offsite link Why Are Boys So Much More Right-Wing Than Girls? Wed Feb 26, 2025 09:00 | Noah Carl
Young men are increasingly voting for the right, while young women are increasingly voting for the left. What explains this? A Norwegian study finds that its largely due to shifting attitudes to "gender equality".

Another day, another 'report' from the Green Blob, this time from the CBI, gaslighting us with the claim that the 'green economy' is booming. What, you feel cold and poor due to sky high energy prices? You must be mad!

international / miscellaneous Thursday October 18, 2007 - 04:01 by jim travers
Back in February of this year (09-02-2007) I wrote an article in Indymedia about the Ireland, San Mario match and what I though was Ireland’s darkest day, until tonight or is it today going into tonight. Is it possible that Irish soccer could plunge to such a debt where the playing of such, was in itself an insult to the standard required in order for one to play on a pitch as fine as that which is in Croker. The Cyprus match has given us food for thought, not about Staunton but about the FAI itself. ... read full story / add a comment

Turkish Special Forces recently carried out a covert killing of Kurdish Village Guards, state sponsored miltias. This was blamed on the Kurdish Freedom Fighters of the PKK and publicised worldwide. But the truth is that this massacre was carried out by the Turkish authorities, as a pre text to a full scale planned invasion of Kurdistan that is being discussed by Turkish authorities tonight and will be presented to the Turkish parliament tomorrow. ... read full story / add a comment

In his column in the Irish Times, the Washington Post's opinionator Charles Krauthammer has said that General Petraeus can defeat Al-Qaeda in Iraq. I disagree!

Far from defeating Al-Qaeda, the US occupation provides Islamist fighters with ideal terrain on which to recruit and train to overthrow Mr Bush’s friends in the house of Al-Saud, and does nothing to prevent Al-Qaeda cells elsewhere from planning attacks elsewhere.

Krauthammer’s comments bear no resemblance to the realities of fighting Al-Qaeda, and every resemblance to a propagandum formulated by the White House to justify a military strategy whose chances of success are next to nil. Krauthammer tells us nothing about Iraq, and everything about Washington.

Whte House staff are sure to go on vigorously propagating this implausible "We can defeat Al-Qaeda in Iraq" message in the media in coming months. My counter-analysis provides a copyright-free debunker for reuse as needs arise. ... read full story / add a comment

Open letter to Minister John Gormley TD. The letter outlines how Limerick County Council's motor tax office have forced me off the road and are now failing to take responsibility for my plight. It is a complaint to the Minister, in the hopes that he may help to resolve the situation. I have not had an acknowledgement from the Minister's department yet in relation to my email. I have circulated my letter to a number of newspapers and it remains to be seen if they publish its contents. ... read full story / add a comment

This conference was organised by the Irish branch of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil to bring together people from government and the industry as well as some of those working to alleviate the problems. Unfortunately for a variety of reasons Cork Shell to Sea has so far been unable to gain entry but stimulated by the ideas presented on the ASPO website and our own experinces we put this leaflet together that we think raises points that anyone working in this area would do well to consider. This is the text, we plan to distribute this leaflet outside the conference later today and to write a further article in the next day or two. ... read full story / add a comment

Michael Mc Dowell, being back in the High Court defending the Rights of the Father
is awaiting judgement of the Mr 'G' case, in which a father has applied for return of his kids
from another jurisdiction (UK) and the right to be a father and to educate his children.
Another recent High Court case is being prepared to go to the Supreme Court regarding
the rights of a woman to use the eggs she is storing and to have the dad pay for the
future life and education of any child conceived as result of the process- the father
won citing the end of the marriage and irreconcilable difference. She is appealing.
Both cases involve:- Father's Rights to family and both are read for and judged
within the confines of the Catholic Constitution drafted by De Valera and of
course substanially amended by Archbishop Mc Quaid. The 'G' case should get loads of coverage. ... read full story / add a comment
