This weekend, Shannon airport was almost deserted of civilian air traffic. However, its transformation into a WARPORT is no longer just a slogan, it comes close to reality. On Saturday the usual OMNI Air US troop-carrying planes were joined by a Hercules C130 probably transporting munitions to the US wars on Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iraq. An oil-tanker was docked at the Shannon airport Jetty delivering aviation fuel to fuel the aircraft including the warplanes. On Sunday Top-Oil oil company was refuelling another Hercules C130 in the centre of the airport. An Irish Army patrol performed security duties, instead of arresting the potential war criminals.

Back when Michael Jackson died a military-industrial-corporate coup d'etat began in Honduras with collusion of a section of the Pentagon, pharmaceutical corporations, Honduran judges & transnational lobbies. The coup resulted in the exile of the legitimate Honduran president, flown out of his state in his pyjamas to Costa Rica, whose leader would later try without success to broker a 7 point agreement. The usurpation of Zelaya took on greater significance as geopolitical balances changed in the Latin American hemisphere. President Zelaya has now returned to the capital of his country with 4 others & is in residence in the Brazilian diplomatic compound as an honoured guest afforded not only ferrero rocher whenever he wants but also the more meaningful political and military protection of Latin America's pre-eminent power, Brazil. Hugo Chavez has described how Zelaya and his team had passed through Honduras, incognito, braving their lives to take up their present position in Brazil's legation. ... read full story / add a comment

In his first political foray since the 2007 general election, Mr Michael McEvil, former attorney general and the man who is credited with destroying the Progressive Democrat Party, entered the debate on the Lisbon Treaty by launching a new organisation- Evil People for Lisbon.

In a statement, Mr McHorrible, who had returned from hell for the occasion, claimed that the debate on Lisbon needed to be nuanced and not a “phony Punch and Judy show” between the two sides. A section of the population is being excluded from the debate, he said, the evil people.

"There needs to be a space for truly evil people, the racists, fascists, and those who have always rejected workers' rights, peace, and disarmament as genuine goals."
