Roberto Abraham Scaruffi: The "innovative" mayor of Naples, the ex-prosecutor, is actively cooperating with the garbage-export mafias!!! ...It is the same city of the President of the Republic...

The "innovative" mayor of Naples, the ex-prosecutor, is actively cooperating with the garbage-export mafias!!!
...It is the same city of the President of the Republic...

L'ultima di de Magistris:
no ai termovalorizzatori 
i rifiuti spediti all'estero 

ore 15:48
Il sindaco di Napoli: "Entro il fine settimana i rifiuti andranno all'estero". Nessuna indiscrezione sul Paese straniero per timore di "sabotaggi". E poi ribadisce: "Non servono termovalorizzatori, Napoli sarà autonoma"
Il sindaco Renzi rottama
pure i suoi dipendenti:
sono peggio di Fantozzi

ore 19:19

Renzi contro i dipendenti comunali: "Timbrano alle 14 e già un quarto d’ora prima sono in coda col cappotto, pronti per uscire". La risposta della Rsu: "E' ora che cresca". Ma lui: "Il sindacato è l'organizzazione più lontana dalla mia generazione"

We are all occupied by Israel's army because we are, as Zunes notes, "trapped in an early 20th century colonial mindset".

One of the preoccupations of the Murdoch media empire has been to promote Islamophobia by advancing false and Israeliocentric interpretations of 9/11. A good example of this high-level fraud was put on public display with News Corporation's recent publication of Jonathan Kay's Among the Truthers. Does the Murdoch media empire's central role in promoting the 9/11 Wars help explain News Corporations' policing activities as a center of surveillance on the families of the 9/11 victims?

