Discovered the ultimate cure for the NIMBY syndrome!
Reported by Beppe Grillo (popular Italian blog), but ignored by mainstream television news as usual: with an urgent decree effective since May 1st 2008, Italian Government allows toxic/nuclear waste storage sites, polluting power plants, incinerators and similar tourist attractions to be covered by State Secret.
Information about their existence, location and environmental impact can be declared “classified”: anybody revealing them risks up to 5 years in prison.
Even the official Public Health agencies are banned from exercising their ordinary monitoring powers: in other words, no common people can actually measure, know or tell if a certain place in the sun-blessed Italian seaside or countryside is being actively poisoned by a government-blessed shit factory.
In the embedded Youtube movie clip, former Minister of Culture and Tourism Francesco Rutelli (of the cabinet which wrote the aforementioned decree) invites you to visit the Best Country in the World®.
