Letta and the elephant under water
One summer I was at the seaside when I felt some heavy implacable hands on my shoulders. Someone pushed me under the water. For one or two whole minutes I tried to get free without succeeding. After loads of useless efforts, full of anguish, I was about to resign myself to my destiny when just as in an enchantment, whoever wanted me dead, let go of me. I came up to the surface and saw him. I didn’t recognise him. He was laughing but when he looked at me he changed his expression. He said „Sorry – it was a joke. I thought you were my friend Alberto“. Captain Findus Letta is like that.

The NSA‘s metastasised intelligence-industrial complex is ripe for abuse
The roots of this trend go back at least as far as the Reagan era, when the political right became obsessed with limiting government and denigrating those who worked for the public sector. It began a wave of privatization – because everything was held to be more „cost-efficient“ when done by the private sector – and that only deepened with the political polarization following the election of 2000. As it turns out, the promises of cheaper, more efficient services were hollow, but inertia carried the day.
