As the the Bush administration escalates it's war on the poor ,nonviolent resistance grows amongst the U.S. civilian population and within the U.S. military. Any serious movement that challenges power will have it's prisoners. Prison is designed to isolate, demoralise and crush the resister. A smple way to counter such isolation is sending a letter or postcard to peace prisoners in military brigs, county jails and federal pens. From personal experience I can assure you that getting such correspondence from Ireland when your living in a cage or cell lifts morale, makes it safer with the guards and is big hit fellow prisoners (especially stamp collecters!). If you're going to write a letter against the war - makeit to a peace prisoner rather than a politician! read full story / add a comment

At 9:15 this morning, as I was walking on O'Connell street, I noticed a gathering of people (70/130) at the Spire, all wearing the same bib with the Gama logo on the back, and a construction helmet. After the first few "I don't speak English" responses, I was directed towards a man with a mobile. He explained the crowd were workers from Gama, a Turkish corporation, contracting the workers for wages of 2 to 3 Euro per hour. The workers had walked out en masse this morning. read full story / add a comment

SOCIALIST FORUM Rwanda, Genocide and the West Speaker: Willie Cummings Location: Red Parrot Pub, Dorset Street, North Dublin Time 8.30pm Monday 4, April With the recent release of the film Hotel Rwanda there has been renewed interest in the genocide that took place in the African country over a decade ago. This meeting will look into the issues that arise from this and actions taken by the West. The speaker has experience of Rwanda. In the second quarter of 1994, while much of the world was gearing up to the World Cup to be held in Los Angeles, one of history’s deadliest wholesale slaughters of human beings was taking place in Central Africa. Following the death of Rwanda’s President the Hutu powers-that-be decided it was time to eliminate the Tutsi minority who were blamed for the crash. What followed in the next three months was an orgy of hackings and shootings throughout the country of 7.6 million people that left more than 800,000 dead. All Weclome read full story / add a comment

It’s now official, but do these admissions carry even a vestige of credibility? The US administration recently announced that it was grossly in error regarding internal intelligence assessments of the existence of WMDs in Iraq. Someone forgot to inform neo-con PR that the ‘bull’ has already wrecked the China shop. read full story / add a comment
