PEOPLE

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank are expected to be in Ireland from around July 4th until July 15th. It is expected on July 15th, the IMF/WB vultures will be flying over us as they leave Ireland and again will be salivating and sneering at us on their way back to their ill gotten gains. Calling for a referendum and marching after the vultures have flown is pointless. Ask for permission to vote on something we never consented to in the first place? Deals done with the bloodsucking ECB/IMF/WB vampires by the corrupt, inept Fianna Fáil gangsters. Fine Gael/Labour wereelected on the false premise that they would take on the banks and senior bondholders. read full story / add a comment

I want to seperate out what is becoming problematic in terms of Irish Coalition Partnerships for a minute
and focus on how those people who attain power actually begin to use it. For instance , the Irish Dáil is
a place where ideology (of whatever flavour) is not an issue when entering into what we fondly term a junior
coalition partnership/ relationship with a majority party (JCP). it doesn't matter a bit, no political party , whatever
their stripe goes into poor areas and asks for votes , because they (and especially the Labour party) do not
care to know about poverty. It is invisible to them, and mostly at the moment in terms of access to education. read full story / add a comment

Our annual school – the Communist University – takes place in a world in flux. The near hysterical euphoria that surrounded the election of Barack Obama in 2008 has evaporated as US foreign policy is characterised by aggressive continuity – for all the flatulent talk of “change”. Change has come to the Arab world – from below. Millions have risen in defiance of batons and bullets in a revolutionary fight for democracy and freedom.

In the UK, we have see the first stirrings of revolt from the trade union movement against austerity and cuts with the gargantuan March 26 demo and talk of coordinated strike action. The movement across the rest of Europe is further advanced. We have seen huge mobilisations in Ireland, Greece and Spain. The battle lines are drawn. read full story / add a comment

Introducing a new cultural website.

After the death of England’s best-loved alcoholic gambling bigot, the queen mother, the Daily Mail rather ludicrously suggested that the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square should be given over permanently to a statue of her. The Guardian impishly proposed the potential responses of contemporary artists to the challenge. For Antony Gormley, we got ‘the angel of the south’: a steel sculpture of an old lady, complete with cane, handbag, absurd hat and enormous aeroplane wings.

This is how one pictures the angel of contemporary culture. Her eyes stare at hordes of tourists, bemused consumers of Britain’s heritage industry. Her existence is a cheap trick, a grandiose prosthesis grafted onto a piece of idiotic kitsch. Nobody any more is quite sure if she is a serious endeavour or a mischievous joke; the work of a dedicated artisan or of an industry. Unlike Benjamin’s angel,* she does not want to stay behind but to take flight from this shabby existence. Unfortunately, she is riveted to the plinth. These rivets are what we call capitalism.

'Fracking' is a term that not everyone may be aware of. It is used to describe a method of shale gas extraction known as Hydraulic Fracturing. Unfortunately it is a term we are very likely to hear a lot more about in the coming months and years. read full story / add a comment

J15-Catalan police used agent provocateurs in attempt to destroy M15 peaceful revolutionary movement
international / anti-capitalism / news report Thursday June 16, 2011 09:02 by #SpanishRevolution   text 16 comments (last - tuesday june 21, 2011 10:46)   image 17 images   video 3 video files
The M15 peaceful revolutionary movement in Spain has had profound success and has grown and still is growing. It has inspired similar things to happen in further afield, as Bob Dylan sang "The times they are a changin".

Yesterday we saw on the streets of Barcelona, the second sinsister move by the Catalan state / region, the first being the well publicised extreme violent action by the Mossos (Catalan police) on M27. What we saw was the open use of "agents provocateurs" in an attempt to split the movement, discredit the movement, give fuel to those (politicians, media...) who wish to see this #SpanishRevolution come to a quick end.

Well they have failed, their agents were caught on camera, watch the video, all is VERY VERY clear - Who are they real violent ones in this situation. M15 movement remains peaceful. We are winning. read full story / add a comment
