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.

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.

More info on Dublin vigil Ph. 087 918 4552 From January 11th. friends will be gathering in Washington D.C. for 100 days
of public witness, education and nonviolent direct action to Shut Down Guantanamo!
Check this link out for background, resources and ideas to Shut Down Guantanamo!
http://www.100dayscampaign.org/
Many activities by peace, social justice and human rights groups are being planned for the first 100 days of the new administration. The 100 Days Campaign to Close Guantánamo and End Torture hopes to collaborate with those are undertaking similar campaigns or events of their own.
We will begin with a Prisoner Procession and nine-day fast on January 11, 2009, which marks seven years since the opening of the prison at Guantánamo. And then, from January 20 with the inauguration of the next President through April 30, we will maintain a regular schedule of activities. At the end of the 100 days, we hope to celebrate both the closure of the detention facility at Guantánamo and the adoption of policies and laws that decisively ban torture by the U.S. government.
The prison at Guantánamo has been at the center of the shameful incarceration policies of the Bush administration. Those policies have denied detainees fundamental legal rights and subjected them to systematic torture at Guantánamo, Abu Ghraib, Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, and elsewhere. Such practices violate the U.S. Constitution, the Geneva Conventions, and basic human rights. They have been a source of domestic and international outrage, denigrating America's character, weakening its standing in the world, and threatening - not enhancing - its security.
The Bush administration has tenaciously defended its detention regime, twice defying landmark rulings by the Supreme Court and relying on secrecy, cover-ups, propaganda, outright lies, and corrupt legal arguments to conceal or to justify its methods. A Republican Congress acted to further deprive detainees of rights and permit the CIA to "lawfully" torture.
We say: no more. The 100 Days Campaign therefore demands that the new President, working, when appropriate, in conjunction with Congress and the courts:
-Close the detention facilities at Guantánamo
-Permit, without political interference, the hearing of habeas petitions by current Guantánamo detainees
-Charge those against whom there is sufficient, credible evidence with a crime, and let the others go free, repatriating them to their country of origin or to countries where their safety from persecution can be guaranteed
-Scrap the current Military Commissions process for prosecution of Guantánamo inmates and move those accused of crimes into the federal justice system
-Ban all forms of psychological torture and do away with the exemption for the CIA's enhanced interrogation program from laws barring the cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of detainees
-End legal immunity for alleged U.S. torturers
-Close other U.S. detention centers worldwide that do not comply with international human rights standards, such as those at the U.S. Air Base at Bagram and at any remaining CIA black sites
Allow and abide by meaningful international inspection and oversight of U.S. detention facilities
-Call for a rigorous inquiry, with subpoena powers, to determine the precise origins and evolution of the Bush administrations detention policies and hold architects of this system accountable
-The campaign calls on all citizens — from jurists to journalists, military personnel to medical professionals, activists to artists to defend the rule of law and human rights by supporting us in these demands.

100-day campaign will remind Obama of pledge to close Guantanamo
By Dennis Sadowski
Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON – Closure of the military prison at the U.S. Army base at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will be getting renewed attention during a
100-day campaign designed to hold President-elect Barack Obama to his
campaign pledge to close the compound.
On Jan. 11, the seventh anniversary of its opening, organizers of the
100 Days Campaign will begin a series of events including public
witness, street theater, processions, lectures, prayer and fasting to
call attention to Obama's promise that he would close the
controversial prison. A Department of Defense spokesman said 250
detainees remain behind bars there.
"We want to support Obama in following through on his commitment,"
campaign organizer Frida Berrigan told Catholic News Service. "We
think he wants to do the right thing. He's going to need our support
and we want to keep it visible so it's not forgotten."

ANTI-TORTURE ACTIVISTS TO FAST AND RALLY SUNDAY
TO CALL ON OBAMA TO CLOSE GUANTANAMO
AND BAN TORTURE IMMEDIATELY
WASHINGTON — On Sunday, January 11 — the seven-year anniversary of the
opening of the prison at Guantanamo — more than 200 human rights
advocates will join 60 people who are beginning a nine-day fast to
encourage President-Elect Barack Obama to keep his promise to shut
down Guantanamo and end torture in his first days of office.
At DuPont Circle Park at 12:45 pm, human rights organizations,
including Amnesty International, The Center for Constitutional Rights,
and September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, will call for
an end to the Bush policies, justice for the detainees, and
accountability for possible U.S. crimes. 150 demonstrators wearing
orange jumpsuits and hoods will have a prisoner procession to
dramatize the plight of the detainees still at Guantanamo.
"I am fasting," says Malachy Kilbride of the Washington Peace Center,
"to symbolically join the prisoners, who are starved for justice."
"Obama's statements," explains Matthew Daloisio of Witness Against
Torture, "bring hope that Guantanamo will close. But parts of the
military and the Congress are already working to prevent Obama's
plans."
"We need justice, not more politics of fear," adds Valerie
Lucznikowska of September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows.
"This is the promise Obama represents, and we will hold his
administration to it."
The fast will be broken on January 20, when anti-torture activists
will join the inauguration-day crowd. The event is part of Witness
Against Torture's 100 Days Campaign to Close Guantanamo and End
Torture. Participants include The National Religious Campaign Against
Torture, the Torture Abolition Survivors Support Coalition, and the
American Friends Service Committee.

Military force-feeding 10 percent of Guantanamo detainees
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Military_forcefeeding_10_....html
Ten percent of captives at the US Guantanamo Bay prison -- many of whom have never been charged of a crime -- are having their heads velcroed to chairs and forced to take in nutritional supplements by a tube forcibly inserted through their noses by US guards.
Twenty-five captives who've starved themselves for weeks are being fed through tubes in their noses, the US military admitted Thursday. Thirty detainees are currently on a hunger strike.
A lawyer for 17 Yemeni men told a Miami Herald reporter Thursday that the hunger strike was partly in response to the US decision to release Osama Bin Laden's driver Salim Hamdan in November. Hamdan was charged with supporting terrorism and was held just shy of his 66-month sentence; many of those on the hunger strike have never been charged with a crime.
''They've actually gone ballistic at the fact that Hamdan, who was convicted of supporting terrorism, was released and they, who have been charged with nothing, continue to languish there,'' Washington lawyer David Remes told Herald reporter Carol Rosenberg.
The Pentagon considers hunger strikers as detainees who've refused nine meals in a row. Detainees are force fed after fasting for 21 days or weight less than 85 percent of their weight upon arrival at the camp.
"The forced-feeding regime has guards and medical staff strap a captive into a chair, Velcro his head to a metal restraint, then tether a tube into the man's stomach through his nose to pump in liquid nourishment twice a day," Rosenberg writes.
"A military commission this summer convicted Hamdan, 40, of supporting terror for working as bin Laden's $200-a-month driver in Afghanistan until his capture in November 2001," she added.
