GOSHEN – On a night when nothing went right, the North Oldham Mustangs fell to Jeffersontown 26-7 and may have lost two of their top offensive weapons.
Coming off a surprisingly easy 56-18 romp of Moore in their opener in which they gained over 600 total yards of offense, the Mustangs struggled Friday against a strong J-town club gaining just 139 total yards and only 63 yards on the ground.
In late July, the North Oldham and Westport fire departments responded to a call on the Kentucky side of 18-Mile island on the Ohio River for an injured woman who had been using a rope swing at the water's edge.

She was lucky.

Easter - Christian or Pagan?
2010-04-02 0:00
Contrary to popular belief, Easter does not represent the "historical" crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In reality, the gospel tale reflects the annual "crossification" of the sun through the vernal equinox (Spring), at which time the sun is "resurrected," as the day begins to become longer than the night.
Rather than being a "Christian" holiday, Easter celebrations date back into remotest antiquity and are found around the world, as the blossoming of spring did not escape the notice of the ancients, who revered this life-renewing time of the year, when winter had passed and the sun was "born again." The "Pagan" Easter is also the Passover, and Jesus Christ represents not only the sun but also the Passover Lamb ritually sacrificed every year by a number of cultures, including the Egyptians, possibly as early as 4,000 years ago and continuing to this day in some places.
Easter is "Pessach" in Hebrew, "Pascha" in Greek, "Pachons" in Latin and "Pa-Khonsu" in Egyptian, "Khonsu" being an epithet for the sun god Horus. In Anglo-Saxon, Easter or Eostre is goddess of the dawn, corresponding to Ishtar, Astarte, Astoreth and Isis. The word "Easter" shares the same root with "east" and "eastern," the direction of the rising sun.
The principal Mexican solar festival was held at the vernal equinox, i.e., Easter, when sacrifices were made to sustain the sun. In India, the vernal equinox festival is called "Holi" and is especially sacred to the god Krishna. The Syrian sun and fertility god Attis was annually hung on a tree, dying and rising on March 24th and 25th, an "Easter celebration" that occurred at Rome as well. The March dates were later applied to the Passion and Resurrection of Christ: "Thus," says Sir Frazer, "the tradition which placed the death of Christ on the twenty-fifth of March was ancient and deeply rooted. It is all the more remarkable because astronomical considerations prove that it can have had no historical foundation ." This "coincidence" between the deaths and resurrections of Christ and the older Attis was not lost on early Christians, whom it distressed and caused to use the "devil got there first" excuse for the motif´s presence in pre-Christian paganism.
The rites of the "crucified Adonis," another dying and rising savior god, were also celebrated in Syria at Easter time. As Frazer states:
"When we reflect how often the Church has skillfully contrived to plant the seeds of the new faith on the old stock of paganism, we may surmise that the Easter celebration of the dead and risen Christ was grafted upon a similar celebration of the dead and risen Adonis, which, as we have seen reason to believe, was celebrated in Syria at the same season."
The salvific death and resurrection at Easter of the god, the initiation as remover of sin, and the notion of becoming "born again," are all ages-old Pagan motifs or mysteries rehashed in the later Christianity. The all-important death-and-resurrection motif is exemplified in the "Parisian magical papyrus," a Pagan text ostensibly unaffected by Christianity:
"Lord, being born again I perish in that I am being exalted, and having been exalted I die; from a life-giving birth being born into death I was thus freed and go the way which Thou has founded, as Thou hast ordained and hast made the mystery."
In the gospel tale, there are two dates for the crucifixion: the 14th and the 15th of the month of Nisan, and within Christianity the date for Easter was debated for centuries. There continue to be two dates for Easter: the Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox, thus demonstrating that this holiday is not the historical date of the actual crucifixion of a particular man. The dates are, in fact, astronomical, astrological and astrotheological.
In explaining this roving date, one "distinguished churchman," as Catholic Church historian Eusebius called him, Anatolius, revealed the meaning of Easter and of Christ, as well as the fact that astrology was a known and respected science used in Christianity. Said Anatolius:
"On this day [March 22] the sun is found not only to have reached the first sign of the Zodiac, but to be already passing through the fourth day within it. This sign is generally known as the first of the twelve, the equinoctial sign, the beginning of months, head of the cycle, and start of the planetary course.... Aristobolus adds that it is necessary at the Passover Festival that not only the sun but the moon as well should be passing through an equinoctial sign. There are two of these signs, one in spring, one in autumn, diametrically opposed to each other...."
In establishing the "Paschal festival," Church father Anatolius thus based his calculations on the positions of the sun and moon during the vernal equinox.
The need to time the Easter celebration - or resurrection - to coincide with the vernal equinox demonstrates that "Christ" is not an historical personage but the sun. This fact of Easter being the resurrection of the Sun has been well known for centuries, just as "the Savior´s" birth at the winter solstice has been recognized as another solar motif. Another obvious clue as to Christ´s nature is the fact that the "Lord´s Day" is Sunday.
Concerning Easter, in his "Letter I. for 329" Bishop of Alexandria Athanasius (c. 293-373) remarks, "Again, ´the Sun of Righteousness,´ causing His divine beams to rise upon us, proclaims beforehand the time of the feast, in which, obeying Him, we ought to celebrate it " Christ is thus the Sun of Righteousness, with "divine beams."
The Easter calculations were recomputed in the seventh century by the Christian author(s) of the Paschal Chronicle or Alexandria Chronicle, which seeks to establish a Christian chronology from "creation" to the year 628. The Paschal Chronicle determines the proper date for Easter as March 21st and the date of Christ´s resurrection as March 25th (or, midnight, March 24, three days after the beginning of the equinox). In his various calculations, the Chronicle author discusses solar and lunar cycles, including the 19-year lunar cycle, by which he reckons the crucifixion and resurrection, concluding: "This is consistent with the prior determinations of reputable men in the calculation of the heavenly bodies." To wit, Christ´s death and resurrection are based on astrotheology.
The Chronicle author further confirms that Christianity is a continuation of the ancient "Pagan" astrotheological religion when he states that the "Annunciation of our Lady," i.e., the conception of Christ by the Virgin Mary, likewise occurred on March 25th, the vernal equinox, exactly nine months prior to the December 25th birthdate, the annual rebirth of the sun.

