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.

Non C'est Non: Sarkozy's Irish visit met with protests

category national | eu | news report author Monday July 21, 2008 23:56author by Paula Geraghtyauthor email mspgeraghy at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

Anti Globalisation protestors took to Government buildings to highlight the WTO impact on Irish farming, workers and human rights and fisheries. Each group was divided and coralled into three different sections in a state move to institutionalise supposed differences in those who articulated a NON in the Lisbon Treaty referendum.

He came, he saw, kissed Cowen and left after a whirlwind 5 hour tour.
The IFA, Caeuc with it's may affiliated organisations and Fisheries groups came out in force today to Merrion Square to help Sarkozy understand the meaning of Non.

For those who weren't there a taste of events.

The IFA - the largest contingent - did NOT turn out to protest about the Lisbon treaty. They were there to SUPPORT Sarkozy in his oppositon to the Mandelson line at the WTO talks. In fact Sarkozy clapped in support of Padraig Walsh of the IFA at the reception when he spoke against the WTO. The farmers, as usual, are primarily interested in their own well being.

It was great to see the Tara activists there with all the other anti Lisbon groups. I sometimes think that the Tara activists are the real patriots in this country when it comes to protecting our identity and heritage. The EU will eventually want to destroy any symbols such as Tara if they are to go for full EU "integration" in the not too distant future.

does one honestly think that the the political establishment will have a rerun of Lisbon coming up to euro elections 2009.

given the fact that this year there will be 440million in public cutbacks.
with 1.5 billion in cut backs next year.

5o% of labour voters opposed the referendum

that in December the Czech government will host eu presidency

message is loud and clear Lisbon is dead.

You are our hope because you are few, so you can speak together, and contact yourselves, without media.

In France, we have propaganda and it works quite enough in part of people that doesn't imagine that communication is a whole (or whore ) job.

Examples of Propaganda we have, actually, in France :

TV messages, telling best about actual politique of purchasing power.
People going to meet us, on beach, to sing the praises of Sarkozy'politique. (I have heard)

Call "modernism" what is from Middle Ages. ... etc...

I notice one of the posts at the above French web site address (part of Tue Jul 29, 2008 10:16 post) states:

"It (the no vote for Lisbon Treaty) arrived like a courted woman says no; so, why is it is necessary to insist?"

"A good gentleman understands these things well (but not our Mr Sarkozy).

"If one insists, one generates unwanted results."

Well said!!

Sarkozy Comes To Dublin - Tyranny On The Street
Footage recorded the Day Sarkozy came to Dublin, people, Gardai and politicians
The strong Gardai presence can be clearly seen, always quick to say you don't have a right to do this and you don't have a right to do that but they are the ones acting unlawfully.

This is just loopy- Luxembourg and Spain? Exactly when did they have a referendum on Lisbon?

Perhaps our deceptive friend means the EU constitution? A few more countries voted on that one (Ireland never got a chance)...

And comparing the trade situation of Ireland and a country which is subject to sanctions? what on earth is that about?