MoviSol - Movimento Internazionale per i Diritti Civili - Solidarietà
Newsletter n. 28/2011
Teleconferenza di Lyndon LaRouche
Appuntamento in rete con Lyndon LaRouche: il 21 luglio, alle ore 19:00, su larouchepac.com o su movisol.org.
I lettori possono inviare sin d'ora una domanda a LaRouche, sia in inglese sia in italiano.
Anticostituzionalità della rete di salvataggio della UE
Il 5 luglio la Corte Costituzionale tedesca ha tenuto un'udienza pubblica sui due ricorsi contro l'adesione del governo di Berlino alle politiche di salvataggio europee. I ricorsi sono quelli presentati dai famosi "cinque professori" (Wilhelm Hankel, Wilhelm Noelling, Karl Albrecht Schachtschneider, Joachim Starbatty e Dieter Spethmann) che si sono già battuti contro l'euro in più di un ricorso costituzionale nel passato, e dal parlamentare democristiano dissidente Peter Gauweiler, rappresentato dal giurista Dieter Murswiek. La Corte ha ascoltato i ricorrenti e quattro rappresentanti del governo e del parlamento che hanno difeso i salvataggi.
Le oltre sette ore di dibattimento hanno rivelato che il governo e la maggioranza parlamentare della Germania hanno apparentemente sposato le tesi del famigerato Carl Schmitt, che ottant'anni fa formulò la dottrina secondo cui "un'emergenza crea nuovi poteri e nuove leggi". Schmitt così preparò il terreno al golpe dei nazisti, che nel 1933 giustificarono la dittatura con il "bisogno di agire contro l'emergenza e le minacce". Durante tutto il corso del dibattimento, la fazione filo-salvataggi ha fatto frequente uso di termini come "emergenza" o "estremamente pericoloso".
L'arroganza del potere degli euro fanatici è apparsa evidente quando hanno cercato fin dall'inizio di convincere la Corte a respingere il ricorso: Il ministro del Tesoro Wolfgang Schaeuble ha ammonito i giudici costituzionali che "i nervosissimi mercati finanziari osservano molto da vicino se l'Europa sia in grado di conservare fermezza", parlando di "situazioni di emergenza in cui abbiamo dovuto agire" e sostenendo che "i mercati finanziari" avrebbero potuto scatenare" un'insolvenza incontrollata" da un momento all'altro.
I ricorrenti hanno sottolineato che persino il principale consigliere economico del governo avesse condannato il salvataggio lo scorso anno, e che un'inchiesta tra oltre 200 economisti tedeschi ha visto 189 di loro votare contro e solo sette a favore del salvataggio. Nella sua risposta, il portavoce dell'esecutivo ha affermato con arroganza che il governo ha scelto di ascoltare il FMI perché questo avrebbe "la migliore esperienza" su come affrontare i problemi del debito. Lo stesso esperto in seguito si è spinto fino a negare che fosse stato violato alcun diritto democratico dei cittadini, chiedendo: "Dove sono i cittadini che protestano contro le misure di salvataggio nelle strade di Brema o Berlino? Dove sono, mi mostri quei cittadini".
Ma gli euro fanatici hanno oltrepassato il segno, costringendo il presidente della Corte, Andreas Vosskuhle, a interrompere dicendo di aver trovato "troppo ottimismo artificiale" da parte del governo e della BCE. "Che cosa ci avete detto un anno fa su come le cose avrebbero funzionato in Grecia, e invece non è stato così, e ci avete detto la stessa cosa riguardo all'Irlanda e ora al Portogallo. Che cosa dobbiamo credere? A dire il vero, sono scettico".
I ricorrenti hanno centrato il tema, attaccando il "golpe contro l'istituzionalità europea" (Schachtschneider), "un'emergenza al di sopra della legge, della costituzione e delle leggi europee", "Un criterio di emergenza che nessun tribunale può accettare" (Murswiek). Spetta alla Corte "fermare la politica UE" per proteggere i cittadini "dalla rovina dell'Unione Economica e Monetaria", ha affermato Noelling, aggiungendo che la Corte "è l'ultima istituzione in cui la popolazione abbia ancora fiducia". Schachtschneider e Murswiek hanno chiesto ai giudici di essere consci della propria responsabilità verso la costituzione, lo stato e i cittadini.
Quest'udienza è stata un avvenimento storico, una rara occasione per denunciare gli errori e la complicità del governo con le banche. Il parlamento non compie più il dovere di controllare il governo, e la Germania non dispone di uno strumento come il referendum popolare per correggere le scelte dell'esecutivo. Per quanto riguarda i media, essi in genere fiancheggiano le banche e i mercati finanziari, mostrando poca simpatia per le vittime della crisi. Perciò, la Corte Costituzionale si è dimostrata essere l'ultima spiaggia per ridimensionare gli abusi del governo e del parlamento in mano al partito euro fanatico. La sentenza è attesa per la fine di agosto o l'inizio di settembre.
USA: cresce l'abbrivio per Glass-Steagall
Continua a crescere l'abbrivio a favore della legge per reintrodurre Glass-Steagall, la separazione tra banche ordinarie e banche d'investimento, favorito in parte dall'accelerazione del crollo del sistema finanziario e dell'economia reale transatlantici. Il 7 luglio è stato introdotto un secondo disegno di legge alla Camera dei Rappresentanti dal democratico Maurice Hinchey, con cinque cofirmatari tre dei quali hanno già sottoscritto il ddl 1489 di Marcy Kaptur. È prevista l'introduzione di un testo simile al Senato entro questo mese. Mentre veniva presentata la nuova proposta di legge, altri cinque nuovi deputati hanno sottoscritto il testo della Kaptur, mentre numerosi altri hanno espresso l'intenzione di farlo.
