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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9The Burmese people need guns and ammunition and they need to fight for their freedom.
This petition campaign and messages of solidarity mean nothing and achieve nothing practical whatsoever.
Are the Burmese junta going to listen? Please?!
Any petitions sent to the Burmese government are simply going to be ashes in the fire.
Of course Gen. Than Shwe isn't going to tremble about a book in Dublin, but for some people, signing up will be an intro to human rights concerns, & Daw Aung San Suu Kyi may be pleased to see how far awareness of her cause goes. People signing will likely be able to pick up info on supporting the democratic campaigners, Free Burma Rangers, & the Karen people. We should find out more about who's pulling the strings in Burma - in some regions, dirty old Big Oil is involved.
Do NOT back this woman, she is a stoop for the Freemarket US, the reason for this situation is that China and India, which Burma is situated between, are retaining the military in power to keep the USA out of Burma. The US is using this as an excuse to undermine the Burmese nation to open it for exploitation. This women is not for socialism or freedom but for western business interests, do not believe anything you read about her.
There is already plenty of exploitation in Burma, with oil companies like Total-Elf in bed with the generals, & indigenous peoples, eg, the Karen, killed & displaced.
Sensible advice there from L’il Lulu regarding awareness awakening for people who may be coming into the rights sector for the first time . As part of its training for activists Amnesty organizes workshops which offer support and encouragement for schools and colleges to establish such awareness raising programs . The case of Aung San Suu Kyi could certainly serve as a very useful introduction for such a program that would typically lead on to modules for the improvement of knowledge and understanding of human rights issues and the development of skills for planning, organising and running an event etc. An excellent idea.
Drumming up popular support to overthrow yet another oil rich nation. What's next? maybe a tirade on central african oil rich countries? maybe our boys need to go in there and monkey about a bit...oh... wait!. Or perhaps Gabon. I think they found some oil there recently too. Any opinions on the corrib gas fields Harv?

I have learned to have healthy suspicions when the MS media are all gung ho behind something.
This lady is easy on the eyes and a great poster girl for polarising public opinion.
Since when have western interests cared about how a government treats it's people?
There's likely more to this than meets the eye.
I'm reserving judgement until I have researched it more.
Councillors in every town hall in Ireland should be encouraged to set up similar petition points around the country. It's a good idea; maybe a national campaign is needed to take it further.
