Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi Attack At Milan Rally Condemned As "Act Of Terrorism"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Populist anger is starting to awake all over the world, as the G-20's actions continue favoring only the "aristocratic" banker class. We hope Berlusconi's mistresses will still find him just as attractive even with a black eye, bleeding lips and busted teeth.

Obama to send 30,000 troops to Italy, to defend freedom, build nation-building, train police, stop the selling of votes for sex (or, sex for votes?), and learn why the local religious leaders dress so funny.

I understand and generally agree with the idea of non-violance.

But you know, one can't underestmate the potential for behavioral correction brought on by a broken nose and a few broken teeth. Better governments live in fear of citizens versus citizens living in fear of government.

Ummmm...

Greece defies Europe as EMU crisis turns deadly serious

Euroland's revolt has begun. Greece has become the first country on the distressed fringes of Europe's monetary union to defy Brussels and reject the Dark Age leech-cure of wage deflation.

"Salaried workers will not pay for this situation: we will not proceed with wage freezes or cuts. We did not come to power to tear down the social state," he said.

Were we to believe that a country in the grip anarchist riots and prey to hard-Left unions would risk its democracy to please Brussels?

Wrong... The squid has no place to go - name one. So it will retract the tentacles for a while, and put some lipstick for a good measure. The proles will rejoice, and then rinse, repeat. Happy holidays...

If anyone is bored, check out "The Panama Deception" courtesy of YouTube of course,

 or try reading a bit of "Silent Weapons for a Quiet War". Great reading.

Dear Sirs - I like a lot of what ZH does.

But yet another time, you show i) an embarassing, outlandish, ignorance of basic matters outside the borders of the United States in the worst tradition of your country (e.g. you seem to have discovered the existence of Dubai 3 weeks ago)ii) an alarming tendency for dangerous and misleading simplification of international events

Maybe getting some Europeans to write for you would avoid you this type of gaffes. Certainly, most of them would not have the revolting arrogance to post with glee and with your "i told you so tone" the news that the US president has been punched in the face. While I personally find that in itself sickening and irresponsible - a tone unworthy of any publication that wants itself to be considered relevant - the real reason why your post is (quite frankly) idiotic, is that the man who hit Berlusconi suffers from mental illness and has been under treatment for 20 years. Such a person is representative of nothing if not a sad and unfortunate human condition and your attempt to portray this as the beginning of some widespread social instability or the end for Italy or Europe is nothing if not proposterous.

Berlusconi is probably the prototype of corrupt leader.

He's got the country so rigged he brags about it.

No surprise he has made himself a target for the most obvious rage.

Hello people - the guy who did this was mentally unstable.
Ignorant americans and other foreigners (by no means all of the population...)who know next to NOTHING about the Italian situation, should stop rambling about this stuff with their whacky conspiracy theories. keep them for another occasion.

FYI Italy has had none of the financial sector unbalances of caused by US and co. style housing bubbles and you can accuse Berlusconi of everything except favouring the "aristocratic banker class" (whatever that means), since he is not really in favour of free market economics. Conversely, his government has kept the country finances afloat for now - avoiding populist spending sprees that others have followed. For that, he would deserve anything but praise - if you were into serious analysis instead of tabloid - style populism that is.

And also, ZH shows itself to be the truly anti-democratic one, repeadtedly refusing to publish comments that go against the populist mindset of many people of this website (second time i try to write this).

Why do think the US CONGRESS has increased security and budgets to protecting their conspiring thieving asses?

14.5% increase in Capital expenditures in this Depression for FY2010?

The Aristocrat Elitists want their "CAKE" protected.

Imagine that... That "other" Fascist Obama, is having Tea and Crumpets with the Banksters today!
