Click on this map and check if by mistake you bought some vegetables, cheese or meat coming from these places. This movie (click here to watch it) is only in Italian, but if you’ve some patience you’ll find that in the cities pinpointed in this map:
- water wells exploded because of bio-gas produced by illegal waste
- people are dying of cancer with a rate 6 times higher than in the rest of Italy
- sheep give birth to mutant babies because of high toxic levels of dioxin in the fields
- toxic wastes are used as compost (!) to fertilize agricultural areas
- shepherds have from 10 to 50 times higher concentration of dioxin in their bodies, and eventually die.

Did you know anything about this Psiphon? From its website: “Psiphon is a human rights software project developed by the Citizen Lab at the Munk Centre for International Studies that allows citizens in uncensored countries to provide unfettered access to the Net through their home computers to friends and family members who live behind firewalls of states that censor.”
To make the thing clear:
1) You have Tibetan friends who want to put on youtube some movies from the last events.
2) You install Psiphon on your computer and you become a node (not filtered by Chinese government)
3) You send your friends an e-mail with your node address, account name and password you choose.
3) Your friends connect to your node from China and through your computer visit all these websites Chinese government bans, youtube included. Read the rest of this entry »

… I hope this thing above was worth it, as the sun shined all day long out there and my friends were skiing in Andermatt.

Everybody writing against Miss Bimbo internet game. Everybody shouting against a game that permits girls to have a perfect, sexy and cool virtual body – even via plastic surgery or extreme diets. Why are you all so hypocrites? Do you live on another planet? Don’t you see your girls are already dolls, even without Miss Bimbo? Miss Bimbo is the product of this crappy society, not the cause. Go out on Saturday and visit your commercial center. You’ll find thousand of moms carrying bags full of fashion products for their little angels: plastic jewels, tangas and push ups made by Walt Disney, sexy skirts and hot t-shirts .. everything is done for your babies to look like lolitas, and you parents are part of it. Google out how many underage girls go for real for plastic surgery to have bigger breasts and hot lips. Did you react against all of this before miss Bimbo came out? Wake up, parent associations! You cry out when the damage is already done.

“Migliorare l’assistenza del consolato? Ma via, Di Gerolamo, non spari cagate! Qui tutti sanno che il consolato italiano e’ una fogna per raccomandati e figli di o amici di. Il livello d’incompetenza e arroganza agli sportelli e’ arci-noto. Sara’ mica lei che lo cambia adesso, vero? Il governo del suo capo durò cinque anni. Lo sapete benissimo che questo e’ il peggiore consolato del mondo. Perche’ non li avete cacciati a pedate nel c..o allora? Perche’, dannazione, sono AMICI degli AMICI vostri, ecco perche.“
Il testo completo di Dalla Valle (un ex-italiano divenuto inglese) lo trovate oggi sul blog di Grillo . Letto cio’, mi tornano in mente le devastanti esperienze avute al consolato italiano di Colonia prima e di Zurigo poi. Read the rest of this entry »

If this nice map doesn’t convince you, click on the post picture: it’s a spectacular view from the Cuolm Val, which, together with the Val-Val, is one of the funniest and most panoramic slopes in the Arena.

I can understand if on a Swiss restaurant menu they serve “ficaccia” instead of “focaccia” (focaccia is a typical Italian bread – ficaccia has something to do with sex …). I can understand if the announcements on Matterhorn-Gotthard trains are only in French, German and English. But, click on the post picture and read the signal: this is REALLY too much. This shield is in Sedrun.
