Galway IPSC, yesterday, outraged at this obscenity too far, took to the streets in protest. read full story / add a comment

In Erris, protests continue every day at the site of the proposed refinery at Bellanaboy, County Mayo. Last Friday, June 29th, was the second anniversary of the imprisonment of the Rossport Five. The day saw the continuing of the operation to strip the surface peat away from the Bellanaboy refinery site, and as is now normal, local people protesting were joined by supporters of the Shell to Sea campaign from other parts of Ireland and abroad. As usual, the Garda response to the protests was brutal. One protester was arrested and many more were assaulted. Gardaí also threw activists into the deep ditches near the Bellanaboy site. Videos of the protests on Friday morning can be seen here: http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=kAXKHu3_bKo http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=tSMF4GgnC_I http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=u7jnUOq8LYA or check www.youtube.ie/shelltohell read full story / add a comment

3 years ago the state of Ethiopia began what would become a monumental struggle when they announced their intention to trademark their Coffee Bean. The Ethiopian highlands & the surrounding "horn of Africa" were the origin of the drink coffee as far back as the 9th century [common era]. Specifically the Ethiopian state wanted to assert internationally recognised intellectual copyright on a range of coffee beans which to this day are mostly cultivated in the east African state. Many welcomed the move as evidence that late 20th century capitalism which has seen ownership concepts extended to ideas, living organisms & even specific genecodes could be a game which the poorest states might play to their advantage as well. Then came the orchestrated response of the Seattle USA based multi-national corporation Starbucks. Earlier this month both the company and state came to a settlement. read full story / add a comment

'Conspiracy Theorists' have been saying this for years, of course. Perhaps George is just helping Tony in his new job? amazing quote of the day: 'No matter how good the security, terrorists will always be able to explode a bomb on a crowded street.' - so much for the GWOT, now its all about image management. read full story / add a comment

A 2005 UNICEF report suggested 97%of Egyptian women between ages 15 and 49 had undergone some type of genital mutilation or circumcision. Last week ago Bodur Ahmed Shaker an 11 year old girl died after undergoing the operation at a private clinic in Minya province in the south of the state. Doctors at the clinic had suggested her death was due to a a heavy dose of anaesthetic and her operation is believed to have been a result of her parents wish to preserve her chastity.., Since then the Egyptian establishment has moved to close a final loop-hole in their legislation which had allowed a practise which has been common since Pharonic times to continue. The change to the law announced this afternoon followed statements on Islamic theology from the state mufti (supporting the end to this barbaric practice and reminding all it has no scriptural basis in either Quran or Talmud [old testament] ) read full story / add a comment

We do not know if the new improved EC Constitution which will be voted in 2008 includes a 'God Clause' but we do know that the good German Doctor Kues has plans for the women of the EU, which is to promote the equality agenda through rediscovering the traditional family. This should make the Poles and the Right wing Irish who collude so diffidently in the oppression of women remarkably happy. http://www.eu2007.de or -www.eu2007.de: read full story / add a comment
