The Left Has Been Hijacked by Narcissists Sat Feb 22, 2025 07:00 | Steven Tucker
The hysterical reaction of some women to Trump of sterilising themselves validates the findings of a recent medical paper that the Left is being hijacked by narcissists who are sinking its causes with the public.

?It?s Time to Scrap the Asylum System? Fri Feb 21, 2025 17:17 | Will Jones
It's been exasperating to watch as, in defiance of the wishes of Western electorates, the cultural make-up of our countries is radically transformed. It's time to scrap the asylum system, says Lionel Shriver.

Germany's 'firewall' against the AfD is set to saddle voters with the same pro-migration Leftoid Government they're desperate to get rid of. When will the Right realise the Left has them over a barrel, asks Eugyppius.

Trump?s Plan for Gaza Was a Stroke of Genius. His Plan for Ukraine, Not So Much Fri Feb 21, 2025 11:00 | Ian Rons
Sometimes Trump's mercantilist thinking is so radical as to be wildly, crazily brilliant, as with the Gaza Riviera plan. But on Ukraine it's letting him ? and the West ? down, says Ian Rons.

Is that right?
Dubsky is a member of Greenpeace? I dont recall them supporting his big courtcase for hitting the warplane at Shannon. Did they pay his fine. He did pay his fine?
If my memory serves me correctly he said he wouldnt pay it but then he would have gone to jail like Mary Kelly, the Pitstop Ploughshares or Fintan Lane.
No I cant recall him going to jail can you? No that I think going to jail is the best tactic but if you say you on national TV that you are not going to pay the fine then if you want to keep your credability you would got to jail.

Well Ms. or Mr. "Required"... so nice of you to remember me. :-)
I didn't hit the warplane at Shannon Airport, though I probably should have ( See http://www.indymedia.ie/article/29109 ). Friends and fellow travellers helped me pay my fine, and I never received any donations from Greenpeace or any other NGO.
The original trial in Tulla District Court was a good one. The appeal before the Circuit Court was a waste of time. I've posted about it and others have too many times before. I could have continued the case to a higher court again -- the judge, for example, relied in his judgment on an "immediacy clause" in the Criminal Damage Act lawful excuse defence which doesn't exist anymore.
But by then I was already living in France (now in the Netherlands), and anyway, I wouldn't be sure anymore what exactly I would be fighter for if I carried on that legal path (to stop US military overflights and refueling, or to clear my name?). I think that if you find yourself doing something "to keep your credability", and if it doesn't also serve a clear campaign objective, then maybe its time to take a break and think it over.
