Life In A Kleptocracy – Bankerland (Formerly Known As Ireland) 2015

By Dublin Eileen: Repressive regimes creep up on people. The water of oppression starts cold and degree by degree the temperature is ratcheted up, until it’s boiling and people are suffering horribly.  Many ‘nice’ people cant bear to look at the reality of it. They avert their eyes to it’s manifestations and say ‘it could never happen here’.
Those who point it up are called dissidents. They and their children are bullied first by media and then by the police force, who protect the oppressors and stroke the vanity of minion politicians(IMHO). In some cases some police personnel, acting on their own initiative, have threated to have children removed (by social services) from parents who dare to peacefully protest against water metering.  Even renowned bank fraud experts are gagged from telling the whole truth by libel laws which protect the 1% of psychopathic financial terrorists.
Those who stand up to the bullies, like the new Greek government, are told to Fuck off by the Irish ruling administration.
In our parliament chamber microphones of elected opposition politicians, who try to question the issue of political policing, are switched off. Already the police force routinely engage in ethnic profiling and quashing traffic violations for ‘important’ people.
The mass genocide of austerity that has been perpetrated for generations on the (so called) 3rd world has been rolled out globally since 2008. In Bankerland (formerly known as Ireland) real criminals, like fraudulent bankers (eg Anglo and HSBC), are not convicted and in the latter case not even prosecuted.

(Well no wonder – ex HSBC boss Michael Geoghan is one of Finance Minister Michael Noonan’s key advisors). Irish Water, the Private Ltd. Co., primed for privatization, which is at the centre of the Irish people’s fight against austerity, said today that ‘it has signed a €100m loan facility with Ulster Bank in the first in a series of loan agreements expected to be agreed with other domestic and international banks in the coming weeks.’ Ulster bank is a subsidiary of RBS.
Today arrests of peaceful protesters continues. A large rally, protesting political policing, took place outside both the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin and the Irish Embassy in London. A Russia Today cameraman was ejected from the embassy before a letter of complaint about the policing situation was accepted by embassy staff . ‘It really does show that the Irish government is not at all comfortable with the scrutiny these arrests are attracting worldwide,” a spokesman for the protesters said.’ Stories below.

A new report by the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland (MRCI) has highlighted that ethnic profiling, a form of racial discrimination, is being facilitated by the Irish state.
In his revised draft, Prof Black reportedly accused the Inquiry and its legal team of nobbling his views.

BMJ – Rise in suicides in Greece linked to introduction of austerity plans
‘Suicides in Greece reached a 30-year all-time high in 2012, with a sustained upward trend starting in June 2011, the month that the government there introduced further austerity measures to help pay down the country’s debts.
According to a new 30-year study, published in the online journal BMJ Open, greater attention should be paid to the public reporting of austerity measures and any subsequent suicide-related events that may follow.
The researchers from the US, Greece and the UK tracked the number of suicides recorded in Greece every month between January 1983 and December 2012 to assess the impact of prosperity and austerity on the figures, using national death certification data from the Hellenic Statistical Authority. Data for later years were not available at the time of study.
Between 1983 and 2012, 11,505 people took their own lives — 9,079 men and 2,426 women. The introduction of austerity measures in June 2011 marked the start of a significant, sharp, and sustained increase in suicides, to reach a peak in 2012, the figures showed.
The number of total suicides rose by more than 35 per cent in June 2011, which was sustained for the rest of the year and into 2012, equivalent to an extra 11.2 suicides every month, on average.
The suicide rate in men started rising in 2008, when the Greek recession began, increasing by just over 13 per cent, equivalent to an extra 3.2 suicides a month. The rate then rose by an additional 5.2 suicides every month (18.5 per cent) from June 2011 onwards.
There was a further, but short-lived, rise in April 2012 of just under 30 per cent (9.8 deaths a month), following a public suicide linked to austerity conditions. This was very widely covered in the news media and included a lot of detail and quotes from the suicide note — factors that may have prompted copycat suicides, suggest the researchers.
By contrast, the launch of the Euro in Greece in January 2002 marked an abrupt but short-lived fall of 27 per cent fewer suicides among men.
Economic instability in Greece has primarily affected men, who are still the main breadwinners, say the researchers, adding that the trends between 2008 and 2011 reveal the long-term and systemic effects that large government austerity programmes can have on national economic stability and public health.
Suicides among women, who accounted for one-in-four such deaths over the 30 years, also surged by an extra 2.4 a month (just under 36 per cent) in May 2011 following events associated with austerity, an increase that was sustained in 2012.
Further analyses, which included adjustments for potential under-counting of suicide (for religious and other reasons), showed the same sustained increased in June 2011. This further reinforces the importance of the events during this month, say the researchers.
