Hunger Robbers for Robbery Wars, 9

Too little, too late: the posthumous “corrigendum”.
That the posthumous one is another facet of facts worth pointing out is evidenced by the many things said about that: “time is a gentleman”, but “centuries later the perception of reality becomes reality itself and that in turn becomes history”, “historical memory is written on the sand and critical spirit is a fashion of the past”, and “history is written by the winners”. That being the case, time and truth certainly meet some difficulties, hence we cannot emphasise too much how much they need our help and our willingness to “look, don’t listen”. The aforementioned terms with which the British diplomat Gladstone stigmatised Naples were related to the prison conditions, where he claimed to have met political prisoners, but these conditions were denied by diplomats from all over the world, later on the political prisoners themselves lamented the instrumentalisation, and later still finally Gladstone himself admitted that he’d never been in a Bourbonist prison and that he lied on assignment from the Prime Minister Palmerston. The member of Piedmontese parliament Pier Carlo Boggio will state that “Piedmont cannot afford delay. Why? Because there’s bankruptcy in sight. Peace now would mean for Piedmont reaction and bankruptcy.” In support of the claim that the “Risorgimento” was a war of “liberation” and “independence”, our schoolbooks won’t discuss why Austria could defeat “Italy” in marine field despite not having access to the sea? The reason is, the Venetians fought alongside Austria, not Turin; and Venetians were Italian, too. And the Freemason Pietro Borrelli wrote in the Deutsche Rundschau in October 1882, under the pseudonym of Flaminio, “Let no one in Europe think that Italian unification, to be achieved, needed an intellectual nullity such as Garibaldi. The initiates do know that all the Sicily revolution was made by Cavour, whose military emissaries, dressed as itinerant haberdashers, travelled the island and bought the most influential persons for their weight in gold.” And indeed admiral Persano in his journals shall report: “we can at this point count on the majority of the officers of the Neapolitan Royal Navy.”
