Take an anonymous Pentagon leak from a “high level military officer,” add an appalling lack of knowledge of history, and compound it with ignorance of special warfare tactics. This process describes the article published by Newsweek breathlessly revealing that a “desperate” Defense Secretary Rumsfeld is “considering” employing the “Salvadoran option” to thwart the “growing quagmire” of the Iraq War. read full story / add a comment

Dublin Social Forum (DSF) Working Group minutes from post October 2004 ISF and December meetings. NEXT MEETING: 7.00 to 8.30 p.m., Thursday 13th January 2005, in the Comhlámh offices, 10 Upper Camden St., Dublin 2. In general it was agreed that the October 2004 ISF was actually more of a DSF. That is to say that the groups, organisations, collectives and individuals that participated and did the background preparatory work were primarily Dublin-based and were not in fact reflective of the global justice movement / anti-neoliberal forces on the island as a whole. In light of this and in conjunction with the learning experience a number of us had in Workshops with Local Social Forums from around Europe during the European Social Forum (ESF) in London last October, we decided to bring the focus down to a more local, Dublin-based level. read full story / add a comment

A lawyer acting for two of the Britons told Reuters all the British detainees would be released within weeks. "The Foreign Office has confirmed to me that the four of them will be coming back within the next few weeks," human rights lawyer Louise Christian said. read full story / add a comment

As in every country around the world, in Sri Lanka the people have reacted far more quickly than their government. It is an excellent opportunity for the masses to work together and to realise that co-existing and cooperation are possible and to experience them. Unfortunately, the authorities are not using this opportunity to forge unity, but the opposite. Article from socialistworld.net read full story / add a comment

The decision by the Bloody Sunday tribunal to jail the man known as ‘PIRA 9’ exposes British hypocrisy in regards to the real victims of that day and shows that little has changed in the mindset of the British establishment. ‘PIRA 9’ who is due to begin a 3-month sentence today is charged with refusing to testify to the tribunal. read full story / add a comment

Abu Mazen has been elected with a clear mandate to lead the Palestinian people, in full and fair elections a bit like the ones you get for school classroom which you're supposed to do around 14-16 years old, except President Jimmy Carter generally doesn't observe them.

Ideas and Ideologies – Davy Carlin 10/01/05 For, The Blanket, Indy media and Street Seen As an activist I have been involved in many campaigns over the last few years. From Anti Sectarianism, to Anti War, Anti Globalisation, to Anti Racism, Anti Privatisation to Anti Poverty and in each I have witnessed various movements, some mass, others less so. Nevertheless within each of them I had both seen and played an active part with others in initiating the coming together of not only peoples, Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter but of diverse organisations, groups and individual activists. Yet with all of these having been termed as being ‘Anti’ and against, what exactly then are we for. read full story / add a comment

The Association of Hunt Saboteurs last night received a telephone call from a spokesperson representing the Animal Liberation Front in Ireland. The Animal Liberation Front is a direct action animal rights group. The spokesperson was informing us that an Animal Liberation Front unit has attacked the hare-coursing venue, Powerstown Park Racecourse, Clonmel Co.Tipperary on Saturday night - 8/01/05. In a two-hour operation, ALF members spread nails and tacks on the hare-coursing field of the racecourse and at the entrance to the venue. A number of incendiary devices were also placed around the racecourse. The ALF spokesperson said the further attacks were planned on this venue in the run up to the National Hare Coursing Finals to be held in late January early February 2005. The spokesperson said that war had been declared on animal abusers in Ireland. read full story / add a comment |
