Summary - The article is inspired by the vicissitudes of a Dutch
criminologist, who was recently entrusted with the management of a well-known
postgraduate school set up in Italy by the Association for Research into Crimes
against Art (ARCA) and appointed as Visiting Scholar at the Institute of
Criminology of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. These important roles
have been conferred to him within a few months by a conviction for crimes,
perpetuated as a lawyer against the European Union, harming dozens of families
in serious economic difficulties. As declared by a prominent Dutch academic,
the frauds amount to millions of euros.
The context offers the opportunity to observe the
development of a powerful transnational network, strongly operative in the
sector of cultural heritage protection and trade, and to focus on an aspect of
an epoch-making phenomenon currently underway in the supranational dominant system
that influence the Western Bloc countries.
---------------------
Noah’s Ark
2007. Noah Charney, a brilliant young American coming
from a well-known family of the Jewish community (born in 1979; the father
psychiatrist and the mother teaching at Yale University), is the main actor in
the constitution of the Association for Research into Crimes against Art (1) of
which he is currently President. Better known by the acronym ARCA, the
institution was strongly favored by a convergence of interests between
different international law enforcement agencies, the major role played by the
Americans of the Art Crime section at FBI, by the correspondent British team at
New Scotland Yard, and in Italy by the Comando Carabinieri Tutela Patrimonio
Culturale.
Undoubtedly, the operation also had considerable support from eminent art
historians, criminologists and journalists. The latter (the New York Times
Magazine in the front row) sniffed a new rich thread of investigative scandal
concerning auction houses, gallery owners, traffickers and collectors, hundreds
of prominent names. The association was born immediately after an important
international conference, definable a general rehearsal of orchestra, held in
2006 at the University of Cambridge.
The main purpose declared by the ARCA is to combat
perpetuated crimes in the field of artistic heritage, where those of
archaeological interest occupy a prominent place.
Charney also founded the Journal of Art Crime, of which he is
editor, and is currently an associate professor of art history at the American
University of Rome and Visiting Professor at the Institute of
Criminology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, where he resides.
One of the close collaborators of Charney is from the
beginning Edgar Tijhuis, criminologist of Dutch nationality, who from 2009 to
2013 became Visiting Lecturer at ARCA, occupying until now a place in the Board
of Trustees (where the names of the Brig. Gen. Carabinieri Nucleo Tutela
Patrimonio Culturale Giovanni Pastore, retired and for many years alongside
Brig. Gen. Roberto Conforti, recently deceased, who for about two decades was
the first commander of the Unit; Richard Ellis, formerly Chief Inspector of the
New Scotland Yard Arts & Antiquities team, and Dennis Ahearn, director of
security at the London headquarters of the Christies Auction House.
In the middle of 2017, Tijhuis is called to the top of
the association becoming one of the two directors of ARCA (the other is the
British journalist Lynda Albertson) with the task of acting as Academic
Director for Programming in Italy, position previously occupied by Crispin
Corrado, an archaeologist and as Charney also a professor associated with the
American University of Rome, one of the private institutions of excellence
created by the “strong powers” in Italy.
Thanks to his new position, Tijhuis now has a long list of names of
international collaborators and consultants of ARCA, whom he can turn to for
the organization of the academic activities for which he is responsible. It
does not speak Italian, but in the illustrious ancient palace of the beautiful
town of Amelia in the province of Terni, where the academic programs of the
ARCA are located, the preferred language is English. There is also a
prestigious thematic Annual Meeting and the Master in International Crime on
Art and for the Protection of Historical and Artistic Heritage.
It is a training center known internationally, in particular to those who are
professionally interested in the activities of study and contrast of crimes
committed against the world artistic heritage.
