This video represents the many people not given a voice in the mainstream media.
They have been denied a voice mainly because of their dissenting views about the
Corrib gas project in its current form. There are interviews with many people who
have suffered both personally and financially for daring to oppose the oil and gas
industry. This industry has been supported by the various intimidatory and violent
methods used by the Garda. The mainstream media has consistently misrepresented the
facts, and has failed to report human rights abuses taking place in Mayo. It has
instead tried to demonise anybody who goes against their neo-liberal view-point on
how Ireland should be organized and structured. Most of the interviews were filmed over the last month. Thanks to all of the people who generously gave up their time and energy to make this no budget documentary. This is the first part of an ongoing documentary about the Corrib Gas Project. read full story / add a comment

Kieran Allen has just written an extensive article on the current global financial crisis. Here are the opening sentences on it. Most people are amazed to witness a new Wall St crash, when the spectacle of the 1929 crash was supposed to have vanished forever. For the past thirty years mainstream economists claimed that the market worked perfectly provided there was no state interference or strong trade unions. ‘You cannot buck the market’ was repeated like a mantra against anyone who dared to ask for higher wages, better environmental controls or a more developed welfare state. ‘Market forces’ were seen as wise spirits who knew best about how to run an economy. No one knew who or what they were but they appeared to work anonymously behind the scenes to make everything right. In almost every country, people were told to leave matters to these ‘market forces’ and not to seek too much regulation. In reality, these ‘market forces’ were gigantic financial houses which could move money around the globe at will. Today this mythology has been shattered. read full story / add a comment

I invite your hopefully much better suggestions in the comments read full story / add a comment

While many view these days with dread; the outset of climate crisis, political corruption and corporate manipulation blocking healthy change, lack of hope that things can change. Others are starting to see something profound emerging; a re-awakening, an eruption of activity, new and intelligent ways of human interaction. Ecologist Paul Hawken sees this phenoman as "the immune system of humanity finally kicking in" and calls it Blessed Unrest. As another bubble in all this, yesterday saw the first of 25 days of the first "Global Eco Forum"... read full story / add a comment

***Press Release*** Misrepresenting Animal Rights: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Although Irish organisations and individuals have sought to care for nonhuman animals for many years, animal rights advocacy ~informed by rights-based theory~ is a very recent development in Ireland. Grassroots animal rights advocates in Ireland intend to defend animal rights from the threat of neo-welfarism. read full story / add a comment

Ciaron O'Reilly discusses all your hardware needs in this three minute rough cut from a forthcoming film on activism in Ireland. Hammers, mattocks and other pieces of equipment are all weighed up by this seasoned activist. A shears (or even a scissors) does not make it out of the bag, so perhaps the film will act as a timely reminder of the need to raise funds for anti-war causes (in ways other than sponsored haircuts). read full story / add a comment

As Maura Harrington's hunger strike entered its second week today, a delegation of Shell to Sea kayakers travelled yet again to Killybegs, Co. Donegal, to establish contact with Shell's pipe-laying ship the Solitaire. The purpose of the mission was to make contact with the Solitaire's bridge, and to ascertain its intentions regarding its departure from Irish waters. However, the Shell to Sea delegation did not expect the Solitaire to run away from them, which is what it did, thereby refusing all contact with Shell to Sea. Maura Harrington's hunger strike will end when the Solitaire leaves Irish territorial waters, or else she will die. read full story / add a comment
