Despite three record years of coral growth, the mainstream media keeps pushing doom and gloom on the Great Barrier Reef ? a story that doesn't quite add up, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.

Britain's migrant crimewave is only invisible to those living in leafy delusion ? just ask Steven Tucker, who rips into the blind elites mistaking burning mattresses for cultural enrichment.

Dublin - Event Notice

- The Rescue -

category dublin | anti-war / imperialism | event notice author Tuesday April 21, 2009 08:00author by Roberto Barbagallo - Invisible Childrenauthor email psytek at gmail dot com Report this post to the editors

--- Merrion Square --- All Night Event --- People, Voices and Volunteers Needed.

The Rescue will be a rally held in 100 cities around the world on the 25th of April to attract media and political attention to this issue and pressure the government to commit support to the protection of civilians in war-affected zones and see the arrest of Joseph Kony. Hundreds of people, young and old, will symbolically abduct themselves and sleep outside in solidarity with the child soldiers until a figure of cultural or political influence arrives to rescue us and make a public statement showing support for our cause.

Invisible Children is a global social and political movement that seeks to create awareness about the war in central east Africa through the creative use of media. The Lord’s Resistance Army, a rebel army led by Joseph Kony, has been waging a war for over 23 years, affecting thousands of civilians in Uganda, Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Congo. Children are the most affected - the LRA has been, for many years, abducting children from their homes to become child soldiers.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants on 8 July and 27 September 2005 against Joseph Kony. Kony and four other LRA leaders were the first to be charged by the ICC with crimes against humanity and war crimes, including murder, rape, sexual slavery, and enlisting of children as combatants.

To this date no arrest has to be made since Uganda must enforce the arrest warrant and have failed to do so as of yet.

International interest has never been meaningful as there is no political or economic benefit in getting involved in the situation.

How you can help?

Most importantly,

Just show up, be part of the event, spend a night/kidnap yourself in solidarity for the child soldiers in Uganda.

It will start from St Patricks Cathedral at 3pm
. From there the group will march to Merrion Square where they will "abduct themselves" in the park for the night until they are "freed" through media awareness or intervention by a figure of cultural or political influence. It may take a few hours, it may take all night.... either way.... the statement will be made.

We hope that there will be entertainment throughout the event with local musicians and artists joining in to create awareness of the cause. Also we will be urging all participants to create some form of document, be it a letter/picture/painting or however you wish to express yourself and your opinions about the situation in Uganda, and it will be passed to local Government officials who can then create some political action on the situation. Simply the more people that talk about the situation the better.

Do you know somebody involved with medias?
