Declan Ganley, Libertas

[cathal100]

He didn't get a seat. So Declan are you heading back to the UK then?

[LibertasEU2009]

Yes to economical cooperation, no to a bureaucratical and undemocractic superstate. You should decide what happens in your country!

Vote Libertas!

[Clearinator]

I'd sooner vote for Hitler!

[cucueire]

your a boring guy.

[cucueire]

Ganley supports the western corridor btu he has nothing to do with it what so ever. And he has changed his stance on the lisbon treaty he supports a super europe army and thinks he is clever.

[Hurrakeane]

Ah shut up all you finna fail and fine gael. Voting the same lads in every year just because of their party and not the person themselves. Now all you are up to your necks in debt and what government is in charge, the one you all voted in.

This man will take no shit!!!

Gets respect when he speaks.

Listened to in Europe.

Better the devil you Know than don't know!!!

[Fabienne000]

It doesnt matter who Ganley is, or what methods he uses. Dont' be misled by personal likes or dislikes. HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT TO SAY THAT LISBON IS BAD FOR EUROPE. If you study it, it will be a nobrainer thing to say.

[caponata299]

Who is this clown? Go back to england

[cathal100]

The Libertas are doing badly now in opinion poll

[Fishy9000]

He was the CEO of a very successful public safety communications and information technology company that was origaly set up to in the eu but after a year of selling on the europen market the were offered a contract by the us military which the contract was worth 275 milion to the company. so what kind of CEO would turn a contract like that down. so all u idiots out there who think he is some sort of cia agent sent by the us to destroy europe get of wikipedia and do some proper research

[countportfolio]

You got to ask who funds Libertas (the only pan European political party)? It is a fact that it is funded by US industrialists who were concerned by the economic threat of the EU.

Look at Declan Ganley's business history and ask yourself the question; how come he all of a sudden cares about the welfare of EU citizens?

Libertas wants transparency in Europe then let it should be investigated thoroughly, and a transparently.

[machinedriver]

mrronan- declan ganley is a business man who has done business with the us military- does that make him evil? don't begruge his success just because he employs a man to drive him while he runs his business and politics- at least he has the means and the balls to stand up against the brainwashing that a one-size-fits-all europe is a good thing. lets stop the steamrolling of this obvious dictatorship.

power to the people!

ps please dont reference wikipedia if you are over 12 years old.

[mrronan2007]

declan ganley is a millionaire 300 times over and is now turning to democracy ref wikipedia pulic information made money selling comms to us military .....make up your own mind

[mrronan2007]

worth 300 million from supplying military comms to us army ..chauffer driven and has a problem with eu elitists... this dude wants power and he will buy it ....wikipedia for the truth

[mrronan2007]

this man is worth 300 million from selling comms to us military and is now using irish elecotoral register to buy your votes along with big expensive billboards .. read wikipedia its all there free public information ( thank the internet)

[Hurrakeane]

Wikipedia isn't a valid source of information for anthing. Just gives a small run through on basic facts with a bias view. Wikipedia is not reconised as a valid place of information for any historian and is not seen as true fact!!!

[badbehaviourTV]

Wise words.

[funniinnit]

No matter who brings the message, do your own research and find out what the EU is, read Joseph P Farrell or Webster Tarpley. Read what Martin Borman wrote post WW2. This is the Fourth Reich, make NO MISTAKE, you say yes to Lisbon you say yes to Blair as president, you lose your sovereignty , you might as well welcome Cromwell back. The Nazi party are here to stay, they didn't go away! You are not a Nazi, say NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!

[thefreewheelingirl]

We all thought we were so great voting no to lisbon....this ganley guy even had myself thinking a no vote was the right option....we looked like idiots.i agree with some of these comments..he is only on a power trip.

[knowingangel]

Libertas are a bullshit party. They are definitely doing everything on a shoestring and seem to attract only the unemployed and stupid as potential candidates.

[0PsycoDad0]

like you?

[3iar2008]

Why should Ireland vote again its a joke ?

[knmurphy1]

Ganley is a Fascist. Just look at the calibre of the people he is recruting around Europe.

[knowingangel]

Yes I think he is. Consider the types of candidate he wants for the UK, the easily led. When your selection for candidate is based on just how enthusiastic you prove yourself in the next two months, there is definitely something wrong. It's a money raising venture, run by a hypocrite.

[BooToLibertas]

Absolutely! He's on a power trip. Watch this space but his choice of UK candidates will be people he can easily dominate.

