The observations and re-actions of various ‘experts’ to events in the Ukraine amuse some analysts. Did anyone expect the US not to intervene, do leopards change their spots? Have we all forgotten that the US government is merely a pawn of Corporate Capitalism? If it wasn’t an orange scarf it may just as well have been pink – let’s not miss the ‘forest for the trees’ (and in some cases the veins of the leaves.) read full story / add a comment

France has ordered the TV station which is closely associated with terror groups to stop broadcasting to France tomorrow by tomorrow morning. The decision has been made after continuous abuse of satelite communication and trans-national media rules, norms and values. The decision follows an earlier confiscation of their hardware by the US security forces. read full story / add a comment

With this article I want to express my worriness about the recent violation of the rights of Mohammed B, the suspect of the murder on the Dutch cineaste van Gogh, which is not only an attack on his rights, but can also lead to a further erosion of the Dutch judicial system, which is based on the protection of the rights of a defendant and a fair trial. read full story / add a comment

James Connolly is probably the single most important figure in the history of the Irish left. He was an organiser in the IWW in the USA but in Ireland is best known for his role in building the syndicalist phase of Irish union movement and for involving the armed defence body of that union, the Irish Citizens' Army in the 1916 nationalist insurrection. This left a legacy claimed at one time or another not only by all the Irish left parties but also by the nationalists of Fianna Fail and Sinn Fein. read full story / add a comment

Sunday the 19th of December at the UnaWarehouse (formerly Spacecraft) we will be hosting a *potluck* with films, fun, and some colouring. Bring a dish or dessert to share. Fun starts from early afternoon. We also thought we'd ask our friends to come with a *new* unwrapped gift to be donated to children whose mothers are staying at Haven House in Phibsboro. Gifts should be appropriate for kids up to 13yrs. Haven House is often overlooked in xmas charity time because it is a hostel for homeless women. (Alternately, gift donations can be left in at Red Ink Books & Zines/Murder City Records on Fownes Street in Temple Bar) Ring or text us for more info. Check out the Bad Books website for a map to the location and for more information on Haven House. read full story / add a comment

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A portrait of President Bush using monkeys to form his image led to the closure of a New York art exhibition over the weekend and anguished protests on Monday over freedom of expression. "Bush Monkeys," a small acrylic on canvas by Chris Savido, created the stir at the Chelsea Market public space, leading the market's managers to close down the 60-piece show that was scheduled to stay up for the next month. read full story / add a comment

Activists with the anti racism network in the north were last week circulating an email encouraging people to "share their feelings" with Mary Lloyd, Managing Director of Homefinders Belfast, the racist estate agency that barred black, chinese and other minority ethnic families from applying for homes. The email initiative came after Homefinders threatened to take a court order out against the ARN for picketing their offices last week. The message reads; read full story / add a comment

Something is seriously amiss in education. Inequality of access is rampant and it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the latest Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) report and bouts of rhetoric from the government are going to do little to solve it. Beaten back two years ago, the government is once again trying to introduce fees, this time dumping the idea onto the OECD. Meanwhile, back home it uses its own shoddy track record in tackling educational inequality as a justification. read full story / add a comment
