A press release issued by UCD Alliance for Choice on Friday hasbeen repeatedly deleted by UCDSUs editorial group. Like indymedia, UCDSUs news wire uses the oscailt program. Unlike Indymedia however despite stating that : "A record of all editorial actions, which editor performed the action and the reason for it are sent the editorial email list which anybody can join. So if you want to keep an eye on the evil censorships of the UCD SU-cabal, you know what to do. Subscribing to this list means you will see all articles and comments which have been hidden and the reason why they were hidden. After subscribing, you can then go through the archives of the list to see all past editorial actions" UCDSU operates no such system. There is no open, transparent accountable editorial list. The previous UCDSU administration has used an editorial e-mail list. The current SU president is a member of Ogra Fianna Fail. read full story / add a comment

The very American travelling circus that is tent religion matured and found expression in the mass ‘conversions’ (come on down and be saved style) of Billy Graham, demagogue and showman, the forerunner of today’s Evangelicals. Plastic religion for a plastic society, Graham invented ‘Kentucky fried religion’, a fast consumable product that was accessible to the masses, requiring nothing but gleefully running to the stage and in spectacular fashion being ‘saved’ by Billy or one of his many imitators. Modern Evangelicalism was born, long arduous hours of meditation and prayer in the pursuit of Deity was a thing of the medieval past. read full story / add a comment

Anthony McIntyre has stood up for Womens Rifghts and Democratict Rights against the Islamofascists. For doing this, the SWP and their lackeys have called him an Islamophobe. In the article below Anthony profiles Maryam Namazie, an Iranian Socialist Feminist. Maryam shows how backward and reactionary Islam is. How opposing Islam is literally a life or death question for Women in Islamic States. Maryam says: "Labelling women's rights activists as racists is a dim-witted ploy to justify and excuse women's status under Islam and political Islam, and deny women and people living in the Middle East and Iran universal rights and freedoms." Theres an excerpt from the article below. The full article is at the link. pat read full story / add a comment
