(Natural News) As the world watched in dismay, the fall of Kabul painted a vivid picture of the crumbling of the United States of America. The US military, hell bent on going “woke” with transgenderism and gays in the military, is utterly unable to protect its own personnel overseas, and has been impotent in protecting the US southern border from a relentless invasion of illegals that are pouring into the country.
The Biden administration is finished. Brain-dead Biden was never anything more than a bobblehead placeholder, and his time in the Oval Office is now coming to a rapid end.
As Biden’s rigged regime is ending, so is the United States of America as a “united” nation. With outrageous levels of fiat currency money printing, the collapse of the rule of law, blatantly rigged elections, government-enforced censorship of conservative views, media-fomented racial animosity, left-wing efforts to defund the police, racist CRT indoctrination in the schools and even a CDC director “doctor” who cannot admit that only women can get pregnant, the once great United States of America has fallen into a pathetic, laughable state of self-mockery and collapse.

The military cannot defend the country, the “President” cannot run the country, the Treasury cannot fund the country and the “science” establishment can’t even bring itself to recommend vitamin D to save the country from a pandemic that was launched by the scientists themselves. The United States government now functions as a terrorist Taliban, waging war against its own people with forced vaccinated, engineered food shortages, massive government looting via money printing, and the designation of anti-lock protesters as terrorists.
There is now no federal government agency that serves any real interest of the public. ATF, DEA, FBI, FDA, CDC, IRS, HHS, DHS and more, they only now exist to enhance their own power by waging war against the very people they claim to represent. The FBI runs the terror plots… the CDC runs the biowarfare attacks… the FDA attacks supplements and CBD… the ATF tries to banish the Second Amendment… the DEA runs the drugs… and HHS, which is supposed to stand for Health and Human Services, has a decidedly anti-human agenda.
Above all, the federal government under imposter Biden now sees the American people as their enemy.
Beyond the incredible corruption that now characterizes the US federal government, the United States of America remains steeped in dark, demonic SIN stemming from mass abortions, infanticide, organ harvesting from babies, the transgender indoctrination and mutilation of children, the rejection of God and the embracing of Lucifer across pop culture, censorship attacks on Christians, rejection of the Church and the embracing of depopulation bioweapons on a national scale, disguised as a public health vaccine program.
When churches embrace transgenderism and push vaccines, those churches are serving Satan, not God, and this is the path that most of the mainstream “Christian” churches have chosen. (They will reap the effects of their own divine betrayal soon enough, it seems.)
God is watching. And while God is patient, his patience has clearly run out. His wrath is now being unleashed against this nation of sin, and even those who are not steeped in sin will be swept into the chaos and destruction that has already begun. This means that praying to God is not enough. You must also be prepared for the collapse of civilization as we know it.
Those who are spiritually prepared will be able to walk with God through the valley of the shadow of death (Psalm 23) and fear no evil, for they are prepared both spiritually and physically. Physical preparedness means having food, emergency supplies, self-defense supplies and readiness for the total collapse of food, electricity, telecommunications and the rule of law. Spiritual preparedness means embracing God and practicing faith in His plan for mass awakening, which requires the oblivious masses to witness the wrath of God before they will once again be humbled and then move to reject their sinful ways.
This cycle has been repeated over and over again through human history, and we are now living in the beginning of the “wrath” phase where God uses forces of nature to “reset” the world. If you thought Claus Schwab’s “great reset” was a big deal, just wait for God’s cosmic reset. Those steeped in sin, arrogance and denial of God’s existence will be cosmically destroyed. Those who took the spike protein injections — a physical manifestation of Lucifer at the nanoparticle level — will experience their own human cells being ripped apart from the inside as they are eaten alive by prion-like, Satan-inspired biological weapons.
As the bioweapons, droughts and natural disasters accelerate, society as we know it will crumble. The rule of law will fall, and the window of the sky will open up, raining down large masses that will only add to the volcanoes and earthquakes taking place on Earth, blotting out the sun and moon, leading to a global famine and food collapse. (See Isaiah 24 and 25, or Revelations, among other passages.) From Isaiah 24:
Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.
The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
America has collapsed into a nation of sin, and that sin will be wiped from the Earth by great divine force. In its place, the survivors who humble themselves before God may rebuild the “new America” in the spirit of the original America, based on Christian principles, logic, reason, sanity and genuine equal rights under the law.
