<span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Della privatizzazione dell’acqua avevamo già parlato: chi volesse può (ri)leggersi<span style="color:#ff0000;"> </span><a href="http://liberthalia.wordpress.com/2008/11/28/la-guerra-dellacqua/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">“La Guerra dell’Acqua”. </span></a>Nell’articolo raccontavamo i ‘benefici’ che la gestione privata delle risorse idriche, affidata a consorzi europei, ha portato alle fortunate popolazioni di Messico e America latina.<br />
In virtù dei brillanti risultati che hanno caratterizzato le precedenti esperienze, ricordavamo come l’iniziativa abbia conquistato anche le menti eccelse della politica italiana.<br />
Comincia la ministra Lanzillotta insieme ai <em>liberalizzatori</em> del provvisorio governo Prodi. Ma a completare il lavoro, ci pensa però il governo Berlusconi, con la partecipazione straordinaria del ministro Tremonti impegnato a svendere il Paese a tranci pur di fare cassa&#8230;</span></h5>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://liberthalia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/00-waterdrop.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1196" title="00 - waterdrop" src="http://liberthalia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/00-waterdrop.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="360" /></a></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><em>I PRECEDENTI<br />
</em> <span style="color:#999999;">Nel Luglio 2006, <span style="color:#ffcc99;">Linda Lanzillotta</span>, in veste di <em>Ministro per gli Affari Regionali</em> (quota ‘Margherita’), presenta il <span style="color:#ffcc99;">Disegno di Legge n° 772</span> <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">“per il riordino dei servizi pubblici locali”</span>. Si tratta di un <em>collegato</em> alla Finanziaria 2007 controfirmato dall’allora ministro <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Pier Luigi Bersani</span> (DS), di concerto con i ministri: <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Giuliano Amato </span>(Ulivo); <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Antonio Di Pietro</span> (IdV); <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Emma Bonino</span> (Radicali). <br />
Il <a href="http://www.senato.it/japp/bgt/showdoc/frame.jsp?tipodoc=Ddlpres&#38;leg=15&#38;id=215756" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">DDL 772 </span></a>è importante perché contiene il progetto embrionale per l’affidamento ai privati di servizi fondamentali per la collettività, pur con le opportune garanzie e “fatte proprie le finalità pubbliche”.<br />
Infatti, tramontato il governo Prodi, l’ipotesi di privatizzare i servizi idrici (e non solo) viene subito ripresa da <span style="color:#ffcc99;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Giulio Tremonti</span></span>, che inzeppa il provvedimento nell’onnicomprensivo <span style="color:#ffcc99;">Decreto</span> <span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><span style="color:#ffcc99;">Legge 112 </span>del 25/06/08 </span>(ne avevamo accennato <a href="http://liberthalia.wordpress.com/2008/12/15/decreti-e-grimori/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">qui</span></a>). La successiva <span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><span style="color:#ffcc99;">Legge 133</span> del 06/08/08 </span><span style="color:#ffcc99;">(art.23bis)</span> ha reso la possibilità di privatizzare l’acqua molto più di un’ipotesi&#8230;</span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><em><a href="http://liberthalia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/01-ok.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1198" title="01 OK" src="http://liberthalia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/01-ok.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a>OGGI</em><br />
 <span style="color:#999999;">18 Novembre 2009. Con l’ennesimo ricorso al voto di fiducia, in un Parlamento cassato a bivacco fedele di <em>disciplinatissimi manipoli</em>, <span style="color:#ffcc99;">il governo Berlusconi decreta che l’acqua cessa di essere un diritto, per diventare una merce a consumo.</span> È uno strumento di lucro e come tale è in vendita.<br />
A rendere attuativa la norma che prevede la (s)vendita del nostro patrimonio idrico, ci pensa il solito ‘decreto legge’, per l’esattezza il <a href="http://www.parlamento.it/parlam/leggi/decreti/09135d.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">DL 135</span></a> (Sett.2009) concernente <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">“disposizioni urgenti per l&#8217;attuazione di obblighi comunitari”</span>.<br />
Ultimamente va di moda attribuire ogni porcata del governo ad una imprecisata volontà europea: “<em>Ce lo chiede l’Europa</em>!”<br />
Certo, come no?!? Peccato che dalla UE non ci sia mai pervenuta nessuna richiesta esplicita né vincolante in materia. In compenso, ci arrivano le <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">‘procedure di infrazione’</span> ma quelle non destano alcuna preoccupazione&#8230;<br />
In pratica, il <span style="color:#ffcc99;">DL 135/09</span> impone la privatizzazione coatta delle acque e di tutti i servizi idrici a gestione pubblica o municipalizzata, esautorando i Comuni e gli enti locali di ogni autonomia decisionale sulla questione, a prescindere sull’efficienza del servizio erogato e la solidità di bilancio.<br />
In dettaglio, con la scusa dell’<em>Adeguamento alla disciplina comunitaria in materia di servizi pubblici locali di rilevanza economica</em>, l’<span style="color:#ffcc99;">art.15</span> intima a tutte le società, “a partecipazione pubblica e privata o mista” (quotate in borsa o meno), di vendere le proprie quote di maggioranza a gruppi privati.<br />
In caso contrario,</span></h3>
<blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;">  “Le società a partecipazione pubblica già quotate in borsa a tale data e a quelle da esse controllate, cessano alla scadenza prevista nel contratto di servizio, a condizione che la partecipazione pubblica, si riduca anche progressivamente, attraverso procedure ad evidenza pubblica ovvero forme di collocamento privato presso investitori qualificati e operatori industriali, ad una <span style="text-decoration:underline;">quota non superiore al 30 per cento</span> entro il 31 dicembre 2012; ove siffatta condizione non si verifichi, gli affidamenti cessano, improrogabilmente e senza necessità di apposita deliberazione dell&#8217;ente affidante, alla data del 31 dicembre 2012”</h3>
</blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#999999;">È un ultimatum. Se le società pubbliche che gestiscono il servizio non riducono la loro quota di partecipazione al 30% entro il capodanno 2012, la concessione di servizio verrà rivista unilateralmente (dal governo) ed affidata d’imperio a soggetti privati che dovranno in ogni caso detenere la maggioranza azionaria ed il pieno controllo della società con una partecipazione non inferiore al 40%.</span></h3>
<blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;">  “2.b) a società a partecipazione mista pubblica e privata, a condizione che la selezione del socio avvenga mediante procedure competitive ad evidenza pubblica, nel rispetto dei principi di cui alla lettera a), le quali abbiano ad oggetto, al tempo stesso, la qualità di socio e l&#8217;attribuzione dei compiti operativi connessi alla gestione del servizio e che al socio sia attribuita una partecipazione non inferiore al 40 per cento”</h3>
</blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#999999;">Attenzione però! Al privato, per legge, si riserva comunque la fetta migliore della torta. Infatti, qualora la rete idrica richieda interventi di manutenzione straordinaria, implichi costi ed oneri particolari, o sia semplicemente anti-economica ed in contrasto con le aspettative di profitto del gestore privato, allora l’acqua resta rigorosamente pubblica.</span></h3>
<blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;">  “3. In deroga alle modalità di affidamento ordinario di cui al comma 2, per situazioni eccezionali che, a causa di peculiari caratteristiche economiche, sociali, ambientali e geomorfologiche del contesto territoriale di riferimento, non permettono un efficace e utile ricorso al mercato, l&#8217;affidamento può avvenire a favore di società a capitale interamente pubblico, partecipata dall&#8217;ente locale, che abbia i requisiti richiesti dall&#8217;ordinamento comunitario per la gestione cosiddetta &#8220;in house&#8221; e, comunque, nel rispetto dei principi della disciplina comunitaria in materia di controllo analogo sulla società e di prevalenza dell&#8217;attività svolta dalla stessa con l&#8217;ente o gli enti pubblici che la controllano.”</h3>
</blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://liberthalia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/02-dark-water-b.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1200" title="02 - DARK WATER -b" src="http://liberthalia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/02-dark-water-b.jpg?w=187" alt="" width="187" height="300" /></a>A CHI CONVIENE?<br />
 <span style="color:#999999;">Attualmente, il business dell’Acqua è in mano ad un ristretto numero di colossi economici, in massima francesi, che attraverso una serie di fusioni societarie controllano la quasi totalità del mercato globale.<br />
</span>GdF SUEZ<span style="color:#999999;">, un gigante energetico nato nel 2008 dalla fusione tra <em><span style="color:#ffcc99;">Gaz de France</span></em> e <span style="color:#ffcc99;">SUEZ S.A</span>. nella quale, a sua volta, sono confluite la belga <span style="color:#ffcc99;"><em>Compagnie de Suez</em></span> e la francese <span style="color:#ffcc99;"><em>Lyonnaise des Eaux</em></span>. La multinazionale, specializzata in <em>utilities</em>, ha compartecipazioni nell’erogazione e produzione di elettricità e metano, insieme allo stoccaggio e trasporto di gas naturale allo stato liquido. Tramite la <span style="color:#ffcc99;">SUEZ Environment</span>, detiene una quota importante nella gestione mondiale dei servizi idrici e nello smaltimento rifiuti. Ma ha ramificazioni anche nel <em>multiservicies</em> e nel mercato immobiliare. Il fatturato complessivo del gruppo, nel Luglio 2008, ammontava a <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">75 miliardi di euro</span>.<br />
In Italia, la GdF SUEZ è presente attraverso la <span style="color:#ffcc99;">ELECTRABEL</span>, società di erogazione elettrica che collabora da tempo con ACEA, la municipalizzata di Roma che da parte sua controlla buona parte le risorse e le reti idriche dell’Italia centrale, e con la quale ha costituito una intraprendente <em>joint venture</em>. Ma di questo parleremo in dettaglio in un prossimo aggiornamento&#8230;</span><br />
<span style="color:#999999;">Ad operare da tempo e in modo capillare sul territorio italiano è invece il gruppo </span>VEOLIA<span style="color:#999999;">, che si contende con SUEZ un’altra consistente porzione di mercato. VEOLIA è un’evoluzione dell’antica <span style="color:#ffcc99;"><em>Compagnie Generale des Eaux </em></span>di Lione ed è specializzata nel trattamento rifiuti, smaltimento scorie tossiche e riciclaggio rifiuti pericolosi, trasporti, gestione acque, servizi energetici. Sono queste le principali divisioni strategiche che la Veolia eredita dalla <span style="color:#ffcc99;">VIVENDI Environnement</span>, destrutturata in sussidiaria della<em> holding corporation</em>.<br />
Inutile dire che la prevista privatizzazione dei servizi ambientali interessa molto alla società francese, che in Italia è gia presente con la <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">VEOLIA ACQUA</span> ed è particolarmente attratta dalle risorse idriche del Nord-Italia dove opera tramite:<br />
<span style="color:#ffcc99;">SICEA S.p.A.</span> (Piemonte; Toscana; Marche)<br />
<span style="color:#ffcc99;">SAP</span>, <em><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Società Acqua Potabile</span></em> (Liguria)<br />
