ROME (AP) – The Italian government vowed to crack down on demonstrators threatening to block train tracks throughout the country on Wednesday as a rule requiring COVID-19 tests or vaccines takes effect for long-distance domestic public transport.

In a bid to rein in transmission of infections now that many have returned from summer holidays, domestic travelers in Italy must now show a so-called “Green Pass.” This certifies that they have received at least one dose of the vaccine more than 15 days ago, have tested negative in the past 48 hours or have recovered from COVID-19 in the past six months.

The rule, announced weeks ago, applies to domestic flights, train travel between regions and sea travel. Some ferries are exempt, notably those serving many tiny islands which have no other connections to the mainland, and those used by commuters between Sicily and and the southern tip of the mainland in Calabria.

The WEF is licking their chops at this and want to make it a standardized global thing.

They know better than to mess with the Sicilians—the vendettas could last for generation after generation....

If only Americans would do this sort of thing. But, no, they just angrily blog. Nothing is important enough to make We The Sheeple break a sweat.

“block train tracks”

Capt obvious suggests would suggest NOT stand on the tracks to block a train.

Standing in the roadways wouldn’t be a good idea either. Having lived in Italy for a while and experiencing their driving habits I can assure you the results would be disastrous.

Its a start, would be even better if parts of the tracks were no longer useable.

On General Sherman's march across the South, the troops would build bonfires, heat up rails over them, and then wrap the rails around nearby trees.

In current day in Manhattan, New York, they don't just stop the subway trains from running, they derail them:

It took many centuries of nasty stuff happening to them to get the Sicilians to have their “attitude”....

“Rome wasn’t built in a day”....

Americans are slow to anger...

Along those lines, Europe has been down this path before and seems to remember. Americans are still sitting in our easy chairs, flipping channels.

Time to fight back, folks. If we don’t the shroud of communism will cover us all.
