The Ernst Kirchweger Haus (EKH) in Vienna, Austria was squatted in 1990. During the past 15 years it became an internationalist, anti-fascist, self-run space.
Since midnight, 2/3 of the house is without contracts again, so the people inside are now preparing for the case of eviction and mobilise to make public pressure for a written, law-valid guarantee. read full story / add a comment

The free movement of workers is claimed within the EU but now with reduced, curtailed rights, workers moving from one country to another find themselves discriminated against. In effect they are being recast as second class EU citizens, only achieving first class status when it comes to pay taxes. read full story / add a comment

Melita Norwood has died at the age of 84 in her bexleyheath home.

Born in 1937 she became an agent for the Soviet Union at the age of 25.

She was exposed cruelly in 1999 and said that "she had only wanted Russia to be on an equal footing" and that as agent "Hola!" had sold secrets on nuclear weapon development to the Soviet Union. In fact she gave them, without personal profit. read full story / add a comment

The Irish police (An Garda Shítonyá) stand exposed as riddled with institutionalised corruption from top to bottom.

In the McBrearty case these bent cops set up innocent people for imaginary murder - and this scandal is not the greatest of their crimes. The ongoing cover-up of this case has lasted 9 years, and is now being exposed.

This 57minute DivX video document made from secret police interrogation footage and explosive documentation introduces the whole story. 100MB download. read full story / add a comment

Marking The Democratic Republic of Congo's independence day, over a hundred of Galway's Congolese and African community, along with a sprinkling of Galway activists, took to the streets today to protest against the wanton slaughter of 10 million DRC civilians this past decade, the refusal of the DRC's transitional government to hold elections and at the fact that life expectancy in their country remains at early to mid-forties.

This love bomb of a protest, the singing, dancing, drumming, the pristine joie de vivre made us token "sprinklers" sheepish (all of us seasoned protest marchers), made us feel that we are only saturnine tyros when it comes to protesting - with such positive energy, perhaps, Ireland's Congolese/African community
could do us all a favour by levitating the Pentagon 99 miles high before dumping it with maximum contempt into the Mindinao Trench?. read full story / add a comment

Outraged by yesterday's obscene jailing of the Rossport Five, Galway activists, their number greatly augmented by the Congolese and African community, picketed the dockland oil depot/offices of Shell Oil today.

The fiery Padraig Cambell inspired us with his no bollocks address, winkled out a hard hat Shell honcho from his, well, shell, to deliver a note of protest and, to boot, led a contingent of activists to the nearby Constituency Clinic of Eamon O' Cuiv to remind him of his duty towards his Gaeltacht brothers and sisters.

This coming Monday, at 10.30 AM, activists are urged to protest outside the Constituency Clinic (beside the Royal Rock Cafe, Ballybane Industrial Estate) of state minister, Frank Fahey. read full story / add a comment
