The Case Against Vaccinating Children Against Covid Thu Jun 30, 2022 19:12 | Will Jones
As the push to vaccinate children continues, with the US now even vaccinating infants as young as six months, new studies show why this is both unnecessary and risky, and why children have very little to fear from Covid.

Children Need to be Taught to See Through The Lies Thu Jun 30, 2022 13:14 | Mark Shaw
How can we be protected from the sort of fraud we have endured over the last few years? How can we improve risk evaluation and keep our guard? It should start at school, with children taught to think for themselves.

South Korea, Poster Child for Containment Strategy, Now Has Same Excess Mortality as Sweden Thu Jun 30, 2022 08:02 | Noah Carl
South Korea was the poster child for the 'contain and vaccinate' strategy. However, it now has the same excess mortality as Sweden, and almost all South Korea's deaths occurred after the vaccine rollout.

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1Regarding the situation in Ireland in relation to the proposals to cut fees, the student resistance to it, the solidarity and resistance from all sections of Irish society against these cuts and the wider economic- political crisis that we are in and what we can do about it...
What with the goings on in Greece, it seems that the "economic crisis" is being met and resisted head on by students, workers, young people. People are fed up there, and are taking action to change things. Not only is anger and action for change brewing fiercely on Greek streets, its spreading. Here in Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain, there has been series of solidarity actions with Greece, but before the Greek riots, there were already many many universitys occupied due to resistance against the "Bolonia plan". Otherside of the water and in news today there is talk about the NEW SCHOOL university in NYC, new york city, which has been occupied, as both reaction against negative elements in the university aswell as, or maybe further fuelled by?, acts of solidarity with Greece and beyond. This occupation was reported on yesterdays Democracy Now headlines

Greece on Fire: "Moments of a great social revolution"
Many, if not all, Greek universitys are "no go zones" for cops, many are being used for spaces to organise out of, many have been taken over and occupied, some are used for battle stations to fight from, some have been burnt down. Much is the same with schools, as Alexis was 15 year old school boy.

Spanish occupation of universities
Last weekend Spanish students met in Valencia, to further organise and plan their strategy of resistance. It is quite amazing to walk through the UB, the main university building of Barcelona, it is a lovely grand old building on the edge of the old town, its adjacent square is where tommorrows greek solidarity demo will start. Every day there are workshops, films, discussions, communal eating, cafe, living zones, they are resisting and building.
http://www.tancadaalacentral.blogspot.com/ is there website, all other uni buildings that are occupied have their own site, they are very well organised. Barcelona has a v strong tradition on horizontal organisation, see photos accompanying of long list of occupied unis, well over half are Catalan.
Many of the faculties are on upper Diagonal, yesterday a few hundred of them blocked Diagonal, One of Europes biggest streets / motorways, 8 car lanes, riot cops were sent into sort them out,

Irelands fight
It seems Irelands students are standing up to these cuts which are being proposed, it seems they have much support from the wider community. This is first steps. What are the causes of the "economic crisis", why do we let it remain, what can we do?
Perhaps our Irish students might start to look more at whats going on outside of the island, in response to the questions raised by Paula, in terms of "how do we resist", as well as look deeper into the root causes and from that take necessary action for change...
Its in their hands, but like Greece, if they take the lead, many unhappy with the present state of affairs will roll in behind.

Don't make the children pay....
Most people had left before the pale, male and stale were even half way through- not having family friendly protest closing policies. The organisers just couldn't relate to who had participated and present a strategy to roll back the cuts.