The liars, libtards, pedophiles, child traffickers, bioweapons developers, journo-terrorists, demon worshipers and similar kind will all be biologically destroyed, only to wake up and find their consciousness suffering in eternal Hell where they get to experience the hellish pain of their bodies being feasted upon by demonic creatures, over and over again, until the end of time. The Earth shall then be inherited by those survivors who refused the covid shots and refused to take part in the common sins of our time (abortion, pedophilia, transgenderism, etc.).
Importantly, even those of us who remain with God will bear witness to the “Hell on Earth” that has now begun. We will witness cities full of dead bodies and watch as the spike protein eats the brains of our own former friends and family members who insisted, “I believe in science!” We will have front row seats to the great suffering of our time; the starvation of the unprepared, the mayhem and violence unleashed in lawless blue cities, the generation of orphans whose parents died from the “clot shot,” the disease and death stemming from the collapse of basic human infrastructure.
Know that God needs humanity to witness the cost of turning away from God. When you turn away from the Creator, Mother Nature and the cosmic gifts of consciousness and life, you embrace the Cult of Death. And from that Cult of Death can only come suffering, destruction and self-inflicted demise. This lesson, long forgotten by modern, arrogant, oblivious human beings, is about to be learned yet again at an unimaginable cost. Sadly, modern humanity will never turn to God until they have first experienced the devastating cost of godlessness.
Never forget that the Democrat party is a death cult, and all who follow it are ultimately followers of Satan. Most of them have chosen to poison their own God-given bodies by injecting themselves with a biological weapon. This is an egregious sin of self-destruction and the strongest possible rejection of God, from which there is likely no salvation.

(Natural News) America is now a failed state.
In America, you can call 911 and the police will never show up if your property is in or near a Black Lives Matter terrorist zone, which are now de facto “police no-go zones” on U.S. soil.
In America, there are no functioning markets. Prices of stocks and bonds are set entirely by Federal Reserve money printing and interest rate manipulations. Rational investing has been obliterated. Market-driven price discovery is a distant memory. (This will end badly.)
In America, voting for change doesn’t work. Rioting for change gets you everything you demand. That’s because the politicians ignore the voters but adore the rioters.
In America, there is no equal protection under the law. When a group of violent terrorists seize your city, the “leaders” (the mayor and governor) will order police to evacuate, leaving you to fend for yourself against terrorist rule.
In America, free speech has been annihilated. The left-wing fanatics who run the tech giants now decide which views are “offensive,” and those voices, websites and platforms are all banned while their own radical left-wing propaganda is allowed to flourish.
In America, there is no political leadership whatsoever. The Democrats are traitors and the Republicans are feckless, spineless lose-o-crats who are utterly incapable of asserting even an inkling of leadership or the assertion of the principles they (falsely) claim to represent.
In America, the U.S. government will print money and pay you to not work, then brain dead U.S. Senators (named Mitch McConnell) will wonder why small businesses can’t find workers who want to give up their enormous unemployment benefits and get a job that pays less than what people are collecting from the government. Only in America would the government pay people to avoid working, then panic as the economy craters because the labor pool has disappeared.
In America, the food supply is filled with toxic chemicals that are all approved by corrupt government regulators, poisoning the population and leading to insane health care costs that are bankrupting the nation at every level.
In America, the education system has collapsed into a cult-like communist indoctrination system, where students are taught hatred (against their country), bigotry (against whites) and victimization tactics to deploy during riots and civil unrest. The universities have essentially churned out a generation of terrorists who destroy, not citizens who create.
In America, the entire legislative branch of the country is ruled by a corrupt Big Pharma drug cartel that controls all “science” and tells the medical journals to publish fraudulent, rigged studies that destroy the credibility of safe, low-cost drugs that could help save millions of lives from a global pandemic. In response, U.S. lawmakers bow down before Big Pharma and betray the American people, because the pharma lobby can write million-dollar checks to re-election campaigns.
In America, the FBI kneels before actual terrorists while running its own “staged” terror plots across the country to try to pretend it’s still a law enforcement agency. It isn’t.
In America, treasonous former officials like Hillary Clinton, James Comey and Andrew McCabe go free, even after committing crimes of treason against the nation, while innocent people who did nothing wrong (like Roger Stone) are persecuted and charged with crimes that can earn them life in prison.
