OscailtIrish Media is an accomplice of Police BrutalityI just happen to work very near the Department of Finance and so I was a first hand witness to how events unfolded on November 3rd during the Students’ Protest. I came out to support the students -“hijack their protest” according to the lazy, subservient and incredibly pro-rich Irish mainstream media journalists, who are unable to understand a simple concept called “Solidarity”.
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.2010-11-09T23:25:35+00:00Indymedia Irelandimc-ireland@lists.indymedia.iehttp://www.indymedia.ie/atomfullposts?story_id=98140http://www.indymedia.ie/graphics/feedlogo.gifPepehttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/98140#comment2751152010-11-09T23:25:35+00:00pat cGreat article.

Don't forget the role of the NUJ. Why are they silent? They know that NUJ members, especially photographers, were assaulted by the garda. This makes the NUJ silence even more dumbfounding.Why RTE did not report truthfully on the Student abuse/riot police incident...http://www.indymedia.ie/article/98140#comment2751272010-11-10T11:38:10+00:00Ed Martinugenics at gmail dot comTo me its really quite obvious why they decided to conceal the truth from the Ir...To me its really quite obvious why they decided to conceal the truth from the Irish people, because the media aka RTE are in bed with the government. Who enforces the TV licence fee which goes to RTE and their programming?? <br />
I mean if you look at it on a deeper level, just think of the word program, who are they trying to program?? US<br />
They do this by telling us [cue program] that things are not as they seem, it will get better and we all know it just keeps getting worse.<br />
People need to rally together and come up with a solution, as the idiots who are in charge do not care about you, me or anyone else for that matter.<br />
<br />
We need totally reform of our society in my opinion, Its not just Political reform we need as a society, we need change on a fundamental level. <br />
Our society hasn't functioned well enough in the last 50-100 years, what we need is more than just law reform/political reform/ economic reform. We need a society that doesn't just think about the human race as a sum of parts, people as currency, the entire world as an eco-system is under serious threat and to think we don't need to look into all areas of betterment is a gross miscalculation. In my opinion RTE, The government our artificial existence is something that needs an overhaul.<br />
We need to start asking ourselves real questions and get really involved.<br />
For example, the so called democracy we live in, is a fallacy. <br />
Those students are someones children and the government is supposed to be a voice of the people. personally speaking, my morals/needs/ethics are not represented in any of the political parties. <br />
Its time for a huge change... you wouldn't ask an accountant to fix a burst water pipe, then why do we have all manner of people governing our existence. Surely if we want our world to function correctly and to have any chance of surviving to the next Millenia we need to take stock and realize that what we are doing here has implications everywhere. <br />
<br />
Engineers & scientists need to be called in to fix our problems, people who are problem solvers, not someone who WANTS to be elected, the time for people with ego's ruling our civilization should be brought to an end. We need people using the heads & hearts, people who are flexible, people who think outside the box. Claiming our future probably has some well intentioned people aboard, i do hope their energies can be directed in a positive manner and not just a new face for an old ideal...<br />
RTE and mediahttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/98140#comment2751302010-11-10T12:09:31+00:00opus diablos'We need to start asking ourselves real questions...'
Just caught up with the m...'We need to start asking ourselves real questions...'<br />
<br />
Just caught up with the movie 'Good Night and Good Luck'(2005, I'm a late developer). The story of the CBS news crew's stand against the McCarthy red-scare terror tactics of military/industrial boyos Eisenhower warned about as America's greatest potential threat. <br />
Definitely asks a few of the 'real questions'; and shows they dont change too much with geography or time.<br />

It seems that Fianna Fail have sanctioned their propaganda organisation RTE to allow exposure of their magnificent assault troops in action . This is done of course as a warning to any other group, of the treatment they will get if they dare to oppose the will of the government .They have controll of all sectors of Irish society and do not intend to let the peasants seek justice in such an audacious manner as peacefull protest.<br />
They have been getting away with brutality in Rosport for years and the majority of the public stayed silent or even praised their actions. <br />
NOW AT LAST THE PEOPLE WILL SEE THAT IRELAND IS RULED BY DICTATORS PRETENDING TO BE DEMOCRATS.<br />
GOOD WISHES TO YOUR MARCH ihope you all stay safe from the thugs.<br />

importance of independent mediahttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/98140#comment2751372010-11-10T14:06:11+00:00wthe most important thing here is that people are now able to consult independent...the most important thing here is that people are now able to consult independent media instead of relying only on what mainstream media say. You don't need RTE to show footage of police violence to know what happened -thousands watched it anyway! this means we should start taking more seriously the role of independent media like indymedia...Redmond in good companyhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/98140#comment2751412010-11-10T15:22:32+00:00KevSeems like Mr. Redmond is in good company - his English counterpart Aaron Porter...Seems like Mr. Redmond is in good company - his English counterpart Aaron Porter, NUS president has condemned the breakaway march in London and the occupation of the Tory Party HQ by "trouble" makers. <br />

so-called?http://www.indymedia.ie/article/98140#comment2751862010-11-11T23:01:08+00:00RAF It is absolutely bizarre that TV3 continues (eg today) to repeat, several times... It is absolutely bizarre that TV3 continues (eg today) to repeat, several times, on their news bulletins their phrase "so-called excessive use of force" by the Garda. How is this "so-called"?? It was manifestly REAL. This is truly the advent of Doublespeak, and an attempt to control of citizens' very perceptions via language and the impression of a higher, more knowledgeable authority.
