international / rights, freedoms and repression / other press Monday June 19, 2006 17:39 by gan
Welcome to the twenty-first century, welcome to social retrogression and the new barbarism – primitive theological values and barbarism have temporarily stolen the post-modern age. Quite an irony in today’s highly advanced society but the reality of barbarism and retrogression are undeniable. The world’s most advanced technological nation is a perfect example. America has succumbed to theological ideology and all the bigoted, avaricious, violent values associated with primitive religion and barbarism. A crusader, a mental deficient who fancies himself a ‘holy’ knight of the Middle Ages battling the forces of ‘evil’, leads the USA; a literal mental retard and social regressive leads the world’s ‘leading’ nation. read full story / add a comment

I am asking the question because of the outright inadequacy of mental health services and integrationist services to cater for the needs of people with health problems particularly mental health problems..... I recall an Irish Penal Reform Trust meeting.....a Forensic Psychiatrist and his wise words about mental health definititions. The categories of say bipolar equate the same in the outside world and within the hospital implying that a lot of what is termed Psychiatric are in fact social problems. I have written an 18 page essay dealing with this topic over two centuries. Anxiety can take you by the throat if you suffer from what is named episodic........Listen to your patients and fight for the funding to provide an adequate medical service and perhaps have less people walking the streets and begging............I have heard that if you have mental health problems in the US, you are 4 times more likely to be shot by the police.... Where is the Barr Tribunal Report......What is holding it up? Why was John Carty show. Where were the social services and the doctors....... The Morris Tribunal has reported. Let's clearn up the act and hear what Mr. Justice Barr has to say..... Michelle read full story / add a comment

According to a report in the Sunday Tribune, cheap fags peddled around Ireland have dangerous amounts of chemicals - six times as much lead as in regulated cigarettes and high levels of arsenic. "Fake cigarettes seized by Customs in the North contained 160% more tar, 80% more nicotine, and 133% more carbon dioxide than genuine cigarettes." read full story / add a comment

America, they refer to the Underclass. Medical Services in Ireland are harnassed by the divide - you pay or you don't.......therein is the obscurity as to how to have hope and get the best treatment..... I note Patient's Together are mobilising to challenge Professor Drumm and the HSE scandal of overcrowding in Accident and Emergency. I am hearing too much about suicide. I am encountering a degree of medical arrogance that I can no longer accept. I wonder have people experienced similar problems. We are not hearing about all the suicides.....i.e. those involving the Luas for example or the out of the ordinary number in Finglas at the moment. What is the system saying......Are they confining us to no Hope and the undersclass category. read full story / add a comment

By Nicola Byrne Sunday June 18, 2006 The Observer Staff working at Shannon Airport are being pressed to report any evidence they see of trafficking of prisoners by the US military. It follows the discovery by a cleaner last Sunday of a manacled soldier on board a US civilian aircraft at the airport. The incident has proved highly embarrassing for the Irish government, which had always accepted assurances that no such traffic passed through its airports. Foreign Minister Dermot Ahern has now signalled that gardai may carry out random checks of US planes using the airport, but in the absence of any concrete decision human rights groups have asked staff at Shannon to report anything out of the ordinary. 'Only for the vigilance of one worker, we still wouldn't know for certain what we have long suspected - that prisoners are been transported through Ireland by the American authorities,' said Fintan Lane of the Irish Anti-War Movement. 'We are now depending on staff at Shannon to report more incidents. It's the only way we can find out what is being carried on US military aircraft at this point.' read full story / add a comment

Encouraging students to get involved in politics, representation, activism and campaigning is a funny business. In an ideal, perfect situation, you wouldn't have a division between encourager and encouragee; no-one should need to drum up interest among others or to have a position of 'managing' student involvement. But we don't live in that world, and it's perfectly usual to see students' unions, political 'youth wings', campaign groups and so on trying to encourage 'others' to get involved. read full story / add a comment

"This is the most dangerous legislation that has ever come before the House because it seeks to deprive people of the power to make observations and objections in regard to planning matters." (Deputy Michael Ring T.D.) "If local people cannot have an input into the planning process, they will see their local councillors as being irrelevant."
