One target is Iran’s main centrifuge plant, at Natanz, nearly two hundred miles south of Tehran.

Hello from Guatemala. I am forwarding the article written by Sandra, she contacted me recently during my stay in Guatemala. If any of you took part of the presentation of the book "Fumigation: the human and environmental costs of chemical warfare in Colombia" last October in Trinity the following article will make sense.
I have seen the mentioned plantations in San Marcos and i believe that the the propossal fumigations here is going to finish with the farmers livelihoods and other plantations. I have been following close the case of the Mining company and there is a great video for anybody in Ireland interested to watch about the consultation propossed by the Indigenous people about the mining.

A press release issued by UCD Alliance for Choice on Friday hasbeen repeatedly deleted by UCDSUs editorial group. Like indymedia, UCDSUs news wire uses the oscailt program. Unlike Indymedia however despite stating that :

"A record of all editorial actions, which editor performed the action and the reason for it are sent the editorial email list which anybody can join. So if you want to keep an eye on the evil censorships of the UCD SU-cabal, you know what to do. Subscribing to this list means you will see all articles and comments which have been hidden and the reason why they were hidden. After subscribing, you can then go through the archives of the list to see all past editorial actions"

UCDSU operates no such system. There is no open, transparent accountable editorial list. The previous UCDSU administration has used an editorial e-mail list. The current SU president is a member of Ogra Fianna Fail. read full story / add a comment

The very American travelling circus that is tent religion matured and found expression in the mass ‘conversions’ (come on down and be saved style) of Billy Graham, demagogue and showman, the forerunner of today’s Evangelicals. Plastic religion for a plastic society, Graham invented ‘Kentucky fried religion’, a fast consumable product that was accessible to the masses, requiring nothing but gleefully running to the stage and in spectacular fashion being ‘saved’ by Billy or one of his many imitators. Modern Evangelicalism was born, long arduous hours of meditation and prayer in the pursuit of Deity was a thing of the medieval past. read full story / add a comment
