President Trump compared Keir Starmer's UK to Communist China after the Government ordered Apple to give it backdoor access to users' encrypted data. This isn't far-fetched, says Frederick Attenborough: it exposes us all.

If European states don't want to be treated as enemies of the US they're going to have to retreat from the war they've been waging on behalf of Washington's old regime and disarm their censorship machines, says N S Lyons.

offsite link A Diplomatic Dust-Up for the Ages Wed Mar 05, 2025 09:00 | Ramesh Thakur
Trump's art of the deal always has been to ask for everything, judge the point at which the other party has made his final offer and then take what he can get, says Ramesh Thakur. That's what he's doing with Ukraine.

Today's Sunday Independent carries two advertisements seeking to recruit Irish people to work as Sales Representatives for a company, apparently called 'Exchange', whose sole function is to sell cars, motorbikes and utility vehicles to US military personnel serving abroad. These particular adverts are looking for people to service the US war machine in Iraq, Kuwait and the Middle East in general. Those employed will be based on US military facilities in Iraq and Kuwait.

Prospective applicants are directed to a website, which carries the company motto:

'The only overseas car-buying program created by the [US] military, for the military'.

It is a disgrace that an Irish newspaper is carrying advertisements recruiting civilians to service the US war machine in Iraq. Those who consider applying should bear in mind that they will be viewed in Iraq as servants of the US military and their lives will be at grave risk. Holding Irish citizenship will make no difference. read full story / add a comment

Gone are the days of a fair fight and a ‘just’ war – whatever that insane expression is supposed to mean – today we have the actions of the ‘might is right’ ideology of barbarism. This ‘new’ primitivism is evident in the actions of Zionist Israel and the Zionist influenced USA. Today’s wars are the most inglorious wars in human history. How proud we should be of our achievements when we allow idiotic differences and greed to escalate into bloodshed. What a ‘noble’ race of ‘civilised’ humans we are! View this planet as a visitor and be thoroughly appalled. read full story / add a comment

This article provides some background to the terrible events at Daechuri, and the neighbouring village of Doduri, where the South Korean state is using powers equivalent to the Irish Compulsory Purchase Order to clear the local farmers off their ancestral lands for a proposed expansion of the existing Camp Humphreys military facility, previously a Japanese military base. The farmers have been moved off their lands with extreme brutality, and the village is now surrounded by thousands of troops and police, villagers have been served with eviction notices and the area is enclosed by barbed wire. Protest by letter and e-mail to the South Korean Embassy: 15 Clyde Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, Ireland.

This week sees the release of Green Nation: the Irish Environmental Movement from Carnsore Point to the Rossport 5 by Dr Liam Leonard of NUIG. The book places Irish environmental campaigns in the context of a populist 'rural sentiment' which communities under threat from infrastructural projects draw on to mobilise territorial dissent. read full story / add a comment

Balseskin Reception Centre is a 380 bed accomodation centre for asylum seekers and their families in Finglas, north Dublin. It was purpose built some 5 years ago and has a well functioning medical unit, providing specialist health screening and medical care to the residents of the centre. However the centre is to be closed on ministerial orders, at short notice (next Friday) and without any consultation with staff in the HSE and the RIA (Reception and Integration Agency, Dept. of Justice). The 260 residents of the centre now have to be housed elsewhere. This will inevitably cause a disruption in medical care and infectious disease surveillance as no other specialist service for asylum seekers is available in Dublin city. read full story / add a comment