The other face of the criminologist
Born in 1976 in the town of Borculo (province of Gelderland, Holland) a few kilometers from the German border, in 1994 Tijhuis enrolled at the University of Amsterdam, earning a degree in Dutch Law in 2001. In those years he also obtained a master’s degree in Political Science (international relations, 1994-1999) and another in American Studies (2002). Between 1999 and 2000 he spent a semester of studies in Criminology, at the University of Fort Hare (South Africa, 1999) and a semester of studies in History at the University of Vienna (Austria, 2000). From May 2001 to September 2006 a PhD at the Faculty of Public Administration of the University of Leiden, seconded to the Dutch Center for the Study of Crime and Police Forces, obtained with the thesis “Transnational crime and the interface between legal and illegal actors “, published in the same year, where it focused some aspects of the illicit trade in pieces of art and antiquities.
Equipped with discretion and refined manners, Tijhuis is welcomed by the Faculty of Law of the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam with the role of Assistant Professor. He worked there from November 2007 to May 2014.
Together with a colleague, in 2005 he founded the Pontius Advocaten, based in Amsterdam where for nine years he practiced as a lawyer. According to an interview with Advocatenblad in 2009, one of the main activities of the study up until that year consisted of the assistance given to important American antique dealers in commercial operations, especially sales in Europe: “My clients are mainly American merchants who they trade antiquities such as Chinese vases and statues of South America. They want to sell their goods in Europe and so it is important to have the certificates of origin in order “(2).
The stay in the law firm ended in December 2014 also following the
investigations carried out by the Disciplinary Council of the Lawyers Order. In
fact, as we will see later, the inspection report recognized both the owners
guilty of what in Italy is defined as a criminal activity aimed at
falsifications and frauds (act published in April 2015).
Although overwhelmed by the scandal Tijhuis did not lose heart, and in 2015
began the activity of socio-qualitative analyst founding in Amsterdam the
Katschberg Consulting producing twenty articles commissioned by specialized
magazines. It should be clarified whether, as a consultant, through this
company Tijhuis continued and continues to provide assistance to American
antiquarians, relying on a law firm of his trust. Or if these activities have
been moved elsewhere.
Since 2016 he works with MediCarrera SL (a Spanish company based in Barcelona)
as a representative for the Netherlands, Belgium and Slovenia (officially, the
company deals with the relocation of medical field operators in other European
areas and in particular in Scandinavia).
As the Dutch doors close, it is Noah Charney from the
USA (land of strong international brotherhoods) who comes to his aide. Not only
does it not expel him from the ARCA Board of Trustees, but since 2016 they are
together in Slovenia, at the Institute of Criminology of the University of
Ljubljana, one of the largest and most renowned in Europe, where Tijhuis is
welcomed in the quality of Visiting Scholar, now dealing with research and
teaches “Qualitative Social Research, Political Economy, International Relations“.
During the last years, Professor Charney has often cited professional opinions
expressed by Edgar Tijhuis, inserting them in many of his articles published in
international publications such as the Washington Post, The Guardian, Observer,
Salon and others, enthusiastic to the point of affirming June 2017: “When
I have a legal doubt concerning the art world, I turn to Edgar Tijhuis, a
lawyer based in Amsterdam and a specialist in crimes in art“. It is a
public and authoritative declaration of trust, an endorsement that may have
convinced rich collectors, auction houses and large-scale merchants to turn to
this character to solve their legal problems (3).
We also see them together in London in November 2015 and in September 2017,
during the series “Masterclasses” organized by the newspaper “The
Guardian“. The theme is “How to write about art and make money from
it“, and lessons are given by Charney, Tijhuis and Diane Fortenberry,
senior editor at Faidon Press. It amazes how even the Guardian, which includes
the publication of a considerable amount of scandals resulting from journalism
endowed with high-level investigative technologies, frauds perpetrated in the
Netherlands seem to go unnoticed (4).
Around mid-2017, as we have seen, in his capacity as President of the ARCA, it
is still Noah Charney who promotes Edgar Tijhuis as FF Director of the academic
activities in Italy, thus welcoming him in the triad at the top, substantially
as his deputy with extensive and important powers.
“Die rotte appels” (“Those rotten apples”)
The Law Firm Pontius Advocaten, founded in Amsterdam in 2005 by Edgar Tijhuis
together with an associated friend, reached its advertising zenith on August
30th 2010 when the largest Dutch television magazine, VARA, of Ned3 (equivalent
to the Italian RAI3), at 8:25 pm had broadcast the report “The Club of Lawyers”
(5).
