Persecuzione razziale, deportazione e sterminio di rom e sinti
by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky
The assassination of Benazir Bhutto has created conditions which contribute to the ongoing destabilization and fragmentation of Pakistan as a Nation.
The process of US sponsored "regime change", which normally consists in the re-formation of a fresh proxy government under new leaders has been broken. Discredited in the eyes of Pakistani public opinion, General Pervez Musharaf cannot remain in the seat of political power. But at the same time, the fake elections supported by the "international community" scheduled for January 2008, even if they were to be carried out, would not be accepted as legitimate, thereby creating a political impasse.
There are indications that the assassination of Benazir Bhutto was anticipated by US officials:
"It has been known for months that the Bush-Cheney administration and its allies have been maneuvering to strengthen their political control of Pakistan, paving the way for the expansion and deepening of the “war on terrorism” across the region.
Various American destabilization plans, known for months by officials and analysts, proposed the toppling of Pakistan's military...
The assassination of Bhutto appears to have been anticipated. There were even reports of “chatter” among US officials about the possible assassinations of either Pervez Musharraf or Benazir Bhutto, well before the actual attempts took place. (Larry Chin, Global Research, 29 December 2007)
Political Impasse
"Regime change" with a view to ensuring continuity under military rule is no longer the main thrust of US foreign policy. The regime of Pervez Musharraf cannot prevail. Washington's foreign policy course is to actively promote the political fragmentation and balkanization of Pakistan as a nation.
A new political leadership is anticipated but in all likelihood it will take on a very different shape, in relation to previous US sponsored regimes. One can expect that Washington will push for a compliant political leadership, with no commitment to the national interest, a leadership which will serve US imperial interests, while concurrently contributing under the disguise of "decentralization", to the weakening of the central government and the fracture of Pakistan's fragile federal structure.
The political impasse is deliberate. It is part of an evolving US foreign policy agenda, which favors disruption and disarray in the structures of the Pakistani State. Indirect rule by the Pakistani military and intelligence apparatus is to be replaced by more direct forms of US interference, including an expanded US military presence inside Pakistan.
This expanded military presence is also dictated by the Middle East-Central Asia geopolitical situation and Washington's ongoing plans to extend the Middle East war to a much broader area.The US has several military bases in Pakistan. It controls the country's air space. According to a recent report: "U.S. Special Forces are expected to vastly expand their presence in Pakistan, as part of an effort to train and support indigenous counter-insurgency forces and clandestine counterterrorism units" (William Arkin, Washington Post, December 2007).
The official justification and pretext for an increased military presence in Pakistan is to extend the "war on terrorism". Concurrently, to justify its counterrorism program, Washington is also beefing up its covert support to the "terrorists."
The Balkanization of Pakistan
Already in 2005, a report by the US National Intelligence Council and the CIA forecast a "Yugoslav-like fate" for Pakistan "in a decade with the country riven by civil war, bloodshed and inter-provincial rivalries, as seen recently in Balochistan." (Energy Compass, 2 March 2005). According to the NIC-CIA, Pakistan is slated to become a "failed state" by 2015, "as it would be affected by civil war, complete Talibanisation and struggle for control of its nuclear weapons". (Quoted by former Pakistan High Commissioner to UK, Wajid Shamsul Hasan, Times of India, 13 February 2005):
"Nascent democratic reforms will produce little change in the face of opposition from an entrenched political elite and radical Islamic parties. In a climate of continuing domestic turmoil, the Central government's control probably will be reduced to the Punjabi heartland and the economic hub of Karachi," the former diplomat quoted the NIC-CIA report as saying.
Expressing apprehension, Hasan asked, "are our military rulers working on a similar agenda or something that has been laid out for them in the various assessment reports over the years by the National Intelligence Council in joint collaboration with CIA?" (Ibid)
Continuity, characterized by the dominant role of the Pakistani military and intelligence has been scrapped in favor of political breakup and balkanization.
According to the NIC-CIA scenario, which Washington intends to carry out: "Pakistan will not recover easily from decades of political and economic mismanagement, divisive policies, lawlessness, corruption and ethnic friction," (Ibid) .The US course consists in fomenting social, ethnic and factional divisions and political fragmentation, including the territorial breakup of Pakistan. This course of action is also dictated by US war plans in relation to both Afghanistan and Iran.
