The New York Times Bestseller list is "pure propaganda", says Elon Musk. The newspaper even admitted in court it is "editorial content", not factual. But what about the Sunday Times version? Steven Tucker investigates.

Urgent Update - Navy arrive to protect Shell - Beach on lockdown illegaly

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Friday August 29, 2008 15:27author by Starstruck - S2S Report this post to the editors

Urgent callout for support

In the past two hours a mass of State and Shell security has assembled in Broadhaven bay including a heavily armed navy vessel.
This is to protect the first attempt at laying the offshore section of pipe.

The Gardai sealed a section of beach beside the camp illegally for an hour before retreating and now rearriving.
The bay is awash with security vessels,gardai water units and also a large Navy vessel ,possibly "The Orla" which is armed with a canon and smaller guns.
This is the largest recent attempt at crushing any resistance to the Shell project.
There is also a heavy Grada presence on land with protesters being intimidated,filmed and harassed.
Solidarity needed!
