Mainstream Naysayers Gather As Hopes Rise for Fourth Year of Record Coral on the Great Barrier Reef Thu Jul 31, 2025 09:00 | Chris Morrison
Despite three record years of coral growth, the mainstream media keeps pushing doom and gloom on the Great Barrier Reef ? a story that doesn't quite add up, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.

August 6 1945 was the date of the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima, August 9 1945 was the date of the Atomic bomb on Nagasaki.
Murray Air admitted in 2008 that Irish Government [Department of Transport] have granted them a licence to transport Depleeted Uranium munitions through Shannon airport. Depleted Uranium munitions have been responsibile for the causing thousands of children in Iraq and elsewhere to develop cancers, from which an unknown number of children have died.
Maybe the US government would argue that these children are potential terrorists, and therefore "legitimate" targets?
Up to 250,000 children have died as a result of the Iraq war.
The estimated total number of deaths at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were 140,000 and 80,000 respectively.
Murray Air flights continue to land regularly at Shannon, but despite the dangers their cargo may present to the people of Shannon and to millions of innocent people around the world, it always remains undisclosed. Nowadays they operate under the name and colours of National Airlines, and according to a recent press release by the company they are proud to play "an integral role in the transportation supply chain for those who are helping to supply the military both in Iraq and Afghanistan" (http://www.murrayair.com/news_events.html?id=24&action=...ingle).
Shannon airport - our airport - also plays an integral role in the US/NATO war machines, by servicing and refuelling these planes. Some of our hotels provide hospitality to the crews. But our role in these supply chains of death, destruction and suffering is not something we should be proud of. It is something we should demand an end to.
Daniel Ellsberg, author of the article “Hiroshima Day: America Has Been Asleep at the Wheel for 64 Years,” gives an interesting interview over on AntiWar radio about the destructive power of nuclear weapons and how there has been a continual campaign from the very beginning to play down the horror of these weapons and the threat that they pose to us all.

Anyone doubting that the US should have been hauled up for war crimes long before now should click on this link. But it's increasingly obvious that our own government have a case to answer since they have facilitated the US to commit even more war crimes in our own time.

I noticed many drivers honked in support, and one shouted out: FAIR DUES TO YE! FAIR PLAY! And I didn't notice any two-finger salutes this time. :-)
Perhaps this is thanks to the very neat new blue-and-red-on-white placards, which are very readable.
And maybe people have gotten wise to the destructive, wasteful uselessness of the so-called war on terror?
On a point of history the systematic firebombing by the US air forces General LeMay was much worse in the 6 months prior to the nuclear attacks, killing significantly more people. I don't doubt that both the firebombing & nuclear attacks were war crimes, as indeed were Japan's activities in Asia during the period, Nanking massacre, Vietnamese & Thai famines, etc, etc, etc.
Nuclear bombs did however usher in the age where we can exterminate ourselves completely & utterly with no survivors though. We're still in that situation.
