Israeli blood diamonds will be forever ....on your conscience. As the Christmas season approaches the Israeli government can look forward to another bumber inflow of revenue to its exchequer funded by consumers the world over who unwittingly purchase Israeli blood diamonds. Few people are aware that Israel is the world's largest producer of cut and polished diamonds. read full story / add a comment

Aminatou Haidar is now three weeks drinking sugar-water at Lanzarote airport because her papers were stolen by Morocco. The Spanish government has little to say on the issue of a Peace-activist and Nobel recommended woman dying on their doorstep and Morocco presses ahead with whatever attracts them in the Western Sahara. http://www.thinkspain.com/news-spain/17393/fedissah-pre...ation read full story / add a comment

Yesterday, on Monday the 7th of December, Mr Robert Ševcik was in the Richmond Court to conclude a marathon hearing that had spilled into a second day. Mr. Ševcik an animal rights activist, was answering to four charges, ranging from threatening, insulting and abusive behaviour, under the Public Order Act, to failing to produce his passport upon demand, under the Immigration Act. All of these charges arose out of a protest at Barnado's Furriers on Grafton st. close to the Molly Malone statue, on the 18th of October, 2008. It was a case littered with perjury, a missing garda sergeant and a mysterious garda inspector. Nonetheless, at the end of the case, the judge accepted Mr Ševcik's evidence and he walked out of the court, with each and every charge dismissed.

Pat Kenny's radio show has long been a platform for the most kookiest of deniers, and it is quite clear where his own views are on the subject. In fact, the only thing that appears to get him more, eh, heated, is somebody with the temerity to mention the use of progressive taxation! Particularly when as an alternative out of the current economic crisis... So, I thought he'd yet again play it somewhat cagey (as in hiding his bias against the overwhelming consensus) but clearly give Plimer an easy time of it, however, Kenny just let the mask slip very, very visibly. The 'debate' would be Kenny & Plimer vs Gibbons and 99.9% of the peer-reviewed science. Kenny treated Plimer with kid gloves and then called Gibbons an “apostle” for climate change. read full story / add a comment

After a lenghty wait, the DPP has finally recieved the report over the Terence Wheelock custody death from the Garda Ombudsman. The Wheelock family have been critical of the inordinate amount of time it has taken the ombudsman to finish the investigation, as the bulk of inquiries had already been finished late last year and have stated again that this case will go all the way to the European Court of Human Rights.. For the full article go to the Sunday Tibune website: http://www.tribune.ie/article/2009/dec/06/dpp-sent-repo...elock read full story / add a comment

A court has upheld the right of a private citizen to film gardaí. A judge found the person filming to acting lawfully and within his rights, and fined the two members of the Garda Siochána who assaulted him to prevent him filming to have acted illegally. They were given small fines, even though they pleaded not guilty and lied to the court about the nature of the assault. There is no law against filming anyone in a public place in Ireland, and that includes the police. If they don't want to be caught on camera doing something, then they shouldn't be doing it. Lastly, can you imagine what the sentence would be for a protester who grabbed a garda and assaulted him to stop him filming? read full story / add a comment
