The New Scientific Priesthood Wants Complete Control of What We Are Told Wed Dec 18, 2024 13:32 | Dr David McGrogan
The ambition of elites to "manage the infodemic" amounts to the establishment of a scientific priesthood that wants full control of what we are told to ensure we only come to approved conclusions, says Dr David McGrogan.

China has cancelled Christmas in Hong Kong this year. Officials have ordered that the usual celebrations be 'toned down'. It's part of a creeping intolerance that leaves churches fearing for the future, says John MacNab.

"Another Europe is possible is a broad based alliance with the aim of bringing groups and individuals together from all over the Island of Ireland to co-ordinate events during the EU presidency-"
This is simply not true. It would be accurate if you said:
Another Europe is possible is a campaign set up by the SWP which they hope will become a broad-based alliance... Although members of many other groups have attended meetings, no other organisation has formally affiliated to the alliance [or maybe I'm wrong on this, if so please correct me]

ANOTHER EUROPE IS POSSIBLE
PEOPLE NOT PROFIT AND PEACE NOT WAR
The Irish Government has the Presidency of the EU from January to June 2004. It will be using its term as EU president to increase the competitiveness of the EU, to press for agreement on the draft EU Constitution, and improve EU-US relations. We, however plan to highlight and mobilise for a very different type of Europe.
l No to a Europe of Militarisation and War, No to a European Army. Yes to Irish Neutrality Improving EU/US relations means continuing support for the US/UK led war on terror. Ahern and PDs allow the US military to use Shannon airport, while claiming to oppose the war in Iraq. Ahern and the other EU leaders want a militarised Europe enshrined into any new EU constitution, and closer EU-Israel relations while Palestinians still suffer.
l No a Europe of profit and privatisation. Yes to a Europe of Social rights and workers rights The Irish Government and the EU are promoting a neo-liberal agenda of privatisation, de-regulation, reducing taxes on the wealthy, worsening workers conditions, cutting back in public spending and prioritising the profit of big corporations before the needs of ordinary people. We can see this agenda in the break up and privatisation of Aer Rianta and CIE, in waste services charges, the sell-off of social housing and privatisation in health and education
l No to a Europe of Racism and deportations. Yes to rights of immigrants and asylum seekers The EU promotes the movement of capital and profit across borders while immigrants and asylum seekers face increasing harassment and deportations by the governments of Fortress Europe especially under the Schengen Agreement. We want a real Europe of the welcomes not a fortress Europe-As Justice Ministers meet in Dublin ? Protest for immigrants and asylum seekers rights- 1pm Fri 23rd January, Dublin Castle
May 1st - the day the Irish government is inviting the warmongers Blair, Berlusconi and Aznar, along with the other EU heads of state to celebrate the enlargement of the EU. We invite you to demonstrate in Dublin on May 1st to oppose Blair and others who have Iraqi blood on their hands, and to oppose their neo-liberal Europe of privatisation and poverty.
It is hypocrisy on the part of the FF/PD Government to call May 1st a day of welcomes when they offer no welcome to asylum seekers fleeing war, poverty and exploitation. We invite you to help us build a movement for Another Europe based on solidarity and peace.

A few months ago if you mentioned the name of Jack O Connor to a SWPer, they'd start foaming at the mouth and telling you how he was a stooge of the bosses and was single-handedly responsible for the failure of the bin tax blockades. Now he is a star name in their European front.
Opportunist - oh never. If you asked nicely enough you could get Barrett and Coughlan up there too.
If you don't like the SWP or any other revolutionary socialist groups or parties, that's your problem, but you should not put foo other people from becoming involved in the campaign. If you don't want group X or Y to "use" or lead campaigns get your ass up and become active and involved in the campaign!
If I know that a group is a dishonest front for a cult, I have a duty to warn others about it. And if I think that something is an undemocratic front that has been stitched up in advance by that same cult in their time-honoured fashion, the last thing that I'm going to do is join it.
hey, at least we're safe in the knowledge that their "alliance" (cough) will be over in five months time.
if you're going..
Drop down to the central bank at 5pm and participate in or watch the Street theatre. It's a good laugh, honest
