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

Available in four parts as a pretty high quality download here (for the first time I think):
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
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

The Gardai are placing a lot of emphasis on speed, as if speed was the complete cause of our road fatalities. The Germans are showing us that speed is not the only problem associated with road fatalities.The problem we now have is that the Gardai are alienating themselves from law abiding people because they are being forced to penalise people because of regulations that the Gardai themselves cannot uphold. The vast majority of our people want to abide by the law but are being forced into direct conflict with the gardai because our road regulation have not been thought out properly. Help the Gardai fight crime.......would you be prepared to telephone if you were suddenly presented in the post with a speed fine for a road that could handle a Jumbo 747? ... read full story / add a comment

NIPSA’s right wing is attempting to re write history and is deliberately distorting the facts of the Civil Service pay dispute. This can only have the effect of compounding any negative outcome of the dispute with disorientation and demoralisation of NIPSA members. TFC is fighting against this by initiating an open and honest discussion about all aspects of the dispute. In this way a stronger united union can be built. This is intended as a contribution to a wider discussion amongst TFC activist and NIPSA members. ... read full story / add a comment

The Corrib gas project is synonymous with Shell, leading player in a consortium also featuring Statoil and Marathon Oil. While Shell as the dominant partner has played the biggest role so far in Corrib, there are many more companies involved in this discredited project. Most of the work on the project from the construction and design of the gas refinery to peat haulage and site security is subcontracted out to individual companies. ... read full story / add a comment
