For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Update from Rossport 5

category mayo | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Saturday July 02, 2005 17:16author by M. Ní Sheighin Report this post to the editors

Focal faighte ó Cloverhill

In Cloverhill prison this morning, July 2nd, Micheál Ó Seighin said that what the 5 men who are in jail want is for the normal technical standards of the oil and gas companies themselves to be applied by Shell. They are not looking for any privileges.

They will not purge their contempt if it means putting people’s lives in danger. They have no contempt for the courts, but human life has a higher value than a High Court injunction.

I bPriosún Cloverhill maidin inniu, 2 Iúil, dúirt Micheál Ó Seighin nach raibh ón gcúigear fear atá sa bpríosún ach go gcuirfeadh Shell i bhfeidhm na gnáthchaighdeáin teicniúla atá ag na comhlachtaí ola agus gáis iad fhéin. Níl said ag lorg aon phribhléid nó aon rud eisceachtúil.

Níl said chun leorghníomh a dhéanamh sa díspeagadh seo más ionann sin agus sláinte muintir an Rois a chur i mbaol. Níl aon dímheas acu ar na cúirteanna, ach tá an bheatha níos tábhachtaí ná urghaire de chuid na hArd-Chúirte.

I hope you and all 5 are well and know that there is plenty of support for you around the country.
Misneach!

Having met some of the Rossport locals like Willie Corduff at the June meeting, I know that they are decent citizens who unfortunately have to go to extraordinary lengths to defend rights to their property while the Irish state grants their rights to Shell/Statoil/Marathon. Not the Rossport 5 should be in prison but the ones who want to deprive them of their rights and who insists on putting the lives of the people in the vicinity of Rossport in danger!
Our thoughts are with you. Our support will stay with you until you're out... and Shell does the decent thing by treating Erris with the respect it deserves and does its refining at sea.

If you're not doing so already, it's time for boycotting the above named companies to hit them where it hurts them most, their purse - especially as Shell's reserves seem to be quite low.

Good luck, we'll be up there as soon as we're back from Edinburgh where we've spread the word of your plight,
Dottie

author by fair play to youpublication date Sun Jul 03, 2005 02:45author address author phone Report this post to the editors

this whole sHELL story is proof that our governments are being taken over by multinationals.

we read about colonialism years ago and now it is creeping into everyones lifes in a new form called globalisation - the corporations taking over our media, our education, our minds, our children, our puppet/muppet governments and they will take over you if you let them, they have already conditionned most of your attitudes and thinking and you havent even noticed in most cases

we all have to take a stand - I feel great respect and sympathy for those 5 people who have accepted to go to jail for the injustice that has been inflicted upon them

And like the McBreatys in Donegal they are doing a huge service to the people of Ireland and I believe the Irish are starting to realise that (based on the levels of support)

4 million of us and only a few hundred of them - lets reweave the social fabric and let them feel the might of people power

STAND UP AND LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD - its quite good fun kicking their asses

For many years the Irish Government has taken advantage of the west. This has gone far enough! The people of Mayo should march on the shell compound and stand up for these men. I suggested on Mid West radio a week ago for a single to be released to raise support and money for the cause. I am glad to see it has been done.

16th November 199511.30am.
Port Harcourt Prison, south-east Nigeria.

Ken Saro-Wiwa, Dr. Barinen Klobel, John Kpuinen, Baribor Bera, Saturday Dobee, Felix Nuate, Nordu Eawoh, Paul Levurah and Daniel Gbokoo are executed.

"I repeat that we all stand before history. I and my colleagues are not the only ones on trial. Shell's day will surely come for there is no doubt in my mind that the ecological war that the Company has waged in the delta will be called to question and the crimes of that war be duly punished." - Ken Saro-Wiwa at his trial.

It took five bungled attempts to hang Ken Saro Wiwa. His final words "What country is this? What are you doing to me?"

"The Ogoni land is one of the most polluted places on the planet with gas fires burning 24 hours a day, fountains of oil pouring into villagers fields, contaminated water, leaking pipelines, pools of sulphur and drainage problems. - The land is so devastated environmentally that fishermen and farmers cannot sustain their lives."

Still see no similarities?

For shame, "Pro Shell"