<span style="color:#ffcc99;">SAGIDEP</span> e <span style="color:#ffcc99;"><em>Compagnia Generale delle Acque</em></span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://liberthalia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/veolia-italia.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1201" title="VEOLIA ITALIA" src="http://liberthalia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/veolia-italia.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="492" /></a></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#999999;">Diversamente, VEOLIA agisce tramite una serie di  <em>partenership</em> strategiche.<br />
Lo sanno bene i comuni di Latina ed Aprilia (Lazio) che da anni stanno cercando di affrancarsi dalla disastrosa gestione di <span style="color:#ffcc99;">ACQUALATINA</span>, nella quale la compagnia francese detiene una partecipazione significativa.<br />
In Calabria, è presente con <span style="color:#ffcc99;">SORICAL</span> che dovrebbe gestire l’acqua potabile all’ingrosso, tramite gli invasi di raccolta. A Reggio, quando non è torbida, dalla rete domestica arriva acqua di mare.<br />
In Sicilia, si distingue per efficienza la <span style="color:#ffcc99;">SICILIACQUE</span> a cui è demandata la “<em>gestione del servizio di captazione, accumulo, potabilizzazione e adduzione a scala sovrambito</em>”, degli acquedotti e dei bacini idrici, <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">dove la dispersione raggiunge il 38%</span>.<br />
<em>SiciliAcque</em> gestisce in linea diretta 7 invasi artificiali, compreso quello di <span style="color:#ffcc99;">Fanaco</span> che dovrebbe rifornire di acqua potabile le province di Agrigento, Enna, Caltanissetta. <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Dal mese di Marzo, a ben 23 comuni delle province interessate viene erogata acqua inquinata da triolometani e manganese. Altamente tossica, assolutamente imbevibile. A tutt’oggi il problema persiste.</span><br />
La SiciliAcque ha altresì chiesto ed ottenuto una serie di deroghe sui parametri di potabilizzazione e qualità delle acque, aumentando la presenza di arsenico, boro, vanadio, fluoro, cloriti, sodio, cloruri e nitrati. In compenso le bollette siciliane, a fronte di un servizio pessimo, sono tra le più care d’Italia. Tra le province, si distingue proprio Caltanissetta, dove tra l’altro gli investimenti per manutenzione e ammodernamento della rete ammontano all’1% da parte del consorzio privato.<br />
Ennesima dimostrazione che i privati non hanno interesse a migliorare la rete idrica, tanto meno ad ottimizzare il servizio col potenziamento dell’erogazione, eliminando dispersioni e sprechi. Questo perché il profitto è legato innanzitutto al consumo del potenziale cliente: <span style="color:#ffcc99;">più consumi più paghi</span>; più acqua viene dispersa e più alte saranno le bollette, giacché le tariffe dovranno coprire la perdita di materia prima che vede in tal modo aumentare il proprio valore di mercato. Ovunque l’acqua è stata privatizzata, i costi sono aumentati a dismisura ed il servizio peggiorato.<br />
<a href="http://liberthalia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/invaso_fanaco.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1202" title="Invaso_Fanaco" src="http://liberthalia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/invaso_fanaco.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></a>Il gruppo <span style="color:#ffcc99;">Veolia-Vivendi</span> inoltre ha interessi concreti nell’industria cinematografica e multimediale: telecomunicazioni; editoria; TV satellitare (<em>Canal plus</em>). Ma è attiva anche nell’<em>entertainment</em>, dalla musica (<span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Universal Music Group</span>) ai videogames, tramite <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">ACTIVISION</span> che ha prodotto opere d’arte come la serie ‘Total War’ e ‘Call of Duty’.<br />
E questi ambiti imprenditoriali potrebbero forse interessare di più al gruppo <span style="color:#ffcc99;">MEDIASET</span>, per una futura piattaforma d’affari, specialmente quando la contropartita da offrire a Veolia non costa nulla al gruppo del <em>Biscione</em>&#8230;.<br />
A pensar male si commette peccato, però si indovina quasi sempre. </span></h3>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignright" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2634/4071987438_2d3f3b04d7_m.jpg" alt="" width="141" height="189" />On nous disait récemment qu&#8217;il faudrait se serrer la ceinture, temps difficiles obligent.  Que certains tarifs augmenteraient sans doute, que certains services disparaîtraient peut-être et que les salaires des fonctionnaires seraient difficilement négociables.  Lorsqu&#8217;il commence à faire frette, le chauffage coûte cher.  Lorsque le frette s&#8217;installe, les salaires gèlent.</p>
<p>Alors que le grande majorité des québécois s&#8217;opposeraient sans aucun doute à la privatisation d&#8217;Hydro-Québec, voilà que la plupart des journalistes et commentateurs de l&#8217;actualité sont sympatiques à l&#8217;idée que notre société d&#8217;état mette la main sur Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick.  Si jamais le gouvernement du Québec se portait acquéreur d&#8217;actifs dans les maritimes, ça donnerait un bel argument aux fédéralistes lors du prochain référendum!  Je peux déjà entendre Jean Chrétien sur la scène du prochain &#8220;love-in&#8221; se défoncer les poumons pour nous dire qu&#8217;avec la &#8220;séparation&#8221;, le Québec perdrait ses investissements dans le beau Canada&#8230;</p>
<p>L&#8217;idée que le Parti Libéral du Québec s&#8217;intéresse à la revente d&#8217;énergie aux États-Unis me laisse toujours perplexe.  On se rappelle le projet Rabaska qui désirait se positionner face aux besoins en gaz naturel chez nos voisins du sud.  Et voilà qu&#8217;aujourd&#8217;hui, Jean Charest est attiré vers l&#8217;interconnexion au réseau électrique de la Nouvelle-Angleterre.  Dans les deux cas, une multinationale se pointe le nez: Suez.  Coincidence heureuse ou alliance stratégique?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Today is my mother&#8217;s birthday. The actually number of years is a pretty closely held family secret, one that even her only kid doesn&#8217;t have direct knowledge of. I&#8217;m going to write a bit about her story, or our family history. It&#8217;s pretty fascinating and I think a nice tribute to her. Warning, it might jus take a few days to get through it all.
</p>
<p>And, there will be no names, the writing will at times, be a bit more vague that you might like.
</p>
<p>
 </p>
<p>Cairo Egypt, November 1934. The only daughter and the youngest of four kids, mom was born at her home in Cairo&#8217;s Jewish Quarter. Cairo of 1934 was a cosmopolitan place, at the crossroads of the Middle East and Europe, the city was home to British and French nationals, there was a thriving Jewish community here, estimated to be at 75,000 people. It is one of the world&#8217;s oldest Jewish communities and, with Alexandria, it is a center of Jewish learning and life in the Middle East. Cairo is also home to several Christian communities, including the native church of Egypt, the Coptic Church, this is the original church in Egypt. It is one of the oldest Christian churches in the world, and interestingly the liturgical language of the Coptic Church is directly descended from the last native Egyptian language, it dates to earliest days of the Church. In the 600&#8217;s the invasions from the Arabian Peninsula ushered in the Islamic era and brought Arabic and Islam to Egypt, and Christians and Jews became second citizens. An interesting fact about the Copts, their liturgical language, is the former spoken language of Egypt, predating Arabic it is the last language to have been written in hieroglyphics during the time of Ptolomys. And of course there are also the majority of people in Egypt, the Muslims.
</p>
<p>Egypt at the time was ruled by King Farouk, a British puppet and the last of the Muhammed Ali dynasty which had ruled Egypt for 10 generations. He was supported by the British with an occupation force in order to look after the interests of the Suez Canal. Farouk lived an extravagant lifestyle at Egypt&#8217;s expense, many palaces, lots of estates and land, expensive European shopping trips, and a string mistresses, for the British, French and the other foreigners living in Egypt at the time, he looked a lot like the British Royal family and life for them was good. For the Arab public, he was despised.
</p>
<p>Cairo at that time, according my family sources was a beautiful city, it&#8217;s teeming slums wouldn&#8217;t come until Egypt&#8217;s rapid urbanization of the 60&#8217;s and later. My mother&#8217;s family was not native to Egypt. Her father was from an old southern French family who had settled in Tunisia in the 1700&#8217;s, Tunis at the time was also a center of Jewish life in the Arab world. Her mother was from Beirut, descended from a family of Russian Jews who immigrated to Palestine at the end of the 1800&#8217;s and had wound up settling in French Beirut. Not coincidentally, my father&#8217;s mother was from the same family line and also from Beirut. His father however was from Damascus, once the oldest Jewish community in the world, dating back the second Temple period. Again, another story.
</p>
<p>My Mothers Dad was successful merchant in Egypt. The family had a general store and sold goods to the British and the French contractors who were in Egypt at the time working for the Suez Canal Company. They would spend the height of the Egyptian summer at the Mediterranean at a house in Ras El Bar, where the Nile flows into the sea. They would take day trips to Alexandria to see the sights. Occasionally the would take the coastal train from Port Said to Beirut to visit with the family in Lebanon, passing through Palestine on the way north, a route that hasn&#8217;t been used since 1949. In Lebanon they were fond of the beach and enjoyed making trips to the Shouf Mountains to escape the heat of the summer.
</p>
<p>They lived a pretty good life in Egypt the 30&#8217;s. Hollywood movies, family time, vacations in the Nile Delta. This all came to an end with the death of my Grandfather in 1939 and the onset of World War II. My grandfather&#8217;s death meant Mom&#8217;s three older brothers would have to start working. Her oldest brother entered into Banking and supported the family as best he could. His young wife was also from Beirut and the split their time between there and Egypt. Her youngest brother was a competitive swimmer who swam long distance, open water events around the Middle East and wasn&#8217;t around to much. Her middle brother took a job working for the British Army in Egypt. At the time, the best schools in Egypt were either French or British; you had your choice of a British style boarding school, mostly for boys, or a Catholic French school where you could be taught by Nuns. Moms&#8217; mother chose the latter for her.
</p>
<p>In the late 30&#8217;s Jews from Europe were starting to arrive Cairo as refugees  with stories of Nazism and the persecution that was going in Germany and it&#8217;s occupied countries. In 1939 Libya was an Italian colony. When Mussolini joined the Axis powers, the Italians began to move out of Tripoli in their bid to expand the Duce&#8217;s empire. Italian troops in Africa were woefully under matched in equipment to their British foes and the war did not go well for the Fascist Italian forces. Hitler was determined on opening a second front in the war, and distract the British war effort and seize the Suez Canal. In early 1941 to support the failing Italians, the Afrika Corps under General Erwin Rommel landed in Tunisia and began to push across North Africa towards the British and Canal in Egypt. Cairo&#8217;s Jews were in a panic with reports of the advances by the Germans. In Egypt proper, behind British lines there were acts of sabotage against the British and foreign targets around Egypt, perpetrated by the Muslim Brotherhood.
