The Blob has sunk to new depths in its quest to destroy educational freedom. No wonder, says Randall Hardy. It's only the right to withdraw children from the state system that restrains its worst indoctrinating tendencies.

dublin / summit mobilisations / news report Thursday April 29, 2004 09:19 by Laurence Cox
At a DGN media group meeting last night we agreed (since nothing has been suggested so far) to name Mountjoy Square (NOT the Indymedia Centre) as a gathering point in case of real crisis.

Basically if everything goes pear-shaped people will need somewhere to go that is familiar, not easy to seal off, and not too isolated. The Square itself can of course be closed, but the streets are wide and there is little traffic.

Please circulate this widely. read full story / add a comment

These are two sections from two articles on this subject. I have given the links so that people can read the full pieces.

Protesters Beware Italian Police Incited The Violence At 2001 G8 Summit, Official Inquires Reveal http://www.tompaine.com/feature2.cfm/ID/7099
...'The word "Genoa" became virtually synonymous in the public mind with "violent protestors."

Now it turns out that U.S.-trained police were responsible for the worst of the bloodshed in Genoa but that is not making headlines -- at least not in the U.S.A.

In an official inquiry, police in Genoa have admitted to fabricating evidence against the G-8 activists, deploying provocateurs i read full story / add a comment

During heated exchanges in the Dail yesterday, Bertie Ahern called on Joe Higgins of the Socialist Party to ask anarchists not to travel to Dublin.

Deputy Higgins refused the request.

What planet is Ahern on if he thinks anarchists will bow down to Higgins' request! read full story / add a comment
