Calabria, la pattumiera sicura



Adesso improvvisamente tutti scoprono che la Calabria è la pattumiera sicura, dove seppellire negli abissi marini carichi di veleni, rifiuti tossici fatti scomparire insieme alle navi a perdere. Adesso tutti fanno la corsa a svelare misteri d'Italia, si affannano a parlare di 'ndrangheta e servizi segreti ma chi ha fatto saltare il tappo, chi ha pagato con la propria vita è stata Ilaria Alpi la giornalista di Rai Tre uccisa in Somalia. Even in Somalia, a land far from Calabria and yet share the same business, the same hands have handled, and perhaps even manage illegitimate so now at this moment I want to present here a piece I wrote for Time Calabria in 2006 where they were already given some belpaese of this dirty business.

continue the mysteries that accompany the death of Ilaria Alpi, the TG3 journalist killed in Mogadishu (Somalia), with its operator March 20, 1994. And now after many years, in fact, it turns out now that the sealed envelope containing the documents of investigation of Commander De Grazia, who was investigating the ships laden with toxic waste and international trade had been breached cha and documents were missing from it as much as 10 carpette. In these carpette there had to be the certificate of death of Ilaria Alpi found by De Grazia in October 1995 between the number of documents seized in May of that year in Garlasco (Pavia) in the house of Giorgio Comerio. He found document that evidences the relationship between the warlord Ali Mahdi and the same Comerio, reports dating back to June 1994. Among them was therefore also a photocopy of the certificate of death of the journalist. The discovery aroused the attention of investigators, which was provided for the immediate translation of faxes seized at Comerio, which shows that it offered to Somali warlord Ali Mahdi five thousand German marks for each sinking of containers full of waste system (Drone). After these facts are confirmed by the investigation that it was intentional sinkings, the magistrate Francesco Blacks sent to the jurisdiction of Ilaria Alpi investigation documents to the public prosecutor of Rome (Dr. Pitittto) and the investigation leading to the Prosecutor's Office Reggio Calabria on 27/06/1996. Alberto Cisterna, the prosecutor in Reggio Calabria, had assigned the investigation after failing to find the Rigel sunk off Cape Spartivento require the collection, accepted by the magistrate, Adriana Costabile. So the magistrate Blacks knew what he had found and De Grazia also knew that the Prosecutor's Office of Reggio Calabria had been established with the minutes of "affixing and removal" of seals that the sealed envelope containing the documents of investigation of Commander De Grazia had been breached and it was missing and that the documents had been found also ensured No 3806 sent on 20.8.1996 to the Public Prosecutor at the Court of Rome. He himself, in fact, before being denounced by President Taormina 12 May 2005 the Commission had reported its findings to Taormina and the President. On 18 January 2005 it was heard by the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into the death of Ilaria Alpi, chaired by Carlo Taormina. At that time Blacks confirmed as reported in the previous hearing, and narrated the whole overview of the survey. Blacks, showed that the documents concerning the relationship between Ali Mahdi and Comer had been sent to the reporting of Rome and PM are not currently in possession of the documents mentioned, requested the President to make the acquisition at the prosecutor in Reggio Calabria, where procedural documents were kept in less than 43 sealed envelopes. Envoys from the Parliamentary Committee came to Reggio Calabria not find the documents cited by Dr. Blacks. President Carlo Taormina in Italy then share in the transmission of force on 15.04.2005 to the Public Prosecutor of Rome, because of the Magistrate Reggino proceeded against for the crime of perjury. It happened, however, that the Hon. Taormina committed a procedural error. In fact at the hearing on Dr. Blacks, swear it was in breach of Article. 13 third paragraph of the Commission's Rules, which prohibits senior state judges in charge of the proceedings concerning the same facts that are the subject of the investigation to take the oath. The public prosecutor of Rome on December 20, 2005 to formulate requests for storage because it had been violated that principle which governs the meetings of the hearing of witnesses before the Commission. The magistrate in Rome on 20 January 2006 decree issued against Dr. storage Blacks. Meanwhile the Attorney the Republic of Reggio Calabria Anthony Catanese was limited only to inform the Commission that it had been found and the insured's death certificate showing the transmission of documents to the Prosecutor of Rome. All this adds mystery to a magistrate sent by the insured: the chronological number of the insured would have been issued to the Public Prosecutor of Rome is dated incomprehensible chronologically with the dates of the other insurer, number 3810, 3812, 3814 and sent on 29 June 1996. 3806 for which the insurer has not been sent on 06.29.1996 to as erroneously certified by the Registry. And referring to the guaranteed Protocol 125/96 can not be referred to the other insurer protocollo 125/96 Esecuzioni Penali. A riprova il protocollo 125/96 si riferisce per come attestato dai registri della Procura come documento in entrata e non in uscita, per cui l’assicurata rinvenuta non potendo riferirsi al protocollo 125/96 e a quello 125/ Esecuzioni Penali non può che essere quella comprovante la trasmissione degli atti da parte del Dr. Neri alla Procura di Roma

