Looks like something big might happen after all on Friday. Although I dont drive, and don't want to drive for a number of reasons, including environmental and safety ones, I confess that I often surf the AA Roadwatch Website, because traffic effects us all, including for those of us who use Public Transport. Also sometimes this is often the first place where you see news of upcoming Demos and Protests. It was for this reason that I logged onto their Website this evening to see if they had any news of this Friday's Nationwide half-day Work Stoppage. Now they have no news of the many and varied Protest Actions taking place across the country, but this piece below in their Rail News section caught my eye. I've heard that groups of ESB, Bus Eireann, An Post, and Dublin Bus Workers, amongst others are also planning to walk off the job. read full story / add a comment

For those of you who don't know about MOVE, I suggest you check out their website at http://moveorg.net/ MOVE's history is amazing, shocking and inspirational. Just last week they lost another one of their members to what looks like a police set up. You may be aware of the case of MUMIA, who is a prisioner of conscience associated to MOVE. Looking at MOVE, we can see how radical theories and organising are much needed - but also how far the authorities will go to suppress them. In these days of U.S hegemony (and Irish govt. compliance), we might do well to take note. also, http://www.eco-action.org/dt/onamove.html http://www.iacenter.org/moveact.htm http://moveorg.net/ read full story / add a comment

This puts it all in perspective, I had to laugh. A Zimbabwe politician was quoted as saying that children should study the US election event closely because it shows that election fraud is not only a third world phenomena http://forumireland.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=69 read full story / add a comment

One of the most promising hopes for the future (for challenging systemic state corruption) that I have come across during the past four years or so concerns a media organisation named Indymedia - which provides ordinary individuals with the opportunity to publish their "news and views" globally: and instantly (more or less) - thereby removing control from those who dominate (and manipulate!!!) the flow of information at present. Provided the new freedoms which this organisation offers are not abused too much by those who are that way naturally inclined (and/or otherwise motivated), it seems to me that Indymedia has enormous potential for combating the corruption problem. Further information regarding Indymedia (which is possibly just one of several such Internet organisations now in operation) can be found at the following www page address: http://homepage.eircom.net/~williamfinnerty/news/moreover/Default.htm read full story / add a comment

A chickenhawk is a term often applied to public persons - generally male - who (1) tend to advocate, or are fervent supporters of those who advocate, military solutions to political problems, and who have personally (2) declined to take advantage of a significant opportunity to serve in uniform during wartime. read full story / add a comment |
