Has this reached the papers or airwaves yet Zap? I read in about 8 pages and skipped to the end, noticed on page 15 some lad has made a jpg image graph to show the various links.

Alot of different issues arising here. This thread could nearly be divided into 4 or 5 different issues. It looks very bad for the Government and bad for Ireland too to be honest.

I don't think so. There are a few comments on how the papers would be afraid to touch it.

Seems the posters on here not too interested in it either

Thar may be down to the fact that it was me that posted it?

I'd call this an issue of National importance. This could be treason at the highest levels of Irish society being exposed post by post. It's a great insight onto investigative journalism too.

could also be down to the title name, I thought it was something to do with maths

Nobody's going to plough through eighteen pages of blather unless you can tell them why it's worth their while. Vague stuff about issues of great national importance don't cut it. We've heard that before. Give us 200 words on what it's about, so the nation may be informed.

Some of those posters seem to be journos, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was an odd politician as well as concerned citizens at work there.

3 or 4 of the issues there may be run by a newspaper, but the elephant in the room will be kept at arms length.

After the opening post some poster started to expand on the topic. The gist of it is that there may be links between Irish Aid, Tullow Oil, FF, Traidlink, Irish Foreign aid, Tax Payers money, Corrupt Ugandan Government, Military spending and so on.

When they gathered a few pieces of the puzzle they placed them together and came up with this

They are also following the money which is detailed throughout the thread.

There are still pieces missing that they are trying to put together.

Thanks for getting back to me Zapatista.

What gets me in stories like this are the missing pieces. I'm always inclined to wonder how many pieces are missing and the reason they're missing is because they don't exist in the first place and the story doesn't add up.

I'm generally distrustful of conspiracy theories. People are too eager to jump to conclusions. But I guess we'll wait and see.
