1/ Brutto "scivolone" per Sallusti e Borgonovo, annunciati come ospiti alla festa di Lealtà e Azione, gruppo neonazista ispirato all'antisemita romeno Codreanu. Con loro Ballarati, portavoce del Remigration summit: gli chiederanno di dissociarsi dal sospetto terrorista che vi ha partecipato?

1/ A Pontida la remigrazione è ufficialmente diventata una parola d'ordine della Lega. Sullo sfondo della segreteria di Salvini, i giovani leghisti ed europarlamentari come Vannacci, Sardone e Tovaglieri premono per una svolta ancora più a destra.

1/ As I recently wrote: "The danger is that the immediate objection to remigration will not focus on its unconstitutional and subversive nature, but rather on its practical unfeasibility, which, by a grim paradox, could end up sounding like an unintended argument in favor of extermination"

I have a theory that Russia is focusing so much of pumping out fake videos about Moldova, despite them having no real impact, because they hope the election results will be overturned, like in Romania, because of all their interference (which has no real impact).

1/ The Dutch parliament has approved a far-right motion calling on the government to designate “Antifa” as a terrorist organization (with the support of VVD, center-right party). Let’s remember: “Antifa” does NOT exist! We are heading toward collective paranoid madness.

1/ Il processo di martirizzazione di Kirk sarà una licenza per la radicalizzazione. Qualcuno lo immagina come l’equivalente di un nuovo incendio al Reichstag. Nuovo numero della newsletter. Si legge qui: osservatoriocomplottismo.substack.com/p/charlie-ki...

1/ In several of his films, Robert Redford brought to the screen what we might call civic paranoia, a healthy suspicion of the excesses and abuses of power that all citizens should cultivate.

Nelle prossime ore, sulla mia newsletter, si parlerà della martirizzazione globale di Charlie Kirk e del perché sta succedendo. Ci si iscrive (gratis) qui: osservatoriocomplottismo.substack.com

I giornali di destra ieri e oggi: l'orribile omicidio di Kirk è il pretesto per una campagna diffamatoria e paranoica contro sinistra e intellettuali in Italia. Le destre brandiscono un morto oltreoceano per fare vittimismo. Capacità di analisi politica: zero. Umanità: pure.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

From martyrdom to canonization: Charlie Kirk proclaimed a saint by American ultracatholic influencers in an AI-generated image showing him in front of Milan’s Cathedral alongside Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, recently canonized by Pope Leo XIV.

Wasn't Charlie a Christian? Or maybe far-right Christianity is basically paganism.

1/ European media are devoting a disproportionate amount of attention to the assassination of a politician nobody in Europe had ever heard of, except for a few nerds, while giving almost none to the guilty verdict for a coup attempt in Brazil.

The Israeli far right’s disconnection from its own origins and from the fundamental trauma of the Jewish people reaches, with the naming of a square after Kirk - a man who updated 1920s antisemitism - one of the most paradoxical points of recent years.

1/ How can we explain Ezra Klein’s excessive generosity toward Charlie Kirk’s political legacy? Perhaps only by the desire to counterbalance the dishonest and distorted image that the far right is building of the left with a more “reasonable” one, open to dialogue with fascist ideas.

who needs fringe extremist groups when the calls for war, retribution and violence are coming from the mainstream? my latest for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Charlie Kirk spread White Supremacist views on his show: he claimed that immigrants aren’t Americans, wanted to end dual citizenship. He claimed that Crockett, a Black congresswoman, was part of „an effort to end the white population“. He called for the deployment of the military to US cities.

Lot of people yelling at me for saying celebrating assassination is no way to struggle against fascism. I’m not asking you to mourn Kirk, a fascist. I’m asking you to respect yourself. There is no righteous form of murder. Takes more courage to fight for democracy than to embrace fascism’s methods.

1/ Joseph Ladapo, the official in charge of health policy in the U.S. state of Florida, has announced a plan to eliminate vaccine mandates altogether, including those for children.

Da storico mi vergogno di questo editoriale, che - riducendo il genocidio alla mera fase finale dello sterminio - ne restringe a tal punto la definizione che tutte le persecuzioni naziste che precedettero le Einsatzgruppen e i lager sarebbero escluse dall'Olocausto.

Tommy Robinson is a far-right extremist with multiple convictions who has for years, in alliance with hooligans and neo-fascists, incited racist riots in England. The fact that the Lega group leader in the Lombardy Council supports such a violent figure is a disgrace that must be called out.

1/ @davidpuente.it e Marianna Satta hanno fatto un lavoro OSINT eccezionale nel reperire le prove dell'esistenza del Nutella Cafè a Gaza. Un lavoro che, però, per come è stato presentato, sta involontariamente rinforzando il negazionismo di Gazawood sui canali mainstream italiani.

1/ How can Gaza’s famine coexist with “Nutella cafés”? According to denialist propaganda, it’s impossible—in fact, it’s presented as proof that food is plentiful and deaths from hunger are staged. Yet the history of famines shows that hunger does not affect all social classes in the same way.

1/ While famine in the Gaza Strip reaches the point of no return, the Israeli government’s propaganda keeps denying reality, clinging to the discredited Pallywood conspiracy theory. I cover it on @facta.news , link at the end of the thread.

Complimenti al sindaco di Gallarate, Andrea Cassani, che, dopo aver ospitato nella sua città un raduno di estremisti di destra (tra cui uno arrestato in agosto per terrorismo), pubblicizza Gazawood, il peggior account in circolazione, e ne sparge le orribili teorie del complotto.

1/ “I want to try and get to Heaven” An email with this subject line was sent by Donald Trump’s campaign to his supporters, reigniting speculation about his health after a weekend in which half the Internet believed he was dead.

1/ A study from the University of Ottawa shows that, contrary to age-related stereotypes, it is young people under 35 who are the most likely to believe in conspiracy theories.

Giorgia Meloni’s party, Brothers of Italy, uses AI memes to blandly push authoritarian messages: “Anyone who disagrees with us is a traitor and a communist”. (In the image: Elly Schlein - Democratic Party; Maurizio Landini - CGIL, Italian main trade union; Giuseppe Conte - Five Star Movement)

After the world’s leading genocide scholars has stated that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide, Israel Foreign Ministry has accused them of basing their conclusions on Hamas’ lies. Israeli govt has reached a level of conspiracism that is ridiculous, obscene, and tragic.

It had never happened since WWII that the far right was, at the same time, the leading political force in these European countries UK: Farage’s Reform at 31% Germany: Weidel’s Alternative for Germany at 25% Netherlands: Wilders’s Party for Freedom at 18% France: Bardella’s National Rally at 34%

Thomas Deveson, the far-right extremist arrested in the Netherlands on terrorism charges and part of the network that organized the Remigration Summit in Italy, will remain in pre-trial detention for another 90 days, as the court rejected his request for release. www.bd.nl/meierijstad/...

A parenthesis of good news (to catch a breath from the bad): while Israeli government propaganda denies the famine induced in Gaza, Jordanian chef Yasmin Nasir is suggesting recipes to Gazans using the few ingredients they have available and without the need for electricity.

1/ SCOOP for Italy: On August 14, a participant in the Remigration Summit in Gallarate was arrested near Amsterdam on charges of preparing a far-right terrorist attack and of illegally possessing weapons and ammunition. I discuss it here: www.facta.news/articoli/tho...

È stato arrestato con l'accusa di terrorismo un attivista olandese di estrema destra che lo scorso maggio era presente al "Remigration summit" di Gallarate, il ritrovo dell’ultradestra europea con al centro il tema della deportazione forzata di persone migranti | @jacopodimiceli.bsky.social