This US agenda for Pakistan is similar to that applied throughout the broader Middle East Central Asian region. US strategy, supported by covert intelligence operations, consists in triggering ethnic and religious strife, abetting and financing secessionist movements while also weakening the institutions of the central government.
The broader objective is to fracture the Nation State and redraw the borders of Iraq, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Pakistan's Oil and Gas reserves
Pakistan's extensive oil and gas reserves, largely located in Balochistan province, as well as its pipeline corridors are considered strategic by the Anglo-American alliance, requiring the concurrent militarization of Pakistani territory.Balochistan comprises more than 40 percent of Pakistan's land mass, possesses important reserves of oil and natural gas as well as extensive mineral resources.
The Iran-India pipeline corridor is slated to transit through Balochistan. Balochistan also possesses a deap sea port largely financed by China located at Gwadar, on the Arabian Sea, not far from the Straits of Hormuz where 30 % of the world's daily oil supply moves by ship or pipeline. (Asia News.it, 29 December 2007)
Pakistan has an estimated 25.1 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven gas reserves of which 19 trillion are located in Balochistan. Among foreign oil and gas contractors in Balochistan are BP, Italy's ENI, Austria's OMV, and Australia's BHP. It is worth noting that Pakistan's State oil and gas companies, including PPL which has the largest stake in the Sui oil fields of Balochistan are up for privatization under IMF-World Bank supervision.
According to the Oil and Gas Journal (OGJ), Pakistan had proven oil reserves of 300 million barrels, most of which are located in Balochistan. Other estimates place Balochistan oil reserves at an estimated six trillion barrels of oil reserves both on-shore and off-shore (Environment News Service, 27 October 2006) .
Covert Support to Balochistan Separatists
Balochistan's strategic energy reserves have a bearing on the separatist agenda. Following a familiar pattern, there are indications that the Baloch insurgency is being supported and abetted by Britain and the US.
The Baloch national resistance movement dates back to the late 1940s, when Balochistan was invaded by Pakistan. In the current geopolitical context, the separatist movement is in the process of being hijacked by foreign powers.British intelligence is allegedly providing covert support to Balochistan separatists (which from the outset have been repressed by Pakistan's military). In June 2006, Pakistan's Senate Committee on Defence accused British intelligence of "abetting the insurgency in the province bordering Iran" [Balochistan]..(Press Trust of India, 9 August 2006). Ten British MPs were involved in a closed door session of the Senate Committee on Defence regarding the alleged support of Britain's Secret Service to Baloch separatists (Ibid). Also of relevance are reports of CIA and Mossad support to Baloch rebels in Iran and Southern Afghanistan.
It would appear that Britain and the US are supporting both sides. The US is providing American F-16 jets to the Pakistani military, which are being used to bomb Baloch villages in Balochistan. Meanwhile, British alleged covert support to the separatist movement (according to the Pakistani Senate Committee) contributes to weakening the central government.
The stated purpose of US counter-terrorism is to provide covert support as well as as training to "Liberation Armies" ultimately with a view to destabilizing sovereign governments. In Kosovo, the training of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) in the 1990s had been entrusted to a private mercenary company, Military Professional Resources Inc (MPRI), on contract to the Pentagon.
The BLA bears a canny resemblance to Kosovo's KLA, which was financed by the drug trade and supported by the CIA and Germany's Bundes Nachrichten Dienst (BND).
The BLA emerged shortly after the 1999 military coup. It has no tangible links to the Baloch resistance movement, which developed since the late 1940s. An aura of mystery surrounds the leadership of the BLA.
Baloch population in Pink: In Iran, Pakistan and Southern Afghanistan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Major_ethnic_groups_of_Pakistan_in_1980.jpg
Washington favors the creation of a "Greater Balochistan" which would integrate the Baloch areas of Pakistan with those of Iran and possibly the Southern tip of Afghanistan (See Map above), thereby leading to a process of political fracturing in both Iran and Pakistan.
"The US is using Balochi nationalism for staging an insurgency inside Iran's Sistan-Balochistan province. The 'war on terror' in Afghanistan gives a useful political backdrop for the ascendancy of Balochi militancy" (See Global Research, 6 March 2007).
