Wake Up Schifani

sveglia-schifani.jpg


If the mountain doesn’t go to Mohamed, Mohamed goes to the mountain. If Schifani ignores 350,000 citizens, 350,000 citizens have to go to Schifani.
The President of the Senate doesn’t supply any response on the insertion of the “Cleanup Parliament” law on the Senate’s agenda. Even after the “Cozza Day” {Mussel Day} demonstration he has not felt the tiniest need to make a declaration. He acts like a mussel in a barrel. It is thus necessary to launch the operation: "Svegliati_Schifani" {Wake Up Schifani}. It’s simple. Every citizen who meets the reticent Schifani has to go up to him and ask him to discuss the law for the popular initiative “Cleanup Parliament”. If necessary, leave him a memory-jogger with the three proposals: no one with criminal convictions in parliament, a maximum of two terms of office, direct election of candidates. Take a souvenir photo or a quick video of your meeting to inform the person in the second highest position in the State and publish it on Flickr or on YouTube with the tag: "Svegliati_Schifani". The blog will do a never-ending photo and film gallery of the results. The technique of the rubber mussel operated by Schifani can see the collapse of the request for the popular law at the end of this legislature. Before 2013 however he will have to give a personal explanation to all the Italians who meet him on the street or who bump into him on holiday. Schifani needs to be informed wherever he happens to be within earshot.
There are two ways to cause the failure of “Cleanup Parliament”. The first is to not talk about it or to denigrate it by spouting off super-bullshit as has been done by the beneficiary of the parliamentary annuity Uòlter Veltroni : 'As regards Beppe Grillo’s anti-political demonstration, “Cozza Day” {Mussel Day}, last Saturday: «When I hear it said that the solution being shouted about is that of closing down Parliament it brings to mind the last speech given from that high backed chair by Giacomo Matteotti to defend the liberty and the democracy of the country.»' No one wants to close down Parliament, we just want to clean it up. The second way is to launch a referendum of mass distraction to capture the protest of the citizens like the abolition of the “Porcellum” on the part of those who, like Prodi and Parisi, were in government for two years without saying a word against the current election law. The cancellation of the “Porcellum” would leave things as they are. The convicts would continue to sip coffee in the cafeteria at Montecitorio and without the limit of two terms of office the mussels, and in particular the party secretaries, would stay eternally in Parliament. I notice in the air there’s the song of the “uccello padulo” {flying prick} of the patrimonial and of new sacrifices. In principle, I’m not against it, but only if the political class that has brought Italy to the brink of collapse, takes itself out of circulation. It’s rotten blood in the veins and the arteries of the country.

I think it more important to comment on Berlusconi's insult to Merkel.

Germany reacts to Berlusconi’s outburst against Angela Merkel

Diplomatic relations between Italy and Germany have deteriorated following President Berlusconi’s unacceptable verbal attack on Angela Merkel. Germany has announced a call up of its armed forces and powerful armoured divisions have moved to its southern borders. A two pronged attack through France and Switzerland at high speed by Mercs, BMWs and Audis could reach the Italian capital in hours along the autostradas.

At the same time its heavy armoured vehicles known as Camping cars would cross the mountain passes. These vehicles can hold up to six people with provisions to keep them auto sufficent for 15 days. They come with sophisticated telecommunications including satellite TVs and radios and bikes used for reconnaissance and raiding missions in the forests and countryside. Their aim is to disrupt communications in Italy’s winding hillside roads. Their slow pace means that no other vehicle can possibly get past.

Italy’s defence relies on Fiats, Lancias and Alfas but they are no match for the five metre long heavy German motorized divisions. Instead Italy has mobilized light motorized divisions of motorbikes and scooters ideal for use in urban areas using hit and run tactics. They have also constructed layers of impenetrable spaghetti along the northern borders. Anyone caught up in the twisting web of pasta risks being trapped and suffocating to death.

Given the distance to the German capital, Berlin, Italy relies on its air power to bombard German cities with pizzas. But its fleet of Alitalia aircraft are often delayed sometimes due to fog or strikes and miss their targets. In retaliation Germany’s own air force Lufthansa has organized raids over Italian cities dropping potatoes on the civilian population whose only defence is to protect their heads with large pizzas.

Germany has had to resort to drastic measures to protect its citizens from the thousands of pizza restaurants across the country by placing armed guards outside and putting the Italian restaurant staff under house arrest. Angela Merkel’s call to arms “Fix sausages” has rallied her people while Italy’s pizza factories are working overtime in an effort to help the country’s defence programme.

Italy has accused Germany of using biological weapons by dropping sauerkraut from its aircraft to contaminate Italy’s population. Germany’s response has been to accuse Italy of poisoning its people through a black liquid called expresso. In an attempt to avoid all out conflict a meeting has been proposed between Berlusconi and Merkel. The Italian president is believed to be holed up in his Sardinian hideaway, the Bongagarten, but Merkel has not been invited. Rumours have it that Berlusconi does not like her cosy kiss and cuddle relationship with French President Sarkozy.

It is also believed that outside interests are attempting to take advantage of the situation. Secret forces in Wall Street and the City of London are using financial weapons of mass destruction to destroy the economies of both nations.

Italy’s last option is to use its secret weapon: illegal parking. It has been infiltrating every Germany town and city with motorised forces using its creative ability to park anywhere, in “angles unknown to geometry” as they has been called, to create havoc by bringing traffic to a standstill.