</p>
<p>The Brotherhood was established in Egypt in 1928 by teachers and workers on the canal as a reaction to Westernization of Egypt and what they perceived as an abandonment of fundamental Islam. By 1938 there were 200,000 members of the Brotherhood in Egypt and they were perceived as a threat by the British, a fifth column should the Germans make it to Cairo. My uncle, Mom&#8217;s middle brother was recruited by the British Army to infiltrate the Brotherhood in Cairo. Fluent in street vernacular Arabic, he looked like a typical fedayeen (Egyptian) and was able to successfully join a cell in Cairo. Obviously his contact with his family ended during this time.
</p>
<p>My mother was sent to a camp for Jewish children in Alexandria, the camp was sponsored by Hashomar Ha&#8217;Tzaier a Zionist organization with youth camps in Europe and the Middle East who were training the kids in farming and scouting in order for them to one day move to Palestine and help build the future Jewish State. Both of the circumstances would come into play later.
</p>
<p>By the summer of 1942 the Germans had advanced to with in 70 miles of Alexandria to a small town on the Mediterranean coast, El Alamein, a name that would go down in military history. In July of that that  year the British and Commonwealth troops stopped the Nazi&#8217;s for the first time in the war. El Alamein was the high water mark of the Axis. The first battle, that July, was fought to a stalemate, and lines were drawn, literally in the sand. In October of that year the British under General Montgomery had amassed over 200,000 troops and 1100 tanks, the famous Eighth Army. By late September they were poised and ready to counter attack the Germans and drive them back to Libya. The Germans, after 3 months in desert with extended supply lines and fuel shortages were vulnerable.
</p>
<p>On the night of October 25, 1942 at 9:40 almost 900 artillery pieces of the Commonwealth opened fire at the same time. The plan was to have their shells fall all over the 40 mile front to confuse the Germans. After the initial bombardment they were to focus in on specific targets, minefields and positions for the actual infantry and armor attack. The plan was brilliant and the Afrika Corps were crushed at El Alamein By the November the Germans and the Italians were in full retreat and the threat to Egypt was over.
</p>
<p>My Grandmother recalled to me on several occasions the near constant vigils of prayer and fasting that were going on the Egyptian Jewish community during the battle. For her Montgomery was a savoir, a modern Mordicahi who delivered her personally from Hitler. For the family, after the battle the war became less of an issue. Cairo was bombed several times by German and Italian planes, these raids stopped. The fear that the Brotherhood would link up with the Germans became less of a concern, however since Mom&#8217;s brother had be placed in an active cell, he was a valuable asset for the British and was left in place.
</p>
<p>After the war ended, life in Egypt was never the same. The British were now an occupying force. The Canal a symbol of Western imperialism was seen as insult to Egyptian nationalism, King Farouk was an  agent of the west. In Palestine meanwhile the Yishuv, the Jewish quasi-government who, during the war had cooperated with the British and supported the war effort against the Nazi&#8217;s were now in rebellion, terrorizing British interests in the country. Millions of displaced persons were in camps across Europe, many the survivors from concentration camps now found themselves in new displaced persons camps. The Jewish Agency was attempting to bring them into Palestine. The Arabs in Palestine petitioned the British to stop what they saw as illegal immigration. This influx of a million Jewish refugees would dramatically upset the balance of power in Palestine and the Arabs were going to do everything in their power to stop it.
</p>
<p>The British, caught in the middle, were doing their part to see that open warfare didn&#8217;t break out between Jewish and Arab Palestinians, they completely halted Jewish immigration to the country in 1946 in a reaction to Arab demands. For the Jews in the country this was a declaration of war. Several Jewish militias began to attack the British troops with bombings and assinations, in the meantime the Brotherhood had setup in the Arab villages in Palestine and began attacking the Jewish settlements, the Jews would attack Arab villages and the entire region was a powder keg about the explode. This violence spilled over into Egypt where the Brotherhood engaged in attacks on Jewish and British institutions and businesses. By 1948 the British wanted out of the whole affair.
</p>
<p>With the establishment of the State of Israel in 1949, the situation for Jews in Egypt began to deteriorate. Attacks against Jews in Cairo became common, riots broke out, Egyptians attacked the Jewish neighborhood in Cairo breaking shop windows and beating people. Because of his involvement with British Intelligence her brother had to leave Egypt pronto. He was evacuated with most of the British Army and wound up moving to London and doing cold war assignments in Europe. Mom&#8217;s oldest brother departed Egypt for Beirut with his wife about this time leaving my Mother and her Mother in Cairo. The situation continued to get worse. By the early 50&#8217;s a new nationalism was taking hold in Egypt, the British were despised for their role in the creation of the State of Israel and for their control of the Suez Canal.
</p>
<p>In 1951 after an incident with British Troops at the canal that left 41 Egyptians dead anti-Western riots engulfed the country. In Cairo British and French interests were attacked as were the last remaining Jewish Department stores and companies in Egypt. In July of 1952 officers in the Egyptian military staged a coup which overthrew King Farouk. General Gammal Abdul Nasser was the new president of Egypt. Under the banner of Egyptian nationalism Nasser sized control of the Suez Canal and broke off all treaties with the British.
</p>
<p>In 1956 French, British and Israeli forces attacked Egypt and retook the canal. For my mother, this was a double whammy. At the time Mom held a French passport, she also had attended a Zionist youth camp as kid. A few weeks after the end of the hostilities, Egypt was again engulfed in riots. The French embassy in Cairo was burned and in a show of Pan-Arab nationalism at the same time the newly independent country of Tunisia opened their embassy in Cairo. .
</p>
<p>A few weeks after the Suez crisis, my mother left the apartment and headed to work at the department store where she was a clerk. As she arrived at the store, she saw her boss talking to some unknown men. As she made eye contact with the boss, he very subtly nodded at her, the message, &#8220;don&#8217;t stop&#8221;. As she walked passed she pretended to be another customer. When she left the store she called home from a payphone to check on her mother. They didn&#8217;t have a phone in her apartment so she had to call the neighbor. According to her neighbor, a Coptic woman, there had been men at the apartment looking for her, she had been identified as a French Zionist and there was a warrant for her arrest. Egypt was rounding up Jews at this time for deportation, Mom was on their list.
</p>
<p>Mom asked the neighbor to tell her Mother to take a one bag, all the money they had and to meet her at the Cairo train station at a certain time. Hanging up she tore up her identity papers and her French passport. She headed for the new Tunisian Embassy in Cairo, on the grounds of what was the French Embassy. Crowds of people were celebrating the destruction of the French and British Embassies, the chaos would work in her favor. Pulling herself together she went into the Tunisian embassy and asked for a passport. She told the new officials that her father was a Tunisian, (true) and that she and her mother considered themselves to be Tunisian Citizens (untrue). Mom is fluent in Arabic of course and must have made up a great story. Her passport was issued, as well as one for her infirm Mother.
</p>
<p>Later that day she met her Mother at the train station and with the little bit of money they had in with them they bought two tickets to Alexandria. Once they arrived in Alexandria they were able to find a ferry to Beirut and, with only the items they had with them, a suitcase and a Persian rug, they boarded the boat and left Egypt for the last time, leaving everything behind them.
</p>
<p>Beirut in 1956 was literally the Paris of the Middle East. The country was stable then, the city was known for it&#8217;s boulevards, high standard of living and tolerance. In Beirut she was able to recover her French passport, live with family and get her affairs in order. She quickly moved to Paris, where for several years she was a phone operator. She made a trip to Texas where she went to meet her second cousin, my other Grandmother. This was supposed to be a quick trip, passing through to Montreal where her three brothers had settled. Plans change however, she arrived on a Monday, met my father that afternoon and got married that Friday. I was adopted a few years later and so it goes. I still have a hard time imagining my 35 year old father, after weekend starting Monday single no girlfriends and being married by that Friday.