Military scholar Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters writing in the June 2006 issue of The Armed Forces Journal, suggests, in no uncertain terms that Pakistan should be broken up, leading to the formation of a separate country: "Greater Balochistan" or "Free Balochistan" (see Map below). The latter would incorporate the Pakistani and Iranian Baloch provinces into a single political entity.
In turn, according to Peters, Pakistan's North West Frontier Province (NWFP) should be incorporated into Afghanistan "because of its linguistic and ethnic affinity". This proposed fragmentation, which broadly reflects US foreign policy, would reduce Pakistani territory to approximately 50 percent of its present land area. (See map). Pakistan would also loose a large part of its coastline on the Arabian Sea.
Although the map does not officially reflect Pentagon doctrine, it has been used in a training program at NATO's Defense College for senior military officers. This map, as well as other similar maps, have most probably been used at the National War Academy as well as in military planning circles. (See Mahdi D. Nazemroaya, Global Research, 18 November 2006)
"Lieutenant-Colonel Peters was last posted, before he retired to the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, within the U.S. Defence Department, and has been one of the Pentagon’s foremost authors with numerous essays on strategy for military journals and U.S. foreign policy." (Ibid)

It is worth noting that secessionist tendencies are not limited to Balochistan. There are separatist groups in Sindh province, which are largely based on opposition to the Punjabi-dominated military regime of General Pervez Musharraf (For Further details see Selig Harrisson, Le Monde diplomatique, October 2006)
"Strong Economic Medicine": Weakening Pakistan's Central Government
Pakistan has a federal structure based on federal provincial transfers. Under a federal fiscal structure, the central government transfers financial resources to the provinces, with a view to supporting provincial based programs. When these transfers are frozen as occurred in Yugoslavia in January 1990, on orders of the IMF, the federal fiscal structure collapses:
"State revenues that should have gone as transfer payments to the republics [of the Yugoslav federation] went instead to service Belgrade's debt ... . The republics were largely left to their own devices. ... The budget cuts requiring the redirection of federal revenues towards debt servicing, were conducive to the suspension of transfer payments by Belgrade to the governments of the Republics and Autonomous Provinces.
In one fell swoop, the reformers had engineered the final collapse of Yugoslavia's federal fiscal structure and mortally wounded its federal political institutions. By cutting the financial arteries between Belgrade and the republics, the reforms fueled secessionist tendencies that fed on economic factors as well as ethnic divisions, virtually ensuring the de facto secession of the republics. (Michel Chossudovsky, The Globalization of Poverty and the New World Order, Second Edition, Global Research, Montreal, 2003, Chapter 17.)
It is by no means accidental that the 2005 National Intelligence Council- CIA report had predicted a "Yugoslav-like fate" for Pakistan pointing to the impacts of "economic mismanagement" as one of the causes of political break-up and balkanization.
"Economic mismanagement" is a term used by the Washington based international financial institutions to describe the chaos which results from not fully abiding by the IMF's Structural Adjustment Program. In actual fact, the "economic mismanagement" and chaos is the outcome of IMF-World Bank prescriptions, which invariably trigger hyperinflation and precipitate indebted countries into extreme poverty.Pakistan has been subjected to the same deadly IMF "economic medicine" as Yugoslavia: In 1999, in the immediate wake of the coup d'Etat which brought General Pervez Musharaf to the helm of the military government, an IMF economic package, which included currency devaluation and drastic austerity measures, was imposed on Pakistan. Pakistan's external debt is of the order of US$40 billion. The IMF's "debt reduction" under the package was conditional upon the sell-off to foreign capital of the most profitable State owned enterprises (including the oil and gas facilities in Balochistan) at rockbottom prices .
Musharaf's Finance Minister was chosen by Wall Street, which is not an unusual practice. The military rulers appointed at Wall Street's behest, a vice-president of Citigroup, Shaukat Aziz, who at the time was head of CitiGroup's Global Private Banking. (See WSWS.org, 30 October 1999). CitiGroup is among the largest commercial foreign banking institutions in Pakistan.
There are obvious similarities in the nature of US covert intelligence operations applied in country after country in different parts of the so-called "developing World". These covert operation, including the organisation of military coups, are often synchronized with the imposition of IMF-World Bank macro-economic reforms. In this regard, Yugoslavia's federal fiscal structure collapsed in 1990 leading to mass poverty and heightened ethnic and social divisions. The US and NATO sponsored "civil war" launched in mid-1991 consisted in coveting Islamic groups as well as channeling covert support to separatist paramilitary armies in Bosnia, Kosovo and Macedonia.
