Regardless of moralistic debates on Eugenics, two bold and brilliant minds, Severino Antinori and Panos Savos, have emerged as a revival of Greco-Roman synergism.  As expected however, they have been immediately assaulted by the Anglo-Judeo Media establishment; a group which could well have been substituted by the Inquisition, or the hordes of Visigoths and Celts at the Gates of Rome or Athens. 

But most notably, aside from the determination and the confidence of these two geniuses, is  how Dr. Severino Antinori exudes in his Italianita', in the face of biased and disproportional criticism.  I would imagine that many of us within the Italian American community have been programmed by the media to cringe at such a spectacle of exaggerated Italian mannerisms.  One even might question  "this man is a scientist??? ....but he acts like what the American Media portrays as the village baker, or a Mafioso."  Even the Fox Network, had Homer Simson uttering, "Smart Italians ??? Something is wrong here".   

YES  "Homer" (Rupert Murdock), many Italians ARE in fact extremely brilliant (as if he doesn't know already) and talented indeed. In fact Italians are the reason you now eat with a fork and your ancestors have stopped grunting and painting themselves blue to howl at the moon. 

Regardless,  the more animated and emotional Dr. Antinori becomes, so increases my pride in my Italian heritage.   He is truly one of us !!!!   And as much as the globalists, the pseudo-italianists,  and the media would like us to dilute our identity,  so no-one and everyone can claim the greatness of Italy,  Antinori distinctly connects with all Italians.  The Italian American community, in particular,  is not accustomed to this overt emotional stereotype in a positive light (although the media is trying to turn it into a negative stereotype).        

Many Italian-Americans now feel it is expected of us to act in a British manner?  But look at all the great people in Italian history and I am sure you will find that most Italians have carried themselves in the same colorful and enthusiastic manner as Dr. Antinori; a manner of which the American Media has unfortunately made us ashamed.  WE ARE A COLORFUL PEOPLE AND WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF IT.  Try to imagine Michel-Angelo Buonarroti and his constant complaining to Pope Julius II, and the Popes reciprocation;  and indeed it may very well have sounded like our grandmother's kitchens in the old days.  We are speaking of Italians, both north and south,  that have not changed their mannerisms for centuries. And it is truly refreshing to view  Romano Prodi, another brilliant Italian,  leading the European Union in what the Anglo-Saxon world disparagingly considers a colorfully animated manner. 

Even with Dr. Antinori, an absolutely brilliant man, gesticulating and waving his arms, not ashamed to speak broken English, so much reminding me of my own relatives. A very Italian person indeed. An olive skinned man who looks completely Italian in the real world, like my own people, as incidentally does Panos Savos, a Greek who could easily pass for one of my uncles.  As the Greeks say of Italians "ilia fatsa, ilia ratsa." (same face, same race). And Italians typically reciprocate in an almost identical manner. 

It is time for Italians,  as well as our Greek brethren to roost indeed.   As much as the Media tries to discredit and to spin these two scientists,  the world cannot avoid their greatness, despite the controversy surrounding it. 

But look at the spectacle that is being created. I can't imagine that the media would mount such an assault if these men where from England or Israel. In fact the castigation of these scientists,  is all too reminiscent of people such as Galileo and the many other geniuses (many of them Italian) declared as heretics, prior to the Renaissance. 

And fortunately neither Steven Spielberg nor Ridley Scott can render these great men to be physically Anglo-Saxon, as they did the befreckled and fair-skinned patricians in their historical revisions such as they portray in the movie Gladiator.  This envy and inability to spin history must truly be frustrating the media in the case of these two Mediterranean brothers: Dr, Savos and Dr. Antinori.

We are actually witnessing some of the real world, rather than the vicious fiction such as the Sopranos, that Time Warner mass produces.   And it should be noted that this Media assault is a living example of what contemporary Anglo-Judeo establishment has retroactively attempted to do to all of the greatest historical achievements of Greco-Roman peoples;  discredit, obscure and ignore.  And the facts remains that what was once considered the Barbarians came to minimize the civilized peoples, manipulate their countries, emulate their engineering and art, absorbed their sciences, all while looting and burning their great cities. There is a reason that British and German museums are filled with Greco-Roman, and for that matter Egyptian, artifacts and antiquities.  What we are seeing in Antinori and Pavos, is the reemergence and acknowledgment of inherently brilliant cultures, who in the New World have been maligned and trivialized to a level of "whatsamata fa you" and "cheeburger... cheeburger…. no Coke…Petsi !
