PATRIMONIALE IN ITALIA ED OCCIDENTE PER I PATRIMONI SUPERIORI AI 5,5 MILIONI DI EURO

 Per vari motivi sono favorevole ad una tassa , in occidente ed in Italia sui patrimoni superiori ai 5,5 milioni di euro , in relazione ad un indice di gini (Vittorio Valletta , nel 1960 circa prendeva 20 volte lo stipendio di un impiegato , si veda invece lo stipendio di Tavares di Stellantis,oggi) che indica una diseguaglianza troppo alta ed al fatto che gli italiani, ceto medio, non arrivano a fine mese con lo stipendio ; si leggano -POPULISM and economics- di Charles Dumas e -Hanno vinto i ricchi-di Riccardo Stagliano'. Questo indipendentemente da A Delocalizzazioni/offshoring e cinesizzazione occidente B Sganciamento dollaro USD dall'oro nel 1971 e finanziarizzazione C Immigrazione di massa , specialmente mussulmana D menzogne sulla Russia di Vladimir Putin E mancanza di meritocrazia in Italia (si legga Roger Abravanel)

Da chi non sono gradito

 Ai banchieri ed agli industriali europei, ai magistrati ed ai generali della guardia di finanza ed ai generali dei carabinieri italiani, io non piaccio assolutamente, perche' principalmente, al di la' di essere molto preparato (laurea conseguita in corso, ottimo inglese-livello almeno B2 o addirittura C1 del QCER-, master, esperienza di lavoro etc etc), ai loro occhi, ho il grave difetto di avere il vizio di essere una persona libera e pensante e non di essere una pecora.

ps D'altronde, gia' il politico francese GEORGES CLEMENCEAU, aveva detto, per me giustamente che ; "la guerra e' una cosa troppo seria per lasciarla ai generali".

OTTIMO TESTO, CON CUI CONCORDO, DI Benjamin Abelow

 

RENE' GIRARD AND SECOND COMING

 René Girard (full name: René Noël Théophile Girard; 25 December 1923 – 4 November 2015) was a French-American historian, literary critic, philosopher, and anthropologist of religion, best known for developing mimetic theory.

Key Biographical Facts

Born in Avignon, France.

Studied medieval history at the École Nationale des Chartes in Paris.

Earned a PhD in history from Indiana University (United States).

Spent most of his academic career in the US, teaching at institutions including Duke University, Bryn Mawr College, Johns Hopkins University, SUNY Buffalo, and Stanford University (where he was Andrew B. Hammond Professor of French Language, Literature, and Civilization until retiring in the mid-1990s).

Elected to the Académie Française in 2005.

Converted to Roman Catholicism later in life (after an earlier agnostic period) and integrated Christian insights deeply into his later work.

Died in Stanford, California, at age 91.

Core Ideas: Mimetic Theory

Girard’s thought centers on three interconnected concepts:

Mimetic Desire

Human desire is not primarily autonomous or based on the inherent value of objects. Instead, we desire things because others desire them (imitation/mimesis). Desire is triangular: subject → model/mediator → object. This can foster learning and culture but often produces rivalry, envy, and conflict when people compete for the same objects or status.

The Scapegoat Mechanism

Escalating mimetic rivalries can threaten to destroy a community in a “war of all against all.” Societies resolve this crisis by uniting against a single (often arbitrary) victim—the scapegoat—whose expulsion or death restores peace. The victim is later sacralized, giving rise to myths, rituals, prohibitions, and the foundations of religion and culture.

The Judeo-Christian Revelation

Archaic religions and myths conceal the innocence of the scapegoat. The Hebrew Bible and especially the Gospels (particularly the Passion of Christ) uniquely expose the scapegoat mechanism by revealing the victim’s innocence. This undermines sacrificial violence and opens a path toward non-violent resolution of conflict. Girard saw Christianity as a powerful antidote to the cycle of mimetic violence.

Major Works

Mensonge romantique et vérité romanesque (1961; English: Deceit, Desire, and the Novel) — Introduces mimetic desire through analysis of novelists such as Cervantes, Stendhal, Flaubert, Proust, and Dostoevsky.

La Violence et le sacré (1972; Violence and the Sacred) — Extends the theory to anthropology, myth, and sacrifice.

Des choses cachées depuis la fondation du monde (1978; Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World) — His magnum opus, synthesizing the theory and applying it to Scripture.

Le Bouc émissaire (1982; The Scapegoat).

Je vois Satan tomber comme l’éclair (1999; I See Satan Fall Like Lightning).

Later works include analyses of Shakespeare and reflections on modern violence (e.g., Achever Clausewitz / Battling to the End).

Girard’s interdisciplinary ideas have influenced theology, philosophy, anthropology, literary studies, psychology, economics, and political thought. He has been described by some (including Michel Serres) as a “Darwin of the human sciences” for offering a grand explanatory framework for desire, violence, culture, and religion.

His work remains influential and sometimes controversial, particularly regarding its claims about the uniqueness of the Judeo-Christian tradition and its applications to contemporary social and political phenomena.