Lyndon LaRouche ha descritto la dinamica dietro il sostegno a Glass-Steagall come un crescente spirito unitario, in cui le questioni di vita e di morte che gli Stati Uniti si trovano ad affrontare stanno cominciando a spezzare l'anello di corruzione settaria che ha rovinato gli USA negli ultimi quarant'anni, particolarmente dalla morte di John e Robert Kennedy. Nel suo famoso libro "Profili nel coraggio", l'allora senatore Kennedy polemizzò contro la politica di "stare con quelli che contano" regnante a Washington. Quei politici pongono da decenni la lealtà di partito al di sopra del patriottismo. Questo, ha affermato LaRouche, sta ora finendo. La cartina al tornasole sarà un passaggio bipartisan, a prova di veto, della legge Glass-Steagall in entrambi i rami del Congresso, che ristabilirà il ruolo di quest'ultimo e salverà gli Stati Uniti dalla disintegrazione economica nelle prossime settimane.
Un ex presidente regionale della Federal Reserve con decenni di servizio ha riferito questa settimana che egli, come LaRouche, vede i mesi di luglio e agosto come "l'ultima grande opportunità" per Glass-Steagall. Egli ha notato che la battaglia tra il Presidente Obama e i legislatori repubblicani sulla questione del tetto al debito pubblico e i tagli al bilancio finirà col decimare i resti dell'economia americana. L'unico rimedio è il passaggio immediato di Glass-Steagall per revocare le decine di trilioni di dollari di salvataggi bancari finiti nel buco nero di Wall Street e nelle banche e negli hedge funds offshore, e iniziare l'espansione del credito nell'economia reale per finanziare infrastrutture e veri posti di lavoro produttivi.
L'impegno di Obama, per conto dei suoi proprietari a Wall Street e Londra, alla distruzione delle ultime vestigia della rete di sicurezza sociale di Roosevelt sta sciogliendo gli ultimi dubbi a favore di Glass-Steagall. Nella prima settimana di luglio, Obama ha fatto chiaramente capire di essere pronto a demolire la Social Security (pensioni) e Medicare (mutua) come parte dell'accordo con i repubblicani. Dopo aver già cancellato i programmi di volo spaziale umano della NASA, la cocciutaggine di Obama a voler salvare Wall Street e Londra sulle spalle del popolo americano ha smosso anche i più fedeli sostenitori del partito democratico, come il sindacato dell'automobile UAW, che ha lanciato un appello alla mobilitazione per fermare l'attacco a Social Security e Medicare.
Già il sindacato dei "machinists" (che da noi sarebbero i metalmeccanici) ha appoggiato la proposta di legge 1489, e così hanno fatto diverse federazioni locali dell'AFL-CIO. La mobilitazione dell'UAW è di buon auspicio affinché l'intero movimento sindacale faccia sentire la sua voce nella battaglia per Glass-Steagall.
Salvare la civiltà dal precipizio
La conferenza dello Schiller Institute che ha riunito 400 partecipanti da almeno quindici paesi per due giorni a Rüsselsheim il 2 e 3 luglio è stato un evento straordinario. Al di là dell'ampiezza dei temi, il filo conduttore è stato la necessità di ribaltare l'attuale collasso economico dando vita ad un vasto Rinascimento scientifico e culturale.
Ciò che colpisce è l'ampio spettro di relatori, tutti convinti, nel proprio campo, che il sistema attuale stia conducendo la civiltà sull'orlo del precipizio e che sia giunto il momento di battersi per cambiare le cose. Anche se è impossibile cogliere il senso dei lavori della conferenza in una newsletter, in particolare lo spirito di ottimismo che è emerso, diamo qui un sunto dei temi, invitando gli abbonati a seguire il più possibile i discorsi completi e la discussione sui siti movisol.org e larouchepac.com.
La missione dell'Europa: grandi progetti per sviluppare l'Africa
Jacques Cheminade, candidato presidenziale francese, ha spiegato nel suo intervento i molti paradossi sulla prospettiva di una nuova politica di sviluppo. Alle condizioni di crollo attuale, sembra assurdo candidarsi alla Presidenza, dato che la politica francese è dominata da un'elite oligarchica che stabilisce le regole del gioco.
Quello che va fatto, ha detto, nel contesto delle elezioni, è sconfiggere il cuneo che è stato creato dai britannici tra Europa ed America col "fucile a canna doppia" di Glass-Steagall e dello sviluppo industriale dell'Africa. Con grande umorismo Cheminade ha illustrato ai presenti le tante obiezioni che vengono rivolte alla sua candidatura, che viene generalmente respinta come "utopistica" e "impopolare". Oggi, ha detto, "l'impopolarità è la precondizione per una campagna presidenziale. Ha ridicolizzato coloro che lo accusano di non rispettare le "tradizioni francesi" il che significa i simili degli autocrati Luigi XIV e Napoleone.
Il test per la Francia e l'Europa oggi, ha insistito Cheminade, sta nel garantire l'indipendenza e lo sviluppo industriale dei paesi africani. Ma invece di sviluppare il Maghreb, l'Europa bombarda la Libia, e sogna di installare pannelli solari nel deserto invece di inverdirlo. È nostro compito evitare gli errori degli anni Sessanta, quando le battaglie sociali in Europa non furono collegate allo sviluppo dell'Africa.
Una proposta concreta per grandi progetti simili è stata presentata dal Dott. Marcello Vichi, architetto del progetto Transaqua per l'Africa centrale, noto ai nostri lettori. Il dott. Vichi ha proiettato un film prodotto 30 anni fa dalla società Bonifica che dirigeva a quel tempo, ed ha illustrato come questo progetto preleverebbe l'acqua dal bacino del fiume Congo per immetterla nel Lago Ciad, che sta morendo, ripristinandone le dimensioni originali e creando il potenziale per svariate forme di sviluppo nella regione. Ha descritto come gli investitori sdegnano questo programma, preferendo il "ritorno al Medio Evo".
