Federico Fellini, 1920 - 1993, was an Italian film director and screenwriter.
"In most respects, Fellini the man was an archetypal Italian male - an overgrown momma's boy, always having affairs of varying duration, always running back to his wife, Giulietta Masina." - Scott Eyman.
"Amarcord, loosely based on the director's 1968 autobiographical essay My Rimini,[64], depicts the adolescent Titta and his friends working out their sexual frustrations against the religious and Fascist backdrop of a provincial town in Italy during the 1930s."
...
"Life is a combination of magic and pasta." - Fellini.
...
"There is abundant testimony that if we choose love rather than self, we gain immeasurably." - Fellini.
...
"Never lose your childish enthusiasm - and things will come your way." - Fellini.
...
"I know I live in a fantasy world. I prefer it that way and resent anything that disturbs my vision" - Federico Fellini.
...
"Fellini flirted overtly with women but made his closest relationships with a succession of young gay assistants, among them Pier Paolo Pasolini." - John Baxter
...
"Real religion should be something that liberates men. But churches don't want free men who can think for themself and find their own divinity within." - Fellini.
From Sputnik News onthe City of London as global centre of money laundering corruption -
"Nicholas Wilson, a financial services whistleblower who was fired by UK law firm, Weightmans, after exposing millions of pounds in unfair customer charges, claims the City of London relies on 'dirty money' and says the world economy would collapse if the City stopped laundering it.
Italian journalist Roberto Saviano, who has spent most of his career investigating the mafia, claimed Britain was the most corrupt country in the world.
Mr Wilson said: 'I would agree with that. He is talking about the City of London, the money laundering capital of the world ...
...
Wilson said:
'Nothing can be done to clean up the City of London.
'If any politician tried to dismantle the City of London the world economy would collapse.
'Drugs money was the only thing that kept the banks going during the 2008 financial crisis.'
In 2016 the Home Affairs Select Committee claimed £100 billion in illicit money was being laundered in the London property market every year.
Mr Wilson, a former litigation manager, said: 'The EU wanted to tighten up on money laundering and the UK was the only country who voted against it.'
Last month the government announced Andrew Bailey, the current head of the Financial Conduct Authority – the regulator which oversees financial services and markets in the UK – would take over as Governor of the Bank of England in March.
Andrew Bailey
But Mr Wilson said in the last 12 months Mr Bailey had failed on several high-profile scandals including the collapse of mini-bond firm London Capital and Finance, the implosion of Woodford Investment Management and the gating of the M&G Property Portfolio over liquidity issues.
He said: “He has certainly failed over many years on his handling of the HSBC fraud I first reported to the FSA in 2012.”
Mr Wilson said the bank with the worst reputation was HSBC which he said was implicated in 18 of the 25 top corruption scandals listed by the watchdog Transparency International last year.
Rona Fairhead, a former director of HSBC, was also chair of the BBC Trust and is currently a member of the House of Lords. She was a government minister until May last year." https://sputniknews.com/business/202001161078000377-world-economy-would-collapse-if-city-of-london-stopped-laundering-money-says-hsbc-whistleblower/
"Service members were transported from Al Asad Air Base, Iraq, to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany."
A US military official told CNN that 11 service members had been injured in the attack, which was launched in retaliation for the US airstrikes that had killed Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani the previous week.

"Justin Trudeau has blamed the US 'escalation' in the Middle East for the Iranian shoot-down of a passenger jet in an extraordinary swipe at Donald Trump.

