Dokubo Directs DSS To Investigate Rescue News Through His 'Lawyer' Festus Keyamo – Thisday
In what reads like the greatest joke of the century, perhaps it is October 1st. the 'lawyer' –notice inverted commas — of terrorizing 'leader' Dokubo-Asari, a certain Festus Keyamo, has written a letter to the Director State Security, DSS, asking them to investigate Rescue News for its alleged publication which in their words, accused Dokubo-Asari of being behind the assassination plot on Buhari's life.

We wonder which editorial 'Rescue News' is and would love to see if the SSS will abide and intimidate Nigeria's last working element, its media over the vomit of rabid dogs.

Buhari: Dokubo Asari Asks SSS to Investigate Allegation against Him
Mujajid Dokubo Asari
Tobi Soniyi
Leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Force (NDPSF), Mujajid Dokubo Asari, has called on the Director General of the State Security Service (SSS) to investigate allegation that he procured suicide bombers to kill former Head of State Major-General Muhammdu Buhari (rtd).
In a letter written to the Director General of SSS by his lawyer, Mr. Festus Keyamo, Dokubo said an online media, Rescue News, had published a news item that he was behind the bomb blasts that exploded last week Wednesday in Kaduna State that killed about eighty-five people and which was allegedly targeted at Buhari and an Islamic cleric, Sheik Dahiru Bauchi.
The publication alleged that Dokubo Asari was privy to a plot to assassinate Buhari.
The letter read: "The publisher further alleged that our client paid the sum of N5 million to the suicide bombers that carried out the said dastardly act and that one of the suspected suicide bombers arrested in connection with the said incident of July 23 has confessed to our client's complicity in the said act."
Dokubo-Asari said he found the allegations too weighty and grave to be ignored or disregarded and that his life as well the lives of his family, close associates and kinsmen had come under threat because of the publication.
The letter read: "While our client has the right to express his views on national issues like any other citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and has done so on many occasions, he has never and will never be involved in a plot to kill a respected former leader like Buhari or anyone for that matter.
"We kindly implore you to use your good offices to thoroughly investigate the allegations leveled against our client by the said Rescue News to curtail the threat, public disenchantment and animosity already created against our client, his family, close associates and kinsmen as a result of these baseless allegations."

The first and only yet comment on Thisday:
douglas391 • 4 hours ago
MY WELL RESPECTED LAWYER, MR FESTUS KEYAMO; THE GANI OF OUR DAYS; PLEASE DO NOT TAKE SIDE WITH THIS EVIL; CALL DOKUBO ASARI. WE ALL KNOW HIS HISTORY. GOD WILL STILL BLESS YOU WITHOUT HIS MONEY. GOOD NAME IS BETTER THAN RICHES
Indeed, the only person who has turned himself into a rubbish here is Festus Keyamo (by no imaginary stretch a Gani of our days). Law is a very testing profession, where you will be hired and paid to do stupid things.
By the way, click here to see our phenomenal article on Dokubo and the Buhari bombing: NewsRescue–Buhari Bombing: Arrested Cross-dresser Sings That Dokubo-Asari Paid Them To Kill Buhari
Unlike Dokubo's dangerous rants which directly accuse the eminent person of Maj. Gen. Buhari for trying to destroy Nigeria by trying to kill himself, our Op-ed article was actually kind to Dokubo andit was explained in the article that the homosexual cross-dresser who accused Dokubo was not a suspect, but an innocent victim of Nigeria's security department sham. Next time, perhaps we wont be so honest.
In any case, this garbage does not merit a response. It is left to see if DSS will further degrade their reputation by obeying a letter from thugs. It is important to mention at this point that Dokubo-Asari is still a terrorist. By rejecting the amnesty, he did not repent and is STILL actively engaged in war against the Nigerian nation. Dokubo and the Nigeri Delta terrorists directly and indirectly led to the deaths of millions of Nigerians and millions outside Nigeria by their terror attacks on the nation's economy, which decreased oil output to less than half, thus starving millions to death; and increased global oil prices, thus leading to deaths of millions abroad.
Sorry for the waste of time.

