The Florence Declaration: The Creation of a “NATO-Exit” International Front

By Comitato No Nato and Global Research

Global Research, April 11, 2019

Text of The Florence Declaration adopted by more than 600 participants to the Florence No War No NATO Conference, April 7, 2019.

Original in Italian. Translations into English, French, Russian, Spanish. The debates and discussions were chaired by renowned author and geographer Manlio Dinucci.

The event was organized by Italy’s Comitato No Guerra, No NATO, in collaboration with the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG). The Florence Declaration was drafted by Italy’s Comitato and the CRG.

“The war of aggression waged by NATO in 1999 against Yugoslavia paved the way for the globalization of military interventions, with wars against Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and other countries, in complete violation of international law.

These wars are financed by the member countries, whose military budgets are increasing continually to the detriment of social expenditure, in order to support colossal military programmes like that of the US nuclear programme which costs 1,200 billion dollars.

In violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the USA is deploying nuclear weapons in five non-nuclear NATO States, under the false pretext of the ”Russian menace”. By doing so, they are risking the security of Europe.”

To meet our climate commitments, Canada must join these countries–not only to reduce CO2 emissions, but the smoke, dust, and aerosol particulates that also cause global warming. With continuous  US-NATO bombing approaching or exceeding the millions of tons of explosives detonated in WWII, carried out also by Canada (https://wordpress.com/page/action-on-military-climate-change.net/73)  and the massive devastation of weather war, we must recognize and ameliorate these realities if we are to slow the climate crisis, and stop the death and suffering of millions around the world.

 

 

The white poppy commemorates both the civilian and military victims of war on all sides of conflict. On Remembrance Day several hundred people took part in the annual Peace Poppy event at Seaforth Park in Vancouver (where forty years ago 80,000 people left to walk for Peace across the Burrard Bridge).

The keynote speaker was Fazineh Keita, a former child soldier from Sierra Leone, now working with the Innocence Lost Foundation.

The Solidarity Labour Choir, two powerful songs by Roger and Kathy (Cousins and You Will Know Where I Stand) and a beautiful, tragic poem by E.D. Blodget, a veteran, provided music and images.

Eleven wreaths were laid, commemorating: Children killed, injured or orphaned by war; civilian and military PTSD sufferers; indigenous victims of genocide and cultural destruction; Child soldiers; medical aid workers; women raped and victimized in wartime, refugees, environmental devastation, and more. Survivors of war in community organizations laid nine wreaths: in memory of victims of the ongoing Syrian war; the Holocaust; Hiroshima and Nagasaki; Vietnam; the plight of Palestinians, Iraq, and more.

Editor;

It’s disappointing to see the David Suzuki Foundation advocating road pricing; to see Vancouver and Metro looking at it. Stockholm is not us: our gap between rich and poor is wider, distances greater. Why not replace the gas tax with carbon tax income for municipal services? Why not divert taxes from escalating military spending?

Road pricing attempts to micro-manage the civilian economy while ignoring the bull in the china shop: militarism and war. Wars also cause climate change. But the UN IPCC limits its reports to CO2 emissions from the civilian economy because the U.S. lobbied at the 1997 Kyoto Accord to keep military emissions out. After 22 years of misdirection we still follow suit.

The missing puzzle pieces to the climate picture—overt and covert war—are being placed, giving us the whole picture, opening new ways to ease our survival crisis.

Is war a civic issue? An environmental issue?

The findings on the study of nuclear winter and wildfires (also in 2017) are confirmed and extended by Harvard physicist Dr. Bernard Gottschalk and geoscientist J. Marvin Hendon. Analyzing global temperature data from 1880 to 2016, Dr. Gottschalk noticed a ‘heat bump’ at the time of WWII.

https://www.globalresearch.ca/dr-gottschalks-world-war-ii-heat-bump-did-the-war-contribute-to-air-pollution-and-global-warming/5690184

Dr. Hendon followed up, demonstrating how air pollution particles released in war cause warming by reducing the action of convection in the troposphere. By convection and infrared radiation Earth releases trapped energy to maintain the delicate energy balance.

“By war’s end in 1945, the Allied Forces had dropped over 2.7 million tons of bombs in Europe alone, creating maelstroms of smoke, debris, dust, and soot, with fires that could rage for days.”

