And that it's annual stock-holders meeting which allows the owners of the 55,913,669 shares to discuss policy, profit and direction will be held on Monday July 12th 2004. read full story / add a comment

CAD one is gone. He's in Turkey. They got bombed to say greet him. He's gone and laid a wreath to Ataturk. Their workers are going to get the chop. You in Ireland have accomplished one of the Geopolitically most succesful protests in the most creative and wideband way with wonderful results. Ceasar is still however a Wookie, Militarist Fetishist, and ordinary people and well paid Levant type Oil workers are still getting blown up for it. read full story / add a comment

As you might know, the last days saw history being made in those small little ways. the 60th anniversary of D Day in Normandie saw leaders of the World assemble and salute the veterans and honour the dead of operation Overlord and remember the causes for which they fought and died. As you know the Pontiff John Paul 2 met with President Bush and was very critical of the relations between the West (both winners and losers of WW2) and the rest of the world. As you know the Cathedral of Barcelona was occupied by 1600 non regularised workers mostly of the Islamic Faith. read full story / add a comment

D Day normandy you know about. Day before General Strike thingy and a big cheery very sincere fuck off Bush message. Everyone else "on the stand" will be "used to this". & Everyone else will somehow come across as being more "sensitive", "aware", "dignified" and "sussed" as to the "importance" of "Delta Day". Even the Irish whose forebears didn't see what all the fuss was about will try and cluck cluck just like Minister Mc Dowell does now. Nothing much has changed. Everything has changed. The last time Bush spent the night out of the USA he spent it in the impregnable castle of Hillsborough in the Queen of England's own private Northern Ireland. "our wee north". I'm not telling you where he's gonna stay in France. read full story / add a comment
