Libertas lawyer cites Wikipedia in smear on MEP while Ganley/Libertas staff in Tuam edit his own Wikipedia page


Libertas use Wikipedia in attempt to smear an MEP on the radio in Ireland yesterday. An article in today's Evening Herald notes that Green party candidate Deirdre de Burca explained to Caroline Simons the Libertas anti abortion candidate that anyone can change a Wikipedia page but hey they know that this week they have been removing info from Declan Ganley's own Wikipedia page.

An IP address registered to a resident of Tuam Co. Galway has been editing the Wikipedia page on Declan Ganley this week removing words like Eurosceptic, and references to the Irish Times articles that cites Ganley's parties advocacy of strikebreaking in the Libertas memorandum of association.
other than Ganley's wiki article the only other pages on Wikipedia edited by that IP are
Leviathan: Political Cabaret ‎ is the political club night run by Libertas founder Naoise Nunn who resigned last year but who used to work for Rivada Networks establishing the Libertas brand for Ganley's US Defence company.


The same IP addresss has logged onto Libertas Nein Danke 180 times over the past three months.
In my statcounter I have it self-listed merely as Ganley but of course it is as likely to be Rivada staff and/or Libertas people as they all use the same phone line . I would not have revealed the fact that they log on so much but the fact that they use the same IP to edit Ganley's Wikipedia page make it a matter of public interest to reveal this fact.

here is a full list of edits from that IP

Listen to Pat Kenny with Anti Abortion Libertas candidate Simons and Deidre De Burca of Ireland's Green Party starts at 20 min in here

Libertas loonies? No, check Wikipedia

Evening Herald

By Kevin Doyle

Friday April 24 2009

LIBERTAS is embroiled in a political row after its Dublin candidate used internet site Wikipedia as a source on live radio.

Caroline Simons repeatedly used the site to back up controversial claims about a Green Party representative in the European Parliament.

In a debate with Green candidate Deirdre de Burca, the solicitor denied that Libertas was in bed with the "looney far right" and said: "I think it's hilarious to hear Deirdre talk about that when one of the most prominent Green people in the European Parliament is her own favourite Daniel Cohn-Bendit."

She went on to allege that Mr Cohn-Bendit was "a student rioter and all the rest" who talked "about very inappropriate behaviour with children when he was working in a kindergarten".

However, when Ms de Burca took issue with the statement, she was told by the Libertas candidate: "You can check Wikipedia and check his autobiography."

Pressured by radio host Pat Kenny, Simons repeated: "You can check Wikipedia."

But as Ms Simons attempted to defend her claims, the presenter said: "No Caroline, I'm sorry, let me explain, Wikipedia is something that can be amended by anybody, so I can never allow that to be used as a definitive source."

Speaking like a school teacher, Pat continued: "Often it's a useful starting point if you want to find out about people, but I would not use that as my Bible."

Eventually, Ms Simons replied: "Well, absolutely, absolutely."

Afterwards, Senator de Burca told the Herald that the Libertas candidate showed "a lack of political experience".

Ms Simons launched her first electoral campaign just this week and is hoping to win an MEP seat for the controversial party in Dublin.

She is a solicitor based in Ballsbridge and worked with Libertas during its campaign against the Lisbon Treaty.

But she faces her first personal political controversy as Ms de Burca is outraged by the comments about Mr Cohn-Bendit.

Libertas Dublin candidate's launch a farce as Irish Trade Union bars them using their Liberty Hall

Libertas Dublin launch for Caroline Simons was a farce tonight. The few people who attended were a Libertas rent a crowd but their numbers, nearly 55, hardly bode well for the anti abortionist's electoral chances. Declan Ganley's flag collection was raided for an Irish tricolour with a gold trim and an EU flag. Paranoid looking malcontents and misfits pacing the hotel foyer prior to the arrival of Simons included John McGuirk wearing brown shoes, jeans and a black jacket.
Like his leader Declan Ganley the Libertas males have poor colour coordination. Ganley has recently been sporting his beige jacket and pants with a blue shirt. Simons wearing a black ensemble looked her usual drab self.
The Ganley famiglia was represented by Declan's younger brother Sean Ganley, who was a founder of the Libertas think tank and formerly represented Ganley Group's Baghdad based Tigris Staffing in 2004.

Simon's was introduced by Raymond O'Malley, the former lobbyist for the Irish Farmer's Association and Libertas's candidate for Leinster.

The meeting was due to be held at the Services, Industrial, Professional, and Technical Union's Liberty Hall but Ireland's largest trade union refused to allow it to proceed on their premises having learning the true nature of the booking.

Journalists were little in evidence with only Harry McGee of the Irish Times and John McGuirks's pal Richard Waghorne of the Irish Daily Mail, a a solitary camera man from RTE News.