The quantities of aerosol particulates produced by weather wars defies imagination; but it would be reflected in the graph by the fast-rising temperatures to date.

These recent findings also suggest that ‘the Science’ is not singular. The question is not C02 or methane or aerosol particulates, or nuclear pollutants; not military or civilian activity.  As usual, being interconnected, it’s All of the Above.

“B.C. set new lightning strike record amid quiet fire season”  

Vancouver Sun, Sept. 14/19, page A10, Randy Shore

The sudden decline of forest fires this summer, like the sudden escalation in 2017 and 2018 (which saw more land burned in those two years than in the past 25 years combined: 2.57 million hectares) suggests that more than ‘Mother Nature’ or climate change alone are at work.

At the same time, “Environment and Climate Change Canada has recorded 422,000 lightning strikes this year in the province, far above the 18-year average of 266,000. July alone saw 264,344 lightning strikes, said meteorologist Matt MacDonald”.

Last year (2018) BC experienced 1,528 lightning strikes, and the unprecedented number of 2,068 extreme wildfires.

The BC decline in fires is attributed to “timely rainfall”. Mr. MacDonald explains that “much of the province was wetter than normal with 120- to 200-per-cent-higher-than-normal rainfall”. He adds that two wet weather systems are about to hit the coast: “We could get as much as 40 to 50 millimetres of rain in the next two-and-a-half days on the south coast, and that will carry through to the interior”. Ashlee Jollymore of the Rivers Forecast Centre “Intense rainfall is more likely to cause water pulses and washouts in small streams”.

In her landmark book, Planet Earth: The Latest Weapon of War, Dr. Rosalie Bertell explains (p134) how lightning can be generated by Extremely Low Frequency signals from the phased array of antennas of an ionospheric heater, releasing immense electrical energy from the ionosphere in imitation of the natural process.

Using a range of electromagnetic frequencies the heater can also manipulate the jet stream, the electrojet, and the ten rivers of water vapour that circulate at high speeds around Earth to cause flood or drought, intensify and ‘steer’ hurricanes, and destabilize tectonic plates and volcanoes.

This year, lightning came with record rainfall; last year, with record fires. All three extreme weather reversals support evidence of weather war, confirmed by the sighting of infrared emissions (used in weapons guidance) prior to the devastating Stikine fires last year. Apparently military geo-engineers plan a roller coaster ride of fire and flood.

Why? Disaster capitalism, detailed in Naomi Klein’s book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, is an effective means of discouraging Indigenous Nations from opposing resource exploitation of their unceded territories. They are hard hit, with fires impacting traditional food resources; and rebuilding their communities challenges their economies—limited by legislation refusing them the use of their own resources. Their settler neighbours, and many city dwellers, must also spend to rebuild.

This summer—2019—record fires were moved to Alberta, Yukon Territory and Alaska. At the same time, Europe was hit by record heat, which saw a ‘high pressure system’ (like the one that was stalled on the entire West Coast last year) moving toward the Arctic. Satellite images look like Russia is being ‘carpet-bombed’ by fire.

Weather war makes punishing ‘rogue states’, attacking political opponents, or seizing Indigenous resources, easy, and ‘deniable’.

These relentless extremes hit the human spirit. Piling on the stress is a form of hybrid warfare: a variety of means of attacking just whoever they want, is now made easy by electromagnetic weapons technology. The push for 5G takes these EM attacks into our homes and minds.

Owning the weather for military use has been a goal of the global military since WWII when, after the US genocide in Japan, nuclear bombs were considered too hazardous to use. The US military is working toward “full spectrum dominance by 2020”, in pursuit of the published “Blueprint for a New American Century” and their goal of a “New World Order”. But other countries also participate, including Canada.

“Not only the U.S. is involved with this high tech assault on the earth system! At least Russia, China, the U.K. Australia, Canada and Japan are involved. The geo-warriors are, I believe, wishing to go public with even more risky experiments, with public approval, and maybe even become „climate change heroes‟! At the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen, 2010, geo-warriors made their most public pitch under the guise of “geoengineering” as a “solution to global climate change”. Those who watch the military prepare for a weather war are alarmed!” http://www.pbme-online.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Bertell.Slowly-Wrecking.pdf#7s8d6f87#7s8d6f87

GROUP WHY FIRE

Central Portugal / Tábua since December 2017

Evil Fire

Fragmented thoughts

Of lives suddenly shattered

Blown out and lost in weeping grass.

