Today the Belfast magistrate covering the request for an extradition order on high-profile ETA member and sometime hunger striker Iñaki De Juana Chaos concurred, after four months consideration, that the slogan read out in his name at a rally of supporters on his release from prison constituted an incitement to terrorist action & real continuity in the ongoing spiral of violence which mars all hope of the Basque people to enjoy increased autonomy, independence or their own seat at the United Nations ... read full story / add a comment

Because of what is perceived to be at stake (a peace process which is widely acknowledged to have brought, rather than bringing, to an end an internecine conflict of extraordinary savagery and duration) - it is not surprising that the killing of 2 British army soldiers in an attack which also 2 civilian pizza delivery employees threatened - has moved from breaking newswires to front page position across not only European and US media but globally. Already there are over 200 news reports in Spanish langauge media across the South American continent with some titles and news agencies also providing background sections on "The Troubles" and linking to the condemnatory statement this afternoon by Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams. ... read full story / add a comment

Here is the full text of Noel Dempsey's speech to the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis, in which he explains that - -Fianna Fáil had no idea that bankers, builders and developers were running wild with the possibilities of the unregulated economy. -If they had known about the corruption and endemic and dishonesty, they would have done something about it, but just because these people were funding their election campaigns, playing golf with them, loaning them their holiday homes etc, does not mean that they were aware of where the money was coming from. -It could be much worse. -It will get worse. ... read full story / add a comment

Peter Tatchell writes on the need for principled solidarity with Iran: Support the People of Iran against US Imperialism. But also against the Theocratic Regime. Full text at link. Principled, consistent left-wingers do not base their politics on the unprincipled, inconsistent geo-political manoeuvres of western powers. We stand with the oppressed against their oppressors, regardless of what the west (or anyone else) demands or threatens. US sabre-rattling against Iran is worrying. A military attack must be resisted. However, opposition to Washington’s war-mongering and neo-imperial designs is no reason for socialists, greens and other progressives to go soft on Tehran. ... read full story / add a comment

Discussion chaired by Frank McDonald, journalist with The Irish Times, on a broad range of architectural and developmental issues that have become apparent in Celtic Tiger Dublin. Contributors include Dr. Gary Boyd, Ciarán Cuffe TD, Robert Ballagh and Siobhain Ní Éanaigh. The majority of the speakers were very critical of Celtic Tiger Ireland, a change from previous "architectural discussion". The talk happened in Docklands "white elephant", CHQ, aka: Stack A. Sunday August 10 2008 was the day of the discussion, day after the worst rainfall that Ireland had ever seen in the month of august, a wake up call if ever there was one of how we have to adress climate chaos...http://radio.indymedia.org/es/node/17169 ... read full story / add a comment |