A similar "civil war" scenario has been envisaged for Pakistan by the National Intelligence Council and the CIA: From the point of view of US intelligence, which has a longstanding experience in abetting separatist "liberation armies", "Greater Albania" is to Kosovo what "Greater Balochistan" is to Pakistan's Southeastern Balochistan province. Similarly, the KLA is Washington's chosen model, to be replicated in Balochistan province.
The Assassination of Benazir Bhutto
Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in Rawalpindi, no ordinary city. Rawalpindi is a military city host to the headquarters of the Pakistani Armed Forces and Military Intelligence (ISI). Ironically Bhutto was assassinated in an urban area tightly controlled and guarded by the military police and the country's elite forces. Rawalpindi is swarming with ISI intelligence officials, which invariably infiltrate political rallies. Her assassination was not a haphazard event.
Without evidence, quoting Pakistan government sources, the Western media in chorus has highlighted the role of Al-Qaeda, while also focusing on the the possible involvement of the ISI.
What these interpretations do not mention is that the ISI continues to play a key role in overseeing Al Qaeda on behalf of US intelligence. The press reports fail to mention two important and well documented facts:
1) the ISI maintains close ties to the CIA. The ISI is virtually an appendage of the CIA.
2) Al Qaeda is a creation of the CIA. The ISI provides covert support to Al Qaeda, acting on behalf of US intelligence.
The involvement of either Al Qaeda and/or the ISI would suggest that US intelligence was cognizant and/or implicated in the assassination plot.

Per l'indipendenza di Pristina è pronto il «Piano di Lubjiana»
di Giulietto Chiesa
su Il Manifesto del 06/01/2008
«Herald Tribune» Dopo il voto a Belgrado, via all'iniziativa voluta dall'Ue
---
http://www.voltairenet.org/article154207.html par Giulietto Chiesa* Voici un exemple qui ne pourrait être plus limpide de la façon dont l’Europe s’est couchée devant la ligne des États-Unis d’Amérique, exécutante de leur volonté, courbée et succube. Souveraineté de la patrie, adieu. On annonce en effet un accord à moitié secret de Polichinelle qui permettra au Kosovo de proclamer unilatéralement son indépendance et d’être ensuite reconnu par les États européens, individuellement et collectivement, selon un plan soigneusement programmé. Naturellement tous ceux qui doivent savoir savent déjà, mais ce sont les Serbes qui ne doivent pas savoir. La magouille a été cuisinée expressément contre eux. Le plan doit sortir en fait « dans les deux premiers mois de 2008 » (c’est l’ International Herald Tribune qui l’écrit le 13-12-2007), c’est-à-dire imédiatement après les élections serbes du 20 janvier et le ballottage du 3 février. « Après ». Parce qu’on espère de cette manière éviter une explosion de protestations nationales en Serbie. Peut-être, pense-t-on à Bruxelles, arrivera-t-on même à faire gagner les pro-occidentaux ; chose possible étant donnés les moyens de pression et de chantage dont l’Union européenne et la Russie disposent ; mais improbable, étant donnés les sondages électoraux à Belgrade) et l’on pourra ensuite plus aisément « réduire à la raison » des plus forts, euro-occidentale, les nouveaux leaders de la Serbie. L’idée n’est pas neuve et pourrait mal finir, mais ça n’a pas beaucoup d’importance. Les Serbes sont collectivement coupables et donc on peut y aller grossièrement, bien certains qu’on pourra de toutes façons les écraser, avec l’accord de toutes les chancelleries. Après tout, on les a bombardés en 1999, donc on continue. Mais les petites fourberies dont le projet est agrémenté sont diverses et nombreuses, et décrivent, par elles même, la stature de ces gouvernants européens actuels. De fait la chance veut que depuis le 1er janvier la présidence de l’UE revienne à la Slovénie, le premier des États qui se soit détaché de la Fédération yougoslave. Donc, avec une perfidie rare, ce