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.

Discussion & Party (BYOB) Imperialism and its Effects

category dublin | history and heritage | event notice author Thursday May 12, 2011 10:51author by Fitoslook - LASC Report this post to the editors

Imperialism and its Effects:

In light of the Queen's visit to Ireland (and the temporary closures of our street) we are holding an event in the LASC office, 5 Merrion Row, Dublin 2 on Wednesday 18th of May at 19:30, to discuss some of the many effects and consequences of Imperialism.

This theme is highly relevant to both Latin America and Ireland so we would ask you to come along and share your thoughts and ideas on the subject. It is a bring your own drink party so we hope to enjoy a lively and participative evening. The event will be facilitated by Colette Spears, former LASC Coordinator. It will be a casual affair and we hope that everyone can contribute something.

We look forward to seeing you then.

The street may be blocked off due to the Queen's visit so we will need everyone planning to attend to send us in your name and date of birth to give to the Gardaí. We would appreciate it if you can send us this information before Friday 13th if possible.

Sometimes the best location is the bullseye. If we cower down the fuckers have won already. I'd attend if I were closer. My membership lapses and gets renewed over time. Been an admirer of LASC since the seventies. Our current conditions, with their re-echoes of Latin American debt-traps makes it all the more relevant and appropriate that they are, again, the locus. Its a bit like the King of Spain touring Venezuela just after the death of Bolivar, not fucking yet thanks.

Yeah... the idea of giving our own details to the Guards does sound odd and certainly will not be for everyone but some of us have already become 'known to the Gardai' more than once though protest activities and have little to lose by doing this.

Others of us have no record and probably won't ever have one unless someone like Pinochet takes over in which case all of us posting here are probably already profiled by the sites we surf or friends we call on our mobile phones, and if they want to we could all probably be picked up on the first morning of the coup and in that eventuality my friends we will all meet up interned in Croke Park.

I don't believe it will give the Gardai any significant intelligence-gathering advantage to know that I am going to a talk and a party. I don't think any activist who could be compromised by it would attend this event. It's a choice we can make as activists, nobody else is putting us in danger.

I'm a member of LASC (I think - I probably let it lapse but I am definitely a supporter) but I might not visit the centre more than onse every 2years. But I want to attend this because it's annoying to be told by the state that I can't. LASC is right in the zone where all conventional protest is banned - it's between Kildare St and Merrion St - and it's happening at a time when the state is making a serious attempt to quash the right of free assembly. To have this mocking party, that obeys the letter of the law but that will probably cause worry and stress to the watchers but that the state will find hard to ban outright without some embarassment, can be seen as a creative attempt at reclaiming the centre . I dont' think LASC deserve to be derided for this - maybe comrades you can employ your undoubted verbal virtuosity on mocking the queen and her gombeens.

Having said that, good luck with your own protests and activism this May month.

Sorry, should have written BYOB = bring your own booze. Eds please correct that small typo for me thanks.

Answer to the quiz::
PYOHC of course stands for Provide your own handcuffs.

I've just worked out that BYOP stands for " Bring your own booze"

How about this one : PYOHC

Surely the gardai will have enough on their hands during the royal visit . Couldn't we just send our details straight to Harcourt Street ?

Very interesting, but the gardai already have my name and date of birth and even more info about me. You do realise that you are putting activists in danger by giving their personal info to the gardai, don't you?
