Summary: Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli whistleblower will be given a visa to live in Norway, initial reports from Norway suggest at present. Vanunu spent eighteen years in an Israeli prison for revealing that Israel has nuclear weaapons. For the past four years (since his release), he has lived under the most severe restrictions to his freedom. He is not allowed to travel freely, not leave Israel even to the occupied West Bank or Gaza, nor speak to foreigners. Norway's offer once again brings his name and fate to the attention of the conscience of the international community. read full story / add a comment

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is addressing the National Forum on Europe in St Patrick's Hall in Dublin Castle at 3pm tomorrow followed by President of the EU Commission Manuel Barroso speaking this Thurs. Some of us will be going along to suggest to Angela and Barroso that if they are in any way interested in democracy they won't be afraid to hold a referendum in Germany and in the other EU states and let the people decide. All welcome. There should be some media attention around the visits so getting involved in polls or radio debates on the treaty would be great. We're being conned but it doesn't have to be quietly. Yes, they'll try to do it anyway but why make it easier for them. A referendum is the closest thing we have to voicing a direct opinion and this will be the last one we'll have on the EU if we vote yes. read full story / add a comment

All is not as it appears at surface level. Iran condemns Israel as Zionist butchers but at the same time sells oil to Israel. Oil which fuels the tanks and jets that slaughter the Palestinians and Lebanese. Full story of the Iranian Regimes treacherey at the link. If you've ever wondered about the definition of hypocrisy you'll find the answer right here. Last month the Swiss signed a multi-billion euro contract for Iran to supply Switzerland with natural gas over the next 25 years. The US State Department condemned the deal and said it would be investigating whether it breached the Iran Sanctions Act. Israel complained too, describing the Swiss minister's visit to Tehran as an "act unfriendly to Israel".On March 30, the Swiss newspaper Sonntag retaliated with the revelation that Israel, supposedly observing an ironclad boycott of all things Iranian, has been buying Iranian oil for years. read full story / add a comment

By creating a provincial parliament for the nine counties of Ulster, within the framework of a new Ireland the partition system would be disestablished and the problem of the border removed. The Protestant people of Ulster would have a working majority and would have immediate access to power. Furthermore, the devolution of power to the local level would ensure for each community the opportunity to foster its own traditions and culture. Each region and community would have within itself the immediate power to deal with its own social and economic problems. Such devolution of power from one central authority to the people is the essence of democracy. The Nationalist population would be of sufficient strength to ensure a strong and credible opposition within reach of power. For the first time in fifty years we would see a normalization of politics with an end to the domination of one community by another and the resultant frustration and conflict. read full story / add a comment