THE STRIKE ON THE UKRAINIAN BOEING MAY HAVE BEEN THE CONSEQUENCE OF A CYBER ATTACK
Iranian radars disabled.
Coordinates of a civilian Ukrainian aircraft changed - so it would look like an enemy aircraft.
The downing of the Ukrainian Boeing might have been the result of a US cyber attack.
IRGC Aerospace Commander Hajizadeh’s speech is a dead giveaway.
He said a huge 'anomaly' impaired Tehran's air defense system, leading to the impression an enemy plane was approaching a sensitive military center – the root of the subsequent 'human error'.
He also said that in the hours after the IRGC missile attack on the Ayn al-Asad base, the Americans had multiplied fighter jet flights near Iran’s aerial borders.
...
Russian military site avia.pro goes straight to the point. This is their English version, which is not as detailed as the report in Russian.
The report in Russian says that if that was cyberwarfare by the Americans, the coup matches point by point the destruction of an IL-20 near Lattakia in September 2018 - which Israeli fighter planes used as a shield.
avia.pro goes for the working hypothesis that the US military cyber attack modified not only the profile of the Ukro-Boeing.
The Ukrainian pilot made a U-turn as well.
So the cyber attack may have also targeted the Boeing’s navigation system. The Americans have done this many times before.
And Ukraine has admitted publicly that usually that flight is filled with Ukrainians who do work for Iran. The fact that it had mostly Iranians & Canadian/Iranians is very unusual.
Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, Commander of #IRGC Aerospace Force, & Ali Abedzadeh, Head of #Iran's Civil Aviation Organization, are two individuals directly responsible for the shoot-down of Flight #PS752 of #Ukraine Intl Airlines & the death of 176 innocent people on 8 January 2020.
According to the Amman-based Al Hadath newspaper and other Arab media sources, Brigadier General Hajj Amir Ali (above left) was killed in December 2019, in strikes near Damascus.
Some American officials claim that the US has managed to infiltrate Iran’s missile systems and disrupt them.
The New York Times reported that the Trump White House has accelerated a secret American program to sabotage Iran’s missiles and rockets, according to current and former administration officials.
According to the New Yorker, the Trump Organisation was a partner with a company, called Azarpassillo, which was a front for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, used to evade sanctions by laundering money into Iran.
'Israeli asset' Bellingcat has received film of the plane being hit in Iran?
Bellingcat's informant just happened to see something in the sky.
The informant took a camera out, turned it on, and started filming, BEFORE the hit?
How the media went from engine failure to blaming Iran for shooting down its own ppl, was a masterful propaganda coup deflecting from the retaliation.
If only they had that much talent in 1988 when the US navy shot down an Iranian plane. #IranPlaneCrash
Rouhani studied at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland, graduating in 1995.
When Robert C. McFarlane, Reagan's national security adviser, came to Tehran in May 1986, Rouhani was one of the three people who talked to McFarlane about buying weapons.
Following this, Zarif continued his studies at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver, from which he obtained a second M.A. in international relations in 1984 and a Ph.D. in international law and policy in 1988.[14][15]
"Iran's foreign minister, Zarif, spent twenty years in the US."
Raheleh and Mikael Lindberg, 37 and 40, were killed along with their two young sons Erik, nine, and Emil, seven, after the Boeing 737 burst into flames following take-off from Tehran
"Early estimates indicate heavy US casualties in Iran's missile attack on US bases in Iraq," an IRGC (Iranian) Intelligence Department source said.
"According to the reports sent by our sources in the region to this moment, at least 80 US army personnel have been killed and around 200 others wounded."
Trump visiting the al-Asad airbase in Iraq in December 2018.
On 7 January 2020, two US bases in Iraq were targeted by Iran in missile attacks.
"The Iraqis, the Canadians and the Norwegians say they suffered no casualties, and the US is saying 'so far so good'.
"This bolsters the idea that Iran carefully designed this strike to satisfy its domestic audience that Qassem Suleimani’s death had been publicly avenged while also providing room for the US not to respond and to de-escalate the conflict."
Iranian very modest (and de facto symbolic) retaliation was a way to end the dispute and give the US a chance to de escalate.
Again #Iran wins on pragmatism and diplomatic vision 1 million to zero over the US. The war can be over, if the US want.
7 January 2020 - Iran threatened to unleash attacks in Haifa, Israel, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, if the United States retaliated after ballistic missiles hit U.S. military bases in Iraq.
"Iran is warning that if there is retaliation for the two waves of attacks, their 3rd wave will destroy Dubai and Haifa," tweeted NBC News Tehran bureau chief Ali Arouzi.
"Iran making threats of mass escalation," wrote NBC foreign chief correspondent Richard Engel. "To attack more bases in Iraq. To unleash Hezbollah. To unleash shiite militias in Iraq. To attack Israel and Dubai. Making it clear it is ready for a [widespread] campaign if this escalates further with a US response."
On 29 November 2019, after weeks of violent protests, Mahdi announced that he would resign his post.[16][17] The Iraqi parliament approved his resignation on 1 December 2019. However, he will continue on in a caretaker role until parliament approves a full-time replacement.[18][19]
Asadollah Asgaroladi (3 March 1934 – 13 September 2019) was an Iranian business magnate, with business interests in exports, banking, real estate and healthcare.[1]
Asadollah Asgaroladi had an estimated wealth in excess of $9 billion.
Habibollah Asgaroladi, of Jewish origin.
Habibollah Asgaroladi (1932 – 2013) was the leader of the Islamic Coalition Party, a highly influential conservative political party in Iran.[1] He was also a two time presidential candidate.
He spent many years at the forefront of the Iranian cabinet, serving as both Secretary of State for Social Security, Minister for Economy, Trade and Commerce as well as heading up the Homeland Security Agency and intelligence services in Iran.
Iran is said to have lots of Crypro-Jews in top positions.
Are the Israelis, certain top Iranians, and the CIA all planning to break up Iran?
Reportedly, the Ayatollah Khomeini worked for MI6 and the CIA.
He "was neither born (in Iran) nor had any Persian blood in his veins at all, paternally or maternally."
In the early 1960s, Khomeini began to plot against the Shah. By becoming an Ayatollah, his life was saved.
Where is Suleimani now?
Reportedly, in 1979, Khomeini was flown from France to Tehran, with the help of MI6.
Radio Free Iran claimed that while at Qom, the Ayatollah Khomeini received a "monthly stipend from the British, and he is in constant contact with his masters, the British."
Dr. Coleman (Hierarchy) wrote that in 1980 the broadcasts of Radio Free Iran divided the enemies of the Shah into four categories: 1. Iranian politicians bought by the Israeli Shin Bet, 2. The CIA's network of agents, 3. The feudal landowners, 4. The Freemasons and their friends the Muslim Brotherhood .
On February 1st, 1979, two weeks after the Shah's departure, Khomeini made a triumphant return to Iran. The BBC's John Simpson was on the plane that carried him back from Paris.
General Qassem Soleimani provided Iran's Foreign Ministry with documents proving US support for ISIS, Iranian media has reported.
"For instance, Amir-Abdollahian recalled that while Mosul, Iraq was still under ISIS occupation, 'an American A330 transport plane landed in Mosul Airport; American generals got off the plane and military equipment was unloaded'." Iranian General Wants to 'Slap West in Face' With Proof of US ...
"In 1995, UN officials estimated that economic sanctions had directly contributed to the deaths of at least a half-million Iraqi children, under age 5.
"The economic war continued for nearly 13 harsh and horrible years."
Qassem Soleimani was in Iraq to negotiate a de-escalation in tensions, according to the Iraqi prime minister.
Adel Abdul Mahdi, Iraq's prime minister, told his parliament, on 5 January 2020, that President Trump called him to ask for help in mediating with Iran.
Christian Anti-ISIS leader @ChaldeanRyan: If some forget their debt to #QassemSoleimani we [the Christians] will not forget .. he had a role in Iraq in defeating ISIS and liberating our land
Soleimani's car was attacked very close to the airport.
The Air Traffic Control`s Tower / Approach radars, monitoring continuously the airspace over, in, and around the airport, must have detected the drone, long before it attacked the cars.
In a country basically still at war, I would assume, the authorities would have anti-aircraft weapons available in order to deal with unidentified threats.
Non-intervention in that case means, that part of the Iraqi authorities were complicit in the attack.
At least on one side of the visible road, we can see buildings with many bright lights.
Even at night, there is always some car / truck traffic (traffic changing lanes, passing each other etc) to and from important airports. It seems to me extremely difficult, if not downright impossible to clearly identify a moving target in these conditions.
The footage of the incidence shows a totally destroyed and burning car wreck after the attack, but as always with US / Israel / NATO evidence, we see a practically intact hand with an oversized ring, as irrevocable prove that Soleimani had been killed.
Horatio Bottomley published a letter, dated 14 April 1914, which was from wealthy Jews in Britain, to Jews of Salonika in Greece.
The wealthy Jews offered £2000, equivalent to over £180,000 today, to fund the assassination of Austrian Habsburg heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand.
So, why did Horatio Bottomley then promote the war, if he thought it was based on a false flag?
"It is likely that the event that triggered the current bout of escalation was ... the joint naval drill conducted by Russia, China and Iran starting on the same date in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean."