sera à la Slovénie de faire le premier geste de reconnaissance formelle de l’indépendance du Kosovo. Pas en son nom propre mais collectivement. Dès que Hashim Thaçi (le mercenaire-égorgeur de l’UCK, armé par les USA, fabriqué pour attirer l’Europe dans le piège de la guerre contre l’ex-Yougoslavie) proclamera l’indépendance, la Slovénie aura la charge de convoquer en hâte les ministres des Affaires étrangères européens et de formuler le premier message de bienvenue choral des nations civilisées à un nouvel État mono-ethnique qui devient indépendant (si on peut dire). De cette façon l’Union Européenne pourra succéder à l’ONU dans l’administration des fonctions internationales de contrôle. Ceci —selon le journal déjà cité— devrait arriver entre juillet et août 2008. Le plan devrait apparaître comme œuvre du gouvernement slovène, de façon à le faire apparaître comme une initiative « du bas », pour, aussi, alléger de leurs responsabilités les gouvernements européens majeurs, en minimisant ainsi – comme ils l’espèrent- les risques d’une « nouvelle crise des Balkans ». Ils savent donc bien, que ce faisant, les Européens sont en train de se fabriquer chez eux les prémices de gros ennuis aux conséquences imprévisibles, que ce soit à brève, comme à moyenne et à longue échéance. Probablement quelqu’un d’entre eux aura-t-il même lu Il ponte sulla Drina (Le pont sur la Drina) d’Ivo Andric, et devrait avoir quelque soupçon. Mais ils continuent de façon identique, conduits par Washington —où à coup sûr personne ne connaît Andric— sur la voie la plus périlleuse. L’argument pour faire taire les critiques est déjà prêt, et a été utilisé de façon répétée par le « négociateur de l’échec », Martti Ahtisaari : « Si nous ne contentons pas Pristina ce sera la fin du monde » (traduire : les milices jamais dissoutes de l’UCK massacreront un certain nombre de Serbes, comme c’est du reste arrivé pendant ces sept années d’occupation OTAN).Ce qui revient à affirmer —après avoir créé Frankenstein— qu’on n’est plus en mesure de l’arrêter. Grossier mensonge, car il n’y a pas d’ascension plus résistible que celle de Thaçi, dont l’ascenseur n’a fonctionné que parce que les États-Unis et l’Europe lui ont fourni le courant. Mais poursuivons dans l’illustration du « plan de Ljubljana ». Après la déclaration slovène, en fait, est prévue une salve des gros canons qui veulent être enregistrés de toutes façons sur le livre de paye par les vrais protagonistes. Et donc, sans perdre une minute, « dans les 48 heures qui suivent » voilà qu’arrivent aux agences les reconnaissances de la Grande-Bretagne, de la France, de l’Italie et de l’Allemagne. Nous verrons si l’ordre est respecté ou s’il y aura des bousculades serviles de dernière heure. Ensuite arrivera la « cascade de reconnaissances », écrit extasié le journaliste étasunien. Voici la reconnaissance US, en cinquième position mais première des extra-européens. Les symboles ont leur rôle à jouer. En dernier, la file des vassaux, vasseurs et vavasseurs : la Suisse, l’Islande (première des petits) la Norvège, la Turquie – qui chapeautera le groupe de Macédoine, Albanie, Monténégro, Croatie, tous aspirants à l’entrée dans l’Europe. Le tout bien emballé pour introduire la reconnaissance en masse de la part des 54 membres de la Conférence Islamique. Nous assisterons, en somme, à une véritable mise en scène de théâtre, où tous les rôles sont déjà attribués de façon largement anticipée. La seule à ne pas avoir de rôle est l’ONU, à qui on ne refuse jamais une courbette, à condition de la laisser de côté. Parce que, il y a là-dedans la Russie, qui n’est pas d’accord. Mais c’est à cela aussi que sert l’opération Kosovo indépendant : à faire enrager la Russie de Poutine, qui n’est plus amie et pas même sympathisante. Acte international pour multiplier le contentieux avec Moscou ? Selon toute évidence c’est justement là l’objectif. L’accélération sur le Kosovo n’était pas du tout nécessaire, donc pourquoi la provoquer ? Tous les Européens n’étaient pas et ne sont pas