[Due to limited time and breaking all the Obituary rules] :- The death Of Norman Mailer has been announced:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Mailer and instead I want to focus on one issue about his writing and that is the Gilmore Case and the resultant book :- 'The Executioner's Song' which set a bar in documenting the issue of US capital Punishment and also tied into the Timothy Mc Veigh Case in an interesting manner. read full story / add a comment

Whilst we have come to expect little else for corporations like Royal Dutch Shell, yesterdays fines imposed on rogue traders trying to fix the price of natural gas clearly show that such companies are rotten to the core, solely driven by profits and greed and have little or no interest in social respondsibility. These guys run cartels daily that effects all of us. read full story / add a comment

Today, to commemorate Shell's judicial murder of the Ogonii 9 and a look back in anger at the Garda baton-fest a year ago, some 400 activists journeyed from all reaches of Ireland to voice our outrage outside and inside Shell's Bellanaboy site, I was with the section of protestors that first manned the front line at Bellanaboy bridge at 6AM at the request of S2S when it was rightly surmised that Shell and the Guards would attempt to steal a march by bringing the workers in early - for a while, before Garda weight of numbers prevailed, we were effective in blockading and preventing them from earning their 30 pieces of Mammon silver inside. read full story / add a comment

One of the most serious issues of European exploitation, corrupt Charity activity & international relations Monday last saw Sarkozy play his "Super Sarko" role in a headline grabbing stunt the reaction to which has already bolstered calls for November 30th to be declared "No Sarko in Media Day". The government of Chad (in Africa) has started taking against so-called "charity" agencies who are accused of trafficking in children by arranging their adoption by European parents without the consent of their natural parents or surviving family or wards. This is a very big story which touches many other very important issues. In the last week both French & Spanish citizens were held in Chad under charges of "child-trafficking". The Spaniards included pilot, co-pilot and cabin crew of the jet on which the children would have been flown out of the state by the "Zoe's Ark" charity. read full story / add a comment

I went to Shannon airport at about 8.15 am this morning. Today was another “quiet” day at Shannon. There are more Ryanair flights, but far fewer other civilian flights including Aer Lingus, other long haul tourist or business flights. However, US military and CIA flights are continuing at a high level. read full story / add a comment

2001 Genova G8: We are history! - call to mobilization november 17th 2007 It's been years we have asked everybody to take responsibility as collectively as possible for what the mobilizations against G8 in Genoa were. The arrogance of Genoa prosecutors during the final speech of their accusation in the court case against 25 protestors accused of devastation and sacking seems to have eventually aroused the hearts and brains of 300000 people that in Genoa opposed themselves to the politics of the G8. read full story / add a comment

On the 04/09/07 there was a press release detailing a possible mis-diagnosis problem in relation to the mammogram service at Portlaoise Hospital, the press release said that there were possibly 5,000 women effected and there was no press release from Mary Harney's Department. The
Hospital board and the HSE managed the timed release of materials including the fact that
many of the patients had been on the Treatment Purchase Fund Scheme. This info emanated
in the direct aftermath of Ms Harney's travelling to Barrington's Hospital in Cork where up to
1,000 women were similarly effected. Today there is a press release from DOHC which is
written in response to emergent details of 8 women with a diagnosis of cancer who had
been cleared and 19 awaiting second opinions. http://www.dodc.ie/press/releaes/2007/200711102b.html read full story / add a comment

Last Wednesday the Tehran regime marked Halloween with some more union bashing. Ebrahim Madadi’s, vice-president of the Trade Union in the Tehran Vahed Bus Company, was sentenced to two years in jail. Mr. Madadi was tried on the allegation of acting against “national security”. I guess they really mean that unions make the Iran bosses feel insecure. read full story / add a comment |
