That way, when the next 12 articles about the Juche ideal and latent sado-masochist cut and pastes from the times hide them there'll still be a clear piece for people checking the date, time, place. Also the reports of the West Papua, Shannon trial, CM etc won't disappear into the aether. Thanks.

Lets hope rts behalf them selfs after all the trouble they caused last year. It's funny to see so many attention seeks in the same place.

While using protest.net is a good idea, it seems a bit wobbly in practice - there doesn't seem to be any way of finding a way to the calendar you've linked to above from the front page or from the page dedicated to europe (except for a calendar maintained by some crowd called free-eire.org). Neither do events posted in your calendar appear in the listing of European events.

Joe Higgins statement on RTS

Press Statement - 8th May 2002

Garda Attack on Protest Follows Familiar Pattern in E.U. Call on Minister for Justice to Disclose Content of E.U. Justice Ministers’ Discussions Regarding Anti-Globalisation Movement Joe Higgins T.D. The Socialist Party

The horrific scenes witnessed on Monday evening in Dublin, with members of the Garda provoking and viciously attacking protesters, followers a familiar recent pattern within the E.U.

From personal observation of the huge protests around the E.U. Summit in Gothenburg, Sweden in June 2001, I concluded that there was a deliberate policy of provocation by the Swedish police and recorded my observations during Taoiseach’s Question Time in the Dáil. The police first provoked violence and then quite brutally attacked demonstrators. Similar situations developed in Genoa and later in Brussels.

The Anti-Globalisation movement has garnered huge support among European youth and sections of the trade union movement. This has been discussed at meetings of E.U. Justice Ministers.

I call upon the Minister for Justice to state the content of these discussions. In particular, I ask him to say whether a policy of repression of this movement has been tacitly agreed among the E.U. Ministers and whether this was a factor in the Garda response on Monday evening.

Certainly, the dismissal by the Taoiseach of my personal observations in the Dáil point to a policy of complicity in repression against a growing movement of opposition to capitalist globalisation and multi-national domination of our world.

For further information, contact Joe Higgins T.D. at telephone: (01) 618 3038

back there "may 8th" yawn yawn.

worth commenting "yawn" for the record, that the RTS May 2002 was fronted by a group called "Globalise Resistance".
The Global RTS frienship network were a wee bit surprised but delighted all the same.

They made lots of mistakes, but did lost of things well too, they certainly "learnt" from those mistakes, and are all spread throughout the world now doing things "better".

The RTS phenomona took longer than usual to arrive in Dublin, it had safely kicked off in many other places before, Norway another of Europe's racist countries with its head stuck up its arse had celebrated it's first RTS a little while before, but no-one (not no-one the commentator..."no-one the "nemo/nabu" of old" had replied to their letters to Ireland.
People were too busy "thinking locally" being paranoid and sticking themselves further up their capacious arses...

you ought by now know that RTS is "part of your urban culture".

The Gardai are different this year, they behaved themselves moderately at the September gig, and we can expect they will on Monday.

Meanwhile if anyone would like photos/video/audio/text files on the 300+ RTS and "RTS named" events that have occured globally since 1997 you can ask me sweetly and if you offer me a competant "akkadian grammarian" and if poss. an "akkadian literate, paleo-arabic mathematician" I shall perhaps give you the source dates of the texts that started the whole global phenomona.
if not, so be it.
it works in any case.

finally look at the link.

no.
i do not.

look at this-
http://www.nodo50.org/x-files/bcn01/x_files_221.htm
never buy
never sell
never be without a Black Sheep.

The SWM/SWP nor GR have any sustainable claim to anything of substance and should stick to selling newspapers.
They have had a year to develop, and have failed the many tests "we" put.

Reclaim The Streets still going on if the weather is as shite as it is now?

by billy Sun May 04, 2003 23:32

Iosaf, Globalise Resistence had nothing to do wih organising rts.
if the weather si really shit it'll happen anyway, just won't be as good i guess

by Hardcore party head Sun May 04, 2003 23:49

The party will definitely happen, no matter what the weather.

Only questions is whether the first sign of a bit of bad weather is enough to scare you off?

If the weather is bad, and the forecast is that it should be pretty O.K., we'll soon separate the real party heads from our lightweight fair weather friends.

by Noone Mon May 05, 2003 00:58

C'mon everybody. Be HARDCORE!! GRRRRRRR.....
