The Covid Inquiry is Actively Suppressing Scientific Evidence Sun Feb 09, 2025 09:00 | Dr Andrew Bamji
The Covid Inquiry is being led by the wrong experts (lawyers) who are asking the wrong questions of the wrong people. It's not only ignoring scientific evidence but actively suppressing it, says Dr Andrew Bamji.

A Letter to Ireland,
''...A living Constitution requires a ‘living’ President, who is responsive and proactive in nurturing our legal evolution. This duty is pivotal in the Constitution, where on one hand the President must scrutinise every Bill before it is signed into law, and refer it to the Supreme Court if it appears doubtful. On the other hand, the President is also vested with the duty to ‘promulgate’ your laws, or put the law into effect by formal declaration. Reference to the Supreme Court has only happened three times in the history of the State, and never during the current Presidency. Yet, many laws have reached the courts after being passed, and were found to be unconstitutional, at great cost to the victims of these unjust laws....''

From the Newswire: Oh what a lovely Democracy - Labour, Greens (not definite yet) Sinn Fein, FG and RTE (by the just about plausibly deniable sin of omission) all lining up behind Bertie's Mary as the first real chance of a national debate and election where tweedle-dum tweedle-dee civil war political lines are consigned to the past is flushed down the toilet by a cowardly set of self regarding opposition parties putting dreams of power tomorrow ahead of the battle of political ideas today and ahead of the constitutional right of citizens to vote for their President. Is rendering those wishing to participate in a supposed democratic system invisible what a national broadcaster is for? Wasn't that how it worked in Russia and how it works in North Korea?
The Labour press office line is that the Labour Party opinion was and is that once Eamonn Ryan pulled out - the process was closed bar the shouting. No whip in operation but an expectation of closed ranks on this from the Press Officer I spoke to. Lovely - It seems that the Labour Party are only too happy to close the process on behalf of the Country. They know the arithmetic and they should and deserve to take the lions share of the blame for a cynical suspension of democratic processes.

INDYMEDIA IRELAND INTERVIEW WITH VINCENT SALAFIA
Indymedia.ie: It has been said by Joe Higgins TD amongst others that the Irish Presidency
should be abolished - would you agree or does it serve or can it serve a
purpose?
Vincent Salafia: Absolutely not. However, I would say that the presidency as currently exercised
needs to be radically changed. It is a core constitutional office, rather than
window dressing for the State. The scrutiny and promulgation of legislation,
and consideration of whether to refer to the Supreme Court, is a vitally
important check and balance.
Indymedia.ie: Why did you take the sudden decision to run for President?
Salafia: It wasn’t a sudden decision in the sense that I had been considering it for some
weeks before I went public. In fact, I was in touch with the Green Party before
Eamon made his move and decided not to oppose him. When he dramatically pulled
out I decided to take the plunge.
Indymedia.ie: What do you say to accusations that this is purely a publicity stunt?
Salafia: Campaigning for any office involves publicity. In fact, it lies at the core of
any election campaign. I see this race as a logical continuation of the path
already chosen. Furthermore, I would not have entered the race if I did not
feel it is one I can credibly participate in and potentially win.

"Even before we set up the peace camp at Shannon we suspected that the US Government would use Shannon airport to transport its captives to Guantanamo Bay.
After a lot of digging, and some luck, we now have a lot more than suspicion, and YOU have to help us to hold the Irish govt to account for this. A watered down version of this appeared on page six of the Sunday Business Post today... I was expecting a bit more bite.. so here's a bit more of what's being hidden."
In the phony war on terror, thousands of people have been taken prisoner and tortured with no evidence, charges or trial. The arrests make good PR for Bush, the admissions of error are 'less newsworthy'....
