Irish women are often starved in labour despite there being significant benefits to eating - and significant risks to being starved.

A group of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) are planning to start
up a GI coffeehouse near the entrance of the Fort Lewis military base
in Washington State. Though the project is still in its planning
stages, the idea is that it will be a center for supporting GI rights
and war resistance in the region, as well as a place for GIs to get
coffee right off the base.

“Where pride once mobilised, it now marshals that consensus as our anger and frustration into a range of diversionary shopping opportunities. The battle is no longer about(if it ever has been) equality and acceptance, but liberation and simply survival as human beings against a system galloping towards the abyss.” read full story / add a comment

Ben Lewis argues that the threat to Iran from Imperialism is still very real. He also analyses developments within various anti-war groups. Full story at link.

Within the context of Barack Obama attempting to prove himself a reliable statesman by dropping in on occupying forces in Iraq, and with Gordon Brown’s speech to the knesset underlining his readiness to “stand firmly by Israel’s side” and call for “further sanctions and isolation” if Iran does not halt its alleged nuclear weapons programme, it is quite clear that the Geneva talks have not reduced the threat of a military strike. Things are precariously balanced and even the slightest incident, accident or diplomatic faux pas could trigger another bout of destruction and slaughter.

Surely no right-minded individual could admit to being against 'sustainability'. Or in favour of 'unsustainable' development. End of argument? Not according to Austin Williams, author of a new book, The Enemies of Progress, who argues that the drive for sustainability is killing creativity and holding back development.

But with the days of plentiful, cheap oil gone and with international terrorism and food security back on the agenda, has necessity truly
become the mother of invention? And, anyway, isn't creativity about finding solutions which overcome
restraints?

Come along on Tuesday 29 July at 7p m, meet the author and join the debate read full story / add a comment
