Italy's Romani Purge & Shengen 2's biometric database : a Q&A

17-05-2008 18:23

By now much of the English human rights' orientated readership are aware of the ongoing pogrom against Romani gypsies in Italy. A process which has seen camps burnt in Naples and Milan, a story of child snatching faked and prompted weak condemnation from the EU of mass expulsions. Whenever the swamp filth of hatred is agitated so effectively at so many levels of any society it is wise to look for other agenda. It's even wiser to suggest such other agenda in a silly and ironic way. Thus I offer a short Q&A to readers who might like to understand where all this is going... November 2009 implementation of biometric and other database requirements for all nonEU humans within our fortress.

Protecting the Roma from Rome's new Mayor.

14-05-2008 14:10

Gianni Alemanno was elected in April on a mixture of promises typical of his far-right platform. Upon his election fascist salutes were given to cries of "Duce!" on the steps of the Capitol in Rome. The most repugnant election promise was the immediate expulsion of Roma "gypsies" from the city. The Italian police have just been mobilised in Naples to protect Roma encampments from hate attacks last night which saw their shanties burnt. Many believed the general election which was lost by Veltroni (the former mayor of Rome) to Berlusconi was prompted because of the ongoing waste collection crises in Naples. It's time to identify the fascists.
