TRE PARTITI LOCALI CHIEDONO L'INTERNAZIONALIZZAZIONE
DEL "PROBLEMA" DELLA VOJVODINA

THREE LOCAL PARTIES URGE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF "VOJVODINA ISSUE"
NOVI SAD, July 25 (Tanjug) Three regional parties in Vojvodina
Wednesday expressed readiness to seek the internationalization of the
socalled Vojvodina issue if the ruling Democratic Opposition of Serbia
(DOS) kept on postponing the process of granting bigger autonomous
rights to the northern Serbian province.
League of Vojvodina Hungarians President Jozef Kasa said today
after a meeting in Novi Sad with leaders Nenad Canak of the
Socialdemocratic League and Miodrag Isakov of the Vojvodina Reformists,
that by internationalization he meant "seeking help from the
international community to realize our demands using all means except
military."
The leaders of the three leading, socalled authentic Vojvodina
parties, which are within the DOS coalition, agreed to ask the DOS
Presidency immediately to meet in session and open a debate on the
status of Vojvodina.
Moreover, the DOS Presidency is asked to secure in the republican
parliament the adoption of a law amending and abolishing legislature
which prevents the Constitutionally guaranteed autonomy of Vojvodina
before a new Serbian Constitution is adopted.
The three party leaders underscored that these demands did not
imply their exit from DOS.
Today's meeting was marked as the beginning of creating a wide
political front for fighting for the realization of Vojvodina's
autonomy.
All authentic Vojvodina parties will join this front, Isakov said, "but
also some Belgradebased parties which have provincial boards and support
the demands for resolving the problem of Vojvodina."

IL LEADER DELLA D.O.S. CANAK SOFFIA SULLA "AUTONOMIA"

VOJVODINA CITIZENS WILL DECIDE ABOUT VOJVODINA
BELGRADE, April 17 (Tanjug) The platform on Vojvodina's autonomy
is a legalistic document which should enable an acceptable functioning
of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina until the Constitution is
amended, Vojvodina parliament Speaker and Vojvodina SocialDemocratic
League President Nenad Canak told the Belgrade daily Blic on Tuesday.
The platform has not been met with understanding in Belgrade,
Canak said, warning that "they should pay much greater care and
attention to what is coming from Novi Sad, so that it is not too late
one day."
"Who does not grant autonomy will have to grant republic status,
and who refuses to grant republic status will not be asked anything any
more," Canak said.
Unless we find partners in Serbia who will realize the importance
and complexity of the Vojvodina issue, "then the Vojvodina issue will
become a Vojvodina problem," Canak said.
"If the Vojvodina problem appears, then the Vojvodina parliament
will call a referendum in which Vojvodina citizens will declare
themselves on it," he said.
The plan is that Vojvodina's position will be resolved with a vote
at the Serbian parliament, but this will not pass, since Vojvodina is a
legal entity, Canak said.

L'AMBASCIATORE STATUNITENSE IN VISITA A NOVI SAD SOSTIENE LA
"PIENA AUTONOMIA"...

US AMBASSADOR VISITS NOVI SAD
NOVI SAD, Jun 4 (Tanjug) The Vojvodina (Serbia's northern
province) parliament Speaker Nenad Canak received Monday in provincial
capital Novi Sad the US Ambassador to Yugoslavia William Montgomery, the
provincial information secretariat said in a statement.
Canak briefed Montgomery of the proposals for amending about a
dozen Serbian laws submitted by the Vojvodina parliament to the Serbian
parliament, and of the lack of understanding with which the proposals
have been met.
Systemrelated changes in Serbia are slow, Canak said, pointing to
the failure to pass important laws, such as a law on privatization.
Canak reiterated Vojvodina's demand that the money from privatization be
reinvested immediately instead of being directed to Serbia's budget.
The talk also focused on redefining relations within the Yugoslav
federation and on Vojvodina's endeavors for determining its status and
for full autonomy.

DELEGAZIONE OSCE IN VISITA SOSTIENE IL "PROCESSO DI DECENTRAMENTO"...