Liturgy For The People
The liturgy is essentially not the religion of the cultured, but the religion of the people. If the people are rightly instructed, and the liturgy is properly carried out, they display a simple and profound understanding of it. For the people do not analyze concepts, but contemplate. The people possess that inner integrity of being which corresponds perfectly with the symbolism of the liturgical language, imagery, action and ornaments. The cultured man has first of all to accustom himself to this attitude; but to the people it has always been inconceivable that religion should express itself by abstract ideas and logical developments, and not by being and action, by imagery and ritual. --Romano Guardini, "The Awakening of the Church in the Soul"Top Posts

The Anguished Question
If you really enquire about God, not with mere curiosity, not, as it were, like a spiritual stamp collector, but as an anxious seeker, distressed in heart, anguished by the possibility that God might not exist and hence all life be vanity and one great madness -- if you ask in such a mood as the man who asks the doctor, "Tell me, will my wife live or will she die?"-- if you ask thus about God, then you know already that God exists; the anguished question bears witness that you know. -- Emil Brunner, "Our Faith"Recommended Books

Son Volt: 'The jury is guilty'
From an interpretive standpoint, it's risky to isolate lines from a poem or a song, but two lines from "Down to the Wire," on Son Volt's album "American Central Dust," are worth repeating and thinking about, even if my thoughts slip out of the song's context.
No jury will have a final say
Everyone knows the jury is guilty
It's not enough to believe in the doctrine of The Fall, the primordial sin of human ancestors by which decay and destructive motives entered into the world.
Eventually, each person must become fallen in his or her own eyes. Each person has to realize what he or she has done to contribute to the ongoing mess of this world.
I've known a few people who have yet to cross that bridge, while considering themselves righteous because of their doctrinal stands. If they were on the jury, they would pride themselves in their formulas and principles, never realizing that they are part of the problem, too.
Jesus once defended an adulterer from death by saying, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." In two simple lines, Son Volt has placed the concept of self-incrimination into the context of our contemporary jury system. A jury of my peers consists of people like me.
My waiter named Muhammad
Kristi and I went to dinner at Carrabba's in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Our waiter introduced himself as Muhammad, and he spoke with a thick, Middle Eastern accent.
He was an excellent server, but I wondered if any of the other customers had given him a hard time due to his name. I also wondered if he secretly disapproved when I ordered wine. These questions, and so many others, seemed inappropriate, even embarrassing, to consider asking. If someone is obligated to wait on me, I don't feel right taking advantage of his position to ask him personal questions.
But personal, even spiritual, conversations do happen in restaurants.
Earlier today, while Kristi was still finishing her work at church, I took the girls to McDonald's. We were still in our church clothes. We were seated by the door, and a couple walked by. The woman retrieved a chicken nugget that Sadie, age 4, had dropped on the floor, and she threw it away for us.
The man said, "You have a nice looking family."
I thanked him.
The woman asked, "Did you all go to church?"
I said we did.
"We're on vacation, so we didn't get to go," the woman said. "But we watched Charles Stanley on TV."
I told her that sounded good to me.
"Well, bless you guys," the man said, and they left.
A faith-based slip for the mainstream media
Tobin Harshaw describes how activists recently have done a better job of investigative journalism than the mainstream media. Watch the assumptions made by some of the people he quotes, and ask yourself: does it matter that a well-documented fact comes from someone who has an explicit agenda? Can evidence, even with full-disclosure of its source, be considered in its own terms or on its own grounds?
Scot McKnight on liturgy and low-church evangelicals
From Scot McKnight's Jesus Creed blog at Beliefnet:
Early in September I sat down with Bryan Chapell's new book, Christ-Centered Worship: Letting the Gospel Shape Our Practice, and studied his chart on the order of services in the Church, what he called the "Liturgy of the Word" which is to be distinguished from a eucharist service (Liturgy of the Upper Room). He compared the ancient Roman order with Luther's, with Calvin's, and with Westminster's (c. 1645). The witness to a common order was clear, and what each included – Catholic and Protestant – was a liturgy that involved the Psalms, an OT reading, a New Testament reading or two, a sermon, and some kind of ordered ending, involving either the Nicene Creed or a Psalm.
McKnight goes on to wonder how the "low church" approach came to dominate evangelicalism. Read the rest here.
Infant baptism and Scripture-reading
The ministry leaders at Trinity (myself included) have made the good and reasonable observation that infant baptism is not a matter of magic. The word "magic" here refers to a belief found in some branches of Christianity; that belief suggests that water, sprinkled over the head during infancy, is all that's necessary for entry into the Kingdom of God. It's certainly problematic. After all, in the Old Testament, circumcision (often a point of reference for baptism) was not a guarantee that an infant boy eventually would participate in the heart and intentions of God's covenant.
However, when I consider American Christians generally, it seems that those who do not consider infant baptism to be magic do seem to consider Bible-reading to be magic. Just keep reading the Scriptures, they say. Know the Word. Of course it's good advice if you believe yourself to be redeemed by the sacrificial death of Christ.