A TV crew followed the daily activities of some trainees at the Pontius
Advocaten, their task of helping people who could not afford to pay for legal
assistance. The young lawyers were followed closely, both in the office as well
as at the police station, during visits to the homes of the assisted and in
court. Many Dutch newspapers and bloggers cite the service, praising the great
civil sense of the social advocacy that fights to defend those in need. It is a
free advertising that covers the entire national territory, the effect is
immediate and attracts swarms of customers who trust the state television
network.
How not to be moved and feel proud to be part of this nation in listening to the words of the journalist: “If you end up in a legal dispute, but you do not have a full wallet, the Club of Lawyers makes the difference. Four young, ambitious lawyers with a great civic sense help people who cannot pay for a lawyer “. And the trainee Bram Mous, who in the newsletter published by the Order of Lawyers at the request of a journalist “What do you hope the program will bring to viewers?” Responds decisively “A better image of social defense. For many customers reporting fees for lawyers are too high. I hope people see that they do not need to go to the Legal Help Desk, but that they can consult lawyers directly. Our office (Pontius Advocaten) is on the map (in Amsterdam). This already gives us more customers. ”
One of the first articles that revealed the existence of criminal activities at
the Pontius Advocaten is sharpened like the blade of the guillotine: “Attorneys
in Amsterdam take advantage of subsidies for legal assistance“. On 25 April
2015, the online version of the authoritative national newspaper “Het
Parool” was nominated by Henk Schutten, a Dutch
investigative journalist (6).
Henk strikes hard without walking around, he is well aware of his sources. The
subtitle: “Lawyers from the Pontius Advocaten Law Firm in Amsterdam have
made large-scale abuse of legal aid. Their frauds have increased to millions (euros),
up to cause horror between the ranks of social advocacy ” and
begins: “With their false procedures they took public money for millions
of euros. Yet the two founders of Pontius Advocaten (Edgar Tijhuis and his
partner) got away with only a three month unconditional suspension. They
can resume practicing next month“.
The journalist reports the desperation of Prof. Hein Vogel,
president of the Association of Social Lawyers (VSAN), who declares he does not
understand the motivation for such a slight punishment from the Disciplinary
Council of the Order, and continues “The bad apples (in Dutch: rotten
appels) should be removed, and if there are indeed falsifications and
frauds, these lawyers should no longer be allowed to join the system. ”
Then it is the turn of Mies Westerveld, eminent professor of Law at
the University of Amsterdam (UvA), which sums up the whole story as the “Feast
of the fraud,” then siding with Vogel: “I know that many social
lawyers are against it (the mild sentence) and I share this aversion “.
The damage inflicted on the image of Dutch social advocacy is very serious. The story has such surreal and aberrant connotations that even the suspicion that it has been created to destroy the expensive system of national assistance to those in need arises. However, there is a multitude of lawyers motivated by sound principles and who have meager revenues from these services, often carried out also as pro bono. They do not accept that their category is discredited, and the protest mounts angrily until it reaches the political class, the Chamber of Deputies, where pressing interpellations are presented. An exemplary punishment of the guilty ones is requested, which, however, will never come despite the fact that both the truth of the facts and the extent of the damage at national level are recognized.
The Government’s response is immediate, but has little echo in the newspapers. We find it in an online magazine for lawyers. It is dated 1 June 2015, an article signed by the jurist Lucien Wopereis (7) with the subtitle: “Edgar Tijhuis of the Pontius Advocaten, the office that has been discredited due to the structural abuse of the system of funded legal aid (by the State), has been scrapped from the scene. This derives from the answer given to parliamentary interpellations by the Secretary of State for Security and Justice, Dijkhoff…“.
The article is important as it cites the Secretary of State’s revelations:
years before, the Dean of the Order of Lawyers had received a report
from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was sent an interpellation by
the European Court of Human Rights (Strasbourg), having
found this an atypical and alarming peak of complaints received from Amsterdam.
