On the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the twin towers, Dennis Redmont asks: what has changed?
In an interview with Sky TG24 on the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the twin towers, Dennis Redmont gave his analysis of the consequences of the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
Despite the ongoing war in Afghanistan, the West feels safer after the death of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. But has the threat of international terrorism truly gone away?
Redmont explained that though there are still active terrorist cells in existence, the threat they pose has diminished. After the bombings in Madrid and London there have been no verified attempts to launch terrorist attacks in the West: this in itself shows that the level of security is much higher than in previous years.
He concluded that attention should now be focused not on the threat of international terrorism but on the problem of a world economy in crisis.

USA: “United or Divided”?
Tuesday, April 12th, 2011 | Articles | Comments Off on USA: “United or Divided”?
“In recent years some dramatic, uneven shifts have turned the United States into a nation that’s harder to know in depth…and harder to govern. In 2011 Americans will realize their places and faces have drastically changed in the past decade”.
So Dennis Redmont wrote in an article for the Eni Oil Magazine Book.
“IT BEGINS WITH US”
Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 | Articles | Comments Off on “IT BEGINS WITH US”
US President Barack Obama has announced his intention to run for re-election.
Dennis Redmont was interviewed about the development on Radio Vaticana.
The big question was, “Who dares take him on?” In Redmont’s view, Obama’s chances for reelection are good, but external factors continue to effect the polls. Issues like Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and now Libya, and not least the state of the world economy, will continue to have unpredictable effect up until the vote in November 2012.
The annoucement of the reelection campaign came via a web clip sent to supporters on social networking sites, and posted on Obama’s official website, www.barackobama.com.
“I had a dream?” Usa Midterm elections 2010
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010 | Articles | Comments Off on “I had a dream?” Usa Midterm elections 2010
Dennis Redmont was invited to speak on the USA’s midterm elections of 2 November on La 7’s Omnibus. The result should be understood as a semi-defeat for Obama, who maintained a slight majority in the Senate, while losing the seat majority in the House of Representatives.
“The United States have found themselves in the midst of a permanent election campaign. The so-called ‘Obama referendum’ has been a protest against the serious economic crisis threatening America, rather than a lack of confirmation of the president’s mandate. Obama’s reaction should be to shuffle out some new faces, such as the emerging Rahm Emanuel, and to keep on reminding the country of the small but important successes his government has achieved.”

Is a Tea Party possible in Italy?
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010 | Articles | Comments Off on Is a Tea Party possible in Italy?
It has been suggested that Berlusconi’s beleaguered PDL party should be reformed to imitate the surging Tea Party movement in the United States. But is a ‘Tea Party’ possible in Italy?
Not exactly, says Dennis Redmont, when interviewed by the TV station, RSI’s La 1.
“Look – in America there are two big parties. In Italy there are about twenty-seven! It just wouldn’t work – plus, we mustn’t forget that Berlusconi is currently in power. He can’t hope to inspire a movement like the Tea Party, which was born in opposition.”

Marchionne, ungrateful? ‘It’s the Italian system that doesn’t work!’
Wednesday, October 27th, 2010 | Articles | No Comments
Sergio Marchionne’s interview with Fazio in the programme “Che tempo che fa” stirred much controversy. Speaking to the independent newspaper Lettera 43, Dennis Redmont noted that the CEO’s comments risked being blown out of proportion.
Rather, his comments “should come as a wake-up call, and force people to face up to reality,” said Redmont. That reality is Italy’s lack of competitiveness, the difficulties of doing business in the country, the critical employment market and the lack of guarantees from the unions. These all dissuade foreign investment. “The Italian work system does not offer flexibility, it is not based on meritocracy, and it does not invest in inovation. That is why foreign investment stays away.”

“Worry not, dearest Umbria: those threats are opportunities”
Thursday, September 30th, 2010 | Articles | No Comments
So writes Dennis Redmont in an article for the “Forum Marketing Territoriale” section of the Umbrian magazine, “Objettivo Impresa”.
Redmont, a veteran of Umbria, offers a tongue in cheek analysis of the Umbrian dilemma. This is a region in search of a new identity between financial meltdown and globalisation. By way of resolution, he invites Umbrians to participate in a healthy “regeneration” of the region.
