Last week (3 & 4 Dec), Irish Examiner journalist, Michael O’Farrell, revealed that the Hewlett-Packard plant in Galway (recently Compaq, and before that, Digital), was producing vital software for nuclear weaponry in both the US and France. The Galway Alliance Against War responded on Thursday evening (05/12/02) with a hastily-organised protest. Twenty members of the group, in the guise of ‘weapons inspectors’ went to the plant in Ballybrit, to demand that all work on weapons of mass destruction be discontinued. We were prevented by security from passing the front gate, but our action got extensive coverage in the local media -Galway Bay FM, Galway Advertiser, TG4- and some in the national media. Since our protest, further information about the Hewlett-Packard programme has been brought to our attention, Follow-up activities are planned therefore. read full story / add a comment

From ‘NO QUARTER’, magazine of Anti-Fascist Action, Ireland. More information at: http://www.geocities.com/irishafa Loyalists and Fascists Links between Unionists/Loyalists in the North and British Fascists go back over 80 years. As far back as the 1920s the 'British Fascisti' set up a group in Co. Down which led a pogrom against catholics and in the 1930s members of the Glasgow fascist gang the 'Billy Boys' visited Belfast to take part in sectarian rioting during the 12th of July weekend. However this article will focus on links in recent years. (Some people on indymedia seem to be unaware that it is Loyalism which has links with Fascism. Hopefully this will put a few things in perspective for them. This article isnt on the AFA site yet, Pat C) read full story / add a comment

Every few weeks, Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak tells Israel it must resume negotiations with the Palestinians that will lead them to a state. But on Sunday, December 1, he went a lot further. Addressing a Muslim clerical group in Cairo at an occasion marking the final prayer of the Ramadan holy month, he declared that international terror is not religious; nor is it the fault of Muslims or Arabs, but their reaction to political injustices meted out by the “international community”. read full story / add a comment

Take the trail to the the Three and Five "I"s, being careful to avoid the false leads suggesting they refer to the identities of Permindex, Division Five, American Council of Christian Churches, the Solidarists, and DISC. There are connections between the two assassinated Kennedys that are so ironic as to exceed the Greek tragedies. Go back to square one to the formation of OSS/CIA Follow the money from there forward. Remember: "The fascists are coming.". If you know what a fascist is... you know what an elitist is... you know what a globalist is... read full story / add a comment
