"Were you ever out in the great alone when the moon shone awful clear

For plane spotters, here are the registration numbers of the flights in question. Please note they have gone through Shannon. Please note also, that these flights are using "diplomatic immunity" to evade control, in the process breaching sovreignty of nuetral nations and insulting allies of NATO. It has gone beyond the stage of the benefit of the doubt. These flights are not transporting "tippy toppy interpreters on call".

On 12 November a
protest
against the US military bases, which are going to be situated near the
villages Novo Selo, Bezmer and near the Burgas' port, took place in Sofia
(Bulgaria's capitol). More than 500 people marched through the central streets
of Sofia, expressing their stand against all military bases. The protest ended
in front of the National Theater "Ivan Vazov". In the protest took part the anarcho-block of autonomous antiauthoritarian group "AnarchoResistance"
(around 60 people). Few nationalists from BNS (Bulgarian National Union) were
also there but left quickly after the demo.
On the evening of 10 November two activists were arrested and brutally beaten
by the police, while they were sticking posters for the protest near the
Synagogue. ... read full story / add a comment

Irish Frog Farm to close

Liberation
At the end of October the largest breeder of frogs in Europe for vivisection was visited by the ALF, with appropriate messages left behind. Their details were published not long afterwards. And now this beautiful bit of info...

ALF Ireland received information from Denis McCarthy of the Frog Farm,
Kells, Co. Meath that he has agreed to close down his business in April
2006, he has also agreed not to sell the business on.
As thousands of frogs are taken from the wild every month and tortured to death in vivisection labs around the world because of his activities we demand that Denis McCarthy end his business at the end of December 2005. Until he ceases trading and all of his equipment is given to animal
welfarists for rescue use he will remain a legitimate target.

IRA - North Armagh Brigade

On thursday, 10th november as i watched the evening news i saw a report of a women who informed the viewers of how the MOD came knocking on her door delivering news that her partner had been killedby the Iraqi Resistance forces.

Damn imperialists i thought, they get what they deserve! Further more i thought how would i repond if someone came to my door to inform me that a Comrade had been killed?

The following day i was completely and uterly shocked to read on one of the Celtic e news lists that Martin Conlon had been killed in 'mysterious circumstances on Monday, 6th November.'

I would like to pay a tribute to the late Vol. Martin 'Golfball' Conlon. Golfball was a good friend, a Comrade, unrepentant in every sense of the word, a true Republican. ... read full story / add a comment

This week the second and final meeting of the "World Summit on the Information Society" takes place in Tunis, starting on Wednesday.

Present will be the current "web masters" the USA and the principle partners who created the www most notably Switzerland (who co-organised with the UN the first phase), and a plethora of states who don't allow their citizens freedom of speech or association.

The UN wants to change the "US webmaster" balance in favour of one of four options which would give control to UN appointed bodies.

Many other states, just want to stop the internet.
