A Bridge, Three Fascists
For those who realise that everything in the mainstream media is lies, a chronology of events leading to the arrest of Gemma O’Doherty on August 28th, 2020, and subsequent events in Bray Garda Station
On the afternoon of Friday August 28th, Gemma O’Doherty and several Anti-Corruption Ireland (ACI) colleagues were conducting a demonstration/public information exercise on the footbridge adjacent to the Circle K petrol station allowing pedestrian access over the N11 at Kilmacanogue, Co Wicklow. As usual, they had draped several banners over the bridge to attract the passing attention of motorists as they drove underneath. The banners related to the current situation vis a vis the SARS-CoV-2 virus and consequent lockdown, and specifically to the dangers of face masks, the imminent threat of forced vaccinations and the corruption of the national broadcaster, RTÉ. The slogans on the three banners read: ‘No Forced Vaccines’; ‘Masks Spread Germs’ and ‘RTE Is The Virus.’
At approximately 4pm, the ACI team had put in place the last of the banners, bearing the legend ‘No Forced Vaccines’, when two Gardai from Bray station arrived and demanded that they remove the banners and disperse. As the banners had been safely secured to the side of the bridge, and Gardai had on a number of previous occasions confirmed to Gemma that the placing of banners on bridges is perfectly lawful, Gemma’s ACI colleagues protested against this diktat and asked the Gardai what law they were relying upon to require that the banners be removed. At this point, Gemma was not present on the bridge but was shortly summoned there by her colleagues. The Gardai claimed that the banners were creating an ‘obstruction’ by causing drivers to become distracted. In fact, it is commonplace that such banners be draped from bridges along the main arterial roads into Dublin during the All-Ireland football season and during election campaigns. In the months since the alleged pandemic was declared in March, drivers have been assailed by Covid-19 posters and electronic information screens all along the M50 and other major motorways and roads, without incident or complaint. On a previous occasion, Wicklow County Council representatives had carried out a check of the ACI banners on the same bridge and confirmed that ACI were within their rights in displaying banners there, provided they were adequately secured. Indeed, on the day after the incidents described herein, Saturday August 29th, anti-lockdown banners were placed on the dual carriageway bridge at RTE over the N11 and remained there in the presence of numerous members of An Garda Siochana for the duration of a lengthy protest outside and inside the main gate of RTÉ.