Please, forgive me for busting in like that, but I need to adopt these ones as interjections for BioWARE's Solaufein (or banters with another drow character) if you do not like them as cross-banter material Please, let me know if they are acceptable.
Solaufein: Your long bow is an elegant, simple and efficient weapon.
Solaufein: Yet utterly useless in the Underdark.
Kivan: I have noticed it.
Solaufein: However, since I am a surface dweller now, might I ask for a lesson?
Kivan: I doubt neither your agility, nor strength, Solaufein, but one is either born an archer or trains to become one starting at an early age.
Solaufein: You consider me old then?
Kivan: No, but I believe that you are quite industrious in keeping yourself alive with your magic and your sword, Weapon Master.
Solaufein: And you begrudge a drow his survival?
Kivan: I serve Shevarash, Solaufein. I wish to believe that you are as different from your kin as you profess, but I am yet unsure.
Solaufein: I envy you, Kivan, I envy you even that very plight and torment of yours that makes you a subject of other's surfacers' pity. All of you surfacers wear your hearts on your sleeve, even the most reclusive ones, like you. Your every action betrays your passions. And you think nothing of it. Yet, it's a precious right.
Kivan: Is it not the same among drow? I saw much demonstrations of feelings during our stay with your kin. Hatred... mostly.
Solaufein: A, but even a hook horror roars when he falls on its victim and in spider's eyes you can see the bloodlust.
Solaufein: Her mouth twitched with fury. Anything but that you have imagined, darthiir. At the times when she truly loved me, her face was a mask and her eyes slipped past me when I kneeled in front of her. The pretense was perfect.
Kivan: Then how did you get discovered?
Solaufein: Do you think that the Spider Queen can be cheated in such a naive and childish way?
Then you are just a naive and childish as I were... in your case it is forgivable, for you are a surfacer. My illusions cost me dearly.
Kivan: Yours is chilling story indeed, Solaufein.
Solaufein: The scariest thing of all is that when Matron Despana summoned me for questioning I knew from her inquiries both shrewd and casual, that I was but one of those whom she chastised and squished on that very account of not being a spider at heart.
Kivan: Let us hope that some of them escaped even as the rest attacked Suldanessellar.
Solaufein: Or stayed hidden. But either way for a drow lays death.
Solaufein: There is the sight that brings a joy to any who worships Ellistrae – the Dancer up in the night's sky.
Kivan: Looking at how you enjoy the wide world, I cannot imagine that it was your blood… and mine that had elected to retreat into the underground caverns.
Solaufein: Elf, I love the faeries' world not because I was born Elven, but because I consciously lower the barriers and I do not allow the prejudice to forbid me to enjoy its beauty.
If you would have done the same, you would have seen the Underdark's thrilling loveliness.
Kivan: I never had a love for warrens, Solaufein. And the Underdark is the foulest dungeon of them all, teaming with nightmares made flesh.
Solaufein: Yet it is my birthplace also, and if you were not so weary of the dangers… or rather as used to it as a drow is, you might have seen the play of the fluorescent lights, the stone lacework entwining the stalactites and stalagmites and the veins of shiny metals crisscrossing the walls.
Banter #2 seems more suited to Biofein than Weimerfein. In "Then you are just a naive and childish as I were" you want "was" instead of "were" and "as" instead of "a". Near "The scariest thing" I would add some additional punctuation.
At any rate, use whatever you like and good luck with Kivan.
Thank you, Wes I will try to Weimerfenize if I'd do more.
Solaufein: Her mouth twitched with fury. Anything but that you have imagined, darthiir. At the time when she did love me, her face was still like a mask and her eyes slipped past me, when I kneeled in front of her. Our pretense was perfect.
Solaufein: Do you think that the Spider Queen can be cheated in such a naive and childish way? If you think thus you are just as naive and childish as I was... in your case it is forgivable, for you are a surfacer. My illusions cost me dearly.
Solaufein: The scariest thing is, that when Matron Despana summoned me for questioning I knew from her inquiries, both shrewd and casual, that I was but one of of many that she chastised and squished on that very account of not being a spider at heart.
Solaufein: Or stayed hidden. But either way, death lies ahead of the ill fortunate drow.
Solaufein: There is the sight that brings a joy to any who worships Eilistraee – the Dancer up in the night's sky.
Kivan: Looking at how you enjoy the wide world, I cannot imagine that it was your blood… and mine that elected to retreat into the underground caverns.
Solaufein: Elf, I love the faeries' world not because I was born Elven, but because I consciously lower the barriers and I do not allow the prejudice to forbid me to enjoy its beauty. If you would have done the same, you would have seen the Underdark's thrilling loveliness.
Kivan: When the wood is wet like this, you want to establish a steady stream of air to sustain the fire, Solaufein.
Solaufein: I am trying, ranger, but I am a warrior, not bellows. There was that small spell of conjuring fire… Ah, yes. I am glad I have taken the time to memorize it.
Kivan: (He sighs) Solaufein, magic is unreliable; you have to learn not to solely depend on it for your survival. When you have it, it's all well and good, but when you do not, you need to be able to do things like setting up the fire on your own.
Solaufein: Would you have me to extinguish the fire and try again with the flint and the breathing exercise? I doubt that our companions would appreciate it right now. In fact, I think, they are growing weary of my inaptitude, and the lengthiness of our lesson was just about to threaten my survival.
Kivan: Just stack the larger logs closer to the flames to dry out. You will try again on the morrow.
Solaufein: Master ranger, perhaps you can teach me instead how to pick a spot around the fire where the draft would not carry smoke my way. I have noticed that you had a talent of sorts for it.
