Peace is essential. Diversity exists but it is up to each person to work at making Unity the goal.

Leadership is about inspiration. Leadership envelopes philosophy, psychology and a level of Truth. read full story / add a comment

As the Guardian wins access to court files relating to Alvis (now owned by BAe systems) having had Indonesian Dictator Suahrto's daughter on the pay role. As surveillance & dodgy activity appears to be stepping up around the Pit Stop Ploughshares awaiting trial in Dublin. It may be worth revisiting what gone before.

The following web site has been set up dealing with the infiltration by a private intelligence agency hired by BAe to infiltrate the moderate "Campaign Against the Arms Trade" and the radical Liverpool Catholic Worker & Bread Not Bombs Plowshares support.

Good to know this stuff, not to be paralysed by paranoia but to remain "wise as serpants, gentle as doves". read full story / add a comment

In November, significant Revenue data on tax reliefs was issued in response to Dáil Questions from Deputies Joan Burton, Richard Bruton and Paul McGrath.

Last week, as if it was all a revelation to him, the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said that 'the game is up' for those who have paid little or no tax through availing of the many reliefs/schemes, which are undermining the taxation system. On Friday last, Mary Harney jumped on the bandwagon and said that individuals who earn more than €200,000 should pay a minimum of 20% in income tax. read full story / add a comment
