BERLUSCONI ATTACK FAKED?

After all major incidents, conspiracy theories…

Was the attack on Silvio Berlusconi faked?

I’m not buying into this but it’s worth taking note of…:

It asks why the blood on Berlusconi’s face appears to be ‘thick and already’ set and also asks why if as the hospital later said he had lost ‘half a litre of blood’ is his suit and shirt not drenched.
-
Also highlighted in a security guard who is seen handing Berlusconi something in his car and the video suggests that it is a ‘aerosol spray containing fake blood.’

The video then goes on to ask viewers to ’switch off the TV and use your brains’ and adds that the attack by graphic designer Massimo Tartaglia, 42, was nothing more than a ’self styled plot.’

At this point, there’s no there there. It’s no surprising to me that there’s an audience for this stuff — people tend to enjoy a good conspiracy theory now and again — and I wouldn’t put it past the bizarre Italian PM to give this a go, but there’s no solid evidence of any fakery just yet.