</p>
<p>The rest as they say.. is history. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>Gewone Mens weigert factuur te betalen aan Electrabel.</em></p>
<p><strong>TURNHOUT &#8211; Gewone Mens Symen denkt er niet aan om voor dit jaar zijn factuur te betalen die Electrabel opmaakte. Symen moet zoals alle Belgen veel te veel betalen voor zijn energie, maar volgens hem zou daar &#8216;zero euro&#8217; van betaald worden.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Ik ga ervan uit dat het bedrag vervalt&#8221;, zegt hij. Hij is wel van plan het sociaal tarief te betalen, welke in lijn ligt met het gemiddeld energiefactuur in Europa.<br />
&#8220;Nu is uitgekomen dat de Belgen veel meer moeten betalen voor hun energie, en de overheid daar geen controle over heeft, is dat eerder opgelegde bedrag niet meer aan de orde,&#8221; vindt Symen.<br />
Er is met niemand afspraken gemaakt, omdat  het iedereen koud laat, wat ironisch ook zo gaat zijn als hij zijn energiefactuur niet betaalt.<br />
Daarnaast is er wel een akkoord bereikt, waarbij Symen de komende vijf jaar niets zal bijdragen aan de superwinsten van Electrabel.<br />
<del datetime="2009-10-16T13:51:23+00:00">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</del></p>
<p>AHUM.</p>
<blockquote><p>
GDF Suez is niet van plan dit jaar de heffing van 500 miljoen euro te betalen die de regering inschreef in de begroting. GDF Suez-dochter Electrabel heeft nog een schuld van 500 miljoen euro openstaan bij de federale overheid, maar volgens topman Gerard Mestrallet zou  daar &#8216;zero euro&#8217; van betaald worden.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ik ga ervan uit dat het bedrag vervalt&#8221;, zegt hij. Het bedrijf is wel bereid de bedragen die het de komende vijf jaar zou betalen in ruil voor het langer openhouden van de kerncentrales, te spreiden over zes jaar.</p>
<p>Opgelegde bedrag niet meer aan de orde<br />
Nu er een akkoord is over het langer openhouden van de centrales van Doel 1, Doel 2 en Tihange 1, is dat eerder opgelegde bedrag niet meer aan de orde, vindt Mestrallet. Er zouden daarover met minister van Energie Paul Magnette (PS) ook afspraken zijn gemaakt.<br />
Daarnaast zou er een voorakkoord bereikt zijn, waarbij GDF Suez de komende vijf jaar 235 miljoen euro per jaar zal bijdragen aan de Belgische begroting. Er moet wel nog een &#8216;globaal akkoord&#8217; gesloten worden.</p>
<p>Vijf of zes jaar?<br />
GDF Suez zou nu toch bereid zijn dit jaar al een bijdrage te storten. In plaats van de komende vijf jaar jaarlijks 235 miljoen euro te betalen, zou die bijdrage over zes jaar gespreid kunnen worden, te beginnen met 2009. Als de Belgische overheid het voorstel aanvaardt, kan er dit jaar dus toch een kleiner bedrag aan de begroting worden toegeschreven.</p>
<p>Al in 2008 vroeg de Belgische regering een bijdrage van 250 miljoen euro van GDF Suez, maar de Franse energiegroep vecht die bijdrage aan voor het Belgische Grondwettelijk Hof. (belga/sam)

<p>Neenee, dit snap ik niet. Waarom betalen zij gewoon niéts, ongestraft, en waarom moéten wij betalen, veel te veel betalen?<br />
De politici zijn een stel zebra&#8217;s die niets durven zeggen, en dat stelt teleur.<br />
En zelfs als we (hopelijk) in de toekomst evenveel gaan betalen als de rest van Europa, is energie niet levensnoodzakelijk? En waarom betalen we nog het luxetafief van BTW op energie?</p>

<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 426px"><a href="http://www.oknation.net/blog/inter/2007/10/05/"><img class=" " style="border:5px solid black;" title="IG awards" src="http://www.oknation.net/blog/home/blog_data/944/944/images/IG_Nobel_Prize_.gif" alt="Crowd gathered to watch a Peace Prize being awarded - does anything look out of the ordinary here?" width="416" height="283" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Crowd gathered to watch a Peace Prize being awarded - does anything look out of the ordinary here?</p></div>
<p>I may well be in the minority on this one, but let me lay my cards on the table. <strong>I think the committee that awarded one of the 2009 Peace Prizes made a decision that was not merely justifiable, but bold and genuinely inspired.</strong> True, they didn’t give the prize to someone who can already claim to have resolved a major conflict, or brokered some critical international agreement. Nor will their choice be free of controversy. Sometimes, however, it’s important to invest in hope, to recognise future potential as well as past achievement. And that’s why you won’t find me sneering at the honour awarded to <a href="http://www.virtopsy.com/index.php?option=com_content&#38;view=article&#38;id=24&#38;Itemid=3" target="_blank">Stephan Bolliger</a> and some colleagues of his at the University of Bern, Switzerland.</p>
<p><!--more-->I’m referring, of course, to the Peace Prize handed out this year at the <a href="http://www.ignobel.com/" target="_blank">Ig Nobel awards</a>, a kind of annual parody of the Nobels. The Ig Nobels often recognise scientific research on unusual topics, such as whether cows that have names produce more milk (winner of this year’s Veterinary Medicine Prize – the roster of fields in which prizes are available changes somewhat from year to year). Bolliger and his colleagues received their Peace Prize for a scientific study entitled “Are full or empty beer bottles sturdier and does their fracture-threshold suffice to break the human skull?”, published in the <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&#38;_udi=B8CY1-4TVY5PW-1&#38;_user=10&#38;_coverDate=04%2F30%2F2009&#38;_rdoc=8&#38;_fmt=high&#38;_orig=browse&#38;_srch=doc-info(%23toc%2340101%232009%23999839996%23941076%23FLA%23display%23Volume)&#38;_cdi=40101&#38;_sort=d&#38;_docanchor=&#38;_ct=16&#38;_acct=C000050221&#38;_version=1&#38;_urlVersion=0&#38;_userid=10&#38;md5=63643bee356bcb486ed2d2213a3895e2" target="_blank"><em>Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine</em></a>. Their answers to these questions were respectively “empty” and “yes”, the latter justifying their conclusion that beer bottles are dangerous weapons. This new scientific demonstration of an ancient insight may not have saved a huge number of human lives as yet – but give it time, give it time.</p>

<p>No Canadian has ever been given an Ig Nobel Peace Prize. However, <a href="http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1957/pearson-bio.html" target="_blank">Lester B. Pearson</a> received the other version of this award in 1957, for his outstanding role in defusing the <a href="http://www.suezcrisis.ca/" target="_blank">Suez Crisis</a> of the previous year. Abdul Nasser, President of Egypt, had precipitated the crisis by seizing control of the Suez Canal from the crumbling British Empire. The United Kingdom got together with France and Israel, who had their own reasons for disliking Nasser, and concocted a simple enough plan: Israel would attack Egypt, and British and French troops would then move in as ostensible peacekeepers, seizing the canal in the process.</p>
<p>From a Franco-British perspective, the military side of their “<a href="http://www.historynet.com/suez-crisis-operation-musketeer.htm" target="_blank">Operation Musketeer</a>” developed brilliantly, the diplomatic side rather less so. With America preparing to undermine the British pound, Saudi Arabia cutting off oil supplies, and Russia threatening missile attacks, the Musketeers had to simply stop fighting. Pearson, in the meantime, had been working frantically in his role as Louis St. Laurent’s Minister of External Affairs to find a diplomatic solution to the whole conflict. The solution that emerged was the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF), the world’s first armed UN peacekeeping mission. UNEF, which included Canadian soldiers, moved into Egyptian territory as the Musketeers withdrew, staying until 1967.</p>
<p>Pearson obviously did not create UNEF single-handedly, with UN Secretary-General <a href="http://www.un.org/depts/dhl/dag/time1956.htm" target="_blank">Dag Hammarskjöld</a> also playing a particularly important role. Nevertheless, Pearson’s diplomacy was the driving force, and his efforts put Canada at the centre of international events in a way that’s perhaps difficult to imagine today. In retrospect, it looks like a very ambiguous achievement, at least to me. Britain was spared the very real possibility of economic collapse, but our two Motherlands were still forced into humiliating retreat. I have a lot of visceral sympathy for the position of the Conservative opposition at the time, who thought Canada should have displayed greater loyalty to Britain. Peacekeeping rapidly became something of a Canadian specialty, which has sometimes been useful in bolstering our global influence and sometimes seemed to be little more than a thankless, expensive, almost quixotic distraction. And the Middle East, of course, remains a mess. Nevertheless, Pearson was at least a man who accomplished something of historic significance – something perhaps even more important than clarifying the hazards of being hit with a beer bottle.</p>
<p><strong>Before I forget, some guy called Barack Obama won a Peace Prize too.</strong> Canadian reaction has ranged from <a href="http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2009/10/10/george-jonas-obama-s-norwegian-booby-prize.aspx" target="_blank">scorn</a> to <a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/obamas-prize-noble-hopes-in-an-ignoble-world/article1319399/" target="_blank">qualified approval</a>, but nobody seems to believe that Obama has accomplished anything that would put him in Lester Pearson’s league. Instead, we’re told, the Nobel committee gave him the prize because he’s inspiring, and because they want to encourage his good intentions. There are different ways that one could look at this, but it strikes me as a case of Norwegian idealists grandstanding more or less at Obama’s expense. The prize they’ve foisted on him is so patently undeserved that it only accelerates the poor man’s descent, clearly apparent since that <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/30/beer-summit-begins-obama-_n_248254.html" target="_blank">ridiculous beer session</a> with Sergeant Crowley and Professor Gates, into a kind of empty caricature of the transformational figure his wildest supporters expected him to become.</p>

<p><strong> L’arabo perugino.</strong></p>
<p>di Loris Accica</p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Il 23 ottobre 1811 nasce a Perugia Orazio Antinori, dal marchese Giacomo e dalla contessa Tommasa Bonaini Boldrini, di antica nobile famiglia.</p>
<p>Avviato agli studi nel collegio dei benedettini dell’Abbazia di San Pietro, ne esce diciassettenne senza alcun diploma, per la scarsa propensione agli studi.</p>
<p>La sua smodata passione è il disegno e la caccia. Un monaco gl’insegna i segreti e l’arte della tassidermia, un professore di scienze naturali lo indottrina sull’ornitologia e, in pochi anni Orazio Antinori diventa il più esperto conoscitore, disegnatore e imbalsamatore di uccelli della regione, mettendo insieme una ricchissima e corposa collezione, che in seguito dona all’Università degli Studi di Perugia.</p>
