The Push for Global Censorship in Australia Fri Apr 26, 2024 11:17 | Rebekah Barnett
Should governments be able to censor online content for the entire world? That's what Australia is claiming the right to do. But do they really think China and Russia should be able to choose what the world sees?

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Good work done there! A direct & friendly action to inform Shannon's travellers of ' what's the deal we're dealin' in'.
action! Bridget would have been proud. Great way of getting the message to travellers.
Well done.
Please return for a vigil on Sunday 17th of February 5pm to 6pm.
well done to those involved, really great idea and i'd imagine alot more effective than many other forms of protest,
just wish they hadn't called her st. brigid, she's just brigid...see related link
"The file is to be regarded as in the earliest times as combining in his person the functions of magician, lawgiver, judge, counsellor to the chief, and poet. Later, but still at a very early time, the offices seem to have been divided, the brehons devoting themselves to the study of law, and the giving of legal decisions, the druids arrogating to themselves the supernatural functions, with the addition, possibly of some priestly offices, and the filí themselves being henceforth principally as poets and philosophers. The division seems to have already existed in Ireland at the time of St Patrick, whose preaching brought him into constant opposition with the druids, who were evidently, at that time, regarded as the religious leaders of the nation, though there does not seem to be much sign that they were, as they undoubtedly were, even at an earlier age in Britain and Gaul, sacrificing priests."
"Quod scripsi scripsi," growled the poet Skelton, sending his rhyme-doggerel to those who might best receive its meaning. "Have enough and cry ho!" bawled Wat Tyler to the revolting peasants, and they knew what he intended. "The French are on the sea," cried the Shan Van Vocht, spying strange sails off the coast of Mayo. Could you read S. Heaney or the deep Muldoon in an airport lounge to coffee-drinkers full of anxiety as to their journey, and expect them to instantly grasp your point? Don't be a crop-headed begrudger, forget about the irrelevancies of hair, think of where the verses were used and ask yourself this question: "Can I do likewise?" If not, with a blush retire.
on a very creative action:))
A small group of people each week doing small acts of resistance like this would keep the airport police on their toes and remind people that there is no mandate amongst the Irish public for the US war in Iraq.
Next Saturday I will give a presentation on disarmament/ploughshares actions at Shannon in Berlin at an anti-militarist conference organised by supporters of Militant Group who set ablaze German military trucks, were initially charged with terrorism but charges then dropped to arson. They still face a lot of time in jail if they go down.

We hope to challenge Polish arms trade profiteers in Warsaw on March 15th and 2 weeks later (March 29th) will stage the first protest at the proposed site for the US missile defence shield. The US military is a mutant octopus with its tentacles spread wide and afar.
Solidarity protests declared so far at Polish embassy in Prague, Czech Republic and Fylingdales, Britain. If anybody can hold a short demo. at Polish/U.S. embassy in Dublin that would be great. Let me know here if you are interested and we can correspond
