political party, but a moralizing and opinion movement spread throughout the national territory with the aim of influencing the political choices of the parties from below – starting from the local level – with operations like Fiato sul collo . , or control activities on politicians so that they carry out the real requests of the people crystallized in the proposals of the Meetups.

---

But in the Meetups, in fact, what is discussed are exclusively the topics covered by Grillo on his blog.

For example, I remember the internal campaign of the Amici di Beppe Grillo on the idea that politicians should not be voted, but drawn by lot.

Another idea that Grillo took for a walk around Italy was that citizens should have the right to find the option "none of the above" on the ballot paper (which in fact today is exercised with abstention or by presenting themselves at the polling station). and rejecting ballot papers.
It was one of many propaganda ideas that were easy to take on the basis, copying from films and jokes from other comedians.
Grillo and the authors of his shows – which in the meantime has seen replicas multiply throughout Italy – will be able to draw on the pop culture of the 80s and on the principles of early twentieth century propaganda, to compose the communication puzzle at the basis of Grillo's first performances. and then of political propaganda.

Here is an example that perhaps some of the earliest activists will remember.
In the film Who spends more … more earns of 1985, we find many of the strong points of Grillina propaganda: heavy language, populism, trivialization of politics, identification of the common enemy (all politicians), indifference.
And, last but not least, that politics can be done without money . A concept behind the cancellation of public funding for parties.
To demonstrate this, the Movement will renounce electoral reimbursements because as the grillini like to reiterate, we do not need politicians but honest citizens in the institutions …

---

In reality, the M5S during its construction knew how to finance itself at the expense of the same activists who will self-tax to support their political mission. This zero-cost policy is yet another promise that will be betrayed.

Anything that is not covered or decided by Grillo in Meetups is taboo.

To return to internal censorship, when Grillo says not to talk about money, because “it is a complex issue that scares people” , in the Meetups it will be forbidden to talk about money. Yet until the show that went on tour up to six months earlier it was he who talked about it , they pass off the hoax of banking seigniorage as real; but in the meantime he was rightly talking about central banks, which is already something

The theme of banks was also at the center of some of his performances since the 1970s. Then he will come back to it in 2012 during the election campaign. In short, an enthusiast. Except when activists dealt with it.
We write it as eyewitnesses and as protagonists of proposals on the dissemination of knowledge on monetary issues systematically blocked "because Grillo had decided so"

Other examples of where Beppe Grillo and Casaleggio & Associati will draw the form of their movement are evidently found in the Everyman's Front , an Italian idea of ​​the twentieth century, and in Goebbels' 11 points of Nazi propaganda, also explained in the book on economics. explained easy .
Even today, these 11 rules are the basis of both political and advertising propaganda in the marketing sector. Marketing of which Casaleggio & Associati, the financial, communicative and strategic structure that supports the Grillo movement, makes abundant use and above all experimentation.