<p>Nel 1838 acquisita una notevole esperienza in queste discipline, si trasferisce prima a Roma, alla corte del principe Conti di Albano come preparatore naturalista e poi a Canino, nella bassa maremma, alla corte del principe Carlo Luciano Bonaparte col quale collabora alla stesura e all’edizione della “Fauna italica” e del “Conspectus generum avium”.</p>
<p>I capovolgimenti politici nazionali, culminati nella prima guerra d’indipendenza, coinvolgono a tal punto il sedentario marchesino, che improvvisamente sospinto da un’entusiasmo dirompente, lo trasformano in un fervente patriota ispirato dai principi liberali.</p>
<p>Torna a Perugia nei primi mesi del 1847, si immerge letteralmente nei circoli liberali repubblicani dove aleggia il pensiero mazziniano, entra in massoneria presumibilmente nel 1848 e siede sugli scranni tra le Colonne con i Fratelli Ariodante Fabretti, Giovanni Pennacchi, Reginaldo Ansidei, Pompeo e Nicola Danzetta, Carlo Bruschi ed altri, divenendo attivo protagonista della “Vendita” perugina e degli alti gradi del Rito Scozzese Antico ed Accettato.</p>
<p>L’anno successivo si arruola come ufficiale nell’esercito pontificio, agli ordini del comandante Giovanni Durando e partecipa alla sfortunata campagna del Veneto, dove il 9 maggio a Cornuta, è colpito da una pallottola austriaca al braccio destro. A giugno è ancora al fronte nei pressi di Vicenza e batte in ritirata col suo reggimento.</p>
<p>Tornato nella capitale dello Stato pontificio, partecipa intensamente ai moti democratici d’indipendenza per la costituzione della Repubblica Romana, battendosi con coraggio, da tiratore scelto qual’era, nell’assedio di Roma, che induce alla fuga papa Pio IX. e, con Giuseppe Mazzini ed altri, il 17 marzo 1848, è eletto deputato alla Costituente della Seconda Repubblica Romana.</p>
<p>La successiva caduta della Repubblica con conseguente restaurazione papalina, costringono l’Antinori al volontario esilio e lascia l’italia per un percorso itinerante in Grecia, Turchia, Egitto e Sudan. Un esilio che rappresenta anche la chiave di svolta della sua vita avventurosa.</p>
<p>In questo periodo la sua unica fonte di sostentamento è la caccia di animali, che imbalsama e vende a musei di Germania e Inghilterra, con il sostegno e la collaborazione del socio occasionale Guido Ganzenbach, console svizzero, col quale instaura una duratura amicizia.</p>
<p>Nel 1858, con la morte del padre eredita una discreta fortuna, pari a tredicimilalire, che gli consente un’ indipendenza economica e soprattutto la ripresa degli studi naturalistici con un ambizioso programma di esplorazione di quegl’immensi territori sconosciuti nel continente africano.</p>
<p>L’anno successivo infatti torna in Africa, fissa la sua base a Kartum e inizia a compiere una lunga serie di escursioni nel Sudan e in Egitto, e consacra definitivamente la sua vocazione all’esplorazione conseguendo tangibili risultati scientifici.</p>
<p>La spedizione incontra ostacoli di ogni tipo, sofferenze fisiche e malattie comprese, deve fare i conti con guide, portatori, tribù ostili, tanto che più volte rischia la vita, come quando davanti ad un leone, si accorge che ha il fucile caricato a pallini per piccoli uccelli. Ma la fortuna aiuta gli audaci e l’Antinori di coraggio ne ha in abbondanza, una dote innata che lo sostiene per tutta la vita.</p>
<p>Tornato a Kartum prende amara coscienza di trovarsi sul lastrico. I denari che aveva lasciato in deposito, a causa di un fallimento, sono perduti. Corre a Smirne dove aveva consegnato il resto del contante, ma non riesce a riscuotere una lira, perché il depositario nel frattempo era morto.</p>
<p>Con l’aiuto del fratello Raffaele riesce a rientrare in Italia nel 1861, è festosamente acclamato dagli amici e i Fratelli di Loggia lo eleggono Venerabile, ma trova a Perugia una situazione politica profondamente mutata.</p>
<p>L’Umbria insieme con altre regioni, fa parte del regno d’Italia e il re di Casa Savoia è Vittorio Emanuele II. Dopo due anni d’intensa attività massonica e politica, col mal d’Africa che si ritrova, torna al Cairo e presenta i risultati dell’ampia opera di esploratore, geografo, di osservatore della flora e della fauna, nonché degli usi e costumi indigeni.</p>
<p>Antesignano nel documentare scientificamente, le sue opere unanimemente considerate autorevoli, sono richieste ed accolte da tutte le riviste specializzate d’Europa.</p>
<p>Vendute le sue notevoli preziose collezioni ornitologiche al Governo per oltre ventimilalire, si trasferisce a Torino, dedicandosi alla stesura di altre documentazioni da pubblicare. E’ qui affiliato alla Loggia massonica Dante Alighieri, dove Ariodante Fabretti è il Venerabile e con lui, da Torino, si adopera per il rilancio della massoneria a Perugia e a Terni riuscendo infine a costituire una Gran Loggia dell’Umbria, che poi confluirà nel Grande Oriente d’Italia.</p>
<p>Nel 1866 parte alla volta della Tunisia per realizzare un accurato tracciamento della cartografia idrografica ed un eccellente repertamento di vari monumenti archeologici  d’epoca romana.</p>
<p>L’anno successivo insieme con altri insigni geografi, fonda la Società Geografica Italiana, con sede prima a Firenze poi a Roma e né è direttore e segretario, impegnandosi non poco anche alla realizzazione del Notiziario Scientifico il cui primo numero è datato 1868.</p>
<p>La fama acquisita e l’autorevolezza riconosciutagli inducono il Governo italiano ad inviarlo, quale rappresentante dello Stato, alla cerimonia d’inaugurazione del Canale di Suez, che si tiene il 17 novembre 1869, alla presenza dell’imperatrice Eugenia, consorte di Napoleone III, di molti regnanti e centinaia di ministri provenienti da tutto il mondo. Con l’occasione qualche giorno dopo si dirige per un’ennesima esplorazione intorno al mar Rosso e nel paese dei Bogos.</p>
<p>Orazio Antinori è ancora ad Assab per la caccia a fini puramente scientifici, quando Sapeto al comando della compagnia Ribattino, prende possesso dell’intero territorio d’Etiopia.</p>
<p>Rientrato in Italia il Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione gli dà mandato di compiere la “Grande Spedizione” finalizzata all’esplorazione dei grandi laghi equatoriali e, alla partenza è solennemente salutato dal principe Umberto. Questa volta coinvolge anche l’amico fraterno Giuseppe Bellucci, noto docente e più volte rettore dell’Università degli Studi di Perugia. Gli esiti della spedizione tuttavia, risulteranno disastrosi per la diffidenza e l’ostilità del governatore egiziano ed un banale incidente di caccia lo priva della mano destra.</p>
<p>Malato e demoralizzato, decide di non rientrare in Italia e accetta l’ospitalità di Menelik, imperatore dello Scioa, autoproclamatosi re dei re, il quale gli concede un’ampio territorio dove l’Antinori edifica in breve una vera e propria stazione scientifica secondo gli standard internazionali più evoluti del tempo.</p>
<p>Quasi certamente Orazio Antinori rappresenta anche il punto di riferimento del Governo italiano per il compimento delle imprese coloniali d’Africa, poiché quella parte del Continente assurge a straordinaria importanza strategica militare e commerciale dopo l’apertura dell’istmo di Suez.</p>
<p>Certo è che la sua vita sembra un bellissimo e affascinante racconto. In Europa gli scienziati lo ritengono un talentuoso naturalista esploratore, a Perugia anche un patriota e pilastro fondamentale della massoneria umbra, ma le sue doti sono ancora più grandi, perché vive e si adopera costantemente nel percorso della conoscenza per il progresso dell’Italia e dell’intera umanità.</p>
<p>Sente dentro di sé questa missione e vi si dedica con coraggio, con generosità, con passione e perizia, trasmettendo al mondo intero tutto quello che in campo zoologico, naturalistico, geografico, cartografico e astronomico riesce a scoprire e descrivere con precisione nelle sue opere, pare trentasei pubblicate .</p>
<p>Anche nell’ultimo periodo della sua esistenza si affanna per realizzare una scuola tecnica agraria a beneficio degli indigeni e al tempo stesso promuovere l’espansione del commercio italiano con questa regione d’Africa.</p>
<p>Ed è qui a Let-Marefià che, gravemente malato da mesi, “l’arabo perugino” spira il 26 agosto 1882. Gli indigeni perdono un carismatico rispettato amico e l’imperatore fa erigere in suo onore una tomba a forma di capanna, secondo le tradizioni abissine. Il mondo intero perde una grande figura risorgimentale con l’irresistibile vocazione alla scienza, che spesso oggi come ieri, il grande pubblico non conosce.</p>
<p>Nel 1936, con l’occupazione coloniale italiana d’Etiopia, i primi soldati che arrivano, trovano la tomba di Orazio Antinori ancora intatta. Dopo cinquantaquattro anni.</p>
<p>“Io credo che poche ebrezze siano comparabili a quella di colui che si mette in cammino per inoltrarsi verso paesi ignoti…” così ben riassume anche le motivazioni che sono alla base del periodo “romantico” della scoperta del continente africano, il cui interno rimane praticamente sconosciuto agli europei fin quasi la fine del XVIII secolo.</p>

Avversario l&#8217;Ungheria, passata in  vantaggio con un rigore trasformato da Vladimir Koman, giocatore del Bari il cui  cartellino è di proprietà della Samp.<br />
L&#8217;Italia ha trovato il pareggio all&#8217;82&#8242;  con Mazzotta dopo che al 71&#8242; era stato espulso Gentili. Negli ultimi 5&#8242; di gioco  il cartellino rosso ha colpito anche Bini e Szekeres, lasciano gli azzurri in  nove e i magiari in dieci uomini.<!--more--></p>
<p>Il primo tempo supplementare non regala gol mentre i secondi quindici minuti hanno dell&#8217;incredibile: Nemeth trova la rete del 2-1 che sembra portare l&#8217;Ungheria in semifinale ma un minuto più tardi Bonaventura si inventa il gol che pareggia nuovamente i conti.<br />
Gli azzurri rimangono addirittura in 8 per l&#8217;espulsione di Albertazzi e il vantaggio di due uomini agevola gli ungheresi che ancora con Nemeth trasformano il 3-2. Inutile l&#8217;assalto finale degli azzurri, autori di una prova di grande carattere.</p>
<p>L&#8217;Ungheria vince e si guadagna la semifinale, in programma martedì contro il Ghana, vincente per 3-2 a Suez contro la Corea del Sud.</p>

Cele trei plus Anglia, Spania si Cehia, eliminate pe parcurs, au reprezentat batranul continent in turneul final cu 24 de natiuni.  Sase emisare din totalul de 53 al UEFA, de la mic la mare, a se citi de la San Marino la Spania. 6 din 53 nu e Loto ci doar 11,3%. Total disproportionat, comparativ cu cele 40% trimise de sud-americani. Stiu, e drept, Argentina e inca detinatoarea la zi a titlului la sub 20 de ani&#8230; Dar de ce atat de multe selectionate din America de Sud, cel putin in comparatie cu Europa!?!</p>
<p>Continui cu comparatiile, inainte de a reveni la Senor Oscar Ruiz si cartonasele sale rosii de-aseara, impartite europenilor. Patru reprezentante din CONCACAF, uniunea Central si Nord Americana!?! Patru din 35? Stim cu totii ca FIFA forteaza raspandirea si popularizarea globala a fotbalului dar se cam sare gardul, in conditiile in care destule dintre cele 35 membre afiliate la CONCACAF nu sunt altceva decat insulite caraibiene gen Trinidad &#38; Tobago, prezenta in Egipt. Mult prea multe, patru!</p>
