With an absolute rejection of the State socialist left, of hierarchical organisation and reformism, we call for a pro-active militant response to the July G8 meeting in Scotland, UK 2005. Refusing to conform to the agenda of the G8, we aim for a resurgence of committed radical activity against the State and Capital, everyday, all the time. Stressing decentralisation, and flexibility, we reiterate the fragile nature of the capitalist system, of the great precariousness of an economic system which is attacking workers, the unemployed, women, and the environment. Exploiting dwindling natural resources, the system is burning up the world in poverty, war, and ecological collapse. read full story / add a comment

This Friday, 17 June 2005, in Dail Eireann there is a special session scheduled for 'Statements on the Morris Tribunal' from 10:30am - 13:30pm.

To further expose this scandal and the politico/legal Cover-Up now in full swing, the extended McBrearty family from Donegal (the targets of the vicious frame-up on Murder charges by Gardai) will be attending this hearing and they'll have a few words for people both inside and outside Leinster House.

So come along to learn what the media refuses to touch about this unfolding scandal, and lend your voice and presence on this historic occasion! We assemble at 10am at the Kildare Street entrance to Dail Eireann.

Also please spread the word out to anybody who can contribute and blitz the Media to cover this. The attached flyer is being distroed today in Dublin, if a few people would like to urgently lend a hand it would be much appreciated. Sorry for the short notice + Thanks, BP read full story / add a comment

By ANDREW TAYLOR, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - In a slap at President Bush, lawmakers voted Wednesday to block the Justice Department and the FBI from using the Patriot Act to peek at library records and bookstore sales slips.

The House voted 238-187 despite a veto threat from Bush to block the part of the anti-terrorism law that allows the government to investigate the reading habits of terror suspects. read full story / add a comment

dublin / bin tax / household tax / water tax / news report Wednesday June 15, 2005 18:30 by Bin Man   text 1 comment (last - thursday june 16, 2005 16:30)
Dublin City Council were given leave by Dublin Circuit Court to test the validity of Bin Charges in the Supreme Court. This throws the whole issue into the air again. The Council will not be able to bring any more non-payers to court until the case is heard, which may take up to a year. It also means that it will be very difficult for the Council to implement non-collection (which still has'nt happened in most parts of Dublin, despite all the huffing and puffing by the Council)given the question mark over the arrears.

It can be most interesting to look into how the various parties on the left are dictated to from above. In the first of a series of reports Masters Voice gives you the reader an opportunity to examine at first hand the dictates of the SWP leadership in London. As these dictates are not readily available to those outside the SWP inner circle here or those as Harman would describe footsoldiers I give you the first installment. read full story / add a comment