The Council had not been able to refrain from launching an internal investigation
by sending two inspectors to the Pontius Advocaten in November 2013. Examining
a sample of cases, the inspectors came to the conclusion that indeed those sent
to the ECHR were “completely devoid of possibilities“, and that there
was almost no legitimizing explanation for the submission, lacking even the
substantial content of correspondence with customers. In practice, by embracing
fields such as immigration, criminal law and social security, lawyers had
invoked rights that had not been mentioned in previous cases and that often
could not even apply to those presented.
There is also an alarming timing between the organization of fraud and the
effect of the television service broadcast on 30 August 2010, when many
citizens seeking state-funded legal assistance turned to Pontius.
In fact, according to another trainee, the problems in the office would start in 2011 (although, mind you, at least one of the cases of illegal behavior would be antecedent to the television encomium) after moving to a larger venue, when the amount of the costs of the rent and the fees became very high. From that moment on, the law firm would have dedicated a large part of its activities to legal assistance, funded by the State in order to protect low-income citizens. The trainees would have been subjected to strong pressures to achieve the highest possible turnover, with at least eight hours per hour of that activity declared and, even more serious, as many causes as possible were lost, so that more appeals were signed and more was declared.
Another ex-trainee revealed that: “We had to object to every decision (of the institutions responsible for the judgment for the right to grant subsidies). If there had not been a good opportunity in this regard, we had to invent it “. And again, from a statement by another employee: “What was remarkable is that (defendants E. Tijhuis and partner) got angry when we won a lawsuit. This was due exclusively to the fact that it was not possible to appeal and therefore to ask for the addition (i.e. to earn more money through the additional costs of the appeal) “.
In the cases examined by the Inspector appointed by the Association of Social
Lawyers, the legal path towards the European Court of Human Rights has been
qualitatively poor. Some of the expressions he used are eloquent: “perfectly
hopeless“, “haphazardly“, “the complaint will not go anywhere
considering the established deadlines“. These cases, a sample consisting of
several dozen, were also based on additions. Its share was paid by the office
itself, and in almost all cases there was no authorization from the client to
continue until the ECHR. Usually the customers were not even aware of
the path taken at the Court of Strasbourg. Their misfortunes only seem to
be a good opportunity for lawyers to make money, with a mechanism that ends up
running customers into debt even more (8).
Despite the seriousness of the established facts, the
Disciplinary Council of the Lawyer’s Order did not intervene as heavily as one
would expect. On the contrary, they believed that there were grounds for
moderating the sentence. Which were: “However, the Council takes into
account the fact that since the survey of the Provincial (belonging to
the Social Lawyers Association) the defendants have made significant
changes in their office, among others the moving premises, a reduction and an
improvement modules to streamline work and communication with customers “.
The Council attached importance of the possibility that “the President and
the Disciplinary Council will continue to monitor the office” … “Moreover, during
the session the defendants showed signs of regret for their behavior.
Furthermore, the defendants do not have previous disciplinary records “.
One of the victims of the Pontius
One of the families who claims to be the victim of Pontius Advocaten’s
procedures is that of Henk Faasen, who shared the experience on the
Internet by publishing it on his blog, becoming a national case that despite
the silence of the media is managing to reach and shake the Dutch public
opinion (9).
“Our misery started with the Pontius Advocaten. Edgar Tijhuis
was the one who from 2009 with the guarantee of his law firm made us believe
that (nominative cited) was an authentic administrator … “.
I summarize briefly how much Henk writes about his tragedy. A municipal employee in the Dutch province of Gelderland, he fell ill some fifteen years ago and ended up losing his job. Inevitably the debts begin, and in order to get assistance for their financial recovery, in 2007 Henk Faasen and his wife had to sign a declaration where they agreed to place all their belongings and debts in the hands of an administrator appointed by a welfare institution in agreement with the State. As required by the current legislation. Over a year passed and their situation did not improve and so, in 2009, following the procedure, they presented a detailed declaration of no confidence and turned to the Pontius Advocaten to obtain a new and efficient administration. It is here that the situation begins to get seriously complicated, as the lawyer Edgar Tijhuis accredited a woman of his trust as a new administrator.
