Who are these 'professional rioters' who came over to Dublin to plan a direct confrontation with the Guards. I dont know who they are but their tactics and methods were hopeless at Ashtown Gate. ... read full story / add a comment

in Geneva the same condemnation of black tactics from the mainstream /rightwing press only in Irl the condemnation comes from the so called people . here 2 peices written by pink'n'silver bloc and black bloc shows the commitment to each other against the state's repression at that time and all of you on saturdays demo should take pride in what happened even if you dont like some tactics Hey we are all in this together and should respect each others ways of doing things they are long but really worth reading ... read full story / add a comment

I have been thinking about the mayday protest for a while now, particularly the confrontation with the gardai. Yet while I can think of plenty of negative results of the black bloc's decision to try force their way through the police lines, I cant think of ONE good thing that came from it. Can anyone out there give me one reason why the day's events would have done less good if the anarchists HADN'T done that? In other words, what was the point? Can anyone give me one good result? And please, I'm not looking to start an argument -I was there too getting soaked with the watercannon, and I'm sure some of the gardai were heavy handed, AND i've nothing against anarchism but that's not the point. How in god's name did this decision contribute to the various causes we were protesting about more than it hindered them? ... read full story / add a comment

Learning from prior experience in both Dublin and abroad, the Irish manage to pull off a successful EU summit, hold a street party, have a protest, with no serious injuries, damage, or rain. Quite dissapointing really, and a little disturbing! ... read full story / add a comment

I thought people might be interested in the following pieces which refer to the police infiltrating the Genoa protests to start trouble. They actually admited to doing this. Orla 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 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

Fellow activists, Since the Zapatista declaration in 1994 and the French public sector workers strike in 1995 we have witnessed and taken part in a new social movement . The movement has grown exponentially and deepened from the 60,000 that shut down the WTO in Seattle 1999 to the millions that marched across the globe on February 15th last year. Our strength has been our unity together in our common outrage and desire to change this incredibly corrupt and unequal society. We are united in our desires for a world without war a world where the resources currently spent on military will be spent on schools and hospitals, a world without borders where all immigrants are welcome and a world without poverty. ... read full story / add a comment

“…another truth about fortress continents: being on the inside may be better than being locked out, but it's no guarantee of equal status.” - Naomi Klein. The existing policies of the Irish govt. to safeguard the rights of migrant workers and their families are "deficient and lacking in scope." - Human Rights Commission. The govt. says that the exploitation of migrant workers in Ireland is not a major problem, but this report reveals hidden levels of exploitation at the heart of our economy - including employers who are household names and considered "pillars" of their communities. - Prime Time Investigates, Monday, 26 April, RTE1, 9.30pm ... read full story / add a comment