OSCE DELEGATION VISITS SERBIA'S VOJVODINA PARLIAMENT
NOVI SAD, June 19 (Tanjug) A delegation of the Organisation for
Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) had talks on Tuesday at the
Assembly (parliament) of the Yugoslav federal unit Serbia's northern
Vojvodina province.
The delegation, headed by OSCE Yugoslav Mission Chief Stefano
Sannino, met with Vojvodina Parliament Speaker Nenad Canak. A Vojvodina
government statement quotes them as reviewing the political and economic
situation in Vojvodina and the rest of the country in the light of new
Serbian legislation, and rights acquired by the provincial parliament in
the decentralisation process.

IL PARLAMENTO UNGHERESE PASSA LA LEGGE PER LA PROTEZIONE
DEGLI UNGHERESI ALL'ESTERO...

LJAJIC: BELGRADE TO MONITOR CONTROVERSIAL HUNGARIAN LAW
BELGRADE, June 20 (Sense/AFP) Yugoslavia said today it would
monitor a controversial law passed by the Hungarian parliament yesterday
offering benefits to some 3.5 million ethnic Hungarians living abroad.
The legislation grants ethnic Hungarians or Magyars living in
neighbouring states the right to work legally for three months in
Hungary, to claim social and health care rights, free university
education, training courses and travel allowances.
"If the purpose of the law is to preserve the identity of ethnic
Hungarians in other countries, including Yugoslavia, we will not look on
it with caution. But we will monitor its implementation and react
accordingly," Yugoslav Minister for Ethnic Minorities Rasim Ljajic
announced.
Yugoslavia has an ethnic Hungarian minority in the north of the
country but has reacted to the bill with less concern than other
neighbouring states - Romania and Slovakia.
Ljajic expressed understanding for their misgivings and insisted
Yugoslavia would be cautious, monitor implementation of the law and act
accordingly.
In many ways the attitude of Hungary's other neighbours differs
from that of Yugoslavia, the minister for ethnic minorities explained,
commenting, "We don't want and are not in a position to open up a new
front towards Hungary."
"There are at least three good reasons for this," he added:
"Hungary is our neighbour, it is our gateway to Europe and we have a
considerable Hungarian minority."

WAR CRIMES AND THE HAGUE TRIBUNAL
July 30, 2001


[Stan Goff is a Retired U.S. Special Forces Master
Sargent, an author, Organizer for the North Carolina
Alliance for Democracy and a member of the
International Committeee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic.
(ICDSM)]

What do you call someone who pays officials to break
the law, threatens people with violence if they don't
do what he demands, spreads outrageous lies to impugn
people's reputations, and participates in a plot to
illegally take an unwilling person out of the country
in captivity?

Guilty of bribery, extortion, slander and kidnapping.

What do you call a government which does precisely
those things?

The United States in Yugoslavia.

Let's get something straight here. The International
Tribunal at the Hague is no more an impartial
judiciary (1) than Geraldo Rivera is a neurosurgeon,
and Slobodan Milosevic is no war criminal. These are
just simply facts, and the thing that--even at
50--still amazes my ass is the sheep-like, gullible,
we-just-fell-off-the-turnip-truck acceptance of the
capitalist media's horse-manure by comfortable fellow
Americans.

United States military troops are occupying the
Balkans, many of them with relatives who might read
this, and very few people seem the least bit inclined
to find out what's really going on there. So they
listen to CNN, read the 'New York Times' or the 'News
and Observer,' watch PBS, or listen to NPR, brought to
you by... name your favorite agribusiness or weapons
contractor... and believe them.

I've got a news flash for you, folks. The media lie.
They lie early and often, and they keep on telling the
same lies over and over, apparently in the
well-founded hope that we will simply and finally
equate repetition with accuracy. (2)

Slobodan Milosevic is no war criminal. Nor was he a
dictator. (3)

Until the US started a massive campaign of extortion,
bribery and election-rigging in Serbia, he won his
elections fair and square--unlike the current de facto
President of the United States. Nor did Milsoevic ever
lead the non-existent movement for Greater Serbia. Nor
do Serbs collectively "share" any blame for whatever
flavor-of-the-day atrocity is being invented by the
IMF, the State Department, NATO Headquarters in
Brussels, or that fake Tribunal.

Serbs are as fractious and pluralistic as any group,
especially about politics, deeply split even today
between nationalists and socialists. What they are
not, contrary to the recent resurgence of
Serb-bashing, is self-pitying and paranoid. They are
one of the most stoic, and tolerant, people in Europe.


