The great Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume would have some things to teach today's woke activists, says Prof James Allan: about a mind-independent reality that has no truck with claims of 'my truth'.

offsite link Farmers? Biggest Problems are Green Ideologues, not Climate Change Fri Apr 19, 2024 09:00 | Ben Pile
It's been a wet winter and this is bad news for farmers, says Ben Pile. But with agricultural yields increasing sharply over recent decades, there's no reason to link it to climate change or start catostrophising about it.

Chris Packham has hit back at claims made on GB News that half the world's population could die under Net Zero. But that seems like a fair estimate of the catastrophic harm of deindustrialisation, says Chris Morrison.

Less of this sort of Thing.

A short reflection on the paranoid status of the Irish Government as they prepare for the Sloppy Big Hug of Post May Day European Citizenship of 450,000,000 people, set against the backdrop of the War on Terror and "the Great Satan".

eh Hello there!
believe you know my name.

What's wrong?

I'm logged unto Aras An hUachtarán,
Le Monde, BBC, The Guardian, Indymedia (((I))), the European Comission, Young Fine Gael, Fianna Fail, and search engines all at the same time.
Cool.
& I can find the time to listen to music as well.
Grrrreat.
and smoke cigs.
SMOKEY!

and on the listening is:-

Jordi Savall, viola da gamba maestro!
Sainte Colombe and Tous Les Matins Du Monde, and make that pilgrimage if you can.

A. The Phoenix Park.

I'm going to publish this now,
and in the finest tradition
come back and anotate in the comment
boxes as the weekend continues...

Now Editors feel free to make use of the comment box, but leave it up a while if you would be as kind, "you could always go over the Q&A in the old HTML and make it like more emphatic" and eh...

I'm not going anywhere.

Now I'll just join the free update lists at those accounts, and go look at the eu2004 bertie techboys site.

Meanwhile, Mr Blair (2) is very pissed.
pissed doesn't mean drunk, no it means angry in american english, wow eh how confused can it be, Mr Blair is very pissed off, use of argot, translate for all the members of the Big Sloppy Hug, (and the maltese)

Mr Blair is Angry.

Q. why is the Prime Minister of the UK angry?
A. oh it could be his job, or his vitamin pills,
or it could be the glaringly obvious evidence of all the ingredients of Tyranny, Camp X, Genocide, and Organised Crime in the internationally unrecognised State of Iraq which is presently occupied by the USA.

I'm not going anywhere.
wish I had HTML.

Only 500,000,000 barrels of Oil on this Planet.

Their a precious resource as we await any sign of being given "sustainable development" from the planetary leadership.

There is no perceivable Threat to this Summit, and if there is one, it is because Ireland has so closely associated herself with the current US adminstration and it's highly suspect behaviour in relation to those 500,000,000 barrels of Oil on what is cutely referred to as "our planet".

Mr Nusseibeh - president of al-Quds University - was released without charge after five hours in custody on bail of 5,000 shekels ($1,100).
He was arrested with four Palestinian workers at the campus who police said did not have the proper permit.
Mr Nusseibeh is a prominent campaigner currently working on a peace plan.
$1,100 doesn't equal 1,100€
for some reason not of their making
Israelis find it difficult to change their money
in neighbouring Europe with which The Ancient Palestine has always shared the Mediterranean.
isn't it odd?
get you pissed.
no?

Captain Ziad Khalas of the Iraqi security forces identified the proposed commander of Falluja Killing Fields as the US Marines are now pulling our as Major General Jassim Mohammed Saleh, a veteran of Saddam's republican guard.

"He had Rape Rooms"
George Bush not be confused with George Bush.

You will notice that in the list of cards of most wanted Terrorists of the "they had rape rooms" unacceptable Regime of Iraq dropped on us from a height by
Bush Sons & Ltd Co.
there weren't actually 52.
"not playing on a full deck of cards"
would be an appropriate expression.

In the most wanted Terrorist playing cards issued on Andorra Indymedia there were some missing as well.

I wonder was Major General Jassim Mohammed Saleh, a veteran of Saddam's republican guard, on the card list, hmmmm
maybe
Europe could make a useful sloppy big hugs hundred thousand and four hundred and forty nine thousand [pop up message window on my screen] {you get the same screen as I do?} "you have just been linked to the US Atomic Clock for accurate time keeping"

Bertie, do you and the FF/FG/PDs Ltd Co. get the old tonic / fatigue jabs/pills on the VHI?

Well BUPA aren't giving them 23 million€ so they might just go bankrupt. You could always get a Health Board Doctor instead.

Now might be the time to like change history and the last years of your regime, turn back the clock, undo the past, achieve the impossible, oh-oh
You can't.
That's right, all's done that all's done.
And all's undone that is all undone.

"Hi There!" is copyrighted by the grrrreat
George Bernard Shaw. You may use the phrase "Hi There!" but do be aware he ought be credited as the original author of the versatile work which combines rthymic candence with hopeful vigour and brevity.
Mr Dr Bod Bernard Shaw lived to be very old and was on neither BUPA nor VHI and used the phrase "Hi There!" first during his famous and inspiring moving picture reel message.

andnot a mention of the Global Reclaim May Day thing @ all. You'd think from the tone of it, that the 450,000,000 new citizens of Europe (that figure is getting everywhere isn't it, very versatile combines numeric precision with a deft syllabic cadence) were all over paid, over indulged, listened to crap music, and got driven around in limousines, and looked forward to regular fatigue pills/jabs.

