“The Art of War”

The US model for « sovereign » government

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 31 July 2019
On the occasion of the grotesque speech by Giuseppe Conte before the Italian ambassadors, Manlio Dinucci reminds us that whatever the sympathy we may have for the people of the United States, their country is still the main predator of humanity. We can in no circumstance claim to share their «values».

An assault ship for the new Crusaders

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 1 June 2019
Italy has just launched a magnificent military ship, the Trieste, in the presence of the political, military and religious authorities. So why did Manlio Dinucci have to ruin the celebrations by revealing certain uncomfortable truths ?

How Italy earned the status of « Great Nation »

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 28 March 2019
Massimo D’Alema entered into history by leading his country, Italy, into NATO’s criminal war against ex-Yugoslavia. At that time, the world had become unipolar, and no-one in the West was worried about violating international law and launching a war against the decision of the Security Council. The same D’Alema is working today to create a Greater Albania which includes what is currently Kosovo.

Italian special forces at Camp Darby

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 5 March 2019
The reorganisation of the US base Camp Darby (Italy) masks the transfer of special forces to US command. This system already existed in the past. It was this mechanism which enabled the creation of Gladio, the service for NATO’s secret actions in Italy. Since December 2015 (article 7bis of Law 198), the President of the Italian Council has the possibility of pursuing military operations by Intelligence operations. This news gives more weight to the hypothesis that we published two months ago – NATO is preparing a wave of attacks in Europe.

The political power of weapons

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 2 October 2018
Contrary to official communications and comments from the different political parties, no-one is opposed to the expenditure by the new Italian government. All political formations support the growth of military spending, even if it is in no way required by the current situation.

Remarks by Giuseppe Conte to the 73rd Session of the United Nations General Assembly

by Giuseppe Conte

New York (USA) | 26 September 2018
Madam President,
Mr. Secretary-General,
Distinguished Delegates,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am honored to take the floor today before this Assembly as the spokesman of the will of the Italian Government and people to confirm our commitment alongside and in favor of the United Nations.
In a global context that is .increasingly fragmented, multipolar, and in constant evolution, we are convinced, in fact, that the international community needs more effective multilateralism and a United (...)

Trees slaughtered, Camp Darby made more potent

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 22 September 2018
Since the reorganisation of 2012, the US base of Camp Darby in Italy no longer houses the field hospitals for the Middle East. It has become both a vast reserve for the grocery stores of other Western American bases and a gigantic arsenal. Far from shrinking, as had been announced, the camp just keeps getting bigger.

Largest US weapons store – in Italy

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 12 September 2018
At the end of the Second World War, allied troops occupied the European continent. While France and Russia have withdrawn today, the United States and the United Kingdom still maintain troops there. For the last year, planning for a world war against China and Russia, the Pentagon is using numerous bases in Italy to massively increase the storage of its weapons in Europe, including nuclear bombs.

A sovereignist Italy without sovereignty

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 5 September 2018
Far from leading the sovereignist policy that it claims to honour, the Conte government has engaged in Libya under US command. True sovereignty is not measured by speeches, but by actions, particularly in the respect of one’s own Constitution.

Trump backs Italy against France in Libya

7 August 2018
On 21 July 2018, US President Donald Trump received the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, publicly confirming that he acknowledged Italy’s pre-eminence in Libya.
By doing so, the White House undermined France’s efforts to appropriate Libyan oil.
During the war that the Obama Administration brought into motion against Libya, Silvio Berlusconi (Italy’s Prime Minister at the time), was the only Western leader that tried to defend the Libyan Guide Muammar al-Gaddafi. However, the Italian (...)

Italy, Behind the Parade

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 8 June 2018
The event on June 2nd (the day in 1946 when Italy became a Republic) was not a military parade, not even a parade, but a "review", according to the Ministry of Defense that directed it (Minister Pinotti’s final act).
The parade at the Fori Imperiali - in front of the newly-installed government - was symbolically opened by 330 mayors representing civil society, followed by all the sectors of the Armed Forces, to celebrate "Italians’ Day - United for the Country”.
In his message, President of (...)

For Italy – a new government, the same "privileged ally"

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 24 May 2018
The "Contract for the Government of Change" - stipulated by Luigi Di Maio and Matteo Salvini on behalf of the 5 Star Movement and the League - on the one hand "confirms Italy’s membership of the Atlantic Alliance, with the United States of America as a privileged ally”, and on the other, promises "an open-minded attiutude to Russia, which should be perceived not as a threat but as an economic and commercial partner (which would imply the withdrawal of sanctions), to be rehabilitated as a (...)

Seventy years of subjection to the US and NATO

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 25 April 2018
Manlio Dinucci summarizes seventy years of relations between Italy on the one hand, the United States and NATO on the other. Leaving aside the question of terrorism under false flag organized by the Alliance on Italian soil during the 70s, he notes only the commitment of the Italian armies on behalf of his "ally"; a story that speaks for itself.

Italy in arms: from the Baltic to Africa

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 27 January 2018
When Nato Member States use force to occupy foreign states, they are always ready with some excuse. It is “to support them”. Italy is not derogating from this rule. From the Baltics to Africa, the Italian presence is virtually felt throughout.

Italy-Israel: the Fighter-Jet Diplomacy

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 14 December 2017
European Leaders – from the EU’s foreign representative Mogherini to Premier Gentiloni, from President Macron to Chancellor Merkel – have formally stepped back from both the US and Israel on the status of Jerusalem. Is a rift between the allies emerging?
The facts would indicate quite the contrary. Just before Trump took his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, yet at a time when the dye had already been cast, Operation Blue Flag 2017 was executed. This is the biggest (...)

