I am getting nervous. I am sitting on a nuclear bomb on the day when Italy is voting a referendum against the nuclear energy (and against water privatization and immunity of premier, I mean, not trifles). This is a paradox!! Fine. Let's put besides the coincidence. I am anyway sitting on a nuclear bomb. How should I feel?
Since 2 days ago the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), the biggest nuclear aircraft carrier of the world is anchored in the waters of Naples, a short stop before heading to Libya within the plan of increased military operations. In a while its planes will start bombing on Libya.
I can see the monster from my window. Since 2 days. Do you find it normal? A nuclear accident is totally excluded? How? And what if Vesuvius decides to wake up today? And waking up hits a underground fault and causes a tsunami? Are we ready to say goodbye to the gulf of Naples after thousands of deaths? An italian expert of nuclear wrote in a column today that a nuclear accident is as likely as the possibility that 7 shepherds from Afghanistan hijack a plane into a tower. But with a difference: the permanent damage of the contaminated area.
Fine. Let's assume that Vesuvius will sleep today and every component of the nuclear ship will perfectly function today. There's something else which makes me nervous. I can't stand watching a ship and tens of war planes outside my window. I can't. War planes ready to move into action. It offends my beliefs, it humiliates myself. And don't tell me that Italy signed agreements which provide that american war ships can stop in Naples, because this makes me feel ashamed to be Italian, too. In Naples is based the NATO command for the operations on Libya. Moreover, there's a NATO military base inside the perimeter of the civil airport of the city, Capodichino.
What if we start saying something? What are we waiting for?
I don't want to be colonized by Americans. I don't want to be part of the american imperialism by my turn. I don't want to offer basis for a new colonialism on North Africa. I don't want!!
Look, folks. It's not a matter of democratic majority. Like in the referendum: 50 + 1 is enough to take a decision. I don't care, understand? It's not a matter of what I would do if I had to choose. It's that I feel humiliated: how can I explain? I am forced by my principles to oppose that a nuclear aircraft carrier is anchored in the place where I live. I can't accept this. You can't oblige me to accept this, just because I am minority. To be minority in the choice to kill somebody, is called "complicity in the crime". And nobody can force me to accept to be accomplice of murders. Is it clear? How can I explain?
Enough is enough. Italy is the doormat of the empire. The threshold starts here. Americans come, clean their feet on us and then leave to conquer new peoples, new countries, new economies and, by the way, to kill thousand people.
Ah, yes, by the way. For those who still believe that the uprisings in North Africa were spontaneous, please, give a look to this video-reportage, which is summary of what I have been saying since february. I am not saying that people who revolted were manipulated, they had their full rights to revolt (and now they should have more than before) but they were largely circumvented.
WATCH HERE "THE REVOLUTION BUSINESS".
One reason more to understand what this fucking ship is meaning under my nose. It's time to move, folks!!!
I took some pictures of the CVN 77 from my window. And I found some pictures of Naples taken by the american soldiers from the CVN 77. I am watching them. They are watching me. This game since 2 days. I feel nervous. I feel humiliated. I feel provoked. That's why I am still watching them after I turned on my brain.

Tomorrow, at 3 pm italian time, altogether in the port of Naples to protest against the CVN 77.
The pictures here above were taken yesterday from my window.
