4.00pm - Anarchism, the State and Justice
Can justice really be achieved if we get someone else to do it on our behalf – a lawyer, an NGO, a priest or a political leader? Are the means we use to achieve social justice as important as achieving social justice itself? And how important are the different political philosophies – reformism, nationalism, republicanism, and socialism - in getting to our goals? From the same tradition that inspired Emma Goldman, Mahatma Gandhi, Noam Chomsky, and Leo Tolstoy, the Workers Solidarity Movement set out the case for Anarchism. read full story / add a comment

US ‘intelligence’ agencies now realise the ‘Bin Laden’ tape has been a huge flop and the effect has been the reverse of that anticipated. It has also proven to be a monumental liability as people around the globe are now questioning the veracity of all allegations relating to Bin Laden and Al Qaeda; Howard and Blair beware, even the Arabs are questioning their ideological base. Well done Semitic ideologues, neo-cons and Straussians. External attacks are unnecessary, you are doing an excellent job on yourselves – no help needed or wanted! read full story / add a comment

Tariq Ali

Tariq has been a significant figure in progressive politics since the
sixties. His website is
http://www.tariqali.org/
I found some difficulty getting into this, so bear with it.

He is visiting Dublin on Feb 15 for a PANA sponsored meeting. The meeting
will be in the ATGWU hall in Middle Abbey Street. The meeting will start
at 7-00 sharp (the hall closes at 9-30).
If any media people wish to interview Tariq there is a window of
opportunity before the meeting. (Please contact Roger Cole on this.)I will
pass on any requests to Roger.
It is critical that this meeting is successful. Dublin is doing well in
attracting alternative voices such as Noam Chomsky and Tariq.


Please pass the word along to any of your contact lists.

The case resumes at eleven o clock ,in court
eleven on Tuesday morning.
The response to Meath County Council, the
NRA and the State continues.
Thank you to the campaigners, activists,
heritage group reps and historians who
have sat in court with us everyday.
The lack of opposition spokespeople is noted.
The case has been long and sometimes
the risible claims of the oppostion
have entertained everyone, I think the
intention was to bore us to death ,in one
particular case.
I have not been able to report here due
to constant interference with my line and the
loss of my regular e-mail address at
[email protected]
If you can attend , please do.
A meeting to discuss the legal case and
other actions will be posted soon.
