Michael Mc Dowell, being back in the High Court defending the Rights of the Father is awaiting judgement of the Mr 'G' case, in which a father has applied for return of his kids from another jurisdiction (UK) and the right to be a father and to educate his children. Another recent High Court case is being prepared to go to the Supreme Court regarding the rights of a woman to use the eggs she is storing and to have the dad pay for the future life and education of any child conceived as result of the process- the father won citing the end of the marriage and irreconcilable difference. She is appealing. Both cases involve:- Father's Rights to family and both are read for and judged within the confines of the Catholic Constitution drafted by De Valera and of course substanially amended by Archbishop Mc Quaid. The 'G' case should get loads of coverage. read full story / add a comment

As if proof were needed of how the idyllic peaceful ways of Ireland are different from Ilford London along comes this next story in foreign silliness - One small town entrepeneur & champion of street crime victims in Rumford, North East England is making consumer news at the moment. The "Bladerunner" company has been making kevlar gloves for some years now, but this year began production of stylish stab proof hooded jackets which are now proving a street cred must amongst the ever more paranoid & cautious parent of i-pod back to schoolers. Testimonial writers & satisfied customers even tell tales of their foiled stabbing at bank machines - "your hoody saved my life". read full story / add a comment

Naomi Klein has written a new book examining what she calls "the shock doctrine" which based on Friedman's economic theories has seen Globalised Capitalism built on successive "shocks" to societies and states. She likens the shock approach to market changes and cut government spending to interrogation techniques developed and still used by the CIA in the late 1940's for individuals. As part of the launch, "The Guardian" has a short movie clip by Alfonso Cuaran & Klein ff just under 6 minutes duration which brings you through it quite neatly http://books.guardian.co.uk/video/2007/sep/07/naomiklein read full story / add a comment

A small victory, part of the "Patriot" Act has been declared unconstitutional. Now the FBI etc will have to get a court order before they can secretly obtain records from ISPs. A federal judge struck down parts of the revised USA Patriot Act on Thursday, saying investigators must have a court's approval before they can order Internet providers to turn over records without telling customers. U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero said the government orders must be subject to meaningful judicial review and that the recently rewritten Patriot Act "offends the fundamental constitutional principles of checks and balances and separation of powers." read full story / add a comment