<p>Tot patru si din Asia, care, noutate, s-a prezentat inclusiv cu&#8230; Australia. Asta pentru a da o sansa in plus uneia dintre numeroasele insulite alcatuind confederatia cu 11 natiuni a fotbalului din Oceania. Si astfel a ajuns Tahiti la turneul final. Inaltator! 0-8 cu Spania, 0-8 cu Venezuela, 0-5 cu Nigeria. Contributia tahitienilor? Zero.   </p>
<p><em>Europenele, strangulate pe aceeasi jumatate de traseu</em></p>
<p>Africa, mai ca Europa. Cinci din 53. Fata de 6 din 53. Politica aducerii la acelasi numitor comun si implicit a nivelarii in jos nu e practicata numai la impartirea pe criteriile debalansate de mai sus a numarului de reprezentante de pe continente, ci si la traseul acestora spre finala. Ungaria si Cehia si-au dat cap in cap si n-aveau alta varianta pentru sferturile de finala, decat sa intalneasca Spania ori Italia. Patru din cele 6 europene aliniate la start, macelarindu-se pana in sferturi. Sa fie cat mai echilibrata reprezentarea la varful turneului final&#8230;</p>
<p>Si aici si-a intrat in rol Oscar Ruiz. Italiei si Spaniei i s-au mai &#8220;servit&#8221; arbitri de pomina, chiar si la seniori, de cand cu caravana turneelor finale poposind si prin locuri mai exotice, gen Coreea de Sud si Japonia, in 2002. Asa ca n-a surprins prea tare, aseara, pe Mubarak din Suez&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; Deja in minutul 2, Nemeth, nouarul maghiarilor cu contract la Liverpool FC, a fost faultat in careu de Gentili iar Vladimir Koman, celalalt star al ungurilor, septarul capitan, l-a invins pe capitanul Fiorillo, colegul de club cu care aducea Sampdoriei titlul la tineret: 1-0.</p>
<p><em>Columbianul Ruiz a ingalbenit si inrosit europenele&#8230; Beneficiara? Ghana!</em></p>
<p>Iar apoi si-a intrat in rol Ruiz, care le-a aratat cartonasul galben lui Albertazzi si Gentili, deja in prima repriza, iar lui Koman imediat dupa pauza. Consecinta? Koman avea sa piarda semifinala cu Ghana, in cazul calificarii in dauna Italiei. Tocmai capitanul! Play-makerul maghiarilor. Inca un galben pentru Gentili si implicit cartonasul rosu. Din minutul 71, Italia in zece. Columbianul dadea tonul la ceea ce avea sa urmeze&#8230;</p>
<p>Dar Antonio Mazzotta, egaland in minutul 82, a incurcat itele. Doua minute mai tarziu, un al doilea fundas peninsular, Bini, vedea cartonasul rosu. Doua galbene in nici 250 de secunde. Si Italia, la 1-1 o potentiala semifinalista contra Ghanei, ramasa in 9 si decimata in cazul calificarii. Ungaria, sigur fara Koman.</p>
<p>11 la 9 nu e bine asa incat Ruiz a redresat nitel balanta, inaintea intrarii in reprizele de prelungiri. Szekeres la dusuri: 10  la 9 si alte 30 de minute, plumb in picioare&#8230; Ghana se calificase deja, de aproape cinci ore, pentru semifinala de marti. Distractie in fata televizorului.</p>
<p>Prelungiri. Krisztian Nemeth, varful ce &#8220;scosese&#8221; penaltyul, a marcat pentru 2-1 in minutul 112. Cu un om in plus, Ungaria parea calificata pentru duelul euro-african ce trebuia sa-l inceapa fara capitanul Koman si Szekeres. Dar rezerva Bonaventura, si el &#8220;ingalbenit&#8221;, a egalat imediat cu o incredibila actiune solo: 2-2 si &#8230; zece contra noua. Insa pentru doar inca doua minute. Caci Ruiz a scos al doilea galben si pentru Albertazzi, devenit al treilea fundas italian eliminat la Suez. Italia, inca in carti la 2-2 pentru semifinala cu Ghana, ar fi trebuit sa-si inlocuiasca aidoma jocului de hochei linia de fund.</p>
<p>Zece contra opt, in ultimele 5 minute. Din 115 pana la ultimul fluier&#8230; Dar Koman a reusit o deschidere de mare clasa, o minge lunga printre, la intalnire, inghitind aproape 40 de metri si lansandu-l spre gol pe acelasi Nemeth. Stang si 3-2!</p>
<p><em>19 galbene si patru rosii pentru 44 de faulturi&#8230;</em></p>
<p>24 &#8211; 20 la faulturi &#8220;pentru&#8221; Ungaria, ce a incasat opt cartonase galbene. Trei titulari, drept consecinta, ii vor lipsi. Italia a fost impanata cu 11 cartonase galbene, dintre care trei transformate in rosii. Deci Ruiz si-a controlat buzunarul la fiecare doua-trei faulturi ale europenilor. Beneficiara? Ghana.</p>
<p>Raman din vizionarea jocului Ungaria &#8211; Italia cu imbratisarea inaintea reprizelor de prelungire a lui Fiorillo cu Koman. Fostii colegi de club, capitani ai nationalelor lor, strangandu-se la piept, la mijlocul terenului, de unde Ruiz le-a impartit &#8220;dreptatea&#8221;. Dupa 1-1 si 2-2 la prelungiri, plus penaltyuri contra Cehiei, Ungaria a repetat figura, cu un 1-1 si 3-2 la mustata, in minutul 117.</p>
<p>Ungaria &#8211; Ghana are acum o favorita certa si senzatia e ca o finalista europeana, ca in urma cu doi ani, atunci Republica Ceha, n-ar fi tocmai conform planurilor fotbalului in varianta globalizata, fie el si la categoria sub 20 de ani. Iar ca o rememorare, Anglia de exemplu n-a servit cauzei Europei, fiind eliminata de Africa (Ghana i-a dat 4-0) si America de Sud (Uruguay i-a dat 1-0), doar remizand la unu cu Uzbekistanul Asiei&#8230;</p>
<p><em>*Epilog&#8230; Ungaria in semifinale de Mondial, Romania batuta cu 5-1 in preliminarii EURO, in Letonia</em></p>
<p>Iar daca tot suntem la noul val, pe cand Ungaria transpira in drumul spre semifinala Mondialului, tineretul Romaniei era surclasat pe Daugava din Riga, Torje marcand din penalty in minutul 94, pentru un 5-1 final in contul Letoniei. Trist.</p>
<p>Sa vedem ce vor reusii tinerii Romaniei zilele acestea, in patrulaterul preliminar pentru Euro 2011 sub 20 ani, in Austria, unde vor da piept cu scotienii, gazdele si Slovenia. Si sa vedem spre fine de octombrie ce va fi la Mondialul sub 17 ani, din nou in Africa, in Nigeria.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft" style="border:0 none;margin:2px 3px;" src="http://static.sky.it/static/images/sezioni/2009/sport/ottobre_2009/mustacchio_italia_spagna.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="120" />Chiamiamolo pure il Mondiale della rivincita della Sampdoria. Lippi non chiama Pazzini e Cassano? Nessun problema, Garrone, Marotta e Del Neri già si gustano i loro campioni di domani. Italia-Ungheria sarà l&#8217;anteprima di una squadra di successo: quella Samp Primavera che nel 2008 tolse a sorpresa il titolo di Campione d&#8217;Italia alla favoritissima Inter. Decisero i gol di Koman, capitano dell&#8217;Ungheria quest&#8217;anno in prestito al Bari, e di Mustacchio, che gioca nell&#8217;Ancona e che in Egitto ha matato le voglie di grandezza della Spagna.<!--more--></p>
<p>Fondamentali furono anche le parate di Vincenzo Fiorillo, il secondo di Castellazzi. A Suez, in Egitto, i tre si abbracceranno forte prima di provare ad entrare nella storia delle loro piccole nazionali. Poi magari, in un futuro non troppo lontano, si ritroveranno insieme per fare grande la Sampdoria. Magari con l&#8217;aiuto di Mohammed Rabiu, centrocampista ghanese che nella primavera della Samp invece ci gioca ancora. In Egitto anche lui ha l&#8217; obiettivo di arrivare in semifinale. Basta che il suo Ghana superi la Corea. Possibile.</p>
<p>Mustacchio e Koman come Pazzini e Cassano. Fiorillo e Rabiu come Castellazzi e Palombo. Il futuro della Sampdoria è già cominciato in Egitto.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Título:  The Building of The Panama Canal in Historic Photographs Autor:  Ulrich Keller Editorial:  ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Título</strong>:  The Building of The Panama Canal in Historic Photographs</p>
<p><strong>Autor</strong>:  Ulrich Keller</p>
<p><strong>Editorial</strong>:  Dover</p>
<p>Los comienzos del siglo XX fueron asombrosos.  Y el final del XIX.  Algunos se maravillan de los prodigios actuales de las nuevas tecnologías.  Echen un ojo a lo que hicieron los visionarios de entonces.</p>
<p>Mientras el hombre se debatía entre la vida y la muerte para abrirse camino en Panamá, nacieron los que a la postre abrirían una brecha profunda en la historia de la Música.</p>
<p>Hace 100 años llegaron de visita tres genios que colaborarían en la revolución del Jazz:   <a title="Ben Webster" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Webster">Ben Webster</a>,<a title="Lester Young" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_Young"> Lester Young</a> y <em><a title="Benny Goodman" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Goodman">Benny Goodman</a>. </em>Sin ellos, la música del siglo XX hubiera sido otra.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/4rifhroClGI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/4rifhroClGI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Mientras tanto, un buen grupo de osados ingenieros luchaban por abrirse camino en la vida, y en la naturaleza.  Lo que para el equipo Francés dirigido por Lesseps fue un rotundo fracaso, fundamentalmente económico, el empeño Americano permitiría a la postre convertir en éxito empresarial.  Y <a title="Ferdinand de Lesseps" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_de_Lesseps">Lesseps</a> venía precedido por el <a title="Canal de Suez" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_de_Suez">Canal de Suez</a>.</p>
<p>También en aquella época, algunos como <a title="Benny Goodman" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Goodman">Goodman</a> luchaban por salir de la pobreza.  Nacido en los barros bajos de Chicago, logro que la fuerza del viento madera soplara en su niñez para salir a flote del profundo estrato social en que vivía.  Aún no tocaba su clarinete cuando el <a title="Canal de Panamá" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_de_Panam%C3%A1">Canal de Panamá</a> era inaugurado.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 233px"><img title="Canal de Panamá" src="http://flyawaycafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/gatun-locks-panama-canal.jpg" alt="Canal de Panamá" width="223" height="301" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Canal de Panamá</p></div>
<p>Pero el Canal de Panamá se llevó por delante más de 22.000 vidas humanas.  Fue la estrategia americana la que finalmente produjos sus frutos:  Una lucha sin cuartel contra el portador de la fiebre amarilla, el mosquito que tuvo en jaque a la expedición francesa en sus años de pesadilla;  un excelente sistema de transporte ferroviario construido ad hoc para la evacuación de escombros y finalmente, una idea acertada de cómo construir el canal, mediante  exclusas escalonadas a lo largo del recorrido.</p>
<p>Podemos imaginar la opulenta travesía de algún crucero de lujo cruzando el Canal a principios del siglo XX, repleto de turistas curiosos.  Probablemente alguna Big Band inspirada en la música de los maestros del Jazz amenizaría las noches de mar.</p>
<p>Es una suerte que compañías como Iberia, que cubren con regularidad el camino a Panamá, se hayan acordado en este año de Centenario de los maestros Webster, Young y Goodman.</p>
<p>No pierdan ocasión de viajar a Panamá, contemplar el prodigio de la obra, y escuchar a los grandes del Jazz en el Canal musical de Iberia.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://terradiconfine.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/03b_planisfero-copia.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2244 aligncenter" title="03B_Planisfero copia" src="http://terradiconfine.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/03b_planisfero-copia.jpg?w=300" alt="03B_Planisfero copia" width="428" height="339" /></a></p>