Solaufein: I am still fascinated by the changes that Adalon's drow guise wrought in all of our companions. In you they were the least dramatic.
Kivan: I do not wish to talk about our times in Ust-Natha and the fact that we had to pass for drow there.
Solaufein: I did not know that you had such a strong preference for having your hair dark, Kivan.
Kivan: It was not the hair bleaching part that I was uneasy about.
Solaufein: Perhaps, if I said that you were handsomer as a drow it would reconcile you with the memory of your transformation?
Solaufein: One part of the surface culture that I think my people where wise to discard is this herbal brew obsession of your kin. Doubtlessly this potion's taste is a worthwhile rival to its horrendous appearance and aroma. What is it and why do you want me to imbibe the foul liquid?
Kivan: It is willowbark tea and it will make you sleep. You are becoming jumpy.
Solaufein: My nightmares are coming to haunt me in flesh, my friend, so I'd rather not sleep deeply. Who knows what I might conjure another time?
Kivan: Act as a true poet – talk while you drink.
Solaufein: (He takes a cautious sip) I would rather reserve the rest for the next time that Lolth sends her minions after me. A whiff of it would discourage even a Revenge Spider.
Kivan: We have better means than that to ward off Lolth's minions, Solaufein. And let us hope that there won't be another time.
Solaufein: The rebellious drow must be weeded out and all who impugn the faith must perish. Lolth never forgets offences. She dwells on them and invents ever crueler ways to exact her revenge on the deviants. The Spider Queen does not let go… Kiaransalee might rebel against Lolth's power, but vengeance is as much an aspect of the Spider Queen as that of the Vengeful Banshee herself. (Quietly) Or Sheverash.
Kivan: I would not have a drow lecture me on mercy.
Solaufein: As you wish. And, Kivan, thank you for the drink: I did not enjoy it, but I do not doubt that it will help me.
Kivan: If you must lecture me, take a place in line, Solaufein. I am growing weary of people jumping ahead; it was <CHARNAME>'s turn to<DAYNIGHT> to drop subtle hints about the error of my ways.
Solaufein: A beautiful creature… and so quiet. Why, if I could I would have taken you for a familiar.
Kivan: A butterfly would be an unfortunate choice for a wizard or a man of the woods. One does not bond to a creature whose life is so brief, for the shortness of the union will not avert the devastating effects of the familiar's death on the bond partner.
Solaufein: I know it, but for a brief moment of her short life she simply enjoys my company, and for that I am grateful.
Kivan: Your skin is dark and attracts sun heat well – she enjoys the warmth.
Solaufein: I am a warm drow. It is quite an endearing thought.
Kivan: It makes no difference to her, whether it is you, a rock or an old stump.
Solaufein: She considers me to be just as much a part of the surface world as those things. Perhaps that is why she can fly away so easily, being unburdened by prejudice.
Kivan: You think that the surface world lacks the drow?
Soulafein: Only a surfacer can answer this question. He after all belongs to this world and has the ancestral memory of kinship. When you think of your kin, does your mind cringe at the tear in the tapestry where the Ilythiiri should have been?
Solaufein: I wish that <CHARNAME> would honor natural cycles more than <PRO_HESHE> does.
Kivan: What do you mean, Solaufein?
Solaufein: I find the night and day's change captivating, as well as the surface custom to sleep by night. Yet <CHARNAME> presses on and on, unaffected by the sunsets and sunrises.
Kivan: Sleeping during the night is rather a human's custom than surfacers'. The Elves walk as freely by night as by day.
Solaufein: (He yawns) Right now I am inclined to believe that in some ways the Humans are wiser than the Elves.
Kivan: Do not you blaspheme your own faith, Eilistraee's worshiper? Is not there a connection between the nighttime and the Dark Maiden? And you want to sleep through it?
Solaufein: The time is right for the Eilistraee's Circle of Song indeed - we are outdoors, in a wooded area, on a moonlit night – but I'd rather enjoy the rituals in her honor at my ease at a campsite, than while walking ready to do battle.
Kivan: I have heard that Eilistraee's avatars sometimes come disguised at the campfires of the wayfarers in the woodlands by night, to test their kindness.
Solaufein: Perhaps that is why <CHARNAME> avoids stopping for the night so studiously.
Solaufein: One thing I delight at in the surface poetry is how often natural phenomena are associated with the feelings and moods of a person.
Kivan: It is a link to the ingenious unity with the world, as we had had it of old. Even those who trap themselves inside the ugly walls of human cities feel it sometimes.
Soalufein: Humans build solidly and sternly, that's true. But there is a certain solemn beauty to it. It is when they try to imitate your kin, when it turns out false.
Kivan: Elves were the first ones to work stone and metal. What could humans do, but imitate?
Solaufein: The same as anyone does in the search of genuine inspiration: look inward.
Kivan: When one truly looks inward he sees the same thing than when he looks outward – nature itself.
Solaufein: You are always trying to make things simple, Kivan. Some would say too simple.
Solaufein: If I have to lose my ability to levitate in the surface world, I wish that I had acquired something in its stead, such as fairy's dreams, the reverie.
Kivan: Your life was not enough for you to consider the loss of levitation a fair bargain?
Solaufein: Precarious as my position in the Underdark was at the time of your visit, I would have found a way to survive in Ust-Natha. I have done it for centuries.
Kivan: And what was the trade off for your survival, Weapon Master? I doubt that delivering prideful priestesses from Mind Flayers was always sufficient to prove your fealty to the Spider Queen and the Matrons.
Solaufein: I did what I had to; and I will not allow those memories to poison the rest of my life in the same fashion that you let yours haunt you and cast black shadows around your eyes.
Kivan: Then you are fortunate that your kin does not reverie, Solaufein.
Solaufein: Fortunate it is not. I have memories worth reliving in the elfdreams, and I hope there will be more now to remember fondly, in the roofless world that I now tread.

