The following article has just been published in the latest edition of Comhlamh’s magazine, Focus (Winter 2003/Spring 2004). Written by Fintan Lane while in prison back in January, it argues that anti-war activists need “to develop a strategy based on tactical diversity”.

Global Women's Strike

'....We in the US have paid for the brutal and illegal wars that this unelected president has urged us to fight for him, with homelessness, starvation, high infant mortality, no health care for millions, working three and four jobs just to survive. Our children are neglected, illiterate, undernourished and poisoned by junk food, polluted air and water, and pharmaceutical drugs. This is the greatness of the United States of America...we and our children are left with fewer choices other than Mcjobs, prostitution, prisons, and finally the military - we call it the poverty draft...' read full story / add a comment

For weeks before the Bush visit the government and the mdia were going on about the need for extensive security for the Bush visit. The threat to the US President was real and had to be dealt with accordingly. Those in the anti-war movement argued that the security operation had more to do with preventing peaceful protest than anything else. I am outlining some of my experience of the security around Shannon read full story / add a comment

CAD one is gone.
He's in Turkey.
They got bombed to say greet him.
He's gone and laid a wreath to Ataturk.
Their workers are going to get the chop.
You in Ireland have accomplished one of the Geopolitically most succesful protests in the most creative and wideband way with wonderful results.

The presidential re-election visit to Ireland of the world’s most hated man was a spectacular failure for Bush. As importantly, the extravaganza backfired on the Irish government. Bertie Ahern played the part of a lapdog to great affect, and nobody in Ireland liked it. Unusually, the media in Ireland refrained from assisting the government from putting a positive gloss on an unpopular action (given the depth of opposition to Bush, it couldn’t do anything else), and the Bush administration was made acutely aware of the deep-felt opposition to the US president and his “War on Terror”. The Carol Coleman interview with Bush allowed us all to witness the Texan cowboy squirm when confronted with his unpopularity amongst the Irish. read full story / add a comment

The results of the Local Elections show that the Bin Tax is still a very real issue. In areas where Anti Bin Tax candidates ran serious campaigns the resulting first preference vote was excellent considering the lack of finance and the voluntary nature of those campaigns. read full story / add a comment