And yet, I've known and observed dozens of people, from near and far, during my (almost) four decades who have invested time in reading Scripture each day.
For many of them, I don't think it took.
Some have accepted bizarre mutations of Christian practice; others have used the Bible to rationalize a severely moralistic way of viewing others. It has not been clear to me that the joy of their salvation and their reverence for Christ was greater than their excitement about bizarre practices or their pride in an exacting moral standard.
Plenty of times, this has been enough for me to doubt my own joy and reverence. Maybe I'm too easily swayed, but the mind tends to seek evidence, or at least clues, that a practice that is claimed to be beneficial is actually beneficial.
A few months ago, I read a blog post by a man who was one of my pastors during my teenage years. Evidently, he has yet to discover grace, or at least any applicable view of it. In his blog post, he presented dozens of Bible verses in a way that was sure to make you feel like your source for righteousness was in your own behavior and in your own exertion of will power to become righteous. That's from a man who has spent decades in Christian ministry with his Bible opened. That's only one example on my mind. A lot of Bible-reading does not seem to prevent people from making conceptual, theological, and doctrinal errors. Moral errors are much clearer, but it's not enough to know that we're all sinners. The debate comes in how sin is answered. The diversity of views comes from a single point of reference, the Bible.
So, what does "Scripture alone" mean to you?
From the standpoint of my personal experiences, maybe some folks would accuse me of believing in magic.
I enjoy receiving Holy Communion and reading Scripture. These experiences seem nurturing and sustaining in the core of my being. While the reading and receiving do not feel eerie or otherworldly, I can only describe those experiences as mystical, because a reductively rationalistic look at either the Bible or the bread and wine (or many other arenas of human experience) would not provide much to go on. G.K. Chesterton once wrote, "The mad man is not the man who has lost his reason. The mad man is the man who has lost everything except his reason." Like I tell my literature students, "Let's say you fall in love. A scientist comes up to you and describes all the chemical processes going on in your brain as you feel this new infatuation. Now, is that meaningful to you?" They all shake their heads: no, it is not meaningful to hear about chemical processes in the brain while you are falling in love. While those chemical processes are real, and while they could very well hold the reasons behind attraction, they don't hold the meaning of self-sacrificial love. (Often, we read literature to help us understand our experiences in existential terms, so we can have understanding hearts. When we're faced with a lump of emotions, we need information from our ancestors to help us navigate and sort-out the feelings. That information comes to us in the form of literature and tradition. As the old saying goes, "We read to know we're not alone.")
I second-guess my good experiences with old texts and bread and wine. I have seen misplaced confidence in experience. After all, my experiences are something like magic. Then again, an individual's personal experience with something should not be dismissed solely on the basis of its desirability or undesirability, or dismissed solely due to the desirability or undesirability of its probable source. No one can number all the various internal and external factors that leave someone feeling as if he or she has experienced something significant.
Only recently have I begun to read Scripture again in a close and more or less consistent way. Having grown up in churches and Christian schools, I felt like I had plenty of Bible verses stored in my head. So many times, a single verse was trotted out to exercise an all-consuming moralistic or conceptual control over the lives and minds of congregations. When bad interpretations become permanent mental furniture, the result is brainwashing. What I needed to do was to contextualize all those verses. For several years, I quit reading the Bible (in any consistent sense) while I read Christian authors, or I should say, good Christian authors, which usually meant dead Christian authors. In many cases, I had to unlearn old interpretations and learn new interpretations that are more in line with basic, historical doctrines.
The authority of Scripture does not have much value if it is approached on a merely individual level. Its authority has to dwell in a community, not in the individual zone of personal interpretation. Otherwise, the word "biblical" has become completely meaningless. Well, in the strictly practical sense, it is only a meaningful word in those communities, formal or informal, in which a common point of view is shared so that interpretation can be consistent — and even then, it might be meaningful but not necessarily accurate. Numerous independent church communities have an internal coherency to their interpretive approach even as the leadership stands outside that which the Church has believed, taught, and confessed on the basis of Scriptures throughout history. As someone has said before, we usually look at the world through some kind of lenses. Sometimes we take a minute to examine the lenses, to make sure its warp isn't misleading us. Even then, our analysis of the lenses will be subjective. Somewhere within that metaphor lies the relationship between Scripture, reason, and tradition.
A final thought on the problem with Bible-reading-as-magic: A community has to have some baseline respect for the traditional interpretations of Scripture as well as traditional understandings of Christian life. Words like "Trinity" and "sacrament," along with a generally orthodox view of them, are not explicit in the Bible, but what would the Christian faith be without them?

