President Trump compared Keir Starmer's UK to Communist China after the Government ordered Apple to give it backdoor access to users' encrypted data. This isn't far-fetched, says Frederick Attenborough: it exposes us all.

If European states don't want to be treated as enemies of the US they're going to have to retreat from the war they've been waging on behalf of Washington's old regime and disarm their censorship machines, says N S Lyons.

Trump's art of the deal always has been to ask for everything, judge the point at which the other party has made his final offer and then take what he can get, says Ramesh Thakur. That's what he's doing with Ukraine.

African immigrants in London are now sending their children off to boarding school in Ghana and Sierra Leone to escape London's deadly black gang-culture. England it seems is no longer a safe country, says Steven Tucker.

This is the first chapter of Book II.

A lot of ground covered here, there's a cast of billions. George Bush makes an appearance, so does Tony Blair and even Jesus himself has a part to play. There's psychology, sociology and an examination of fear. Phase space is looked at (in a non visual fashion) and a better plan to end Global Terrorism is suggested to GWB than the one he currently uses. Likens apathy to phase space. ... read full story / add a comment

The appointment of Mr Gay Byrne as Chairman of the Road Safety Authority must be a welcomed appointment if only to see in time a respected public figure walk away from a charade that appears to have more emphasis placed on securing revenue rather than saving lives. We all know Gaybo will give it his very best, once what he is doing or saying finds a pleasurable interest and approval by those in the corridors of power. Some like him,some hate him but one thing is sure, if Gay walks away then we can safely assume that there is something rotten and wrong with the institution and the bodies surrounding it that alligiedly place the interest of every citizen of the state as aa priority above all else. ... read full story / add a comment

In this article the case is made that once the disastrous consequences of Climate Change and Peak Oil begin to bite that Great Britain will almost certainly re-invade the whole of Ireland again to gain access to our land and agricultural resources to help either supply the mainland and also to transfer some of it's population here. The timeline for this could be within the next decade or so. And why Ireland? Quite simply because we are so near. Why not? And how ironic it would be if this happened to occur in 2016? ... read full story / add a comment

What is worse is the element of trust that is breached. Why do people do such things to other people. Is the motive purely money or is there a hidden inadequacy and jealousy with them.

Has anyone ever been conned? Years ago when there was less access to media and press coverage there was a kind of human connection network that kept people informed and warned.

Today Good Friday 2006, marks the 75th anniversary of the declaration of the 2nd Spanish Republic.

In its short life it brought hope, inspiration, creative solutions, the values of fraternity, liberty, equality to countless people who had lived in near feudal conditions through dictatorship.
It's "firsts" were many-
free education, free health care, over 50% of the arable land organised in autonomous collectives, the first parliamentary representation by anarchists, the first political radio broadcasts, the first Catalan & Basque republics were declared as an associate component within it's state architecture.

All too quickly it fell, as the first victim of European fascism.
we may never forget this Republic & it ought inspire every Republican today ... read full story / add a comment

This weekend, Ireland is the site of much parading and rhetoric about independence, sovereignty and freedom, as many commemorate the blood sacrifice of hundreds of men and women who participated in the "1916 Rising".

Currently, Ireland facilitates the passage of 900 US troops per day on their way to an imperial war in Iraq, and back again (sometimes in bodybags, often wounded). CIA flights through Shannon and Baldonnell airports have been documented by consciencious citizens.

The Irish police harrasse and intimidate such citizens, and leave all planes (through a civilian airport in the case of Shannon), untouched or actively guard them.

A majority of the people of Ireland oppose the Coalition occupation of Iraq, but the Irish government they elect, prefers to sign away Ireland's supposed sovereignty, to Empire.

Is there any government that cannot be bought? any principle that is not for sale?

Last week was the anniversary of the assassination of US civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4th, 1968. Dr. King's philosophy was one of non-violence, and this article looks at the alternative views of Malcolm X which are not aired quite so frequently. ... read full story / add a comment

Part 4

The film had a complicated gestation but heavily involved the majority of the original Indymedia Ireland gang. We came back from working with Indymedia Italy in Genoa all fired up and determined to start an Indymedia in Ireland. Almost five years ago that was now.

The Protests against the G8 in July 2001 in Genoa Italy were the biggest and most significant protests in Western Europe since the Poll Tax riots in the UK. Italian Prime Minister Sylvio Berlusconi, wanting to impress his new best mate George W. Bush, orchestrated a brutal Media/Police preemptive strike on the Anti-Capitalist Movements' biggest First World mobilisation to date. When the weekend of protests ended Carlo Guiliani was dead and a school full of sleeping activists had been attacked in what is popularly referred to as the 'Chilean Night'.

The film traces the events of the three days of protests in detail and poses the question - Was it all a setup? If Seattle was 'Star Wars' then this is 'The Empire Strikes Back'. It is made from a combination of footage of the Genoa protests against the G8 shot by 10 members of IMC Ireland, material from the Italy IMC Archives and material from various other sources. This compelling footage combined with on the spot interviews and reenacted voiceover commentary and analysis from various websites which were active during the protests provides a in-depth blow by blow retelling of the story of the three days of the Genoa protests against the G8.

The film will be available on DVD in the run-up to the fifth anniversary of the Genoa protests. Watch this space for details. ... read full story / add a comment
