In Trash We Trust, Italian Colonialism

In Campania in the last 30 years has happen a madness, Camorra in association with corrupt politicians, institutional representatives and northern Italian capitalists have organized the dumping of hazardous wastes in the north-west part of Campania, where 80% of Campania's citizens live in one of Europe's most densely populated area (about 4 million people). This criminal activity is done daily and undisturbed. The ecomafia's activities are well documented by journalists, institutional representatives who still do their job with professionalism (as well as anti-mafia chief Pietro Grasso has spoken several times about it) and organizations like Legambiente. There are several books that illustrate this phenomenon (ecomafia) very carefully, one of this is "Campania Infelix", written by investigative journalist, Mr Bernardo Iovine, ISBN 8817026352. Although the documentary film "Biutiful Cauntri", is illustrative of the subject. In north-west Campania, there are over 5000 environmentally harmful and illegal sites, rated as among the most dangerous in Italy, their contents, without doubt is of industrial origin and there you can find presence of heavy metals, asbestos, radioactive substances and mud with high concentrations of dioxin, sometimes several thousand times higher than the permissible value.
For approx. 15 years ago there was a paradigm shift in Italy. The Italian state and its institutions began to be an active part into destructive and criminal activities that contaminate an entire people (about 4 million people live adjacent to these places) and their future. 15 years ago, local politicians and the Camorra with the blessing of Italian State created a waste disposal crisis in order to find potholes, old quarries and other cavities around the region to make it easier to dump the industrial pollutants that came from northern Italy, mixed to urban waste. Nowadays waste crisis is a continuity of a systematically created crisis situation and the worst-hit city today is Naples. The citizens of Naples are submerged by thousands of tons of garbage along the streets, have to endure the stench, and be careful to not get sick of the poor health that surround the city. On top of this misery, they will be derided and discriminated of the national and international media as a pariah. The situation that is being experienced today in Naples is the sum of several decades of total neglect and discrimination by the governmental authorities, it seems that the right to profit for the northern Italian capitalists has won over Campania's and Naples' citizens right to health and life.
Naples is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and listed by UNESCO as World Heritage, today is reduced to a dustbin. The city and its citizens are held hostage by the Camorra, a racist government who will do anything in their power to impair the lives of Neapolitans, humiliated by the local corrupted politicians who only think about filling their pockets.
Can you imagine that you have opened a landfill in the middle of the Vesuvius National Park? A national park that for decades has been supported by the EU to be developed. Do you realize that you have opened a landfill in Chiaiano, an area a few steps from Naples hospital district? In addition to this crisis, there is the deterioration of Naples roads and monuments. One of the world's largest "Centro Storico" is close to collapse because negligence from the local administration. The largest historic centers of Europe, one of the oldest, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, collapsing in front our eyes and nobody seems to care. As Pompeii falling apart, the largest archaeological site in the world is about to disappear due incompetence and neglect. And again, the majestic monuments "Maschio Angioino" has become a filthy bidonville inhabited by the poor, homeless.
Camorra, negligence, waste and corruption is the daily bread of the Neapolitans. The protest of people in Campania is to none advantage, no one seems to care anyway, their manifestations are often dispersed by police violence. Naples Heritage, will likely be dropped from the UNESCO Heritage List, because that last 15 years, Naples institutional representatives do not submitted a plan for maintenance of this enormous cultural heritage that belongs to all the humanity. The government sends the police to put down crowd, ordinary people, mothers who try to defend its territory and wants that the state should respect their right to health and lives of their children. Maybe everything is bottomed in congenital racism that north Italians have against Neapolitans and Sicilians. Racism against Naples and Neapolitans is fact and this government has institutionalized that through the Lega Nord's power over the politics. Otherwise, there is no logical explanation for why a state allows a big number of its citizens live under these conditions and allows a robber capitalism consisting of Camorra, northern Italian industrialists and local politicians poisoning systematically a whole population and steal their future by poisoning their soil, water and air. In Campania there are 46% of all contaminated sites that the Italian Government has on its list of areas of highest national interest in serious need to put in security and a recovery plan. In order to understand how serious this situation, you maybe have to visit these places and see people living there in their eyes. In Campania you will find Italy's highest concentration of cancer cases, on average, have one cancer case per 1,000 people in Italy. In Campania there is an average of six cancer cases per 1000 people, in certain areas of Campania, there are 20 cancer cases per 1,000 people. Most cancers found in Campania is of unusual types and the victims are from young to old. But cancer is not the biggest plauge that affects the population, we found that in Campania in the last 15 years, we have seen an increase of Alzheimer's by about 1400% a staggering increase. Another major problem that affects animals and humans and which is strongly linked to the ongoing ecological disaster is the genetic changes. Doctors in Campania has for years now recommended expectant mothers to breast-feed up maximum 4 times a day to not expose the newborn to high levels of dioxins.
