Fake news
about MUOS « maxi-radar »
« The
M5S (5 Star Movement) divided about the Sicilian maxi-radar », headlined
the Corriere della Sera, thereby spreading a maxi fake news – not
about the directorate of the 5 Star Movement,
which, after having won an electoral consensus with the « No MUOS »
in Sicily, is now backing off - but
about the very object of the dispute.
By defining
the MUOS station in Niscemi as a « maxi-radar », they are fooling
public opinion into believing that it is an Earth-bound electronic scanning
device, and therefore defensive. But on the contrary, the MUOS (Mobile User
Objective System) is a new satellite communications system which extends the
offensive capacity of the United States to the whole planet.
The system,
developed by Lockheed Martin for the US Navy, is composed of an initial
configuration of four satellites (plus one in reserve) in a geo-stationary
orbit, and linked to four terrestrial stations – two in the United States
(Hawaï and Virginia), one in Sicily and one in Australia. The four stations are
linked by a network of terrestrial and submarine fibre-optic cables (the
station in Niscemi is connected directly to the station in Virginia).
The MUOS,
which is already in function, will become fully operational in the summer of
2019, attaining a capacity 16 times superior to that of the preceding systems. It
will simultaneously transmit ultra-high frequency coded messages of vocal,
video and data material. So submarines and warships, fighter-bombers and
drones, military vehicles and on-the-ground units of the US and their allies, will thus be linked to a single
command network of control and communications under the orders of the Pentagon,
while they are operating anywhere in the world, including the polar regions.
So the MUOS station in Niscemi is not a « Sicilian maxi-radar » which guards the
island, but an essential element of the planetary war machine of the United
States.
The same
role is being played by the other main US and NATO bases in Italy. The Naval
Air Station Sigonella, a few kilometres
from Niscemi, is the base for the launching of military operations mainly in the Middle East and Africa, carried
out by special forces and drones.
The JTAGS (Joint Tactical Ground Station),
a US satellite station of the « antimissile shield » deployed at Sigonella – one of the five with
global reach (the others are situated in the United States, Saudi Arabia, South
Korea and Japan) – serves not only for anti-missile defence, but also for
attack operations commanded from advance positions.
The Joint
Allied Force Command in Lago Patria (Naples), is under the orders of a US
admiral who simultaneously commands the US Naval Forces in Europe (with the
Sixth Fleet based at Gaeta in the Lazio) and the US Naval Forces for Africa,
whose headquarters are at Naples-Capodichino.
Camp Darby,
the largest US arsenal outside of the homeland, supplies the US and allied
forces for their wars in the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
The US 173rd
Airborne Brigade based in Vicenza, operates in Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine and
other countries in Eastern Europe.
The bases at
Aviano and Ghedi – sites of the deployment of US and Italian fighters under US
command, and equipped with B61 nuclear bombs, which, as from 2020 will be
replaced by B61-12's – are an integral part of the Pentagon's nuclear strategy.
Incidentally,
do Luigi Di Maio and the other leaders of M5S [1] remember
that they took a solemn engagement with the ICAN (International Campaign to
Abolish Nuclear Weapons) to ensure that Italy adheres to the UN Treaty, thus
liberating Italy from US nuclear weapons?
[1] The 5 Stars Movement is, along with
the League, a government party, in which Luigi Di Maio is Vice-President of the
Council of Ministers.
