English version of the previous post: "Potere contro potere".
- Benito Mussolini, 1944, on the attitudes of the Italian people.
The network is beautiful because is free. You can hardly conceal the information contained in it. It is precisely for this reason that is the worst enemy of the government policies of nations. The policy, which too often closes in on itself and tends to get dirty with mud alone, systematically fought the purity and freedom of the network. That's what is happening these days: an international organization that receives documents of a government or business anonymously, and loads them on the web, called Wikileaks, whose number one is called Julian Assange (Australian, 38 years) is charging in the network from 2007 million documents regarding current hot linked to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to the recent publication of confidential documents relating to consideration by U.S. officials on European leaders.
Despite the furore is determined mainly by those acts (Hillary Clinton rushed to Kazakhstan, into the OSCE summit, to repair the bluff), I would like to focus on situations even more alarming than just reviews related defects, and attitudes of some leaders of nations. In the Wikileaks site contains movies and unpublished documents that certificate the killing of civilians, concealment of bodies, forces prepared for killing Taliban without the need to appeal to a regular trial. Monstrosity of war. The revelation of these documents generates fear in the big nations and big industries which take benefits from the economical activity of war (Yuri Orlov, who is Nicolas Cage, in the film Lord of War, admits that "to take over the world will be the arms dealers, because others will be too busy shooting at each other." The film is also reported that the major arms suppliers are the United States, Britain, Russia, France and China and that all five are permanent members of the Board UN Security).
The press shifts the focus on political gossip. But who speaks of civilians killed by two American Apache helicopters fired in a neighborhood of New Baghdad July 12, 2007?
Certainly not Franco Frattini, Italian Foreign Minister, who would like Julian Assange captured and imprisoned as a bomber. Why? Attack on the lies? People must be active witnesses and careful operators and actions of their governments. Just so you can make the right choices and determine who does their job well and who's not. We are the masters of our representatives. They must act according to our will, in the sense that they must represent.
An international arrest warrant hanging over the head of Julian Assange. The reasons are those of rape (which he rejected, through his lawyer is sure that this is an operation designed to discredit his figure). This means that the number one of Wikileaks is wanted in 188 countries. Considered like Bin Laden. A computer journalist likened to a fundamentalist terrorist. Informative power against the destructive power.
The world looks for allegedly abusing two girls while many politicians have been accused of major crimes or corruption (I am reminded of the sad example of Italy).
Forced to take to the bush, fleeing from place to place in the world for the immense guilt of having published the documents that have enabled millions of people to realize how things go. Convicted for free information. We may not realize how serious this fact. Creates a dangerous precedent, saying loud and clear: look what happens if I reveal our secrets. We complain so much of the national information "Bavaglio laws" and we do not think that this could be a global edict against the freedom to say and tell the facts.
Dear Julian, if you had come for a day in Italy, I am glad to host you at my house.
