Here’s how the media manipulated Princess Victoria Alliata’s speech in Moscow

There are wars that are fought with weapons, there are wars that are fought with weapons and the media. Since February 24 last year, the West has declared an all-out media war against Russia. Any free voice is repressed, any dissent is ridiculed. In Europe and in the United States, it is almost forbidden not to be against Putin.

For over a year now, the global information machine has been building a unified narrative, identifying the conflict between Russia and Ukraine as a war between good and evil. You can’t have doubts, because doubts are not allowed. Russia is evil and must be destroyed. Amen.

In this asymmetric war, among the weapons available to the West, the mainstream media is the most lethal device: because it is a tool that manipulates consciences, changes the narrative, erases history and rewrites it. Ten years of repression of the pro-Russian population of Donbass by the Kiev government have literally been eroded. It shouldn’t be talked about. Those events never happened and the nearly forty thousand victims of that civil war no longer belong to history.

In mid-March, the first meeting of the Russophile Movement was held in Moscow. Delegates came to the Russian capital from 40 countries, including the United States. Russian Foreign Minister Sergej Lavrov and Spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs  Maria Zakharova also took part in the debate.

What did the Western media say about that appointment that was intended to be a debate in the name of dialogue and political reflection?

The western media demolished the reflections provided by the occidental speakers. Their speeches have been manipulated, twisted and re-edited to make them appear out of context and out of sense. The rule is simple: anyone who doesn’t contest Russia and Putin is mad and should be marginalized.

Among the “victims” of this oblivion of the truth there is also Vittoria Alliata di Villafranca. Writer, journalist, Arabist, Vittoria Alliata participated in the meeting in Moscow by telling her truth.

The media from all over the world stripped her speech, manipulating it and deleting important pieces of contemporary history. From the British “The Guardian” to the main Italian newspapers, the race has started to overturn the thought of the refined Italian intellectual.

Here’s what the princess of Sicilian origins had really said.

“A year ago, when teaching Dostoyevsky became an issue in Italian universities and the greatest living soprano and conductor were forced to either denounce their Russian homeland or lose their jobs, I thought “Welcome on board!” . Russophobia is only the last of many phobias purposely built for modern formulas of colonization. Its manifesto can be considered the will by which Cecil Rhodes, the founder of Rhodesia, established the supremacy of the anglo-saxons and their right to rule the world and exploit its resources”.

Vittoria Alliata is also challenged for a passage of her speech relating to the role of intelligence and the American army in having favored the Sicilian mafia at the end of the Second World War.

Alliata said these words: “I come from Sicily, a multicultural island of the Mediterranean which was – for thousands of years – the crossroads of refined civilizations that built a glorious and still very lively heritage. Yet for the last 70 years Sicily has mostly been known for the evil deeds of a criminal group, the mafia, brought back by the US army when it landed on the island to liberate Europe from Nazism. It was the first ISIS, a terrorist organization freely committing all sorts of abuses and massacres and simulating a strong religious affiliation. Although heroic Sicilians from all walks of life fought it back, the big movie industry built a blemishing image of my country, meant to legitimise its occupation with huge military basis operating in the front line against Russia and the Arab world”.

But for the Western mainstream this is not true. Yet historical documents and in-depth analyzes also corroborated by judicial investigations have established the existence of a precise link between the Mafia criminal systems in Sicily and the US army and intelligence. A link that has continued over the years, culminating even in that historical period – the 60s/70s of the last century – which in Italy is called “the strategy of tension”. In order to blame those like Vittoria Alliata who want to promote dialogue between the West and Russia, history, the real one, must be cancelled.

In her speech at the Moscow Forum, Vittoria Alliata also underlined the true nature of Russophobia, comparing this political sentiment to the demonization campaign of the Arab world.

“Russophobia is none other but the post-production of a long-term project: that of destroying Russia for exactly the same reasons for which so many Arab countries have been destroyed or are presently under attack, like Lebanon. And these reasons are not only oil, wealth and geostrategic issues, but also the capacity to stick to various models of traditional multicultural societies”.

Daria Dugina

Vittoria Alliata concluded her speech by recalling Daria Dugina, the journalist killed in a terrorist attack last year: “As the West has built an icon of Lady Diana for her elegance and style, we must make Daria Dugina the symbol of all those women who still consistently fight for the respect of a multipolar traditional world. We have to give them the strength to defend their position. Not every woman can be a hero like Daria Dugina. But every woman can give some of her love to build a better world”.

No European newspaper has dedicated a note or a memory to Daria Dugina. On the contrary, there has been fury against that woman torn apart by a criminal bomb. The most important Italian newspaper told the story of that attack with an article whose incipit read as follows: “Like father, like daughter”, with an obvious reference to professor Alexksandr Dugin. No mercy even in front of the mangled body of a young woman. That’s the way the world is.
