“More evidence for the GAA/Illuminati file. Kerry GAA Jersey at the 1:39 minute mark of the trailer for Run and Jump (2013) No idea if the film is any cop but according to IMDB is out in May in Ireland.”

[Gemma O’Doherty and a demonstration following her sacking outside INM on Talbot Street, Dublin last year]

“Today’s resignation of Ireland’s police chief, Martin Callinan, is a vindication of the reporting of Gemma O’Doherty, a journalist fired by the Irish Independent for her pursuit of the story that has led to his departure.

As I reported in September last year, O’Doherty was made compulsorily redundant by the paper after door-stepping Callinan, the Garda commissioner.

She was following up a tip that penalty points had been wiped from Callinan’s driving record. It came against the background of allegations by police whistleblowers that  hundreds of people had also had penalty points removed from their licences.”

Of this stunning image – the clearest ever taken of the solar system’s innermost planet – NASA sez:

This colorful view of Mercury was produced by using images from the color base map imaging campaign during MESSENGER’s primary mission. These colors are not what Mercury would look like to the human eye, but rather the colors enhance the chemical, mineralogical, and physical differences between the rocks that make up Mercury’s surface.