The distortions that underwrite this latest violation
of Yugoslav and International law--the veritable
kidnapping of a former head of state--would make
Joseph Goebbels blush. Crimes were invented to fit the
punishment of the Serbs. Allegations were reported as
facts, then referenced later as if they really were
facts. The mounting evidence of a giant hoax in almost
every case has been completely ignored by capitalist
media. The effect--intended I think--is to create an
impression so overwhelming of Serbian guilt that to
question it is to be regarded as a miscreant holocaust
denier. Guilt by analogy. Milosevic equals Hitler,
therefore defending Serbians equals defending Nazis (a
huge irony here, since Serbs were tenacious and
fearless fighters against the Third Reich). There's
only one little rub. The Holocaust has been well
documented by the physical evidence. The Serbians'
guilt, and that of Milosevic, has not.

But skepticism, fact-checking, and logic have become
forbidden foreign languages in the United States,
especially our (laugh track here) "free" press.

The overwhelming evidence is that there was never any
coordinated campaign of genocide or ethnic cleansing
by Serbs, no massacres at either Racek or Srebrenica,
and never any such thing as Serbian "rape camps." The
Kosovo violence was initiated by Albanian
heroin-gangsters, who named themselves the Kosovo
Liberation Army once they started to get weapons and
training from German and US Intelligence. The mass
exodus out of Kosovo was not triggered by Serb
violence, but by NATO bombing. The reports of 100,000
Kosovar Albanians killed has yet to be corroborated
with bodies, and is being quietly scaled ever downward
as the bodies fail to appear. Racek was shown to be
staged. The bodies from the Srebrenica "massacre" were
never located either, and in fact many of the
"missing" later turned up alive and accounted for in
Bosnian Muslim combat units outside Srebrenica. The US
and the psuedo-Tribunal have an answer for the missing
evidence, those tens of thousands of corpses, that is.
Right under the noses of US surveillance
satellites--and I have seen imagery from them that can
spot a motorcycle and rider--the crafty Serbs,
undetected, moved thousands of decomposing bodies to
other locations... still to be discovered. (4)

Right!

The break-up of Yugoslavia has been largely due to the
efforts of US and German gambits, with substantial
help from the International Monetary Fund, since the
late 1980's. To justify this economic warfare, this
trampling of sovereignty, this military aggression,
these massive violations by NATO and the US of the Law
of Land Warfare and the Geneva and Hague Conventions,
and the military occupation of the Balkans, our
government and its international financier pals have
had to concoct an elaborate Manichean fantasy with
Serbs as the heavy.

Don't take my word for it, but don't look for a
one-paragraph rebuttal either. Understanding requires
study and work. If you're inclined to swim upstream in
this perennial flood of stubborn American ignorance,
read the research and reports from Michel
Chussodovsky, Diane Johnstone, and Jared Israel - none
of them Serbian or Yugoslav, and all of them proud
progressives. They are archived at
www.emperors-clothes.com . An apt name for that web
site, if ever there was one. (5) (6) & (7)

The Hague Tribunal is about war crimes, all right.
It's about covering up the war crimes of the North
American Treaty Organization and the US Government.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING REALLY SHRILL ABOUT MACEDONIA...
by Rick Rozoff and Jared Israel [27 July 2001]

Below is a 'news' report from Agence France
Presse (AFP) concerning recent
protest demonstrations in Macedonia.

The 'AFP' report contains the shrill,
defamatory stereotypes used with
increasing frequency in the Western media to
describe Macedonians, both
ordinary citizens and officials.

We are witnessing one of those media
campaigns so uniform, scripted and
predictable - and consistently inaccurate -
that one has to suspect
coordination between the controlling elements
of the news media and certain
Western foreign offices and covert services.

Examples abound in this brief 'AFP' dispatch.
Macedonians are pointedly,
repeatedly and gratuitously identified as
'Slavs' (as opposed to what they
are - Macedonians!) and their actions are
labeled with such pejorative terms
as: 'irate,' 'mob,' 'incited,' 'escalated,'
'irresponsible' and 'immature.'

"Mob of angry Slavs" is the phrase of choice
indicating the mental image
intended for the reader. And it is have some
effect. Yesterday on one of the
major American liberal news Websites a press
wire headline read:
"Anti-Albanian Riots Explode In Macedonia."

'HONEY, IS SOMETHING MISSING FROM THE
ANTI-ALBANIAN RIOTS?' 'WHY YES, DEAR,
THEY AREN'T ANTI-ALBANIAN.'

