The New Scientific Priesthood Wants Complete Control of What We Are Told Wed Dec 18, 2024 13:32 | Dr David McGrogan The ambition of elites to "manage the infodemic" amounts to the establishment of a scientific priesthood that wants full control of what we are told to ensure we only come to approved conclusions, says Dr David McGrogan.

It's a pity they weren't thrown out of court as quickly
On Monday 11th May eleven defendants charged with public order offences while protesting the M3 through the Gabhra Valley, Meath, appeared before Trim court. Three more defendants were unable to return to Ireland and their cases were heard in their absence.
Seven of the defendants had been arrested on 18th July 2007 while protesting at Blundelstown at the Hill of Tara. Others were arrested on 14th September 2007 and 26th July 2007 and 13th March 2007.
Quotes from Court Observers:
* "The Public Order cases proved to be very interesting. Each case before the Court on Monday was dismissed as the Gardaí had failed to investigate as to whether anyone being charged had lawful or reasonable excuse. Offences under the Public Order Act, for the most part, specify that in order for an offence to be committed, there must not exist a reasonable or lawful excuse."
* "The cases on Wednesday were similar to Monday's cases, with the exception of the assault case. However, there was more argument to be had, unlike those on Monday, which usually only took seconds once a Garda witness was turned over to the defence for cross examination."
* "The crunch came when the Garda, having been asked to describe what he'd do today, in similar circumstances, under the provisions of 19c of Section 24 of the Housing Act (Miscellaneous Provisions) which adds a whole new set of offences into the Public Order Act, showed the Court that he had not the beginnings of a clue. A Garda must describe the offence allegedly being committed and what his or her reaction to it is. The Garda described his reaction only and thus failed in his duty."
Reclaim the Streets
"Another World is Possible"
On Saturday Afternoon, Galwegians and their friends from around the country and world, came together on newly renamed (by us), Anti-Shop Street, to take back our space from the capitalist, consumerist culture which has taken it over, with its bizarre ideas of a life dedicated to shopping, spending, buying and profit, so that we could share an experience of another world, where everything is free, people share and give food, fun, stuff and life, simply because they can and it just feels good!

Shell Out Manoeuvred Again
Campaigners using a daring “tripod” technique have halted the illegal work being undertaken by Shell at the Corrib Gas landfall site at Glengad in Co Mayo.
Shell contractors were due this morning to extend the construction compound down onto the public beach at Glengad. However, early bird Shell to Sea campaigners blocked access to the beach at 5 am by erecting two specially-designed tripods, each 20 feet in height. Two men attached themselves to the top of the tripods using climbing equipment and as of lunchtime are still suspended from the tripods.

Tearing Down the Barricades
This is a Call Out from the united community of Erris Co Mayo to all our national and international supporters, asking you to come to Glengad this coming Saturday 9th May at 6pm in the evening, on a Day of Action to help us remove Shell's illegal fences from the area.
As you know, Shell returned to Glengad with fences and machinery on Wednesday 22nd April, with force and violence. Since then there have been a number of attempts at removing the fences and stopping the work, with a mixture of failure and success.
As you can see from the photos and footage below, the will is clearly there to fight Shell, in spite of the fact that large numbers of Shell security and Gardai have been drafted into the area. But what is also clear is that numbers are needed to achieve success. Numbers, People, Bodies. That means you. Please come.
