Citizen Simon: 12/1/10 - 1/1/11
http://citizensimon.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 24, 2010. Assange founded the WikiLeaks website in 2006. He has published material about extrajudicial killings in Kenya, toxic waste dumping in Africa, Church of Scientology manuals, Guantanamo Bay procedures, and banks such as Kaupthing. Most notoriously-he published classified details about US involvement in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He has recently been targeted, with a major attempt made to supress Wikileaks, and to sideline and smear him with what remain. Ireland has not ta...

Citizen Simon: Mahon Report - tell me something I dont already know
http://citizensimon.blogspot.com/2012/03/mahon-report-tell-me-something-i-dont.html
Saturday, March 24, 2012. Mahon Report - tell me something I dont already know. 15 years, at least €300,000,000 and still no-one is really held accountable. Tell me something I don't know. Ahearn is dishonest - we saw that when we joined the PfP without a referendum and Lisbon after a second go. That Flynn is a corrupt crook, we saw that with him - and his family. In Mayo. The guy's nickname in training college was Crackers. That Albert Reynolds abused power - quelle surprise. We cannot trust the legal s...

Wednesday, August 10, 2011. UK riots, Irish lessons. In the UK and in Ireland hope for many young people has been taken away, yet at the same time the materialist celebrity culture is fed to them 24 hours a day through advertising by any means necessary. As Shaun Bailey, a conservative said, these kids, in the last 15 years, know all about their rights but do not realize their responsibilities. We no longer judge by color of skin or content of character, we do so by consumerism. We see bankers bailed out...

Wednesday, October 5, 2011. A hard one to write - David Norris, Nien Danke. I have always liked David Norris as a person, but as a candidate there are questions that public officials need to answer - And watching the Prime Time interview, I was not happy with the way he deflected and avoided valid questions on correspondence to do with the letters written in support of Ezra Nawi, a former boyfriend of David Norris - and let us not forget this - convicted of statutory rape. As an atheist I have to say for...

Citizen Simon: 3/1/11 - 4/1/11

Monday, March 7, 2011. A New wave of Nepotism. Keep an eye on your local councils. Lets see how many family members are appointed to council seats now vacated by elected TDs moving to the Dail. In fairness it has been pointed out to me that Labour want to avoid this -. The Labour Party alledgedly are trying to stop nepotism in the party, but after the FG deal we will have to wait and see. Already the Michael Healy Rae seat on Kerry coco seems to be going to retired TD, and father, Jackie. It is deeply in...

Saturday, August 28, 2010. Political Funding and more expenses. It is all very well and good to talk about limiting registered. Contributions by companies and individuals to political parties but there is a reason the old parties agreed to this system. Now the Irish tax payer is to fund political parties on the basis of how well they did in the last election, that makes it a lot harder for new, small parties and to a lesser extent sitting independents. Political parties received a total of €13,603,...

Monday, November 29, 2010. Well, lie after lie - mistruth after mistruth and the usual bending of words have gone on, and there is still no general outcry in Ireland. The banks will be saved, but the state is in financial trouble due to this. Fianna Fail, in dealing with the ECB and the IMF have created a scorched earth policy to ensure that any succesive administration will be forced into at least 5 years of unpopular decisions over which they will have little or no control. Thursday, November 11, 2010.