Rodarte x Fred Segal | Back To The Future
by Marissa Williams
On August 6th, Made and Rodarte hosted an incredible 80's themed event that was filled with all the goods! They had cotton candy machines and personalized claw machines with your favorites 80's essentials such as scrunchies, rubrics cubes, and slinkys. In Fred Segal's pop up, you saw every 80's teenage dream set up! It was fully equipped with Madonna posters and mixtapes, and while the section was made up of golden oldies, the line included futuresque qualities. Each tag had a QR code attached that told about various steps in the production process.

Later in the night, the girls treated us to a runway show to reveal their new collaborate capsule that featured artwork by Mari Eastman. Following the runway show, was a lively upbeat roller skating dance that got the whole crowd roaring in excitement! As if the night couldn't get more exciting, the girls finished the night with live entertainment from Susanna Hoff of The Bangles!

The girls put on one heck of a party, but it's not the party that drew the people in. It was loyalty. One woman, their very first customer to be accurate, stated that she has been with the girls for 15 years. This customer is almost the same age as the Mulleavy sister's parents and they often spend time together in personal settings. When asked what has kept her a loyal customer, the answer was simple,
"I love their clothes, but those girls are just the absolute sweetest."
I asked Laura Mulleavy what kind of legacy she wants to leave behind, and she said
"I want to keep going. I have no agenda or legacy in mind. I'm just going to keep going".
It's safe to assume that some of the best legacys are ones that aren't planned. You just need to stay consistent and keep going.
You can find all these 80's vibes to be sold now at Fred Segal until August 14th and of course, their website.

Millions of us use diesel cars on the road, but for those of us who have one, you could unwittingly end up with a heavy fine by making one costly mistake.
With diesel cars producing more toxic emissions than their petrol counterparts, by law they are fitted with a diesel particular filter.
These remove toxic particles, including soot, from exhaust fumes before they are released into the environment, in theory making them more eco-friendly.
The law has been in force for nearly 20 years, making it highly unlikely that you will find a diesel vehicle on the road without one, while they have been mandatory on new cars since 2009 as part of a drive to cut carbon dioxide emissions into the environment.
Which is a good thing, because if your car is not fitted with one, you could land yourself in hot water.
Any motorist caught without a diesel particulate filter, known as a DPF, on their cars could face a fine of up to £1,000.
For those of us with a van, it could prove even more costly, with financial penalties of up to £2,500 for anyone flouting the law.
Any DPF that has been removed or modified could also result in your car insurance becoming invalid.
While the vast majority of drivers are probably not even aware what a DPF is or does, those buying a car second hand are advised to check for it, as it will be you who incurs the penalty if you purchase a vehicle without one and you are later caught.
It is a costly item to replace if it is missing or gets broken, with the cost of a new DPF ranging from £1,000 to £3,500 depending on the manufacturer.
Always worth checking, therefore, that you have one on your car.