We have read a dozen or so reports on the
protests and saw nothing factual to
suggest an anti-Albanian flavor. Rather, even
in these hostile Western media
reports one could see that the protesters
were focused and informed, with
clear political, not ethnic, targets: NATO,
the U.S., Britain and Germany,
all for their role in undermining Macedonian
sovereignty and assisting the
so-called NLA terrorists. And really,
shouldn't they be angry? NATO (led by
the U.S.) is after all trying to destroy
their country and their lives.

But "crowd of angry Slavs" is the message
that Western officials and their
always-obliging media are drilling into the
public's imagination.

Make no mistake, these distortions have a
purpose: to dehumanize the victims
of what is in fact going on in Macedonia,
that is, large scale ethnic
cleansing and national destruction

As has been the case throughout the assault
on Yugoslavia, the tone of
Imperial war propaganda is faux-liberal.

Here's how it worked starting with the
secession of Croatia and Slovenia back
in 1991, and, alas, how it is still working today.

A secessionist force is organized by the U.S.
and or Germany and or England.
This Western proxy force draws on elements
which hark back to the old Nazi
alliance of World War II - in this case, the
descendents of pro-Nazi
Albanians, mainly from Kosovo. This force is
ordered to attack, a process the
media misdescribes as a rebellion by an
oppressed local population. The
fascist flavor of the 'rebels' is hidden from
Western eyes. (In this case, we
hear little about the rallying cry of the
NATO proxy army attacking
Macedonia, which is "Greater Albania," i.e.,
the re-creation of the map of
the Balkans that existed only under Hitler.)
Moreover, the media ignores the
easily documented involvement of Western
operatives (in this case the
official NATO organization in Kosovo) in
sponsoring and directing the attack.
The attempts of the nation under attack to
defend itself are misdescribed as
brutal repression and the victims are accused
of racism.

What is the goal of this propaganda today? To
prevent the development of a
support movement for Macedonia among the
public in NATO countries. The
logical basis for supporting Macedonia is
that a) it is the victim of
Imperial attack, organized from Washington
and b) it is being attacked on a
racist basis, i.e. the attack appeals to
anti-Slavic racism within the
Albanian populations of the area. To prevent
this kind of support movement
from developing, the Western media and
government officials turn matters
upside down, portraying Macedonians as ethnic
chauvinists and opponents of
peace. One might call this strategy
"Outflanking opposition from the Left."
By feeding Western citizens the lie that
Macedonia's "problem" is
discrimination against Albanians which has
spawned an "extremist" response,
direct NATO intervention and occupation of
territory can be presented as
"peacekeeping" to "rebuild civil society" and
other fairy tales.

The propaganda works. After she had watched
the TV news, a decent but
uninformed American told one of us, "It's a
mess over there - I guess we
better do something." Little did she know:
'we' have!

President Bush's brief visit to the massive
U.S. military base ("Bondsteel"
of all things) in Kosovo Tuesday was meant to
deliver a message about
Macedonia. Or rather, several messages.

MESSAGE ONE: THE MEANING OF KOSOVO

First, he said Kosovo is for Washington the
model of progress through
intervention. He told U.S. troops (and, of
course, the world):

"Thanks to you and those who served before
you, the people of Kosovo are able
to buy food and find shelter, go to school,
and get medical help."

Since Kosovo's current reality is that an
estimated 350,000 non-Albanians and
anti-fascist Albanians have been driven from
their homes and are refugees in
Serbia or elsewhere, or are dead, since the
remaining Serbs and Roma
("Gypsies") live in conditions of terror,
including daily beatings rape and
murder, and we have documented the fact of
this terror, since the U.S. has
created in Kosovo a regime of open
gangsterism - for Bush to say:

"the people of Kosovo are able to buy food
and find shelter, go to school, and get medical help."

means that fascist tyranny is the U.S. model
for progress; thus in Macedonia as well.

Bush called for:
"a political settlement that 'addresses the
legitimate grievance of the
Albanian population while protecting
Macedonia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.'

Since in fact the issue in Macedonia has
nothing whatsoever to do with
"legitimate grievances" but rather involves
an invasion by U.S.-armed
terrorists, what is this but a call for the
Macedonians to surrender. Bush
emphasized that such was his intent by the
almost funny way he "threatened"
the KLA terrorists (many of them
UN-employed!) who are attacking Macedonia:

"..he also urged Kosovo Albanians to stop
fueling the Macedonian conflict and
'focus on Kosovo.'"

