Yesterday, Galway Food Not Bombs in its ongoing campaign to attenuate the slaughter and war mongering of this world fed people for free in Shop street rather than murdered them with bombs. However, based on Fareed Zakaria opinion, next Sunday's banner will read; Tranquillisers Not Bombs : "the American discussion about Iran has lost all connection to reality. . . . Iran has an economy the size of Finland's. . . . It has not invaded a country since the late 18th century. The United States has a GDP that is 68 times larger and defense expenditures that are 110 times greater. Israel and every Arab country (except Syria and Iraq) are . . . allied against Iran. And yet we are to believe that Tehran is about to overturn the international system and replace it with an Islamo-fascist order? What planet are we on?." http://counterpunch.org/moayedian10272007.html

about 100 people attend the Shroom march Amsterdam Sat. last

The Dutch government have decided to ban shroom sales. But at least one hundred people gathered to save them Saturday last carrying colourful shroomie messages "When will they ban bread?" and "Boss of your own brain", they thus vowed to go on doing whatever it is they do to their brain.

Amongst marchers were included the weighty psychedelic Arno Adelaars who criticised foreign tourists for getting pissed up on beer, gawking at prostitutes, stuffing their faces with hash cake & then thinking that's the time for a dose of psilicybin. Quite right. I agree. Rather than banning the shrooms they should ban the tourists. read full story / add a comment

A weekend of workshops, talks and films will be held in Seomra Spraoi from 16th-18th November. The purpose of the weekend is to get people new to activism from various backgrounds and groups to meet up, get to know each other and learn from the experience of the current Gluaiseacht activists and others.
