As anyone that has followed the fortunes of the Shell to Sea campaign will know, under the often 'unflattering' luminance of the media spotlight, there appears an almost unhealthy association between some of those that 'strive' for impartiality and objectivity, whether it be in the media or in politics, and the corporation. read full story / add a comment

History records instances of powerful, belligerent nations invading and annexing weaker nations in their bid for world domination and plunder. Various pretexts are utilised to justify these attacks/invasions, the most familiar and infamous are the USS Liberty attack, the Tonkin Gulf incident and more recently the imaginary WMD 'threat'. These examples have one thing in common; they are all orchestrated in order to harness the public as a manageable resource to be used and abused by prevailing powers and to justify an otherwise illegal invasion or military aggression. Nations bent on world domination are extremely predictable; world domination is the folly of a powerful military and inept leadership – history is familiar with a multitude of conquering clowns known to us today as mass murderers. read full story / add a comment

The debate on the French Left about the forthcoming elections has parallels for the Left in Ireland – in particular for those leftwing Independent TDs and those on the Left who do not agree with supporting a government of the parties of the Right. In France the question is: should a united-left (anti-neoliberal) candidate support or be part of a government led by the Socialist Party (which will be a social-liberal or Blairite government)? In Ireland the question is similar: should the non-right-wing parties (Labour, Greens, Sinn Fein) be part of a government of the Right (FF, FG, PDs)? And should Independent TDs support a government of the Right? read full story / add a comment

A small number of Dáil candidates positioning themselves on the left rule out coalition with Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael, or doing side-deals. This number includes Séamus Healy (Tipperary South), a supporter of the Campaign for and Independent Left (CIL) and Joe Higgins (Dublin West) of the Socialist Party. I hope both these candidates are returned to the next Dáil, and that they are joined by like-minded deputies who will not sacrifice the left on the altar of social-liberal policies and its druids : Ahern, Kenny, Rabbitte and their colleagues. The issue may arise concretely after the May 2007 general election. Most opinion polls indicate that support for the two main conservative parties continues to fall significantly, a trend well-established since 1987. Similar problems confront the Left, worldwide.