The Faasen
family had no suspicion that she lacked the professional requirements to
perform that task, and they knew nothing of the activities performed in the
postal account opened by her in their name. When they learned of an invoice
that the municipality refused to pay, they were denied the opportunity to view
the movements, the amounts credited by the state, the entity and beneficiaries
of the outputs, the situation of the debt. Unfortunately, this “administrator”
who operated thanks to the Pontius Advocaten continued to withdraw sums
from the Faasen’s current account, even months after her removal from the case. In
the meantime, the debts grew dramatically, despite the Dutch law expressly
forbidding that this could happen during the controlled administration for the
purpose of debt consolidation.
In the course of this tragedy Henk Faasen also lost the house, underwent
serious open-heart surgery, and because of the unexpected poverty the social
workers tried to take away their children and entrust them to other Dutch
families.
Crime and supranational power
The microcosm of facts and characters so far exposed contributes to
highlighting little-known aspects of the dynamics of a phenomenon that can also
be observed in Italy, concerning the development of forms of control of society
by transnational bodies, constituent the operational structures of a supranational
powers network.
The context emerges from the profound socio-political and
economic changes observable in the Western Bloc (10), showing the institution
and the progressive strengthening, operated by private bodies (universities,
schools offering postgraduate programs, foundations and cultural associations)
endowed with at international level staff, among which there are persons
belonging, or who formerly belonged, to public or private apparatuses of the
Western Bloc countries. In these structures, parts of the future ruling classes
are being formed, private “crèches” where the systems of the transnational and
supranational powers regenerate, adapting themselves to the new management
needs that appears proceeding with the progress of the Program.
In Italy we are therefore faced with the rapid development and consolidation of
a Western transnational oligarchy, also in the cultural heritage sector.
The implications of socio-political interest in the
activities of these institutions are in fact contextual to the globalization
plan (11) supported by the economic-financial élites who, by ideologically
infiltrating the power centers that characterize the States of the Western
Bloc, proceed in the realization of a “cloud” of transnational bodies,
sometimes exhibiting controversial logic in the selection of the staff and in
the attribution of the powers granted them.
From this it can be understood how in the state apparatus the presence of
protected elements, or made not punishable, is linked to the structural needs
of a complex illegal system rather than to isolated episodes of corruption.
We are dealing with little or no deepened social
mechanisms in criminological literature and even in journalistic reports. We
find instead a description in the writings of bloggers, especially Americans,
including some scholars of political science, which group these mechanisms
under the name “Deep Events “, the activities of a network
of powers off-the-books that define “Supranational Deep State “(12).
Recently the term has been accepted in Europe to describe the European
Commission’s bureaucratic apparatus (13).
Although presenting the same characteristics of the multinational
economic-financial powers from which it derives, the “Deep States”
network has a wide range of interests also in other fields, among which in
particular socio-political and military, coming to operate as a set of shadow
governments (14).
These basic notions must be kept in mind when trying to contextualize the “Deep
Events” that take place in Italy, where the “Deep State”
phenomenology has already been operating for several decades, considering
also that the “Deep States” network of the Western Bloc is able to
determine events such as the drafting of international treaties conditioning
the production chains of each nation, even in the cultural heritage sector
(15).
These mechanisms also concern an important aspect of the organization and international crime management within the “Deep Events” organisms, since crime is one of the active elements of the power system. In Italy, for example, organized crime participates in lobbying phenomenology and other social formulas, including masonic obedience and religious institutions, forming part of the logistics platform of the shadow government of which we have a brief but clear description in the “Calcara Memorials” (16).
Although now dated over a quarter of a century ago, this important document
reveals how in Italy the power of the shadow-government (= “Deep State”) was
managed by a “Super Commissione” formed by the representatives of
the five “Entities” ruling the system:
deviant pieces of Freemasonry (17), of the Vatican Institutions (18) and of the
Italian State Institutions (19), Cosa Nostra, Ndrangheta.
The Calcara Memorials specifies that the term “deviant
parts of the institutions” of the Italian State must be understood as “politicians,
secret services, magistrates, judges, non-commissioned officers of the police,
police and army” (20) defining them “men of very high quality, prepared,
trained and ready to cause enormous damage to anyone “.
