All wars have one common thing, war is not something you buy from store, it is something that grows in the nature we call capitalism and it is also a terrible tragedy to humankind and we cannot achieve peace without giving the necessary sacrifice building our anti-capitalist movement by saying no to guns and violence that keeps this world turning around and around like a hurricane that destroys all it can touch without leaving people noithing or verry little to say at least. read full story / add a comment

Several polls have shown that a solid majority of Irish people oppose the occupation of Iraq by the United States and oppose the use of Shannon airport by the US military. Over 100,000 Irish people protested against this war in February 2003 in Dublin, and Irish people are even more opposed to it now. It is obvious that with a little organization and planning an enormous protest of Bush's visit to Ireland could be made, involving as many as 200,000 Irish people. This would have a significant impact on Irish and US policy, on the coming US election and on the continuation of the war in Iraq.

How can this protest be avoided? How can Irish people be persuaded to stay home? How can we ensure that any action is as ineffectual and minimal as possible? read full story / add a comment

Corporate media reports often hide as much as they reveal. (Just what were those pesky protestors so angry about anyway?)

We might expect better from the independent or left media. Sometimes we get better and sometimes we don't. Indymedia itself contains some of the best and worst elements of non-corporate news sources. In this report I decided to look at what lies behind a story contained in the latest issue of a left paper. read full story / add a comment
