In discussion with a member of the Rossport Five last autumn mention was made of the fact that he believed the government were planning to make a big, election-winning announcement about the discovery of oil off our shores in time to secure a resounding victory at the next election. A tiny item in today's Irish Daily Mirror might point to something in that direction too:

While the idea of comparing one gross act of terrorism to another gross act of terrorism seems as odious a comparison as any, there is nevertheless an appropriate comparison to be drawn where one gross act of terrorism is a direct precursor to the second. And when two acts of terrorism are the defining moments of the century in terms of Western foreign policy, comparison becomes an urgent necessity. ... read full story / add a comment

22/12/2006 - 17:49:2

I Donal Roche wish to have these standards applied to my case. Please visit my blog and ask your local politicians to do the right thing in 2007. How long must I wait for justice? Where are my former comrades in arms?

Disciplinary procedures in the Irish Defence Forces are to be radically overhauled.

The new system will mirror the civil legal process in a military environment.

According to thelong running Wayne Madsen website, who is a former intelligence officer in the US, there are reports from captains of tankers which would have methane sensors onboard due to their cargo, that there has been an increase in alarms going off on these sensors and that it is in fact not caused by their cargo, but Methane gas escaping or bubbling up from the Ocean floor especially along the Hudson Submarine Canyon over the eastern USA. ... read full story / add a comment

The Whitehouse is in damage control over the bungled execution of Saddam Hussein. The hurried execution backfired in the worst possible way; a vanquished leader should never be allowed to continue his work from the ‘grave’. Anthropologists are familiar with appeasement rituals and ceremonies for the dead, which are common to numerous cultures. In the wake of Saddam’s bungled execution these curious rituals begin to make sense. ... read full story / add a comment

The disappearance of Julio Lopez, an aging former political prisoner and important state witness in the trial of a former police investigator found guilty of human rights abuses electrified the social movement in Argentina back in November. Despite mobilisations and the appearance of graffiti demanding action from the Kirchner government all over the capital, there are now further hints of present day dirty tactics by police connected to the former dictatership. On the same day that Spain resolved to arrest former police officer and alleged death squad leader Rodolfo Almiro, a second disappeared witness in trials against military officers - Luis Angel Gerez - suddenly reappeared. This reappearance comes amidst widespread claims that hundreds of threats have been made against human rights and social movement activists in the capital and across the country, as usual Upsidedownworld.org has the latest... ... read full story / add a comment

I just accidently became involved in what has turned out to be the biggest house-building fraud in this so-called United Kingdon when I purchased one of these totally defective and criminally and illegaly built dwellings in 1976. This fraud has now been successfully covered up by all the political parties in Northern Ireland for 30 years. The British Government even allowed the lawful findings of the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Complaints to be overturned to protect the corrupt cover-up of this fraud by Down District Council. The 'catholic' SDLP has led the cover-up in Down District Council.