A parable of a Biblical Literalist & an Ordinary Man
Unfortunately, I have been in conversations and have overheard conversations much like the fictitious one rendered below. Of course, in writing this parable, I'm chosing a certain type of example to make a subtle, common problem more obvious.
Two men are walking along a path in a city park during the late morning hours. It is a sunny, cool autumn day, and the moon is still visible in the blue sky.
Ordinary man: Wow. I think the moon becomes more beautiful when the seasons change.
Biblical literalist: The moon is beautiful. The Bible says God made "the lesser light to govern the night." I enjoy taking nighttime walks, too!
Ordinary man: Yes, me too. And look at it right now. Isn't that great?
Biblical literalist: You can't see the moon right now.
Ordinary man: Yes, you can. Look!
Biblical literalist: No, you can't see the moon right now. The Scriptures say God made "the lesser light to govern the night." Now, is it nighttime right now?
Ordinary man: Well, no, but —
Biblical literalist: The Scriptures also say God made "the greater light to govern the day." Is it daytime right now, buddy?
Ordinary man: Of course, but —
Biblical literalist: Is the greater light shining this fine morning?
Ordinary man: Obviously, but I —
Biblical literalist: Well, then, the moon can't be visible now.
Ordinary man: Oh my. Have a good morning. I gotta go.
Biblical literalist: Some people just don't trust the plain teaching of the Scriptures.
Everything about our witness to the watching world is compromised if we treat the Scriptures as a darkened room into which we must walk.
What makes divine guidance legit? Potential consequences of the hijacking in Mexico
Apparently, there is at least ONE activity that will cause believers to question a claim of divine guidance:
MEXICO CITY — A Bolivian preacher who hijacked a Mexican plane saying he was on a divine mission used three juice cans to convince crew members he had a bomb, he later told reporters.
Jose Marc Flores Pereira, 44, a Bible-carrying evangelical preacher, singer and former drug addict, surrendered to authorities here Wednesday after hijacking the Aeromexico Boeing 737 on a flight from the tourist resort of Cancun to Mexico City.
All 104 people on board — most of whom had no idea they had been taken hostage — were safely evacuated as security forces swarmed Mexico's international airport within minutes of the plane landing.
The airline said it was originally alerted to the situation after it "received a bomb threat while in flight," according to a statement.
"It wasn't a bomb," a smiling Flores Pereira told reporters after his arrest. "It was three Jumex (juice) cans that I filled with sand and put some little colored lights on." …
While Flores Pereira acted alone, Mexican officials said they originally detained five other people because the hijacker had told a flight attendant he was acting with accomplices, referring to himself and "God and the Holy Spirit."
Flores Pereira told authorities he acted to protect the country after having "a revelation that Mexico was facing a great danger, and was threatened by an earthquake," public security official Genaro Garcia Luna told reporters.
The priest, brought out for questioning by the media, told reporters his actions were linked to Wednesday's date — September 9, 2009 — because the numbers 9/9/9 were the opposite of 6/6/6 the numbers associated with the AntiChrist.
In Bolivia, his mother Maria Pereira de Flores told local media he wanted to hijack a plane to speak to the Mexican president to urge him to preach the gospel from Mexico City's central square.
"If God sent him to do that, I bless him in the name of the Lord," she was quoted as saying.
Pilot Carlos Corzo said when the plane had landed "the first thing he did was show me some Bible verses; I tried really hard to gain his confidence.
"I told him that I am a believer, and that it is good to share the message, but that this was not the way to do it," Corzo told the daily Reforma online.
Now the Mexican government has to prosecute this priest. Consider how sticky this type of situation could become.
If we consider this hijacking as an episode of mental illness, then we just open the door for governments to enforce certain criteria for legitimate beliefs. After all, by today's unaccountable and groundless standards, his reasoning was "biblical," and he acted on that reasoning.
Of course, the priest is an example of mental illness in action, but with the exception of the actual threat of violence, the rest of what he said is too familiar. Look around the Internet at various "prophetic" sites and ministries. Some people have been vigorously speculating about apocalyptic disasters — for decades now.
Furthermore, Todd Bentley, during last year's Lakeland, Florida, "outpouring," said God told him kick and tackle and punch various people during meetings.
I think the difference between God telling you to hijack a commerical jet and God telling you to kick someone is only a matter of degree.
Notice how the issues stretch beyond this particular incident: will governments decide certain beliefs inevitably will result in undesirable behavior? So if a government knows that someone has an apocalyptic view of the history, will that person be considered a threat to security and stability?
Look at it this way: Is martyrdom sane? If someone wants to share the Gospel in a fundamentalist Muslim culture (where he likely would be killed), will his government consider him mentally ill and prevent him from going — for his own good?
Well, in the meantime, at least most believers seem to think that God would not guide anyone to hijack an aircraft.