PL Thomas & Co. Inc. has launched Natural Vitamin K2 as a newly-available proprietary extract under the trademark MenaQ7. Natural Vitamin K2 helps keep calcium in the bones and out of the arteries, providing significant potential health benefits, according to the company.
MenaQ7 provides Natural Vitamin K2 as an extract of natto, a fermented soy food from Japan. Natto is particularly rich in the highly bio-available form of vitamin K2 called menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Studies of Natto consumption in Japan have linked menaquinone-7 to greater bone health and reduction in risk factors.
Natural Vitamin K2 also may provide significant benefit to cardiovascular health due to its roles in calcium utilization and promoting matrix Gla-protein, a potent inhibitor of vascular calcification. For example, in a study published in The Journal of Nutrition with over 4,000 participants, those with the highest natural K2 consumption had a 50% reduction in risk of cardiovascular events.
"We are excited to introduce this ingredient exclusively in North America," said Paul Flowerman, president of P.L. Thomas & Co. "MenaQ7 provides K2 as menaquinone-7 with significant potential for health benefits. Also, the natural form of K2 is much more bio-available and has a longer half-life than the synthetic K2, called menatetrenone-4, that is currently available in the market."
PL Thomas entered into an exclusive agreement with NattoPharma, UK, to distribute Natural Vitamin K2, which is produced in Japan.

Banana Shpeel – Cast announced for Chicago production
Posted on October 15, 2009 by Scotty Zacher
Stars from Broadway's Jersey Boys and Wicked join cast
Playing at the Chicago Theatre from November 19 – January 3
Stars from Broadway's Jersey Boys and Wicked will join the distinctive cast of comedic and dance talent in the brand new theatrical production, Banana Shpeel, presented by Cirque du Soleil and MSG Entertainment. Banana Shpeel begins performances at The Chicago Theatre on November 19, with an official Opening Night on Wednesday, December 2. The limited Chicago engagement concludes January 3, 2010, and Banana Shpeel debuts in New York at The Beacon Theatre in February 2010.
Michael Longoria, who starred as Frankie Valli in the Broadway production of Jersey Boys, will portray Emmett, an innocent and romantic young actor, while Annaleigh Ashford, who starred as Glinda in Wicked on Broadway and in Chicago, portrays Emmett's love interest Katie, and Remo Airaldi, a prolific resident company member of Boston's acclaimed American Repertory Theater, portrays Schmelky, a cruel and irritable theater producer. Joining them is an international crew of comedic actors: Claudio Carneiro (Brazil), Daniel Passer (U.S.), Patrick de Valette (France), Gordon White (Canada), and Wayne Wilson (U.S.). In keeping with Cirque du Soleil's unique and diverse performers, global talents showcased in Banana Shpeel include Russian hand balancer Dmitry Bulkin, Vietnamese juggler Tuan Le, Spanish foot juggler Vanessa Alvarez, and the American sister-brother tap dance duo, Joseph and Josette Wiggan. Completing the cast is a talented ensemble comprised of 10 "triple threats": singer-actor-dancers Robyn Baltzer, Alex Ellis, Adrienne Jean Fisher, DeWitt Fleming Jr., Luke Hawkins, Kathleen Hennessey, Adrienne Reid, Anthony J. Russo, Melissa Schott, and Steven T. Williams.
Under the direction of Band Leader Robert Cookman, the Banana Shpeel original score is performed live on stage by Roland Barber (trombone), Bobby Brennan (bass), James Campagnola (multi-instrumental), Iohann Laliberté (drums), Jean-François Ouellet (saxophone), Peter Sachon (cello) and Scott Steen (trumpet).
Banana Shpeel is a roller-coaster mix of styles that blends comedy with tap, hip hop, eccentric dance and slapstick, all linked by a narrative that ignites a succession of wacky adventures. This is not circus, or a musical or a variety show, or even vaudeville. It is Banana Shpeel!
Synopsis: Propelled by crazy humor and intense choreography, Banana Shpeel plunges us into the world of Schmelky, who dangles fame and fortune in front of Emmett, who has come to audition for him.

Ulster nationalism is a minor school of thought in the politics of Northern Ireland that seeks the independence of Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom without joining the Republic of Ireland, thereby becoming an independent sovereign state separate from both.

