This is an interesting development considering the recent moves by Russia to effectively try and boot Shell out of Sakhalin-1 over concerns about the environment. And while environmental damage is likely to have been done, it is very unlikely really the concern of the Russian government. read full story / add a comment

He’s a crook and we know it well before now! Why waste more time?

I’ll tell you why I say that it is unimportant what Bertie took in any single scoop, because while our political wasters are up there in the Dáil, supposedly discussing why we should or should not allow a crook at our helm, the Irish state is blazing into Rossport along with an international crime syndicate and are stealing our resources with the aid of our so called protectors – an Garda Siochána.

We have oil and gas off our coast, which is the envy of all of Europe and our political elite are cover up its theft right under our very noses. read full story / add a comment

The debate did not begin at precisely 16.15 pm, because Michael Mc Dowell
was still taking questions on Thornton Hall. The Taoiseach very quietly slipped
in and as if by magic stood up for his less than robust defence of the monies.
(received/gifted/loaned-etc)

The order of busines was simple enough:- Bertie got 15 minutes,
everyone else got 5 minutes. The Ceanncomhairle would not answer
reply, confirm or deny the use of a 'script' and it really went downhill from there. read full story / add a comment

The Australian Attorney General, Philip Ruddock, once again demonstrates who and what he is; not content with making a thorough ass of himself in the recent past [link below] Ruddock now attempts to redeem himself by making a grab for the title of totalitarian buffoon of the new century. Australia now holds the dubious distinction of being the first developed (first world) ‘democratic’ nation in the new century to ban books! These blatant totalitarian tactics place Ruddock in interesting company; Chinese Cultural Revolution, Pol Pot year zero, Nazi book burnings, etc; Hello, Mr. Orwell! read full story / add a comment

Minister Mc Dowell , not content with the role of Tanaiste and the over-long
data retention of all Irish citizens e-mail/phone/fax records for a period of three
years introduced on July 4th 2006 two bills, known as the Privacy and defamation bills.

The choice of date was ironic given that it ties in with the whole US/UK terror
alert and concommitent reduction in civil liberties which we have fought for
and taken for granted through the last couple of centuries.

It has been criticised by Journalists all over Europe and In Ireland, but
that is just grist to the mill. The elite in fortress europe will protect
their rights and reduce yours and those of your children.

Has a short analysis of the Privacy Bill.

Has three or four pdf downloads which comprise the junket rationalisation
of Privacy/Defamation, but no-one is fooled.