In addition, this Memorials informs us that the “Super Commissione” was
at that time composed of fifteen elements, all of Italian nationality, or three
representatives for each Entity, and directed by three elements chosen among
them and elected for life. Although they are endowed with a wide autonomy, the
five Entities operated as one body (“especially when there are financial
and economic interests thus affecting Italy at the level of Politics and
Institutions“), and that among these Entities only Freemasonry
is defined “a very strong power and who manages the power in
Italy must come to terms ” with it(21).
There is reason to believe that this structure is still operational today, even if it is adapted to new international balances, to the point that the vital interests and the well-being of the nation have become secondary or inconsistent with respect to the program of the group of supranational powers. We have a clear example of this in the countless number of sites of the national territory where toxic waste has been buried: a “Deep Event” conceived in the other side of the Alps and entrusted to the maximum coverage of the “Super Commissione” which has provided the manpower of organized crime, partly sacrificing it exposure to deadly diseases (22).
In other cases, instead of silence, it is preferred to propagate and legitimize ideologically activities contrary to national welfare, imposing the “seal” of the Europeanist priorities of globalist inspiration. The striking example here is the management of the impressive immigration flow, partly involving North African criminality, in Italy a rich and paradoxical business apparently made possible by the close cooperation between the five Entities.
In the field of cultural and environmental heritage, for example, the influence of supranational interests on the activities of the “Super Commissione”, or the national shadow government, could be evident in the coming years, if there will be the assignment of much of this excellence of state ownership to private “sponsors”, or companies chosen to foster economic interests disguised as philanthropic activities. On that occasion it will be possible to observe the neutralization of the already heavily reduced and compromised autonomy of the peripheral control apparatus of the cultural heritage, the Superintendencies, providing as a motivation for the necessity of a simplification of the times required to issue the authorizations (23).
From what has been briefly summarized above, it appears evident that the phenomenon of the institution in Italy of important private cultural bodies, founded and directed by foreign citizens cannot take place without the “permission” and the logistic support of the Supranational Deep States network. The Super Commissione (being the hosting Deep State), participate in the operation also inserting its own elements. We are therefore in the presence of “Deep Events” operations of an alarming seriousness, which indicates the methods, means and purposes through which the supranational power and its transnational networks are gradually consolidating their presence on the territory.
There is also evidence of a eversive aspect of these powers, being able not
only to create its own network of structural organisms, but also to grant
impunity to their people or to mitigate the punishments in order to keep them
socially undamaged (24).
The problem appears in all its gravity when it is considered that the
affiliation to the “Deep State” logistic organisms allows, to the public
and private managerial apparatus, the indispensable protection to carry out the
ascent to prominent roles of the exercise of power, as long as they prove to be
able to operate as “system interfaces“, so participating in the foreign
control of the State to which they have sworn loyalty (25).
Last but not least, these organizations are not only
characterized by the establishment of pyramidal systems devoted to the global centralization
of power. It is now known as, with periodic cadence, the media highlight events
where heinous crimes are accompanied by a series of seemingly bizarre
coincidences, to the point that they seem to refer to a symbolic order (26).

Note that “Advocatie” is one of the first online sites that, after a
first article of the ” NRC Handelsblad “, undertook to reveal
the story in depth. The article was published on February 25, 2015, when many
members of the association of social lawyers feared that the whole
investigation would end up buried and that social assistance could be
tragically downsized.

(10) It is sometimes clear that in
these transnational networks the link between the participants is not only
constituted by the ideological sharing of a project, but by stronger bonds at
international level, as well as the ethnic belonging and the religious belief
of the powerful Jewish lobbies and the Masonic brotherhood.
(11) the term is ambiguous.
Etymologically, the globalist ideology is internationalist, being of Marxist
origin. However, it was endorsed by the economic-financial elite following the
creation of multinational companies, a milestone in the advent of supranational
power.

2014, The State, the Deep State, and the Wall Street Overworld; Gorton M.,
2013, Fifty Years of the Deep State.
(13) Coronakis B.A., 2017, The
Deep State of Europe: Requiem for a Dream, Brussels.
