It has been long observed that people for some reason on their non-banking days readily absorb shite about Dangerous Places, Famous People, Sensible Saving Options, Holidays, Interesting facts, Sport results, Media, gardening and health as well looking ahead at “democratic evolution” and looking back at "how history was made".

Very special & very short edition this one, if you're reading this in Ireland or are one of the Irish Diasporia -

Congratulations!

You are now one of the Establishment, in the period from the 23rd of May to the 2nd of June all the Irish people joined ranks & played their part to be the Regime. We are all Brainy. I am thus giving you all tips today - so you can go on being "Brainy".

I went to see this move yesterday expecting a special effects laden epic and disgusting American jingoism and was violently slapped in the face and kicked in the guts for my complacency.

Instead I experienced a film such raw realism showing the utterly horrifying depravity of the hijackers such as Siad Jarrah, their utter contempt for human life especially the passengers of United 93 and their revolting sociopathic Islamic fundementalism.
The moving protrayl of how ordinary people such as Todd Beamer, Jeremy Glick, Mark Bingham, air hostess Sandy Bradshaw and others threw themselves upon the terrorists and saved hundreds perhaps thousands of other human beings from indiscriminate slaughter. read full story / add a comment

How do most people classify sexual perversion?
And how justified are we in our attitudes toward sex?

The controversy over the age of consent in Irish courts should be framed with in an honest examination of our general attitude.

I will consider a wide range of different relationships: read full story / add a comment

For many of us who participated in the solidarity struggled for freedom in East Timor, the scenes coming out of Dili are disturbing. For those of us who heard Horte push a pro-U.S. war on Iraq position in Dublin last year, we have been worried for a while!

s book would not attempt to be the definitive statement on Indymedia. Rather, it would be an overview of some of the triumphs and struggles of the network over the past five-and-a-half years. Its entries would range from dramatic, stream-of-thought, first-person pieces to more analytic chapters on the meaning of Indymedia. The book, while thoughtful, would avoid being overly academic and would be graphic/picture heavy. read full story / add a comment

These days G is a busy man. Meeting him at his house, I see that he has converted his bedroom into a pseudo-office, full of computers and court documents, which he is currently transferring onto his newly launched website. He tells me that he has been working long hours recently on the website, but it seems clear that his enthusiasm and energy haven’t tired.
G is a man with a mission and seems about ready to pick up where he left off in his own personal campaign for justice against the state and county law makers of California.

The European Commission has lodged proceedings against Ireland with the European Court of Justice for its failure to assess and control unauthorised quarrying and similar activities. The proceedings follow a Letter of Formal Notice and a Reasoned Opinion sent by the Commission to Ireland over the past three years.

The BBC’s Countryfile programme tomorrow is highlighting the importance of maintaining limestone pavement as a unique natural habitat. Speaking in an interview from the Burren on the programme, Friends of the Irish Environment’s Tony Lowes explained that ‘The European Commission has just entered a case against Ireland in the European Court of Justice for its failure to control quarrying. The developers are actually quarrying and then looking for permission and of course this is the wrong way, you're supposed to assess your impact before you start." read full story / add a comment

America has been steadily reducing its active presence in the South Pacific over the past decade. Australia (the deputy sheriff) is expected to ‘step up to the plate’ and safeguard western interests in that region. Timor is the first test of deputy (dog) in the region and to date the deputy appears to be weakening at the knees. read full story / add a comment
