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.

The home of a young German family was raided late July, the husband of an eff
activist/communicator/gender rights advocate were subject to arrest and summary imprisonment under
the charge of 'intellectual terrorism'. her computer was seized and her children frightened by
armed police officers.
She has contributed on the issues of migrancy, gender, feminism and cyber equality
over many years.
The entire server of so36 was brought down in the run up to the G8.
The message of her shock and hurt on behalf of her children and the inability to use her computer
system has been altered into her own sense of failure to attend meetings and continue
her work in the absence of her files.
Solidarity and mind the little ones Anna.
On July 15th 2007, President Gloria Arroyo signed The Human Security Act' which puts
people on a 'watchlist', two women found themselves unable to leave Manila.
Others named on the watchlist include a novelist and a rights advocate:- Ninochka Rosa
and Judith Mirkineon.
Dr Annalise Enrile was physically stopped from boarding a plane, the initiative by
Arroyo (currently under investigation for gulags and crushing of dissent) is
to tie the Phillipines in to the Global post 9/11 terror laws. However, novelists
and writer/activists are finding terror laws used against them, much like the MJetropolitian
police did against the climate camp at Heathrow.

The article above contains a link to the gnu/linux petition:

I mean seriously Chris, I can't believe you are still spouting this sexist existentialist crap about women using technlogy differently to men all over Indymedia three years after you first started to spam us with your rubbish? A spoon is technology, do you use it differently to men? Given society may construct role playing in terms of technolgy, who gets educated with in it and expectations of skill levels; but the idea that women have an essentially different means of relating to technology is a level of horse shit worth calling. Its as if you have swallowed all the reactionary bollox people spout about the role of women and tried to use it as a starting point for a progressive politics. I mean, duh.
If ye are a girlie and join the linuchix site (which I did) the techie bit is being explained, exploited
and a new magazine is being created for women in activism. if ye want the L'oreal bit, cannot
help am reading the stuff at the minute. thats the thing with women in tech, the majority
come from activist backrounds and dont go all nerdy on the details.
Girls can join the grrls only list and help develop the site, some of the women are
working in this area years- I am a new one, btw:- the tech is treated of in the eclectictech
modules and the reports are on the newswire. as one article writer pointed out to the
readers ages ago, we use tech differently and therefore it needs to be adapted to that usage
in a friendly, and easy to understand manner. (for people like me anyhow).
so... There is a new magazine/journal and tech advice going out for girls use.
the link is in the article above. also women tend to co-operate and join many lists
so many of us would have met through vounteering for imc (outreach/feminism/eff)
and other such concerns... (they do get a bit pissed with the male domination, thus
FLOSS was developed by a group of women, thats a free open software system btw)
like the fsflink above in the comments- people are asked to sign against Microsoft vista
and keep the software systems open.
C Murray, could you please explain - in your own words - how it was 'developed and adapted for female users'?
The Freesoftware foundation (FSF) have press released a number of articles relating to use
of gnu and linux systems; and condemning the Microsoft Vista system. The mailing list
for users is at:- http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-fsf
The GLPv3 license was launched in June 2007:
First statement / Microsoft cannot declare itself exempt from the requirements of GPLv3.
This is an article on anti-competitive issues with Microsoft/Novell
info:- brett@fsf.org
The women's groups above in the article are using linux and the FLOSS system
which they have developed and adapted for female users, FLOSS was developed
by Genderchangers who first appeared on this newswire with their Ungdomshuset
Protest and solidarity on International Women's Day, they are a member of the
European Feminist Forum as affinity group:- http://www.europeanfeministforum.org
Second Statement:/An international Coalition of environment and social justice groups
has united to condemn Microsoft Vista and called for like minded groups to adopt the free
software systems:- http://freesoftwarefreesociety.org
