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.

Report on Arms Industry's Funding of University Research Published

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Tuesday December 04, 2007 10:00author by tomeile Report this post to the editors

Today, two campaign groups are publishing their groundbreaking research on the extent of military involvement in British universities . Seventy per cent of the projects investigated were sponsored by three industry leaders: BAE Systems, RollsRoyce and the controversially privatised research group QinetiQ.
The report, Study War No More, has been produced by Campaign Against Arms Trade and the UK branch of the Fellowship for Reconciliation, a long-established interfaith peace group with headquarters in New York state.

Indeed, even Irish universitys collaborate with Rolls Royce. Take DCU for example (tomeiles University): DCUs Centre for the Advancement of Science Teaching and Learning encourage students to apply for the Rolls Royce Science Prize. I hope tomeile will campaign in DCU for its links with Rolls Royce to be severed.

CASTeL has strong collaborative links with the following:

Physics Education Group, University of Washington, Seattle, USA . No links is provided here. I wonder why? Maybe it has something to do with its military links. This wonderful college offers RESIDENT TUITION FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL:

Military Funding for University Research

In fiscal year (FY) 2002, the University of Washington was awarded $45,788,541 from the Department of Defense or 6% of the UW's total grants and awards.

Plenty of work for tomeile to do at DCU.

This is an issue that should not be treated with cynicism by people claiming to be anti-war . It's very important that arms industry funding for all universities should be investigated and an issue that the IAWM , AWI and PANA need to address seriously . Stopping the drive to a war that could turn nuclear and threaten the existence of humanity does not mean seeking out a pure university department . But it does mean that when corporations like BAE are funding a university department to research and develop aircraft, robotics and control systems , and when a member of the academic staff of such a university department turns out to be the leader of an anti-war group, people are entitled to ask what’s going on.

You made false allegations against an anti war activist. Even when they were shown to be false you continued to post lies about her. You spammed Indymedia with these false allegations and this resulted in your ip address being blocked, it just turned out that it was DCUs ip address.

There are very few Universities which dont have some contact with firms that have military contracts. It has now been shown to you that DCU has such contacts. Rather than continuing to smear genuine anti war activists I hope that you will now put your energies into something closer to home.

You are in DCU, so now lets see you do something about the DCU links with Rolls Royce and US Universities which have very strong links with the US Military. The University of Washington doesnt just carry out Military Research; it teachs members of the US Military!

Prove to us that Tomeiles ip address is DCU and that it was blocked.

Otherwise your words mean nothing and can be considered lies.

Tomeile admitted as much on a previous thread. DCU was temporarily blocked because of his trolling.

The point here is that there are very few universities which have no contacts with the "Defence Industry". tomeile is rarely seen to play a positive role on Indymedia, instead he concentrates on attacking and smearing other anti war activists. Doesnt it make you wonder what his real agenda is? He now has a chance to prove himself by campaigning against DCUs links with the "Defence Industry".

Morrigu
I have not been smearing anybody ,only pointing out that the leader of Hopi ,Yasamine Mather , was listed as a member of the academically related staff at Glasgow University’s Aerospace Engineering department and that that department is completely bound up with BAE .

Below is a list of the academically related staff taken from the Aerospace Dept. website last week . Check the site today and you’ll see that Y. Mather’s name has been removed.

Academic Related Staff
Mr R.Gilmour
Mrs. Y. Mather
Mr. K. Stevenson
Mrs C. Coton
http://www.gla.ac.uk/departments/aerospace/

Anne McShane ,HopiEire’s spokesperson , has written elsewhere on indymedia that Ms Mather’s only area of interest at Glasgow University, apart from working on a Marxist periodical there, is in its Centre for Systems and Control. Mc Shane assured us that the centre had no connection to the arms industry ,but a simple check on its website shows that it has industrial links to the following companies:
British Aerospace ,BICC ,Daimler-Benz (Berlin ) ,Eurotherm Controls International Atomic Energy Agency, Westland Helicopters

You are continuing your smear campaign. It was pointed out to you that Ms Mather only worked with one engineering group and that engineering group was headed by a CND activist and it had no links with any arms industry research.

Not suprisingly, others at the University have links with BAE. Just as some at DCU have links with the arms industry and even with US Military contracts. It would be wrong to claim that whole departments of DCU were compromised by this just as it wrong to claim that whole departments of Glasgow University are compromised.

Now it has been shown that there are problem areas in your own backyard dont you think you should concentrate on causing problems for those at DCU who have links with the US Military? You would spend your time more fruiitfully doing this rather than carrying on a stalking campaign against genuine anti war activists.
