BBC: Murder Planned By Italian Fascists

anti-fascist.org 22.06.2001 10:20
The Ultra Rightwing Italian Government is busily manufacturing reasons to start a murder campaign against trade opponents and a
anti-globalisation protestors. In a sleazy attempt to justify his actions Bersulloni has started a campaign of disinformation and
lies about the protestors, suggesting such unlikely threats as IRA, Afghanis, Basque separatists and Chechyan Rebels will be demonstrating their opposition to G8 Summit.

Innocent teens who do get killed will be written up by the fascist media as "suspect terrorists" and other nonsense.

Ghandi said: "When they begin to fight you, you have won. "

Body bags stockpiled for Genoa summit

Italian authorities have ordered 200 body bags as they step up preparations for a violent confrontation at next month's G8 summit in Genoa, say Italian media reports.

A room at the city's hospital will also be set aside as a temporary
mortuary, said Italian news agency ANSA.

The reports come amid growing concern that the G8 summit will
witness even worse confrontation than last weekend's European
meeting in Gothenburg. Tens of thousands of protesters - from
anarchists to Basque separatists - are expected to head for Genoa.



We view the threats as totally serious, but hope that with joint
efforts we can solve all the problems
Russian security chief Yevgeny Murov

As well as the threat of street unrest, Italian authorities have been
warned that attempts may be made on the lives of some of the
world leaders present.

One threat passed on to Italy by the German secret service is of an
assassination plan by Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden, aimed at
US President George W Bush. Militant supporters of Bin Laden are
said to planning a possible bomb attack.

President Putin's personal security will also be stepped up because
of a possible threat from Chechen rebels, say his bodyguards.


Mr Putin's bodyguards have already visited Genoa and met the
heads of special services from nearly all the countries being
represented there, said Russian security chief Yevgeny Murov, head
of the FSO.

"Each special service works out its own method of providing
security these days. Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service renders
enormous assistance to us, and we are in a permanent contact with
them," he said in an interview with the Russian newspaper
Komsomolskaya Pravda.

He said his agency was aware of the Bin Laden threat, and was
making its Genoa preparations in the light of them.

"We view the threats as totally serious, but hope that with joint
efforts we can solve all the problems," said Murov.

Leaders from Italy, France, Canada, the UK, Japan and Germany will
also be at the two-day summit, which starts on 20 July.

Italian authorities are preparing a huge force of 20,000 police and
soldiers, backed by the threat of tear gas, water cannon and a
formidable array of military hardware.


Italian plans
20,000 officers (against 2,000 in Sweden)
Practice 'war games' being held
Tear gas and water cannon lined up
15 helicopters, four planes, seven naval boats
Rooftop squads, hidden cameras, satellite surveillance
Presidents Bush, Chirac based on aircraft carriers

A "ring of steel" will be imposed on the city. Railway stations and
motorway junctions will be closed, and flights into Genoa diverted.

In the city itself, the streets around the summit venue have been
declared as a "red zone", and will be blocked off by dozens of
armoured vehicles. Outside the red zone, some areas will be set
aside for protesters to make their views known.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has said he wants dialogue
with the protesters, and stresses the legimitate right of people to
make their views known, but he has warned them that violent
extremists will be "isolated and not be allowed to do harm".

Aircraft carriers

As the security operation continues to build up, some organisers
are still reported to be keen to switch the summit venue to a cruise
ship, which would be moored safely out at sea somewhere along
the Italian Riviera.

At least two conference leaders - President Bush and French
President Jacques Chirac - are already planning waterborne
accommodation. Both will stay on aircraft carriers while attending
the summt.

Concern about security has deepened since events in Gothenburg,
when Swedish police appeared to be overwhelmed by the scale and
depth of violence.

A lavish dinner had to be cancelled and some delegations had to
switch hotels after police said they could no longer guarantee their
safety.

Three protesters were shot and dozens of police officers were hurt.

Mediale Vorbereitung von Verbrechen

- 22.06.2001 - 11:13
Meistens werden Aktionenen medial vorbereitet. Wenn eine Kriminalisierungswlle gegen eine bestimmte Gruppe (od. Projekt) starten soo, häufen sich "zufälligerweise" davor Meldungen über diese Gruppe, wie schlimm diese doch sei. So wurde im Vorfeld des Verbots der maidemo in Berlin in den Medien viel über die Pläne der Cahoten geschrieben, die die Stadt zerdtören wollten..... Was Genua angeht, waren nach Göteborg sogar Berichte über angebliche Versuche der "Chaoten" zu lesen, wonach diese palnten die Regierenden in Genua mit biolog. Kampfstoffen anzugreifen. Die Meldungen über Pläne und Boshaftigkeit der "Chaoten" häufen sich. Aber das mit den 200 Särgen macht dann doch etwas Angst!

body bags

Für Leute, die nicht perfekt in Englisch sind oder zu wenig Phantasie haben: "body bags" sind Leichenhüllen, sprich diese Folien, in die Leichen eingepackt werden.

nur ein weiteres Beispiel...

...von vielen.

In der aktuellen FOCUS-Ausgabe kommentiert das Magazin eines der so beliebten Riot-Fotos aus Göteborg so etwa mit folgendem Satz: "Schlimme Ausschreitungen zwischen Globalisierungsgegnern und der Polizei in deren Verlauf es sogar zu Schiessereien kam.. " (Fakten, Fakten, Fakten eben)

Wer will....