<p>Un evento storico, un sogno realizzato o un incubo a seconda dei punti di vista. Beluga Fraternity e Beluga Foresight, due navi commerciali tedesche da 12 mila tonnellate partite in luglio dalla Corea del Sud, stanno arrivando nel porto olandese di Rotterdam. È la loro destinazione finale; sabato scorso erano approdate a Yamburg, in Siberia, scaricando materiali da costruzione e componenti per la siderurgia. Di storico c&#8217;è che si tratta del primo viaggio commerciale che, doppiato lo stretto di Bering, abbia affrontato con successo il leggendario Passaggio a Nord-Est. Questo collegamento fra Oceano Atlantico e Oceano Pacifico per 500 anni è parso alle nazioni marinare un sogno, in grado di accorciare le rotte cargo dall&#8217;Estremo Oriente all&#8217;Europa di oltre 4.000 miglia nautiche rispetto al passaggio dal Canale di Suez. Ma era un sogno impossibile, a causa dei ghiacci. Pochi giorni fa il presidente del Gruppo Beluga ha dichiarato che non si tratta di un esperimento ma del primo passo verso l&#8217;apertura mondiale del passaggio. Buon per loro. Quanto al pianeta, per usare le parole dell&#8217;equipaggio di Artic Sunrise la nave di Greenpeace, «non c&#8217;è proprio niente da festeggiare, semmai molto da fare perché questa è un&#8217;altra prova del riscaldamento del clima». È infatti lo scioglimento senza precedenti dei ghiacci artici ad aver reso possibile la navigazione. La riduzione in dimensioni e spessore della calotta polare sono un dato costante degli ultimi decenni. Il viaggio delle due Beluga è «un trionfo per l&#8217;uomo, un disastro per l&#8217;umanità» titola il quotidiano inglese The Independent parafrasando la famosa frase di Neil Armstrong dalla Luna e parlando di «cupa pietra miliare verso la catastrofe ambientale». Lo scioglimento estivo del ghiaccio nell&#8217;Artico si è ampliato e accelerato, aprendo canali prima impraticabili. Per la storia, lassù molte spedizioni di esploratori finirono in tragedie. Ci provò per primo l&#8217;inglese Richard Chancellor nel 1553; la sua imbarcazione rimase intrappolata fra i ghiacci ma egli riuscì ad abbandonarla e camminando sul ghiaccio si salvò in Russia. Il resto dell&#8217;equipaggio invece fu ritrovato congelato sulla nave due anni dopo. Nel 1597 la nave dell&#8217;esploratore danese William Barents (che diede il nome al relativo mare) finì schiacciata dai ghiacci; trascorsero l&#8217;inverno mangiando orsi polari, ma non sopravvissero. Simili disastri sono cose del passato. Il disastro climatico è cosa di oggi. Il passaggio è stato attraversato senza alcun incidente malgrado sia stata una «prima assoluta». Non una passeggiata comunque. Le due navi hanno incontrato vaganti banchi di ghiaccio che definiremmo «superstiti», nebbia, neve, iceberg traditori emergenti per solo un metro. Le hanno assistite due navi rompighiaccio fornite dalla Russia (la nuova rotta potrebbe trasformare le fortune economiche di Mosca, che ora spera in una «corsa all&#8217;Artico», con la rotta a Nord-Est in competizione con Suez e Panama). Certo le miglia e dunque la nafta risparmiate (in soldoni 92 mila dollari per ognuna delle due Beluga, dice la compagnia) se moltiplicate per l&#8217;enormità di viaggi che solcano gli oceani significano meno gas serra emessi in atmosfera. Ma sarebbe molto più efficace ridurre la circolazione di merci. Inoltre, la riduzione dei ghiacci renderà più facili le esplorazioni e le estrazioni petrolifere al fondo del mare. Molto attive in Alaska e Canada la Royal Ducth Shell e la Bp. Così l&#8217;economia fossile, causa del disastro climatico, prospererà. Un perfetto circolo vizioso.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">A pochi giorni da questa memorabile esperienza, segnaliamo la presentazione del film &#8220;The Age of stupid&#8221; di Franny Armstrong: un documentario sulle conseguenze mondiali dell&#8217;inquinamento ed &#8211; è il caso di dirlo &#8211; della stupidità umana.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/DZjsJdokC0s&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/DZjsJdokC0s&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Il film The Age of Stupid (www.ageofstupid.net), “manifesto” sui cambiamenti climatici, sostenuto dalle associazioni ambientaliste, sarà sugli schermi internazionali da martedì 22 in occasione dell&#8217;incontro delle Nazioni Unite sui cambiamenti climatici. A Roma la proiezione ci sarà alle ore 19 al nuovo cinema Aquila (via l’Aquila 68).</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">IL FILM</span> &#8211; Citato come uno dei film più importanti del nostro tempo, l&#8217;acclamato documentario di Franny Armstrong, è interpretato dal candidato agli Oscar Pete Postlethwaite (Nel nome del padre, I soliti sospetti). The Age of Stupid, sostenuto anche da Greenpeace e WWF, rappresenta un messaggio preciso e coinvolgente, un allarme sul mondo di oggi, in vista della Conferenza di Copenhagen dove &#8211; il prossimo dicembre &#8211; dovrà essere ratificato il nuovo trattato sul clima, che aggiornerà il Protocollo di Kyoto. L’attore vive i giorni del 2055, nei panni di un uomo in solitudine in un mondo ormai devastato e riguarda vecchi filmati del 2008.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">L&#8217;IMPEGNO</span> &#8211; «Perché non ci siamo salvati quando ne avevamo l’occasione?» è la domanda che tuonerà sugli schermi il 21, data del lancio mondiale della pellicola a New York, alla presenza di Kofi Annan. Il 22 la premiere coinvolgerà 40 paesi, dall’Europa all’Asia, dal Medio Oriente all’Africa. L’evento mira a diventare la premiere, in simultanea, più vista della storia del cinema grazie alla tecnologia satellitare. Questo aspetto, che consente di risparmiare sulla produzione delle pellicole e sulla loro distribuzione, abbatte notevolmente le emissioni di Co2.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">Per approfondire la problematica legata allo scioglimento dei ghiacci ecco il reportage &#8220;<a href="http://espresso.repubblica.it/dettaglio/ghiaccio-bollente/2108957/11">Ghiaccio bollente</a>&#8220;: <em>Canada. Alaska. Polo Nord. Tre viaggi in cima al mondo. Per misurare quanto i cambiamenti climatici stanno disgregando un ecosistema meraviglioso. Tra orsi che non hanno più dove cacciare, cani da slitta che arrancano, ghiacciai che si sciolgono. E col timore che tutto questo domani possa scomparire dal Polo Nord.</em></p>

<p>Par Marie Nassif-Debs</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;"><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-6542 aligncenter" title="Jerusalem_al-Quds_from_mt_olives" src="http://mplbelgique.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/jerusalem_al-quds_from_mt_olives.jpg" alt="Jerusalem_al-Quds_from_mt_olives" width="557" height="370" /></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;"><strong>Avec le retour prochain de George Mitchell  				au Moyen Orient, on a recommencé à parler du « plan de paix »  				qu’il présenta, à la fin du mois de juillet, sur les bases du  				discours de son président, Barak Obama, au Caire. Et les  				déclarations se sont multipliées de la part des Israéliens et  				des Arabes, à commencer par Benjamin Netanyahu et son ministre  				de la guerre Ehud Barak, mais aussi Amro Moussa, secrétaire  				général de la Ligue arabe, et Khaled Mechaal, chef politique du  				Hamas.</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ainsi, Netanyahu, qui avait commencé,  				dimanche passé, ses discours presque quotidiens par une décision  				ambiguë selon laquelle il gèlerait la construction des colonies  				en Cisjordanie, s’est vite rétracté en spécifiant qu’il  				poursuivrait ses exactions à Jérusalem (Al Qods), tandis que son  				gouvernement prenait la décision de donner le feu vert à la  				construction d’une colonie au Nord du Jourdain, selon une  				décision, dite stratégique, déjà prise par l’ex ministre de  				guerre Amir Perets.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Quant aux Arabes, et aux Palestiniens en  				particulier, ils sont divisés sur eux-mêmes, mme d’habitude,  				entre ceux qui, comme Khaled Mechaal, pensent que la  				« normalisation des relations avec Israël doit se faire après  				qu’il ait accepté de mettre un terme définitif à la construction  				des colonies » et ceux qui, comme Amro Moussa, trouvent que la  				normalisation doit se faire, mais ne doit pas être « gratuite ».  				Cependant les deux tendances ne disent mot sur le droit au  				retour de tout le peuple palestinien et oublient de parler de la  				nécessité d’une position unique et ferme en ce qui concerne  				l’Etat palestinien et l’avenir d’Al Qods que Barak Obama  				voudrait transformer en ville ouverte.</p>
<p></span><span class="style25"> <strong></p>
<p class="style29" align="center">Paix provisoire et bombe à  				retardement</p>
<p></strong></p>
<p class="style31">Commençons, d’abord, par préciser le contenu  				du « plan Mitchell », ainsi que ses différentes étapes et si les  				Etats-Unis sont vraiment sérieux en ce qui concerne la mise en  				avant d’une solution juste du problème palestinien ou si le  				nouveau projet ira rejoindre d’autres, semblables, rédigés au  				fil des ans, depuis les années Soixante du XX° siècle.  				D’ailleurs, il est nécessaire pour nous d’ajouter que nous  				partons, dans notre étude, de la vision pragmatique en politique  				de la nouvelle administration étasunienne (en quoi elle ne  				diffère pas de celle qui l’avait précédée, sauf sur le plan  				formel) qualifiée par le quotidien israélien Haaretz comme étant  				une « politique de boutiquier » qui accorde une étagère à l’Irak  				et une autre au dossier nucléaire iranien… auxquelles nous  				ajoutons une troisième consacrée à la Palestine. Mais, toutes  				sont sous le contrôle partiel d’Israël, représentante du  				boutiquier dans la région.<!--more--></p>
<p class="style31">Commençons par le commencement.<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--></p>
<p></span></p>
<p class="style3">La première étape déclarée met, si elle est  				approuvée, la cause palestinienne sur la voie de la liquidation  				finale :</p>
<p><span class="style25"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="style3">•</span> <span class="style32">Sur le plan palestinien</span><span class="style25"><span class="style3">,  				elle projette « l’arrêt des actions et des déclarations  				négatives » vis-à-vis d’Israël, en plus de « l’élargissement du  				rôle des forces palestiniennes de sécurité » ; ce qui laisse  				sous-entendre que les Palestiniens doivent mettre fin à toutes  				activités de résistance contre Israël et s’abstenir de toute  				déclaration à propos des massacres et des arrestations, qui sont  				devenus leur pain quotidien… Bien plus, ce que George Mitchell  				veut réellement de la part du gouvernement palestinien, c’est de  				mettre la main à la pâte afin de couper la voie aux opérations  				de résistance contre l’occupation israélienne. Par contre, il  				n’est rien dit à propos de l’occupation militaire et économique  				des territoires palestiniens ni des déclarations israéliennes  				concernant un nouveau « transfert » des Palestiniens des  				territoires de 1948, afin de judaïser ces territoires en vue du  				nouveau projet : Israël, Etat des Juifs du monde. </span></span></p>
