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.

hope all Shell to Sea people are OK after this unjustified attack
Who are these thugs?
Shell's thuggery in Aughoose lies in wait for the rest of Ireland to experience in future days at a struggle near where any citizen lives. The use of mercenaries by Shell in Mayo and MTL in Dublin (not to mention Irish Ferries almost 3 years ago) is a growing trend, and we are being sleepwalked into a corporate police state by a self-interested cabal of media, politics, business and security figures. Our only defences are vulnerable communities like that in Aughoose, and those who stand with them in solidarity. Thank you all for your bravery and steadfastness, and may your struggle be crowned with victory before long! Solidarity to you all!
I'm going to say something which I feel certain some at Shell to Sea will not like, but could someone please tell me what was precisely the purpose of getting up on top of the diggers and what response did you anticipate? A cup of tea? I think that actively engaging in activities which are bound to create physical reaction is not helpful. Has anyone yet got it together to reorganise the PR structure and strategy of the Shell to Sea campaign, as was at least considered some time back? Where is your PR strategy and your liaison person for the Press?
Dear oh dear Fred. Our liaison officer for The Press? Well we were going to ask Gavin but Sir Tony wouldn't allow us, then we decided we would get Paul to write a Sunday Wurldldd Front Page Exposé on the criminals involved, i.e. IRMS and Shell, fresh off their conviction or payout at least, to the Ogoni people for murdering Sara-Wiwa and being generally bold in Nigeria. But we didn't realise Sir Paul's boss was Sir Tony, who controls 80something% of the Irish print media. I have contacted RTÉ and told them I'm unhappy about their blackout of the story, so far I've several replies saying that "Nationwide may be in a position to do a feature on it". So for the time being it's up to us to continue to climb on diggers.
It's a fair question- did anyone tell any photographers or radio stations or anyone in the media that was going to happen? Not everybody looks at indymedia, and if you're in the media, then as far as the public is concerned the event didn't happen.
Being side about the Indo isn't the end of the story (or it shouldn't be).
Yes, there are constant media releases... media is not interested
Yes, we send out press releases every time something significant happens... at least as many as we write indymedia articles. Like the previous comment stated, with the exception of a few individuals, big media is not interested.
Fred Johnsons Views are correct in a normal society but the Erris people and indeed the whole of Ireland dont live in a normal society, we live in a totally corrupt country. A retiring judge also with the name Johnson has at last stated that most of the judiciary are corrupt. The Erris people have known this for quite some time. The Gardai are also corrupt as is the media, the council, the IRMS security company and their recruited criminal thugs. most of the state bodies are also corrupt because they are under the controll of the people that created all this corruption in the first place Fianna Fail and our fine upstanding politicians.
The SHell TO SEA campaign have been risking their lives for years hoping that the Irish people would wake up and do something about it but to no avail. So they will just carry on unless the people take up the fight with the true cause of all this nations troubles the corrupt FIANNA FAIL SCUMBAGS.
Keep up the fight folks because you stand for truth and justice, something that Ireland knows very little about.
ALL THE POLITICIANS KNOW ALL ABOUT THE CORRUPTION BUT PRETEND THAT THEY DON'T.
So often I can hear the question - "what reaction do you expect?"
In my opinion the point is that whatever justification there is or is not for occupying diggers (in this case the reason was to stop illegal work, it seems like it is really only way how to go about it in Mayo, a formal complaint to the Gardaí was ignored and members of Gardaí continued to facilite Shell`s work no matter what, and it has been the case for number of years...)
it doesn`t give justification to anyone (in this case member of security) to physicaly assault and endanger life of person who decides to do so.
Private security is employed for purposes of guarding and protecting private property, there are certain very specific rules about what they can and what they can not do.
I`m not an expert on it, but I`m sure that it is not within their rights to kill someone or physicaly attack anyone. The man who attacked campaigner on the arm of the digger is trained in combat, and knew that the pressure point he used can be mortal and was causing excrutiating pain. His aim was not to protect the digger; the campaigner did not have any way of damaging it. Willie Rankin was angry and wanted to harm campaigner and intimidate him. (same campaigner was on the digger for 6 hours days before)
I think it is important to keep reminding ourselves that force, violence and intimidation imposed by the state or a corporation should not be justified by the fact that it is common.
Cheers for the support Old Codger. It never ceases to amaze me day in and day out all these clever boyos who tiurn around and tell us to "use the media", and that climbing on diggers and other forms of MNCD are worthless. To counteract the other point and ram 'our' opinion home again-most of the media re not interested. The editor of Mayo news has now gone to work with Shell as their chief communications adviser or something to that effect. So climb down out of your ivory tower and live in the real world.
THE GARDA Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) will discuss policing issues relating to the Corrib gas project at the Government’s community forum for development in northwest Mayo early next week.
GSOC head of communications and research Kieran FitzGerald will attend the forum, convened at the Corran Buí health centre in Erris by Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs Éamon Ó Cuív and Minister for Energy Eamon Ryan.
Mr FitzGerald has also agreed to attend a People’s Forum in Belmullet at the invitation of Shell to Sea. The GSOC has been handling a number of complaints about policing related to the Corrib gas project in Erris since work resumed on the Corrib gas refinery in October 2006....
