Don't be fooled by the headlines and the fancy graphics. The US is not worried about Iran's nuclear weapons programme. They would have taken more serious steps by now if they were. It's part of the War for Oil series. The main oil countries, or even pipeline countries will be included - Saudi Arabia, Iran and Syria. And there's plenty of spin on the news to prepare public opinion for it. ... read full story / add a comment

'Jason is special to me because he has a disability and is different from other people. Since he’s been born he has not been able to see, hear, walk or talk. I know he is a gifted person because he got communion when he was 18 years old, and he received it on my sister’s birthday. I watch Jason when my mom is doing things around the house. I hold him on my lap and hug him because he is so little. Sometimes I give him his drink after supper. I taught Jason to drink by himself. I don’t like it when he pulls my hair but he doesn’t seem to understand.’ This is a quotation from a personal account by Lizzie Suwala on the Sibling Support Project website and she was 9 years old when she wrote it. ... read full story / add a comment

Japan, after consideration and debate over a two year peiod, looks set this year to alter it's pacifist enshrined constitution. The Japanese government while clearly more right leaning and nationalistic than of late, clearly echoes the sentiment of a certain proportion of the Japanese people. With the North Korean nuclear threat and the ever growing strength of China, Japanese people could be forgiven for being somewhat insecure, However it is mainly because of the US backing prime minister Koizumi has received that he has felt as secure in throwing his weight about recently in south east asia. ... read full story / add a comment

Judge Macken appears to have put off returning a judgement for the Judicial Review I began the same week I spray-painted a USAF C-130 warplane at Shannon Airport until this autumn. That'll make it four years since the day the President of the High Court granted me leave to seek a judicial review of Ireland's part in the Afghanistan war, 12 September 2002. ... read full story / add a comment

Yippee its non banking day, the Sunday Papers is published this week on a Sunday, keen readers will recall the last edition the "Fatwa Edition" was published at midnight 21/7/05 local barcelona time. It has now been 209 days since Ireland had her first tornado of the current age. & and our neighbours in the same climate zone (the Engurlish) have had this week suffered that lamentable Hand of God action which saw many homes in the south of Birmingham left without roofing tiles. But because these were god fearing people there were no deaths or serious injuries. ... read full story / add a comment

The killing on 22 July, of a 27-year old Brazilian electrician Jean Charles de Menezes at a tube station in south London is a blatant example of state terrorism. From what has transpired, any unbiased person could understand that, what happened that day was a pre-planned cold-blooded murder by the police or the military. ... read full story / add a comment |