Positives for McLaren
Claiming a P6 and a P10 are usually not something to write home about for McLaren, but the team are happy to leave Monaco with nine points.
After three consecutive races without picking up any points, they looked set for another tough race in Monte Carlo with Kevin Magnussen qualifying P8 and Jenson Button down in P12.
However, the pair impressed with Magnussen, Button and Kimi Raikkonen battling Nico Hulkenberg for P5 during the latter stages of the race. However, the Dane was clipped by Raikkonen and he eventually had to settle for P10.
Button, though, kept the pressure on Hulkenberg, but he ended up finishing behind the Force India driver.

fooli peer into the glassfool by KiddosPoet
and see a face that is not mine.
her eyes are filled with darkness
and her soul an acid brine.
she opens up her mouth
to say what i don't want to hear.
i try but i can't stop her
so i cover up my ears.
"fool," she screams, her voice shakes
my foundation to the core.
i shrink back from her reprimand,
can't fight her anymore.
i watch her as she mimics me
and taunts me with her tears.
although her movements mirror mine,
she does not seem sincere.
she's happy to remind me
of the flaws that she can see.
my imperfections overshadow
all the good in me.
chastises me and watches
as my body starts to weep.
she tells me i'm unworthy
of the love i couldn't keep.
for a moment, i release myself
from her icy glare.
i slide down to the floor
exhausted, lost in my despair.
i stay down until i feel safe
and crawl back to my bed.
avoid the fool that's in the glass
and living in my head.
Set Me FreeSo many years have come and gone,Set Me Free by KiddosPoet
I had nothing, felt alone.
Had no outlet for my pain.
Was crippled from these heavy chains.
Then one day I was made to see
I had this gift to set me free.
As ink spilled onto sheets of white,
out of darkness came the light
And each time life kicked me around,
with pen and paper, I did abound.
Helped me deal with lessons learned,
and calmed the fire when I got burned.
You think that as you read these lines,
you see a soul that is confined.
You judge me for the things I write,
not knowing who I am inside.
You make assumptions, don't care to
find out about me, learn the truth.
You just see what you want to see.
Why can't you stop and let me be?
Not asking for you to approve
the thoughts from my head, I remove
Place on the white sheets of my soul.
Piece them together, and make me whole.
So next time you decide to be
my critic, look beyond and see
the person that resides in me,
the person that I'll always be.

