Sicily Pitchfork Movement in Revolt – Western Media Blackout

On January 16th, middle class Sicilians began a popular uprising appropriately called the ‘Pitchfork Movement’…’Movimento Dei Forconi’.

There are shades of the Occupy movement within it, but the core is not dissatisfied unemployed youth with no property or businesses to lose.

They are middle aged and older. They know that what they have left has been targeted by their own elites to bear the economic pain.

From North to South, the number of Italians dissatisfied with the reforms and tax hikes introduced by the government, led by Prime Minister Monti, keeps growing.
