The secret of the week: MAFIA

 

Here is the hidden meaning of the word MAFIA, the shadow hand of power: Mazzini Autorizza Furti, Incendi, Assassinii (or Avvelenamenti). Mazzini authorizes robberies, arsons, assassinations (poisoning). Indeed, to prepare his landing in Sicily (August 11, 1870), Mazzini -the founding father of the Italian Republic- creates a secret organization the Oblonica (Obelus/dagger and nico/I signal). And as usual, he organized a secret group within the Oblonica whose members were called Mafiusi (word used for the first time in 1875). 1870 is moreover the date of appearance of the Mafia in the USA, an organization named "the black hand".

Well, well, "the black hand".

Augustin Cochin, French historian (1876-1916) specialized in the French Revolution, wrote in his work Les Sociétés de pensée et la démocratie (Plon Edition, 1921): "Alongside visible societies, narrower and more secret groups are formed, charged with direct action. They allow authority to act without appearing and to free itself from all responsibility."

You will find information concerning the Oblonica and the "Mafiusi" in Charles William Heckethorn's key work: The Secret Societies of All Ages and Countries published in 1875. Furthermore, the parliamentary inquiry of 1875–1876 is summarized in the Franchetti & Sonnino report (1877) which concludes: "The Mafia is not simple criminality, but a parallel power organization."

As I have often explained, to lead goats in the mountains, one must alternate left/right and have good dogs that know how to bite when necessary. The MAFIA, yet another secret organization of the Republic…
