When a PhD on the "politics of smell" trended on X recently it exposed how elites use pretentious woke gobbledegook to exclude the people from power, much like previous generations used Latin and Greek, says Steven Tucker.

Direct Action In Dublin
''...Theologian John Robinson, who did a similar occupation of the same building previously, had decided that his conscience was calling him to do so once more. He was ultimately joined by six like-minded people, including Iraqi peace activist Nuria Mustafa (who will appear in Shannon District Court on November 20th along with several others on charges of obstructing traffic near the airport on June 21st). Nuria, who is currently fasting for Ramadan, prayed with John and others for the casualties of the invasion and occupation of Iraq, in what was a truly ecumenical act of civil disobedience. The seven constructed a shrine to the Iraqi dead, recited the Office of the Dead and chanted Muslim prayers, as they nonviolently confronted the Aviation Authority on its complicity in the ongoing war and occupation of Iraq.''
- Deirdre Clancy, of the Catholic Worker

Top Oil Picketed In Galway

''A group of peace protesters gathered on Monday to picket the Galway Oil Company offices. Galway Oil being the local distributers of Top Oil, the company which provides pit stop services to the U.S. military at Shannon, including re-fueling. They then went and leafleted Shop Street - main street in Galway, asking people to boycott Top Oil. Other local distributers of Top Oil include - Mid Western Oil Products and Ennistymon Oil in Clare, John Dunne oil in Castlebar, Kelly Fuels in the North, and Ger Conway Oil in Kildare. The Top Oil Boycott Working Group within the Irish Anti-War Movement is currently developing plans for a rolling campaign against the company, with weekly actions in different parts of the country.''

What Donald Rumsfeld really thinks:
The Iraq war will be 'a Long, Hard Slog'

Mass Civil Disobedience Planned For Shannon Airport
"It is worth remembering that on February 15th more than 100,000 people marched in Dublin against U.S. plans to invade Iraq and against Irish complicity with the American military. They were treated with contempt by the Irish government, which ignored the huge turnout and instead continued to assist the build up to war. Tens of thousands also marched in other urban centres and on Shannon airport itself, and they were similiarly treated with contempt by Fianna Fail and the PDs. This attitude persists and Shannon airport continues to be shamed by the presence of U.S. warplanes. In fact, the airport is openly assisting the occupations of both Iraq and Afghanistan. That is simply not acceptable."
- Fintan Lane, on the upcoming December 6th Protest at Shannon Airport led by the Irish Anti-War Movement
dublin / bin tax / household tax / water tax Wednesday November 05, 2003 01:13 by Andrew
dscn5558bintaxoct11.jpg "Stand in front of a bin truck and they may well jail you. Pocket millions, some of which would have otherwise gone to health or education, and they will ask you over for dinner."

They hang the man and flog the woman
That steal the goose from off the common,
But let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose.

The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine.

The poor and wretched don't escape
If they conspire the law to break;
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law.

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back.
