In case you haven't already heard, Ward Churchill has been attacked by the American national media, and others, for an essay he wrote on September 11th a few years ago. He's received threats to his job, as well as his to his life. Most recently, swastikas were painted on his truck while it sat outside his home. good site:

It raises central elements of censorship and free speech. He is also not the only American academic under attack by right wing groups.

Apologies for the length of this, but I feel, given the serious and worsening situation in the health service that the following motion below should be forwarded as an Emergency motion re the health service emergency for Union AGMs (Annual General Meetings) and ADCs (Annual Delegate Conferences), most of which are happening around this time, so that we, the workers, who do have the clout, can really up the ante on this government to properly fund our health service, instead of wasting money on such things as exclusive golf courses, and increased military spending!

Here follows the complete text of the 43rd President of the USA "state of the Union" address to the institutions of government of the emergent democracy of the North America.

It is important and of Irish interest for several reasons, which can be summarised thusly-

the USA is an important trade partner of the EU and Ireland. We do a lot of business with them.
Most of the citizens of the USA speak a dialect of English which we can readily misunderstand.

(It is rumoured on Opus Dei websites [subscription only] that the USA has since the end of the last really really big European war been subject to a power struggle between "corporations" (who own the news and best sneaker brands and make cars) & a sinister group of hooded tattooed basque speakers known as "bonesmen".) read full story / add a comment

The United Nations took another step in its long road to irrelevancy on January 31 with a report announcing that the Sudanese government was not conducting a genocidal campaign in the Darfur region. It agreed that there were indeed mass killings of civilians, torture, rape, pillaging, possible war crimes and perhaps crimes against humanity, but there was no evidence of genocide. read full story / add a comment

Never before in modern history has the sensibility of the population been so anaesthetised. And never before will such a high price be extracted for the failure to reign in nefarious groups that have taken control of the major institutions of power.

While we brood in self-involved distraction, our options are being slowly but effectively eroded and our hard-won liberties are being curtailed. Yet where is the reactive response to these occurrences? With the exception of the people of conscience, inertia and apathy has permeated the majority. read full story / add a comment

Well I decided to call Ryanair to make a complaint about the way they were insulting Che Geuvara by putting berties face on him. I rang their head office in Dublin. It was Sunday just gone. There was a message recorded which I listened to. It gave me a number to call to deal with a human. I'll put the exact numbers here later. I was informed this would cost 1.75 in euro from ROI or 1 pound from the UK to call. The message clearly stated (as I noted a little later) that the number was for an irish office. read full story / add a comment

Throughout human history people have sought (or accepted) leadership in one form or another. Whether the subservient mentality manifests as identification to a pre-existing belief system or the need to follow another human being – the result is subjection. Forfeiting one’s sovereignty in either or both cases relegates the subscriber to subservience. Anthropologists and sociologists accept this behaviour as a fundamental aspect of human society and an essential element in the formation of ‘civilised’ societies. This particular worldview is now taken as a given social reality. read full story / add a comment
