IPCC U-Turn as it Prepares to Start Blaming Humans for Bad Weather Sat Dec 14, 2024 09:00 | Chris Morrison
Up to now the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has largely held the line on not blaming 'extreme' weather on humans. But its latest press release suggests that is about to change, says Chris Morrison.

2025 is the UN deadline for all countries to integrate climate propaganda into their school curriculum. Is this why there's been such a push recently in the UK and elsewhere to green the classroom, asks Steven Tucker.

Environment Agency Offers 40 Summer Internships ? No Whites Allowed Fri Dec 13, 2024 17:48 | Will Jones
The Environment Agency is offering 40 summer internships, but says white people need not apply as the positions are only for people of "diverse" backgrounds in an egregious example of official anti-white discrimination.

Bank bailout is followed up by IMF loan... protest agains that too as the bank was only the key to open the door and the IMF are the robbers.
Ireland will not be degraded to a thrird world country!
Here is a BBC video of the protest at lunchtime today

BBC video of Garda assaulting protesters today
Little giggle and straight to the football.
The Gardai , (the B.B.C. Video says it all .)
They are still licking their way to promotion , typical Hard Men (sic)
Aongus O`Snodaigh was amongst those who broke through the Dails perimeter, some cop violence, people are expressing their anger

Protestors break through Leinster House security
http://breakingnews.ie/ireland/protestors-break-through....html
A number of people taking part in a Sinn Féin protest have managed to break through the security cordon at the gates of Government buildings.
Up to 50 of those taking part in the demonstration today managed to get through the main gates where they remained for a couple of minutes.
Gardaí managed to push back the crowd and they have now rejoined the protest at Merrion Square.

Its not a bailout. They are repeating and repeating that word to con the Irish people.
Its a LOAN with INTEREST due which the irish people will have to pay back, and conditions attached as per usual with the IMF. Most of the money we borrow will be paid straight to German banks so we won't even see it. But we have to pay it back all the same.
FF in collusion with their shady bank advisers gave a bank guarantee under dubious circumstances which I suspect benefitted both parties. I can imagine the conversation went something like this:
"Hey brian, ve stand to lose x billion if ze bank collapses.Accordingly, ve will deposit x / 4 billion in ze swiss bank account if you can somehow indemnify the bank and force ze taxpayers to pay. Ve get our money, you get looked after. Sweet!. And fuck the serfs eh brian? heh heh."
Get real people. This is how the world works. They play the ignorant card top disarm us but these people aren't stupid when it comes to feathering their own nests. You don't see these politicians, bankers or bondholders losing their homes. Just us dumb serfs.
Ganley was tweeting about all this.
He said it was not a bailout. It was more like "bond aid" and there should be a song to match. It should be titled "bleed the world"
Ganley was right on Lisbon. Now that is coming home to roost. We are expendable when it comes to core european interests. These people are only fairweather friends. They don't really care about our welfare at all. The stability of the german and french banks are all that matter. We need to understand this. As for cameron. well we know what he is concerned about. converting the British banks exposure into a long term loan to be paid off complete with interest by the poor serfs in Ireland. Cynical self serving bastards all. So why should we be honourable. We should do what is best for our own citizens not foreign banks.
green party think we should have an election. But only after they do a deal with the IMF and pass the 4 year budget complete with legislation.
My question is: what's the point in having an election AFTER all the important decisions have been cast in stone?
Another scam.
General election NOW!!!
Protest in Government Building grounds
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2010/1122/....html
A group of demonstrators protesting against the Government's handling of the economic crisis forced its way into a security area at Government Buildings in Dublin today.
Some 50 people including Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh, protested outside Government Buildings on Merrion Street at lunchtime, shouting: "Cowen, Cowen, Cowen. Out, out, out!"
BBC News footage showed the Dublin South Central TD caught up in scuffles between the demonstrators and gardaí...

RANT
In light of a childish and thretening behaviour outside the Dail today by a so-called satirist it is time to reflect the lack of actual political intelligent humourous satire at the moment. I am saying this on the back drop of being approached by a guy who I believe is called Dave Mc Savage who turned up at the end of the protest today, not to highlight the jokers inside but to basically take the piss out of 'protester types', whom in this instance he believed to be of republican stock. Well he was met with a few articulate people who enjoy a bit of craic at protests and when questioned on his links with Fianna Fail and the nepotism of RTE and a few other slags he became furious and shouted at one of the group, storming off refereing to him as a stupid little Irish man.
In light of this and the bad coverage of RTE in general at recent protests I think we need to highlight their agenda more! RANT over. Hope this starts a debate on the issue.
Go raibh maith agaibh.
Democracy - the most corruption for the least bribery
here are the People that Brian Lenihan and Brian Cowen are really working for
The companies Goldman Sachs and Rothschild are paid by the Irish government to advise on the bank bailout etc - now we discover both companies are also bondholders in Anglo Irish Bank. So, we have the bondholders also acting as advisors to the State on how to deal with the bondholders and the bank bailouts. Anyone else notice anything wrong with that?
This is what you have to do when the come to takeover your house - the IMF are trying to takeover our house - Brian Lenihan and Brian Cowen are trying to give them the keys

Join hands - WE are MANY - they are but few
Look people I am not an intellect nor claim to be but I am fed up of the running of this country and its consequences as a result. Enda Kenny & co. are just stalling time to await their generous pensions. Can we not do more? We are taking this lying down, we need to to be more proactive like the French! The Government does not even pause to think about us little people!!!! If we accept this we will endure this penalty for a very long time.
lay down while the tiger danced...we've been waiting for the eye-opening collapse..use the interim to educate yourself and build contacts.
Its going to take still more time. The Native Americans used to say you should be planing for 7 generations ahead. We need more of their perspective. Read up on them while you're waiting. You may even have time to read our commentators from the nineteenth century. Davitt springs to mind.
