No, I do...Well, Christopher, it depends on the day. No, I do not have a real shelter. I have been staying in youth hostels or literally sleeping on the street. Cleopatra has been staying in an office and she is a nervous wreck. The weather is starting to change and I have one small suitcase full of summer clothes, as everything else is locked inside my apartment, and they have changed the locks. Some days I don't eat ANYTHING because I don't have any money, and, apparently local agenices have been instructed not to help me. One Catholic agency gave me food but I must be there at 7PM or I can't eat, and it is difficult if I am over here on the Lido. This has been going on since June 10th. It's INHUMANE. They are waiting for me to give up, but I WILL NOT because no one should be treated the way they are treating me. <br /><br />For example, on Friday, I went to the Carabinieri to denounce my landlady for physically attacking me. They told me to wait for 20 minutes to half and hour. After an HOUR AND A HALF a senior Carabinieri official came out and told me I could not do it there. It made me angry because they keep running me in circles and deliberately waste my time, and of course it is exhausting and difficult to work.<br /><br />They keep trying to block Google and my blog, but Google is standing strong. MediaSet (the company controlled by the Prime Minister, Berlusconi) keeps suing Google; harassing Google. I had drinks at a conference with some people from Google the other night, and I thanked them for allowing me to exist, and giving me a voice. Really. It is a little miracle that I can still reach you by the Internet.<br /><br />If you want to follow the trail, start by googling Endemol and see how you are being affected there in America without your knowledge:<br /><br />Endemol<br />A consortium headed by Mediaset, and also consisting of Goldman Sachs and John de Mol's Cyrte Group, acquired Dutch television production company Endemol in 2007.[2]<br /><br />If anyone knows how to figure out PayPal (I no longer have a credit card), please let me know.Cat Bauer in Venice Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376687575392758300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658567784785639005.post-5842578649314590492009-09-11T13:39:47.986+02:002009-09-11T13:39:47.986+02:00Cat, for those of us who are thinking of you, coul...Cat, for those of us who are thinking of you, could you tell us how you are doing?
