Five Wednesday evenings starting on the 14th of November, 7.00pm to 9.00pm International trade rules have a massive impact on people in developing countries, whether they are farmers, workers or families just trying to make a living in the context of globalisation. Yet the rules of the global economy have been set up to serve the interests of big business, not people’s needs. Since around ten years a global movement is campaigning for trade rules that put people and the environment before the interests of big business. read full story / add a comment

Open letter to Minister John Gormley TD. The letter outlines how Limerick County Council's motor tax office have forced me off the road and are now failing to take responsibility for my plight. It is a complaint to the Minister, in the hopes that he may help to resolve the situation. I have not had an acknowledgement from the Minister's department yet in relation to my email. I have circulated my letter to a number of newspapers and it remains to be seen if they publish its contents. read full story / add a comment

Staff in the Thuringian town Nordhausen hold occupied their factory 'Bike-Systems' for two months now in an attempt to prevent the factory being closed down. Met with remarkable solidarity from their wider community the workers now decided to kick-start production of bicycles in self-management. To be able to do so however they need a guaranteed number of 1800 orders in advance for their 'city-bike'. These orders need to be in by 2nd of October. read full story / add a comment

Anyone going down to RTE news today will see how they've put a little "interactive" twist on the news that a flight from Lisbon almost crashed in Santry. A thumbnail picture accompanies the story http://www.rte.ie/news/2007/0919/air.html of the hotel which is reported as being a 16 storey building at Santry Cross at night with the caption "you be the judge". Then you get to see another picture of the building during the day. Cool. You be the judge. Relax now. You are presently at the controls of a DC 9-83 passenger jet with 4 other crew members and 112 passengers slowing down on your cruise speed of (504 mph, 811 km/h) beginning a standard descent of no more than 2% declination. Feel good? Confident? Skittish? Not worrying about the 72,600 kg weight you could wallop? Now do those lights which look like an airstrip on the big hotel just in front of hte airstrip confuse you?? read full story / add a comment

The Youtube video link below shows a student being arrested and tazered for asking John Kerry, among other things, why he conceded the presidential election when he allegedly would have known it was rigged. The student was doing nothing other than asking questions which Kerry did not want to answer. He was not violent in any way, nevertheless he was bundled off by security men in front of a large audience not one of whom responded to his cries for help - despite having been clapped by a number of them just moments earlier. He was handcuffed and then tazered while completely defenceless. The only apparent attempt to help him on the video is the sound of a lone woman screaming at the police to stop what they were doing. read full story / add a comment

An object thought to be a meteorite landed Saturday last at 16º24'12"S, 69º2'59"W just on the Peruvian border with Bolivia. It left a crater 6 meters (19 feet) deep and 30 meters (98 feet) wide. Since then both locals and police who were sent to investigate claims of a mystery sickness have been hospitalised. All indications are of radiation poisoning. & the appropriate authorities of scientists have taken samples and closed the area. Very rational & "move along there - nothing to see" stuff, most people will agree. But the global media heard of it. & now the Peruvian health ministry has made a statement on the general lines that the Andean state is not being invaded by cosmic inter-plantery bugs or viruses. So I thought I'd let you know. read full story / add a comment

Yesterday a student of general "leftiness" tried to squeeze a ranting bit of information & polemic into a question being put to US senator John Kerry during a student debate in Florida University. Nothing he said was particularly revolutionary despite his obvious passion. He affirmed the belief that Greg Pallast is a good bloke, Kerry had really won the 2004 election, GW Bush gets blowjobs, 911 is upsetting and then just as the good senator had asked him to get to the point and ask the question, the young man uttered the word "impeachment" & then got carried to the back of the room and tasered by the university security guards.the website of Taser international offers a t-shirt with the slogan "so...... you weren't doing anything - let's go to the video!". That's exactly where we going dear readers. read full story / add a comment
