All societies are divided into classes that are "oppressed" and those who oppress them. Capitalism is no different, even though its revolutions may have instituted democratic political structures designed to enfranchise the "oppressed." For the very idea of democracy in a society where private property exists, according to the Manifesto, is an illusion: "The executive of the modern state is but a committee for managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie." In other words, democratic elections are a sham. Civil war is the political answer to humanity's problems: "Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains." The solution to all fundamental social problemsto war, to poverty, to economic inequality lies in a conflict that will rip society apart and create a new revolutionary world from its ruins. This is the enduring message of the Manifesto, and why its believers have left such a legacy of human freedom in their wake as they set about to create a progressive future. read full story / add a comment

Mainstream media has largely ignored two recent events that would have attracted sustained media attention in the past. Half a million Hispanics and other protesters flooded the streets of LA while in France a staggering three million protesters confronted the authorities. These protests occurred in quick succession but barely rated a mention in the popular press. Activists and analysts have been aware for some time that the independence and impartiality of the mass media has been compromised. Regardless of the magnitude and impact of a specific event, if it is considered to be incompatible with certain interests, it is disregarded. read full story / add a comment

The NRA conference entitled : Building a Better Road Environment (30/03/06) was addressed by Margaret Gowen of Gowen and co. Archaeological Consultants and project managers. The methodology of preparing an EIS used by the project management team in the M3 Route selection procedure was adapted as a template for procedural applications and re-hashed for the NRA conference. One could derive from this that it is considered a sucessful model for future road projects. read full story / add a comment

The Labour Party like other organisations operates a pension scheme for its employees, in Labour’s case it’s a defined benefit scheme which offers employees a pension based on a fixed percentage of their salary upon retirement. The staff pay in 5% of their salary each year and in return the party is supposed to cover the balance. read full story / add a comment

This is a monumental sea change in consumer protection policy in the USA, necessary to correct and prevent more neurodegenerative damages from Aspartame, the artificial sweetener which is metabolized as formaldehyde and methanol. Just google: UNITED NATIONS UNDERSECRETARY GENERAL FOR NUTRITION, to read the Resolution, and if you want to see Ireland as a cosponsor for placing the Resolution on the Agenda for September, write to the President, Prime Minister, and Foreign Minister.

Phil Pritchard & Toby Olditch had their appeal turned down in the House of Lords. Appeal matters arose out of their initial pre-trial hearing. Phil & Toby, who attended the trial of the Pit Stop Ploughshares last March in Dublin, acted to stop U.S. B-52 bombardment of Iraq from RAF Fairford. B52's dropped napalm, cluster bombs & fuel air explosives over Iraq. read full story / add a comment

Hi, As most of you will already know The Body Shop are due to be taken over by French cosmetics giant L'Oreal (who test their products on animals), who in turn are part owned by one of the worlds most campaigned against companies Nestlé (who also carry out tests on animals). Although The Body Shop has had some what of a shady past in regards to its union related activities and claims of false advertising, it has remained in most peoples opinion the most ethical multinational around. Not anymore! See www.boycottbodyshop.co.uk for more information. read full story / add a comment

As an American, I am completely fed up with the "war on terror" going on in Iraq and the constant screw-ups along made along the way. Yesterday, I read that Ayad Allawi, Iraq's former interim learder has consented that Iraq is involved in a Civil War, yet the US Idiot cannot seem to figure that out. Now today, I brouse through The Guardian, and discover a story relating tales of terror detainees barred from trials in the US courts, and awaiting judgement on their right to a trial. read full story / add a comment |