There is a belief that such people as Soleimani, Hitler, Gadhaffi, Saddam, and Osama all worked for the Kosher Nostra, which makes use of Freemasonry.
There is a belief that General Soleimani's initial job was to keep the war industries booming.
"Maybe a good time to recall Aangirfan's posts, about how the 1979 Islamic revolution under Khomeini that installed Iran's current polity, seems to have been sponsored by Western intelligence agencies...
"In the 1990s US President Bill Clinton was 'impeached' to force him to make war on Serbia...
"Now, conflict with Iran and middle east war, is a distraction from the US impeachment of Donald Trump and the Israeli indictment of Benjamin Netanyahu.
"Is pushing leaders to make war, once again the motive for 'impeachment' and 'indictment'?
"Those who know of such things in advance, could position themselves to profit handsomely from market reactions to events..."
The official 9/11 commission report found there was “no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the 9/11 attack”.
'Soleimani's body' was identified using a ring that he wore.
After the attack, on the night of 2 January 2020 (US time), several planes with U.S. service members took off from bases in the eastern United States.[34] According to online plane tracking software, they traveled due east, with U.S. Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers concurrently taking off from RAF Mildenhall in the UK.[35]
#Trump's killing of #Suleimani will benefit no-one except arms dealers and grandstanding politicians. The Iranian and US governments use each other's military aggression to justify their own.
Body double?
'Iranian General Qassem Soleimani', above, who was 'trying to defeat ISIS', 'has been assasinated by Trump, at Baghdad airport'.
Soleimani has died several times, including in a 2006 airplane crash in northwestern Iran and a 2012 bombing in Damascus that killed top aides of Assad.
"Following 9/11, Ryan Crocker, a senior State Department official in the United States, flew to Geneva to meet with Iranian diplomats who were under the direction of Soleimani with the purpose of collaborating."

