It's almost unheard of for any mainstream media organisation to give positive or honest coverage of direct action, action camps etc, so on the rare occasion that it does happen, it's worth seeing. Below is a scan of the front page of last The Independent (UK) of last Saturday (18 August, 2007). The cover story is a special report on the Climate Camp at Heathrow. read full story / add a comment

Heres an English translation of a story which got little attention in the mainstream media, what was published was sketchy and confusing. Kathlyn Stone provided the translations for the statements and wrote the main story. The full story is at the link. On the 4th of July, U.S. military and Iraqi national guards opened fire with bullets and grenades on the Baghdad home of Abdel-Hussein Saddam. The severely wounded Abdel-Hussein was taken away and his 18-year-old daughter was left alone, injured and bleeding on the floor. Abdel-Hussein’s beaten body turned up at the Yarmouk morgue on July 6. The murder of Abdel-Hussein was the most devastating of four attacks by the U.S. military on the Iraq Freedom Congress in the past 10 months. The IFC is comprised primarily of trade unionists, community leaders, women’s and children’s rights workers who are determined to look after their own. IFC’s goals are to salvage the lives of as many Iraqis as possible, and to end the occupation and sectarian fighting. read full story / add a comment

Yet again the Government has shown itself limited by the market push of the EU and the FDA with regard to choice in health care and diet. The FDA and EU had worked on an operating system, which cost millons where the net result is the coloured bar on the end of your ceral box which tells you the RDA of your food. Its the 'buy it bulk and sell it back at profit' school of thought which brought the ban on St John's Wort and the envisaged ban on Tea Tree Oil. In translation it just means that in exchange for the profit of the Multi's we get treated like kids with regard to Choice! The letters are to be directed to: Commissioner Markos Kyrianou DG Sanco, The European Commission B-1049 Brussels. Belgium. read full story / add a comment

Last week we all watched as the titular head of the Irish justice Department actively deported a six year old autistic boy, along with his twin sister and his mother. They were put on a commercial flight to Lagos, late at night and given enough cash for an hotel. In the last day a Mexican woman who had sought refuge for 12 months in a church and had become the voice of economic migrants and illegals in the US was picked up and deported to Tijuana, leaving behind her, her eight year old boy Saul. Elvira Arellano has vowed to continue her fight from the other side of the border. If we look at the newswire the overwhelming amount of these cases have involved women and children. No surprises there, they are slower and easier to catch. read full story / add a comment

The Irish Government is building a four-lane motorway only 1 km from the main site of The Hill of Tara however the whole land around the main hill is of archeological interest, historical interest and spiritual interest. In July 2007 bulldozers came in the middle of the night (possibly to avoid the protestors, speculation but I can't see any excuse for using bulldozers in the middle of the night) destroying an ancient burial ground at Baronstown in the Tara-Skryne valley. Independent archaeologists claimed this site was of national monument status! The site was entirely devastated. read full story / add a comment

Independent Media Centre, otherwise known as CIM and Indymedia operates a women's list which has links to both Global and Pan -European sites, where women are working on tech development and support mechanisms for women writers. Most of the developers do not hail from Indymedia but from a wide variety of disciplines that feed into each other and generally there are multiple crossings between lists. http://www.linuxchix.org and http://europeanfeministforum.org are two of the groups that participate in creating spaces for developing free open software systems. read full story / add a comment
