Was Berlusconi Deployed To Putin On Behalf Of Putin's Enemies?
April 16 (LPAC)--Former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi met Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg over the weekend and made public statements accusing western media of having "blown up" and exaggerated anti-Putin protests. These statements can't be taken at face value, given Berlusconi's history, and the fact that Lyndon LaRouche has identified that Russia is the ultimate target of the international Anglo-Dutch-U.S. war party.
A leading advisor to Berlusconi's party, neocon professor Carlo Pelanda from the Universities of Milan and Georgia, wrote a commentary today in Corriere della Sera, calling for a strategy of recruiting Putin to a "three-headed eagle" composed by USA, European Union and Russia "to contain the Chinese giant". This idea is directly opposed to LaRouche's concept of the "four powers" cooperation among the U.S., based on the Franklin D. Roosevelt tradition, with Russia, China, and India to provide the basis for strategic stability.
Berlusconi, who was Putin's guest of honor at a "Mixed Fighting" sport event entitled "Russia against America", is apparently running a parallel diplomacy. He announced that he will soon meet George W. Bush. While apparently professing personal friendship to Putin, Berlusconi has been cultivating connections to Putin's enemies in Moscow. The case of poisoned former FSB agent Litvinenko in Moscow, last November, brought up intimate connections between the Berezovsky group in London and Paolo Guzzanti, a senator in Berlusconi's party Forza Italia and former chairman of a Parliament investigating committee. Guzzanti, a professed enemy of Putin's, commented Berlusconi's visit to St. Petersburg: "Berlusconi is Neapolitan in Naples and Russian in Russia".
Last week the Milan municipality, ran by Berlusconi's handpicked mayor Letizia Moratti, started a bust of chinese immigrants that raised official concerns in Bejing and has created a potential race conflict in Italy, fed by provocations coming by racist Lega Nord and neofascist extremists such as Forza Nuova.
