Most of these are confirmed military flights, others need investigation. The number of flights is way over what the Government admits. and don't be put off by claims of "it's only going to Italy" A well worn flight path for the middle east war zone includes refuelling at Gander, Newfoundland, Shannon, Ireland, Sigonella (US Naval Air Station) in Siciliy, and then the Middle East... see Kuwait or Bahrain. Read this then ask more questions from the people who have misled you. read full story / add a comment

It is perhaps fitting that when later today Mary Kelly receives the Michael Flannery Memorial Award in Queens, New York, she will be in jail. Her real, symbolic act in taking a hatchet to the U.S. war machine puts her in good company. As the Anglo-American Imperium embarks on their mad mission to control the world Mary's gallant action links the oldest anti-imperialist struggle of all, that of Ireland's people, with the developing struggle against imperialisms current manifestation led by Bush and his English poodle, Blair. Michael Flannery took up arms against British imperialism in his native county Tipperary and when exiled continued the struggle. There are those who will try to coast on Mary Kelly's bravery and sacrifice, but still the truth is clear: a felons cap is the noblest crown an Irish head can wear. read full story / add a comment

Subject: U.S. Supreme Court Justice Jackson on crime of aggressive war. Subject: NAZIS WERE HANGED FOR 'PRE-EMPTIVE WAR' "We must make clear to the Germans that the wrong for which their fallen leaders are on trial is not that they lost the war, but that they started it. And we must not allow ourselves to be drawn into a trial of the causes of the war, for our position is that no grievances or policies will justify resort to aggressive war. It is utterly renounced and condemned as an instrument of policy." --Supreme Court Justice Robert L. Jackson, Chief U.S. Prosecutor at the Nuremberg Tribunal, August 12, 1945. read full story / add a comment

As the political finger wagging and mutterings of disapproval continue the grip we have on our current power to make a difference is quickly fading from our view, being replaced by the dark shadow of the American war machine which - when maximum momentum is reached - will roar blindly through all opposition and hear no one over the sound of their own engines. read full story / add a comment |
