The victory is a confirmation of Chavez's policies of targeting the needs of the poor with the huge profits from the country's oil industry. Until Chavez's election most of these profits went into tax breaks for the middle and upper classes in Venezuela. ... read full story / add a comment

Bengemin Disraeli said that there were three kinds of statistics- Lies, Lies, and damn Lies. The Irish Government has been manipulating statistics of late. So now we are told there were only 6 complaints made by peace activists about suspicious US aircraft at Shannon? There were at least 60 such complaints, many in writing and many more verbal. Shannon Gardai now claim that it is necessary to come to Shannon Garda station to make a complaint, otherwise they refuse to acknowledge it. So if your neighbout is being murdered, or raped, and you ring up to inform the gardai at Shannon will they ignore your call. The people of Iraq and Afghanistan are our neighbours. ... read full story / add a comment

As Ahern does his best false outrage, he also quielty suggest he will ban the Guantomano Express from Ireland. A plane he described yesterday as more likley coming here for a golfing holiday, yet now he agrees to ban it, what other planes will be on this list and how will he ban them from Irish airspace if civilian planes don't need to give notice. http://www.rte.ie/news/2006/1129/cia.html In his written submission the the cmttee he desrcibes how many thousands of planes go through Ireland and the Gardai have investigated 6 complaints (It was 4). http://foreignaffairs.gov.ie/Press_Releases/20061130/22...2.htm ... read full story / add a comment

Isn't it strange that when in sniffing distance of getting back into power the local parties shy away from association with opposition to separate water charges. Is the thought of missing out on the double tax so hard to swallow. Maybe the truth is as suspected that all allong the likes of the DUP SF really agreed with the policy. ... read full story / add a comment

The most immediately striking thing about Guillermo del Toro’s latest film “El Laberinto del Fauno” (Pan’s Labyrinth) is that it is entirely in Spanish with English subtitles yet still draws large crowds in Dublin’s ordinary multi-screen cinemas. The film, a mixture of fantastic fairy-tale and dramatic account of life in post civil war Spain, follows the journey of a highly imaginative young girl called Ofelia. Ofelia’s mother has married a sadistic fascist army Captain, who is engaged in a battle with local guerrillas throughout the film, and she is forced to move to his remote outpost despite a complicated and pregnancy. ... read full story / add a comment

If a high dose of radiation element, Polonium 210, can be a tool of quick assassination, lower doses (as in typical cigarettes) are no less tools of homicide. Ask health officials, et al, why Po-210 is still permitted in cigarettes, with zero warning to anyone. Ask why smokers and Pub Proprietors bear the burdens of law, but the cig makers, ingredient suppliers, and complicit regulators go free. ... read full story / add a comment

Pierre Gemayel (zh?m?'?l) was the leader of the Kataeb, the fascist Maronite Christian Phalangist party. These are anti-arab race supremacists who hark back to the good old colonial days when the French put them in charge of the 'wee province' of Lebanon they had partitioned off from Syria. In those days the favoured Maronites were at the top of the racial hierarchy which the French used to secure their control. ... read full story / add a comment

The Poker-wielding one: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/76928 has advanced the theory that a law will soon be launched to endow the eunuchs of the nation the right to defence of property: "Sure you cannot take it with you..." This funny little law by the Minister for Injustice brings to mind the right of all American Citizens to bear arms- and we can see how well that turned out. ... read full story / add a comment

About 1,150 Non National parents of Irish Born Children, who had previously been denied the right to stay for various reasons under the IBC/05 Administrative Scheme, won a landmark case at the High Court on Tuesday November 14, 2006. The presiding Judge, Ms Justice Mary Finlay Geoghegan said the Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform had breached the rights of several Irish-born children under both the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights Act in how he considered the applications for leave to remain here of their parents, the judge quashed the Minister's refusals in all but one case. The decision relates only to non-national parents of children born before January 1st, 2005. ... read full story / add a comment

Scientists who study human evolution have discovered the evolutionary origins of morality. The concept of morality exists in every culture on Earth, but the morals themselves are different, which causes a lot of conflict in the world. Now that the Democrats own the U.S. Congress, I’m sure that conflict is about to get very interesting… ... read full story / add a comment |
