Almost two years after Shell smuggled their Tunnel Boring Machine out of Dublin port in the middle of the night, and then spent 3 days meeting resistance across the country before getting stuck in the bog, they removed it from Erris Monday night. In a report received from Mayo local resident Micheal O Seighin described how "This morning after 1 A.M. Shell removed the tunnel boring machine in convoy. Some hours before that they notified McGrath's in the pub what was about to happen and told them there was no need to remove the traffic cones protecting the house as the road was wide enough. |

Those who would throw in the towel in 2014 are no different to those who succumbed in 2001.
Sounds like more of the same from the for hire Irish police force, you'd think they would be drawing their horns given the spotlight on them at the moment. It's a long hard battle to create change in this country and the world in general and it's great that awareness is raised through websites like this. Corporations can't carry out their shady acts without the help of local compradors and hired muscle so the question is can these people be persuaded of a better way or will it always be an 'us against them' scenario. If you managed to create a society with social justice, healthy wealth distribution or even no money at all would these types of people still want to have more than everybody else and if so how would the rest of us deal with that?. Would it involve coercion of some kind or would it be a case of majority rules. It seems that the powers that be are just out of control at this stage whether it's austerity, engineering wars and 'uprisings' or just doing what they please to the earth without impunity, how do you fight a cabal of people who have so much technology and willing helpers to tow the line?.
