Il terzo à ¨ chiudere le basi. Credo che l'Italia dovrebbe fare amicizia con il pubblico degli Stati Uniti e le persone del mondo cacciando le basi statunitensi. Consiglio di mostrare ampiamente il video di CNGNN intitolato "Italy is One Big U.S./NATO Military Base".

In secondo luogo, far sapere a tutti negli Stati Uniti quanto pagano per le basi, le truppe, le armi, e le guerre correlate. Dir loro che vuoi farli risparmiare. Amano i soldi.

Terzo, far tutto il possibile per infastidire Donald Trump e spingerlo a chiedere all'Italia di pagare tasse pià ¹ elevate per il privilegio di essere occupato dalle basi statunitensi.

In quarto luogo, indagare sull'avvelenamento dell'acqua potabile vicino a ciascuna base degli Stati Uniti per sostanze chimiche permanenti cancerogene che ucciderannno per sempre e che hanno fatto ammalare e ucciso persone nelle basi degli Stati Uniti in tutto il mondo.

Questi prodotti chimici si trovano nella schiuma utilizzata per le esercitazioni di spegnimento degli incendi e gran parte del mondo utilizza alternative sicure.

In quinto luogo, assicurarsi che ogni persona in Italia sappia cosa sta pagando e che gli Stati Uniti possono combattere le loro guerre senza basi italiane o straniere perche' hanno aeroplani, ed infine sappia che gli Stati Uniti considerano l'Italia una colonia e costruiscono le loro basi e avvelenano l'ambiente senza concedere alcun diritto agli italiani, e sappia che Donald Trump pensa che siamo degli idioti, e sappia che milioni di persone negli Stati Uniti sarebbero elettrizzate se l'Italia si dichiarasse una nazione pacifica e neutrale .

A proposito, una legge approvata dalla Camera degli Stati Uniti ma non ancora dal Senato richiederebbe che ogni base straniera degli Stati Uniti sia giustificata, cioà ¨ renda in qualche modo gli Stati Uniti pià ¹ sicuri. Quindi, vi preghiamo di iniziare a preparare rapporti su ogni base che NON renda gli Stati Uniti pià ¹ "sicuri".

Questa settimana sono in viaggio per la conferenza annuale di World BEYOND War, che si terrà quest'anno in Irlanda, vicino a un aeroporto attraverso il quale le forze armate statunitensi inviano truppe e armi esclusivamente per coinvolgere l'Irlanda nelle sue guerre. Stiamo lavorando per porre fine a tale pratica e fare dell'Irlanda un modello di neutralità .

Trasmetterà ² un impegno di due frasi per aiutare a porre fine a tutta la guerra che à ¨ stata firmata in 175 paesi e che si trova su worldbeyondwar.org Si prega di firmarlo se si à ¨ d'accordo. Forse uno dei prossimi anni potremo tenere la nostra conferenza e raduno in Italia.

Italy Should Make Friends with the U.S. Public and the World By Kicking Out the U.S. Military

By David Swanson

In the late 1980s when I was a teenager and an exchange student in Bassano del Grappa I loved Italy for the same reasons I've loved it ever since, reasons that include natural and human-created and human beauty. I found Italians on average to be friendly, kind, generous, loving, fun-loving, humble, self-critical, and intelligent. It may have also helped a little that when I told other young people that I was from the U.S. they typically thought that was super cool. Older people told me that the United States had saved Italy from Nazism.

I didn't know enough to point out that the U.S. government and U.S. elites had fueled the rise of Nazism which had drawn on Wall Street funding, U.S. segregation laws, U.S. eugenics programs, U.S. camps for Native Americans, and the support of the U.S. government. I didn't know enough to point out that the notion of the United States as savior was being kept alive by the failure of the U.S. troops to ever leave Italy, but that they were in Italy for the purpose of aggressively attacking other countries for reasons that were anything but rescuing people from Nazism. I didn't know that the U.S. government had considered Russia a threat to extreme wealth, inequality, and global domination, and had viewed the Soviet Union as the primary enemy right through the rise of Nazism and Fascism, right through the war, and following.

I didn't know the U.S. left troops and saboteurs and spies behind, interfered in Italian politics, and viewed Italy from Day 1 (day 1 in U.S. culture is Pearl Harbor Day) as a piece of an empire to be imposed in the name of anti-imperialism.

I had no clue that there was more than one way for a people to be saved or to save itself. I had attended the best schools the United States had to offer, and nobody had told me that nonviolent campaigns had overthrown tyranny and even foreign occupations more successfully than violent campaigns. If Italy had been saved in some ancient time that I knew nothing of, and if that somehow explained why it was normal for there to be U.S. troops in Vicenza, who was I to question?
