Jump To Comment: 1 2 3These '6' investigations, supposedly carried out by the Gardai - surely accepting an assurance from a foreign national, would not be considered competent investigative work? (Rhetorical question.)
If the Gardai were to use this methodology in the investigation of a murder, for example - we'd be living in a justice-free and crime-ridden country. Ah... Am... Well...
I remember a certain Mr. Houlihan when being cross-examined in the last Ploughshare's trial - who is a member of the Gardai, and who is assigned to Shannon - admitting under oath that he had the powers to investigate violations of the Geneva Conventions in Ireland, and that it was his duty to do so. How many such allegations has he investigated competently?
How many complaints lodged by people like: Conor Cregan, Tim Hourigan and Ed Horgan, has he taken seriously? (One should also take into account here, the number of prosecutions taken against activists, in relation to Shannon Warport - they are many, they are legion.)
Cover-up is the only work done by the Gardai in Shannon, just like Cover-up is the only work done by our Government in relation to their facilitation and participation in WAR CRIMES.
I cannot wait until some Citizens in particular, charged with ensuring the rule of national and international law, face their crimes in a suitable arena. The only question in my mind is whether this arena should be an Irish Court or the Hague.
You can call it omnipotence or whatever or rant on about Vietnam and whatnot.Unfortuneatly it it is a reality in political life.And wether the Gardai agree or not,they will do what they are ORDERD to do.If that means ignoring aircraft in Shannon,or taking them apart, or beating the crap out of Irish citizens in Rossport or anywhere else for that matter.Or making MichealYs life Hell on Earth 24/7 untill he/she tops herself.They will do so. Dont think things like this happens,not being watching the news lately about the chap who spoke out about Putins Russia?Ask David Shalor,who worked for M15 how miserable life can become for anyone who steps out of line too much.
Everyone has a price Micheal ,including you.Garda oaf isnt going to make noise if he wants to keep his job and reputation functioning.if he does make noise,a carrott in npromotion or xtra pay will soon sort out any lofty ideals.
YOU and I and all the rest of us DO NOT MATTER ONE BIT to the Irish State.We are sheep to be shorn and slaughterd.Do you honestly think your miserable life is worth one red cent to the people who have millions invested in this country or to the Irish govt who has the most powerful nation in the world investing in this little rock??Who are we ???The people who are supposed to have all this power over all these people we elect into govt???ROTFLAMO if you still belive that nonsense. If you think demoracy and all the rest is supposed to work,you have alot of growing up to do.
That's how the ex-US Ambassador to Ireland's article refuting th onslaught throughout Europe by concerned citizens in the pages of the Irish Times on the 12th of December 2005. His article was published right next to one by Tim under a feature on "Shannon's war business". I remember the day clearly, I met a friend & their mother off the plane from Dublin to Barcelona - they gave me the Times & a bottle of whiskey. (real whiskey with an "e" in the end).
The "far left fantasy land" seem to have been right all along. ¿no?
