There has never been an instance in recorded history when a nation that achieved military superiority did not attempt to dominate other nations. This is the inevitable result of gaining a strategic or technological ‘advantage.’ In view of the historical record, is it unusual that America would abandon its founding principles in favour of despotism and the pursuit of world domination? The path the US has taken is not new; it is a tired well-worn path that leads to certain destruction. read full story / add a comment

The Lebanon is familiar to many Irish, the former French posession saw the Irish army serve with the United Nations in peace keeping operations throughout the late XX century. In that time, one man came to epitomise Lebanese politics and further became the richest man in the state. Rafik al Hariri was assasinated in a car bomb on St Valentine's day 2005. read full story / add a comment

dublin / anti-capitalism / event notice Wednesday February 16, 2005 03:38 by Anthony G
The film follows two anti-corporate activist-pranksters as they impersonate World Trade Organization spokesmen on TV and at business conferences. After launching a web site http://www.gatt.org/ as a parody of the official WTO site, they find themselves being invited to speak about trade issues at business conferences around the world. They use these opportunities to lampoon neo-liberal ideology by taking the ideas to extreme conclusions which make no sense from a "common-sense" perspective. They advocate a market in human rights abuses and say that democracy should also be turned into a free market by auctioning off votes to the highest bidder. Finding that their ideas are taken seriously rather than being dismissed out of hand, they come up with even more shocking ideas and absurd antics. read full story / add a comment

the Mc Libel duo are two of the most significant activists in the development of a movement which grew from a little cupboard office to a global assault on the politics and economics of trans-national malnutrition, exploitation, disregard for the environment, labour abuses, greed and corporate negligence and deceit which was best represented in the 1980s by the Mc Donalds food corp amongst others. read full story / add a comment

Demonstration at Binn's Bridge (Junction Dorset Street/Whitworth Road) Followed by the handing-in of a letter of protest at Bertie Ahern's Clinic at 161 Lr. Drumcondra Road. 5.30 pm, Tuesday, 15 February 2005 Join us on the second anniversary of the world's largest day of protest on February 15, 2003 when over 100,000 people demonstrated in Dublin against the invasion of Iraq. Everything we said then has been proven correct. Tens of thousands of people have lost their lives in a war for oil, profit and empire. In 2003 Bertie Ahern called himself 'anti-war' but in the intervening two years his actions in supporting the US war against the Iraqi people have given the lie to that empty assertion. End the occupation of Iraq! U.S. military out of Shannon! read full story / add a comment

in 1917 on May 13th some shepherd children reported that the BVM had appeared to them. And told them some secrets. 1- the end of the first war. 2- the conversion of Russia. 3- the last one, which dealt with an attack on a man in dressed in white. The last of the Fatima 3, Sister Lucía de Jesús Dos Santos, who lived in a Carmelite convent, died yesterday the 13th of February 2005 at the age of 97. The front pages of the world media showed other things depending on their point of view, is it not so? read full story / add a comment

Once this was a place of great hope. During the late 1980’s, the Sandinistas were consolidating the revolution in Nicaragua, the FMLN were on the brink of overthrowing the government in El Salvador and the radical movements in Guatemala and Honduras were gaining ground. Today it is a region convulsed by massive delinquency and chronic state corruption whose economies are surviving tenuously on remittance money sent by migrants. The defeat of the revolutionary movements has ushered in an era of social disintegration resulting in a veritable neo-liberal dystopia. read full story / add a comment |
