I need to give some background to why this letter is dated. Fintan wrote and sent this letter out to me on December 2nd, to be put out before the blockade. It arrived in my letterbox today, December 8th. Other letters he has sent have arrived within 24 hours of sending. The prison censors must have made a conscious, politically motivated decision to delay the sending of this one, as it encourages people to attend December 6th and make it a success. I doubt that the delay is the fault of An Post, given the speed with which Fintan's other letters have been delivered. We know the blockade was indeed a success, but I thought it appropriate to post this letter up verbatim regardless, because we wouldn't want to buy into attempts to silence an anti-war prisoner. Instead, let's use this as fuel to spark the planning of the next blockade. Deirdre Clancy (Pitstop Ploughshares). ... read full story / add a comment

Was chatting to a member of Ográ Sinn Féin over the weekend and I brought up the Coca-Cola boycott issue with him and some of the problems I had with the party’s stance on the issue. He told me that the party had not had a policy stance on the matter when the referendum took place in UCD and so members were relatively free to take what stance they wished. He went on to claim that this was no longer the case and that at an Ard Comhairle meeting last week the Ard Comhairle had overwhelmingly voted to adopt a position of supporting the boycott campaign. I expressed surprise at this making the point that there had been nothing in the media about it and no statements from the party on it. He could offer no explanation for this but he was very sure that the decision was taken. So basically, I am looking to see if anyone else has heard the same thing and what effect does this have on those members of the party’s Ard Comhairle who openly opposed the boycott campaign? ... read full story / add a comment

As U S war machines continued to refuel their genocidal machines of chaos and destruction on our soil demonstrators made their way from the town center to a barricaded junction where they were met with more of the same oppression as before. A small group of demonstrators stayed at the roundabout outside of the town. While the rest made their via an alternative root. However on the way down they were met by the proverbial schoolyard bullies the demo was small but representative. It included all the anti-war coalition regulars and socialists (plus guest appearances from the lads and ladies in black) ... read full story / add a comment

The attempt to blockade Shannon Airport could be considered a qualified success. Credit is due to those who attended and those who worked to build the demo over a period of months. As with any anti-war event, there are identifiable pluses and minuses. ... read full story / add a comment
