Reclaim our Media III (and following on from thread at http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=70101&search_text=velo%20city


As the printing press faciliitated the Reformation, ‘Informaation Technology’ and open publishing are enabling a progression of the trend away from authoritarian structures and the mass-illusion of powerlessness.

Indyradio is an attempt to combine community radio and indymedia, and its implications for everyday listening and understanding are potentially amazing. read full story / add a comment

Following a week of mixed signals from the US Administration about the future of
the Guantánamo Bay detention camp, Amnesty International said that the
Administration's announcement that it is to expand the prison is the wrong
decision and will fuel worldwide concern over the stories of torture and
ill-treatment, religious humiliation and arbitrary detention that are seeping
from the facility. read full story / add a comment

Who has the best chance of forming the correct opinions about management in the police or in the health "service"? Is it the tub-thumping, opinionated politician with a big mouth and deaf ears? Has the individual worker a smaller brain or a less important personal life than "Mr Big" in the Health Service Executive (HSE)? read full story / add a comment

Collectively as Councillors it is agreed that an Anti-Social Policy must be in place, however, its interpretation, implementation, procedural frame work and most importantly, its legality must be analysed. I have previously called it "draconian" in the extreme and in need of alteration. I reiterate this. read full story / add a comment

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.

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 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.
