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.

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.

UK energy costs are set to rise again. Labour ministers claim it's due to the price of gas, but that's nonsense, says Paul Homewood: gas prices are flat in real terms. It's all green subsidies.

Jump To Comment: 1Fair play to anyone who does not discriminate on gender-preference grounds, but ... in response to the article above, and lest people feel that this gay marriage issue makes the CCP part of any sort of progressive global justice movement, I feel compelled to inform Indymedia readers that the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CCP) - the New People's Army (NPA) - have included Walden Bello on their hit list for assassination because they feel he is a 'counterrevolutionary'. They have already killed two NGO-types since the hit list came out late last year.
On a personal note, I listened to Bello speak at an anarchist-organised anti-corporate meeting during the protests against the World Bank and IMF in Prague in September 2000. Later a pile of us went for a few beers. From listening to him, chatting over a drink and reading his books I can say he is overtly anti-imperialist, he is specifically anti-US-imperialism, he is anti-corporate and also specifically anti-WTO; he also espouses what I would call radical and useful pro-meaningful-participatory-democracy.
Bello is a member of the Focus On The Global South in the Philippines [see: http://www.focusweb.org/main/html/index.php], which are a full-on anti-corporate NGO, he is also a member of the Transnational Institute [see: http://www.tni.org] - based in Holland, they do excellent research on the specifics of how and why the pro-corporate decision making structures of the EU undermines democracy, erodes public services, destroys the global environment and promotes the global arms trade.
In 2003 Bello won the Right Livelihood Award - in the past Vandana Shiva and Trident Ploughshares (UK) have won this award [see: http://www.rightlivelihood.org/recip.htm].
So while one welcomes gender-preference-equality the world over, I would ask people to be aware of the NPA hit-list before moving towards a love-in with the NPA.

Subject: [Tni-news] TNI Alert: Walden Bello threatened
Sent: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 18:32:01 +0100
Dear subscribers to TNI news,
we feel obliged to inform you of the threat to our fellow, Walden Bello, and hope to have your understanding for using TNI-news list (which is otherwise strictly used for our Bi- weekly news bulletin) to alert you on the danger he faces.
Dear Friends,
We are extremely alarmed at the recent attacks by the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) on Walden Bello, Executive Director of Focus on the Global South. Walden is also a long standing Fellow of the Transnational Institute (TNI) and a current TNI Board Member.
We believe that this threat to Walden's life and to other Filipino activists named as "counter- revolutionaries" in the CPP diagram of December 7, 2004 cannot be ignored. Two of the persons named in the list have already been eliminated - one just a few months ago.
Walden is a lifelong and outstanding activist and writer and is internationally acknowledged for his contribution to the struggle against neo-liberal globalisation and war and to building alternatives are equitable, democratic and pluralist.
We unreservedly condemn violence, terror and assassination as a way of resolving differences and appeal to the CPP to desist from its attacks on Filipino activists and refrain from this destructive course of action.
We agree with Focus on the Global South that these attacks deserve a response from global civil society. We are therefore circulating this widely on TNI's list serves and urge you to add your name to the Focus Statement posted below.
Fiona Dove
TNI Director
