Anarchists engage in direct action as opposed to voting. This anti-electoralism (or anti-parliamentarianism) may seem strange and even perverse to many. After all, virtually the whole left believes in the importance of voting. In the US, liberals and state socialists have voted for the Democrats with a steadfastness that is almost religious, even as the Democrats have steadily moved to the right. In Western Europe, they have voted consistently for the Socialist or Labor Parties (social democrats), or Communist Parties, or, more recently, ex-Communist Parties. As a reward, in 1997, 12 out of the 15 members of the European Union were governed by left parties--including Britain, France, and Germany--or by coalitions with left parties in them. In the words of the old British Labor Party hymn, did they build a New Jerusalem? Was Europe on the verge of a new age of equality and justice?

For 33 years I have been trying to clear my name. I have been publicly labelled a terrorist. The Irish Army refuses to release my files from 1969. After my family, led by my 83 year old mum, held a press conference recently the Minister for Defence announced that he would release my files: to my original tormentors, the Army. Not to me or my lawyers. Irish way and Irish laws are very secretive I fear. Please help me get Justice to be seen to be done!!! read full story / add a comment

The accommodation of the wishes of terrorists has been an over-riding doctrine within Irish political life. For seventy years, Europe's most vicious and deadly terrorist group, the IRA, operated with absolute impunity from the soil of the Irish Republic. Not only did it launch a campaign of genocide against the people of Northern Ireland from the Republic, but there are disturbing accusations of the Irish State colluding in many brutal murders committed within Northern Ireland. read full story / add a comment

40 members of the banned Basque youth movement Segi are in Dublin tomorrow (Saturday). They will be holding a protest outside the Spanish embassy tomorrow at 2pm. Tomorrow night, there will be a function (Of sorts) in Conways. Due to a fuck-up at Conways' end they double-booked the function room so the 'function' will take place in a reserved space downstairs. You can't miss 40 Basques anyway. All are welcome to attend both the protest and the social. The Spanish government, using Septemebr 11th as their excuse have been cracking down on the Basque Independence and Socialism Movement. Show your support. Further details can be obtained by calling my number. read full story / add a comment

http://www.RePortersNoteBook.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Below is a "copy" in its entirety of a very important letter to the New York Times from Jewish intellectuals including Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, and Sidney Hook that appeared on December 4, 1948 While it is quoted from in brief on several web sites, it appears nowhere in its entirety, and it deserves to be disseminated as it originally appears. read full story / add a comment

Fr. Daniel Berrigan SJ will be speaking at the Royal Dublin Hotel 7.30 p.m., O'Connell St. on Wednesday August 14th. 7.30 p.m. For going on half a century Philip and Daniel Berrigan have been a prophetic thorn in the side of political, military and church elites in the United States. Their nonviolent militant insistence on the sanctity of human life and the criminality of modern warfare has been non-negotiable. read full story / add a comment

As on every other day since September 2001, on Thursday 25 July a group of peace activists found the civilian airport at Shannon contaminated by military troops and cargo. Clearly though Aer Rianta haven't been spending their US military blood money on security, as the airport's protection measures against responsible citizens and terrorists alike are pathetic. read full story / add a comment

57 Million people in the EU are living below the poverty line 8 percent of EU citizens live in poverty 23% of those in poverty are children The Irish people have already voted NO to the Nice Treaty. This was despite all the propaganda of the government, big business, church, farm and trade union leaders. It was the only democratic vote allowed in the whole of the 15 country EU. Yet instead of listening to the voice of the people, the bureaucrats and politicians of Europe want us to vote again. And the Irish government are doing their bidding. It makes a mockery of democracy. Vote NO! read full story / add a comment

Thursday afternoon,1st august 2002. The incident occurred on Liffey St in Dublin opposite the entrance to Marks and Spencers. Two female garda were questioning a teenage boy who was playing the accordion on the street. The female officers were joined by what I presumed were plain-clothes officers. The boy was a non-national and clearly had difficulty understanding the officers questions. The officers proceeded to mock the boy when he couldn’t spell his name and one of the female garda began to comment on the boys weight. As the boy began visible more distressed one of the female garda said and I quote. “ Tell me your fucking name or I will send you back to Romania or Transylvania or wherever the fuck you come from” To say this sight was shocking is an understatement. In the end the officers told the boy to go away and then proceeded to laugh about read full story / add a comment |
