Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Irish Times article on the ancient tree that was felled by lightning:
I dont think the desecration of tara created our economic problems.More the lack of any values, other than those of self-enrichment in blinkered moneterist terms, led to our devaluation of nature and all other systems.
I foresaw the trajectory(though I had no way to project the time-scale)from the time the PDs launched their Thatcherite/Reaganite free marketeering stealth coup way back when, as did plenty more. We were muffled and sidelined(par for the course).
It did not take any occult clairvoyance to see where things were headed if you accepted 'there is no such thing as society' and 'greed is good'.
I am as disgusted as the next with the desecration of the landscape and historical sites, but I think you may have to sharpen your analytical assessment if we are ever going to get a halter on the idiots responsible for our plight.
The same values have been degrading our natural surroundings since at least the times when the neighbours decided to drop over and strip our forests for the building of a pirate fleet to 'rule the waves'.
The mad bit is that the Brits actually valued this archaeological heritage(at least towards the end of their extended visit)more than the quislings we are currently run by.
we aint gettin outa this mess by invoking spells and spirits. Its gonna take a little more application than that.
But good luck and best wishes with your resistance. Just start boxing a little more scientifically. You might even find your audience expanding.
It seems to me that cultural genocide will always bring about a severe backlash among those who survive it, and that it will take on every form and shape available to it.
And so it should (I believe); this is as natural as the flowers that appear in Springtime.
My hope now is that some of the backlash will translate into general election results which will teach the greed-ridden, power-mad, arrogant, and ignorant traitors responsible, that there are significant "pay later" type costs involved for those who ride roughshod over core aspects of our culture, and its unusually long history.

Some gas comments on this thread. Have to say, I do give credence to this curse stuff, goodbye FF anyway :)
She was brobably a witch 5 thousand years or so ago.
An ancient version of Mary Harney perhaps?
this fragile bone structure would have collapsed under the huge gravitational strain.
Anyway, Mary Harmey is not a witch. Just a sociopath / psychopath who is incapable of empathising with other people's suffering. Only interested in her own self serving agenda. Politics and executive positions in corporate environments are often liberally populated by such people. In their professions and our current social structures, such characteristics are often advantageous.
"This fragile bone structure would have collapsed under the huge gravitational strain. "
That's Mary Harney to a Tee.
Carmel - interesting perspective. Somehow I pay heed to what you say. There was folklore about Soldier Hill which in the decades of the car saw many accidents. There is a generation out there who still can share this lore.
William. Glad to see you back writing on Indymedia and the words invocation come to mind and say the time has come for the people to finally usurp these false gods and polliticians from their despotic greedy ways and means.
A visit to the bookshop today in Dawson Streen and to my horror I find the number one seller is Fitzpatrick tapes book....where do the profits go - o sorry maybe the legislation is that the writers have tax breaks.
Todays Indo has a good article. I would ask one question: I00 billion (not million) was the balance sheet deposits in 2008......where did this money go to. This is about Follow the Money. An example is track Anglo Irish branches to the Caymans, the Isle of Man, to Lichtenstein, to even Austria, Switzerland and the US. This was about Globalism. Then consider Drumm (Banker) and Dunne (Developer) and their strategic shift geographically to residence in the US and ask How? We know why?
Obama introduced legislation in the US to attract these cash rich entreprenneurs while he failed to tackle the Irish emigrants from the 1980's who did not get visas and are still part of a hidden people in US society.
Has Mr. Rooney US Ambassador a view on this?

nice new road-map for that particular quest just hit the market. Try www.treasureislands.org for details. Book by Nicholas Shaxson, ex FT and Economist Magazine.
Scratches a few of those awkward hidden corners where the puppeteers pile the loot, and shows the systemic organisation devised by that infallible ' invisible hand' of the market. Scuse my repetition.