[knmurphy1]

I agree that another referendum is undemocratic. However, the Libertas campaign spun many lies about the treaty so it is true to say that the result has been distorted by votes cast under the influence of lies. You don't have to do too much research to see the company that Ganley keeps throughout Europe. Most of Libertas' representatives have strong links with Neo-Fascict groups. Libertas' are a wolf in sheep's clothing, Fascists wearing a costume of democracy. Their shell is beginning to peal.

[RicoRichmond]

What evidance do tou have for that!?

[ucd77]

It doesnt really matter what his political views are, as he is correct on his Lisbon Treaty views. If Mussolini had come out saying Hitler was a threat to world freedom (and in fact he was initially hostile to Adolf), would you have dismissed him simply because he's fascist? Lisbon clearly favours the big nations which goes against the spirit of Europe, the kind of Europe we Irish have embraced for so long. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[purplestoner]

How can people think that the race of people who slaughtered, enslaved and hated Native Americans, Africans, Aborigines..namely, anyone who was different, how can citizens of a new europe not realise that psychology of human beings does not change that much over a few hundred years? the powerful tyrants of back then are the powerful suits of today.they dont give a SHIT about the little people.

[summerrain20070707]

I LOVE IRELAND

[ssolbergj]

It should perhaps be noted that while Ganley calls himself pro-european, he recruits hardcore europhobes for Libertas in Central Europe.

[ssolbergj]

Ganley is a liar and a hypocrite. He calls himself pro-european but recruits hardcore europhobes for Libertas in Central Europe. Obviously he understands that most places in Europe, being pro-Lisbon is synonymous with being pro-European.

[cingulator57]

The president of Venezuela Comrade Chavez has organized a referendum for to get the possibility to be re relected and stay in office for his lifetime. People voted NO. Mr. Chavez will organize another referendum. The reapeated referendum in Ireland is just the same. The Lisbon Treaty is just another step of the NWO. People are not blind.

[your1momma2was3here]

Vote NO on Lisbon..

I can't believe the Irish govt is having another referendum after they already had a mandate against the first one.

It is an INSULT to democracy!

[Spenner56]

MORE power to the EU ?

« The EU can lawfully suppress political criticism of its institutions and of leading public figures « ( European Court of Justice ruling 2001 ).

The European Charter of Fundamental Rights does not bother to mention ANYWHERE ,the right of EU citizens to vote.

However it DOES mention (in article.2,

passage 2c) that LETHAL FORCE can be used to quell «rioting,civil upheaval & during war"

Does the EU consider Afghanistan a war,...I hope not ?.

[Greg260146]

The EU Can NOT be changed from within & clearly no political party of repute advocates or campaigns for withdrawal of Ireland or the U.K. from the EU & restoration of our independent, sovereign, democracy, with Justice & the right to self determination in a free country. The EU is an evil concept bereft of democracy, funding, supporting, aiding & enriching politicians NOT people.

Write Upon Your Ballot Paper:

LEAVE THE EU

see: LibertasUK (dot) BLOGspot (dot) com

and its many links.

[knmurphy1]

Libertas are an extreme right wing movement and while I'll agree Europe as it is now is far from perfect, Fascist groups like Libertas are not the answer and must be stopped at all costs. You just have to look at the Libertas Reps throughout europe and see the company they keep to see that they are an extreme right wing organisation . Its not rocket science! Also, Ganley is a lier, he lied about the Lisbon Treaty and its obvious that he has a hidden agenda. He is a Fascist. Plain & Simple.

[errlloyd]

What he says was true, but is fixed in lisbon 2

[EuropeanLight]

Summary of the speech :

1) "Lisbon will rid Ireland from its commissioner." This is not the cas in the second referendum.

2) "The fiscal autonomy of Ireland will be reduced." This is not the case in the second referendum.

3) "The French already said no to the Constitution."

Because some socialists feared that trade unions would lose power.

[Ruthybobz19]

Declan Ganley is our only hope for salvation on the political front. The establishment are rocked by the first "NO" to lisbon which was democratic. Dont act like spoiled brats that always have to get your own way. Get over it - you lost!

[romanking123]

he's not even irish. he should go back to england with his own type. A united Europe has done nothing but help ireland. This man is a fool, with links to military supply which is totally against a united europe. The majority of irish people hadnt a clue what the lisbon treaty was and if you dont understand something, you wont vote for it. This fool is not repesentative of the Irish people. He is a brit.

[EuropeanLight]

4) "This is anti-democratic." Elected governments and the European Parliament are elected and legitimate. Way more than you and your Pentagon friends.

