School students against war {SSAW} in Belfast after speaking on behalf of youth in the North at the Belfast Feb 15th Demo have held a debate today. Barbara Muldoon SWP and Anti War Movement debated Bob McCartney of the UK unionist party. Over 300 schoolstudents attended the debate. Although only recently formed SSAW have went from strength to strength with already a brief TV slot on prime time news and on radio and today in a paper I picked up gave them almost a half page picture of their big contingent on the demo lead by their banner.

Mondays Irish Independent quotes unnamed 'government sources' on its front page who say even if Bush goes to war without a UN mandate the government will continue to allow refuelling to take place at Shannon. If, as it appears likely, the government refuses to stop refuelling then direct action is the only road left to those who oppose the war.

At least 21 people are confirmed dead, Chicago Police spokesman Pat Camden said Monday. There were more than 1,500 people in the two-story Epitome Night Club on south Michigan Avenue when someone sprayed pepper spray or mace into the air some time after 2 a.m., Fire Commander Will Knight said. This is the fault of The Regime's Orange Alert which has established a panicky reaction among the public to the release of any foreign substance. http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/club14.html read full story / add a comment

In his usual sneaky way former head of Nato Solana practices war as a continuation of politics by other means. Witness his bloody role in the Balkans when he was head of Nato at a time its lying propaganda machine and double speak was at full efficiency, remmember Jamie Shea! read full story / add a comment

Some of the media headlines: 'It was the largest demonstration of its kind Northern Ireland has seen'. It was Belfasts biggest ever anti war demonstration'. One simply said 'Historic'. Whatever the case it was a brilliant demo that brought Belfast centre to a standstill. read full story / add a comment

Wish I could have posted my pics of the charge of the NYC horse brigade into crowds, but the server won't accomodate. Please, when you have time go to NYC IMC to read the many first-hand accounts from 2/15. I personally feel it's important people read what happened to us. Yesterday, some joked with me that I didn't end as is my habit "Vince from the land of the free." Of course, I couldn't. What before was anger/irony, now feels so painfully real. I feel viscerally and spiritually sick. It was so ignorant of the cops/administration/judge and unnecessary yesterday. The cops were the problem, not the diverse and peaceful anti-war protesters. Well, my interview with the horse trainer/breeder as follows: read full story / add a comment

Unclesama bin liner's convenient alciaeda terrorist threat to the west, comes in time to condemn millions of unconnected innocent iraqi civillians to death at the hands of brit/american troops, it also comes in time to justify british society embracing draconian military rule and laws.

Michel Chossudovsky looks at "the blatant distortion of truth and the systematic manipulation of all sources of information" which is lying the ground for devastating war. Military planners in the Pentagon are acutely aware of the central role of war propaganda. Waged from the Pentagon, the State Department and the CIA, a fear and disinformation campaign (FDC) has been launched. The blatant distortion of the truth and the systematic manipulation of all sources of information is an integral part of war planning. In the wake of 9/11, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld created to the Office of Strategic Influence (OSI), or "Office of Disinformation" as it was labeled by its critics: read full story / add a comment |
