<br />
I voted for Mary Robinson and you give her fair dues for whatever of good she has done, and she has done some good.<br />
<br />
It's sad but true that she has changed. It's alright to have your head in the clouds if you keep your feet planted firmly on the ground. But her curt dismissal of the protestor's question and her avoidance of human rights issues in her home county shows an unfortunate change of character and a loss of the human touch. <br />
<br />
Keep up your brave non-violent fight, keep your dignity, forget the begrudgers. Your prolonged non-violent action is historic. Against all the odds, against big business, big government, with all of its ancillaries including the Garda Síochána and the judiciary, you have been courageous and just brilliant. May your light continue to shine from Mayo around the world.<br />

<br />
I empathise with, and deeply share the views you have expressed.<br />
<br />
Violence, physical and/or psychological, will get us -- the citizens of the Republic of Ireland, of the so called "left", the "right", and the "centre" -- nowhere (collectively) it seems to me: especially now that we are well into "The Internet Age", which can, it appears to me, when used well, scale up the power of non-violent resistance to human rights abuses and injustices caused by governments (and their wrongdoing), as never before in the history of humanity.<br />
<br />
It is thoughtful understanding, coupled with a basic knowledge of Bunreacht na hEireann, the supreme law of the Republic of Ireland, that is the "path" best followed (in my opinion): particularly if we could all (or most of us) "hold the focus" tightly on Article 6.1, and its enormous potential for peacefully bringing to fruition a "government of the people, by the people, for the people" result: for ourselves, and for the future generations of our descendents.<br />

What a tragedy though that all of these abuses are happenning in Mayo, in effect a foreign army aided and abetted by the state and it may as welll be happening on planet Mars! !<br />

Virtually NO ONE knows what is going on thanks to the MSM clampdown.<br />

Email dated June 20th 2012 titled "Money Power Psychopaths and C-PTSD injuries caused by government crime"<br />

<br />
Printed copies of the e-mail at the www address just above were also sent on June 20th 2012 to Minister for Health James Reilly TD, and to Dr Anne Jeffers. So far, it appears to me that the entire contents of the June 20th 2012 e-mail (and associated registered letters) are all being completely ignored by all concerned. Please note that according to the scanned copies of the Post Office delivery notes on public display at the www address immediately above, the two registered letters in question were delivered on June 21st 2012 (to Dr Jeffers), and on June 22nd 2012 (to Minister for Health James Reilly TD).<br />

Supporting home causes can entail having to deal intellectually with perceived conflicting interests. Economic interests (dangers of piping gas from the sea vs. benefits to individual households of using natural gas for cooking and heating); image interests (basking in the reflected glory of being a friend of Aung Suu Ki or an imprisoned Palestinian nonviolence campaigner vs. getting involved in a Shell to Sea campaign that has also attracted RSF and other dissident republicans) and sexual civil liberties issues vs. other issues that have a diminished middle class appeal.<br />
<br />
Yes, her Bilderberg and Trilateral Commission influences appear to have affected her social outlook.<br />
<br />
On the information blackout in the mass media re. S-2-S activity and arguments, I would note that many Irish people are unaware that a natural resource exploitation concession was granted to a foreign multinational for free. The only financial benefits to citizens and the state will be salaries and low corporation taxes. The gas supply will dwindle to an uneconomic level after a small number of years. (What will happen to the plant piping, underground electrical wiring and machinery at the land site then?) But the big tinted glasses factor is that many householders in town and city believe that piped natural gas will make home life comfortable for thousands of Irish families. It seems hard to counter that line of public outlook. I'd say Mary Robinson shares that outlook."Attend the regime, or be a man?"http://www.indymedia.ie/article/102447#comment2923562012-09-22T06:38:40+00:00W.

He claims that inmates in Georgia face inhumane treatment for political reasons or simply for the amusement of those in charge of jails."<br />
<br />
The above excerpt is from a Russian Television (RT) report dated September 21st 2012. The report also contains an unusually interesting interview with a man, who I strongly suspect is completely genuine, and who describes the massive, couldn't be bigger, gap between what "they" -- local home-grown Georgian "creatures of the Bush Family" it is claimed -- are really like (behind the scenes), and the completely phoney image "they" try to hoodwink the general public into believing about themselves. <br />
<br />
"They are criminals" this man claims.<br />
<br />
I'm left thinking, very sadly and very worryingly, about the way the general situation described by this man all reminds me so much of home.<br />

Robinson's role in the 6 Countieshttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/102447#comment2924002012-09-25T18:08:54+00:00Niall FarrellI don’t like to boast, but i have been questioning the canonisation of St. Mary ...I don’t like to boast, but i have been questioning the canonisation of St. Mary Robinson dating back to her time as Ireland’s president. As a member of Relatives For Justice, an organisation formed in 1991 by relatives of people murdered by the British state, i came to realise that Robinson wasn’t too keen on defending the human rights everyone and most especially the ‘minority’ in the 6 Counties. On a visit to Derry she refused to lay a wreath at the monument dedicated to the 14 civil rights marchers murdered by British paratroopers on Bloody Sunday in January 1972. In contrast, on the same trip she had no difficulty laying a wreath at the memorial where 11 innocent Protestants were murdered by the IRA in Enniskillen in November 1987.<br />
When she “famously” shook hands with Gerry Adams at a community event in Andersonstown Belfast, she insisted that no victims of the British state should be present. She consistently refused to meet an RFJ delegation deeming it political, but had no difficulty showing her oh-so-liberal side by meeting up with a delegation of gay rights activists at the Aras. As though the latter was not a political gesture in this reactionary state. <br />
The message was clear to us: the British state killers could do no wrong. RFJ continued out of sheer spite to write to Robinson demanding a meeting. She eventually reluctantly did meet us in 1995, but only after the IRA called their ceasefire. Nevertheless, we took pleasure in her discomfiture and made our views clear as to the role of the British state in Ireland.<br />

They may even be armed or is that a stretch ? <br />
<br />
Either ways it would not permeate the skulls of our populace as it is kept safely out of view by the mass media. <br />
<br />
How can this be countered ? With the internet and websites ? maybe. Is this not the theory; that these tools should help even up the awareness score ? but if the populace has never heard of these websites, these information tools, the said tools might as well be rusting at the bottom of the Liffey ? while we all continue to preach to ourselves the converted.<br />
<br />
How do we let people know where the tools are ? ? sadly they are all over the internet too :-(http://www.indymedia.ie/article/102447#comment2924322012-09-26T23:08:06+00:00fredsadly, they have their minions well entrenched on the internet too.

For example, just go on politics.ie and see the nasty right wing responses you get when you post something about the giveaway of our assets or rossport or occupy movement.<br />
<br />
The fact is right wing pro corporate "astroturfing" (fake grass roots support) is rife on many popular websites. No doubt some of these people are paid to run interference for profitable enterprises and vested interests such as shell.<br />
