Lieutenant General Dermot Earley the gung-ho ex-Ranger and commander of the Irish military must be licking his lips!

The Minister for Foreign Affairs says he expects a Government decision to be made on Tuesday over the deployment of up to four hundred Irish troops in eastern Chad.

Dermot Ahern has just returned from a four day visit to Sudan and Chad, during which he met with Government leaders as well as aid workers and local people.

If the Government gives its go-ahead for the mission the Dáil will then have to give its approval.

A gung-ho military bored with guarding armoured money vans wants to get its hands dirty in a nasty imperialist war in Africa. read full story / add a comment

An International week in solidarity with Iranian Workers is being organised for November 24-30, 2007. This action is support of the Iranian People and against the Capitalist Iranian Government but is also against the US Capitalist Warmongers.

The recent wave of oppression against activists of workers' organizations in Iran and other social movements is not a new incident but a routine practice of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI). This wave of repression nevertheless has caused the radicalization and development of class-based labour protests. These conditions have jeopardized the entirety of Islamic Republic of Iran. Social and economic crises are rapidly escalating. It is a proven fact that the promises of the capitalist regime of Iran are false and that this regime has brought nothing but the continuous oppression of working people. This regime has caused ever-increasing poverty and misery for working class. read full story / add a comment

The Sixteen Day Campaign for stopping Violence Against Women is set for the 25th November
to the Tenth of December 2007. Lip Service and Tokenism abound here, but it is a period
that internationally women address Safety, Violence, Rape, Women's Aid and of course, how
our divided societies create a wealth class of pseudo-feminism and an opposing class
of community activism based wholly in gendered stereo-typing and money, or to be politically
correct about it how we make our daughters second class citizens by ignoring their Basic Rights.

Miliband wants the EU to Remember Him and his Ambitions

Tony Blair had self-nominated David Miliband to take up the cudgels of office in the wake of
his departure from office, but apart from creating a few little ripples the whole idea was
a non-starter for Blair and for Miliband. He got placed, instead in Britain's Foreign Office
and last night he began to use his office to 'make speeches' , which are both unbelievably
crass and inopportune. They involve beligerence against an already pissed off Putin
and a diplomatic word to 'Keep our promises to Turkey', meanwhile in Turkey, a political
party with connections to the PKK is being banned. We all know what that means in Ireland..
Reductio ad Absurdum.:Reduce debate, achieve political consensus and sell off assets
to benefit the wealthy.

While on his way there, the comrade, only 16 years of age, together with some friends, spotted a guy sporting nazi paraphernalia on the underground. When confronted, he pulled out a knife, stabbed Carlos, the comrade, in the heart, and another antifascist militant in the lung, while trying to run out of the tube station. Carlos died, the other guy has been badly hurt, but doctors say he will live.

Published: 13 November, 2007

The Sinn Féin Spokesperson on Natural Resources and the Environment, Martin Ferris TD, has voiced his regret over the decision by the Environmental Protection Agency to grant a license to the Corrib Consortium to proceed with the planned gas refinery at Bellanaboy, County Mayo. Deputy raised the issue in the Dáil this afternoon in an effort to have the issue debated, particularly in the light of the Green Party's previous opposition to the sitting of a refinery at that location.

People in Erris and around the world are puzzled by the resemblance of the new Garda Superintendent in Belmullet with "Johnny Sack" Sacramoni from the Sopranos Television programme.

http://www.hbo.com/sopranos/cast/character/johnny_sack....shtml

http://www.mayonews.ie/index.php?option=com_content&tas...id=38

Locals have speculated that the two may be related, or even whether the actor Vince Curatola has been hired by Mayo Gardaí to portray a heavy-handed police officer. Recent gangster tactics seen in Erris may indicate that the actor has taken his role too far. read full story / add a comment