Well they're not.
They are really people you don't know that much about. And they all would love a solid brave couragous pan European (without Burluscunt naturally) declaration or argument about a declaration (with Burluscunt naturally) condemning our fellow SuperPower "oh we're not a superstate honest!"
the U (pronouced _you_)
S (pronounced as in the first letter of Snake)
A (pronounced like Asshole, Antichrist, and the two "eh"s in SATAN.

The religious ones would love it Bertie!
Oh you'd have candles lit for you, and voters waving to you from the aisles.
The children of the Commies would love it too! They'd been wetting themselves, all those SERIOUS misgivings they have about being "absorbed"/"bullied"/"bldugeoned"/"tricked" into the
sure there aint no other show in town lads,
EEC, NATO, EFTA, EC, EU.
what do we call the Western Empire block.

So there you go.
You're going to be brave Bertie.
and you too Pat Cox.
no point in having the little boaties,
if you haven't a cox.
no point in having the balls
if you haven't a cox.
So ye 2 and Romani Prodi,
who's sick to the back teeth of wisdom with Burluscunt, that effin muppet Aznar, and the I assure you very paranoid and dangerous Wookie Bush.

& there!
I didn't mention either the Saudi or the Roosevelts once.
Aren't I improving in the journalistic style with time, I'm going to, so I am, I'm gonna, when the day comes, when I come out of my exile without the to my guts, Bertie, Romani and Pat, to my gut instinct to take a tractor and sliothar and put the fear of Literacy in you.

Now you have my phone number,
if you can't write the declaration,
I will.

Just get it sorted.

My left hand is that of an organist of the European Temple Tradition as we all know, and also the one I normally write and shoot my bow with.

My Left Hand is now damaged as a result of a police attack on protesters after an identified infiltrator joined the group in a narrow street and proceeded to throw objects at the Policia Nacional.
I stood between both protesters and police in the internationally recognised and normal way and attempted mediation.

There are still people in the cordoned area of barcelona behind Policia Nacional Lines in a building we shall call them "hostages". For that is popularly what they are felt to be.
Tension amonst the rightwing elements of barcelonan society has been stoked by reports this morning of a prison riot last night. There is no escape from a prison riot, and there is a lot less indymedia and interested parties looking on.
Bertie, the EU 25 states got relogated to past page 14 in the rightwing press. They might be excited because President Zapatero is in Dublin and thing while the ZP is away the pigs can play.

-Might I stress they are not boar.

I can not vouch for the safety of the hostages, and many people with softer heads than I have been hospitalised,
[ I got two wallops of medium strength 40º from end curve of arm extension so no weight carries from a hyperventilating policeman whose eyes locked with mine just long enough for me to "I assure you" recall his smell at a distance of -"classified"]


The area is surrounded by ordinary residents, many of them old, many with children, almost all immigrants.

The theme of todays MayDay
this years Forum Year 2004
being the demand of immigrants for papers.
To which end all the employer and residence associations came out and joined us awalking. And at nightfall they went home, and the youngsters occupied the square in front of the GPO dancing to drums.

In the spirit of the celts whom I represent, i left an umbrella which I chanced upon perched at the lantern above the door to the BCN G.P.O. with a green cross and of course a white X for like your little friends.

I will of course write more.
but with my right hand.
with my left i will be knitting
bones and tissue
with almost filagree precision
according to an ancient and august art.

Oh But we are not all your little friends.

Now some still remember the last time I was accosted by an under trained and over excited policemen who did not respond to international mediation signals or heavy and obviously professional media witness.

And they will go on remembering it till the synapsis snap.

Tonights little dabacle,
mirrors equally orchestrated violence all over the continent as police tired of following around people for a whole shift, decide to end it with a few whallops.

Now I had thought to have gone through this during MayDay RTS in Dublin.

Over excited and aggressive police men don't win either Community Chest or Chance Cards with older than he appears Mr O' as if or his pals.
Oh no.
It gets gone over again and again.
It ends up in newspaper, official report, TV news, and public witness. It stokes resentment and social division. It serves the image and funding of the Police forces no good at all.

It ends in Heavy Weight Political and Judicial Costs and Diplomatic Sour Plums.
But of course the Policia Nacional de España are unique-ish in that they don't get punished.

¿do they?

Now I'm going to drink Whisky, smoke some spliffs, take a draught of very special honey type substance I am privelaged to keep, and go keep all my little eyes on my (comrades/brothers and sisters of faith) who are behind that line. Because if they're there, then they are either Comrades or Brothers or Sisters in Faith, the traditional Spanish/South American type if you're wondering.
The _roman_ one, just like the noblemen.

Nice and Simple.
They could be both.
comrades and so and on.

-now we remember the "geilt" don't we?

=I have just accomplished the resonance of the GPO.
with a surreal umbrella.
no civil war in that Bertie or Michael.

woof woof woof.

Many people noticed our long walk around town,
"for our mammies of South America who are we assure you right now and tomorrow and next week facing much worse that any of us, as they try and do the unavoidable Stop This System so the leaders will do their best to reform it, becuase it is an emergency situation globally, and you're not going to see it all on TV at least this year".

"for our mammies caravans"

And many perceptive people noticed that we were accompanied at all times by a small flock of birds, several seagulls and a lot of pigeons of unusal mottle colour.
It is now dark, and the time of other wingèd creatures, such as the mosquito, fly, bat and others whose names are no longer in the bestiary.

I have made myself clear,
haven't I?
good.
