The private detective with the torturous personal life is a standard cliche of modern television and cinema. But he was also to be found sleuthing away behind the Iron Curtain. Similarly, devious intellectuals and honest sincere workers have thrived on both sides of the divide. This article compares the effects of communist censorship on popular culture with the effects of market pressures on modern popular culture, finding some striking similarities. read full story / add a comment

The only activity engaged in by Republican Sinn Féin and its members is legitimate political activity, as we have done for almost the past 100 years, the centenary of our foundation is in 2005." read full story / add a comment

"This is crossing the Rubicon, after which there will be no more sovereign states in Europe with fully-fledged governments and parliaments which represent legitimate interests of their citizens, but only one State will remain. Basic things will be decided by a remote 'federal government' in Brussels and, for example, Czech citizens will be only a tiny particle whose voice and influence will be almost zero. ; We are against a European superstate." - Czech President Vaclav Klaus, Mlada Fronta Dnes, 29-9-2003 read full story / add a comment

I need to give some background to why this letter is dated. Fintan wrote and sent this letter out to me on December 2nd, to be put out before the blockade. It arrived in my letterbox today, December 8th. Other letters he has sent have arrived within 24 hours of sending. The prison censors must have made a conscious, politically motivated decision to delay the sending of this one, as it encourages people to attend December 6th and make it a success. I doubt that the delay is the fault of An Post, given the speed with which Fintan's other letters have been delivered. We know the blockade was indeed a success, but I thought it appropriate to post this letter up verbatim regardless, because we wouldn't want to buy into attempts to silence an anti-war prisoner. Instead, let's use this as fuel to spark the planning of the next blockade. Deirdre Clancy (Pitstop Ploughshares). read full story / add a comment

Was chatting to a member of Ográ Sinn Féin over the weekend and I brought up the Coca-Cola boycott issue with him and some of the problems I had with the party’s stance on the issue. He told me that the party had not had a policy stance on the matter when the referendum took place in UCD and so members were relatively free to take what stance they wished. He went on to claim that this was no longer the case and that at an Ard Comhairle meeting last week the Ard Comhairle had overwhelmingly voted to adopt a position of supporting the boycott campaign. I expressed surprise at this making the point that there had been nothing in the media about it and no statements from the party on it. He could offer no explanation for this but he was very sure that the decision was taken. So basically, I am looking to see if anyone else has heard the same thing and what effect does this have on those members of the party’s Ard Comhairle who openly opposed the boycott campaign? read full story / add a comment