However billboard posters had appeared this afternoon in Dublin bearing Simon's face indicating another massive spending spree by Libertas. Who is funding this campaign? Not a grassroots as there was few in evidence this evening.
Free drink is currently being supplied to the attendees by Libertas.

Libertas Nein Danke style correspondent the 13 year Alexandra was our special reporter on the night



CHANGE OF VENUE – CAROLINE SIMONS CAMPAIGN LAUNCH

Statement by Libertas:

“SIPTU have informed Libertas that Caroline Simons is not welcome to launch her campaign in Liberty Hall this evening, despite the fact that the venue had been booked for some weeks. As a consequence, the event will now take place in Wynne’s Hotel, Abbey St. Lower, at 6.30pm, followed by a reception.

This extraordinary and last-minute u-turn by the authorities at Liberty Hall raises very interesting questions. Caroline Simons spent a large portion of her career working with the trade union movement to secure equality for women. She has been an articulate and hard working defender of worker’s rights. She adopted the same position on the Lisbon Treaty as an overwhelming majority of Trade Union members.

SIPTU’s decision this evening should leave working people in no doubt that SIPTU, rather than representing the interests of its members, is primarily concerned with doing the bidding of its political masters”

.

John McGuirk took time out from his busy schedule running a failing election campaign to write in. Obviously the drinks reception pettered out quickley

The jacket is navy actually, Tim, and the shoes are tan, black would have been a worse clash.

Anyhoo, was glad to see you - looking good sir.

Libertas Lisbon campaign lack of transparency exposed

In the run up to the Lisbon vote in Ireland the Forum on Europe set out to record people's views in order to allow for debate and for people to hear diverse views. In the below video Sean Ganley brother of Declan is described as a "citizen" and not a founder of Libertas.

In fact one year earlier Sean had been a founder of Libertas Ltd.
In 2004 he was working for Tigris Staffing a Ganley Group company based in Baghdad.

The founders of the Libertas Institute were:

Another Declan Ganley business failure: GCI PROJECT MANAGEMENT LIMITED Accounts

“I am a businessman, not a politician,” he said. “I know what it takes to create wealth. I know what it will take to dig Europe out of the mess our politicians have created. We are led by a group of people who have no basic understanding of economics. It is a group of people with no new ideas.” Declan Ganley speaking to the Galway Advertiser


This is another in my series of Declan Ganley related company accounts. this is another business failure from Ganley who claims to be a successful business man and not a representative of secretive backers with links to the US arms and military industrial complex. Ganley had a colourful youth rambling around a collapsing eastern Europe and former USSR, before landing on his feet when his neo con hawk buddies launched the "War on Terror". Ganley has recently appointed former chief of staff of the US military "the man who invaded Iraq" and current CIA external advisor Richard Myers to the board of Rivada networks. Rivada Networks in partnership with the Alaskan Eskimo outfit Nana Pacific run Rivada Pacific which uses federal law designed to benefit Native American companies (and here). Ganley claims to be Irish and has said he was British on his company returns. He is married to an American and therefore is entitled to an American passport. However, there is no way he is an Eskimo.

Despite this his company are awarded no competition defence contracts by the US military intended for native Americans. this ruse was the work of the disgraced Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens.

.

Do the secrets of Declan Ganley's claimed business success rest purely on his US military contracts that are awarded on a preferential basis?
With Europe suffering an economic global crisis the blame for which can be laid on the high risk business practices that Declan Ganley has advocated in interviews. We are only going to get one shot. Having Declan Ganley and his disparate group of the pan European right wing xenophobes and aristocratic nationalists, some of whom want a return to feudalism, gambling with our futures and our threatening democracy is not something to be taken lightly.

The QuiScores and QuiRatings, which are developed and maintained by CRIF Decision Solutions Limited,
take into account a range of factors. These include the presence of any adverse documents
appearing against the company on the public file and the timeliness of getting the accounts
filed. In addition, the underlying economic conditions are factored in to the equation. However,
the most important factors relate to the financial performance of the company as evidenced by
their balance sheet and profit and loss account. In determining a score, a number of separate
calculations are performed using various combinations of the key financial items – these
include turnover, pre-tax profit, working capital, intangibles, cash and bank deposits,
creditors, bank loans and overdrafts, current assets, current liabilities, net assets, fixed
assets, share capital, reserves, shareholders funds.

Please note that the historical QuiScores and QuiRatings shown for the latest years may differ from the current and
previous QuiScores and QuiRatings. This is due to the fact that the calculations of historical scores and ratings
are based on criteria available for the company at the time that the accounts were filed. As such, they do not take
into account any subsequent events.