Donne d'onore


C'è una Calabria che vive nel segno della violenza, della sopraffazione e della morte. Una Calabria dove tutto, proprio tutto, è vissuto dentro il clan, with unwritten rules that govern the lives of men, women and children. Who dares to go against the clan, who dares to defy the rules, who breaks the circle, paying his choice in the blood. Who is in is in, those who are against it and against those who called out? Who do you call out against it. The rules do not allow mafia transgressions and obedience are well aware of the women of the 'Ndrangheta, more suspended between honor and freedom.
But the women of the 'Ndrangheta often, too often, accept in silence the culture of hatred and death, because it means breaking the cycle betray fathers, brothers, husbands. The men are well aware of the Holy buckets and they know that even judges can not count, to defeat the cosche calabresi sul ruolo importante dei pentiti, una figura rarissima ancor di più tra le donne. Dalla Dda di Reggio Calabria è partita però una offensiva senza precedenti. L'obiettivo è colpire quel reticolato parentale che ha consentito alle cosche calabresi di diventare "la componente più pericolosa della criminalità organizzata in Italia". Sotto tiro le complicità familiari, a cominciare da quelle che le donne assicurano ai boss latitanti.
"Le donne non sono solo consapevoli, ma condividono appieno il disegno mafioso e partecipano alla realizzazione del programma criminale" afferma Natina Pratticò, il gip che tra i 51 provvedimenti restrittivi emessi per la strage del 15 agosto 2007 a Duisburg, in Germania, ha firmato 8 precautionary measures for many women accused of criminal association or aiding and abetting. "The wife of fugitive bosses is the alter ego of the head, it actually takes place," said the deputy prosecutor Joseph Lombardo.
women of honor, then, as Concetta Romeo, that "a 'ngrisa" died a few days ago in prison. Concetta, 55 years from October 15 to take the next was the widow of Rocco Gioffre and his role as a woman of the 'Ndrangheta was first suggested by the police who have apprehended during Operation Artemis, where the challenge the' provocation to make an ambush and then the active role, following the moves of the victim and taking pole at the stage but now they said their family members in funeral manifesto posted on the streets of Seminara, as is still the land of the South, wanted to make known the strength of this woman and membership as well as the name in bold black and the recognized the title of honorary woman.

How Much Time Off Work With Chest Infection

Donne oltre l'uscio di casa in terra di 'ndrangheta


During my journey I have always dealt with women and their role, marginalization and emancipation. In trying to understand this I met a great sociologist at the University of Calabria, Renate Siebert (now retired) and with whom we have spoken several times. From all of this is born on its contribution to the silence addition, calendar diary born out my desire to not spend more to watch and contribute in my small way, to change what it too Plata, land mafia and conflict.
Here is the text of his contribution, it was March of 2004.