Independence has been supported by groups such as Ulster Third Way and some factions of the Ulster Defence Association. However, it is a fringe view in Northern Ireland. It is neither supported by any of the political parties represented in the Northern Ireland Assembly nor by the government of the United Kingdom or the government of the Republic of Ireland.

Although the term Ulster traditionally refers to one of the four traditional provinces of Ireland which contains Northern Ireland as well as parts of the Republic of Ireland, the term is often used within unionism and Ulster loyalism (from which Ulster nationalism originated) to refer to Northern Ireland.

History

Craig in 1921
In November 1921, during negotiations for the Anglo-Irish Treaty, there was correspondence between David Lloyd George and Sir James Craig, respective prime ministers of the UK and Northern Ireland. Lloyd George envisaged a choice for Northern Ireland between, on the one hand, remaining part of the UK under the Government of Ireland Act 1920, while what had been Southern Ireland became a Dominion; and, on the other hand, becoming part of an all-Ireland Dominion where the Stormont parliament was subordinate to a parliament in Dublin instead of Westminster. Craig responded that a third option would be for Northern Ireland to be a Dominion in parallel with Southern Ireland and the "Overseas Dominions", saying "while Northern Ireland would deplore any loosening of the tie between Great Britain and herself she would regard the loss of representation at Westminster as a less evil than inclusion in an all-Ireland Parliament".

W. F. McCoy and Dominion status
Ulster nationalism has its origins in 1946 when W. F. McCoy, a former cabinet minister in the government of Northern Ireland, advocated this option. He wanted Northern Ireland to become a dominion with a political system similar to Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the then Union of South Africa, or the Irish Free State prior to 1937. McCoy, a lifelong member of the Ulster Unionist Party, felt that the uncertain constitutional status of Northern Ireland made the Union vulnerable and so saw his own form of limited Ulster nationalism as a way to safeguard Northern Ireland's relationship with the United Kingdom.

Some members of the Ulster Vanguard movement, led by Bill Craig, in the early 1970s published similar arguments, most notably Professor Kennedy Lindsay. In the early 1970s, in the face of the British government prorogation of the government of Northern Ireland, Craig, Lindsay and others argued in favour of a unilateral declaration of independence (UDI) from Great Britain similar to that declared in Rhodesia a few years previously. Lindsay later founded the British Ulster Dominion Party to this end but it faded into obscurity around 1979.

Loyalism and Ulster nationalism
Whilst early versions of Ulster nationalism had been designed to safeguard the status of Northern Ireland, the movement saw something of a rebirth in the 1970s, particularly following the 1972 suspension of the Parliament of Northern Ireland and the resulting political uncertainty in the region. Glenn Barr, a Vanguard Unionist Progressive Party Assemblyman and Ulster Defence Association leader, described himself in 1973 as "an Ulster nationalist". The successful Ulster Workers Council Strike in 1974 (which was directed by Barr) was later described by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Merlyn Rees as an "outbreak of Ulster nationalism". Labour Prime Minister Jim Callaghan also thought an independent Northern Ireland might be viable.

After the strike loyalism began to embrace Ulster nationalist ideas, with the UDA, in particular, advocating this position. Firm proposals for an independent Ulster were produced in 1976 by the Ulster Loyalist Central Co-ordinating Committee and in 1977 by the UDA's New Ulster Political Research Group. The NUPRG document, Beyond the Religious Divide, has been recently republished with a new introduction. John McMichael, as candidate for the UDA-linked Ulster Loyalist Democratic Party, campaigned for the 1982 South Belfast by-election on the basis of negotiations towards independence. However, McMichael's poor showing of 576 votes saw the plans largely abandoned by the UDA soon after, although the policy was still considered by the Ulster Democratic Party under Ray Smallwoods. A short-lived Ulster Independence Party also operated, although the assassination of its leader, John McKeague, in 1982 saw it largely disappear.

Post-Anglo-Irish Agreement
The idea enjoyed something of a renaissance in the aftermath of the Anglo-Irish Agreement, with the Ulster Clubs amongst those to consider the notion. After a series of public meetings, leading Ulster Clubs member, Reverend Hugh Ross, set up the Ulster Independence Committee in 1988, which soon re-emerged as the Ulster Independence Movement advocating full independence of Northern Ireland from Britain. After a reasonable showing in the 1990 Upper Bann by-election, the group stepped up its campaigning in the aftermath of the Downing Street Declaration and enjoyed a period of increased support immediately after the Good Friday Agreement (also absorbing the Ulster Movement for Self-Determination, which desired all of Ulster as the basis for independence, along the way). No tangible electoral success was gained however, and the group was further damaged by allegations against Ross in a Channel 4 documentary on collusion, The Committee, leading to the group reconstituting as a ginger group in 2000.

