The Irish government is now threatening to deport immigrants on the grounds that their marriages to Irish citizens have broken down. Women who have worked legally in the republic for several years face being kicked out of the country because their partners have left them and their children. Notices of deportation were served within days of the Citizenship Referendum restricting access to Irish passports for the children of immigrants born on the island after 1998. ... read full story / add a comment

Greg Palast the investigative reporter and author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, carried this story for the BBC television show Newsnight and The Guardian newspaper in the UK back in 2000 and goes as far as to have in his possession two computer discs contains the 97,000 names of mostly Democrat-voting African-Americans which were illegally removed by the office of the Secretary of State of Florida from the Florida electoral roll. The list was so faulty that Mr. Palast even interviewed an conviction-free electoral returning officer whose name was purged from the electoral roll. Palast will also be revealing the details he has uncovered regarding precisely how Governor Jeb Bush [Bush The Younger’s brother] managed to swing Florida for the NeoCons when he appears as a panellist on a joint Minority Outreach Forum sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus and Senator Hillary Clinton. ... read full story / add a comment

Along with the late Fr. Paul Kabat & the late Larry Cloud Morgan, Helen and Carl were part of the Silo Pruning Hooks that carried out a nonviolent disarmament action on an ICBM missile silo in 1984. ***See link below for backgorund on this 1984 action.... Larry & Paul were sentenced to 8 years. Helen & Carl were sentenced to 18 years. Since 1984 Helen has spent less than a week out of custody. While in federal custody she carried out further resistance actions on military related industries in the federal prison. In the late '80' s she resigned from the specifically pacifist plowshares movement. When paroled in 1996, she expropriated $10.000 from a bank in Chicago. placed it on the floor of the bank, burnt it with lighter fluid and stated "money is the root of all evil!". She was released a few months ago and her probabtion breaking action is described below. ... read full story / add a comment
