LIBYA: A WAR OF PETROLEUM between ENI and BP? The turning point of There are several elements that encourage you to evaluate very carefully the current "news" about Libya. Unlike Egypt, Libya has masses of desperate urban, partly because the regime has adopted a paternalistic / care that prevents severe forms of poverty, and partly because they lack their masses, since we are talking about a uninhabited country, where even the official figure of four million resulting from population estimates rather inflated for what concerns the desert areas. There is also the question that the millions of demonstrators in Cairo visas avail themselves of the benevolent neutrality of the army, while the few thousand (?) Of peaceful protesters in Libya, according to the media would have been even under aerial bombardment and rockets: a particular that is quite unrealistic, and not because the scheme is not capable of much, but it is only an armed revolt - very well-armed - could withstand such a long treatment. So, rather than a revolt that would be a coup, and with lots of hooks in the areas of the Libyan regime. "Dictator" is a of those words can send fully in the critical sense of the public holiday "Western", which is why the media narrative of a spontaneous popular uprising, but it proves capable of occupying an entire city like Benghazi, gave rise so far this misgiving.
During the Christmas of 1989, the media tells us about a "revolt" against the Romanian dictator Ceausescu with twenty thousand deaths, but later proved completely false, of course, months later, when the news had lost centrality.
Another "detail" to be taken into account concerns the Libyan oil business, a business of such significance to have caused half a century of war with no holds barred between ENI on the one hand and the other Anglo-American multinationals, including BP. Even Qaddafi's coup against King Idris, considered a puppet of Italy, was certainly encouraged by the multinational Anglo American, though in a few years ENI regained lost ground in Libya. That the current "revolt" Libya may constitute yet another chapter in this war for oil is not a hypothesis to be discarded, because the real news of this hour is just that ENI is in danger of losing its main source of oil: Libya, in fact.
As has been mentioned by some in these days, Libya itself is an invention of Italian colonialism. In 1911 the then Chairman of the Board, the liberal Giolitti, declared war on the Ottoman Empire to tear the two provinces of North Africa, Tripoli and Cyrenaica, which were gathered in force under the name "Libya", a term evocative reminiscences from imperial Rome. The stirring up ethnic and tribal tensions between the different populations is also one of the instruments of domination of Italian colonialism, whose ruthless brutality has been well documented.
can not therefore be ruled out that the ethnic rivalry is still the lever with which other colonial powers now are trying to destabilize the regime of Gaddafi, even looked forward to the various tribal leaders the opportunity to co-manage the business of oil con le multinazionali anglo-americane. In tal caso l'afganizzazione della Libia costituirebbe un esito molto probabile, e del resto ogni aggressione coloniale, ed ogni resistenza ad essa, implicano inevitabilmente anche fenomeni di guerra civile. La cosiddetta "superpotenza" statunitense ha sempre mostrato limiti molto evidenti, ma il suo vero e duraturo punto di forza è dato dal costituire un punto di riferimento ed un alleato per i gruppi reazionari ed affaristici di tutto il mondo.
In questo periodo i media tendono anche a sopravvalutare l'effetto della destabilizzazione libica sui flussi migratori verso l'Italia. Le barche cariche di immigrati non costituiscono però il canale principale del traffico della migrazione clandestina, in quanto represent only a terrible distraction to divert attention from the real front doors of this traffic, that the dock areas under U.S. military control. In the port of Naples, for example, the U.S. Navy now controls more than half of the docks, military handled in the utmost secrecy, all this courtesy of the D'Alema government in 1999. Gadhafi has agreed to emphasize its role as policeman anti-immigration because it was a way to boast publicly merits against Italy and the European Union, but we must separate the hype from the propaganda of the actual dimensions of that role. The American military bases, as always, not only have a military function, but also the control of illegal trade, beginning with the heroin trade from Afghanistan.
A fixed element of disturbance of communication these days is the cliche of "friendship", the personal relationship seasoned kiss, between Berlusconi and Gaddafi, so it has become a subject of controversy assumed the long silence held by the Italian Government of repression that would be happening in Libya. In fact, for everything related to energy, and ENI, ENI, and only the holder of each unique and historic initiative of the Italian foreign policy. Even the giant UniCredit, Impregilo and Finmeccanica, for their business in Libya, you are hooked the consortium of ENI.
The effective capacity of Berlusconi to support his alleged preferential axis with Gaddafi has arisen in Brussels, when the non-Foreign Minister Frattini was appended passively to a position of condemning the Libyan regime, is more inspired by a country in a blatant conflict of interests such as Great Britain, who married each other in the course of his thesis oil multinational, which is the former British Petroleum, Beyond Petroleum today. Frattini and Berlusconi himself were then repeating facts of the news agency that would occur about the repression in Libya, although the evidence does not confirm the Italians displaced at all.
From the "revelations" Wikileaks has come out of the image of a weak Berlusconi, in the passive role of yes men in the United States, although they deserve pats on the back in international summits. The half-truths, however, are likely to convey lies whole, and the idea that the United States merely to take advantage of the inconsistency of human and political Berlusconi, whereas the key of colonialism is precisely to create in the colonized countries of weak leadership and hyper -corrupt.
The problem is not just about the blackmail of Berlusconi, but the blackmail to which they are subjected to incapacitate his opponents, always timid and hesitant in the decisive moments. Even "The Daily Done" now pretends di dimenticarsi di aver denunciato per tre anni che la vera stampella del governo Berlusconi è stato in effetti il Presidente della Repubblica, e lo stesso quotidiano risulta ora allineato all'opera di santificazione mediatica di Napolitano, omettendo la storia dei suoi ambigui rapporti con gli USA già dall'epoca in cui militava nel Partito Comunista Italiano.
In questi decenni l'ENI ha usato la sua potenza finanziaria per imporre i propri affari ai governi di turno lasciando loro la vetrina mediatica, una vetrina di cui Berlusconi ha abusato più di tutti perché costituiva l'unico modo per mascherare la sua pochezza. Ma la politica dell'ENI da tempo sta mostrando la corda, poiché risulta evidente che un governo fantoccio di servitù coloniale agli USA non soltanto non può difendere gli affari dell'ente in questi momenti di crisi acuta, ma addirittura costituisce un nemico in più.
