Up to half of excess deaths in American nursing homes were due to the impact of lockdowns and mitigation measures on frail residents rather than the virus, according to new analysis.

Woke Activists Need to Read Their David Hume Fri Apr 19, 2024 11:16 | Dr James Allan
The great Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume would have some things to teach today's woke activists, says Prof James Allan: about a mind-independent reality that has no truck with claims of 'my truth'.

Farmers? Biggest Problems are Green Ideologues, not Climate Change Fri Apr 19, 2024 09:00 | Ben Pile
It's been a wet winter and this is bad news for farmers, says Ben Pile. But with agricultural yields increasing sharply over recent decades, there's no reason to link it to climate change or start catostrophising about it.

How Many Billions of People Would Die Under Net Zero? Fri Apr 19, 2024 07:00 | Chris Morrison
Chris Packham has hit back at claims made on GB News that half the world's population could die under Net Zero. But that seems like a fair estimate of the catastrophic harm of deindustrialisation, says Chris Morrison.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12As of 09.30, protestors continue to block construction traffic heading for the terminal. Sgt O'Reilly appears to have kept his cool this morning, urging other cops to take it easy.
Meanwhile at Cork airport, members of Shell to Sea have been blockading the entrance to the Shell depot since the early hours. The guards and their cousins the airport police have turned back several tankers bearing the Shell logo. More details to follow.
Shell is not paying any tax in this country, so why did the government give them 170 cops for a month, when other parts of the country are almost lawless? Serious criminals running amok in our cities, while eco-terrorist corporations are treated like monarchs in Erris.
Sorry, the question is not WHY the government did it, we know why, but how can we let them get away with it.
Fair dues to ye in Cork - ye never lost it!!

Another excellent little video from the Revolt Video team!
great stuff.
Some suggestions...
1) put it on YouTube (oops! already did that I see) and also suggest that people use VLC for their video player for downloaded material ( http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ )
2) Obviously there is a script that is being read, transcribe the short speeches in the video as well and upload the text at http://translations.indymedia.org and ask for translations. There is software available for Mac and I'm sure PC that makes it somewhat easy to do subtitling.
Spread the campaign out beyond Ireland by using subtitles on the video.
3) BitTorrent it as well, use the best activist & documentary oriented torrent trackers at:
http://www.sonofshun.com
http://www.mvgroup.org
http://conspiracycentral.net
http://www.media-underground.net
http://www.chomskytorrents.org
and
http://www.chomskytorrents.org
[ is it not strange that http://video.indymedia.org does not offer torrents of videos while radio.indymedia.org does?! ]
4) every time you upload one of these things, provide a link to the previous video you did.
5) Create a announcement only mailing list to announce each new video and direct the recipients back to indymedia.ie to add comments and thoughts.
Again, congrats to all involved in making this video.
ex-pioneer and i will be having a party this Saturday in Budapest and perhaps we will stop things for a few minutes and show this video and try to explain the Rossport/Shell story. One reason this video works well, imo, is that it is a good intro to the subject. I'll also burn a bunch of CDs with this video to hand out to people on this side of EUroLand.
thx again
more screenshots needed, too :-)
Revolt Video footage from todays action at $hell HQ will also be screened tonite
Good to finally see the reality of what's happening up there. God knows it isn't being broadcast on TV. Here's a link to our video with the background of the case:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLpDmh4BU8w
good video - and seeing as how its up on global indy vid site, having the voiceover at the start introducing the issue and giving it a bit of background is excellent. BUT - whats with the music all the way through it? fair enough at the start to give it a bit of an 'oirish' feel, but when the footage from the garda removing the protesters comes in, there's a load of horrible wailing by the vocalist... it would have been better to hear the people's voices and the reactions to being forcibly removed from the road. i'm not saying revolt should be trying to be like the RTE news but not every report/piece has to view like a sub punk trad music video either. the footage and the protests themselves are atmospheric enough, you dont hear music in the background in real life when all this is happening!!
(vow of chastity fule #2, fyi)
The vid that is up is a rough edit a longer version up soon,As our gear is not the best sound is an issue.Please if anyone would like to donate better gear please do !
Also the footage was shot at very low light and had to be enhanced hence quality.
Thanks for the feedback.
Have to admit we like that song ,thanks to Lynched for soundtrack.
Would you people ever go home and let the workers do their job, It any of you ever had a job you might appreciate this. Instead of getting a job you are quite happy to sponge off the state!
Considering all the opposition you people have to our State and its authorities how come we don’t hear any of you refusing to except your dole payments from the State
Most people at the protest disperse between 9 and 10am to go to their places of work. The remainder consists of shift workers, farmers, home-workers and self employed people etc who happen to have some free time to defend their community agaist Shell and their state thugs.
Please keep your lazy pig-ignorant comments to yourself in future or even better, get some education and learn to differenciate between fact and fiction!!!
