Thinking of our Earth, Sicily, we remember those stories made of blood and dignity of poets and peasants with the beauty of their inspiration and perspiration of their have made the front triangle of the Sun one of the most fertile lands and prosperous Mediterranean. But Sicily is also the land of pain and ignorance, the mafia and corruption, and today more than ever, rapes territorial, cultural and political. One of the greatest abuses suffered by the Sicilian people and more generally from the European one has a name, and this is Naval Air Station Sigonella. A few miles from us is the most obvious sign of colonization suffered after the end of World War II. But it's just as close to us or that we know. The numbers speak for themselves: with figures updated to 2007 U.S. forces in Italy have something like 2,000 owned buildings, 1,100 apartment buildings, 4,500 civilian employees and 15,500 employees in 113 soldiers on military bases. In short, a state that enjoys the nominal sovereignty of the people affected by more than 60 years, the covert U.S. military occupation, only sometimes covered by the false banner of Nato. Far from being at odds with this status quo came a few months Reports that the Sigonella base will house 20-unmanned Global Hawk UAV, thereby fulfilling an agreement between the top secret colony-Italy and the U.S. concluded in April 2008 aimed to obey U.S. dictates, the voice of the magazine "Defense News, "made it known that Sigonella" will become the strategic hub of the Global Hawk, "produced by transnational Northrop Grumman, a company specializing in the production of weapons of war at the highest potential so that in its official website can well boast of its products by saying casually that "Ethics and values \u200b\u200bare at the heart of the corporate identity of Northrop Grumman. They are neither marginal nor an afterthought, define who we are and what we do "... as if to say" we have caused millions of deaths since the beginning of the Cold War to today, but we did so in full compliance with our ethics "... this statement may hold true tomorrow, as a confession for years and years massacres go unpunished? There would be nothing strange - so to speak! - If these aircraft were not considered very dangerous by the same producers who consider him 100 times more at risk of an accident than any other plane and that, in addition to this, will run through the corridors Italian aircraft currently allocated to civilian traffic despite being found the risk of such aircraft to their high sensitivity to environmental changes and interference. Precisely for this reason the transit of UAVs in the U.S. has caused serious controversy with the major groups of drivers, while in Italy ENAV ENAC, the national bodies responsible for air traffic, seems to have been bypassed. Turning to the use of these aircraft is clear that they, in addition to confess that they want to use in case of natural disasters and for purposes umaniari, engage in operations of war. In fact, with a disarming casualness Ludwig Decamps admits that they "will be critical to combat missions in the Mediterranean and in Afghanistan." However it seems, the more confirmation of the status of the colony, that the transit of UAVs, in our area would already be since 2001, and that is the beginning of the war in Afghanistan. At this point it is worth pointing out that Italy participates in Afghanistan to a "peace mission" and that, again in theory, "repudiates war as an instrument of aggression against the freedom of other peoples." What's more, without any media has thought it useful to spread this news until now, the Nobel Prize for Peace, as well as U.S. President, Barack Obama signed in July an agreement with Poland regarding the installation anti-missile system that Bush withdrew from the project in 2009, provides for the installation of a system for intercepting short-range missile according openly anti-Iranian-as confirmed by the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton-All, it's always good to point this out, on European soil and near the border with Russia that it questions the real purpose of that system, considering the absence of an Iranian threat. The project, in truth very little peace, foresees a new deployment of Patriot missiles on mobile platforms and ships in Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, Turkey, Baltic Sea and the Arctic for an initial cost in 2011 of 2.2 millions of dollars and ignoring all the protests have already taken in the Czech Republic. All too easy to draw conclusions: Europe proved to be the springboard criminal actions and warmongering U.S., Italy and the rest of the country qualify more as a vassal-states are also ready to militarize our country up to make the scene of present and future wars that do not belong to us, risking our own lives and treading on our sovereignty and dignity of people fiercely Mediterranean and, therefore, by definition free.