With the UIM defunct, Ulster nationalism was then represented by the Ulster Third Way, which was involved in the publication of the Ulster Nation, a journal of radical Ulster nationalism. Ulster Third Way, which registered as a political party in February 2001, was the Northern Ireland branch of the UK-wide Third Way, albeit with much stronger emphasis on the Northern Ireland question. Ulster Third Way contested the West Belfast parliamentary seat in the 2001 general election, although candidate and party leader David Kerr failed to attract much support.

Northern Irish independence is still seen by some members of society as a way of moving forward in terms of the political crisis that continues to haunt Northern Irish politics even today. Some economists and politicians see an independent state as viable but others believe that Northern Ireland would not survive unless it had the support of the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland. Although it is not supported by a political party, around 533,085 declared in the 2011 census to be Northern Irish. This identity does not mean they believe in independence, however in a poll based upon what the future policy for Northern Ireland should be, 15% of the poll voters were in favour of Northern Irish independence.

Relationship to unionism

Ulster nationalism represents a reaction from within unionism to the perceived uncertainty of the future of the Union by the British government. Its leadership and members have all been unionists and have tended to react to what they viewed as crises surrounding the status of Northern Ireland as a part of the United Kingdom, such as the moves towards power-sharing in the 1970s or the Belfast Agreement of 1998, which briefly saw the UIM become a minor force. In such instances it has been considered preferable by the supporters of this ideological movement to remove the British dimension either partially (Commonwealth realm status) or fully (independence) to avoid a united Ireland.

However, whilst support for Ulster nationalism has tended to be reactive to political change, the theory also underlines the importance of Ulster cultural nationalism and the separate identity and culture of Ulster. As such, Ulster nationalist movements have been at the forefront of supporting the Orange Order and supporting contested 12 July marches as important parts of this cultural heritage, as well as encouraging the retention of the Ulster Scots dialects.

Outside traditional Protestant-focused Ulster nationalism, a non-sectarian independent Northern Ireland has sometimes been advocated as a solution to the conflict. Two notable examples of this are the Scottish Marxist Tom Nairn and the Irish nationalist Liam de Paor.

