(c) Irish Independent Nov 17th 2005, Tom Brady (security editor who never got off his arse to investigate prisoners being "rendered" at Shannon) Freedom of speech crackdown THE law is to be changed to deter radicals making inflammatory remarks that could put Ireland's security at risk. The planned move was disclosed yesterday by Defence Minister Willie O'Dea who said the Government could not guarantee that other threats would not be issued against Ireland by fundamentalists prepared to abuse the freedom of speech. But it was proposed to toughen existing legislation to act as a deterrent against a repeat of the comments made by Islamic lawyer Anjem Choudary in Trinity College in Dublin last week. Mr O'Dea said he had received huge public reaction against the remarks which suggested Ireland could be attacked by international terror groups because US war planes were allowed to refuel in Shannon.

Rumsfeld’s visit is timely, it coincides with nationwide dissent and protest against IR and draconian anti-terrorist laws recently implemented by leading US lackey and coward extraordinaire, John Howard. read full story / add a comment

Latest twist in the killing of De Menezes on July 22 in london at Kennington tube station. The Daily Telegraph has revealed that the police who killed Jean Charles de Menezes used _illegal_ "dum dum" bullets. ["Modern hollow point bullets are descendants of the expanding "dum dum" ammunition created by the British in an arsenal of the same name near Calcutta, in India, at the end of the 19th century and outlawed under the Hague Declaration of 1899. The bullets, which expand and splinter on impact, were available to officers taking part in Operation Kratos, the national police drive against suspected suicide bombers which has been described as a "shoot to kill" policy."] read full story / add a comment

This year, 18 people are dead, and so many friends, family and people are affected. Last year, it was 8 deaths in a turf war. The turf war is territory and the war relates to the sale of illegal drugs that destroy peoples' lives. I believe in everybody having a degree of self reliance in and input to halting this plague of mind distortion so called pleasure. The articles in New Scientist are worth a read. This week's article is second from the bottom.....the title is what motivates me to write, the remainder of my comment is about contextualising the effects of drugs on long term and health and in particular the consequences of mental health problems as a direct consequence of addiction. Let the children know. Why don't we have some for of game that shows you how unpleasant it is when your mind goes ary..... http://www.newscientist.com read full story / add a comment |
