Observer: "The government of the new Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, is to shut down Genoa for four days in an unprecedented security crackdown on anti-globalisation protesters. The airport, main train stations and key motorway junctions will all be closed from 18 to 22 July in an attempt to restrict access to tens of thousands of demonstrators who plan to converge on the city.

So the Mafia, the KGB and the CIA have the right to control the entire city and all it's citizens with unprecedented security measures, to decide in private, how the rest of the world must endure their hellish agenda. As Tony Blair said, "It's an affront to democracy."

So......they have to place an ENTIRE city as a prison to allow their activities to go unopposed. Democracy?.......................

I fore-see 'Escape from Genoa' as the new hollywood blockbuster!

"Snake Pliskin rescues Phoney Blair and Dubya from their downed aircraft as the crusties rip their homing becons from their wrists! fantastic action sequences as the dark, masked enforcers attack the masses with violence and weapons never seen on the streets of a 'democratic' country before!!"