Basil Coronakis describes the European Commission as an executive body of the
European Community, characterized by the “most sophisticated and corrupt
administrative machine in the world … devoid of any political legitimacy“,
an imposing system of power that is progressively reducing the legislative and
political sovereignty in a drastic way and monetary policy of the EU countries.
Over the last few decades, a significant number of relatives and “protégées” of
persons belonging to the Italian Nomenclature have been hired in the various
regional or national Liaison Offices at the European Community or have received
scholarships, grants or funds for various activities defined by strategic
interest for the development of the Community purposes.
(14) At present, however, it can
be observed how the supranational power has not reached an optimal degree of
“harmony” between its components and between these and the populations of every
infiltrated (and militarily occupied) nation, such as to allow a solid base of
consensus and therefore a full global control desired by the ideology of the
New World Order.
This lack manifests itself in the presence of factions within each Entity, even in the Masonic pyramid, and the ideological juxtaposition of two main groups of Power is evident: on the one hand the “sovereignists” who in their own nations intend to maintain the parasitic status of shadow-government to which some autonomy of power management at local level is granted; and on the other the “globalists” who aspire to the gradual dissolution of the States (and therefore of each shadow-government) into the complex supranational network of the New World Order.
In this process the institution of the European
Union, and in particular of the European Commission, have a fundamental
propaedeutic role, even if possibly destined to be also made ancillary and
finally dissolved in the successive phase of integration of Europe into a world
government. This will only be possible through the development of the
applications of artificial intelligence in all the fields of control of the
System, and that is why the investments of large multinationals in this
research sector have today reached the amount of hundreds of billions of euros.
These are the daily evidences of struggles between the power lobbies that
currently allow us to understand some of what is happening, both at the
national level and on the international chessboard.
(15) These activities are
concealed behind motivations that are only apparently inspired by the globalist
utopia, as they are interventions in structural sectors where the foundations
of identity are still present, which the logic of supranational power requires
to modify, reduce or cancel.
Although defined as a globalist, the elite of supranational
economic-financial power cannot be ideologically associated with the virtues of
globalization in the field of civil rights (economy without constraints, free
elections, public welfare, freedom of expression, freedom of religion). However,
this confusion in using the term inappropriately proves to be an effective
mimetic expedient of supranational capitalism to proceed in the program of full
control of power.
(16) Borsellino V., in http://www.19luglio1992.com concerning the situation in the 1980’s, today partly modified by the advent of new balances in the international network of powers, the creation of the European Community and its operative apparatus constituted by the European Commission. Since its reliability has been verified by punctual findings during the investigations conducted by the judiciary, it is a historical document of great importance to understand what is behind many controversial events that took place in what was the Italian Republic.
The
memorial contains the statements made to Judge Paolo Borsellino by
a member of Cosa Nostra affiliated with a “reserved” ritual and, as such, also
accepted in Freemasonry as an interface element, i.e. contact and expert
factotum. Declared repentant during a period of incarceration, Vincenzo Calcara
became an important collaborator of justice. It should be noted that these
revelations are contextualized in a set of “events” that marked the transition
from the First Republic, sovereign, to the Second Republic, globalist.
(17) From a pragmatic point of
view, the distinction between observant Freemasonry and “deviated” Freemasonry
often appears captious. This is an operational masonry in terms of “Deep
Events”, which represented the interests of the Masonic Families within the
Italian “Super Commissione”.
It should also be remembered that in his Memorial, the collaborator of justice
Vincenzo Calcara expresses himself also with phrases or terms typologically
ascribable to a the Masonic initiatory tradition.
(18) Rather than “deviated
pieces“, it seems to be logistic structures purposely created to help
provide the Vatican State with an active financial budget. Although there is
the possibility that all Entities were always infiltrated at the summit by
higher international powers, the fact remains that the Vatican political,
economic and financial interests were at that time represented in the “Super
Commissione”.
(19) It is known that the Italian
State has in the past used off-the-books structures to resolve particularly
sensitive domestic and international matters. The feeling is that these
are state structures of interface with operational functions, not only at the
(Italian) “Super Commissione”, but also at the European Community and
other higher powers, evidently represented in the International
Supracommission.
