Why is Grillo’s blog attacking Biden’s America and praising Xi’s China?
The theses of Beppe Grillo's blog commented by Gianfranco Polillo
The same day in which Walter Biot , an officer of the Navy, was arrested on the infamous accusation of treason, for having passed military secrets to the Russians, Beppe Grillo published a very long article by Fabio Massimo Parenti on his blog. Title: “A disastrous McCarthyism. Have the US and the EU lost their reason? ". An intervention entirely projected in defense of Russia and China and completely hostile towards the new American administration and those in Europe who would like to support its plan. That sort of new containment, which follows the doctrine developed by Washington at the end of the 1950s, to avoid possible domino effects, due to the advance of communist troops, especially on the periphery of their empire. The formula adopted by Grillo (History always repeats itself twice: the first as a tragedy, the second as a farce. (Karl Marx)) sounds further confirmation.
Impossible, at least for us, to understand the logic that guided the choice of the Elevato. An oversight? A vulgar provocation? The hand reaching out to the empire of evil? The search for a foreign shore for unspeakable ends? A clarification would be indispensable, which should be given, in order, by Grillo himself, then by Giuseppe Conte, the next head of the movement. Then by Luigi Di Maio, first of all, as foreign minister (it is not enough to have summoned the Russian ambassador) and then as past political leader of that same movement. And finally by Enrico Letta, so quick in highlighting the alleged or real weaknesses of Matteo Salvini, still classified as a sovereignist, but strangely silent in the face of a lunge, like the one that appears on the blog of the father-master of his main allies.
But what were the arguments used by the author? Especially who is he? A very respectable curriculum. Foreign Associate Professor of International Political Economy at China Foreign Affairs University, Beijing. In Italy he teaches at the Lorenzo de 'Medici International Institute in Florence, after having served in other foreign universities. A sinologist, then. As there have been many in Italy, during the time of Mao Tze Tung's presidency. Intellectuals lent to the cause, ready to proselytize among the most fragile young people from a political and cultural point of view. Sometimes destined to consume their existence in the hell of terrorism.
The text published by Grillo contains some inaccuracies and many atrocities. Starting from the title: the reference to McCarthyism is completely inappropriate. That in the USA in the 1950s it was a witch hunt, conducted against American citizens, accused of being Communists or pro-Communists. The opposition to the socialist bloc (URRS, China and their allies) was much tougher, up to the open war, in an attempt to determine the roll back that had been in the hope of the Administration, since the time of Dwight Eisenhower.
The main accusations, in the blog, are directed against the Biden-Blinken duo, for their claim to be the bearers of "value supremacy" which, according to the author, "endangers humanity". A claim based on the "mantra on the violation of" human rights ", which, as everyone knows, is nothing more than a hoax of the CIA, which continuously manipulates information. Indeed, to be more precise, information conveyed by “NGO reports based on unverifiable information and speculations”. And then we have to ask ourselves, our always adds, but from which pulpit does the sermon come? Based on information from the Chinese Council of State (sic!), The American reality, amidst racism, police violence and massacres of innocent people, is the country least entitled to express judgments.
Given these premises, the conclusions are consistent, to the cry "we do not need a new cold war". Let Europe wake up and do everything to dissuade the American administration. Or at least they dissociated themselves from any warrior attitude. In particular, the North Stream 2 gas pipeline, which will bring Russian gas to Germany, labeled a “bad idea” by Biden himself, will have to be completed. And Italy will have to insist on staying in the BRI (Belt and Road Initiative), the famous Silk Road. If anything, selling some valuable part of its national territory, to ensure further outlets for Chinese production. In order to contribute to extending its influence in the international field.
But where the author, accomplice Grillo, reaches peaks of absolute lyricism is on vaccines. Obviously, no mention of the origin of the pandemic, nor of the delays (but is it just that?) With which the alarm was raised, much less the WHO findings, on the difficulties encountered by Western technicians visiting the places where it all started. On the contrary, China is vaccinating “without haste because the epidemic is under control (thanks to one of the most advanced diagnosis and tracking systems). Meanwhile, the same country is producing and distributing vaccine doses to more than 70 countries, mostly developing and least developed, through a combination of donations, standard contracts, support loans, etc., while also providing the license to reproduce the vaccines. own vaccines, according to the principle of the “common good” vaccine and international solidarity ”.
And, instead, on the other side of the Atlantic, "we have a country, the United States, which is vaccinating only its own population, blocking exports and the liberalization of licenses at the WTO, also here with the support of the EU. So: no solidarity, no international cooperation, no global action just when it is most needed ”. In short, believing that it will be enough, it is the world upside down. China and Russia, as a model to imitate. The United States, a horrible ally, and Europe, the sleeping beauty that has so far mistakenly preferred the West.
When Grillo decided to publish these rants on his blog, perhaps, he had a headache. How all this is compatible with the future alliance with the Democratic Party, both – Grillo himself and Enrico Letta – should explain it to their militants. As far as we are concerned, however, all this does not surprise us. In many ways we are witnessing a return to origins. That desire to open Parliament like a can of tuna, only to end up in the clutches of the latest communist nomenclature.