In America, violent looters, arsonists and rioters who are arrested for committing such crimes are universally set free by left-learning District Attorneys, because Leftists protect left-leaning terror groups in America. There is no rule of law, and there is no equal justice under the law.
In America, entire police precincts surrender their territory to Antifa / Black Lives Matter terrorists, handing over tactical real estate to left-wing mobs while standing down and allowing violence to explode.
In America, the fanaticism cult of left-wing lunacy is so powerful that we’re told “silence is violence,” while we’re also told that the actual violence of the lunatic Left is “peaceful and tolerant.” In other words, if you are silent and peaceful, you are accused of “violence.” But if you are committing actual violence, you are described as “peaceful” by the media.
In America, the food processing plants are shut down over fears of the coronavirus, but left-wing mobs are openly encouraged to gather in the streets, with the media claiming the pandemic isn’t as important as looting, rioting and committing acts of arson in public. So why is social distancing more important than the national food supply, then?
In America, when you vote for any political leader to represent your interests, the moment they take office, they only represent one of two things: If they’re a Democrat, they represent anarchy and communism; if they’re a Republican, they represent corporate profits and nothing else. YOU are never represented, no matter whom you vote for.
In America, the borders aren’t protected and any illegal alien can vote in an election, no I.D. required. Any idea of protecting the process of democracy has long been abandoned.
In America, the most devastating looters aren’t the Black Lives Matter lunatics in the streets; it’s actually the Federal Reserve that’s printing trillions of dollars in fiat currency, stealing the value of the money you’ve worked to earn and save. Each day, Americans awaken to “silent fiscal looting” that has drained their bank accounts while they slept, and no one riots because it all happens silently, and the media has zero interest in covering it.
In America, when new jurors are appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in the hopes that they will represent the U.S. Constitution, they end up only representing the interests of the state, and nothing else. The idea of “originalist” Supreme Court justices is now a pathetic joke.
In America, if you run an honest online business and build an audience of followers over a decade of effort, you can be destroyed literally overnight by the tech giants who pull your advertising revenue, cancel your channels and de-platform all your content… even if you merely disagreed with the insanity of the cult-like Left.
In America, you can lose your job for not declaring that you support Black Lives Matter. Because “silence is violence,” which means your obedience is demanded… or else. (Remember when the Left used to place “COEXISTENCE” bumper stickers on their cars? Those days are long gone. Now it’s more like, “DESTROY THE DEPLORABLES!”
In America, the masses are too fat, too medicated and too brainwashed by the deceptive media to rise up and defend anything. They instantly surrender to every insane demand by the lunatic Left, and they will gladly surrender all their freedoms and their entire nation for one more box of Pop-Tarts.
America is a failed state.
Because America is a failed state, things are going to start disintegrating at an accelerated rate. We’re all going to start seeing:
As I’ve said before, Trump is the last President of the United States of America as we know it. We are entering a time of tremendous evil and destruction, and almost no one is willing to stand against it. That’s the great failure of America: The failure to defend her.

Roma - Non far pagare alle aziende i contributi dei neo assunti per due anni. È la proposta di Alberto Bombassei, classe 1940, presidente e fondatore della Brembo (2,2 miliardi di fatturato nel settore dei freni per auto e moto, 12 mila dipendenti, 30 stabilimenti in 15 Paesi, 5 centri di ricerca), ex vice presidente di Confindustria, ex parlamentare. «Avremmo due vantaggi — spiega l’imprenditore — : far crescere le aziende e rilanciare l’occupazione dopo aver perso quasi un milione di posti di lavoro per colpa della pandemia».
Dunque, lei è favorevole al “rischio calcolato” che si è
preso il governo Draghi di riaprire gradualmente quasi tutte le attività
nonostante i segnali che arrivano dal fronte sanitario non siano tutti
positivi? Era una richiesta anche del mondo industriale?
«La considero una scelta saggia, coerente con l’approccio e il modo di
ragionare del presidente Draghi. Purtroppo mi sembra che, invece, alcuni
esponenti politici anche della maggioranza siano più interessati ai
sondaggi quasi quotidiani sulle intenzioni di voto, che alla seria e
duratura ripartenza del nostro Paese. E a questo proposito riaprire con
prudenza non significa che abbiamo superato il tema virus. Quanto accade
vicino a noi, dalla Germania alla Francia, ci deve ricordare che siamo
ancora impegnati in un percorso rischioso almeno fino all’estate. Nello
stesso tempo non possiamo non considerare il fatto che ci sono categorie
in estrema e drammatica difficoltà, che non sanno più come campare».
