Bush has now authorised spying on Alcatel. Alcatel has a large operation in Ireland and if Bush has his way and the NSA has the right to examine all Alcatels' records and keep it under constant surveillance, the calls of Irish mobile phone users will be available to the US. All because Bush claims Alcatel, "might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States". ... read full story / add a comment

Foreboding has hit the ranks of private equity firms; try as they might to unload vast amounts of funds (monetary value is inextricably linked to the movement of those funds) they have been unable to spend/invest at a rate that would sustain value let alone increase real profits! The ‘healthy figures’ reflecting increased acquisitions/investments are on paper only – it ‘looks good’ at the moment! ... read full story / add a comment

THE Erris-based football club, Valley Rovers has sensationally pulled out of this year's FAI Junior Cup. The club officially notified the FAI of its intention to withdraw yesterday (Monday). They described the action as a "boycotting" one taken on the grounds that the high profile knock-out challenge is sponsored by Statoil, who are one of Shell E&P Ireland Ltd's partners in the Corrib gas project in Erris. The Statoil FAI Junior Cup is one of the biggest soccer knock out tournaments in Europe. In an official statement Valley Rovers F.C. said it had been disappointed to see local people from its parish, Kilcommon, being treated in a "heavy handed manner" by Gardaí as they protested at Shell's first attempts to resume work at the terminal site in Bellanaboy. ... read full story / add a comment

This is obviously interesting as a spin on the Shell to Sea campaign, that people shouldn't be interested in it because Sinn Féin support it, and the fact that it chimes in with SF politics should make everyone wary of it. What is also fascinating is the insight into the worldview of the author (and by extension, those who pay him and read him). He believes that if something reminds people of the recent conflict in and about Nothern Ireland, then people in the rest of the country will turn off from it. Not because of the issues, but just because it brings up unhappy associations. Therefore if the police want to diminish public support, they should baton charge the protesters, the author seems to be saying. Perhaps plastic bullets would be the next logical step in Mayo? ... read full story / add a comment

Both FEIC and DAWC were today calling on the council to stand by that commitment, following evidence unearthed by the North West Telegraph that Raytheon had been developing the Joint Effects Tactical Targeting System (JETTS) for the MoD, which aims to improve "lethality". During a meeting, Raytheon bosses confirmed to the council that the revelations in the documents, obtained from Invest NI under the Freedom of Information Act, were true. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northwest_editio...14803 ... read full story / add a comment
