The death has occured of an indymedia NYC photojournalist and activist in Oaxaca Mexico. He was shot by forces loyal to the Governor of Oaxaca as he was videoing in the zone of the popular uprising led by the APPO- The Popular Assembly of the Oaxacan People. We have all seen the photos of the assassin, the downed photographer and the scenes in NYC of Erin Siegel Indymedia photographer/Reuter photographer being arrested and her camera confiscated. The Protest at the Mexican Consulate was a solidarity and celebration of Brad Will's Life. Others have died this week in Oaxaca, members of the APPO and the medium for Broadcast of the APPO, the Radio Universidad was attacked and put off Air. In all this the activist and writer has died and brought the truth of the lawlessness of the federales who are sponsored by the US into our community. It should not have taken a death to do this. ... read full story / add a comment

How insulting is this. Bremer had two lieutenants on the economic front: Thomas Foley and Michael Fleischer, the heads of “private sector development” for the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA). Foley is a Greenwich, Connecticut, multimillionaire, a longtime friend of the Bush family and a Bush-Cheney campaign “pioneer” who has described Iraq as a modern California “gold rush.” Fleischer, a venture capitalist, is the brother of former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. Neither man had any high-level diplomatic experience and both use the term corporate “turnaround” specialist to describe what they do. According to Foley, this uniquely qualified them to manage Iraq’s economy because it was “the mother of all turnarounds.” Baghdad Year Zero http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0924-13.htm ... read full story / add a comment

Ex- Dublin city manager John Fitzgerald, who may be remembered in the Fair City as the bureaucrat appointed by FF to oversee the estimates and ensure the liquidation of local 'democracy' in the absence of agreement on the annual estimates..... has been appointed to bring back 'Law and order' to the environs of Limerick city. Including, it seems Moyross, it is presumed that the man with the plan- (unelected again) will co-ordinate activites of the various services to maintain enough discipline to get FF through an election......Yippeeee ... read full story / add a comment

The Dutch governement does not care what happens in their country. Children are kidnapped even from abroad (also from Ireland) and put in jails, madhouses and are exploited sexually. Even as young as 7 or 8 year olds! The governement funds this! They also want to legalise paedophilism and have child prostitutes pay tax on sex like all over 18 prostitutes do in the Netherlands. The governement wants the young below the age of 25 to fend for themselves so they are planning to cut all forms of social welfare to the under 25 year olds. Now THEY TURNED THEIR ATTENTION TO THE OLD AND POOR! The social housing has to go in order to sell these houses for profit. The elderly and the poor flee their houses after years of harrassment and bullying. They are forced to leave their belongings behind. The ones that stay are forced out by the police. Anyone actively helping like the organisation “De Algemene Kraak Vereniging” is arrested. ... read full story / add a comment

Please let this be known: People are still dying in Chile for fighting for their basic human rights. Waikilaf has been in jail for over 2 months now. He was not convicted and does not await a trial, much like Owen Rice here in Ireland. Waikilaf has been tortured. Burns from boiling water can be seen on his back. He needs your letters to get him out before he is killed. ... read full story / add a comment |
