She was a young mother of an eight year old boy. She was black. She ran a food market in the city centre. The report of an attack and kids leaving the scene of her attack was called in at 4.37am. Communities need to make the kids own to what they have done to the woman and her family. This is the second such violent attack on a car which was occupied. Two children were severely burnt in the Moyross area recently. Their family home has been attacked recently. Social exclusion has reached a new level of low in this instance. read full story / add a comment

Sinn Féin Natural Resources spokesperson Martin Ferris TD has called on people to support solidarity protests against Shell facilities across Ireland in the wake of further clashes and reports of assaults by Gardaí on protestors at the Bellanaboy site. In a strongly worded statement, Deputy Ferris accused Shell of reliance on ‘dodgy polling, brute force and scab labour’ as proof of how isolated their position is and said the company is prepared to ‘lie, cheat and intimidate’ to get its way. read full story / add a comment

On More 4 last night I watched a stupendous masterpiece of filmmaking. "Death of a President" a faux documentary is about the future assassination of President George W. Bush in Chicago on Oct 18, 2007 and the human and political fall out his shooting. Told in flash back with archive footage and interviews with a Bush's speechwriter, the dead of the Secret Service Death, the chief FBI investigator into the assassination, a forensic expert, witnesses and many others it has the appearance of a real documentary. read full story / add a comment

It beggars belief that another man is now fighting for his life after being shot by a Garda using a live rifle round at Gort, Co. Galway. Have they learnt nothing from their killing of John Carthy in Abbeylara, Co. Longford? read full story / add a comment

In the july-war on Lebanon, as well as Israel as Hizbollah have committed serious human rights viollations and warcrimes against as well the Lebanese civilian population as the Israeli civilian population. Despite the ''justifications'' by both parties, they are both subjective to International Humanitarian Law, which forbids, under all circumstances, military attacks on civilians read full story / add a comment

In the first of what will hopefully become a fortnightly anarchist reading group, we have decided to look at three short texts exploring the relationship between activism and theory. A discussion of the interaction between radical theory and movement practice seems like a rather obvious starting point to kickstart an anarchist reading group. All of the chosen articles are available free online and are short and snappy. The longest is a transcription of a round table discussion that flits and darts in conversational style over areas our own discussion might cover. read full story / add a comment

Republican sources living in Ballymena believe IMC listed attacks wrongly attributed to dissident groups and wrongly categorized as military activity. Ballymena Residents attribute some attacks to maverick Sinn Fein elements and loyalist/Unionist disharmony. read full story / add a comment

Since the highly publicised case in 1993 of the disappearance of Annie Mc Carrick there has been little done in the way of Gardai Resources to tackle the issue of finding the women that have gone missing along the East Coast of Ireland. There has been little done in the way of resourcing to combat the violence which has led to the death of two women, and the disappearance of one Meg Walsh in Waterford. No-one has been brought to Justice for the death Of Sophie Toscan du Plantier. Where are the Department of Justice resources going? read full story / add a comment

From cave painting to totemism ART has always been the means by/through which a given ‘reality’ is re-arranged (according to the will/desire/needs of the artist/s). Who is it that declares ART today? Everyone is an artist and everything, including murder and war is Art! War is the Art of violent imbeciles but it is art nevertheless. An existing relatively peaceful world was re-arranged by murder artists and today we have a new reality, one transformed by the art of lies and the implements of war. The methods to alter a given reality have never changed only tools (the means) change. It would be well that all become familiar with the means and ends of ‘ART’. read full story / add a comment

I attempt to identify two distinct streams in the emerging Irish opposition groups, then I discuss some topics that seem to divide them, and finally I explore the issue of Immigration, which unfortunately has the potential to divide these groups for years to come. read full story / add a comment |