Riaprire i servizi che più hanno pagato la pandemia può aiutare anche il sistema manifatturiero?
«Assolutamente sì, qualsiasi decisione che rimette in azione l’economia
con la circolazione di denaro non può che aiutare il sistema produttivo.
Nello stesso tempo va detto che la manifattura in senso stretto ha
continuato a lavorare lungo tutto questo anno. Per noi della Brembo, per
esempio, l’effetto del virus è stato molto limitato».
Niente cassa integrazione?
«Quasi per nulla, un po’ solo all’inizio della pandemia. Quest’anno stiamo lavorando a pieno ritmo».
Il premier Draghi ha indicato nella crescita del Pil lo
strumento per ripagare l’enorme debito pubblico che stiamo accumulando
per fronteggiare l’emergenza economica. Condivide questa strategia?
Pensa che l’Italia sia in grado di aumentare il suo tasso di crescita e
non essere più la maglia nera in Europa?
«Ritengo che sia una strategia di puro buon senso, ricordiamoci che
prima del Covid il nostro debito pubblico viaggiava già intorno al 140
per cento rispetto al Pil. Il modo più sano, e anche l’unico per
ridimensionare il debito nel breve-medio periodo e renderlo sostenibile è
quello di aumentare il denominatore, ovvero proprio il Pil nazionale.
Questa è la medicina che dobbiamo prendere. E crescere vuol dire anche
cambiare l’approccio degli industriali».
È un’autocritica, essendo lei un industriale. Quale?
«L’Italia ha un numero di piccole, piccolissime aziende troppo alto
rispetto ai suoi competitor. La pandemia sta accelerando i processi di
trasformazione dei modelli produttivi e per le imprese di così piccole
dimensioni non ci sarà più spazio nei mercati globali. Sono necessarie
aggregazioni».
Vecchia questione, ma non di facile soluzione perché ogni
piccolo industriale è geloso della propria azienda. Cosa può fare il
governo?
«Incentivare la crescita dimensionale. Si può fare in tanti modi, certo non ci manca la fantasia».
Ne dica uno.
«Penso al lavoro. Abbiamo perso quasi un milione di posti di lavoro
nell’ultimo anno e il tasso di occupazione nell’Italia pre-Covid era
comunque uno dei più bassi d’Europa. Ecco, penso che l’azzeramento per
due o più anni dei contributi a carico delle imprese per le nuove
assunzioni di lavoratori potrebbe aiutare da una parte la crescita delle
imprese, e dall’altra mitigare la crisi occupazionale. Per questo una
strada di questo tipo potrebbe essere condivisa anche dal sindacato che,
nonostante tutto, continua ad avere giustamente un suo ruolo».
La grande sfida è quella del Recovery Plan. Il governo ha
confermato che lo presenterà a Bruxelles il 30 aprile. Di cosa avrebbe
bisogno l’industria?
«Di piani seri per realizzare le infrastrutture fisiche e immateriali su
cui siamo in fortissimo ritardo; di certezza del diritto in tema di
attività di impresa sia nel campo civile sia in quella penale. Ma
soprattutto di una pubblica amministrazione efficiente, moderna e
digitalizzata. Dobbiamo dirlo con forza, ora o mai più: il mondo non
aspetta le nostre leggi astruse e le nostre lungaggini. Le faccio un
esempio. Per produrre i dischi dei freni si utilizza anche il manganese
che si importa dall’Africa e pure a caro prezzo. Il manganese però di
trova in tutte le batterie che utilizziamo, comprese quelle degli
smartphone. Abbiamo proposto, in una logica di economia circolare,
proprio come suggerisce l’Europa, di estrarre il manganese dalle vecchie
batterie. Siamo pronti, i giovani scienziati della Brembo hanno
preparato tutto, ma da quasi due anni combattiamo per avere i permessi
contro una burocrazia cieca a tutti i livelli. Ecco, così non si può più
andare avanti. Il Recovery Plan deve essere l’occasione per voltare
pagina»

Italian politics often produces strange bedfellows. It is the case with Silvio Berlusconi and Matteo Salvini: the former is an elderly billionaire former prime minister who calls himself a moderate pro-EU and pro-America liberal.
