offsite link The Blob Has Sunk to New Depths in Its Quest to Destroy Educational Freedom Thu Feb 06, 2025 19:00 | Randall Hardy
The Blob has sunk to new depths in its quest to destroy educational freedom. No wonder, says Randall Hardy. It's only the right to withdraw children from the state system that restrains its worst indoctrinating tendencies.

I just want other peoples opinions, my local mace store have promotions, e.g. two for a reduced price or whatever, but these goods are charged at full regular rate at check out. Most people don't complain so i guess it goes smoothly and profitably.

To my shock this morning I complained, having being overcharged on at least one item each weekend for three weeks now. I bought surf breeze 1.1 kg, marked 2.69 on shelf, but 3.80 at till, complained after going back and checking, received a refund for the difference, but , to my amazement, that was it, no changes were made to till system, so the next person who picks up a box will be charged 3.80.

In a time when many people don't check receipts for small items, it is these little, ongoing rip offs that frustrate me. So please let me know if this policy is being practiced elsewhere, or just here. ... read full story / add a comment

The disengagement plan:
The previous and present Governments of Israel knew for fact that they do not want to keep Gaza and the Palestinians in Gaza under their control. The question was always when, how and to what price would Israel withdraw from Gaza. In the Post-Oslo era there was for Israel no reason why it shouldn't have withdrawn from Gaza and evacuate the settlements. The Atmosphere was ready, the détente was at its peak and Rabin and Peres (and Arafat) won the Peace Nobel price. The question in deed is: Why didn't Israel between 1995 and September 2000 withdraw from Gaza and evacuated the settlements?

The Palestinians can then wait till "they turn Finns"? ... read full story / add a comment

On the 6th of july the EU parliament rejected software patents, another step in the struggle for ideas & information.

It wasn't reported (by me) as it that time the G8 seemed more important, and the Irish MEP votes on this issue which effects all europeans and all users of indymedia were already long decided on "party political ground".

In the end 14 votes were cast in favour, 648 against and 18 abstentions. ... read full story / add a comment

Dear friends below I give details of some more of the various initiatives that Street Seen will be involved in, in the months ahead. Also I give an updated version for Indymedia on an article I had written a while back – more especially in relation to the last few days of great weather.

It talks about my increasing awareness and indeed growing love for nature and the environment. In youth such things I had not only not taken notice of, but if I had of, I believe I may not have spoken about it given the immediacy of war and the association with ‘manly’ peers of those times.

Indeed the immediate area of my childhood, that of the Turf, Murph, the Falls and surrounding area, is now the very same area that is bringing my senses alive through that appreciation of the environment and nature.

Firstly though a few upcoming initiatives of Street Seen. ... read full story / add a comment

The High Court meets again on Thursday at 10.00 am. There is confusion about what is preparation, constuction etc. etc. For the lay observer a call to rescind all project consents by the Minister might be in order at this point.
No mention at all of the QRA and if Shell has produced all the documents ordered by the Judge previously. Project splitting comes across as a very primitive procedure in this day and age. Now there are phases as well as splits and one wonders if the Minister has time for all of them and why the project comes in this format. Good job building a house does not come in splits and phases with the planning authorities. Now the floors, now the windows, now the septic tank......! ... read full story / add a comment

This is a compilation of links to many Indymedias,Anarkismo,resistance sites as well as corporate newspaper and T.V channel sites.
My experience at the G8 was liberating as well as intense,relaxing as well as stressful,empowering as well as frightening at times and most of all engendered in me the true meaning of solidarity as thousands upon thousands of activists poured in to resist the 8-man team who think they can destroy OUR world.
Thanks to all in the Iirsh Barrio,the Stirling Eco-Camp and the Scottish people for an unforgettable and educational 10 days.
Solidarity and thoughts to all those arrested trying to stop the gathering of murderers like Bush and Blair in the Highlands of Scotland.

If the brit government really believed and took al-ciaeda threats seriously.

Knowing the fact that they were dealing with rich ruthless disassociated cold blooded killers (trained by our own ruthless dissociated psychopaths at CIA black ops in Afghanistan in the 1980's, programmed and trained to kill and maim Russian soldiers mercilessly).

The security services should have put in place, body frisking and bag searching check points at the entrance of London tubes and on entering buses a long time ago. ... read full story / add a comment
