OscailtStop Blair - Urgent Call to ActionThe Galway Alliance Against War has written to progressive organisations throughout the country asking them to become involved in the campaign to stop the mass murderer Tony Blair coming to Ireland to kick off the world promotion of his memoir. On the 4th September Blair is to conduct a book-signing in Eason’s O’Connell St Dublin from 11am-1pm. And the previous evening he is due to appear on RTE’s Late Late Show.
GAAW intends to begin picketing the local Branch of Eason’s in Galway from this Thursday lunchtime in protest and is asking other groups around the country to hold protests outside Eason’s stores.
The Galway Alliance Against War is of the view that Eason’s and RTE can be forced to rescind their invitations to this man who is directly responsible for the deaths of more than 1.3 million Iraqis.
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.2010-08-24T15:11:38+00:00Indymedia Irelandimc-ireland@lists.indymedia.iehttp://www.indymedia.ie/atomfullposts?story_id=97494http://www.indymedia.ie/graphics/feedlogo.gifLetter to Eason'shttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/97494#comment2723992010-08-24T15:11:38+00:00MaureenSir/Madam.

Eight years ago, over 100,000 people of live conscience marched past the front doors of your branch in O'Connell Street in protest against the imminent criminal attack on the defenceless sovereign country of Iraq, eight years on with over a million dead, you desecrate their memory and slime, besides the marchers, the Irish people who overwhelmingly opposed this illegal war by feting and honouring one of its main architects with his so called book signing at the same branch.<br />

Dear Sir/Madam.<br />
On February 15, 2003, over 100,000 people of live conscience marched in protest against the imminent criminal attack on the defenceless sovereign country of Iraq, eight years on with over a million dead, you desecrate their memory and slime, besides the marchers, the Irish people who overwhelmingly opposed this illegal war by feting and honouring one of its main architects, namely, war criminal, Tony Blair.<br />

The mass murderer will be signing books from 11am till 1pm and then will be leaving the building. More efficacious in every way is for the IAWM to hold the protest outside Eason's from 9.30am onwards, then, there'll be no soft and easy passage for Blair into that establishment, let the bugger feel the outrage we all nurture.? I for one, don't feel the need to waft my perfume into the desert air and do a Grand Old Duke of York on it; the pointless exercise in the Garden of Remembrance. I for one, will be outside Eason's at 9.30am, if not earlier. <br />

Sure, get out there and protest. But remember who the spineless collaborators in our own corner are. Blair is a busted flush. He wont be rubber stamping the increased military traffic through Shannon when the lights go green for Iran.<br />
And, sceptic, I dont think there is a bye-law to stop you drafting up your own poster.my placard..http://www.indymedia.ie/article/97494#comment2724762010-08-26T13:41:19+00:00opus diabloswere I in the vicinity would simply read;-

Its easy enough mock up a shot of him in handcuffs(I've had one of George in his prison suit and cuffed to a garda on the wall for a few years now).
