Irish Times & Labour Party Spin For Developers Autocracy (DDDA)

Very Curious.

Following its lazy, or otherwise practice, The Irish Times seems to have yet again issued a DDDA press release on behalf of the Dublin Developer's Autocracy (DDDA). The Developer's Autocracy seems to directly use The Irish Times and The Labour Party's Councillor Humphries to perform its PR and spin, coordinated by it's own in-house spin department.

The DDDA Developer's Autocracy should be shut down. It no longer serves its original social purpose. Who does the DDDA Developer's Autocracy work for besides the directors of Fianna Fails developers' bank (Anglo-Irish) and its own DDDA directors and their colleagues in the tent?


Dublin Developer's Autocracy (DDDA) & Gerrymander

It is curious that Cllr Humphries distributes leaflets on behalf of DDDA for its cynically titled "public consultations". Cllr Humphries has not distributed leaflets about the close relationships between DDDA and Anglo-Irish Bank. He does not explain how these relationships can be fully trustworthy.

Cllr Humphries leaflets were distributed to part of the electoral district apparently gerrymandered to the benefit of the Developers Autocracy, and split as urged by Cllr Humphries. It is especially curious that DDDA, to date, has not itself issued household flyers about the alleged "consultations". This smells more strongly than the Poolbeg Sewage Factory. It smells of The Big Lie.

And it will be interesting to see if the rest of the gerrymandered district is notified. And it will be interesting to see if the "consultations" continue to be held in locations at a considerable distance from the large population around Dublin Bay.

Very Curious & totally consistent with The Big Lie methodology, however accidentally.

Irish Times Needs Developer's Autocracy Advertising Money

The Irish Times gains advertising revenue from the Dublin Developer's Autocracy - a minimal disclosure omitted from the Irish Times 'article' dated Feb 2, 2009.

Example of Irish Times journalism:
"The plans, once they are ratified by the Minister for the Environment, ..."

A credible journalist or a minimally pretending journalist would at least say IF they are ratified. And then add some critical insight to inform the public.

This same lazy, or otherwise journalist, also reprinted press releases taken more or less directly from the promoters of the Poolbeg Incinerator at the politically biased EPA Oral Hearings in 2008.

This same lazy, or otherwise journalist, does not mention any possible conflicts of interest at the Dublin Developer's Autocracy:

• Dublin Developer's Autocracy dictates planning permission at Poolbeg
• The public can not appeal decisions
  
• Dublin Developer's Autocracy bypasses Bord Pleanala
• Dublin Developer's Autocracy "invested" taxpayer money in the IGB site and lost most of that money (information is currently withheld; ask Seanie to confirm probable write-offs are €400,000,000.)
  
• Revolving doors between Anglo Irish Bank's auditors, Price Waterhouse Coopers auditors/accountants/directors, DDDA Developers Autocracy, Anglo-Irish, RPS Consulting, Dublin City Council, Incineration Promoters, EPA Ireland, Ex-EPA Ireland "consultants", Covanta & Dong, Indaver, Energy Answers, An Bord Pleanala, ...
  
• Apparently the honest Directors at the Dublin Developer's Autocracy have a longstanding history of "working closely with" the honest Directors of Anglo Irish Bank.
  

The Irish Times journalist and the editor should be posted to New Orleans as they are "doing a mighty fine job".

Has Councillor Humphreys been working with FF's Green Party and Sinn Fein to carve up Sandymount?

Why?

Councillor Humphreys provides a series of excellent arguments. First he clearly shows the damage created by a gerrymander. Then he moves on to the oxymoronic conclusion that this justifies carving up the historic Village of Sandymount.

Chinese style planning in Sandymount
Basically Councillor Humphreys seems to strongly support Sandymount being taken over by the anti-democratic Dublin Docklands Developers Authority. Because Sandymount was secretly added to the DDDA empire, in the dictatorial FF manner, the Councillor seems to be on board with the sophisticated strategic DDDA team players in their agenda to wedge Sandymount into their inner city brand, going forward. Councillor Humphreys seems to be an enthusiastic proponent of applying Chinese Section 25 planning to Sandymount.

Pejorative Big Lies
Councillor Humphreys motives are perhaps hinted at by his political use of the word affluent, a pejorative term often cynically applied to Sandymount(a). This appears to be similar to Dublin City Council's apparent usage of the equally pejorative Dublin 4 when spinning in the media for the Waste-To-Toxins incinerator. Hasn't President Bush adopted similar divide & rule politics to further vested interests such as Haliburton?

Zero Leadership
What results have local politicians actually achieved - for the public as opposed to themselves - on the most important local issue, the proposed Poolbeg Waste-To-Toxins incinerator? Pro-forma submissions to rigged Oral Hearings are not something to boast about. Most local politicians, especially the FF-Greens, have provided zero local leadership. This total lack of effective leadership to unite the people of Sandymount, Ringsend and Irishtown on the most important local issue is very curious. The gerrymander seems to prove this opinion.

The actual outcomes achieved by politicians in 2007 & 2008 are:

1. Autocratic Chinese style planning in Sandymount, Ringsend & Poolbeg
   
2. Gormleymandered division of Sandymount
3. An ah sure we did our best Waste-To-Toxins incinerator.

Councillor Humphreys Words Translated From The Original Nederlands

Councillor Humphreys Double Dutch:
Agencies like the HSE and the Drug Task Force operate across the entirety of the SEIC ward and separating this ward will make it more difficult for the synergy of services needed to combat the distinct challenges facing the community

Translated
Carving up Sandymount means the HSE can take money from Sandymount people and give the money to drug-addicts in the inner-city. Old people in Sandymount can now go whistle for a district nurse or for home care. The drug-dealers can develop houses in Sandymount, no questions asked; just cash.

---------------

Councillor Humphreys Double Dutch:
Dublin Dockland Development Authority remit on the south side of the City covers the Pembroke East … This interaction the DDDA fosters is creating a common identity within the Docklands and its hinterland that is binding the communities together, creating a community spirit.

Translated
Councillor Humphreys fully supports DDDA's land-grab into Sandymount and fully supports Fianna Fail's Dick Roach who apparently signed off on this feat in 2007. Furthermore Councillor Humphreys seems to fully support the expensive campaign of Big Lies from the DDDA – Big Lies used solely to benefit The Galway Tent banks and building developers.

---------------
Councillor Humphreys Double Dutch:
It is integral that the current composition of the SEIC ward remains intact.

Breaking up these areas will diminish the Councils capacity to co-ordinate efficiently.

If the is carved up again it will hinder an agency like X from operating in an efficient manner.

Interaction between elected officials and the Gardai has increased .. It makes no sense to split the jurisdiction.

This area would be best represented if it was left consolidated, instead of being marginalised in a larger area.

Translated
Councillor Humphreys seems to fully supports dis-integrating, breaking up, carving up, splitting, dis-intermediating and marginalising Sandymount.

---------------

Councillor Humphreys Double Dutch:
Move Pembroke East B [half of Sandymount] ... which [is] part of the hinterland of the Docklands and would be more appropriately placed in the X ward due to the development of the Poolbeg Peninsula by DDDA under section 25 of the planning act.

Translated
Councillor Humphreys absolutely seems to fully support Chinese style authoritarian planning in Sandymount.
