For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

I haven't got a clue. I have no idea who most of them are apart from reading their contributions.
I know that at least one is a pd.
Jasus, I must be the worst contributor, I never even got a mention. Have to take some journy lessons or maybe I should read the Indypendant or the Sun occasionally. I wouldn't wipe me arse with either to tell the truth.
See - I never got a proper schooling me. Turned out bad.
Thats prolly why I'm a "big-bang-ist" and apolitcal. I voted once just to assert my coming of age. F*ck that for a game of cowboys.
Mise - you do a lot of commenting which is just as important imho. But this time round I just went back on the newswire and gathered authors names and links till I got cross-eyed and had to go to bed.
An 'All Power To The Commenteers' Issue will follow in the near future.
Did the above because I love it around here and just love seeing the list of names above as a list. It is my little tribute to the people who really make this site a reality.
All the rest is just (wonderful open source non-profit developed) machinery and a bunch of male nerds moving lines of html around. Male nerds BTW who would welcome any female nerds who want to help with the moving around of html.
it's not that strange that there aren't so many women contributing / editing websites, it's a gender thing women on average don't visit current affairs websites. Women -in general- read books and do graphic design. If you've got something important to say to women, put it in a pulp fiction title and it will be read on the way to and on the way from work within "on average" eight working days. Boys like to read newspapers, and magazines and comment on politics.
That's not say that women who use the internet are in anyway less womanly than women who don't. Tippy toppy scientists have proven that women live longer, and can have babies and multiple orgasms and mostly say (minister) that size doesn't matter. But very few websites are put together by women, perhaps they're not so interested in moving html about.
it's a curious one. That much said, there are exceptions. Barcelona indymedia would be overrun by centralised brain (it sits in a fishtank with tendrils) nationalists if it wasn't for the wonderful grrrrls who keep it half way decent.
Anyway, we are all in this life together, and we all had a mammy. Even if she didn't have a proper soul, she was very special, and probably didn't get to read such good pulp fiction in her day.
& a lot of those "writers" above are the same people pretending to be different. God only knows they probably speak to themselves having full scale arguments whilst they shave in the morning, if they shave at all, some might be... bearded.
great way to hide from the branch - grow a beard.
look at Gerry Adams you wouldn't recognise him if he cut it off for charity would you?
This kind of crony namecheck is just like the Indo. Here we have the "indy"media editors and their mates back-slapping themselves. Why don't you start a social column?
Neon lights, A Nobel Price
The mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your T.V.
I'm the Cult of Personality
I exploit you still you love me
Time to start a new irish indymedia. These guys are old school.
if only so you can troll on it instead of here when you get it sorted.
the list above btw is a straightforward one after the other of the last 50 or so (I didn't count) people to post on the newswire.
'all me mates' would be a different list.
open source software for your project available at the oscailt link below.
and a 'how to get approved' by the global indy borg is here: http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Global/NewImcHowTo
god speed toneore
'go n'eiri an bothair fuait'
1. Use a content management system which supports trackback and pingback -- a way to say "I've commented on my site about this article".
2. Use a content management system which has a good plugin API like NucleusCMS or drupal, so people can add functionaliy more easily and give the core developers a break.
3. Use a content management system which supports moblogging so people can contribute SMS and MMS (images, audio, video clip) updates. Imagine a video clip from the next ploughshares action LIVE on Indymedia! :-D
4. Use a content management system which will allow people who want extra features the choice to login and have "watch lists", chat, etc...
5. Think about where and how often you can have regular meetings *in real space* for editors and supporters. Again, this will take a load of the core group, and be good for everyone involved.
6. Think about finance. Indymedia isn't free, and you've got to offer something if you expect people to put their hand into their pockets...
Now that should be fun. Should be an interesting space where iosaf can blog to his hearts content, and chuckman can leave his words of wisdom. and every other spammer on the planet can treat toneore to their conspiracy theories, rants, etc.
The one thing toneore forgets is that if he sets up an open-publishing site he would have to moderate it. I do not believe he would be capable of handling it.
I have been 'active' on indymedia, whatever that means, for less than a month. But I plan to post something or other every fortnight or so.
One thing which I have done in my small number of contributions is to be consistent with my identity. I have no aliases.
In answer to question the first - I am a "progressive/socialist" in my own estimation, for what it's worth.
As regards some of the other comments, I feel that THIS indymedia is running smoothly. The key is to bring it to people, or to bring people to it.
Epigrammatically yours....
