Neutrality and The Lisbon Constitution

Nutrality in Ireland has been reduced in our constitution as nothing more than 'aspirational' by our courts.

It was interesting last night on RTE's Qand A to hear the waffle. Nutrality was mentioned by Michael Martin momentarily then the first interruption thanks to Boorman, was off topic asap.- Shay Given would be proud.

Kenny(FG); while electioneering was against the use of Shannon but has remained mute since.

Libritas's Ganley; is making millions from the Iraq war along with his partners and good friends of Harney-the Mcelvaddy Brothers- from re-fuelling the genocide in Shannon and trying to open up the 'Queen Of Peace' airport up in Knock to rendition.

Mary lou Mac(SF); mentioned Shannon but could not expand lest she be hailed a hypocryte -by those who dont support any party- for accepting the 'peace dividends' in the North which entails investment on a massive scale from the Arms Industry from the UK and the US. No wonder SF gave up the gun and the idiology, theyre in bed now with the biggest guns of them all. Theyve gone from freedom fighting idealists to white collared criminals with their new partners and former enemies.

Martin(FF); couldent expand lest he expose his and his partys hypocracy about the 'triple lock' protection of nutrality while Shannon has brought 1,200,000 innocent raqis to an early grave for Fianna Fail and now the New Green Party. His partys stance on Neutrality is based on Blairs and Bushes lies and 'assurances' from known terrorists they frequently cavort and grovel with.

The 'debate' at this point was obviously stiefled. Marred by the fact that no one could call on either of the others on any substantial point on anything because they are all subbordinated and silenced by their guilt

Someone made a joke about the EU prime minister flying arround flanked by two f-16s, one from the US and the other from Liberitas......

No one mentioned 500,000 widows, 5,000,000 orphans, 1,200,000 dead, 75% of Iraqs children alive are 'wasting' from malnutrition, 7,500,000 displaced civilians, 15 new US airbases 'supporting' the oilfields.

If you can get to a polling booth on Thursday- vote.

If you have a concience vote No.