The latter is the leader of a far-right party that until a few months ago fiercely criticised the European Union. They were allies at the 2018 elections, then Salvini formed a government with the populist Five Star Movement (M5S) -which spoiled the relationship between him and the former prime minister.
But a couple of weeks ago, Salvini started calling for a federation between his League and Berlusconi's Forward Italy [Forza Italia] which continues to lose deputies and senators in the Italian parliament.
For his part, Berlusconi has even proposed a merger between the League and Forward Italy. This is typical of Italian politics: when your party is weak, you try to lean on a strong one (like Salvini's League, which the latest voting intention figures see close to 21 percent, while Forward Italy is below seven percent).
Forward Italy's problem is that Berlusconi is now 84-years old and has the aches and pains of age; many of its MPs no longer seem to have much faith in the party's future.
Also, according to the Italian media, the Berlusconi family, one of Italy's leading entrepreneurial dynasties, would rather focus on business and stop wasting time on politics.
Many Forward Italy Italia MPs did not like Salvini's proposal. Just as many in the League did not appreciate Berlusconi's idea of a single party. "Is Salvini looking for a wife or a mistress?" asks one Forward Italy MP (who does not her name disclosed because she is not allowed to talk about the matter to the media).
"If he wants a wife, then he should build a common house with us, the Italian People's party. It would be the equivalent of Germany's CDU and Spain's PP. In all modern European right-wing forces, the liberal and moderate element coexists with the more nationalist one. A simple federation with the League is pointless".
In any case, Salvini and Berlusconi need each other.
The former is fully aware that he cannot become Italy's next prime minister without the moderate voters, and that he should not alienate Italy's most important media empire.
Berlusconi knows that he needs an heir, and that Forward Italy is on the verge of collapse. "I think Forward Italy has completed its cycle. For better or worse it belongs to recent history but I hardly see it in the future of Italian politics," says Marco Follini, former centrist deputy prime minister.
According to Follini, "Salvini is looking for a positioning that will make it less incoherent for him to find himself in a broad coalition government led by Draghi, which goes as far as the Partito Democratico and the M5S [left]".
And again, Salvini fears competition from Giorgia Meloni, the 'Iron Lady' of the Italian ultra-conservative right, who is also close to 21 percent in polls. "Meloni is stealing some of Salvini's old buzzwords, so it is normal that he chooses a more centrist line than the one he has accustomed us to in the past".
Still, Follini struggles to consider Salvini a centrist. "He is not, and I don't think he wants to be. But he has adjusted some of the more extreme and exaggerated positions of previous years."
For a year now, the Italian media have been reporting that Berlusconi is allegedly helping Giancarlo Giorgetti, Salvini's right-hand man, to steer the League towards the European People's Party.
In the opinion of Marcello Pera, former president of the Italian senate and influential philosopher, "Salvini's League has absorbed a lot of Forward Italy's votes. So I think it is appropriate and necessary for the League to collect not only votes, but also the political heritage of Forward Italy, especially its pièce de résistance linked to liberalism. That's why I think that, if it's done well, a federation between Forward Italy and League could lead to a centre-right party with strong liberal elements".
Gianfranco Pasquino, one of Italy's most respected political scientists and professor of political science at Johns Hopkins University SAIS Europe in Bologna, is not entirely sure of Salvini's bona fide.
"I think his proposal of a federation with Berlusconi's Forward Italy is a mistake, but it is a mistake that keeps him on the front pages of the newspapers, in the political debate. Since he doesn't have much to say, he has gained a lot of media attention with this idea. In practice he is getting publicity. Right now, his goal is to stay alive".
For Pasquino, however, Berlusconi really believes in the project of a party that unites the League and Forward Italy.
"He wants to show that he is still the real centre-right leader. It's the swansong of a tired man, who is visibly old but thinks somehow he can still have a grip on Italian politics."
And while Berlusconi and Salvini discuss unions and federations, between leaps and bounds, pragmatic Meloni continues to rise in the polls and her autobiographical book is turning into a bestseller.

