PHIL SOCIETY PRESIDENT SORCHA RYDER: DIDN’T YOU KNOW THE PHIL’S A SHAM AND SCAM?

TRINITY PHIL SOCIETY A SHAM AND SCAM:  So Says Sorcha Ryder’s Defender On 14 July 2018, I was informed by Sorcha Ryder, President of the Trinity University Philosophical Society (Dublin), that I was “chosen to receive the Honorary Patronage of the University Philosophical Society” and that I had “topped the lists of elected Patrons voted on by Fellows, Staff and Students of the College.” But it slowly dawned on Ryder that receiving me wasn’t a prudent career move.

A Trinity College Alumnus Speaks!

Soumis par Aggregation le dim, 02/03/2019 - 03:44
Dear Dr Finkelstein,
It was not that long ago that I attended a lecture you gave in Dublin, at the invitation of the UCD philosophical society. Even though you were under the weather at the time, you nevertheless gave a stimulating talk. It was very well attended. UCD is my old Alma Mater where I qualified in 1974 so I was quite proud to be present on that occasion.The following evening you were invited by the Phil to give a talk at Trinity College. I would like to have attended there also but was unfortunately unable to do so.

BREXIT UPDATE: PART 1: THE NORTHERN IRELAND BACKSTOP Last Tuesday (January 15) the British House of Commons rejected Theresa May’s Brexit deal by 230 votes.  The parliamentary defeat was the largest sustained by any British government in history; the previous record was held by Ramsay Macdonald in 1924, who lost by 166 votes.  Why was the deal defeated – and by such a massive majority? THE NORTHERN IRELAND BACKSTOP The crux of the deal’s rejection by Parliament is the Northern Ireland backstop. What is the Northern Ireland backstop?

WHEN THE STENCH OF CORRUPTION REEKS TO HIGH HEAVEN: Sorcha Ryder, Niamh Lynch, and Truth

WHEN THE STENCH OF CORRUPTION REEKS TO HIGH HEAVEN An Open Letter to Students, Faculty and Staff at Trinity College (Dublin)     If one’s olfactory organ comes under assault from the foul stench of official corruption, then what’s to be done: cover one’s nose or clear the air?   I’ve opted for the latter civic course of action.

From a Correspondent. (He’s right. The comments are UNBELIEVABLE!)

I think the BDS and its controversies have pushed Israel lobby hands to do something that has divided further American jews on the question of Israel. 
 
A look at the comment section gives a feel that AIPAC and their agents have shot themselves in the foot using U.S. lawmakers.