Home [english] Region North Africa & Middle (...) Egypt Egypt: Continued arbitrary
Egypt: Continued arbitrary detention and judicial harassment of human rights defenders Ms. Yara Sallam, Ms. Sana Seif and 22 protesters
New information
EGY 002 / 0614 / OBS 058.2
Arbitrary detention / Judicial harassment /
Obstacles to freedom of peaceful assembly
The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a joint programme of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), has received new information and requests your urgent intervention in the following situation in Egypt.
The Observatory has been informed by the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) about the continued arbitrary detention and judicial harassment of human rights defenders Ms. Yara Sallam, Transitional Justice Officer at EIPR, and Ms. Sana Seif, a member of the "No to Military Trials for Civilians" movement and sister of the imprisonment blogger Mr. Alaa Abdel Fattah, as well as 22 protesters [1].
According to the information received, on June 29, 2014, the trial against Ms. Yara Sallam and Ms. Sana Seif, together with 21 other individuals who had peacefully protested for the repeal of Law No.107 for 2013 on demonstrations and public rallies, started[2].
Though the session was due to take place at the Heliopolis Courthouse, at the time set for the start of the session lawyers and family members were informally told that the hearing of the case would transferred to the Police Academy inside the high security Tora Prison. They had to rush across the city to attend the trial. Access to the courtroom was heavily restricted: families of the detainees were denied access and defence lawyers and journalists faced difficulties to access the room. One journalist who tried to take a photograph had his equipment confiscated and was removed from the courtroom.
During the hearing, the defence lawyers requested to examine and verify the validity of the evidence presented against the defendants by the prosecution including audio-visual material on the demonstration. The court granted this request, however the request for provisional release of the defendants on bail was rejected by the court.
The judge closed the hearing session and left the courtroom without informing the lawyers about the date of the next hearing. The Court's security guards then told the lawyers that the next hearing was scheduled on September 13, 2014.
The Observatory is highly concerned about the handling of the case by the judicial authorities and the numerous breaches to the right to fair trial, including the right to defence and the right to the publicity of the debates.
The Observatory is further concerned by the lack of evidence and inconsistencies in the police reports on which the charges of damaging property are based. According to EIPR, a police report claims that a police vehicle was damaged at 9:30pm on June 21, 2014 while most defendants had been arrested earlier. Furthermore, no weapons or other items were seized from the defendants or presented as evidence.
The Observatory also notes that the 23 defendants in detention were supposed to appear before the court on June 25 after the expiry of their four-day detention. However, the defendants were not brought to court, and the Prosecution instead issued an indictment order, before the defendants had a chance to challenge their pre-trial detention before an independent judicial body.
The Observatory recalls that the restrictive protest law has been used by the authorities as a tool to imprison human rights defenders. This controversial law bans gatherings of 10 or more people without a permit issued by the authorities.
The Observatory welcomes the call of the ACHPR Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders in Africa to immediately release Ms. Yara Sallam and all detained protesters, and to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the situation.
The Observatory expresses its deepest concern regarding the ongoing arbitrary detention and judicial harassment of Ms. Yara Sallam, Ms. Sana Seif and the other above-mentioned protesters, which seem to aim only at preventing them from carrying out their peaceful human rights activities, and calls upon the Egyptian judicial authorities to immediately and unconditionally release them.
On June 21, 2014, the police dispersed by using tear gas a peaceful march that was organised in the Heliopolis neighbourhood in Cairo to demand the repeal of the Law 107 of 2013 on demonstrations and public rallies (the "Anti-Protest Law") as well as the release of those detained under said law. In this framework, the police arrested more than 30 individuals, including Ms. Yara Sallam and her cousin Shehab Fakhry Ismail. It should be highlighted that the two were picked up in the vicinity of the protest between 7 and 8 pm by security forces as they were buying drinks from a local kiosk and not while participating in any demonstration.
Some of the detainees reported insults and ill-treatment, including beatings by "muwatinin shurafa" (plain-clothed police collaborators) during and after the arrest . Those arrested were questioned without the presence of their lawyers, mostly individually, by men in civilian dress who did not introduce themselves or clarify their official positions. The arrestees were asked whether they participated in the protest and were questioned about their political affiliations and opinions about the protest law. According to testimonies, officials pressured them into confessing their participation and threatened to charge them with belonging to the banned Muslim Brotherhood and/or the 6th of April Movement. Later the same day, eight of the arrestees were released without charge, including Ms. Sallam's cousin. On June 22, 2014, 24 were presented before the Prosecutor's office.
During her interrogation, Ms. Sallam was questioned about the nature of her work and about EIPR's management.
On June 23, 2014, the Heliopolis Prosecution Office ordered the detention until June 25, 2014 of Ms. Yara Sallam, Ms. Sana Seif as well as 21 other individuals on charges of "breaching the protest law" under the "Anti-Protest Law, "sabotaging public properties", "possession of inflammable materials" and "taking part in showing off force with the objective of terrorizing the public" for their alleged participation in a peaceful march. Another individual was released on medical grounds[3].
On June 24, 2014, the two women human rights defenders as well as five women protesters were transferred to Qanatir Prison, 15 male detainees to Tora Prison, and one juvenile to Al-Marg juvenile prison. This followed the extension by the prosecution of the detention of these 23 individuals on June 23, 2014 for four days, as well as the release on bail of another one on the same day.
On June 25, 2014, the Heliopolis Public Prosecution transferred the case to the Heliopolis Misdemeanor Court. It mentioned 12 provisions in the indictment order: articles 162, 361, 375 (bis), 375 (bisA) of the Penal Code, articles 1 to 4 of Law 10 for 1914 on Gatherings; and articles 7, 8, 19, 21 of Law No.107 for 2013 on demonstrations and public rallies. These provisions include: "participating in an unauthorised demonstration whose aim was to stop the implementation of the law and influence the effectiveness of the public authorities during the carrying out of their work"; "organising a demonstration without prior notice as stipulated by the law and participating in a demonstration that breached and threatened public security and the interests of citizens and disrupted transportation and transgressed public and private property"; "using force and violence to terrorise and intimidate citizens"; and "deliberately destructing property owned by the aggrieved party as proven through investigations".
Actions requested:
Please write to the authorities of Egypt asking them to:

its Article 1, which provides that "everyone has the right, individually and in association with others, to promote and to strive for the protection and realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms at the national and international levels";
its Article 5(a): "For the purpose of promoting and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms, everyone has the right, individually and in association with others, at the national and international levels (a) To meet or assemble peacefully"

v. Ensure in all circumstances respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in accordance with international human rights standards and international instruments ratified by Egypt.
