Musical protest at Glengad compound
Today's Irish Times (1st Sept '08) is reporting that the Gardaí have asked for help from Interpol to identify some of the overseas protesters who have flocked to Mayo to support the Shell to Sea campaign and the local community. Photos are being passed on to Interpol for comparison. Pathetic stuff really!
Well done people.
Get pro-active:
Get some powerful portable halogen lights to shine into the Garda camera lens
when they try to film you. If you do it right, you blind their equipment permanently.
But continue to do it as a policy.
Get legal advice. I think they cannot insist on names if they cannot show due cause.
Seek a legal injunction against garda encroachment on site unless a crime is "likely to happen or has happened". This will help with objections to giving names etc.
Obtain name rank and station and number of all gardai involved. Get everyone to demand the manes and details, individually, of all gardai. Even the children have this right and the right to write it down, step by step, no matter how long this takes. If they refuse, they are acting illegally and cannot ask for your names while so acting. Catch 22 !
Do not let them trace my e-mails !!
You only have to listen to the accents and the foreign languages being spoken to realise that many of those currently in Glengad are from South Africa, Israel, Britain and further afield. These people have no connection to this country and will move on when the next protest flares up. Of course that's just the security guards.
(Why did the cops release that information about Interpol to the press I wonder? A strategy of portraying this as a local problem that is being interfere with by outsiders maybe? Do they think Shell, Marathon and Statoil/Norsk Hydro are all locals compnanies? Are the profits from the gas going to stay in Ballina? Anyway, what other information is being leaked to journalists, and why is all in Shell's interests? It couldn't be that some police are on Shell's payroll could it?)

I can see why it frustrates you, but spending time and money on that type of thing is just lowering yourself to their petty level, and distracts from more productive activity. The whole reason Garda Bourke is bringing that camera in so close is purely to annoy people, and distract them. He could stand further away and use the zoom, but he's just there to annoy people, and to provoke them and hopefully get them arrested.
If asked for your name, don't give it unless they give their name, and confirm that they're asking in an official capacity. Otherwise, don't entertain them, and tell them you're busy, and just ignore them.
Shell would love the campers to spend our time being annoyed with cops, and security guards, but having met the the Shell to Sea campers I can see that they are not that silly.
