While of course the Irish law enforcement authorities have a duty to intern the US armed forces and their aircraft at Shannon, and no amount of "security breaches" around the perimeter fence could come close to the risks posed by the bomb laden US military cargo aircraft at Shannon... this one *is* a gem... My dad just emailed me this from Ireland, I didn't see it myself but I guess you can check it up yourself on the RTE website too: read full story / add a comment

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi proclaimed the readiness of his Global Country of World Peace to achieve the "seemingly impossible - to transform today's problem-ridden world by creating prevention-oriented, problem-free administration in every country. To do so, Maharishi revealed his Vedic technologies of consciousness to eliminate "karma" - to prevent the negative influences of past wrong actions by a nation's people from creating new problems and suffering for the whole country. read full story / add a comment

There seems to be something a bit odd happening on RTE in the last few days. I'm sure that most people can agree that our state/commercial news sources are far from unbiased but I think that there has been a new tendency towards a more overt slant recently. read full story / add a comment

I'm so sorry to see that the camp is being disbanded. It was manned and womanned by groups and individuals who feel that (while having diverse viewpoints and agendas) we cannot stand back this time and do nothing. I hope that the anti war movement grows from strength to strength. read full story / add a comment

According to the article, The Regime is sputtering with rage over Chirac's refusal to accept his marching orders against Iraq. The Regime has also expressed its contempt for the German government. An observation here: The position that Chirac has taken is commendable as far as it goes, but unless Iraq is placed under the protection of a French nuclear umbrella a la USA and Japan, the end result looks like it's going to be the same. As Arundhati Roy has pointed out, it is not sufficient to confront Empire, it is necessary to place it under siege. read full story / add a comment

It has just been announced on RTE that World Airlines (the main transporter of US troops through Shannon) is to dramatically reduce their visits to Shannon Airport - as a direct result of recent anti-war protests! It seems that a diversity of tactics is beginning to have a real impact. Next stop: Dublin, 15 February. read full story / add a comment