It is the most stupid thing Trump could possibly do.

“The very people demanding action against Iran tonight...are the very same ones demanding that you ignore the invasion of America now in progress from the South.”
“They’re liars, they don’t care about you, they don’t care about your kids.”
Escalating crisis. Iraqis stormed US embassy because because US bombed and killed anti ISIS fighters. US blamed embassy incident on Iran and killed commander of Iranian Rev Guard. Will Iranians retaliate and give Israel its wish, a war fought by the US?

1. ISRAEL
Trump says:
"Israel, our great friend and the one true Democracy in the Middle East, has been snubbed and criticized by an Administration that lacks moral clarity.
"Just a few days ago, Vice President Biden again criticized Israel - a force for justice and peace - for acting as an impediment to peace in the region.
"President Obama has not been a friend to Israel. He has treated Iran with tender love and care and made it a great power in the Middle East – all at the expense of Israel, our other allies in the region and, critically, the United States."
2. MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

"Our nuclear weapons arsenal - our ultimate deterrent - has been allowed to atrophy and is desperately in need of modernization and renewal.

"And then there's ISIS... Their days are numbered...
"We even had an opportunity to take out Osama Bin Laden, and didn’t do it.
"And then, we got hit at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the worst attack on our country in its history."
4. BOOTS ON THE GROUND
Trump says:
"Containing the spread of radical Islam must be a major foreign policy goal of the United States.
"Events may require the use of military force."
