Sicily Was Under Complete Blockade by Pitchfork Movement Triggered by 40% Gas Tax Hike … by Jim W. Dean, VT Editor


On January 16th, middle class Sicilians began a popular uprising appropriately called the ‘Pitchfork Movement’…’Movimento Dei Forconi’.

There are shades of the Occupy movement within it, but the core is not dissatisfied unemployed youth with no property or businesses to lose.

They are middle aged and older. They know that what they have left has been targeted by their own elites to bear the economic pain.

The other difference is size. Sicily’s five million people, their grass roots people, have occupied themselves.

So of course the story caught my eye and I then checked the mainstream media sites to look at what I was sure to be some great video. Wrong! So far, there is almost nothing.

The pitchforks movement in Sicily


A strike and blockade action has started the 16 by the association representing Sicilian truck drivers (Associazione Imprese Autotrasportatori Siciliani) and soon collected support and spread among fishermen, farmers, builders, unemployed and other categories.

What could corporate media possibly be afraid of? Well grab your seats, and here it is:

Sicily is Rising

The arrest of all corrupt politicians

Reduction in the number of Parliamentarians

Removal of the provincial bureaucracy (local crooks), as most of these politicians have been there for over forty years

Drastic cuts in the salaries and privileges of Parliamentarians and Senators

Restricting politicians to only two terms in office
Gee, I wonder if the reasons for the US media blackout have anything in common with the reasons stated for the Sicilian media blackout? Oh, wait, we're a free country there's no reason to hide anything from the American people. It's probably just that our mainstream media hasn't caught wind of this development yet. ;)

lesson here, when gas is too high, drivers stop delivery, next step food is gone in no time, people get angry and police show up. stop the flow of fuel, and people will starve. what would this do to America if fuel trucks stop delivering gas ?? hmmmmm ?? chaos ? riots ? police ? arrest ? panic ?
