The C19 Shot Is 'the Biggest Biological Pharmaceutical Safety Disaster in the History of Mankind'
"Many tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, and potentially millions of people have lost their lives with the vaccine," grieved Dr. McCullough.
"This will go down as the biggest biological pharmaceutical safety disaster in the history of mankind — by a mile. This will go down worse than most wars in terms of mortality."
Dr. Peter McCullough is one of the most published cardiologists ever in America and is now serving as the Chief Scientific Officer for The Wellness Company.

Shannon Airport is the destination again on Saturday 21st of June for a
National Demonstration
called by the Cork Anti-War Campaign against the continued US Military use of the Airport. Buses are travelling from
Cork
and Dublin.
The demonstration will be complimented by a party/gathering called by SOS at what was previously the site of the Shannon Peace Camp and by a
Catholic Worker Peace Walk.
SOS
have issued an open invitation for people interested in
contributing to the party
and in a
statement and
interview
have outlined their novel approach.
Court cases
centring on events at previous Shannon demonstrations and direct actions continue, as do efforts to raise funds for those facing charges and fines. These include a
pub quiz
in Dublin on Thursday 19th June, and a
concert
in Dublin on Tuesday 17th.
An abundance of material continues to be published on Indymedia on the subject of the ongoing war in Iraq and protests and actions in opposition to it including these
audio interviews
with Caoimhe Butterly, who has recently travelled there.
Comment on this feature
In March 1849, several hundred starving people set out on a desperate walk from Louisburgh in County Mayo, Ireland. Their destination was a mansion where dinner was being served to the Board of Guardians who had the powers to release food or issue certificates of destitution to give entry to the workhouse. The Louisburg people were denied both. On the return journey as many as a hundred men, women and children died.
The Famine/Peace Walk Walk organised by Afri (Action from Ireland) took place from Doolough to Louisburg, Co Mayo on Saturday 31st May to commemorate this event and raise awareness around issues of world poverty and the arms trade. Walk leaders were Brendan Forde OFM who has worked for 30 years in Latin America, Kathy Kelly of Voices in the Wilderness, Nuria Mustafa, an Iraqi exile living in Ireland, and Pat O’Brien, priest, poet and anti-war activist.
One night I was woken up by a Garda, by him booting
me in the ribs, because, he said, `I can't be arsed
bending down and I don't like touching shit with my
hands!'
My name is David and I am homeless. I was asked to
write a piece on the reason for my situation and my
experiences of being homeless. This is it. I am sorry
if it comes across as a sob story,  it isn't
meant to and I am not looking for sympathy or for
people to feel sorry for me. As it is things are
looking up for me at last but it probably does come
across that way because after a long time spent
thinking about it, there aren?t many good things that
I can say about it.
Contrary to popular belief homeless people haven't
brought the situation on themselves and do not choose
to live that way, as is the case with me. After my
mother passed on, I decided that I wanted to get away
from Liverpool and go back to my home country of
Ireland, (having left when I was six or seven because
my Mum and Dad split up, my Mum being from Liverpool
she took me back to be with her parents.) as I had no
family left there, being born an only child and late
on in my parents life (my Father had passed on two
years earlier and I had no family in Ireland either.)
I had nothing to keep me there and I felt I needed a
change.
Continue
to the rest of the story.

Threshold
has some
good resources which indicate that if David were
to wait for "social housing" he could wait as long as
12 years.
More of this research is at Focus Ireland
calls into question (pg. 126) the role that land
speculation and the
planning process in the provision of "social
housing".
As part of a response to the situation the evangelical
Dominican Friars run the Merchant's Quay
Project and the Simon
Community and St. Vincent
de Paul undertake similar work.
However David can rest assured that the proper
authorities have the problem in hand. As long ago as
the 21st of January 2002, Minister Bobby Molloy, in a
criticism
of a Focus Ireland report said "[...]There is no
escaping the fact that there are far too many people
homeless and this Government is totally committed to
dealing with the problem of homelessness. We have made
considerable improvements in the way we are addressing
the problem."

The G8 are returning to Europe in June after fleeing to the Rocky mountains last year in an attempt to avoid the protests that greeted them in Genoa in 2001. The G8 are effectively an unelected world government who dictate the world’s economic and political agenda through the IMF, the World Trade Organisation and the World Bank. Their neoliberal policies of war and profit are destroying the planet and its people. The G8 will meet in Evian, France from the 1st to the 3rd of June. Hundreds of thousands of protestors from all over Europe are heading there to greet them!
Globalise Resistance, an Irish activist network, is calling on all organisations and individuals to sign the call opposing the G8 and encourages people to make their way to the protests and alternative summits that will be held near Evian. Anti-G8 leaflets and trade union motions are available from GR's web pages.
Globalise Resistance is running buses to get there, and an alternative bus known as the
'Good Bus' is being discussed.

A report in the Sunday Business Post on April 29th stated that the Starbucks chain of coffee shops intended on opening up several outlets in Ireland. I took a dictaphone out to some independent cafes in Dublin and asked people what they thought about the potential arrival of this cocoa behemoth.
