Marco Travaglio, an italian journalist, talks about the so-called "Clean Lists" for the (back then) upcoming elections. "Clean" is meant as in "without any convicted persons". You wouldn't even conceive this kind of talk in democracies like the United States or England! This show could be cancelled now that Berlusconi is back to power! The anchor, Michele Santoro, has already been fired once from RAI during Berlusconi's government 2001-2006. In the 2007 Freedom of the Press Report by the Freedom House Italy has ranked 61th, after Nauru and South Africa. During Berlusconi's regime it reached number 79 with Botswana, after Bulgaria and Mongolia, and was classified as a "Partly free country". But then again, whoever opposes him is catalogued as "leftist", when Berlusconi describes himself as "the most liberal politician in history". You can find pretty much all the information about politicians he speaks about in Wikipedia. I am no professional translater but I tried to do my best. (more)

George Soros explains why his fund bought 2 billion dollars of MF Global Italian bonds - and why he would buy even more. The secret sauce: Deflation. That, Soros tells Chrystia Freeland, will give Italian bonds a fantastic yield, even though it shows that financial markets aren't functioning properly.

Part ONE of TWO - This video is being suppressed on the search engine! Press conference, European Parliament, Brussels - 01 December 2011 Crisis: Who is Pulling the Strings? - Chi tira i fili della crisi? - Conferenza Stampa, Parlamento Europeo, Bruxelles Mario Borghezio, MEP (Lega Nord) Daniel Estulin, journalist & author (giornalista e scrittore) ................................... BORGHEZIO's transcript (I couldn't add Speroni's as Youtube says 'too long'): Thank you, President Speroni. I also thank for being here, Ms Mara Bizotto (MEP) who raises an interesting question, but I will keep you curious till the end of the conference, because she will speak about it herself. I would like to remind everyone that on the 9 June of this year, we tried to attend - my assistant and I, in the process of humbly trying to do our jobs - I as an MEP and he as a research assistent in the European Parliament - to hear, at least in general, what these gentlemen were talking about, who were meeting at the elegant, highly reclusive resort of St Moritz. We were savagely thrown out because evidently these organisations don't like transparency. As soon as Mario Monti's candidature for prime minister was announced I immediately decided to do my duty by reporting the clear incompatibility between the three posts that he had at the time, and that is his being an international adviser to Goldman Sachs, his being the President of the European Branch of the Trilateral Commission, as well as his ...

www.DemocracyNow.org - The European financial crisis continues to worsen as fears grow that Italy may become the latest nation in need of a massive bailout. The European Commission admitted today that the entire Eurozone could be plunged into a recession in 2012. While Greece, Ireland and Portugal have already received international bailouts, the debt situation in Italy is considered far more dangerous. It is the eighth largest economy in the world -- larger than Greece, Ireland and Portugal combined. On the political front, Italy remains in a state of upheaval as Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has pledged to step down after parliament approves sweeping austerity measures geared to placate markets. Democracy Now! speaks with Antonio Tricarico, coordinator of the Italian organization Campaign for World Bank Reform and a former economic correspondent at the Italian newspaper Il Manifesto.

Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Welcome to Capital Account. Nicolas Sarkozy and challenger Francois Hollande face off today in a live French election TV debate. This is reportedly being seen as the climax of the campaign. With elections in France and Greece this weekend, the results have the potential to send shockwaves across theEuropean debt-landscape. We speak with former diplomat and investment banker, and founder of creditwritedowns.com, Edward Harrison about how politics in single countries could impact the global economy. This includes a conversation on the latest PMI numbers that show growth could be slowing across the globe, including in China. Meanwhile, what did outspoken and famed fund manager Hugh Hendry tell a panel about Europe at the Milken Institute Global Conference yesterday that has people talking? Could asset confiscation be top on the list of concerns for investors and businessmen in Europe? He seems to think so, saying that he believes we are a year away from the french nationalizing their banking system. And speaking of asset confiscation, foreign financial institutions are reportedly frantically preparing and shelling out serious money in order to comply with US tax regulations. It's the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), and as US citizens are shunned by Swiss and German banks facing these rules, more evidence reveals American expats are lining up to give up their passports. We'll talk about what this means, and why we continue to ...

The non-verbal communication says it all. Asked about what they told Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi at Sunday's euro crisis talks in Brussels, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy respond with smiles and then go on to say that their call on Italy to present further reforms before Wednesday's second euro summit. Related story: www.euractiv.com After being severely admonished by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at a summit on Sunday, Berlusconi issued a statement saying that nobody in the EU had the right to nominate himself commissioner and teach lessons to other governments. Berlusconi also hit back at France and Germany, hinting that the real cause of the euro crisis wasn't Italian overspending, but the greed of their banks. "In what refers to the turbulences of sovereign debt and the bank crisis, in particular the French-German one, we have firm positions which we will outline at the next EU Council," Berlusconi said. Bruxelles: domanda su Berlusconi. E in sala stampa ridono tutti. (23 ottobre 2011). Il premier italiano vi ha rassicurato sui provvedimenti che prenderà il suo governo?".

August 2008 Meet Beppe Grillo, or 'the crown prince of Italian politics'. Disenchanted by decades of corrupt politicians, a porous economy, the mafia and thousands of tonnes of rubbish, Grillo is using humour to shape up Naples. "Our weapons have been to ask for signatures! Our main weapon is to grab them by the arse!" Grillo's petition for individuals to compete in elections gained a million signatures. He even launched "V Day" with V standing for "Vaffanculo" or "fuck off". But with political parties dictating the media, how did he do it? "With the web, you can make miracles." Grillo uses his web blog to discuss the corruption implicit in Italian politics. Yet despite widespread backing, the old regime remains, "Italians have short memories a little longer than goldfish". This may explain the re-election of extravagant billionaire Prime Minister Berlusconi or as Grillo says, "the dwarf with asphalt hair." Produced by ABC Australia Distributed by Journeyman Pictures
