Italian Police Seize Blog Over 'Kill Berlusconi' Satire
Giorgio Maone writes "Italian Police just seized the Savona e Ponente Blog because the 60-year-old journalist Valeria Rossi posted a satirical article titled 'I want to kill Berlusconi,' writing that 'you can't feel guilty of wishing him death, because he's not human: he's an alien, with incredible psychic powers.' Otherwise, how could such a clown, with multiple pending trials for corruption, tax offenses, abuse of power and even child prostitution, convince the majority of the other politicians and a consistent slice of Italian people to keep him as their prime minister for almost 20 years now? Here's a mirror of the incriminating text (Italian)." And here's a translation to English.
It all boils down to "laws and morality are for little people." If there's a lack of a credible alternative, it's probably because the credible alternatives, being a little guys, get discredited through illegal (but not to the PTB) acts the inute they come on the radar.
Someone had to do it.
