After decades of pushing the climate alarmist narrative that arctic ice is melting fast, scientists have now claimed that the near 20-year stable Arctic sea ice is "unsurprising" and predicted by their models.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15Kofi Anan, UN Secretary General is in Dublin on Thursday. Anan recently declared the war "illegal". It has no legal basis.
The charges on Mary Kelly should be immediately dropped. An investigation based on the Nuremburg Pinciples should be initiated into all Irish institutons commplicit in this ongoing crime that has reduced Iraq to chaos, has claimed the lives of thousands of Iraqi children has militarised Shannon Airport.
The cynical psychobable of Nicola & other detractors is a poor cover for moral cowardice.
Solidarity with all nonviolent resisters to the war in fornt o civilain courts and military courtmartials, in prisons and brigs and further nonviolent reistance to the war is essential.
Attention seeking rubbish like that Dubsky idiot. I think anyone who goes charging into an airport swinging a fire axe deserves to be locked up and taught a lesson, plain and simple. Such stupidity and misdirected attention seeking frustration must not be encouraged.
What did these possibly hope to achieve by this. Why not direct your efforts at things that you can change. The US military is not one of them.
it made you stop and think didn't it?
who says it did not do the same to the military. Oh while we are at it, sh is one of the barvest people out there who risked her life to expose the lying deciet of this state which incidently is supposed to be NEUTRAL!!! so the bloody U.S. military had no right to be waging their gennocide from here in the first case......
The U.S. war plane disabled by Mary Kelly, and then later by the Pit Stop Ploughshares, was on it's way to the war zone before it was disabled. After the two nonviolent diarmament actions the US Navy war plane was returned immediately to its base in Texas.
This may have been the only piece of military equipment turn around in mid-journey to the war by the western peace movement.
Whether it was a significant action or not is up to your world view....rsignation ot the empire's bloodletting or acting on behalf of the children a future for them and us.
We're not neutral, and we shouldn't claim to be-our neutrality is a joke. I don't know why we want to be neutral, it's nothing to be proud of and is increasingyl redundant.The shannon thing is just business as far as I'm concerned, the most modern airport in the most western part of Europe is an obvious choice.
Hopefully the European Union will listen to what Kofi Annan said today and up our military and deployment capabilities, then we can intervene on behalf of ourselves and others and stop letting attention seekers like Mary whateverhernameis grab ill-deserved attention.
Your obssession with half baked psycho-bable to understand why someone would nonviolently resist this "illegal war" (Kofi) is reminiscent with a Stalinist approach to shipping dissidents off to the psyche clinics.
There a lots of good healthy reasons to resist this war and Shannon's role in this ongoing massacre.
Yes the present government has reduced Irish neutrality to a joke....as exposed in the high court ruling on Ed Horgan's challenge last year.
The granting of an Irish passport to Biggerly by the same government with a pretence to preserving Irish neutrality while militarisimg Shannn Airport for servicing the US war machine and it's invasion is an examples of Orwellian doublethink.
Jus because we don't love Big Brother with your passion does not mean we have are the unhealthy ones in this co-dependent relationship with the US Empire.
First of all in the above article the writer says that the U.S aircraft traveling through Shannon Airport are carrying such weapons as napalm,cruise missiles and depleted uranium this is complete bollocks, where is the proof ? Has anybody seen these so called flag-draped coffins, or the prisoners enroute to guantanamo bay or for that fact even a flight plan for an aircraft from shannon to guantanamo bay, the answer is no! For the record states that the aircraft Mary kelly unlawfully damaged was enroute to the gulf, this is also untrue the aircraft in fact was enroute to Italy where that squadron is based,he also states that the aircraft was returned to its base in Texas immediately, this is also untrue, the aircraft stayed in shannon until the plane was fixed and then when they were ready they returned to boeing's airfield to have the aircraft resprayed. Maybe fairview against the war and for the record should get there facts straight before they start printing lies on the net !! Also i hope that Mary Kelly is punished accordingly for crime that she committed and i believe she will be!!
Mary needs all the help we can give her. Money to bring witnesses, and people on the street in front of the court.
How the Shannon worker/Auschwitz worker copes with there role as small cog in the war machine is through the denial of "'m only loading the cattle trucks/refueling the war planes carrying the cannon fodder" rhetoric of the post above.
The US Navy war plane was en route to the war zone through its US base in Siciliy. Of course it had to be repaired (twice) before it was sent back to Texas.
The cultivarted ignorance of the "worker" above is a pattern of recent relevations of the Garda of denial of awareness that there are prisoners being shipped through Shannon to Guatanmeo...the math goes we don't know if there is because we don't bother checking. reminds one of Seargant Schuilz in Hogans Heroes "I knoooooooow noooooooooothing!"
Well buddy such lame excuses didn't work for German judges, cops and refuellers at the Nurmeburg trials and they don't cut the ice here.
We do know from discovery in the Horgan high court case that cruise missile components, patriot missiles are shipped through Shannon.Are the body bags of the young boys and girls you sold duty free and slapped on the back coming through on their way back. Or don't you wanna know? You've got a cultivated ignorance and you've got it bad.
Ahem .... dat's cos de Americans were running dem trials .......
An' dey wudn't let de Nazis use a "tu quoque" defence .....

can you talk to the jury after the trial is finished to see what they really think?

(second comment by me)
That's horrible, by the way, the defence solicitor acting in that dodgy way. Mine went one worse...wrote me a letter saying that he'd sent the papers, when he knew full well he hadn't...sort of parodying the secruity service 'fire in the ltter box' thing....I sent the papers, and you are mentally ill type 'game'.
Fucking babylon filth!
JAH LIBERATION!
... I know from my own experience that these actions are diety supported....in fact they have a 'reality changing sacremental' effect on the wider society... at least this potential...and the countering influence from the 'beast' (*) will try and 'put the lid' on this reality change, and contain the people in...in what exactly...read the second comment down by me here...
