the Mc Libel duo are two of the most significant activists in the development of a movement which grew from a little cupboard office to a global assault on the politics and economics of trans-national malnutrition, exploitation, disregard for the environment, labour abuses, greed and corporate negligence and deceit which was best represented in the 1980s by the Mc Donalds food corp amongst others. read full story / add a comment

national / anti-war / imperialism / event notice Monday February 14, 2005 22:56 by Dublin City Antiwar Group
Demonstration at Binn's Bridge
(Junction Dorset Street/Whitworth Road)
Followed by the handing-in of a letter of protest at Bertie Ahern's Clinic at 161 Lr. Drumcondra Road.

5.30 pm, Tuesday, 15 February 2005

Join us on the second anniversary of the world's largest day of protest on February 15, 2003 when over 100,000 people demonstrated in Dublin against the invasion of Iraq.

Everything we said then has been proven correct. Tens of thousands of people have lost their lives in a war for oil, profit and empire. In 2003 Bertie Ahern called himself 'anti-war' but in the intervening two years his actions in supporting the US war against the Iraqi people have given the lie to that empty assertion.

End the occupation of Iraq!

in 1917 on May 13th some shepherd children reported that the BVM had appeared to them.

And told them some secrets.

1- the end of the first war.
2- the conversion of Russia.
3- the last one, which dealt with an attack on a man in dressed in white.

The last of the Fatima 3, Sister Lucía de Jesús Dos Santos, who lived in a Carmelite convent, died yesterday the 13th of February 2005 at the age of 97.

The front pages of the world media showed other things depending on their point of view, is it not so? read full story / add a comment

Once this was a place of great hope. During the late 1980’s, the Sandinistas were consolidating the revolution in Nicaragua, the FMLN were on the brink of overthrowing the government in El Salvador and the radical movements in Guatemala and Honduras were gaining ground. Today it is a region convulsed by massive delinquency and chronic state corruption whose economies are surviving tenuously on remittance money sent by migrants. The defeat of the revolutionary movements has ushered in an era of social disintegration resulting in a veritable neo-liberal dystopia. read full story / add a comment

What is the best way for progress in Northern Ireland? Do you think Northern Ireland should become fully independent as a self-governing country? Should it drop its UK status and fully merge with and become part of the Republic of Ireland, without borders? Or should it continue as part of the UK with its own parliamentary Assembly?

'Restorative Justice - Healing the Effects of Crime'
Written by Jim Consedine
'The Celtic Tradition: Repairing the Damage'
It then reads: Fivefold are Crimes
* the crime of the hand by wounding or stealing
* the crime of the foot, by kicking or moving to do evil deeds
* the crime of the tongue, by satire, Slander and False Witness
*crime of the mouth, by eating stolen things
*the crime of the eye, by watching while an evil deed is taking place

Brehon Law existed in Ireland until the final Tudor conquest in 1500.
The Irish had their own form of Criminal Justice System. The Brehon laws was based on its own form of restorative justice. These laws were replaced with the harsh retributive system of the coloniser!

Now......From Behon to a faltering Irish Peace Process.....Can we learn anything? read full story / add a comment