Shards of a broken rainbow,

Discordant trails that jump from Personal to large scale loss.

Visions of flames falling down mountainsides, a home that crashed Onto precious memories

Tucked under pillows, hidden in boxes And running, confused in circles

As the end drew in. Rising

with ashes and toxic smoke.

Emptiness ready to be filled

With colour echoing mortality

And embracing the preciousness

Of every heartbeat.

“Our Mission”

“Why Fire” is a nonprofit group with Portuguese and international residents who all chose Portugal for a better life! Leaving materialism-oriented countries behind, we wish to live and work closer to nature, with small holdings, our own vegetable gardens, animals and very nice and solidary Portuguese neighbours. That is why we have chosen the countryside of the Center of Portugal!

The group was founded in December 2017 in the Region of Tábua, witnessing the “Crime of Geoengineered Fires in Portugal in 2017”. More than 500 000 HA of forest, landscapes, houses and industry burnt down within two weekends (17/18 June – and 15/16 October 2017).

“The biggest and hottest fires ever in Europe.” Men-made “Geographical Disaster” with the same quality as the fires in California, Australia and Canada in 2017.

“Geoengineering to control the planet and the population in the 21^st Century?”

Group Why Fire stands up to preserve Nature! 

*We do research with national scientists and action groups as well as with international Resistance movements  and hope that more Why Fires Groups emerge in our Planet!

• We would like to aim for equal rights, respect and freedom for all inhabitants.
• Together we need to take back our human rights, which are our water, our sun, our blue sky, our clean oxygen, free mind, thoughts and creativity!

*We consider ourselves to be a group for Awareness and Action, to investigate corruption and exploitation of our planet and humanity.

We are covering subjects like 

Geoengineering & HAARP “Disaster Capitalism” and “Geographical Climate War”

Agenda 21/30                       “Control of weather and control of population”,

Vaccinations, Bayer/Monsanto, 5G Program for Portugal, …

Positive Energy Sources     Physical protection and spiritual strength

Free Mind and Creativity     Spiritual Centers and Health Organizations

“Why Fire” é um grupo sem fins lucrativos composto por portugueses e residentes internacionais que escolheram Portugal para uma vida melhor! Deixando países que se pautam por um grande materialismo para trás, desejamos viver e trabalhar mais próximos da Natureza, com pequenas posses, as nossas próprias hortas e animais, rodeados de vizinhos portugueses gentis e solidários. Por estes motivos, escolhemos a vida rural no Centro de Portugal!

O grupo foi fundado em Dezembro de 2017 na região de Tábua em resposta ao “Crime de Fogos da Geoengenharia em Portugal em 2017”. Mais de 500.000ha de floresta, paisagem e indústria arderam em dois fins-de-semana (17/18 de Junho e 15/16 de Outubro). Foram os “maiores e mais quentes incêndios de sempre na Europa”, correspondendo a um desastre geográfico, com origem humana, equiparado aos fogos da Califórnia, Austrália e do Canadá do mesmo ano. Estaremos aqui a assistir a um fenómeno de

“Geoengenharia para controlar o planeta e a população no séc. XXI”? 

“Why Fire” ergue-se para preservar a Natureza!  

• Conduzimos investigações com cientistas e grupos de activistas nacionais assim como com movimentos de resistência internacionais e esperamos que mais grupos WhyFire surjam no nosso planeta!
• Almejamos direitos iguais e os mesmos respeito e liberdade para todos os habitantes de Portugal e da Terra. * Juntos, pretendemos resgatar os nossos direitos humanos mais básicos como acesso à nossa água, ao nosso Sol, ao nosso céu azul, ao nosso oxigénio puro, à nossa mente livre, aos nossos pensamentos e criatividade!
• Vemo-nos como um grupo de tomada de consciência e acção, no intuito de investigar a corrupção e a exploração do planeta e da humanidade.

Abordamos temas como:  

Geoengenharia e HAARP    “Capitalismo de Desastre” e “Guerra Geográfica Climática”