Mafia - but today we talk more and more of the Mafia - is a very particular form of crime. Saying no becomes a difficult task, is likely to endanger every time their lives and those of relatives and friends. The "territorial sovereignty" is a wild form of the totalitarian rule in the public sphere that extends beyond the front door. The mafia invades privacy, s'insinua nelle relazioni intime, fa da padrone anche nella vita quotidiana.
Questa caratteristica conferisce alla presenza femminile in ambito mafioso una particolare rilevanza. Per molto tempo il ruolo delle donne nell'universo mafioso è stato sottovalutato, sia per quanto concerne le effettive responsabilità criminali che nascono, il più delle volte, da complicità sentimentali e parentali, sia per quanto riguarda il ruolo svolto da donne nella lotta contro la mafia, come testimoni, come accusatrici, come cittadine che chiedono giustizia. Proprio perché il controllo sociale sul territorio e sui suoi abitanti riveste quella centralità per il potere mafioso, le donne, nei fatti, svolgono ruoli molto importanti. Nell'interesse Mafia as wives, mothers or daughters of men of the clans are important mediators between the "world apart" mafia and the daily routine "normal" and their presence, as well as contributing to territorial control, ensures continuity: the children go to school, especially religious and secular rituals that go public, "met", the business should be sent forward, especially if men are in prison or absconded. As was recently pointed out, women play a mafia 'underground centrality "of the overall strategy of the mafia crime and many have now demands a more stringent penalty against them.
However, the forte espressività emotiva che leggiamo nei volti femminili di molte foto che ritraggono scene legate alla mafia, il viso incredulo, le mani congiunte – oltre a rimandare ad una ritualità tradizionale – denota un elemento di verità che ha a che fare con le caratteristiche stesse della mafia: nonostante la cupa e angosciosa presenza di morte, nonostante l'ostentata virilità degli uomini di mafia che impongono di reprimere i sentimenti per meglio adempiere al proprio ruolo di assassini, le donne non sembrano disposte a rinunciare ai sentimenti. Ed è questo lato del femminile che rende pericolose, potenzialmente, tutte le donne agli occhi degli uomini di mafia. Di nessuna donna, fino in fondo, ci si può fidare. In ogni donna, somewhere, a mother living soul which, when touched in the deepest suffering through death and bereavement, to throw out all the secrets, oaths, the threads that hold together the death of the Company of Men Honored Mafia. The woman, as a potential mother, in their eyes is a danger that is exorcised through, first, the contempt for women and, through the petrification of the figure of the "mother of my children" in a sort of devitalized monument. Women with the mafia, women against the Mafia. In the history of the struggle against the Mafia women have always been present. As single women in the courts, as the peasant movement activists and trade union as citizens linked to the values \u200b\u200band democratic rights, as family members of victims of mafia violence. And as mothers can pass on to their children the love and enjoyment of life and society beyond the strict family: an openness to others and trust in themselves and in themselves are contrary with the climate of violence, paranoia and lack of communication that the activity that produces and settles mafia and perpetuates the mentality of its affiliates.
Finally, there is one aspect that touches all the women: where the freedom and rights are overshadowed by the presence of Mafia domination, emancipation is blocked. Women, increasingly, is granted of criminal activity, to manage business and temporarily replace their men. But what distinguishes, or better that provides the basis for empowerment, development of its own subjectivity - namely the ability to say "I" and to say "no" - is strictly prohibited dall'ordinamento mafia. "Freedom of Fear," a constitutional right in some countries, it sounds like a utopia, especially where the pressure is felt mafia. Conversely, this dream sums up an ideal of civil society to which the socialization of children should aim for. This dream speaks to women?

Fondant Recipe That Taste Good

Salviamo I Siciliani


We can not pretend nothing has happened, we can not stand by and watch the newspaper Pippo Fava be silenced again and this time at the hands of a bankruptcy order. Twenty-five years have passed since they have murdered Pippo Fava in Catania, now it is time for the whole of Italy is on the side of I Siciliani
the appeal is signed by the journalists of The Sicilian:
After the assassination of mobster Joseph Fava, the January 5, 1984, the editors of The Sicilians chose not to disperse, to keep open the newspaper and to continue for many years, the news cooperative was founded by its director, addressing a very hard time of sacrifice in the name of fighting the Mafia and the freedom of information. Years of personal risks, salaries (ever) paid, concrete institutional solitude (not a page of advertising for five years). Today, a quarter of a century after the death of Fava, some of them (Graziella Proto, Elena Brancati, Claudio Fava, Venice Lillo and Rosario Lanza, then members of the board of the cooperative) are in danger of losing their homes to the tenacity of a sentence of failure that presents itself - five years later - to claim the debts due to the poor of the cooperative. The precept of the attachment has already been notified, without bothering to wait even appeal the ruling. Paradoxically, the main creditor, the IRCAC is regional body dissolved for years.
is clear that this is not personal events: the drafting of The Sicilian in those years is much more than itself, in an extremely difficult and risky. By themselves, these young journalists gave voice heard loud and honest to Sicily, to the tens of thousands of Sicilians who were not resigned to living with the Mafia. Their wrong was to not give way to grief at the death of the director, not to close the newspaper, not to accept easy and convenient fold professional but to go forward. That wrong consistency by the bankruptcy court that is now almost one hundred thousand euro, including interest, costs and more. One hundred thousand euro that justice Catania, with embarrassing persistence, now wants to cash in the hands of bailiffs. There will be times and places to explore this matter, to probe the reasons and mechanisms that are beyond us. Now there is to save our houses have already foreclosed. One of these, for the record, is that he was born and now Giuseppe Fava, inherited by his children, has already come under the seals. One way to combine the price of even the death of the joke. Giuseppe Fava
