Italy Deploys 20,000 Law Enforcement Officers to Protect Individuals and Sensitive Sites
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports Italy deploys 20,000 to protect sensitive targets
Italy increased security Thursday at 14,000 sites, and assigned bodyguards to protect 550 individuals after a nuclear energy company official was shot and letter bombs directed to the tax collection agency.
Under the enhanced measures, Interior Minister Anna Maria Cancellieri deployed 20,000 law enforcement officers to protect individuals and sensitive sites. In addition, 4,200 military personnel already assigned throughout Italy will be redeployed according to new priorities.
Authorities will also increase intelligence to “neutralize” the risk of subversive actions “that can be nourished in moments of tension,” the statement added.
Taxed Out of House and Home
In response to Tax Collection Violence in Italy: Mail Bombs in Rome, Police Clashes in Naples, Molotov Cocktails in LivornoI received an email from Frank who lives in Canada but owns property in Italy writes …
“Hello Mish
Trust me, it really is that bad.
I have a condo on the Adriatic in Italy, and lots of family still there. The local municipal property tax, called Imposta Comunale Immobili (ICI), is paid by anyone who owns property or land, whether they are a resident or not.
Recently, property taxes have gone up fast. Property is now being reassessed at the “real” value instead of the “official” (wink) value.
TV shows highlight the plight of elderly who have had to move out of their own homes into nursing homes because they could not pay property taxes.
My uncle has 6 apartments which he’s owned for many years. He and his children live in 4 and he collects rent on the other 2 to live on. He is getting hammered.
He lived and worked in Canada most of his life but returned to Italy because his daughter married an Italian.
Now he desperately wants to return to Canada, but it’s impossible to sell now.
Frank G.”

News from Italy
Hello brothers, I'm Italian and I am writing to give you a brief update of the situation here: criminal laws are making life unbearable for the people, a people by nature gentle, cheerful and patient .... For us these are days of great pain, because a bomb exploded in front of a school, killing a girl and seriously injuring many more students. Warning: NOT was the mafia who put the bomb, as the media write!!!! Many Italians think it is a strategy of terror by freemasonry, corrupt politicians, rogue intelligence pieces and speculative finance.
Last night we also had an earthquake that caused deaths, injuries, displaced persons and damage.
So I ask you, with all my heart, to send Light and Love in the coming hours to support the Italian people not to be intimidated and restrained in its path of evolution and release.
Many thanks and a big hug from Italy :****
Love & Light
Love & Light are upon you.
Dont' loose your Focus on Love.
We're all One and together. Help all you can to wake up to Love.
Love you.
Love & Light
Thank you, ANdReA. Be assured that I will do everything in my power to comfort, reassure and awaken to love our brothers, that's why I'm here. Light, Love and Truth can not be stopped.
You are in my heart. One Love
