Have you ever been so impressed by a documentary that you’ve recommended it to others? Retired US army colonel Ann Wright did just that on Monday – and was promptly handcuffed for engaging in “seditious” activity. Wright’s trouble began when she set out to attend the court martial of a soldier accused in the Abu Ghraib prison abused scandal. The 29-year army veteran arrived at Fort McNair in Washington, DC, only to learn that the court martial was being held at Fort Meade in Maryland. As she was leaving for Fort Meade, she happened upon some anti-war friends at the Fort McNair’s gate who had some postcards advertising a film called “Yes Sir, No Sir!”, which is about American soldiers’ resistance to the Vietnam War. She’d seen the movie and was very impressed, and she felt others in the military might benefit from catching it during its limited engagement in Washington this week. read full story / add a comment

Last weekend a story broke in the UK, of how a Home office official had offered a speedy asylum process to a Zimbabwean rape victim (18) in return for sex. Many Irish people might have missed this, being concentrated as they were on asylum seekers in St. Patrick's cathedral, and since then Mc dowell's legal disaster which puts our children at risk and has blown the lid on the judicial treatment of underage sex and the questionable sentances handed down. The UK story makes an interesting "compare & contrast". read full story / add a comment

It looks as if we will be able to lead the Catholic Church on a merry dance regarding the 'Rhythm Method'. This method, the only one approved by the Vatican may kill off more embryos than other forms of contraception. Pope Benny will not be well pleased.

The punk band Zounds sang 'subvert, subvert' about anarchists/working class people infiltrating the middle class domain of work, to change and subvert it. MI5/6/Special branch have been doing the same in reverse for decades, placing operatives within working class communities and trade unions in order to destroy and subvert whole communities and organisations. Many of these operatives like Denis Donaldson etc, have blended into and become established within working class commuities for many decades. read full story / add a comment

The Captive Animals Protection Society (CAPS) has today called on the Department of Agriculture to impound the animals currently traveling with Circus Vegas, the Courtney owned outfit which has hit the headlines again following an incident last night on the M50. It is believed that the beast wagon carrying the elephants had a blowout as the circus was in transit between Wicklow and Stepaside. This same beast wagon, again carrying the show’s two elephants, was involved in a fatal accident on the Tuam Road in Galway in April when a mother and her daughter were killed when the wagon became detached from the cabin. read full story / add a comment

One day Bob Dylan poured a bottle of whiskey over his head and walked into a department store pretending to be drunk so that he would get some bad press. He found that being thrust into the role of ‘the conscience of a nation’ encroached on his privacy and interfered with his creativity and he wanted his freedom back. Those involved in political struggle in the USA placed an onerous responsibility on Dylan, demanding of him his talent, his time, his total commitment. Regardless of how he later revised his stance, the early songs which shot him to fame were the work of an artist responding to injustice and oppression and the politics of the day. He was heavily influenced by, of course, Woodie Guthrie, but was also open to the songs of Brecht and Weill as well as Irish rebel music. read full story / add a comment

In the Sunday Independent of May 21st, Gene Kerrigan pointed out that the leaks of the Tribal Secta reports into the health service, which were reported as front page news by the Sunday Independent on several occasions, were misrepresentations of the whole truth. Unfortunately, the editor seems happy to continue the tradition, as evidenced by the front page of the edition in which Kerrigan’s article appeared. read full story / add a comment

Furthermore, theology induces passivity to authority – there is no better method of creating compliance than theology. Who else would quietly accept injustice, various forms of deprivation and huge disparities in the distribution of wealth than those who imagine it is the result of demerit, sin or the will of some God? Many extremely intelligent and capable people become observably handicapped when the subject/spectre of religion rears its illogical, paralysing and fear-inducing head. Never doubt the power that is born of theological indoctrination (child abuse) and the resultant fear that it engenders (usually for life). read full story / add a comment
