News of Giorgia Meloni’s election as the first female Prime Minister of Italy has the left-wing press losing its veritable collective mind.
All we see is “Fascism!! Fascism!!” and “Mussolini returns!!”
Apparently, they exhausted themselves by saying Trump was “literally Hitler” and have now found a newly unoriginal insult. One could only hope that the Left could at least be original. If they are going to continue to try and destroy Western Civilization, at least they could try and do something original.
In any case, Meloni is somewhat of a darling of the Right in Europe. Now, she is not perfect (none of us are), and I am sure that there are things she will fail to do if given the chance. I am not sure if there has ever been a politician in history that has not let down supporters in some way.
Whatever may be said about Meloni, she is not a leftist, and she is not a friend of the globalist elites.
Presently, the EU and other bureaucratic organizations are clutching their pearls because this Italian firebrand dares to assert that Christian Europe was good and ought to be reclaimed.
A video is circulating that has already received tens of millions of views. It is a snippet of a talk she gave in 2019 to the World Congress of Families.
In her speech, she stated: “Why is the family an enemy? Why is the family so frightening?… Because everything that defines us is now an enemy… And so they attack national identity, they attack religious identity, they attack gender identity, they attack family identity…”
“I cannot define myself as Italian, Christian, woman, mother. No!” she added.
“I must be…gender x, parent 1…I must be a number…”
“We will defend God, country, and family,” she said. “Those things that disgust people so much. We will do it to defend our freedom because we will never be slaves…”
Strong words, to say the least.
Now, is this just another Trump—or in this case Trumpette—wanna be? Or might she be the real deal?
Personally, given that I lived in Italy as a youngster and speak the language fluently, I believe that Italy is, at root, a traditional nation. It is far from Christendom at this point, but it is the heart of the Old Roman Empire, and as Belloc said: “Europe is the Faith and the Faith is Europe.”
Do not confuse my meaning to say that she will be remembered as Queen St. Giorgia the Great, but I will also not write her off or allow myself to believe that she is just another globalist psyop. If you know anything about Italian politics, you know that Italians are passionate and vocal with their political opinions. And, for those who think the system is “rigged,” I would ask them to try and explain in anything less than a thousand-page book how the Italian electoral system works.
The fact is, no one really knows; thus, no one could really know how to rig it.
Now, think back to 2020. It was Italy that the world was told was the first country other than China to be ravaged by Covid. Debates about the virus notwithstanding, it really was Italy that set the pace for the advent of Covid totalitarianism on the world.
Everyone was saying, “Look at Italy, we don’t want to become like them!”
Well, our leaders took that as a sign and embraced the madness.
Italy, being run by Conte and then Draghi (Draghi was a former European bank chief, yikes) was then looked at by the world as something like “patient zero” in the West. The leftist prime ministers of Italy used this as an opportunity to do what leftists do: they grasped as much control over the lives of people as they could.
