Monday November 01, 2010 21:26 by Andrew - 1% Network 1percentnetwork at gmail dot com
A larger than expected crowd turned out for last night’s 1% Network Treasure Hunt around the exclusive Aylesbury and Shrewsbury roads in Dublin. In 2006 Shrewsbury Road was the 6th most expensive address in the entire world and it remains exclusively populated by the richest of the 1% who own 34% of the wealth in Ireland.
Indymedia Links:
Over 50 people met up at the Head Quarters of Allied Irish Bank on Merrion road where we found the Special Branch and a van load of uniformed Gardai waiting for us. During the tour we would be joined by another 2-3 Garda cars but the only interaction was when the Sergeant in charge came over at the start to ask our capitalist vampire where we'd be heading. Merrion Road and around he was told and back across to the van he went. Unfortunately our photographer failed to capture the exchange.

Delivering the bail out bill to Dermot Gleeson
The lights come on at McNamara's

The camera shy gardeners at Denis O’Brien's
It is an utter scandal to bother these outstanding businesspersons at this critical time. We must depend on them, working in partnership with our government to solve the economic crisis. Boom - Bust - Boom. Bridge the gap as our leader has said.
I admired the scary facelifts and Halloween gear of some of those who went on the trick-or-treat treasure trail in Dublin 4 and 6 this weekend. The Irish economy and ruling classes get scarier and scarier as winter nights creep in on us.
Fair play to the people who organised and attended this. There's plenty of money in Ireland. Humour is important in highlighting the farce that we are confronted with.
Time to reclaim our Republic.
Well done.
Information mixed with justifiable disgust.
Maybe ye can set up a 'special rendition' party for Santa Claus to fit in with the damage our loudly fore- tolled budget is going to do to the most vulnerable kids, not least those with mental health problems(which will be exacerbated and multiplied by the wrecking crew at the helm).
You could hang an effigy of father Christmas from that Christmas tree they will be erecting in O'Connell St. Maybe hang a large label from the ankle proclaiming the corpse as a special gift from Dig-Out&Co.,Eire Inc.,(all inquiries to the Chief Officer,Anglo-American Chamber of Commercial Horrors).
There is a 1% Network Facebook group which has now grown to almost 900 members, if you want to follow the development of the network and get info updates about what the 1% is up to see http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=143661105666744
Any politcal campaign that relies on or considers its FB membership as a measure or source of support is in trouble. There are 900 or so 'likers' of that group, so where were they at the weekend? FB is fine for 'leisure' and chat, and even passing on a message, but actually motivating people to do something...? Experience shows that its easy for people to click on a button, but when it comes to following up in real life, FB numbers are always way off the mark.
Here are the mock up Bank Bail Out Invoice and Revenue Commissioners Tax Demand that were left at Dermot Gleeson's and Demis O'Brien's mansions.
Dermot Gleeson Bank Bail Out Invoice

Over the weekend in England there was a seres of actions closing down the tax dodging Vodaphone outlets. Here's some footage from the Oxford one (2 mins)..

Nice clear list of "Fingers" Fingletons assets here.
http://www.thejournal.ie/in-numbers-michael-fingletons-...0-11/
He "forgot" to mention his 27million pension fund recently in his disclosures to the Commercial Court.
Hard to keep track of it all eh fingers?
Perhaps 1% should pay a visit to him and give him a copy of this list to jog his memory!
Fingleton would have been amongst the 1st heads of building societies to ' insist ' on removing
mortgage holders ( and their children ) out of their family homes , quite legally of course ,during
the last recession of the 80s , If the mortgage holders fell behind with their repayments that oul
scourge was in the civil courts , without mercy , that often ,he should have been a solicitor .
Ask him if you dont believe me .
Big appreciation to ye for this. Good clear information.
Thanks
Well done, I just wonder how many people were/are aware of the protest. I saw no coverage on 'our' national broadcaster. It illustrates perfectly what an unequal society we live in. And you were all safe, as u had a garda escort.
What do you expect when the likes of OR-TEE-EAGH who employ only the very bestest to pull the
strings of their so called presenters by engaging them in an atmosphere of wealth beyond their
wildest dreams , in doing so the least they can expect is to Walk the Walk and Talk The Talk-Down
to the blue rinse brigade by scaring the listeners with doomsday language of which most of them
are too terrified to object to in the first place.
If the presenters are to eat a crust of bread , instead of black bread then it is expected of these
jumped up traitors to at least toe the party line given the ridicously huge salaries they are paid
out of our T.V. license fees .
No , you wont catch Joe Dumpy swiggin pints with their unemployable at all at all , now will you?
Ask him about the Ford Galaxy he drove , which was given to him because of his ' rising star '
image when he was over doin' the 911 coverage on that fateful day , all with the compliments of ,
Yes you guessed it , FORD , free of charge for well over 2 years . and thats only some of the perks
the likes of Joe Dumpy receive from the big firms ,
