"they're not in Poland or Romania".

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

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.
