Berlusconi junior named as Media boss.

category international | arts and media | news report author Tuesday October 04, 2005 22:41author by iosaf Report this post to the editors

the death of Aldo Bonomo on the first of September left a vacancy at the top of the italian holding company "fininvest" which controls television, radio, books, magazines, movies, Internet, directory enquiries, football club AC Milan and a stake in asset manager Mediolanum.

or in other words a very large share of Italian media and entertainment which boasts the largest independent TV and radio station in the state.

For as long as anyone cares to remember Silvio Berlusconi, the fact that the politician controls the tv has not gone without serious and founded allegations of business practise which undermines Italian democracy and conflicts with duties and jobs of being prime minister.

Berlusconi has constantly abused his access to his own media empire to make propositions and statements outside of parliament which colour or in some cases stop debate in the legislature.

Mr Berlusconi unlike the corrupt who make up the Irish ruling class, has no difficulty seeing his feet.

The man is "metrosexual" in the extreme, a quick look at his "before and after" plastic surgery shots will confirm that.

His daughter of 39 years of age, is thus as we'd expect a well cared for lass, had has it seems been groomed for this position for some time.

Old man mr Bonomo died just in time. Marina Berlusconi will be joined on the board of directors of by Piersilvio Berlusconi 36 years old, and thier step-sister Barbara, who at 20 is the youngest of the dynasty and a product of Mr B's second marriage.

Mr B. has naturally said that these appointments prove that his company and his job and the state are seperate. The kids have grown up now and live away from home.

We've had clearstream in France follow quick on the Didier Julia allegations, 2 French scandals which just didn't seem to open properly - or a bit like the Bush regime demanded you understand what was happening before the internet or colour TV. How could the ambrosian bank still be getting its holy and good name on the same page as "missing 1.4 trillion $".
yes you read it. Read it again. one point four trillion. You don't get that in Ireland. This is a completely different league. These are the people who start wars not for oil, just to distract attention from something else. I don't know what. do you? OH many have tried to investigate before. The Italian courts have asked the Swiss banks no less than 18 times for data on Berlusconi corruption, laundering, mafia, let's be short "CRIME" cases. In the mean time he's had plastic surgery - got into the top 40 billionaires without a state alive. He's now number 37 and worth 11 billion$.
The Swiss authorities froze in 2005 accounts holding more than SFr150 million Swiss francs ($120 million). So as you can see he's on his uppers & being the sort of individual the meritocracy call "a leader of both business and nation" he's got tower-blocks filled with lawyers making sure each page of the estimated half million so far presented since the current process began lat November.
Oh yep - some people wonder will the kids go down for money laundering or embezzlement. I wonder where "down" is that such people go. Oh yes many people have wondered before & asked the questions - about the Berlusconi years.
If the West had only seen one state fall apart at the seams of constitutionalism and simple plain manners it mightn't have seemed like "the end". But when several other states went completely haywire at the same time including the USA you wonder about asking questions - - "you own a TV station? you're a billionaire? you own the newspapers? you own the football? you own the James Bond biuunker in Sardinia? isn't that enough for you? why do you want a shitty low paid job like Italian PM? Why is the statute of limitation used to stop every banking scandal in Italy? & why haven't the ambrosian bank learnt - forgiveable to be God's banker- and lose squillions, but then go be the French secret service banker and "lose more"??? And what was it with financial scandals on one page, faked evidence for an illegal war on another page - and then the secret services who since the kgb, gestapo, stassi etc have always seemed to be "into the job" with a bit of a "vocation" and ideological slant - well now they're all corrupt and manipulating your history and let's be bloody honest letting kids die - not for "idealogy" or "patriotism" but just for "an unaccounted squillion and a room on the moon base..
Imagine that ! Rogue gestapos ! Moon Bases ! where will it all end I ask you about these "askers".

Well, that type of person gets themselves in trouble - all either in court or dead - all together now
a lot of people have gone under the bridge since then.
stick a feather in your hat and call it macaroni.
a lot of people are going to go under that bridge.

There is obviously more to this story but it is not in the public interest. So I'm going to tell you all a secret. There is a hidden war between trained adepts and the corrupt bastards. Only the other night volunteers took out the lunar base of these people. I repeat the lunar bases are neutralised. And check this out - you all saw it .:. I am pleased to further inform you that the lunar action was a revenge decision for the Italian state's (sorry Mafia state's) dismantling of indymedia italy.
We will now be concentrating on their terrestial bases. It's not funny. Either this stops now - or the democrats will get the White House, Congress & Senate & just find they like how it was left them.

It didn't just happen yesterday or in 2002. It began when Nixon teamed up with Eisenhower. That's half a century ago of slow erosion of legality - closing stable doors after the horses are through the nkackers yard and reconstituted Pritt sticks. So - no I don't feel any shame or moral qualm of being the conduit who tells you about our brave action on the moonbase. And the great thing is - no-on heard them scream.
