Shannon Remains The Scene Of Ongoing Crime!
An Information Stall / Anti War Vigil was held today at College Green, as part of the lead up to the ploughshares 5 Trial on Monday 24th October. Spirits were high (despite the looming trial) as many Dublin activists dropped by to offer their solidarity.

Solidarity vigils on Monday occuring at Irish Embassies in Washington DC & Budapest, Irish Consul in melbourne and in the streets of Galway.
Given the friendship that the CWA has with child murder advocates and promotors of certain serious sexual sins, what reward can you be thinking of? To associate with Marxists is to spit on the Eternal Memory of the 72 million new martyrs of the catacombs of the Third Rome. Christ came to lead His people into Heaven, it is the AntiChrist and his forerunners who seek to make this world as comfortable as possible- seeing that it is the they are of this world. http://www.zephyr.gr/stjohn/against1.htm#PEACE WITHOUT TRUTH
