He's so fucking corrupt, he'll have to flee the country. I think his family all bailed to the US in the last few months. Pockets and bags stuffed, probably.

Orban is gone. Wow. Fucking nice one! Terrible news for Putin, and the Yanks too, seemingly.

I'm so tired

Are there any accounts anywhere reporting open petrol stations? My nearest 2 were closed as of yesterday, and I'm almost empty, so don't fancy driving around looking.

Talk about life changes. Caolan Robertson was alt right. He came to Ireland with a load of them, about a decade ago, to stir shit, etc. Well, he saw the light, dumped the fash and is now doing very good anti Putin stuff from Ukraine.

Muslim Sisters of Eire, at the GPO last night.

Here's the windmap til Monday-ish. Lots of wind. Some from the north too, so not the warmest of breezes. Each jump is +8 hours.

A US stratotanker, redirecting to Shannon, about an hour ago. This would be used in Iran etc, easily.

Here's the wind for the next 4 days. Each jump is +8 hours.

Wow.

Artemis is 6 mins away from launch. www.youtube.com/live/Tf_UjBM...

Martin didn't do badly in the WH with Trump. He could have sat there and smiled for the whole thing.

Aluminum, manufactured in Ireland, by a company owned by a Russian oligarch, on its way from Ireland, to Russia, to be turned into weapons that will be used to attack Ukraine. Anyhoo.

The new numbers station is live. Farsi, robotic. It will take time to identify the most likely transmission points, and only then can we really speculate as to who's behind it, etc. 16 mins in though, and it's still going. It could be for one person, or many. This is an awful signal too.

youtube.com/watch?v=iZEp... someone has launched a new numbers station, immediately after the Iran thing. It's in Farsi and it could be for Iranians, elsewhere, or it's US/Mossad, targeting their people in Iran. Proper, old school spy stuff though.

Iran have all their radio jammers up. Any station in the region linked to the US/UAE, etc, has some form of jamming. This is (was) Radio Farda (Radio Tomorrow). It's a Persian language, US/Radio Free Europe (still the US), funded, news station, that transmits from Prague.

Operation Epstein Fury is the most sophisticated military operation in the history of the United States. by Pete Hegseth

Trump in 2011: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.”

Jaysus. The croker match, back on the day, was 43-13 and that was a complete trouncing. 14-42 at the mo, and 10 mins to go. Oof. #EngvIrl

Get in!! #therugby

youtube.com/watch?v=PtPq... For the Av Geeks. Ireland 290, the new Air Corps Dassault 6x, taking off from Farnborough, on its way back to Baldonnell. No messing about either. Straight up.

😡😡😡😡

Maybe they could start by not posting on a racist website. If you look at their account stats on X: their posts normally get around 20K view. Their post about Edwin Edogbo got _7 milllion_ views. Organizations still there are opening their employees to racist abuse for publicity.

Jesus. All Star Trek stuff gone from Netflix from the 8th of Jan. Is there anything else on Netflix? I'd probably pay the same monthly for a Star Trek only service, just to know it was there. It's like comfort telly.

RIP Chris Rea. 'Driving Home For Christmas has never been a top ten hit in Ireland, peaking at no. 11 here in 2021, but that may change - in the meantime, his highest-charting single in Ireland was this, reaching no. 5 in 1987: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF2R...

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Peter Arnett, who traveled the world covering wars from Vietnam to Iraq, has died.

The Russians are up. E07/English Man spy station is live, from somewhere near Moscow. The Ruskies are all over shortwave these days. Very modern.

I actually didn't realise that PBP refused to applaud Zelensky in the Dail. Listening to RBB suggest Ukraine should have accepted occupation for the sake of less war in the news, is disturbing.

Radio wars. Ukraine, blocking Russian military voice transmissions. youtu.be/T3OYuHtQbsY?...

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Meanwhile, in Ternopil, which Russia struck with missiles today, the number of dead has risen to 26, and 93 people have been injured, including 18 children.

Wealthy foreign gun enthusiasts paid Bosnian Serb forces for the chance to shoot residents of Sarajevo during the siege of the city during the 1990s, according to claims being investigated by Italian magistrates ⬇️

“One of the Italian snipers identified to SISMI in 1993 was from Milan, and the owner of a private clinic specialising in cosmetic surgery,” he said. “We are talking about wealthy people, entrepreneurs with a reputation, who during the siege of Sarajevo paid to be able to kill helpless civilians.”
