Il caccia JSF-F35 - da www.airforce-technology.com
01/29/2007 "Desideriamo riaffermare, come comunità cristiana, la necessità di opporsi alla produzione e alla commercializzazione di strumenti concepiti per la guerra. Ci riferiamo, in particolare, alla problematica sorta recentemente sul nostro territorio piemontese relativa all'avvio dell'assemblaggio finale di velivoli da combattimento da effettuarsi nel sito aeronautico di Cameri (Novara)" - afferma un comunicato congiunto di Mons. Fernando Charrier (Vescovo di Alessandria - delegato Patorale sociale e il lavoro della Regione Ecclesiastica Piemonte e di Mons. Tommaso Valentinetti (Presidente di Pax Christi Italia) in merito all'assembleggio del caccia di produzione americana Joint Strike Fighter JSF-F35. Un programma al quale l'Italia partecipa come partner di secondo livello avendo finora investito 793,6 milioni di € mentre 139,2 milioni di € sono stati stanziati nella Finanziaria 2007: ma il progetto del Ministero della Difesa è di acquistare 131 caccia per una spesa totale da 20 a 30 miliardi di euro. Il caccia è in grado di portare testate nucleari.

Parlamentti hyväksyi viime viikolla vihreiden Raül Romevan (Espanja) oma-aloitemietinnön asevientiä koskevien käytännesääntöjen soveltamisesta.

Lapsi äitinsä kanssa ruokajonossa Somaliassa tammikuussa 2006.
01/12/2007 Itä-Afrikasta annettujen raporttien mukaan paikalliset ihmiset eivät ole kovinkaan kiinnostuneita siitä, onnistuiko Yhdysvaltojen surmata ilmaiskuissaan kolme terroristiepäiltyä. Sen sijaan heitä huolestuttavat Yhdysvaltojen ilmaiskujen aiheuttamat kuolonuhrit ja muut seuraukset. Kysymys kuuluu: Mitä se merkitsee, että suurvalta voi rangaistuksetta tehdä ilmaiskuja köyhää maatalousmaata vastaan maan humanitaarisesta kriisistä huolimatta?

 Somalis displaced by fighting even before U.S. airstrikes.
01/12/2007 Reports from East Africa show that local people seem concerned less about U.S. plans to kill three suspected terrorists and more about the loss of life and political fallout as a result of the United States' latest unilateral show of force.

01/09/2007 La legge Finanziaria 2007 è positiva per l’industria militare: tra l'altro è stato costituito nel Ministero della Difesa un apposito Fondo per le esigenze di investimento per la difesa con uno stanziamento di 1.700 milioni di euro per il 2007 e per un totale di 4.450 milioni nel triennio 2007-2009. "Il Governo Prodi ha ceduto alla lobby delle armi ed ha autorizzato un rilevante programma di investimenti mostrandosi poco sensibile alle richieste di parte del suo elettorato che ha chiesto un drastico taglio delle spese militari per dirottarle verso quelle sociali" - commenta Nigrizia. E il ministro della Difesa Parisi ammette che i nuovi aerei caccia-multi ruolo F35 (JSF) sono in grado di portare testate nucleari, anche se – ha notato – "non significa che le porteranno". L'Italia partecipa al programma degli F35 e ha in progetto di acquistare 131 caccia per una spesa totale da 20 a 30 miliardi di euro.

Il presidente di Pax Christi Italia mons. Valentinetti
01/04/2007 Una una chiara denuncia della "presenza incostituzionale" sul territorio italiano di "90 bombe atomiche americane, sulle quali va fatta subito chiarezza da parte del Governo" ed un forte sostegno alla proposta di legge italiana per la moratoria totale di produzione, commercializzazione e uso delle cluster bomb emergono dal discorso del presidente di Pax Christi Italia, mons. Tommaso Valentinetti, a conclusione della Marcia della Pace a Norcia. Il vescovo ha inoltre fatto un accorato appello "ai cattolici attivi in politica" ad impegnarsi, sul piano legislativo, per allargare il controllo democratico di produzione e commercio di armi leggere e per approntare una legge sugli intermediari di armi. "Alla Chiesa italiana sul tema disarmo è chiesto maggiore coraggio" - ha aggiunto il vescovo. Così come è chiesto maggiore coraggio per smascherare il 'sistema guerra' che sta imperversando in ogni modo".

01/02/2007 La Campagna contro il commercio di armi (CAAT) ha deciso di intraprendere un'azione legale contro il governo britannico per la decisione del premier Tony Blair di far interrompere l’inchiesta per corruzione che il Serious Fraud Office stava conducendo da due anni su BAE Systems, la società britannica di forniture militari: l’indagine riguardava mazzette e fondi neri, pari a 114 milioni di dollari, impiegati dalla compagnia per corrompere dignitari dell’Arabia Saudita pagando prostitute, Rolls-Royce e vacanze in California. La decisione di Blair arriva dopo che il Governo saudita aveva minacciato di annullare l'accordo con la Gran Bretagna per acquistare 72 caccia Eurofighter Typhoon del valore 6 miliardi di sterline (9 miliardi di euro) e offrire il contratto alla Francia. "Una vicenda di cui la stampa britannica denuncia tutta l'ipocrisia di Blair e che sta portando ad un'inchiesta dell'Ocse: ma sulla quale sorvolano gli organi di stampa italiani. Eppure qualcosa da commentare ci sarebbe visto che la commessa araba degli Eurofighter riguarda anche l'italiana Finmeccannica che per il 20% controlla il consorzio produttore del caccia" - commenta Giorgio Beretta della Rete italiana disarmo.
