Its good to see that the spirit of Christ is alive and well in the US Catholic Church. These are the same goons who are trying to avoid claims from abuse victims and are refusing the sacrements to Pro-Choice politicians.

Al-Jazeera must be doing something right for Dictator Bush to want to bomb them. That is, if he hadn't bombed them in 2001 and 2003 already. George McGovern talks about Poppy Bush's opposition to the war. Jody Paulson compares GWB to Tricky Dick. An awesome speech by NBA Star Eaton Thomas of the Washington Wizzards and finally, Ward Churchill brings it home. read full story / add a comment

By George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian 14th May 2002

Persuasion works best when it’s invisible. The most effective marketing worms its way into our consciousness, leaving intact the perception that we have reached our opinions and made our choices independently. As old as humankind itself, over the past few years this approach has been refined, with the help of the internet, into a technique called “viral marketing”. Last month, the viruses appear to have murdered their host. One of the world’s foremost scientific journals was persuaded to do something it has never done before, and retract a paper it had published. read full story / add a comment

Just a quick message to announce the formation of a new anarchist group, aimed at teenagers and students.

We have agreed to hold our first meeting on:

Saturday December 10th

For those who are not sure where that is, we will be meeting outside the Trinity College Gates at 12.30.

The day will be divided into three sections, including:

1) A quick/interesting introduction to anarchism. Also, a brief talk on the anarchist groups and the general state of anarchism in Ireland.

2) A screening of a number of radical films, highlighting previous actions both nationwide and globally.

3) An open meeting with the purpose of forming a youth based anarchist group.

Please do come along!

Irish Independent reports that a previous occupation of the MV Normandy led to the consideration of using teargas. Plainclothes security personnel are rumoured to have boarded the vessel prepared and equipped to use teargas. This report by Gerald Flynn paints the taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, in a positive light and refrains from pointing out that the oul bollocks hasn't done anything except talk bollocks. read full story / add a comment