enthousiastes. Pourquoi les mettre en difficulté ? La réponse vient presque automatiquement : parce que Washington a tout intérêt à diviser et affaiblir l’Europe, et à l’opposer à la Russie. L’idée du bouclier de missiles états-uniens à implanter dans la Pologne anti-européenne des frères Kaszinski, avec dépendance du radar tchèque, n’a-t-elle peut-être pas la même marque de qualité ? Peut-on faire injure aux dirigeants étasuniens et à leur intelligence au point de penser qu’ils n’y auraient pas pensé ? Impossible. Donc, ils ont décidé de faire ce geste en sachant qu’il aurait provoqué à Moscou une réaction très vive et —chose non moins importante— qu’il aurait provoqué d’autres lacérations en Europe. Une pierre deux coups. Classique. Une Europe qui se retrouve avec une Russie irritée à côté d’elle est encline à en avoir peur, par d’évidents réflexes historiques. Et comme tous les Européens n’ont pas une peur égale de la Russie, voilà qu’apparaissent des lézardes entre eux. Dont une part d’entre eux est en train de faire ses comptes énergétiques, et n’a pas une grosse envie de se retrouver sans gaz et pétrole pour en avoir un peu trop fait dans la polémique sur les Droits de l’homme en Russie : suivant en cela les USA dans la ligne des deux poids deux mesures pour laquelle ils ont toujours joué les prolongations. Bonne affaire, finalement, pour cette stratégie, si la Russie, au lieu de réagir de façon différenciée et graduelle à chaque coup, se met à grogner indifféremment contre Europe et les USA en faisant le jeu de Washington. Tout ceci étant dit, on reste franchement abasourdi que les Européens ne se rendent pas compte que non seulement cette voie est celle de l’affrontement entre Russie et USA, mais qu’eux aussi finissent par y être entraînés sans issue. En vérité certains comprennent, mais craignent que, s’ils réagissent, ils ne finissent mal leurs carrières. Les autres poursuivent en valets fidèles et silencieux. Mais les uns et les autres sont incapables d’envisager l’ensemble des inconnues de la situation. S’ils étaient à la hauteur de leur tâche ils comprendraient que, dans le calcul global, entre en ligne de compte l’endettement épouvantable des USA ; le dollar qui est en chute ; le fait que cette Amérique ne signera rien dans l’après Kyoto et dans l’après Bali. Bush ne le fera pas, et Hillary Clinton non plus, si ce devait être son tour, parce que cela signifierait mettre en question l’ « American Way of Life ». Tout entre en ligne de compte ; en quoi la somme finale devrait leur dire que sur cette pente on part à la guerre, alors que l’Europe pourrait au moins freiner. Mais pour ce faire il faut une stature morale, en plus de politique, et l’une et l’autre manquent, ici. Et on en est réduit à espérer dans la modeste révolte des « Services Secrets États-uniens Réunis » (SSER) pour bloquer l’attaque contre l’Iran. Déjà décidé dans le silence des Européens, seulement rompu par la petite trompette emphatique de Sarkozy, pauvre France. La Chine et la Russie regardent et, quand elles comprendront que l’Europe n’est pas un garde-fou, elles se débrouilleront toutes seules.

Ferrara è molto intelligente solo in Italia. In Francia viene
condannato per violazione del diritto d'autore - 8-1-08
di Marco Travaglio - da l'Unità
Con tutte le baggianate che dice, sempre comunque accreditate di
grande intelligenza, vien da chiedersi che ne sarebbe di Giuliano
Ferrara in un paese serio, cioè diverso dall'Italia. Una risposta
giunge dalla Francia, dove il Molto Intelligente è stato appena
condannato in appello (e dunque in via definitiva) dal Tribunal de
Grande Instance di Parigi per contraffazione di opera d'ingegno e
violazione del diritto d'autore ai danni di Antonio Tabucchi.
Il fatto risale all'ottobre 2003, quando Tabucchi inviò un articolo a
Le Monde, ma se lo vide pubblicato, in anteprima e
senz'autorizzazione, sul Foglio (un correttore di bozze del
quotidiano parigino l'aveva inviato per amicizia a Ferrara, senza
prevedere che questi l'avrebbe fregato e messo in pagina).
