After the recent public revelations of the boss Carmine Schiavone on the presence of vast underground areas of the Campania region of an impressive quantity of toxic and radioactive waste , and after the 82 investigations initiated by the judiciary for illegal trafficking of waste , a new survey provides us with data extremely alarming.
This time it is not an investigation game from our attorney, but the U.S. military laboratories . The U.S. armed forces are present in Campania , since the " liberation" , with numerous military bases and installations . And it was so natural that even they would realize that those parts there was something wrong , finding that led to the completion of thorough scientific examination by the amazing results , presented exclusively on the new issue of L'Espresso .
A first move was the U.S. Navy , whose command of Naples ordered to perform two years of exams , which cost some 30 million dollars . The aim was to understand and determine how dangerous it was to live in Campania for the U.S. military and their families.
And the results have gone beyond imagination , providing further evidence of the terrible environmental catastrophe caused in recent decades by the deadly plot political- mafia - business that revolves around the illegal trafficking of waste . So much so that perhaps the old slogan of the Left " Out of Italy from NATO, NATO out from Italy," much like a mantra shouted in the streets of demonstrations in decades , will be realized with a flight of Yankee troops not certain, however, due to the harmless slogan of the Communists, but the presence of a far more deadly enemy , an enemy who has outshone even the people in the world that is known to be one that pollute!
" Thereafter than ' grief could fasting ... " declaimed the great poet Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy Canto XXXIII . To paraphrase Dante , I'm thinking that " Poscia more than ' the clamor could the waste ( toxic) " where they failed demonstrations and slogans of the left, probably will not fail his deadly plot - criminal business ...
But let's get to the data. According to a report in L'Espresso , 2009-2011 has been fathomed by scientists at the U.S. military an area of ​​over 1,000 square kilometers , with analysis of air, water and soil in areas where there are ten U.S. bases , with the ' objective to seek 214 harmful substances. But the thing that most upset is that the findings of the U.S. report , which will summarize now , have been made known to our authorities for a long time , and of course, as always happens in the beautiful country , have been ignored and swept under the carpet .
The results are disturbing and speak for themselves. The two provinces most affected by the poisons are obviously those of Naples and Caserta , where U.S. experts have identified places with " unacceptable risk to human health " spread a little ' everywhere in the two territories , reaching also affect the center of Naples. It would therefore be impossible to indicate safe areas where reside ( the soil is heavily polluted even where there is the sumptuous villa of Posillipo in the Admiral's boss!) And the U.S. armed forces in Campania were given the directive to use only bottled water for drinking, cooking , making ice and brushing teeth . It was also recommended to the military to reside on the ground floor of the houses , because of the poisons that evaporate from the soil , and avoid staying in cellars or underground garages .
There are also three " red zones " , between the towns of Casal di Principe , Villa Literno , Marcianise , Casoria and Arzano , where the U.S. military and their families is strictly forbidden to take home, because of the rate of deadly carcinogens present in wells and aquifers, and for toxic gases that are given off from the land .
The article also reveals that the Espresso in large and complex U.S. military Capodichino Gricignano d'Aversa threats to health are considered "acceptable" only in the event of a short stay . U.S. personnel there indeed remains on average two years and , in any case , never more than six : a deadline that must not be exceeded for safety reasons .
The command of the U.S. Navy was mobilized for a long time , two years before the start of these tests, having had the opportunity to experience the high toxicity of soil and water and the alarming incidence of disease among military personnel and denouncing the limited ability to access all documentation Italian deficient or absent , and the role of organized crime in this apocalyptic environmental destruction . "We started by considering that in Italy there were no rules , no good mechanism to enforce them ," said the naval command the stars and stripes . And again: " Over time it became clear that the inability to enforce the law on the part of the institutions has contributed to this situation."
The most alarming concern obviously the water : 92% of private wells that supply houses constitute " an unacceptable risk to health," and it was found by the investigators that the U.S. illegal water wells can penetrate into a pipeline urban water , with devastating effects. In particular, "with the low pressure of the summer months , the poisons can end up in landfills all the taps ."
The parade of horrors highlighted by the American report is very long and goes disquieting presence of uranium in groundwater , due to the traffic of radioactive sludge from Germany , until the issue of lethal fumes from underground , " dense fumes of carcinogenic substances , which remain at ground level and penetrate the ground floor of the houses , from cracks in the walls and pipes. An invisible poltergeist that envelops people in the living room or bedroom . " So much so that , only for the area of ​​Naples, " if we estimate the effect of all poisons, the Neapolitans are at risk of cancer and asthma five times higher than those of a resident of New York and Los Angeles."
Found that, out of a total of more than 2,500 contaminated sites officially surveyed on the ground in Campania , the Italian authorities have reclaimed only 13 , formerly of 2011 U.S. troops have gradually barricaded in their bases , where they have installed equipment to make sure the water and constantly monitor the status of the air with a tower cost over 300,000 dollars . And the leases in residential complexes outside the bases ( such as those of Eva Park and Park The Broom ) were canceled .
The one that has shocked the American military authorities is the attitude of our authorities : in spite of the utmost cooperation offer to our institutions since the beginning of the ' "Operation Naples ," and despite the results of the tests readily supplied ISPRA ( Istituto Superiore for the Protection of the Environment) , Civil Protection and local governments , the U.S. Command noted the lack of answers.
An eerie silence like that of death , continues to be part of our institutions.
Where is the judiciary? And where are the politicians?
How many people will get sick and die of cancer before the freeloader of the parliament and the government to stop playing the primaries , divisions and the feasts and finally open their eyes to the real problems of the country?
