The Struggle Of My Land
Seems that those days we roamed far and wide across our beautiful countryside, our (sacred) olive trees and windy seacoast came to an end, at least for some time, at least for those who really care, who really feel an ancestral connection to this land, for those whose bloodline always spoke the same dialect...
Traditions, identity, sense of belonging, are concepts not really appreciated by an ipercapitalistic system, that wants us lethargic consumers more than passionate and empathetic individuals, that is more than willing to sacrifice untainted nature,
and award-winning cristal clear waters in the name of profit.
Cause after all, the war that TAP (Trans Adriatic Pipeline) waged against us, the people of Salento, finds no justifications other than in profit, the blind and corrupted to the core will of a few, imposed to the indignated voice of the hundreds, thousands...folks from any sort of background: doctors, lawyers, farmers, students, children you name them.

This utter wreckage is possible by the way, since Italy turned into a mere subsidiary of foreign interests in the last seventy years, our fourth unelected government seems so excited to let a very controverse multinational, destroy our land with the help of our own law enforcement, wasting a huge amount of public resources, with a massive displacement of policemen against us protesters, even terrorists as some MSM addressed us.
And here we are, with the area of the construction site, near where I live by the way, completely militarized, with fences and barbed wire, the final nail in the coffin for democracy, for those who blindly believed in it at least...
I don't have much to add to be honest, I've never been a "wordy" guy and I think that these photo speak for themselves already. All I can say is that I feel like a part of my soul is being ripped off everytime they touch our trees, and I'm pretty sure that is a feeling that I share with all my comrades from the resistance movement.

Thank you for reading this my friend, whoever you are, wherever you are
#NoTap né moi né mai
It starts like this bro... talking it up with other friends, with other groups, next thing you know these conversations gain momentum, momentum for change.
But change can start like this, one voice, a few words that lead to powerful ideas.
Thank you brother, hope this stuff will get that snowball effect that we desperately need, from my post or someone else's work...We're starting to receive solidariety from Sweden even, so something is moving...Non molliamo niente!