Rome, Italy, 12/8/2018 © Giuseppe Barletta / Shutterstock
According to polling from July, the Italian far right — or the destra sovranista (sovereign right), as it prefers to be labeled — would account for at least 40% of electoral preferences. The broader center-right coalition would attract around 48%, with Matteo Salvini’s League taking 20,5%, Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy (FdI) 20,1 % and Forza Italia 7,6%.
A scenario where two far-right parties with similar levels of popular support, many overlapping features and comparable political programs are contending to win most votes represents a unique case in Europe and, perhaps, at the global level. In addition, the situation is further complicated by the fact that the League supports the current government led by Prime Minister Mario Draghi while the Brothers of Italy is the only opposition party. In light of the center-right coalition’s leadership contest and the general election that is scheduled to take place in early 2023, which factors may ultimately give either party the upper hand?
When it comes to the neck-and-neck race for the center-right leadership between Meloni and Salvini, four factors will influence the dynamics of the competition. Former prime minister and founder of Forza Italia Silvio Berlusconi has recently floated the idea of a “partito unico,” a single party that would unite all the members of the center-right coalition. However, the proposal has left Giorgia Meloni indifferent, while Matteo Salvini seems more cautious, leaving a door open for the possibility of a “federation” of the Italian center right.
The possibility of a federation between the League and Forza Italia could help Salvini retain the de facto leadership of the coalition and eventually contest the premiership from its platform. The Brothers of Italy may also benefit from an exodus of frustrated politicians and MPs from Forza Italia willing to join Meloni’s party.
A second element that could heavily influence the leadership race and the 2023 election is the possible dissolution of the Five Star Movement (M5S). M5S is currently undergoing a deep leadership crisis as a result of disagreements between the movement’s founder Beppe Grillo and former Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. It is plausible that in case of splintering of the Five Star Movement and the creation of Conte’s own party, at least a part of M5S supports may opt to move to factions belonging to the center-right coalition.
Another important factor comes in the guise of CasaPound, one of the Italian extreme right’s most active movements. The group did not miss the chance to portray the much discussed taking the knee by the Italian team at the recent European Football Championships as a disgrace, vandalizing street art murals inviting Italian players to join the Black Lives Matter movement into a fascist “Resta in piedi Italia!” — “Stay up, Italy!” — with the image of an Italian football player from the 1930s doing in the Roman salute.
In fact, the League and the Brothers of Italy, which are both mainstream parties supported by millions of Italian citizens, attract a complex galaxy of political and social movements belonging to the extreme right and espousing clear neo-fascist ideology. These actors aren’t represented in the Italian parliament and mostly function in the dark, Forza Nuova and CasaPound among them. The “sovereign right,” while undoubtedly interested in the more moderate votes, is at the same time trying to affirm its strong sympathies for extreme-right movements in order to keep, or eventually gain, the votes of members of these fascist and neo-fascist organizations.
Lastly, a key factor will be the success of the national recovery strategy. In fact, with the decision to support Draghi’s executive last February, Salvini has undoubtedly opted to tie the League’s electoral support to the success of Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). The PNRR is set at €222 billion ($263 billion) and is based mostly on the NextGenerationEU (a joint recovery plan worth €750 billion) with the addition of an extra budget deficit — €30 billion from a budgetary fiscal deviation defined by Draghi as “good debt.”
On the contrary, the Brothers of Italy, by refusing to support the current government, is betting against the success of the PNRR and on the inability of the Draghi cabinet to efficiently handle both the continuing COVID-19 crisis and post-pandemic recovery. If the PNRR fails, FdI will inevitably deploy its arsenal of political rhetoric and narratives against the Draghi executive and the parties supporting it, including the League.
The competition for what used to be a moderate center-right coalition under Silvio Berlusconi’s leadership but now increasingly resembles a fully-fledged radical-right faction will have a crucial impact on Italian politics tout court for years to come. The League and the Brothers of Italy will undoubtedly keep moving on the same far-right platform and within the same coalition, aware that breaking it up will not be a smart decision.
Within those boundaries, however, strong competition is already taking place. On one side is the chameleon-like opportunism of Matteo Salvini, with his League party strongly rooted in the north and the northeast of Italy. On the other, Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers is collecting dividends from the years in opposition and the refusal of any political compromise.

In the post-truth era of fake news, echo chambers and filter bubbles, we publish a plurality of perspectives from around the world. Anyone can publish with us, but everyone goes through a rigorous editorial process. So, you get fact-checked, well-reasoned content instead of noise.
