Galway City is in fervourous ferment at the moment brewing up a head of righteous steam for the Big One on Friday against the actions of Eamonn Rothwell & co; the city is awash with posters for the Day of Protest & Action mainly, let it be said, from the SWP calling for support and also for a General Strike, a call I vigorously support - what's the point of fucking about, no more foreplay, fuck Irish Ferries, IBEC and Ahern's government.

The Catholic Worker crew in OZ have set off to inspect a U.S. NSA/CIA base Pine Gap, near Alice Springs in the centre of the continent.

…from The Times (UK): “Colonel Barry Johnson, the United States military spokesman in Baghdad, said the US military is reviewing the video ‘to see if an investigation is warranted and whether to open one’. Colonel Johnson, added: ‘They [the US military] are assessing it to determine if there is any evidence that warrants an investigation. The first indication I had of this case was some days ago.’ Foreign contractors are required to obey the same rules as the military in warning civilian motorists not to approach convoys by waving them away and firing warning shots. Part of the video footage appears to show a civilian car accelerating towards the convoy vehicle.” ... read full story / add a comment |
