International Secretary Peace and Neutrality Alliance

Re: Possible arrival of war criminal at Shannon airport this afternoon

Dear Sgt O'Sullivan

I have received information that US President George W Bush may be arriving
at Shannon airport this afternoon. For the purpose of identification to help
you with your enquiries he is likely to be travelling in a Boeing 767
aircraft normally known as Air-force One.

On my own behalf and on behalf of the Irish Peace and Neutrality Alliance, I
formally ask you to arrest Mr George W Bush as soon as he lands at Shannon
so as to prevent his escape. As you are aware, Ireland, as a signatory to
the agreements setting up the International Criminal Court, is obliged to
arrest any suspected war read full story / add a comment

The Plowshares movement began when Elmer Maas & 7 others entered the General Electric Plant, in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and took hammers to first strike nuclear weaponry in the Sept. of 1980. Elmer played a menitoring role to many of us who were to follow him into nonviolent disarmament, the courts and jails in a spirit of nonviolent reistance to the war making state. He died last wekend on an Atlantic Life Community retreat - peacefully in a chair after giving a presenttaion to resisters who had gathered. read full story / add a comment

News is circulating that yet another anarchist has died due to state repression on Mayday. Within hours of the Dublin anarchist picnic Nicolás David Neira Alvares was clubbed to the ground by up to eight police on the Bogota Mayday march and beaten on the head until he passed out. Police then prevented his comrades getting to him so it was some time before they could get him to hospital where he died earlier today. read full story / add a comment

Socialist Forum: Socialists, Elections and Parliament
Location: The Red Parrot, Dorset Street North Dublin
Time: 8.30pm Monday 9, May.


The mainstream media view of politics is that it is only what happens in parliament that matters. Street protests, local campaigns, and large scale mobilisations such as the Anti War Movement are ignored in favour of coverage of debates in the Dail. However the decisions that really control our lives are taken outside Parliament, and inside the boardrooms of undemocratic major corporations. This forum looks at the issue of socialists, elections and parliament. All are welcome to attend.
.
See : http://www.swp.ie/html/marxist_resources.htm for a huge number of articles dealing with the issues of socialism, elections and parliament.
