International Forget the hype about the Mafia, stilettos and all the rest! As in all countries, in Italy there are areas and periods which are dangerous and others which are safe. If you plan well and keep in mind that you are entering a different environment, you can have a safe and momentous trip! Passports and means of ID: Italian hotels require that all occupants show their passport/ID for registration with local police. Credit Cards Most stores and restaurants now accept major credit cards and are equipped with electronic P.O.S. machines. Pick-pocketing Pick-pocketing has become a major problem in all large cities. There are many unemployed, often illegal immigrants, from Eastern Europe who plague passers-by. Kidnapping and Organized Crime Kidnapping is a very serious problem in Italy. As the paying of ransom is illegal in Italy, many kidnappings are never reported. As a rule of thumb ask yourself these questions: Am I, or is my business, a target for O.C. in my own or other countries?

POLITICO, LA BIBBIA DI WASHINGTON, SI BUTTA SULLA CARTA! IL SITO PUBBLICHERÀ UN BIMESTRALE Piero Vietti per "Il Foglio" Politico, "la bibbia digitale per drogati di politica" - secondo la definizione di Usa Today - ha deciso di stupire ancora una volta l'asfittico mondo delle news lanciando un magazine di carta che uscirà ogni due mesi in 40.000 copie. Il primo numero verrà distribuito il 15 novembre, e dal giorno precedente sarà online anche il sito web della rivista, che - aggiornato quotidianamente - anticiperà temi e approfondimenti del cartaceo. Nato appena sette anni fa come piccolo sito di informazione politica statunitense, Politico è diventato in breve strumento imprescindibile per chiunque voglia sapere cosa succede nelle stanze del potere a Washington Dc. JIM VandeHei Credibilità, autorevolezza, fonti informatissime, capacità di sintesi, di analisi e rapidità, ne hanno fatto una corazzata dell'informazione politica americana. Così è nata l'idea del magazine, in controtendenza rispetto a quello che il mercato delle news predica da anni.

Dal libro di Roberto Fabiani Dal libro di Roberto Fabiani I Massoni in Italia Editoriale l'Espresso L'unificazione fra le obbedienze di Palazzo Giustiniani e Piazza del Gesù Eppure come nel primo triennio della sua gran maestranza aveva colto il frutto maturo del riconoscimento da parte della Gran Loggia Unita d'Inghilterra, anche all'inizio del secondo triennio Salvini realizzò un grosso successo che aveva tutte le caratteristiche per essere definito storico: la riunificazione con la Massoneria Universale di piazza del Gesù. In pochi anni Bellantonio aveva fatto dimenticare la controversia circa la legittimità storica del suo gruppo e aveva messo insieme 3.500 fratelli distribuiti in circa 200 logge. Può sembrare un particolare poco importante, ma non è così.
Guido Carli | Complotti Occorre adesso introdurre un lungo discorso su Enrico Cuccia, per studiare le diverse strade che imboccarono lui e Raffaele Mattioli e scandagliare meglio le loro personalità. Mattioli era un fautore del “capitalismo ordinato”, come lo chiama Giorgio Galli, Cuccia invece era fautore di un capitalismo “proteso verso la rivincita”. Sia Mediobanca (Cuccia) che Comit (Mattioli) dipendono dall’IRI, vale a dire dallo Stato. “Senonchè mentre a Mattioli ciò sta bene, a Cuccia no. Cuccia riesce a portare nel suo “salotto”, oltre al fior fiore dell’imprenditorialità italiana (dagli Agnelli ai Pirelli), la potentissima Banque Lazard che opera lungo l’asse Parigi-Londra-New York, mettendo a profitto l’amicizia che ha stretto durante la famosa missione del ‘42 con il grande banchiere ebreo Andrè Meyer. Mattioli e Cuccia sono agli antipodi per quanto riguarda la loro attitudine nei confronti delle grandi famiglie imprenditoriali. La vita Cuccia nasce a Roma il 24 novembre 1907. La missione a Lisbona

NSA files decoded: Edward Snowden's surveillance revelations explained | World news Two factors opened the way for the rapid expansion of surveillance over the past decade: the fear of terrorism created by the 9/11 attacks and the digital revolution that led to an explosion in cell phone and internet use. But along with these technologies came an extension in the NSA’s reach few in the early 1990s could have imagined. Details that in the past might have remained private were suddenly there for the taking. Chris Soghoian Principal technologist, ACLU NSA is helped by the fact that much of the world’s communications traffic passes through the US or its close ally the UK – what the agencies refer to as “home-field advantage”. The Snowden documents show that the NSA runs these surveillance programs through “partnerships” with major US telecom and internet companies. The division inside the NSA that deals with collection programs that focus on private companies is Special Source Operations, described by Snowden as the “crown jewels” of the NSA.
