:["The wife and five children of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet were arrested on Monday on tax evasion and fraud charges as part of an investigation into secret, multimillion dollar bank accounts. Officials of the court who asked not to be identified said Judge Carlos Cerda ordered the arrest of Pinochet's wife, Lucia Hiriart, and their children on charges of filing "maliciously incomplete" and false tax declarations involving millions of dollars. Cerda also ordered the arrests of Monica Ananias and Oscar Aitken, a personal secretary of Pinochet and the former executor of Pinochet's will."]: read full story / add a comment

4.00pm - Anarchism, the State and Justice Can justice really be achieved if we get someone else to do it on our behalf – a lawyer, an NGO, a priest or a political leader? Are the means we use to achieve social justice as important as achieving social justice itself? And how important are the different political philosophies – reformism, nationalism, republicanism, and socialism - in getting to our goals? From the same tradition that inspired Emma Goldman, Mahatma Gandhi, Noam Chomsky, and Leo Tolstoy, the Workers Solidarity Movement set out the case for Anarchism. read full story / add a comment

US ‘intelligence’ agencies now realise the ‘Bin Laden’ tape has been a huge flop and the effect has been the reverse of that anticipated. It has also proven to be a monumental liability as people around the globe are now questioning the veracity of all allegations relating to Bin Laden and Al Qaeda; Howard and Blair beware, even the Arabs are questioning their ideological base. Well done Semitic ideologues, neo-cons and Straussians. External attacks are unnecessary, you are doing an excellent job on yourselves – no help needed or wanted! read full story / add a comment

This is yet another great interview with Des Dalton , Vice-President of Republican Sinn Fein, by Phil Taylor of The Taylor Report. Due to listener request Des was invited back after his initial interview. The Taylor Report is one of Canada's most popular progressive political discussion programs. Highly recommended! read full story / add a comment

Tariq Ali Tariq has been a significant figure in progressive politics since the sixties. His website is http://www.tariqali.org/ I found some difficulty getting into this, so bear with it. He is visiting Dublin on Feb 15 for a PANA sponsored meeting. The meeting will be in the ATGWU hall in Middle Abbey Street. The meeting will start at 7-00 sharp (the hall closes at 9-30). If any media people wish to interview Tariq there is a window of opportunity before the meeting. (Please contact Roger Cole on this.)I will pass on any requests to Roger. It is critical that this meeting is successful. Dublin is doing well in attracting alternative voices such as Noam Chomsky and Tariq. Please pass the word along to any of your contact lists.

The case resumes at eleven o clock ,in court eleven on Tuesday morning. The response to Meath County Council, the NRA and the State continues. Thank you to the campaigners, activists, heritage group reps and historians who have sat in court with us everyday. The lack of opposition spokespeople is noted. The case has been long and sometimes the risible claims of the oppostion have entertained everyone, I think the intention was to bore us to death ,in one particular case. I have not been able to report here due to constant interference with my line and the loss of my regular e-mail address at [email protected] If you can attend , please do. A meeting to discuss the legal case and other actions will be posted soon. Chris. read full story / add a comment

"F4J leader Matt O'Connor announced last night (January 17) that he was suspending the operations of the group pending enquiries into allegations contained on the cover of this mornings Sun Newspaper that 'extremist sympathisers' associated with the group had planned to kidnap the Prime Minister's Son, Leo Blair. F4J say they condemn any such action unreservedly and that the group is increasingly having it's name 'hijacked' by a growing number of militant extremists and that it would seriously consider the long term viability of the campaign. The group say that ex members have reportedly been in contact with the Anti-Terrorist Unit SO13 from Scotland Yard who said that activists would be shot on sight if engaged in any protests in Westminster." ____________________________________________ read full story / add a comment

After over 60 years since their theft, or 30 years since the death of the thief, or a little over a year since the court order to return them, 500 boxes of Spanish Civil War archives were transferred under armed guard in the last 24 hours from Salamanca via Madrid en route to Barcelona. An incident which did not occur without a near treasonous attempt to impede the lawful commands of the Spanish state by local authorities in Salamanca, Castille and Leon. The polemic and division in current Spanish society which focuses on the democratic wishes of the Catalans and their proposed "estatut"is part and parcel of what occured in Salamanca. _____________________________________ read full story / add a comment |
