Discredited former T.D. gets 100,000 per annum sinecure in the Seanad(to keep his mouth shut?) Ivor the Engine is waiting in the Seanad to relaunch his career. The High Court hearing of the Taxiplate owners compensation case taken against the state, and its various agencies, by solicitors,Obrien McMahon Downes has been delayed as the state has asked for a sixteen week adjournment to enable it defend its corner.It will be early 2008 before the case reaches the Four Goldmines.It may cost the taxpayer 200 million euros.Bertie Ahern and his special envoy Ivor Callely are central to this issue. http://www.soldiersofdestiny.org/taxitaxi.htm http://www.soldiersofdestiny.org/iscallelyacrooktoo.htm read full story / add a comment

Yassamine Mather writes on the judicial murder of 50 people in Iran. She also points out that according to Iranian Govt figures, 150,000 women have been arrested for wearing an "improper hijab" (ie letting their hair show). Full article at link. At the end of July and beginning of August 2007, in less than a week, over 50 people were executed by public hanging in Iran’s islamic republic. This has taken place against the background of a campaign entitled ‘enforcement of national security’, under which over one million Iranians have faced questioning. Meanwhile, the state claims that it has arrested 4,000 ‘delinquents’ and detained 43,000 accused of drug offences. Just as alarmingly, anti-war, anti-imperialist activists such as Mansour Ossanlou and Mahmoud Salehi, as well as many workers and students, are held in prison on trumped-up charges. read full story / add a comment

In the aftermath of the setback for the broad left in the May 2007 elections there has been a substantial focus in both establishment and alternative media about the implications for Sinn Féin and, to a slightly lesser extent, the Labour party. Yet it is perhaps the Socialist Party that suffered the most....... read full story / add a comment

The Sunday Tribune has slowly but surely ceased to be a quality 'News' paper. Media baron Sir Tony may own just a minority share but he's the only one paying all the Sunday Tribune's salaries and bills. Which explains why it shamelessly, just a fortnight ago, poked a five-page dig at O'Reilly's corporate rival Denis O'Brien who is trying to take over Sir Anto's INM. The Sunday Tribune has deceptively swapped good news reporting for opinion and cheaply-found tabloid stories of human interest.... as expected O'Brien came away without even a bruise. A few months ago the Sunday Tribune published a document alleging serious wrongdoing at construction and insurance billionaire Sean Quinn's Quinn-Direct company. Quinn has sued....... it now looks like Sir Anthony may need the bandages!!!!!! (see Irish Times story below) read full story / add a comment
