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.

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1I have seen you and the other protesters while I have been driving past the barracks. I find it offensive that you are protesting there instead of protesting outside of pariment house and other (liberal)government offices. Our troops are doing their job. I 100% disagree with our troops being sent to Iraq (and I did not vote for John Howard and have never agreed with the decision) but now that they are there I support them 100% and hope they all come back safely. Our army is a credit to Australia and without them alot of good work such as Timor, helping in natural disasters etc is usually forgotten. Don't blame the army, blame the government and protest outside their offices, not the barracks.

Former Abu Ghraib interrogator Joshua Casteel was one of the Catholic Workers
found guilty of occupying a congressman's office protesting the war on Iraq
CEDAR RAPIDS - Eleven peace activists who claimed they were justified
in staying in the federal courthouse after hours because they wanted
to end the war in Iraq were found guilty of trespass by a Linn County
judge.
"While wanting to end the further loss of lives is a goal of the
utmost importance, the
Court does not find that this goal amounts to justification for the
Defendants' actions given the completely speculative nature of the
outcome in this case," Magistrate Judge Jill Ableidinger said in a
written order issued Monday afternoon.
She tried all 11 together on April 25, each on a single simple
misdemeanor trespass charge.
Ableidinger said the defendants didn't know if Grassley would speak to
them, secondly had no way of knowing that a conversation would cause
him to act and lastly that if the Senator did what effect, if any, the
action would have on saving lives.
Frank Cordaro of Des Moines, a former Catholic priest and seasoned
activist, expressed disappointment in the judge's decision.
"A few brave judges need to side with the peacemakers and raise the
larger issues of international law and the criminality of war making
with the (Bush) Administration," Cordaro said.
It's been his experience that the judicial branch of the U.S.
government sides with the executive branch in war making, Cordaro
said. His first arrest dates back to a 1977 protest at the Pentagon.
"At the moment, our judicial system is not independent enough to act
freely on its Constitutional obligation to uphold international
treaties that are at odds with our national security state and the
current war in Iraq," Cordaro said.
About two dozen protesters waited outside the office of Sen. Chuck
Grassley, which is on the second floor of the federal courthouse in
Cedar Rapids, on Feb. 26 hoping to talk to the Senator by phone to
convince him to push for an end to the war.
They were participating the Occupation Project, part of the Voices for
Creative Non-Violence campaign, which is an effort to stop the war in
Iraq.
Grassley was on a plane to Washington, D.C. The war protesters waited,
hoping to speak with him by phone. They were repeatedly asked to
leave. An hour and a half after the courthouse closed to the public,
Cedar Rapids police were called in to arrest the 11 who remained in
the hallway.
Ableidinger said they could have attempted to contact the Senator
earlier, or waited until the next day.
"They also had the opportunity to continue their presentation efforts
on this day, just outside the federal courthouse itself," Ableidinger
wrote.
Sentencing is set for July 6 in Linn County District Associate Court.
They face up to 30 days in jail and/or a fine.
"It's definitely caused me to be more aware of Congressional issues
and how our Senators and Representatives try to represent us," said
Andrew Alemeo, 19, of Cedar Falls, after the April 25 trial.
Dealing with the initial 21 hours in jail, or a possible jail
sentence, is nothing compared to people suffering in Iraq, Alemeo
said.
"Our sacrifice is nearly insignificant in comparison,'' Alemeo said.
In addition to Cordaro and Alemeo, those convicted include: Joshua
Casteel, 27, of Cedar
Rapids; Megan R. Felt, 20, of Iowa City; Timothy L. Gauger, 36, of
Eugene, Ore.; David A. Goodner, 26, of Iowa City; John P. Hornbeck,
25, of Iowa City; Ryan D. Merz, 20, of Maple Plain, Minn.; Conor A.
Murphy, 29, of Madison, Wis.; Rosemary M. Persaud, 47, of Iowa City;
and Justin N. Riley, 19, of Crystal, Minn.

BRISBANE SOLDIERS BOUND FOR IRAQ
More than 40 infantry, cavalry and military police soldiers will deploy on Operation Catalyst on Saturday March 5 as rotation replacements for soldiers already serving in Iraq on Security Detachment duties in Baghdad, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Defence, Teresa Gambaro said.
The soldiers are from the 6th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (6 RAR), the 2nd Cavalry Regiment (2 CAV REGT), 2/14th Light Horse Regiment Queensland Mounted Infantry (2/14 LH QMI) and the 1st Military Police Battalion from Sydney.
Ms Gambaro was joined by Major General Mark Kelly, Commander of the 1st Division as well as family and friends to officially farewell the soldiers at a ceremony at Enoggera Barracks in Brisbane.
Ms Gambaro said they would join more than 100 soldiers of the Security Detachment 6 who deployed from Brisbane on December 29 and replace soldiers from the Darwin-based 5th/7th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment.
"These soldiers are departing on a six-month deployment with the Baghdad Security Detachment and I am very proud to be here to officially farewell them on behalf of the Australian Government," Ms Gambaro said.
"The members of the Security Detachment who have returned home and those who departed in December have done an outstanding job in providing protection and support to the Australian Embassy in Baghdad.
"I am sure this deployment will continue the role in the same professional, courageous and dedicated way that have been instrumental to the success of the Australian mission to Iraq," Ms Gambaro said.
"Our Australian personnel have earned the respect and admiration of our coalition allies and have established a strong bond with the people of Iraq.
"All Australians should be proud of the work being undertaken by Australian troops in support of the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Iraq."
Ms Gambaro said the high standard of their training, preparation and equipment was a credit to the entire Defence organisation. The professionalism of the Australian soldiers has enabled them to deal with difficult and dangerous situations whilst rising to meet any challenge.
Operation Catalyst is Australia’s Defence contribution to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Iraq. Operation Catalyst commenced on 16 July 2003 to follow-on from Operation Falconer.