How can you speak about peace when you work for the US Army ? How can you talk about accountability when you don't say where your funds come from ? How can you speak about democracy when you get people to answer "No we don't want A" when asked "Do you agree with B?" ?

[stud2851]

Ireland really benefitted from the EU and now they damaged it by saying "no" to more democracy.

It made me sick as i found out today on national german news that Ganley has his money from us weapon deals, works with the heritage foundation, (bushs most important think tank), and in fact has a U.S. flag in his office. A real european? Or a man married to a american that sabotages the EU on behalf of the scared u.s. conservatives that thank God are loosing influence in the world?

[seamusirish]

Was the No vote bought by the US Neocons?

What is this mans relation to the US Military?

Who has an Interested in destabilising Europe?

[yearight1970]

1) US Neocons want a weak Europe, divide & concur theory, especially in foreign policy vis a via Israel/Palestine.

2) Ganly sells $100's Millions of equipment to US military thru Rivada Networks his own company. These a very very lucrative deals as necons love spending US tax payers money on enriching their buddies.

[mav75rk]

The yes vote was bought by Brussels.

[stud2851]

I agree.

Ireland has benefitted a lot from the EU and now they listened to this nationalist guy that has strong links to Bushs most important think tank "the heritage foundation" as well as a american flag in his office. Is Ganley a good European or a man earning on U.S. weopon deals that sabotages the EU on behalf of some conservative americans afraid of loosing influence in the world?!

[yearight1970]

Ganley is the most Cynical politician ever, he wants a divided Europe, a strong NATO he will get more lucrative military contracts of US Gov for his Rivada Networks company.

[socall01]

so what???. more military contracts mean more jobs for ireland. go for it declan

[Greg260146]

The EU has all the political morality & understanding of integrity, democracy & the votes of the people as does Mugabe in Zimbabwe - praise be they do not yet have the confidence to act with the same brutality in their nacent Police State. One has to wonder, in this surveillance, bureaucratic controlled supra national zone, how long before its own Gullags are brought into being in this burgeoning open prison with its denial of democracy.

The People Have Voted NO to the Politician's ambitions.

[Csaboska]

He seems like a decent guy, but it's a pity that he's funded by the US military industrial complex.

[Zeus184]

Ganley is right, I voted "No" but now it doesn't look like the Eurocrats want to renegotiate the Treaty to give Ire better terms and conditions. That was predictable, but if nothing else good came out of the Lisbon referendum, Libertas certainly was the one good thing that did.

[fionuala7]

Listen again to what you have to say I am glad I voted No. We should stick out for a more democratic EU which we deserve.

[aneedfortheory]

I voted yes because i was deluded and led to believe that we'd get more jobs. I wish i read this beforehand, its good that the No vote held though.

[magiclion]

We've been led astray ironically by people who are hypocritical. Gerry Adams ( aka IRA aka terrorist organisation aka murderous nationalist idiots) who doesnt even live in Ireland and Declan Ganley a multimillionaire with suspicious links to the US military. Our stupidity is astounding. Voting no because u don't understand something is stupid it's like refusing to drive a car because u dont understand how its mechanics work.

[magiclion]

I'm ashamed to be Irish after us voting no. The whole point is to make the EU more efficient. All the legislation coming out from the EU has been beneficial to us rural idiots eg married women couldnt work in 1973 when we joined and probably 50 other examples too. Ironicallly women have gained most by the EU while they have overwhelming voted no. Everything he is saying while true is stupid in proper context.

[socall01]

women have gained the most from the eu? its not much good if it cant help all the genders

[Bren28]

Well done Ireland! It's a very proud day! Democracy has spoken.

[marnox5]

Ganley is a prime mover in the military industrial complex in the US. He is being backed by the Anti-European, right wing of the British Conservative Party. His mission? To scupper an Irish Yes vote.

[weejockpoopongmcplop]

He doesn't sound very Irish.

[gregseef21]

Why would he? He's not Irish.

[poshknacker]

being irish is more than how you sound. do some research.

[Hatetherapy]

Europe ain't broke. Therefore, why fix it? vote no.

[fionuala7]

Declan is it true that France intends to join NATO during its Presidency of the EU?

[AtoZifyouplease]

Don't sell out Ireland. Vote NO!!!

[adavir]

I agree, a peoples europe or no europe! Our Government want this so badly as it will allow them to escape accoutability and responsibilty on so many currently sensitive issues like Health and Taxes.
