Is the Hague court a joke or have we just lost our sense of perspective? The latest indiscriminate slaughter of children and innocent civilians in Lebanon by ‘God’s chosen’ seems not to warrant the attention of the Hague court. Carla Del Ponte’s latest remonstration against the Serbian leadership for not delivering war criminals to her court seems ‘slightly’ dissociative in view of recent events. Her obsession with Serbs now borders on the pathological. Would the civilian death toll in Iraq warrant her attention? Iraq now approaches one hundred thousand innocent civilian deaths – eighty percent directly attributable to the forces of occupation! read full story / add a comment

On the 30th of July over 2 million people closed down the centre of Mexico City. Their demand: A fair vote by vote recount of July 2nd's Presidential Elections which they believe have been stolen by the governing PAN (National Action Party). Since then protestors have remained camping on the motorways and on the streets amidst the skyscrapers. The International Media have remained very quiet on the issues. Please read and feel free to contact me. This article was written on the 10th of August. Fiachra read full story / add a comment

Images are printable from the Fianna fail Website Gallery. http://www.fiannafail.ie/ Harold's Cross has been lacking a post-office since the post-master died of a heart attack (RIP), whilst at the other end of the ward, a one-stop client shop for political bring and buy was opened just past La Touche Bridge. The shop looks like a Spar and Bertie was there to cut the ribbon and a bevy of tanned blondes in hats accompanied the opening cermemonies. Meanwhile pensioners and single mothers have to await the appointment of a new post-master or travel to alternate locations to get the services once provided by the State. read full story / add a comment

"There’s, as you've reported, no sign that the people had plane tickets. It's very difficult to bomb a plane without a plane ticket, no sign that they’d actually made any bombs yet. And the evidence is that these people had been under surveillance for quite a long time by the British Security Services, who hadn't seen any need of the early arrests ... read full story / add a comment

Most people are familiar with the popular tales of the half-dead venomous snake that bit the man who saved its life and the scorpion that stung the frog that ferried it (on its back) away from floodwaters that threatened to drown it. Both stories share a similar moral; the beast remains true to its nature regardless of noble, humanitarian, mitigating factors – serpents will always strike and scorpions will always sting, regardless! read full story / add a comment

There were some disturbing reports circulating on the net last year from the Workers Communist Party of Iraq on attacks on women by political Islamists. Now it seems in Baghdad Islamists are deepening their imposition of social morals on women. Anyone who has ever read Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, with its account of the slow disintegration of female autonomy in Iran will notice the striking similarity with the blog account below. Its by an Iraqi woman and is an award winning blog.. read full story / add a comment

FAILURE is emblazoned on the foreheads of all those involved. The VICTORY of the day is for PEACE and there is nothing any power, state, or group could do to prevent the (future) peaceful intentions of the people. Human civilisation and the blood of innocents demand it! read full story / add a comment
