Climate Change is happening and will get worse. Peat is the worst offender(worse than oil or coal)though on a global scale doesn't matter. Ireland has a commitment under Kyoto to cap its increace its Greenhouse Gas Emmissions at 13% above 1990 levels by 2010. At current rate of growth they will increace emmissions by 40%. The Celtic Tiger has no small role to play in this. The govt. could do a lot about this and has great plans such as carbon taxes which will a long time to fruition(you thought the plastic bags took a long time:-)). Today though they may as well have thrown those plans in the bin. Lip service how are ye? Then theres destruction to peatland, and a a whole gamut of knock on effects.

After the media coverage of the heckling at Liberty hall on Mayday, and the subsequent debate about who runs GR, some of us felt it was necessary to clarify our position as a group. It was decided at our last meeting that this letter should be send to Des Geraghty. This in no way negates the right of any individual to hold their own opinions and voice them as they see fit. Des Geraghty is to be invited to speak at a meeting so that anyone who wishes to raise issues with him may do so in person. ... read full story / add a comment

I'm only linking this in case IT have a wobbly over copyright. http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/ireland/2002/0515/1817683962HM4CTDEMPSEY.html Short link: http://makeashorterlink.com/?I1E625FD An Indymedia Journo is in court charged with obstructing a Guard during the Burlington Hotel anti-globalisation protest last year. The Journo is alledged to have obstructed the guard during an altercation in which a protester is alledged to have struck the Guard with a stick. The Journo is pleading not guilty to three charges: breach of the peace, obstruction and unlawful possession of a card-type Swiss army knife. I *think* (and correction would be appreciated), that the "card-type Swiss army knife" mentioned is this: http://www.victorinox.com/newsite/en/produkte/produktdetails/detail.cfm?pid=0-7106 Shorter link http://makeashorterlink.com/?P5C621FD I have one, here's the details 1 pin 1 nail file with screwdriver 5.4cm 1 plastic toothpick 4.2cm 1 tweezers 4.6cm 1 ballpoint pen 7cm 1 sissors 7.8cm (cutting edge 1.8cm) 1 knife 8 cm (cutting edge 4cm) "Unauthorised possession" my feckin arse. ... read full story / add a comment

Opinion Poll shows public massively opposed to police attack on RTS protest. A total of 67pc of people in the capital think the Gardai were unduly severe in their reaction to the protest when they resorted to batoning citizens. And nearly three quarters of young people - 74pc of those aged 18 to 24 - share this view. ... read full story / add a comment

I know that I should not rise to bait like this but I can not help it, please others reply to this letter (check the link) too. The letter basically says that those who were battoned at the RTS deserved it for harassing the Gardai, it is from a "supposed" peaceful protester. ... read full story / add a comment

In case anyone thought it had stopped, here's more news for you. It's increasing. The civilian airports of Ireland are becoming US Air Bases (in contravention of Article 28 of the Irish Constitution - not that Bertie gives a hoot about our constitution). The latest change is an INCREASE in Military traffic. Photos should follow soon. ... read full story / add a comment

The following evidence including a video (see associated link to actual footage) showing Palestinians faking a funeral in Jenin needs to be read and digested by the many accusers of Israel who have written on this site. It is not enough for the truth to be told. It needs to be heard. It needs to be acknowledged.

My close colleague came back into the office on Thursday afternoon, the end of our workweek, still in uniform with his M-16 and pistol on him. This was the day that the IDF left the Jenin refugee camp to reassemble in the area, returning to the status quo that existed before the Passover Eve Massacre, in which so many at the Park Hotel in Netanya were murdered by a suicide bomber. He was called up for emergency reserve duty (they call it an Order-8, or tzav shmona) and is the officer in charge of the military field infirmary, assigned to the reserve unit who lost the nine soldiers in that one incident last week. So what I'm passing on here was told directly to me, just hours after he left the Jenin area, while in Yokneam, 19 kilometers from Jenin (where we both work and he lives). I didn't record his ... read full story / add a comment

I'm an avid reader of the slate and enjoy its cut throat sarcasm along with filthy toilet humour! It would be really great in the circumstances to get a reply on indymedia from the author or the editor about the recent bullshit controversy over the 'smash capitalism' piece.

There was a meeting today of the Garda Rep Ass. where P.J Stone said there was another side to the RTS protest that was not shown to the public and if it had been he said the public would understand that the Gardai acted "responsibly".He was asked what the other story was and in response Stone said there was a "car damaged", "Smoke bomb used", a car with a baby in it was "kicked" and other instances i.e.spray painting buildings. ... read full story / add a comment