Pentagon’s colossal works are funded by us

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 14 December 2017
Colossal works are emerging on our territory both in Northern Italy and Southern Italy. Are we talking about those for which the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is responsible? Works that has every tongue wagging? Not at all! We’re talking about those thought up by the Pentagon that no one mentions. And yet most of these works are funded with our money and bring with them growing risks for us Italians:
At Ghedi’s military airport (Brescia): the plan kicks off to spend more than 60 (...)

The True Impact of the Italian Pentagon

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 4 November 2017
While the French armed forces are already set up in their new Pentagon, Italy is only now starting to construct its. Across the board, Nato member states are organizing themselves along the lines of the prototype laid out by their superior: the United States. This change in location corresponds to yet another evolution: a change in resources and objectives.

Great Nuclear Manoeuvres in the Italian House.

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 4 October 2017
Nato has rejected nuclear disarmament and the Italian Parliament has effectively ratified this decision. The Italian Parliament did so by resorting to a fairy tale of a transatlantic alliance where each member has an equal say. This story-telling is divorced from reality as in 2011, Nato did not simply overreach the terms of a UN resolution when it attacked Libya to secure a regime change, it also violated its own statutes by failing to convene the North Atlantic Council to obtain the go-ahead. The conclusion has to be that the idea that this Council could pre-empt the Alliance transforming into an imperialist venture is a deceit known by all its members.

Now in orbit: the first “Italian” spy satellite

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 3 August 2017
Yesterday the Italian Defense Ministry’s satellite Optsat-3000 was launched in French Guyana, with a Vega rocket from the European Space Agency. What is interesting is that while the rocket was built in Italy (Avio), the actual satellite was made in Israel. The Italians purchased it in 2012, pursuant to a military cooperation agreement between Rome and Tel Aviv. Under this agreement, Alenia Aermacchi (the trading arm of Finmeccanica, now Leonardo) agreed to supply Israel 30 M-346 military (...)

When it comes to military expenditure, Italy can hold its head high

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 2 May 2017
It appears from Sipri’s (the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) Annual Statement on International Arms Trade that there has been a sharp increase in Italian exports during 2016. This result must be read in the context of Washington’s repeated request to its Nato members to increase their military expenditure; a request repeated yet again by President Trump, strongly encouraging his NATO allies to follow through with it.

Pinotti’s Mini-Pentagon

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 15 March 2017
Following France’s example, Italy is going to centralize all its armed forces within a local Pentagon. One by one, each Nato member will be invited to restructure, following the example of the US, its big brother. Violating the Italian Constitution, this evolution radically changes the armed forces’ missions.

Nuclear Drowsiness Strikes

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 28 February 2017
Don’t think for a minute that Italy has decided to make good on its signature to the Non Proliferation Treaty. It’s just that the Italian representative to the UN General Assembly was completely exhausted and unfortunately pressed the wrong button when he voted.

The White Book – a recipe for a bloodless coup

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 15 February 2017
A long, winding descent has the following result: now, the new White Book of Italian Defence places a new card on the table: the option of declaring war. While the Italian Constitution outlaws war as a weapon to make an assault on the freedom of other peoples and as a means of resolving international disputes, the political class swears its allegiance to Nato and US imperialism. And this, despite the fact that an anti-imperialist has just entered the White House.

Italy : No to military “reform”

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 7 December 2016
Centralization: this was the overriding mission of the Constitutional reform proposed to and rejected by the Italian people. Thus the proposal was to increase the powers of the Prime Minister and take away the correlating powers vested in the regions. The reform also made no headway on wiping out the prohibition on war contained in article 11 of the Italian Constitution.

How to vote No to Nuclear Weapons

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 2 November 2016
The US has just discarded a proposal by its allies in the First Committee of the UN General Assembly seeking the total elimination of nuclear weapons. However States illegally harbouring US nuclear bombs may request their removal from their territory by virtue of art 2 of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Crystal Clear Agreements: Enduring subordination

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 27 October 2016
President Barack Obama was absolutely right to pat himself on the back for “the crystal clear agreements [and] long friendship” that united his country to Italy. In actual fact, that European state is “welded from the hip” to its US suzerain by a number of treaties and a long history.

Democracy Reduced to Rubble

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 9 September 2016
Manlio Dinucci takes another look at the impropriety of Italy’s display of solidarity with the victims of the earthquake that has just struck the heart of Italy. Why improper? Because it sends out the message that Italy has complete contempt for the victims of the wars that it, in collusion with Nato, is secretly engaged in.

The «Reform» of Article 11

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 26 April 2016
First published April 12, 2012
A «radical structural reform»: this is how Minister Di Paola defines the revision of the military instrument that the Monti government presented on his proposal. There is no doubt that it is radical. For more than 20 years, bipartisan moles are ferretting out Art. 11 of the Constitution («outlawing war as a tool of attacking the freedoms of other peoples and as a means of resolving international disputes»).

Rome (Italy) | 17 April 2016
First published January 19, 2016
On 25 January we must commemorate an important anniversary: the first Gulf War. This is the first war in which the Italian Republic participates, violating the principle declared in Art 11 of its Constitution, that «Italy repudiates war as a means of attacking the freedom of other people and as a means of international dispute resolution».
In September 1990, on the decision of the sixth Andreotti government, Italy sends to the Al Dhafra base in the United (...)

Moby Prince, the Usa Trail

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 12 April 2016
“Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, Moby Prince, we’re colliding! We are on fire! We need help!”: this is the dramatic message sent 25 years ago at 22:26 on 10 April 1991, from the cruiser Moby Prince, which entered into collision with the oil tanker Agip Abruzzo, in the roadstead of the port of Livorno.
A cry for help that was unheard: 140 die after waiting in vain for hours for help. A request for justice unheard: for 25 years, the relatives sought in vain for the truth. After three inquiries and two (...)
