Quote from above linked Phoenix article:
"Precisely why the Anglo-American intelligence alliance wants Ireland as a partner is a mystery. It may be that they hope to secretly use the Eircom satellite communications station at Middleton, Co. Cork, to extend the capability of the British spy facility at Morwenstow, Cornwall, further west. New Zealand was included in the Pact for geographical reasons - extending coverage in the Southern Ocean - just as Ireland may be needed to give a wider "footprint" in the eastern Atlantic. Or it could be that the NSA believes US or multinational software or other high technology companies are doing things in Ireland behind the backs of the defense establishment in Washington. The military interests of Uncle Sam and the economic interests of fast buck high tech firms have clashed many times in recent year"
Is Ireland still neutral? Perhaps Sean Sherlock, the Labour T.D. for North East Cork might raise this question in the Dail?
Is Eircom part of the U.S. military/industrial complex?
Ireland is a proud member of this key organization of the Anglosphere: we are all Anglo-Saxons now.

Ireland: In 2003, five people were acquitted in Dublin after disarming a US military C40A logistics supply plane at Shannon Airport which they said was a pitstop for American troops. They beat on the plane with hammers, poured their own blood over it then prayed for the dead in Iraq. Their defence invoked the Irish Constitution, which guarantees the neutrality of Ireland.

blood rituals.
Meanwhile, the head of the Dominican Order in Australasia has confirmed that though the priest at the centre of this story a right to his own actions it is probable his continued position in the order is "up for debate". Making cups of soup for poor folk is cool. Proactively fighting war is very cool. Linking the use of human blood in rituals to Catholic lithurgy is not cool. It's very uncool. it is in fact listed as an example of Satanism.
