Aaron Brown, who has his own late night news show on CNN, is a man who inspires confidence. Unfortunately, the confidence inspiring demeanor is part of the confidence game of the Corporate Media. Brown's real talent lies elsewhere. He is CNN's best reality patcher - the man you call when there is "a glitch in the Matrix." ... read full story / add a comment

Interesting article from today's Guardian - When a delegation of rabbis travelled to Lima to convert a group of South American Indians to Judaism, they added just one condition: come and live with us in Israel. As soon as these new Jews arrived in the country, they were bussed straight to settlements in the disputed territories. ... read full story / add a comment

The Ansbacher scandal in Ireland and other similar issues which have surfaced in recent years in other Celtic countries make the threat of sleaze and corruption more apparent. Until the recent corporate scandals which seem to permeate all levels of commerce it appears to have been the policy of governments to look the other way and the decision announced by US president George Bush to crack down on 'corporate crooks' has only come about after disastrous business failures. ... read full story / add a comment

First I have to say that many of us here on this Island heard the EZLN when, at the beginning of 1994 they pointed out to the world that the third world war had ended and that the fourth world war had begun. We are celebrating today the victory of Mexican farmers and Civil Society in their recent conflict with the Mexican Government. We cried when we heard of the death of one brother at the hands of the Mexican State but take courage from what we have heard of the resistance to the state coming from people of all ages and genders. It gives all of us who struggle for Justice and Dignity everywhere a feeling that it is possible to struggle and to win small battles in this WW 4. ... read full story / add a comment

An Irish student has moved into a Palestinian home in the West Bank in an effort to prevent the Israeli army from demolishing the building, which houses three families. Israel has marked the house for destruction because a member of one of the families was involved in a Hamas suicide bombing several weeks ago. The other family members were arrested after the bombing, but were released because they were obviously not involved in the attack. ... read full story / add a comment

A computer game called Kill Yourself a Gypsy appeared in early 2000. It began to circulate not long after a wall was built in Maticni Street, in the Czech town of Usti nad Labem. The wall was built to separate Roma (Gypiesy) from their "white" Czech neighbours. In the game the player has to shoot at Gypsies who appear on the screen while adding blocks to the wall. The game was of a piece with the casual racism against Roma that pervades the post-communist Czech Republic. ... read full story / add a comment
