[EDIT: for some reason, this morning, one day into his new government, even before having gotten the vote at the Senate, the new Prime Minister Letta met with his first foreign leader:
Shimon Perez, president of Israel.

Issues on the agenda: ''the Iranian threat, diplomatic and economic sanctions against Iran, European involvement in the peace process and boosting relations between Israel and Italy''
Wow, not even one thing this nation cares about. http://www.ansamed.info/ansamed/en/news ... 28491.html ]
Nonho,
You may well be aware of this already - but if not, 'enjoy'...
Our fresh, new Italian PM Enrico Letta just so happens to be the current Vice President of the ASPEN Institute(Italia).
Here's its board of directors which, as you'll see, include some interesting folks - and even our former PM Mario Monti :
"Interesse Nazionale"

But let's have a brief look at the main ASPEN Institute (USA), with headquarters in Washington D.C. - to learn what this little-known 'think-tank' is all about. Wickedpedia has a nice little summary of what they do:
The Aspen Institute is an international nonprofit organization founded in 1950 as the Aspen Institute of Humanistic Studies. The organization is dedicated to "fostering enlightened leadership, the appreciation of timeless ideas and values, and open-minded dialogue on contemporary issues". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspen_Institute
That sounds pretty nice, huh? In fact, its board members include such champions of "enlightened leadership and open-minded dialogue" as Madeleine Albright and Condoleeza Rice! It's current President/CEO is one Walter Isaacson. Never heard of the guy? Here goes:
WALTER ISAACSON (brief bio)
- President/CEO of the Aspen Institute
- Former Chairman of CNN
- Former Managing Editor of TIME Magazine
- Biographer of Henry Kissinger, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs.
- 2009/2012 (appointed by Obama as) Chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which runs Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and the other international broadcasts of the U.S. government.
- Vice chairman of Louisiana Recovery Authority which oversaw spending on the recovery from Hurricane Katrina
- 2012: selected as one of the Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world
The Aspen Institute is largely funded by foundations such as the Carnegie Corporation, The Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Ford Foundation. In other words, our "fresh, new" PM Enrico Letta is very much in bed with the international globalist elite (for lack of a better term). Am I surprised? Not a tiny bit!
