Hi Folks,
Dublin and London Catholic Workers have issued the above flyer for the visits of the British Queen (May 17-20) and U.S. President/ Commander in Chief Barack Obama (May 23 & 24).
These two states are ten years into wars on the peoples of Afghanistan and Iraq, in which Ireland has played a significant role providing Shannon Airport as a refueling hub for invading U.S. forces. We know through the recent revelations WikiLeaks that Shannon Airport also provided a stopover for torture flights to Guantanamo.
Obama comes to Ireland around the first anniversary of the arrest of Bradley Manning, accused of releasing this footage of a U.S. massacre in Iraq http://www.collateralmurder.com/
Bradley has spent the last year being tortured in U.S. military custody in the hopes of breaking him so he will deliver Julian Assange. Bradley has refused to be broken Bradley's maternal grandfather was a Dubliner, the last place Bradley was not in custody, or in a war zone....was Shannon Airport, Ireland. We sent Bradley through our country to this war, let's bring him back!
The visits of the Queen and Obama are very much a changing of the imperial guard, Ireland's old and new colonisers passing each other. For Catholic Workers one of the central theological questions is are you coming out of empire or are you heading into empire..."you busy being born or busy dying!" (b.Dylan). See link below for further explanation...
http://www.jesusradicals.com/book-review-come-out-my-pe...rook/
Over the next couple of weeks the Catholic Worker will be involve in spontaneous and organised nonviolent street demonstrations challenging the ongoing Irish complicity in U.S. and British wars on the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Both Bradley and Julian are looking at spending a lifetime (and possibly being killed) in jail for releasing footage that exposes the rue nature of these wars Ireland has been involved in for over a decade. These men have risked their liberty on the belief, that if only we knew the truth we would act. In not us, who? If not now, when?
All CW events, like the movement itself, are based on nonviolence, inclusivity / hospitality, mutuality, respect for the faiths and non-faiths of others
See ya on the streets!

With links to the flyers and a 'share' button for all you social networkers.
a thought has come to mind, could we encourage staff at Dublin Castle. to assist Mrs Windsor to choke on her meal. tell her that the emergency phone lines are down. to qoote the words of Michael Collins while he was in Dublin castle.
I think we should insist on her going down to the Kingdom and paying homage and tribute to the resident King Puck on his pedestal in Kilorglin.
Its only good manners. She wants her majesty acknowleded, she should reciprocate. When in Rome......genuflect.
As the U.S. Grand Jury on WikLeaks/ Julian Assange breaks cover and the Guardian newspaper settles into its dual role of the "Pravda of the Brit liberal left" and attack dog of the U.S. Feds....the Irish prepare for a change of shift of their imperial masters.

Within a few short days, the British monarch will visit followed by a U.S. President Barack "talks like Jesus, kills like Herod" Obama Love Fest in Dubln town.
Standing in O'Connell St. yesterday watching the Dublin City Council remove every trash can from the street, while trying to enforce their harsh anti-political bill posters "anti-litter"/ (more like anti-civil liberties) regulations was worth the price of admission alone! Made more ironic by the fact that they have in one swoop criminalised the very founding act of the state itself...the putting up of a bill poster "The Proclamation" that kicked off the insurretction of Easter 1916.
I spent the day offering flyers to folks and having conversations on the forthcoming visits of Bitish Royal Monarch and the U.S. Commander in Chief, the wars they are leading and how Ireland is co-operating at Shannon Airport with these decade long kill fests, the heroism of Bradley Manning and Julian Assange and what knd of solidarity we can muster for them.
An off duty soldier from the Irish Army came up and shook my hand. He said he recognised me from a file he had perused while he was deployed at Shannon Airport. He seemed very sympathetic. Other folks in the street also recalled our plowshares action in 03, always in a positive light.
This coming Monday's "Radical Rosary Mystery Tour" is building well with a good crop of CW's, post Catholics, lapsed Catholics, athiests and a high school Buddhist.
Whose planning to come so far includes........ Joe Black (music), Paul O'Toole (music), Robbie Synott (music/ Irish language), Mairitin (Irish language and rosary familarity, although his wife Andre is expecting a baby any day), Colm Roddy (Ireland's best known solo vigil person), Con Carol, Dave D (filming), John Fitz (formerly anti sanctions on Iraq), Ben (Iraq combat veteran), Brendan (my brother)........should be great......route is still be fine tuned.....nailing the visuals today...
All good
I'll be downtown most of today/ Friday...if ya'd like to connect...................on ths project, on Manning or Assange solidarity or anti-war stuff generally.... text or call me 087 918 4552...and we'll hook up!!!

