Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6will this event not clash with the official state sponsored version ? Are you people sure its wise to get up the noses of Bertie and Mickey on their big day ?
Fair play !!!
Oh yes, everyone thinks they can play the "reclaim game". It seems so easy. One little detail which everyone ought note for remembering the 1916 rising, eirigh as amach thing, is that, Easter is a moveable holiday. Has been since the first Christian councils split over how to relate it to Passover. So, many silly people (lets say americans) will expect their 1916 comemoration on Easter egg Sunday. But of course the actual date of the insurrection was - April 24th.
The last meetings of the military council and the parallel and mysterious irish republican brotherhood of course taking place on the 23rd day of the 4th month.
This year Easter falls on April 16th for western christians and April 23rd for orthodox eastern christians. So you could do a greek orthodox easter bunny sentimental communality thing and more *accurate*.
The last official commemoration saw De Valera cruise around in the then state rolls royce in 1966 on April 10th and repeat almost to the letter his equally fetishised peformance of 1935 which had been on April 21st
can you see where I'm going with this?
quite. its all bollox. fking with your memory. I recommend reading this article by Colin Murphy
http://www.villagemagazine.ie/article.asp?sid=1&sud=10&...=1280
Looks like these are going to be the only non state people going to the the GPO tomorrow . Ill join yis for want of a better alternative . Its a better alternative to the state run travesty anyway .
for the kids and their shoes.
If you go -
* turn your back
* whistle "bella ciao" or the internationale you may even sing the "internationale as gaeilge
Músgluighidh, a bhrothuine na cruinne!
a dhíoghadh an ocrais, aire dhaoibh!
Tá an tuigsint ina buabhall buile
Saghdabh an duine chun malrait saoghail.
De shaen-ré na ngeasróg déanam casair,
Al na laincise, músgluighidh
Sinne nach faic muid, gheobhamuid gradam
An sean-reacht leagfar bus os cionn.
Sí'n troid scuir í, a bhráithre,
Éirighmis chun gnímh
An t-Internationale
Snaoidhm-comhair an cine daonn,
Sí'n troid scuir í, a bhráithre,
Éirighimis chun gnímh
An t-Internationale
A bhéas mar chine daonn.

or just sing one of the many versions of "bella" or be really provactive and sing the sash.
* take your shoes off and wave them at Bertie.
* loot some shoes.
Only the last of these suggestions may get you into trouble with the Gardaí, for the other provocations you will probably only get your name taken by some provincial cop. we're not interested in who killed jesus, you can go home now
reclaim 1913 & 1916 & the spirit of revolution which gave kids looted shoes
The internationale isnt a bad idea for Bertie , McDowell and the shinners sterilised farce . And thanks for the words in Irish .
Showing a person the soles of ones shoes is also a distinctly muslim insult . Good idea again .
But going to the 32s alternative would really sicken them all .
tolerant diversity is one of the flaws of liberal democracy, the farcical notion that given time, a bit of prosperity and enough shared laughs and kicks from Hollywood movies, we may all move to the same anodyne ango-saxon US cultural antipathy to the past, present and future.
They won't give a damn how many go to your gig as long as there is no looting of shoes or abundance of celtic football club t-shirts. Its what the transition to "democracy" in Spain was all about, they put it this way :- café con leche para todos (milky coffee for everyone), thus a regime which was passed on from Franco, the coup d'etat usurper 70 years ago of the republic founded 75 years ago, which never counted on the support of the PSOE (party of Zapatero) for its stabilisation; to the Bourbon king, presented such "tolerant diversity" to hide the past.
its ok now, it doesn't matter what happened, you can vote, and even if the PSOE of the 1970's opposed the legalisation of the communist party, you can vote for anyone you like, except of course the basque seperatists, but sure they still get TV time...
That is how the mafia works.
That is how and why you and all your neighbours now have shoes, the noble are in quicklime yet honoured by military displays by numerous forces and militias without any real military power, and why at end -
you need to go to the state event and tell them to "fuck off" in anyway you can, in anyway your imagination allows you to. .
One person alone with thought, creativity & determined use of recognised symbols pushing prejudice can disrupt a city' or region's "traditional" & "official" fetishised remembrance...
= stand up, walk forward & be counted. :-)
those men died & our forebears threw dung at them, but the kids had shoes nonetheless....