Thought for 9s

René Girard viewed the Second Coming (Parousia) and apocalyptic themes through the lens of his mimetic theory, emphasizing human rather than divine violence. He argued that the Christian revelation has already initiated an apocalyptic process by exposing and disabling the ancient scapegoat mechanism that once contained societal violence.⁠Unherd

Key Elements of Girard’s Apocalyptic Perspective

Girard’s later works—especially Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World (1978), I See Satan Fall Like Lightning (1999), and Battling to the End (Achever Clausewitz, 2007/2009)—develop an increasingly explicit eschatological outlook. He interpreted biblical apocalyptic texts (e.g., Matthew 24, Revelation) not as predictions of God’s wrathful punishment, but as warnings about the consequences of unchecked human mimetic rivalry once sacrificial solutions no longer work.⁠Girardianlectionary

Christianity dismantles the scapegoat mechanism: Archaic religions and cultures stabilized themselves through collective violence against a scapegoat (victim). The Gospels uniquely reveal the victim’s innocence (especially in the Passion of Christ), making effective scapegoating impossible once this truth spreads. Without the old “safety valve,” mimetic crises escalate more dangerously.⁠Iep.utm

The apocalypse has already begun: Girard stated that “the apocalypse has already begun.” Secularization and the decline of traditional religious restraints accelerate this process. Societies lose the residual sacrificial and institutional restraints (what Girard, drawing on 2 Thessalonians, calls the katechon—the force that “holds back” the end). What remains is pure mimetic rivalry escalating “to extremes.” This clearing of old structures, in his view, prepares the ground for Christ’s return.⁠Unherd

Apocalyptic violence is human, not divine: In the Gospels, predicted violence (wars, nation rising against nation, etc.) is attributed to human beings, not to God. Old Testament imagery of divine judgment is reinterpreted as describing the mimetic crisis itself. God does not inflict the violence; humanity does, through its refusal of the non-violent alternative offered by Christ.⁠Girardianlectionary

The Second Coming and the alternative: The absolute novelty of the Second Coming represents the definitive triumph of Christ beyond the current order of time and place. Girard saw two possibilities facing humanity: either radical conversion (imitating Christ’s renunciation of rivalry and violence, learning to love one another) or self-destruction through escalating mimetic conflict, potentially aided by modern technology (nuclear weapons, etc.). Politics and traditional institutions can no longer fully contain the crisis; only conversion offers a way forward.⁠Thinkingfaith

Girard rejected popular fundamentalist readings of apocalypse as a divine score-settling. His version is anthropological and theological: Christianity reveals the truth that can save humanity from its own violence, yet by doing so it also removes the mechanisms that previously limited that violence. The result is an unprecedented historical situation—simultaneously the greatest opportunity for peace and the greatest risk of catastrophe.

This “apocalyptic turn” in Girard’s thought became more pronounced in his final decades and has been discussed by scholars as a form of biblical eschatology that engages (and critiques) figures such as Hegel and Heidegger while aligning in certain respects with Augustinian perspectives.⁠Onlinelibrary.wiley

In short, for Girard the Second Coming is tied to the unveiling of the scapegoat mechanism and the consequent choice between conversion and escalating violence. The end times are not primarily about God’s destruction of the world, but about humanity confronting the consequences of its own mimetic desires once the old sacred solutions have been exposed as false

The Camp of the Saints Has Arrived in Texas

Paul Craig Roberts

White Texas Republicans–US Senator John Cornyn, Texas state Rep. Lacey Hull, Texas state Rep. Jared Patterson, Texas state Rep. Jeff Leach, and a number of other Republicans regard immigrant-invaders from the Muslim Middle East and from India as Texans.

Indian Pooja Sethi, standing for the Texas legislature says:  “I am what Texas looks like, “and if you don’t like it, you can leave.” 

Bo French blew the whistle on the disappearance of American Texas, and the Republicans called him a racist. In other words, if you do not accept colonization by immigrant-invaders, you are a racist.

Texas and Florida will not for long be red states. College and K-12 school enrollments make the point.  White enrollment in the University of Texas, Dallas, has fallen from 43% in 2012 to 19% in 2025.  Asian enrollment has risen from 25% to 42%.  Texas taxpayers are paying to educate immigrant-invaders.  The category Asian seems to consist largely of displaced Muslims from Washington’s 21st century wars in the Middle East, wars for Greater Israel.

In Dallas’ Coppell school district, white enrollment K-12 has dropped from 65% in 2006 to 22% in 2026.  Asian enrollment has risen from 18% to 57%.

In 2023 the Indian share of the H-1B work visas was 78%.

Jared Taylor reports in the Unz Review https://www.unz.com/jtaylor/whos-been-messing-with-texas/  the “the last time a Democrat won the presidential election with a majority of the white vote was 62 years ago: Lyndon Johnson. Since then, every single Democrat President was elected with a huge majority of the non-white vote, and a minority of whites.”

President Trump, by serving Israel instead of Americans, has possibly elected a Democrat Congress on November 3.  On the other hand, the left-wing Democrats who won the primary elections could be too extreme for disappointed MAGAs to sit out the election. Nevertheless, America’s existence as a white nation is close to an end.  A Tower of Babel is emerging around us.
