Irish activists working in the areas of social and environmental justice will be paying close attention to events in Brazil and Austria over the next few days. The World Economic Forum (WEF), widely acknowledged as the 'think tank' behind modern capitalism, will meet in the Swiss ski resort of Davos. The WEF is made up of a select invitation only group of the world's most powerful businesspeople and politicians. Each year they are met with protests and direct actions by those who claim their economic agenda amounts to terrorism and it will be no different this year. ... read full story / add a comment

"It's all about oil." Those four words are often used to denounce the planned attack on Iraq. For many in the antiwar movement, the idea that the "Bushies" plan to invade the Gulf to get their greasy hands on more oil has become an article of faith, an unquestionable truth repeated like a mantra. But how true is it? ... read full story / add a comment

Whoever in Zurich reports (too) critically about police and authorities (1) or even institutes legal proceedings against fallible officials (2), doesn't have to worry about reprisals like f.e. illegal raid of editorial offices (3), illegal confiscations of editorial papers, negative films and videotapes (4), violent arrestations (5). Plus the usual little avalanche of charges & legal proceedings (5) under such intriguing titles as ... ... read full story / add a comment

Though some people have already spoken to their Dail representatives about this issue before, there is a need for a more forceful effort this time. Contact your local TDs, speak to them directly and write to them, calling on them to vote against Ireland's participation in war and against US military overflights and stopovers. ... read full story / add a comment

Thrilled and heartened to hear of the marriage of distinguished grey Anarchist Alan and gorgeous Mary, No fights at the wedding this time that I saw. But I do wonder. Nester Makhno used to take a dim view of his people getting splied to Mensheviks. Cut off their balls I'm told. What did the chief Bakhuninites have to say about it? And the Kautsky's of the CWI Peter Taaffe, (Sir) peter Haddon and Joe the Good -- had they not an opinion on this bizarre union? Anyway lots of congratualtions from all on Indymedia and lots of little Victor Serges. Warms your heart in these cold days to think that rue love can overcome all adversity!!!!!!!! ... read full story / add a comment

I'm just wondering if anyone else found that the use of the 'Mission Impossible' soundtrack for the piece last night about messrs. Kitt and O'Higgins going out to Iraq offensive? I'm not normally troubled by such trivialities, but I think a diplomatic mission of such relative importance should be part of the 'serious news', and not the light relief at the end. ... read full story / add a comment |
