Yeah, that's in the FAMOUS for FREE SPEECH West!!!!
"Italy muzzled scientist for 'spreading alarm'" by Gavin Jones, Reuters | April 7, 2009
ROME - An Italian scientist predicted a major earthquake around L'
The government yesterday insisted the warning, by seismologist Gioacchino Giuliani, had no scientific foundation, but Giuliani said he had been vindicated and wanted an apology.
MY government -- that's AmeriKa, folks -- claims jet fuel fires felled three towers on 9/11 despite the PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY of SUCH EVENTS!!!
Of course, I don't need to tell Italians a thing:
Coming Out All Over: 9/11 Was an INSIDE JOB!
The first tremors in the region were felt in mid-January and continued at regular intervals, creating mounting alarm in the medieval city, about 70 miles northeast of Rome. Vans with loudspeakers drove around the town a month ago telling locals to evacuate their houses after Giuliani, from the National Institute of Astrophysics, predicted a large quake, prompting the mayor's anger.
Oh, the POLITICIAN GOT ANGRY, huh?
He should be UP on MASS-MURDER CHARGES and HANGED like Mussolini!!!
Giuliani, who based his forecast on concentrations of radon gas around seismically active areas, was reported to police for "spreading alarm" and was forced to remove his findings from the Internet. "Now there are people who have to apologize to me and who will have what has happened on their conscience," Giuliani told the website of the daily La Repubblica.
Giuliani, who lives in L'Aquila and developed his findings while working at the National Institute of Nuclear Physics in the surrounding Abruzzo region, said he was helpless to act on Sunday as it became clear to him the quake was imminent.
"I didn't know who to turn to. I had been put under investigation for saying there was going to be an earthquake."
As the media asked whether, in light of his warnings, the government had protected the population properly, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi seemed on the defensive at a news conference. He said people should concentrate on relief efforts for now. "We can discuss afterwards about the predictability of earthquakes," he said.
Yeah, the AUTHORITIES ALWAYS SAY THAT -- just like after 9/11 here!!
DON'T ASK QUESTIONS or LOOK at the IMAGES of 9/11!!!
Just CONCENTRATE on the AFTERMATH while the AUTHORITIES COVER UP their NEGLIGENCE and CRIMES!!!!!
Italy's civil protection agency held a meeting of the Major Risks Committee, a grouping of scientists charged with assessing such risks, in L'Aquila on March 31 to reassure the townspeople.
And they WILL NEVER LISTEN TO or BELIEVE you LIARS EVER AGAIN!!!!
"The tremors being felt by the population are part of a typical sequence . . . [which is] absolutely normal in a seismic area like the one around L'Aquila," the agency said in a statement on the eve of that meeting. It said it saw no reason for alarm but was nonetheless carrying out "continuous monitoring and attention."
The head of the agency, Guido Bertolaso, referred back to that meeting at yesterday's joint news conference with Berlusconi. "There is no possibility of predicting an earthquake; that is the view of the international scientific community," he said.
And as Galileo found out, you don't question the lying scientists of official orthodoxy -- whether over 9/11, the global--warming fraud, or anything else.
Ross Stein, a geophysicist with the US Geological Survey, said yesterday the scientific consensus is that short-term earthquake prediction is not yet possible. He said that using radon gas detection to detect earthquakes had been studied extensively in the 1970s and '80s, but was found to be an inaccurate method for predicting quakes.
These the same scientists that agree on the globval-warming fart mist?
Pffffffttt!!
So now, in addition to all the other liars out there, you can no longer believe what scientists tell you. Thanks, guys!!!!
"Yes, some earthquakes are preceded by some kind of radon gas anomaly; others aren't," Stein said. "There are lots of false alarms, lots of spikes in radon without earthquakes following," and also earthquakes without any changes in radon.
Stein said if Giuliani publishes his results, the community can evaluate whether he had really predicted the quake or was just lucky. "There's a long history of lots of shotgun predictions and by random chance one of them will prove out, but that doesn't really mean it's reliable and dependable," Stein said.
Like the "terrorists" of 9/11 were just lucky enough to have Dogshit Dick Cheney directing the exact same scenario of war games that played out that day. What a coincidence!
Enzo Boschi, the head of Italy's National Geophysics Institute, said the real problem for Italy was a longstanding failure to take proper precautions despite a history of tragic quakes.
Yeah THAT'S WHY BERLUSCONI doesn't want anyone asking questions.
Maybe God was sending the Italians a message for reinstalling that obnoxious, lying, nauseating pieve of filth, huh?
"We have earthquakes but then we forget and do nothing. It's not in our culture to take precautions or build in an appropriate way in areas where there could be strong earthquakes," he said.
--more--"Btw, anybody hear a HAARP?
