We're all feeling a little giddy after the inauguration, but let us remember to put not our trust in princes, says Joanna Gray. After all, Thomas More effused at the coronation of Henry VIII, and look what happened to him.

Rebuilding the Republican Socialist Alternative

"Let us look to a higher motive than praise or profit - to promot truth and labour together, as Irishmen, bound by love of country, which is far higher and stronger tie than any human obligation." -

Jemmy Hope

The Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP) will be using this week's election to signal our call for republican socialist politics to be put at the heart of the Irish political agenda. read full story / add a comment

Just so you know, the 2002 Anti-Trespass Act has been used by Cork City Council to convict members of two Traveller families in Cork District Court. Michael Faulkner and Kathleen Delaney were both sentenced to a month in prison, suspended for two years and one year respectively. This raises a constitutional concern regarding basic human rights to shelter and liberty, both of which are threatened by this bizarre anomaly in legislation. read full story / add a comment

The BB2 programme currently screening is a tired rehash, reinforcement of the Warren Commission's findings. The programme promised to use up to date computer graphics to analyse the Zepruder film in depth, but failed to show or explain the Zepruder film in its entirety. Failing to explain the moment the president's head is hit from in front, causing a massive exit wound at the back of the Presidents' head, which effectively blows off the back of the president's scalp. read full story / add a comment

no event in particular actually planned on my part - other than leafletting and possible banner drop - but just wanted to let everyone know, in case they weren't already aware, that this Friday/Saturday the 28/29th is international Buy Nothing Day (some dispute, US celebrates 28th, rest of the world 29th).

challenge our consumer-driven society; free ourselves from corporate rule; and highlight the abuses, exploits, and general wrong-doings of some of this country's and the world's most prominent and arrogant brands and multi-nationals. encourage people to stop and think rather than just shop and consume...

so i guess the event is essentially the day itself. there's some great ideas on adbusters.org and lots more links out there. so stop shopping and encourage and appeal to others to do the same. and if anyone actually does organise anything, or has anything planned, let us know.

A view as to why Dubliners should support our current transport service.From my ongoing research into people's opinions of Dublin Bus, I have found that the vast majority of people do not realise the implications and changes that privatisation will bring.The introduction of the private sector into the public transport sector will not improve the commuters long term interests but will destroy a company that has developed into a profitable and publicly orientated transport service set in the interests of all the people.People say " bring on the private operators but they fail to realise that this ill thought opinion will bring with it, higher fare prices,less frequent service on non-profitable routes and the cancelling of routes that make no sense from a business aspect to maintain in use. read full story / add a comment

Despite being one of the most important northern elections for some time, the absence of real discussion on Indymedia about the forthcoming Assembly elections has been quite amazing. Has there been any feature pieces on the election during the last number of weeks? Appart from a couple of SF, SP and SEA postings has there been any substantial discussion or debate? Would a southern election equally fail to generate much coverage? Is there a partitionist mindset among regular Indymedia contributors?

In order to provoke a debate about the elections, likley outcomes and consequences for the peace process I have posted an interesting article by BBC correspondent Mark Davenport. While his views are often way off the mark, this piece has much merit.

Let the debate flow... read full story / add a comment

They love 'Freedom' in Miami - they 'really' do . .
Here are some reports from the streets there. Much more at the related 'ftaaimc' link. Makes a mockery of Bush's statement about the protests in the UK during his visit - 'Isn't freedom wonderful'. And the Black Bloc . . . what can you say? . . . It's gone beyond a joke . . . at this rate even the Irish police will cop on to this tactic sooner or later read full story / add a comment
