A brave protester known as Squeak is down in a tunnel at Rath Lugh in a surprise move in the campaign. She has firmly embedded herself beneath the path of the road. The tunnel is a the result of massive undertaking over the past few months by protesters opposed to the construction of the M3 motorway in the Gabhra Valley. This is an eleven minute cutdown of the video released by Tara Pixie earlier. You can see the full half hour video which shows another confrontation at the national monument between the activists, road workers and gardai on Tara Pixie’s LiveVideo site
Statement on behalf of the Rath Lugh Direct Action Camp
21st century souterrain
The Protectors at Rath Lugh have planned a Direct Action method used for the first time on protest sites in Ireland. They have dug a tunnel under the route of the M3 directly in front of the Rath Lugh promontory fort in the Gabhra Valley, Co Meath in Ireland. The Protectors intend to occupy this tunnel and seal themselves inside indefinitely to prevent construction traffic from passing overhead. They are laying their very lives on the line to protect and preserve Tara’s
landscape from the destruction wrought by their own Government.
The Protectors said: “We want to draw attention to the continued erosion of the esker by passing construction traffic, hence damaging the base and foundation of the Rath.”
This is a continuation of their non-violent direct action. The tunnel acts like a souterrain giving the occupant protection and making it very difficult for the enemy to enter.
Ok, I’m not sure what that headline means, I just made it up and it sounded good! Well, this is all about Jack Nicholson’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton. This viral has being flying around Youtube fro the last few days and naturally it gets parodied (2nd clip) and questioned (3rd clip). Has Jack been a bad boy?! You can decide.
This all reminds me of that other Hilary in Hollywood story (well scandal really) as documented on here on Hillcap and all around the web.
In the style of Will I Am’s Yes We Can tune backing Obama,
comes a remake closer to home from Morgan C. Jones and friends at The 1989 Show. It was time for Bertie to get some treatment…
I was sitting in a recording studio one day wondering…”if they can get a song out of a relatively inexperienced newcomer like Obama…imagine what I could do if I used the honey words of the greatest statesman of them all, Bertie Ahern?” Imagine no more.
I’ve just finished watching the second installment of ‘Steal This Film‘. Put this on top of the first part and it is a damn good look at the ‘culture of copying’ which has existed (as a form of communication) since the dawn of time. I met with one of the makers behind this worthy project at Picnic Network last year and was very impressed with the idea behind the film. It does the necessary job of putting into motion pictures the issues surrounding copyright which are being written about so much these days by forward thinking scholars. The first part focuses largely on the debate surrounded piracy online and in particular the story of The Pirate Bay. This recently released second part takes a closer look at the history of ‘copying’ with good sections on the printing press (which was accused of being black magic on it’s dawning!) and on the rise of the internet from it’s inception as a reaction to Sputnik.
Anyway I won’t ruin the film, that would be worse than stealing it…so go ahead and download it!
Everyone starts with the best intentions. Then things start to get cramped. Then you notice your neighbour has more oil than you. Before long, war is waged, nukes are dropped, revolutions are fought and terrorists are doing your dirty work, before turning on you…
