Breaking news: Italian MP, Sgarbi denounces the Statistical Fraud on COVID-19. The speech of the Member of Parliament Vittorio Sgarbi in the session of the Italian Camera, Meeting no. 331 of Friday 24, April, 2020. Vittorio Sgarbi, denounces the closure of 60% of the businesses for 25,000 COVID-19 Deaths, of which the National Institute of Health says 96.3% died NOT of COVID-19 but of other pathologies. That means only 925 have died of the virus. 24,075 have died of other things.2003-10-07T15:04:40+00:00Indymedia Irelandimc-ireland@lists.indymedia.iehttp://www.indymedia.ie/atomfullposts?story_id=61512http://www.indymedia.ie/graphics/feedlogo.gifCity Hall Demohttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/61512#comment485752003-10-07T15:04:40+00:00JanusI was at it and for what it's worth it was a good enough demo but it was only re...I was at it and for what it's worth it was a good enough demo but it was only really about the size you'd normally get when the demos outside City Hall were a regular first Monday in each month thing. Maybe a bit bigger.<br />
<br />
It concerns me that since the massive, 3,500 strong march thru the city following Joe's arrest the numbers turning out on marches have been steadily dropping. And don't think the media hasn't been using this against us.<br />
<br />
Protests and marches for the sake of it or to 'keep momentum' will only see people being fatigued earlier. <br />
<br />
Maybe we need to build to a big show of strength demo and I'd suggest we do one for the release of Joe and Clare. Lets face it, they're going to do their full whack. But they also have celebrity and massive name recognition now.<br />
<br />
A welcome out demo for the two of them, well advertised in advance, could be a significant show of strength for the campaign, one that frankly, it badly needs.Bin tax demo on Saturdayhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/61512#comment485762003-10-07T15:07:43+00:00ChekovThe Dublin Trades Council have called for a demo on saturday at 12 noon, going t...The Dublin Trades Council have called for a demo on saturday at 12 noon, going to Mountjoy. I don't know where it starts from though (anybody?). This will be a good opportunity to put pressure on the union leaders to put their money where their mouth is. Begg may even have the cheek to speak. hijackhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/61512#comment486082003-10-07T17:02:27+00:00blockerFrom the photos it looks like another hijack from SF.From the photos it looks like another hijack from SF.Filthy Shinnershttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/61512#comment486292003-10-07T18:46:26+00:00JanusI noticed them too.

<br />
Or, more realistically, they were there, as they have been at every protest outside City Hall and the vast majority of them elsewhere with placards like many, many, many other people and parties. <br />
<br />
Just because the photographer shoed a picture of them doesn't say they hijacked anything. For all we know, thousands of people were on the left hand side and the photographer didn't include them.worse stillhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/61512#comment486432003-10-07T19:32:37+00:00pat ci saw shinners paying sp & swp members to carry sf placards!!!!!

<br />
hardly. it was a crowded situation with little room to move on the sidewalk in front of City Hall. With the police barricades up and the car traffic heavy at that time of day it was impossible to get a medium distance shot. <br />
<br />
No one got in my way on purpose - Sinner or SP or whoever. So, I went across the street to get some wide shots.<br />
<br />
As for: 'For all we know, thousands of people were on the left hand side and the photographer didn't include them.'<br />
<br />
the photos show the numbers visually, i think - 100+ or so?<br />
<br />
As for 'Hijacking'.... i find this comment amusing. I'm not one to defend Sinn Fein (pro or anti, that is) but it seems to be the Dublin 'tradition' of certain groups (SWP, SP or SF) to give out massive amounts of placards on a given theme that happens to include their trademarks. <br />
<br />
Nothing new about that. <br />
<br />
I dont know if this particular demo was anymore of a SF event than other events have been SWP or SP etc.... its just the economics of which group had money to spend on placards and the organisation to distribute them to people who want a placard at the start of the demo.no bribery eitherhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/61512#comment486492003-10-07T19:47:26+00:00redjadeNo I was not bribed.
Although I don't mind being paid to take photos :-)

<br />
it was satire, i doubt if even a moron in a hurry would believe that you had been bribed or that spers were paid to carry sf placards.<br />

(and people say that i dont have a sense of humour...)Apologies to Redjadehttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/61512#comment486602003-10-07T20:46:50+00:00JanusMy suggestion that the Shinners were moving about was ironic.

Doesn't make for bias on the half of the photographer or suggest hijacking.That march [1]http://www.indymedia.ie/article/61512#comment486802003-10-08T00:54:52+00:00real timeOctober 11th at 3 p.m. from Parnell Square to Mountjoy Prison

Unfortuanately though brave, the bolsheviks of Dublin in 1916 lacked military genius as much they lacked luck, and they failed to occupy Dublin Castle and stayed lurking in City Hall instead. This was a _grave_ tactical error, whilst their comrades up on Stephen's Green dug trenches and fed the ducks, (another _grave_ tactical error).<br />
<br />
The second attenpt to hijack City Hall occured last year when the ipsiphi psychically influenced the aldermen and councilors to come to a 23 for 23 against stand-off.<br />
This was a most important tactical step on the way to your future collective liberation for which you shall of course reward me richly.Nopehttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/61512#comment491972003-10-13T19:27:35+00:00MagsIt was Sean Connolly (no relation) who led the ICA to Dublin Castle in 1916.