for immediate release
‘Radical Rosary Mystery Tour’ crosses Dublin to protest queen, Obama
FORMER member of the SAS, the Legion of Mary and the Shannon Five will be among the walkers on Monday in a ‘Radical Rosary Mystery Tour’ against the queen’s visit to Ireland.
The walking tour of Dublin, on the eve of the visit, will be led by an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe with the slogan: "No queen but Mary Queen of Heaven -- single mother, refugee, role model for a revolutionary!”
The tour will make a number of stops around the city to mark “joyful, glorious and sorrowful mysteries”, according to organiser Ciaron O’Reilly, one of the Shannon Five who damaged a US navy plane at Shannon Airport in 2003 and were subsequently acquitted by a Dublin jury.
Sites will include “sorrowful mysteries” at the Central Bank and Irish Aviation Authority, “glorious mysteries” at the statues of Jim Larkin and Phil Lynott, and “joyful mysteries” at a drug-treatment centre and among the immigrant businesses of Moore Street.
“The routine at each stop will be short reflection connecting the site to the specific ‘mystery’ and a song or a recitation relevant to the site,” O’Reilly said. “Then those who are into the Rosary can recite a decade, and those who feel uncomfortable can begin the procession to the next stop.”
Ben Griffin, who served with the SAS in Iraq and then refused a second tour of duty, will take part in the tour. Griffin now works as a volunteer at the Giuseppe Conlon Catholic Worker House in north London, and will be in Ireland as a guest of the Irish Anti-War Movement to protest the royal and US-presidential visits.
“I’ll be in Ireland to support people working for peace and independence and trying to stop the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Griffin said. Griffin has been subject to a gag order from the British ministry of defence for speaking out against the wars.
The Radical Rosary Mystery Tour starts on Monday, May 16th, at 6pm at the Four Courts on Dublin’s north quays.
For further information contact Ciaron O’Reilly: 087 918 4552
I would like to suggest that when these visitations from our two emperors have been completed perhaps the CW could organize a series of exorcisms at the places that are being defiled, Croke Park etc.
Obama echoes Richard Nixon on WikiLeaks prisoner
Bob Egelko
San Francisco Chronicle May 13, 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first time President Obama was publicly asked about Bradley Manning, the soldier accused of disclosing government secrets to WikiLeaks, his answer was reminiscent of George W. Bush.
The second time - when he declared Manning guilty without a trial - it was more like Richard Nixon.
Manning, a 23-year-old Army private, is charged with divulging hundreds of thousands of classified documents, including war logs from Afghanistan and Iraq and State Department diplomatic cables.
Until his transfer in late April to a military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., Manning had been held for nine months at the Marine brig in Quantico, Va. Here is how attorney David Coombs, the only person allowed unmonitored visits, described his confinement there:
Held in an isolation cell for 23 hours a day; stripped of his clothing every night, purportedly for his own protection, and given a coarse smock to wear; required to stand naked at some roll calls; prohibited from sleeping between 5 a.m. and 8 p.m. and required to respond to guards' queries every five minutes; also awakened and required to respond at night whenever guards couldn't see his face.

Ciaron O'Reilly is being interviewed today/ Sunday 12 noon as part of an anti-war panel on Near FM about the following project
Dublin is presently under a massive security clampdown, heaps of Garda are deployed on the streets, there have been pe-emptive arrests north and south of the border, areas where Queen Liz 2 is planning to go are sealed off.
Catholic Worker and friends will be on the streets of Dublin over the next week, challenging two heads of two empires that have involved Ireland in two wars that have gone for over 10 years killing over a million Iraqis and Afghanis.

Well done. A revolutionary gospel. Expect to be crucified.
Walk went really well, thanx to the great punk rock Marian visuals ........and also all the music from Joe Black.
Davey D should have a vid up on the net before too long.
Iraq combat veteran Ben Griffin spoke powerfully outside the gates of Dublin Castle........... a site that saw a lot of torture in its day.
Joe Black reminised at the Phil Lynott statue..as we were outside the AIB some plainclothes cops snatched a young fella...so i gave a running commentary on how state resources are deployed to protect the wholsale theft of the rich and pursue the poor
...the guy getting cuffed seemed appreciative.
Good scene outside the Aviation Authority that has channeled 4,000 young Americans to their deaths and 20,000 to lives with injuries where they will never walk or talk again...and of course 1 million Iraqi dead...mostly women and children.
We ran into a lone kilted anti-Royal protester with a decorated pram and his child at the Larkin statue..
Joe played "The Welcome" at police lines at Parnell St......and we ended with a joyous mystery at the entrance of the nearby Maternity Hospital....where people are busy beiing born....no telling what revolutionary reinforcement came into the workd last night......no help from the Irish state tho....as they have cancelled checkups on 500 pregnant women as part of their security precautions for the Royal Visit....go figure?
Dublin city centre this morning is in security lock down...weird oppressive vibe..ghost town...the self censorship of the colonised is at its height ...double decker buses crammed with cops.
...Catholic Worker will keep mobile today with our "NO QUEEN but mary queen of heaven.." visuals...."Remember Gerry Conlon and all Vicitms of empire" and "Free Bradley manning and all Imriosned War Resisters!"

Talking to an exchange student today
Apparently they got schooltime off to all watch the queens visit on RTE
So much for education.
time off learning for some nice propaganda
Get 'em while they're young.
I guess they got a nice dose of loaded words like "sinister" , "Missile" , "violent" describing protesters in the 6 o'clock news too. Hope they had an enlightened english teacher who took some class time out from their course to teach them about how biased language is used in the newspapers to convey a non neutral viewpoint!!
