Sicily stands up to their EU provincial government.

This week saw the launch of a popular uprising in Sicily, by a group known as the ‘Movimento dei Forconi’ or ‘Pitchfork Movement’.

the tap: Italy Is Revolting

The trigger for these events was the vampire state sinking it’s fangs deeper into the already hampered Italian economy; a vicious tax was added to petrol, diesel and other energy sources in December.

Is this what happens when the democratic bluff breaks down?

All our elected politicians need to fear; is having sharpened ballot papers thrust into their backs at election time.

Why is it always the worst places to live that are the posterboys for 'freedom'? Sicily is a beautiful place but the society is so strangled and rotten it makes Ireland look positively dynamic. It has a massive negative birthrate and anyone who can read and write leaves as soon as they are old enough, it looks like a giant sunny old folks home.

Their demands are :

• The arrest of all corrupt politicians.
• To reduce the number of parliamentarians
• To remove the provincial bureaucracy, as most of these politicians have been there for over forty years.
• To drastically cut the salaries and privileges of parliamentarians and senators
• To restrict politicians two only two terms in office

We are seeing some of these demands from Occupy in Europe, this differs a bit in that its a producers group. More of a a tea-party affair.

Our own producers are bought already through the land-dole and the massive loans pushed on us to keep the show on the road.

Mario Monti is a part of the global Mafia. They have recently removed his picture from the frontpage of their site: - www.trilateral.org

He has resigned as their leader in Europe it states.
