President Trump compared Keir Starmer's UK to Communist China after the Government ordered Apple to give it backdoor access to users' encrypted data. This isn't far-fetched, says Frederick Attenborough: it exposes us all.

offsite link A Diplomatic Dust-Up for the Ages Wed Mar 05, 2025 09:00 | Ramesh Thakur
Trump's art of the deal always has been to ask for everything, judge the point at which the other party has made his final offer and then take what he can get, says Ramesh Thakur. That's what he's doing with Ukraine.

A principal failure if not the major failure of the U.S. administration is its failure to comprehend the nature of post-modern reality, especially post-modern warfare. The U.S. war ‘machine’ is an antiquated beast run by the mentally impaired. Dangerous and angry old men (past failures) do not good leaders/advisers make! read full story / add a comment

international / arts and media / opinion/analysis Thursday October 19, 2006 17:57 by Movie Fan
Clint Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers" does a most difficult and brave thing and does it brilliantly. It is a movie about a concept. Not just any concept but the shop-worn and often wrong-headed idea of "heroism."

The movie performs this task amid the fog of war on Iwo Jima in 1945, when the Associated Press' Joe Rosenthal took the iconic photograph of six American servicemen raising Old Glory on Mount Suribachi. The movie deconstructs that moment, shattering it into a jigsaw puzzle of flashbacks and flash-forwards, to explore how that photograph turned into a major prop of the U.S. government's war bonds campaign and how the government designated the three surviving flag raisers as "heroes."

In May of this year a father of four was jailed for two weeks for contempt of orders made in family law proceedings brought by his wife in the Circuit Court. His habeas corpus application was successful after Justice Smith in the High Court commented that the manner in which he was jailed contained "worrying features". He was freed on condition that he initiate Judicial Review proceedings to resolve the important issues raised. read full story / add a comment

There is a very saying. Come progress, come poverty.

During the last census in Ireland, it was spoken about in the Joe Duffy Liveline. It outlined the wealth and the illusion of the everlasting Tiger but people doing the census forms told Joe Duffy of the poverty they experienced in many houses on their rounds.

Two weeks ago I was walking with my dog on the Canal, off Baggot Street, when a lady in distress sitting on a park bench crying - i stopped spoke to her and listened intently to her story. The lady told me come October 10th at 10.00 p.m. the Sherriff was coming on behalf of the landlord with an order of ejection.

It intrigued me that the word 'EVICtion.....is not being used now. I took some particulars off the lady and made no promises. Two days later I met a barrister friend of mine. He asked me how long she lived in her flat. I said 27 years. He replied she has rights under the 1980 Act section 17.

Ireland has a company heavily invested in the Caspian sea's oilfields belonging to Turkmenistan. The corrupt and brutal nature of this dictatorship should preclude any ethical company from investing and yet Dragon Oil plc is almost totally dependent for its existence on a Production Sharing Agreement with this repressive regime. read full story / add a comment

international / crime and justice / other press Wednesday October 18, 2006 05:53 by barra
The answer is blowing the Constitution and Bill of Rights out the window – the Triads, Mafia, Latino, Cuban groups and various South American drug cartels all have something to learn from Cheney and Bush; in fact, they look positively tame in comparison. When confronted with accusations (and proof) of murder, torture, theft/plunder, illegal surveillance, etc, on levels traditional organised crime could only dream of, what is the recourse of neo-cons? Legislate and change the Law (it’s an ass anyway). Simply legalise activities that were once considered crimes and criminalise those who oppose or disagree! There’s nothing that compares to stealing government – computerised voting, subterfuge, lies, fabricated terrorist threats and THE POWER TO LEGISLATE – it’s just too damn easy! read full story / add a comment