<p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="style3">• </span> <span class="style32">Sur le plan israélien</span><span class="style25"><span class="style3">,  				elle conseille « un gel temporaire dans la construction de  				nouvelles colonies, accompagné d’une plus grande facilité sur le  				plan économique dans les régions supervisées par l’autorité  				palestinienne ». Dans cette phrase, l’adjectif « temporaire »  				exprime la possibilité pour Israël d’obtenir, plus tard,  				l’accord de Washington afin de poursuivre sa mainmise sur de  				nouvelles terres palestiniennes. Surtout que le gouvernement  				Netanyahu-Liebermann a obtenu que le sort des colonies érigées  				dernièrement en Cisjordanie ne soit pas mis sur le tapis ; parce  				que ce problème pourrait déclancher une guerre civile en Israël  				et nuire, par suite, aux intérêts des Etats-Unis dans la région. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="style3">• </span> <span class="style32">Sur le plan arabe</span><span class="style25"><span class="style3">,  				cette étape prévoit « l’ouverture, au moins, de bureaux  				commerciaux arabes en Israël ». Ce qui aboutit à dire que  				l’administration d’Obama, qui avait déjà usé de l’argent arabe  				pour endiguer, partiellement la crise économique qui sévit dans  				son pays, voudrait aussi trouver une solution à la crise  				économique israélienne dans la poche des gouverneurs arabes  				toujours prêts à dilapider nos richesses pour sauvegarder leurs  				régimes : ainsi, le Qatar et le Maroc ont tout de suite répondu  				à l’appel en déclarant la réouverture de leurs bureaux à Tel  				Aviv, qu’ils avaient fermés ( ?) lors de la dernière agression  				israélienne contre Gaza ; de plus, on parle beaucoup de nouveaux  				échanges entre Israël et d’autres pays arabes qui voient en lui  				une possibilité de les secourir contre « l’ennemi iranien »,  				quand l’occasion se présentera. D’ailleurs, la normalisation des  				relations commerciales est moins difficile que l’échange  				diplomatique, par exemple, vu qu’il suffit à quelques sociétés  				arabes d’avoir des représentants dans certaines villes  				israéliennes, selon le principe « ni vu, ni connu »…</span></span></p>
<p><span class="style34"></p>
<p class="style26" align="center"><strong>Le rôle de la Turquie et les  				engagements étasuniens</strong></p>
<p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="style3">• En plus des  				délégations commerciales</span><span class="style25"><span class="style3"> exigées de tous les Arabes, une autre condition est posée : la  				reprise des négociations indirectes entre Damas et Tel Aviv. A  				cet effet, notons le rôle joué par la Turquie, surtout qu’Ankara  				tente de se montrer sous un jour « indépendantiste » vis-à-vis  				de Washington, tant en ce qui concerne la solution du problème  				de la région de Kirkuk, en Irak, (qui constitue, en fait, un  				problème intérieur turc, tant sur le plan de la population  				turkmène de cette région que sur le plan économique, surtout  				pétrolier). Notons aussi la position du gouvernement turc qui  				avait stigmatisé l’agression israélienne à Gaza, sans pour  				autant  faire de  				véritables pressions sur Tel Aviv ou mettre des bâtons dans les  				roues de l’OTAN. Parce que la Turquie a un besoin pressant de se  				faire accepter au sein de l’Union européenne en tant que membre  				à part entière, tout en continuant à jouir de la délocalisation  				de milliers de sociétés européennes (celles de l’automobile et  				de la confection, notamment) qui ont trouvé dans ce pays un  				nouveau lieu pour gagner plus, tout en fraudant le fisc de leurs  				pays d’origine.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="style3">• Enfin, il est  				nécessaire de dire quelques mots en ce qui concerne les  				promesses et engagements de ceux qui ont préparé le projet. Les  				Etats-Unis se sont engagés sur trois points :</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-Le premier consiste à donner une plus  				grande militaire à Israël, y compris une plus grande  				participation aux opérations de l’OTAN ; c’est sur cette base  				que Tel Aviv fut présent aux dernières grandes manœuvres de la  				fin du mois d’août et que les dirigeants de l’Union européenne  				ont levé la consigne qui gelait la mise en exécution du traité  				signé par Nicolas Sarkozy, durant sa présidence de l’Union, et  				dont une des clauses considère Israël comme partie intégrante  				des opérations militaires européennes, notamment sur le  				continent africain…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-Le second, quant à lui, consiste de la  				part des Etats-Unis à montrer une plus grande fermeté en ce qui  				concerne le programme nucléaire iranien. Fermeté qui, selon le  				ministre  de guerre  				Robert Gates, pourrait aboutir à des sanctions musclées et  				décisives au mois de septembre, si Téhéran n’a pas répondu  				favorablement aux propositions qui lui furent envoyées.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-Le troisième, enfin, promet à Israël une  				normalisation ultérieure complète de ses relations avec les  				Arabes ; laquelle commence à se faire sentir, tant à travers  				l’ouverture du Canal de Suez devant les navires et les  				sous-marins israéliens qu’à travers les dépêches annonçant une  				prochaine ouverture du ciel arabe devant les avions et les  				bombardiers israéliens. Cette dernière mesure, si elle est  				prise, n’a pas seulement des répercussions sur le plan  				économique, mais elle exprime le consentement arabe officiel au  				plan que le gouvernement Netanyahu-Liebermann avait mis au point  				pour porter un coup à l’Iran et, en même temps, au Liban sous  				prétexte de contrer la force du Hezbollah lié à l’Iran.</p>
<p><span class="style34"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><span class="style26"><strong>La  				situation des Arabes dans ce projet</strong><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--></span></p>
<p></span><span class="style3"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cette analyse nous pousse à nous demander  				ce que les Arabes auront à gagner en contrepartie de leur  				consentement à ce projet.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">La réponse est : ils ont tout à perdre et  				rien à gagner. Ils perdront la Cause palestinienne et, avec  				elle, leur existence même. Parce que le discours du président  				étasunien Barak Obama voulait démontrer qu’il n’existe pas une  				nationalité arabe et que les Arabes constituent une partie du  				monde musulman, en général, qui s’étend jusqu’en Afghanistan et  				au Pakistan. Et, ce monde musulman, auquel on donne tantôt le  				nom « Le Grand Moyen Orient » ou celui du « Nouveau Moyen  				Orient », est un monde qu’il faudrait morceler, selon l’exemple  				de l’Irak (suivi par le Liban et, maintenant, par le Yémen), en  				groupuscules confessionnels et ethniques antagonistes ou, du  				moins, en une mosaïque formant deux larges croissants, dont l’un  				aurait une dominante chiite et l’autre une dominante sunnite… Ce  				qui permettrait aux Etats-Unis de réaliser son projet général,  				visant à une mainmise totale sur les sources d’énergie (pétrole  				et gaz) dans toute la région allant des anciennes républiques  				islamiques de l’ex Union soviétique jusqu&#8217;au Maghreb arabe, mais  				aussi sur les routes de transport de cette énergie à travers la  				Géorgie, la Turquie et Israël vers le monde, en général, et  				l’Europe, en particulier.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Croire ce que disait Barak Obama sur la  				volonté des Etats-Unis de trouver une solution juste avec le  				monde arabe relève de l’utopie pure. Parce que si les Etats-Unis  				voulaient une solution basée sur le respect et les intérêts  				mutuels, pourquoi continueraient-ils à envoyer toutes ces armes  				sophistiquées et toute cette aide militaire et économique à  				Israël ? Surtout que George Mitchell n’a pas pu réaliser la  				seule promesse qu’il avait tenue en parlant de la volonté de  				Washington d’asseoir le cessez-le-feu à Gaza, en vue d’améliorer  				la situation des habitants de cette région toujours encerclée.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Disons, enfin, que ceux qui ont trouvé dans  				le projet de George Mitchell un indice positif, surtout à partir  				de ses appels à revenir aux pourparlers entre les parties en  				présence, s’illusionnent une fois de plus. Ce que les Etats-Unis  				veulent, c’est tout simplement réorganiser leur présence (armée,  				surtout) et celle de leurs alliés dans la région, et en premier  				lieu l’allié israélien. Il n’est nullement question d’un retrait  				total des troupes, ni hors de l’Irak, ni de l’Arabie saoudite ou  				des bases érigées au Qatar ou au Kuweit. Ce que préconise  				Washington, c’est une plus grande participation de l’OTAN et des  				européens à ses projets guerriers. Voilà tout.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Et, si certains trouvent que c’est en  				l’honneur de George Mitchell de tenter une solution de paix  				durable entre les Palestiniens et les Israéliens, ainsi que dans  				la région, à l’exemple de celle qu’il avait trouvée auparavant  				pour résoudre une crise de 800 ans en Irlande, nous leur disons  				que ce n’est ni Mitchell ni les Etats-Unis qui ont mis au point  				la solution pour l’Irlande : Ils se sont contentés d’entériner  				une paix voulue par les belligérants irlandais qui étaient  				parvenus à l’idée qu’il fallait des concessions mutuelles pour  				arriver à la paix ; ce qui n’est pas le cas d’Israël. Ni même  				des Etats-Unis. Nous ajoutons que les intérêts en jeu dans un  				pays agricole sont très différents de ceux où il est question de  				pétrole et de gaz naturel.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sur ces bases, il nous apparaît que le  				soi-disant projet de paix mis au point par Mitchell n’est autre  				qu’un projet de guerre entre Palestiniens et, aussi, entre les  				différents pays arabes qui se verront divisés sur une illusion  				mensongère, comme ils le furent du temps du projet de Rogers ou  				de celui de Kissinger. Et, si certains gouverneurs arabes ou,  				même, tous sont convaincus des avances qui leur sont faites,  				dans un objectif de sauvegarder leurs régimes branlants,  				pourront-ils tenir tête à leurs peuples le jour où Israël  				déclarera Al Qods (vers laquelle a émigré le gouvernement  				israélien) capitale de « l’Etat des Juifs dans le monde ».  				Pourront-ils consentir à ce qu’Israël leur demande, à savoir :  				nier le droit au retour du peuple palestinien ?</p>
