international / anti-war / imperialism / other press Friday October 02, 2009 15:42 by Yassamine Mather   text 2 comments (last - saturday october 17, 2009 19:58)
Yassamine Mather writes on how the Iranian Regime uses threats from the imperialists to justify the oppression of Iranian workers, students and womens rights activists. Full story at url below.

The dramatic statements by Obama, Brown and Sarkozy about Iran’s undisclosed nuclear enrichment plant, made on the first day of the G20 gathering in Pittsburgh, were clearly intended to prepare the world for a new conflict in the Middle East. But this is old news. US and UK secret services had known about it for at least 3 years - Israel and France also knew about it and delivered their finding to the International Atomic Energy Agency earlier this year. So what was the main purpose of the Obama-Sarkozy-Brown show on September 25? Could it be it was directed mainly to audiences in the US, UK and France, to convince them that, at a time of economic uncertainty, western leaders have to deal with a ‘major external threat’ posed by Iran’s nuclear development?

national / eu / press release Wednesday September 30, 2009 23:00 by Fiachra Ó Luain
PRESS RELEASE - 30th September 2009

There has been a formal call for the OSCE to oversee the Irish Lisbon referendum amid growing concerns that the result of the Irish referendum may be manipulated by postal vote fraud. A source within the Dublin City Council has informed the former MEP candidate Fiachra Ó Luain of efforts by the head of the Franchise department to actively register residents of retirement homes, prisons and even the army.

The source has said that the head of the Franchise department has unsupervised and unregulated access to the postal votes and suggests that there may be concerted efforts to influence the outcome of the Lisbon referendum by manipulation of the postal vote system. This corroborates the fact that the ‘People’s Movement’, who are calling for a No vote, received notice from various county councils of the issue of postal votes the day after they had been sent out. read full story / add a comment
