Hyping the bad weather: GENOVA RAINSTORMS

Unread post by nonhocapito »

You might have heard of the recent hydro-geologic disasters in Italy and especially the Liguria region, due to the heavy rains and bad conditions of the territory.

Well, sure, I know that heavy rains and landfalls and floods happened here and there, however... Is this really not photoshop? :blink:

Important it is also to note how these pictures come from articles stating that the number of victims in Liguria is now declared to be... 11. <_<

100% PS.

crack in front of back left wheel is missing in photo 2.

Photo 4 has a date on the truck 11/11 - 2011...surely the hoaxist's maximus date in the entire universe!

Dear Nonho,

I've been looking at these Genova rainstorm pictures too. The ones you found can be easily exposed as photoshopped :

Image

Please COMPARE the next 2 pictures:

***********************************************************************************************************************

Also, have a look at these two (PIC1 is from a video - and PIC2 is from a still photo):
Image

Image

Question1: Why can't we see CAR "B" in PIC2?
Question2: Why is backdrop building "<X>" much wider in PIC2?

I am quite baffled as to WHY these images from the Genova rainstorms are photoshopped. Please help me out!... :wacko:

I also find these 2 pictures amazingly - uh, shall we say... "coincidental" (they are NOT supposed to be of the same location, of course...)

Different ambulances - and different blue cars? Yeah, just pure happenstance, I suppose...Silly me.

Nonhocapito,

My girlfriend also pointed out this road sign here:

Image

What is it supposed to be? An "18T" variant of this kind of sign? :huh:
Image

She joked that it may have been swiftly put up as the flood came - to indicate that cargo ships heavier than 18 tonnes were not admitted on that street... :lol:

After a bit of searching, I finally found the spot of the truck hole in Genova.
It is in via donghi, here: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=44 ... 7,,0,-9.61


Image

It seems so incredible that they would be able to photoshop this event in a residential, crowded angle of the city, where people can face out from windows and judge by themselves if the truck and the hole are there or not! And yet, the photoshopped pictures exist (and a dubious video too, here: http://www.youreporter.it/video_Cratere_in_Via_Donghi) <_<

Strange 11's pasted on the side of truck and on 11/11/11 too!

Image

What's with the preponderance of street-signs in all the photos? Green Cross featured again!I know it's a city, but everytime something happens, like Norway, it's street signs in every photo! Calling card perhaps?

Image

I wonder...

http://www.gci.ch/

"To respond to the combined challenges of security, poverty and environmental degradation to ensure a sustainable and secure future"

Founding President Michael Gorbachev

Would this event be deemed to be an Environmental Disaster? Like the Mudslide? Funny that!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Cross_International

"Gorbachev's "Green Cross International" based in Geneva, Switzerland, (one of many globalist organizations he has played a principle role in creating), boldly stated in a May, 1997 news release that Gorbachev "may be the last remaining Global leader" and that he is "…a man with a still-unfulfilled destiny.""

Haven't we seen this also??

This is hilarious! I had to watch this video several times to see if I was perceiving this correctly -- pay attention to the parking lines. It's supposed to be angled parking, but as the camera moves, the lines magically change from straight-in parking to angle parking and back!

Haha - you're quite right, dear HonestlyNow! Good catch.

Yes! Pay attention to the parking lines...I think it's game over here for these images. Move on folks, nothing to see here :lol:

Simon, you were rhetorically asking before why would they photoshop and alter reports from the weather front.

I've been thinking about this, and I just wanted to give a tentative answer -- probably unnecessary for our most experienced members -- but maybe useful for the reader new to the topics of fakery and propaganda.

The purpose of hyping the bad weather in italy in this historical moment is at least twofold: on one hand, naturally, the relief funds: they make a lot of money to the organizations involved, and, if there is no actual damage to repair, it is all dough that can be pocketed.

On the other hand, and most importantly: As described on this thread, an historical transition is happening in the country: it is crucial to make sure that the people see the change with relief, as a welcome change against disruption and shame. To show the country in peril and under stress on any front, including the stability of the territory, up to the last moment of Berlusconi's reign, helps in generating the general perception, even for the majority always reluctant to change, that things would be much better in someone else's hands.

As long as the citizens delegate the power, of course.

It matters not that the change piloted from above is really not meant in the interest of the people, but rather to confirm and tighten the chains to banks and corporations; it matters not that the people had no saying in the matter: they have to rejoice and applaud. I am convinced that showing these images of the disasters due to rainstorms and violent weather was an important part of the plan to rid Italy of Berlusconi. Only a few decades ago, when Berlusconi had to create the right situation in the country for him to seize power, he allegedly had the mafia to put bombs in some of the major italian cities. Today, the same result can be accomplished with apparently unrelated and faked events -- such as these hydro-geological disasters -- that in reality have a major psychological impact on the population, more effective than any "political" attack.
