The media is an arm of Government - and nothing illustrates the point more than the act of the Kerryman newspaper in its issue of 18th April last when it featured a front page story on how Provo TD Martin Ferris was aware of an alleged threat against a mother by a gang of drug dealers from Limerick. read full story / add a comment

La comunitat resident musulmana continua les gestions per aconseguir un nou local que els fidels puguin fer servir com a mesquita. Després que el Govern els hagi respost negativament a la demanda per a l’ espai, perquè, segons el president del Centre Cultural Islàmic, Mohamed Raguig, “ ens han dit que no tenen cap local ni cap terreny disponible” , l’ entitat va anunciar ahir que sol·licitarà la col·laboració del copríncep episcopal, Joan Martí Alanis, perquè “ com a màxima autoritat al Principat” intercedeixi davant l’ executiu. La comunitat musulmana utilitza actualment com a mesquita un local ubicat a la planta baixa d’ un edifici de la carretera d’ Engolasters, a Escaldes. read full story / add a comment

TUI Congress Delegates Organize Solidarity with teachers and Schools in Iraq There was a standing ovation for Nuria Mustafa, an Iraqi citizen, when she addressed the TUI Congress in Ennis on Tuesday 22nd April. Nuria was invited to speak at a fringe meeting by Dublin City post primary delegates. Congress Standing Orders, at delegates request, changed the order of business in order that Nuria could address the whole Congress. Nuria called on Irish teachers to send delegations to Iraq and for Irish schools and colleges to twin with schools in Iraq. 2 delegates,wearing T-shirts with the slogan ‘Irish Neutrality RIP’, presented petitions to the Minister for Education calling on the Irish Government to end their political support for US foreign policy and the use of facilities at Shannon Airport. Numerous delegates signed a Network address list. It is hoped to co-ordinate solidarity work with teachers and schools and colleges in Ireland read full story / add a comment

An Irish pub in Afghanistan has been shut down, just weeks after it opened. The Irish Club in the capital Kabul was the country's only bar. It shut down after receiving warnings it could be the target of a terrorist attack. News of the threats were passed onto the owner by the US Embassy and the UN, which also banned its staff from visiting. A UN official said if someone were to bomb it, the entire international community could be wiped out in one night. The bar will remain shut for at least a week. read full story / add a comment

These acts of disobedience and boycott are referencing a new language: the movement has become substantive because it is implementing its own laws, from below, in order to end crimes against humanity. It is implementing blockades of the merchandise of war, sanctioning those who are speculating in the war, breaking off diplomatic ties with political representatives of the governments at war. That movement is dreaming up another possible world, and it knows that, in order to achieve that world, it must remove the dimension of unjust and cynical legality of the market of war, in order to make room for humanity. read full story / add a comment |
