international / anti-capitalism / other press Thursday April 16, 2009 13:33 by Peter Sutherland's Nemesis
It has. And this link to a story in today's Guardian shows it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/apr/15/g20-protest-po...logue Corporate media a few years ago had very little or no interest in the predictable response from the state to protesters who questioned the nature of the system and questioned capitalism. At this link the Guardian has a pile of videos showing police brutality against London 2009 G20 protesters. It’s fairly tame stuff for anyone who has been with a few metres of the riot squad really going for it, but none the less it is shocking stuff for most Guardian readers: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/apr/15/g20-protest-po...logue read full story / add a comment

The Lisbon Treaty was rejected by Irish voters last year, amidst the backdrop of an inept Government, a No campaign run by vested interests and a general level of ignorance as regards content of the Treaty. These are the reasons why we should vote Yes, why we shouldn't trust No campaigners and how the Lisbon Treaty is our ticket to a more transparent and democratic Europe, with Ireland at the centre of a stronger EU. read full story / add a comment

My view on the world and all its moaning about the financial diffuculties we apparently face now. Its a total farce and it is the media putting negative thoughts into our heads, and I for one i'm not that easily swayed. read full story / add a comment

We must persevere to promote the only reasonable solution to the conflict in Ireland.

The system of economics which we have lived by for well over a decade has given us the many benefits of a booming economy- higher wages, a better standard of living, and an overall sense of happiness and well being. But what of those left behind? What of the multi-national companies, and profit driven banks, who take full advantage of the elitist and greedy philosophy of this system driven totally by profit? It's time to ask ourselves tough questions of the system we live under and how it affects us in our own lives, and in the lives of the most vulnerable in society. read full story / add a comment

Brian Lenihan’s emergency supplementary bludget brings the curtain down on Ireland’s pantomime of excess. The workforce in Ireland willingly accepted twelve years of wage slavery when the goodies compensated for the grind, and the illusion of perpetual growth became the powerful myth underpinning the new consumer religion. More unreckonable years of wage slavery or welfare dependence await, as the personal and public debts accumulated during the boom must be paid for. read full story / add a comment |