Surely that sent terror through the ranks of
the KLA or NLA or Kosovo
Protection Corps - or NATO! - take your pick.

MESSAGE TWO: "LISTEN UP YOU DARN ALBANIANS!"

All of this constitutes a message also to
those whom NATO's "NLA" proxy army
has been targeting for recruits: Macedonians
of Albanian descent. These
ethnic Albanians have not been sufficiently
receptive to the mix of terror
and promises of 'Greater Albania' which the
Kosovo Liberation Army invaders
have used in the effort to elicit their
"participation" in the "rebellion."
Bush is telling these ethnic Albanians:
Kosovo is our model. We are backing
the terrorist secessionists in Macedonia just
as strongly as we backed them
in Kosovo, so join up or when our boys take
over you can kiss your behind
goodbye. This, as we have discussed
elsewhere, is the basic 'recruiting'
strategy of the U.S. proxy force, the Kosovo
Liberation Army.

If you think this sounds terribly
conspiratorial, that a U.S. president would
never promise ethnic harmony and deliver
racist terror, just read the
article, "What NATO Occupation Would Mean For
Macedonians." Prior to
occupation, NATO promised everything to Serbs
in Kosovo. After occupation, it
delivered a nightmare.

MESSAGE THREE: THE U.S. IS READY TO OPENLY
SEND IN TROOPS

But perhaps the key thing said by Bush was:

"America's contribution is essential, both
militarily and politically."
('N.Y. Times,' 25 July 2001).

Many people were fooled by Bush's election
promise to pull out of the
Balkans. Instead of pulling out, he has
continued with Clinton's policies,
including the attack on Macedonia and the
further encirclement of Russia with
NATO bases. The continuity of these policies
from elder Bush to Clinton to
baby Bush means that U.S. policy is not
dependent on the whims or personal
economic interests of members of this or that
US presidential administration,
but rather is part of far-ranging strategic
goals of the U.S. establishment,
that is, the financial interests usually
called Wall Street. The big prize is
the former Soviet Union, the attempted
conquest of which requires securing
the Balkans as the southern staging ground
for attack.

The "Kosovication" of Macedonia is part of
that strategy. Bush's trip set the
stage for a greatly intensified attack,
including heightened demonization of
Macedonia in the Western media, and direct
NATO intervention. An ominous
note: the U.S. is pulling its Embassy
personnel out of Skopje. That is
precisely what the U.S. did before bombing
Yugoslavia.

And of course, the story below says it all:
the Macedonians' justified
protests at NATO's sponsorship of terrorist
invaders can be used as an excuse
for - NATO invasion!

Here's the report from Agence France Presse (AFP):

JI & RR
Thursday July 26, 9:43 AM

US troops placed on alert after violence in
Macedonia

WASHINGTON, July 25 (AFP) - An unspecified
number of US troops in Europe were
on alert Wednesday after attacks by irate
protesters threatened the US and
other Western embassies in Macedonia, a US
defense official said.

"We do have units which have been alerted,"
the official said on condition of
anonymity, refusing to elaborate.

Any decision whether to seek extra protection
rests with US ambassador to
Macedonia, Michael Einik, the official said,
though the State Department was
unaware of any such request late Wednesday,
an official with that agency told

The troop alert follows attacks late Tuesday
by violent protesters on
embassies in the Macedonian capital of
Skopje. A mob of angry Slavs, incited
by allegations NATO tacitly supports ethnic
Albanian rebels, damaged the US
and other embassies with hurled projectiles,
State Department officials said.

Despite the attacks, the United States
remained determined in its efforts to
help bring peace to Macedonia, though US
officials and Balkan experts
privately voiced concern the escalating
strife and emergence of anti-NATO
sentiment could complicate facilitating any
settlement.

"We continue to reach out to all the
political parties in the multi-ethnic
Macedonian government to continue promoting
their working together to find a
peaceful solution to this," State Department
spokesman Philip Reeker told reporters.

Reeker added that US special envoy for the
Balkans, James Pardew, met earlier
Wednesday with Macedonian President Boris
Trajkowski to discuss the situation.

The mob violence came as clashes between
Macedonian security forces and
ethnic Albanian rebels flared anew, while
refugees streamed out of the
contested northwestern town of Tetovo as
rebels advanced across northern Macedonia.

