''The military is also impeding the flow of aid. They’ve commandeered a hanger at the Banda Aceh airport, where they are taking control of internationally shipped in supplies. We just got a report this afternoon that the distribution of supplies is being done in some towns and villages only to people who hold the ‘red and white,’ which is a special ID card issued to Acehnese by the Indonesian police. You have to go to a police station to get one of these ID cards, and it is only issued to people who the police certify as not being opponents of the army, not being critics of the government. Of course many people are afraid to go and apply for such a card.'' read full story / add a comment

News Special: Dublin's Doomsday plan (released this week under the thirty year rule by Department of justice and Home Office)
The year 1974 was one of the most tumultuous of the Troubles. The power-sharing executive took office in January - only to be toppled by the Ulster Workers' Council strike five months later, and 303 people were murdered, including 206 civilians. Just-released Irish state papers reveal how the Republic's government considered 'Doomsday' plans to recruit 100,000 troops in case British withdrawal prompted widespread civil war in Ulster. read full story / add a comment

In August 1984 the Dublin Governments Minister for Justice gave the oration at Beal na nBlath at the site where Michael Collins was killed by anti-treaty IRA men. Noonan told the crowd that they should follow Michael Collins as an example (I'm not sure if many of you are into selling out your country, but whatever floats your boat I suppose).

During this speech he was also rebutting the legitimacy of the Provisional IRA however the question has to be asked, whats the difference? Many people claim the 'Old IRA' and the PIRA are completly different and chastise the PIRA at every chance you get and glorify the Old IRA when it suits. It is time for a reality check.

Well lets look at Collins, the perfect example. read full story / add a comment