(20) Interviewed during a recent radio broadcast (http://spreaker.com/user/bordernights/border-nights-puntata-131-30-09-2014) , at 48:55 Vincenzo Calcara declares that it is not only of “non-commissioned officers of the carabinieri, police and army“, “but there are also Generals“. The data is important because in the lists of the Propaganda Due (P2) Lodge, there is a significant presence of high-ranking Italian soldiers.
Although initially created within the “observant” Freemasonry, P2 was
later disgraced and called “deviated”. Moreover, at 80:40 of the same interview
Calcara declares that the “Super Commissione” (read Italian “Deep
State“) is still connected to the international one, which he does not want
to talk about, thus confirming that he is aware of a “Supranational
Deep State” organization already existing in the 1980’s .
(21) Since the Masonic Families are structured in a pyramidal organism, having a capillary diffusion in all the Continents and a supranational summit coinciding with the summits of the world financial system, it seems quite probable that its high-level elements also constitute the vertex of the Supranational Deep States network.
Affiliates belonging to the Ur-Lodges (Masonic lodges
“covered”, or secret to ensure maximum confidentiality to VIPs and the
activities that take place), also appear at the summit of the European Commission,
definable a supranational apparatus of bureaucrats that affects the choices of
governments of the Member States of the European Community, giving the
directives to which they must abide.
From this we can understand how, subjected to hidden powers since its
inception, the Italian government has gradually compromised part of its
sovereignty through adherence to a series of treaties, today coming to be bound
to the strategic choices of the “stegocratic” vertex of a set of
supranational powers.

This is a time bomb that no one wants to defuse as the land reclamation would
require a financial intervention that could not be supported by the nation.
Consequently it is foreseeable that, in the next decades, in large and
important areas of the national territory will be the onset of millions of new
cases of cancer caused by toxicity of the places, by the serious polluting
complications that will occur in food production related to livestock and
agriculture, also for the use of drinking water and irrigation. The strong
surge in health spending will also be inevitable, most of it for Italian
families, with serious socio-economic repercussions. An imposing damage whose
responsibility coincides with the European vertex of the “true power”.
(23) It should also be noted that
the control of cultural heritage is an important means of achieving the
objectives of the “cultural globalization” plan. In fact, having a high
degree of cultural homogenization would allow a greater ability to manipulate
the masses, obtaining previously programmed reactions in terms of time and
intensity.
With regard to the Italian Superintendencies, for several decades there has
been a progressive and strong Masonic infiltration of the top management and
therefore of the conditioning of their activities, also by the other Entities
constituting the “Super Commissione”.
(24) and thus to use them in their
staff as reliable elements, being among other things became blackmailed.
(25) thus committing a crime of
“treason”, to which the Italian Penal Code dedicates several dozens of articles
including: attack on integrity, independence and unity of the state (articles
from 241 to 271), and in particular against the internationalization of Italian
State (Article 241); corruption of an Italian citizen by a foreigner against
national interests (Article 246); political conspiracy against the Constitution
(articles 283 and 304).
The members of the Italian “Deep State” constitute a group of
anti-constitutional Entities, engaged with criminal activities, probably
amounting to less than 10% of the population.
However, their dominant power is
based on the degrees of connivance expressed by the rest of the population. The
situation is depicted as a social pyramid at the top of which there is the “Deep
State” organogram of power and, moving downwards, several levels of active
conniving. Finally, the broad base consists of generally passive conniving that
account for over half the population. Placed outside this pyramid are
characters in the marginalized condition of “social death“, the only
possible form of non-connivance.
(26) Include also names of persons
or things, place names, acronyms of institution, dates and arithmetic
calculations that recall myths and symbols. At a first analysis they turn out
to belong to ritual contexts where there are forms of
magical-esoteric-religious expression, to which in the initiatory tradition
correspond different levels of interpretation, reserved for the different
degrees of knowledge of the observers.
It is impossible to obtain reliable results by trying to investigate as a
profane this aspect of the exercise of power.