The Slav-dominated Macedonian government
neither condemned the violence nor
appealed for restraint Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the government of Prime Minister
Ljubco Georgievski, an opponent
of Trajkovski's, has accused NATO of siding
with the rebels and of seeking to
turn Macedonia into an international
protectorate under the control of the
Western alliance.

The State Department refuted the charge.

"These kind of irresponsible press reports...
irresponsible, immature
statements from certain political leaders,
are not helpful to the situation,"
Reeker said, denying that the United States
or other NATO countries backed Albanian rebels.

The administration of President George W.
Bush supported Macedonia "in its
territorial integrity, in its sovereignty and
in a future as a multi-ethnic
state," Reeker insisted.

Washington has become all too-aware that the
feud between Georgievski and
Trajkovski is increasingly compromising the
search for peace, with a top
administration official warning that
"political agendas aren't going to have
anything to do when they are in the midst of
a civil war and fighting for their lives."

Former National Security Council Balkans
analyst Ivo Daalder directly accused
Georgievski of trying to extract political
mileage from the conflict.

"He has no interest in negotiating because he
thinks he can win through the
use of force," Daalder told AFP.

"He doesn't want a compromise," making a
settlement in Macedonia "more
difficult but not impossible."

E' STATO ATTUATO UN "GOLPE BIANCO"?

Secondo una delle spiegazioni pi� largamente condivise,
l'uso di una violenza cos� efferata da parte delle forze
dell'ordine a Genova sarebbe derivato dalla scelta politica
dell'attuale governo di criminalizzare e quindi spezzare
e indebolire il movimento antiglobalizzazione - e nello stesso
tempo, pi� in generale, i movimenti di sinistra e di opposizione -
con operazioni di vero e proprio terrorismo nei confronti dei
partecipanti alle manifestazioni.
Per quanto questo obiettivo sia stato sicuramente calcolato
all'interno del piano messo in atto a Genova, questa sola
motivazione sembra, a mio avviso, insufficiente a giustificare
tutte le violenze gratuite contro tanti manifestanti pacifici
che il pi� delle volte avevano le mani alzate, e soprattutto
il blitz nella notte di sabato 21 alla Diaz e gli incredibili
eccessi nei confronti degli arrestati all'interno del carcere
di Bolzaneto.
Per il successo di un piano volto a demolire moralmente e
materialmente il movimento, erano infatti sufficienti l'uso
calcolato dei gruppi violenti sapientemente diretti, e
l'utilizzo delle TV e dei giornali in buona parte
ormai asserviti al potere economico. (Anzi, gli "eccessi" della
Scuola Diaz e di Bolzaneto, considerati alla luce di questo
solo obiettivo, sarebbero stati addirittura un errore, in quanto
si poteva prevedere che suscitassero reazioni e sdegno portando
alla riapertura del dibattito e delle indagini anche sugli eventi
precedenti).
C'� una spiegazione pi� convincente. Il salto di qualit� nell'uso
di una violenza senza scrupoli e di comportamenti apertamente fuori
da ogni regola � servito in realt� in primo luogo a spostare i
rapporti di forza all'interno della maggioranza a favore della
componente pi� reazionaria e schiettamente fascista (appoggiata
sicuramente, come minimo, dai servizi segreti statunitensi),
coinvolgendo le restanti componenti in un "bagno di sangue" dalle
cui responsabilit� possono sottrarsi adesso soltanto coprendole,
diventando quindi complici e di conseguenza ricattabili. Se le
cose stanno cos�, a partire da questo momento le scelte politiche
saranno determinate e imposte dalla componente uscita (per ora)
vittoriosa da questa operazione politico-militare. E forse
non � un caso se l'unico risultato politico di rilievo del vertice
dei G8 di cui siamo a conoscenza sia lo schierarsi dell'Italia
cos� platealmente al fianco degli USA nel momento in cui questi danno
il via a una nuova stagione di confronto politico e militare, fatto
che probabilmente divide i governi europei, e li divide anche al
loro interno.
Si tratta di un meccanismo collaudato che ha un nome, e che si
ricollega ai ben noti piani piduisti e quindi americani che hanno
attraversato come un filo rosso tutta la storia del dopoguerra in
Italia (paese a sovranit� limitata, e dopo questi avvenimenti,
limitatissima). Questo nome � "colpo di stato bianco".