Ora Ferrara dovrà sborsare 34mila euro in tutto: 10mila di multa allo
Stato francese, più 3mila per aver appellato temerariamente la
condanna di primo grado; 12mila di danni a Tabucchi; 9mila per
finanziare la pubblicazione della sentenza su Le Monde, Le Figaro e
Libération. Naturalmente, se Ferrara avesse vinto la causa, la
notizia sarebbe uscita su tutti i giornali. Invece l'ha persa, dunque
silenzio di tomba. Ma l'aspetto più interessante del processo non è
la sentenza. È l'incredulità dei francesi - giudici, avvocati e
giornalisti - di fronte a quel che dice Ferrara. Anzi, di fronte a
Ferrara tout court, che al di là del Monginevro è visto come un
fenomeno da baraccone. Il suo interrogatorio in tribunale è uno
spettacolo da far pagare il biglietto.
Nell'articolo rubato, Tabucchi ricordava i trascorsi di Ferrara come
informatore prezzolato della Cia. Il giudice domanda all'interessato
se la cosa sia vera. Ferrara risponde che sì, fu lui stesso a
rivelarlo sul Foglio. Ma era una balla, che lui chiama
«provocazione»: tant'è che ¬ aggiunge ¬ non ci sono le prove. La
nuova frontiera del giornalismo da lui inaugurata - spiega -
prescinde dalla verità. Figurarsi la faccia dei giudici parigini
dinanzi a questo «giornalista» ed ex ministro italiano che si vanta
di raccontare frottole sulla propria vita e aggiunge: trovate le
prove di quel che scrivo, se ne siete capaci.
Lo condannano su due piedi. Lui ricorre in appello, eccependo fra
l'altro sulla competenza territoriale del Tribunale parigino, manco
fosse Previti o Berlusconi al Tribunale di Milano. Eccezione respinta
con perdite. Quanto al merito, ricordano i giudici di seconda
istanza, il Molto Intelligente è colpevole per definizione: «Il 4
novembre 2006 Ferrara veniva interrogato e sosteneva che in Italia è
usanza giornalistica pubblicare documenti senza autorizzazione per
rispondere a essi senza che la cosa comporti una contraffazione».
Dopo aver finito di ridere, i giudici ribattono che pubblicare sul
Foglio un articolo destinato a Le Monde «senza il consenso
dell'autore né di Le Monde costituisce a pieno titolo contraffazione»
e «non è seriamente sostenibile che un delitto di contraffazione sia
legittimato da una sorta di diritto di replica preventivo rispetto
alla pubblicazione».
Ferrara, se voleva replicare a Tabucchi, doveva attendere che
l'articolo uscisse su Le Monde. Il Tribunale aggiunge sarcastico che
una diversa «eventuale usanza italiana, ammesso che esista, non si
applicherebbe comunque al diritto francese». E conclude sottolineando
«la piena consapevolezza che l'imputato (Ferrara, ndr) aveva del suo
delitto e del cinismo con cui l'ha commesso», ergo «va dichiarato
colpevole dei fatti a lui addebitati». Insomma: certi sofismi,
furbate e corbellerie Ferrara li vada a raccontare agli italiani, che
hanno smarrito il senso del pudore, della decenza e della vergogna.
In Francia non attaccano. Infatti, riportando la sentenza, il Nouvel
Observateur descrive Ferrara come nemmeno un giornale di estrema
sinistra oserebbe dipingerlo. Cioè per quello che è: «maschera della
tv trash», «specializzato nella denigrazione di chi si oppone a
Berlusconi» e nel «servilismo giornalistico» che gli è valso la
direzione di Panorama e del Foglio, sempre «indipendente come si può
essere quando l'editore è la moglie di Berlusconi».
Nessun accenno alla sua grande intelligenza. In controtendenza con la
fuga dei cervelli dall'Italia, quello di Ferrara all'estero non lo
nota nessuno. Non pervenuto.

nella Repubblica serba e’ stato celebrato il 15esimo anniversario del
massacro di 49 civili serbi che sono stati uccisi al Natale ortodosso
il 7 gennaio del 1993 dalle forze musulmane. In questo attacco 86
civili sono stati feriti. L’attacco contro Kravica e’ stato eseguito
dalla 28esima divisione dei musulmani guidata da Naser Oric, la quale
nel maggio del 1992 ha cominciato a massacrare i civili serbi. Nelle
zone centrali intorno al fiume Drina sul confine con la Serbia in due
