During an attempt to assault activists who asked him a question in Dublin, a European MEP tripped and fell on his face and the entire incident was caught on camera, but that didn’t stop the media from reporting that an "anti-EU gang" of thugs had screamed abuse and assaulted Proinsias de Rossa – in a crass attempt to smear opposition to the European Union.
The video shows de Rossa being approached slowly by the cameraman and another We Are Change Ireland activist who asks, "Why did you do it?" to which de Rossa responds, "When are you going to grow up?"
Earlier, de Rossa had called for Irish citizens to support the sovereignty-stripping EU Lisbon Treaty, which is a re-packaged version of the European Constitution that was already summarily rejected by voters upon introduction.
The two begin walking down the street and de Rossa is the first to physically put his arm on the activist as he moves him out of the way to cross the street.
De Rossa then lunges for another cameraman behind him and then begins running towards him.
De Rossa clearly then appears to trip and fall to the ground as he reaches out for the cameraman.
We Are Change Ireland flagged down a police van themselves to report the incident and, even as media reports are forced to admit, after questioning eyewitnesses, the police made no arrests. If anyone should have been arrested for assault it was de Rossa himself.
Bearing in mind what actually happened as seen on the video, look at how the media reported the incident.
Under the headline Anti-EU gang assaults Irish MEP, the BBC reported, "Irish former minister Proinsias de Rossa was knocked to the ground after a public meeting in Dublin on Monday night, according to the Labour Party."
The Labour Party being bastions of honesty, of course.
"Labour leader Eamon Gilmore said the MEP was confronted by a group of men who screamed abuse at him before knocking him over and pinning him down," added the report.
Watch the video again. Who exactly knocks de Rossa to the ground? The invisible man? It is clearly de Rossa’s out of control temper and his shock at the audacity of citizens asking questions of a politician that led to him falling flat on his face.
The Belfast Telegraph went a step further, claiming de Rossa had been "attacked".
Again – police investigated the incident and interviewed eyewitnesses before making no arrests, proving that no "assault" or "attack" on de Rossa ever took place. No crime had been committed.
The Associated Press seized on the purported "assault" to smear anti-EU groups.
"The episode highlighted hostility in Ireland’s hard left to the European Union, which requires a "yes" vote from Ireland for the treaty, the product of several years’ negotiations, to become law," according to the report.
Again this reflects a fundamental ignorance of the fact that We Are Change Ireland were born out of the 9/11 Truth Movement, which revolves around the central issue of the 9/11 attacks, and not any prescribed political partisanship.
Why were the media so keen to perpetuate such a giant fraud and smear the activists as violent thugs while exalting the pro-EU MEP as an innocent victim?
Because a "no" vote in Ireland, the only EU member nation to allow a referendum on the issue, would signal the death knell for the Lisbon Treaty, and the press - especially the BBC who routinely propagandize for the expansion of the EU and have received over £141 million in loans and grants from Brussels – have to engage in dirty tricks and smear campaigns to try and reverse public opinion which has always been anti-European Union.

it’s just like the guy in the movie Zeitgeist said, “there are people, who we don’t even know about, that are controlling us thru the media, schools, and religions.”
i believe in God but i don’t believe in religious institutions controlling me or asking for money.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH STOP WATCHING TV, GOING TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND GOING TO CHURCH

Funny how the corporate media immediately “knows” stuff. Like despite the fact that the US government claimed “no prior knowledge”, on the DAY OF 911 they suddenly “knew” it was probably Osama Bin missin and his boogey men.
Consider this: Has the corporate media EVER sided with We Are Change? Ever?
Google Video “outfoxed”.

The Globalist system of the Beast continues to grow with it’s firm foundations in your Nation brought about by Freemasons like George Washington & the like with their New Order of the Ages.
The NWO controls both of your political parties who aren’t your Govt, but merely elected representatives, but devious enough to write your election laws so no one can actually challenge them for seats in your Govt’s offices. While members of those parties such as Ron Paul & Dennis Kusinich may not be completely corrupt even they cannot challenge the bought & paid for NWO candidates.
While I already know Jesus I don’t have anything to do with organized religion, politics, or anything else of your world. I merely study things from a prophetic point of view. I already know the Globalist Beast System will be built, but no matter how evil men are upon this planet, no matter how many False Prophets of the possible Hagee-Parsley king that worship the Beast & the Image of the Beast thinking this Beast is doing God’s work they still aren’t any match for Jesus.
God said they will be killing thinking they are doing him a favor. Men learned long before Jesus was even born of human flesh how to manipulate others into killing by saying God told them to go kill these or those people. They use the name of God in vain in order to perpetrate what is nothing more than their own evil worldly agendas upon the earth.

We Are Change Ireland should sue for assault and libel. Seriously. This is outrageous.

Remember, the founding fathers, including GEORGE WASHINGTON, and the American revolutionary armies, were labeled as “anti government”, “anarchists”, “trouble makers”, “extremists”, take your pick of mantras.
Today is no different. Oddly enough, the forces we are opposing are based in Mostly in the United Kingdom and England. Not the common people of these nations, but the small coderie of secret societies and bankers. Who see themselves as Gods.
Eventually, the United States declaration of independence was recognized- but not before the shedding of much blood on both sides. Probably the only thing that stopped England then, was the fact that transportation of troops and supplies presented to much difficulty, and the elite realized we could be subverted internally anyway later on, which is what happened.
Many people will sell out what is right, for money. Until we oust these traitors from government, and outlaw secrecy and secret societies, nothing will ever change.
NEVER allow any government to grant itself secrecy powers over the people. How can we truly be a government by the people, and for the people, if “the people” don’t even know what the hell is really going on?

mainstream media never represents the interests of the people and when we get our countries back we need to have a nuremburg like treason trial for those in the media who whitewashed the rape of our countries.

does this mean they aren’t putting it to a vote? This has serious implications – it was the final stand against the NWO taking a large step into their dominance of europe.

The Mass Media needs to be reigned-in, that’s for sure.

As Tyler Durden said…. “Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep……Do not… f--- with us.”
Time to start snipping balls….

That’s why I don’t listen to the media, everyone of them never tell the truth. When I see a story from say, Columbia, I know it’s a story that the CIA delivered. This is nothing new !

If he would of grabbed my camera bag, it’s arm-bar time till the bobbies come with their trungeons, to save their overlord. Note to politicians if I ask you a question you don’t want to hear, you’d better come up with something better than fawning assault by grabbing at me. I will pull your collarbone away from your chest plate, and leave you in a pool of your own blood and excrement. Smacking the taste of tea and crumpets out of your yuppie mouth.

this article is real as i did a background check on it. i am a farmer so my worries are few. however, you city people are f---ed and we will show you no mercy. many farmers will continue to put minimal amounts of fertilizer on our crops in order to reduce yields.
MEMO TO FARMERS ALL OVER THE WORLD: IF YOU ARE PUTTING THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF FERTILZER ON YOUR CROPS STOP DOING SO. PUT MINIMAL AMOUNTS ON YOUR FIELDS. THE RESULTS WILL BE CATASTROPHIC(EVEN LOWER FOOD SUPPLIES) AND YOU WILL STILL MAKE MONEY.