NO INNOCENT IRISH PEOPLE WERE FRAMED FOR THE MURDER OF AIREY NEAVE, THE MOST SENIOR BRITISH POLITICIAN EVER TO BE ASSASSINATED. The case remains unsolved. Unsolved, in 1970s parlance, means no innocent people were framed for it. But why? Why this departure from standard procedure in 1970s England? What was so special about Airey Neave - that they made an exception in his case? read full story / add a comment

Last night's Super Bowl has had the unintended consequence of bringing the 9/11 terror attacks back into the forefront of the public mind. The controversy began several months ago, when Seattle Sea Hawks coach Pete Carroll began voicing doubts about the nonsensical, official 9/11 conspiracy theory pushed by the US government and mainstream media. Carroll put many of the official conspiracies incongruities and alternate theory's to a retired, four star General Peter Chiarelli, a former US army Chief of Staff. read full story / add a comment

A recent Channel 4 documentary showed that a drone shot down in Sudan after taking part in several government operations against civilians and rebels contained a carburettor apparently made in Tillotson's Tralee plant. The EU exports billions of euros' worth of weaponry and other military hardware every year. Below are details of these exports broken down by source and destination country, year, and type of goods. Click on individual values to filter results. Link : http://www.caat.org.uk/resources/export-licences-eu/lic....html Licensed goods: Arms export licence figures are provided for all EU countries. These cover items on the Military List (equipment that is definitely for military use) but do not include Dual-Use items (equipment that could be for military or civil use). Exported goods: Most countries have also provided figures for the value of exported goods. Germany and the UK are notable exceptions. Figures indicate known values and are inevitably incomplete due to the differences in reporting between countries. read full story / add a comment

International Parental Child Abduction is not a new trend as globalization bring people into a social setting normally not experienced in previous years . Relationships develop of course and love ,children and break ups are also to be expected. The removal of an Irish infant from Ireland is a crime under International law and the Non Fatal Offences Against the person Act under the Irish Statute book. There is also an international agreement called the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Parental Child Abduction which the Irish State signed in 1980. The issue surrounding this legal instrument outside of the EU is vague with countries such as the USA providing little or no support to victims of this cruel crime and Irish Department of Foreign Affairs complete reluctance to challenge the USA whom citizens are responsible for the abduction of Irish infants born in Ireland. read full story / add a comment

Why should the Irish in particular care about Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning and want to offer their ongoing support and solidarity as she begins a 35 year jail term in a US military prison? For one, Manning has Irish roots on both sides of the family. Maternal grandfather Billy Fox was from Rathmines, Dublin and two paternal great-grandparents - both Mannings - were also Irish, from county Cork. An Irish grandfather gives Chelsea the right to claim Irish citizenship and an Irish passport if she so wishes. For another, Manning passed through Shannon Airport as a US military intelligence analyst en route to Iraq. We have been reminded this week about the ongoing US military use of Shannon (troops, weaponry, rendition flights etc.) by the jailing of 79 year old Margaretta d'Arcy in connection with her protest against these abominations. What's more, we know something about the impact of resistance at Shannon on both US and Irish governments thanks to US diplomatic cables released by Manning and published by WikiLeaks. One classified cable reveals how negative public perception of Shannon as a warport in the wake of the Pitstop Ploughshares acquittals led to the Irish government placing more restrictions on its military use and how this was forcing the US to reconsider its position. Then US Ambassador to Dublin, James Kenny, wrote: "we would appreciate Washingtons judgment as to whether the process of notification of almost everything of a military nature (including by contract carriers) through Shannon is becoming too difficult to make the airport a preferred transit stop." http://humanrights.ie/civil-liberties/wikileaks-the-sig...ions/ read full story / add a comment
