Here is a copy of a leaflet a Socialist Youth distributed to highlight the use of Belfast International Airport (Aldergrove) by US military 'rendition' flights. Leaflets were handed to every one entering the airport, sometimes there was a small queue of traffic to get the leaflets. Most people were supportive of our protest. Hopefully, this will help to expose the state collusion in assisting torture flights. read full story / add a comment

The escalating repression taking place now in the Philippines is no coincidence. Twenty years since the end of the dictatorship and three "people's power" uprisings later, Philippine society is hugely polarized. read full story / add a comment

This event is organised under the Processes of Nation Building Programme, which aims to create understanding and build relationships through dialogue and reflection with all those who have an interest in nation building across Ireland. This year’s camp will have a Latin American flavour with Friday Evening dedicated to Che Guevara and events in Cuba. Saturday’s programme will take in the 25th anniversary of the 1981 Hunger Strike and Kieran Doherty’s election as T.D. for Cavan/Monaghan. It will also explore the issue of young people engaging in politics in 1981 and now.

The Annual Wolfe Tone Commemoration takes place this Sunday 18 June at 2pm in Bodenstown. For the geographically challenged, Bodenstown is near the village of Sallins, County Kildare. For the historically challenged it is the last resting place of Theobald Wolfe Tone, founder of the United Irishmen and the first leading light of Irish Republicanism. The 25th anniversary of the 1981 Hunger Strike will form the theme of this year's Bodenstown Commemoration. The main speaker is Sinn Féin Ard Chomhairle member and North Belfast MLA Gerry Kelly. Ógra Shinn Féin are urging mass mobilisation amongst their activists and supporters for the commemoration this year. read full story / add a comment

"Surveillance and social-classification are the mode through which one person engages with another. Log onto MySpace, check your friends' profiles, leave a comment or two, move people around your "Top 8" - this might be a typical session on the site. We will not stop posting personal information as long as these data holds social and interactive value. Surveillance and identity modulation has become the vehicle of these media, and, increasingly, our networked lives." read full story / add a comment

On Nov 19, 2005, a roadside bomb hit a patrol convoy of Marine humvees in Haditha, killing Lance Corporal Miguel Terrazas. The twelve men in 1st Squad led by Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, proceeded to storm nearby buildings throwing grenades into rooms and gunning down the occupants, innocent Iraqi men, women and children in cold blood. What caused these men to kill innocents? Was it the heat of battle? No, I would suggest, it is directly linked to the ethos of the elite US Marine Corps. read full story / add a comment

Raymond Devos the Belgian born, French resident & Francophone Cartoonist, Comedian, Political (& national) satirist has died of a brain hemorrhage today. He was a very funny man who's humour & wit crossed borders & langauges. He will be sorely missed. . Everyone who met Raymond Devos liked him. His jokes were both simple & intelligent. He'll be sincerely missed. He made many friends, most of whom will want to attend his sudden funeral. He won lots of important awards for being funny & clever but won't get a state funeral from either France of Belgium. Raymond Devos was in no common sense of the word a popular man. & sincere with it. He rose to acceptance of his extraordinary talent through circus acts & written puns of astounding complexity. In 1956 He worked with Jean Luc Godard on the movie "Pierrot le Fou". read full story / add a comment

A young Irish man is flying to Arizona today (June 15) to begin an amazingly difficult journey of recovery from arthritus that's had him on crutches for almost a decade. His ordeal is being documented, and the film, 'Walking', will completed in 2008. Nothing is more incredible, moving and noteworthy than a person's determination to show the world that he will never give up, will share every experience and- most of all-can recover one hundred per cent when the odds are against him. read full story / add a comment
