Ian Clarke (the inventor of, among many other things, Freenet) has been singled out by a notorious US journalist that helped take down the US cracker Kevin Mitnick. The Freenet Project, involves a way to organise the distribution of information anonymously across computer networks in order to ensure anonymity. Now Clarke is being set up by NYT journalist John Markoff as a target of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with claims that Freenet is not about freespeech and anonymity, but actually about trading copyrighted material. Slashdot also has a discussion on the matter which refutes this. read full story / add a comment

Dear Friends.

Well, as stated, I am now to keep an online activist dairy. {This initial intro will be more extensive}. It will detail thoughts, political writings, poetry and much more, and at times it will be very heartfelt and personal.

Some detailing the past, while most being in relation to ongoing issues that I and others are involved in. It will also give the lighter side of life, and times and events as yet unaccounted for.

The dairy shall be updated on a monthly basis and will incorporate many issues of interest to activists, but also giving those personal thoughts and experiences

Therefore my first entry as attached. Davy Carlin. read full story / add a comment

87% of the world's opium grown in 2004 was grown in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan has succeeded in growing more opium than in any other recorded year.

131,000 hectares of the country supplied the raw material for heroin addicts everywhere, this is an area a little smaller than the size of Leitrim, or if you prefer a little smaller than both counties Carlow and Louth together. read full story / add a comment

In his column in The Irish Times of July 30, 2005, the paper’s long-standing America correspondent Conor O’Clery reports that coverage in the US media of the case of a missing young white female has been overshadowing and displacing coverage of more significant news stories, such as genocide in Darfur and fraud in the presidential elections of November 2004.

Web sites such as Harper's and The Free Press provide background information and ongoing coverage of the election fraud. See links below. read full story / add a comment

As most are now aware, the 4th July 21 London bombing suspect was arrested in Rome, but is not an i-t-a-l-i-a-n. He's an african. It appears the bombing cell were african, and not pakistani after all. It might emerge that the July 7 bombing had more to do with Africa than Madrasses after all.
No matter Pakistan still loses the income of 1,400 foreign students.

However the purpose of this thread is not to speculate, nor to condemn, nor to put any suspect to the trial of media. For Rome is Rome, and i-t-a-l-i-a-n-s do not practise British or anglo-saxon or its close relative irish law. read full story / add a comment

The UK has recently undergone a social regression to a period in its history (many centuries past) when summary executions by the King’s representatives were common fair. Performing summary executions in the street is not new in England; this practice, however, was determined by the ancient powers to be counter productive – more revolts resulted from this practice than subjection/subjugation. But today, Blair’s England panders more to the racist sentiments of its people than good political sense. So be it, history has already dictated the inevitable outcomes. read full story / add a comment
