offsite link The Australian Perspective: Britain Is in Worse Shape Than You Thought Sun Mar 02, 2025 15:00 | Sallust
Australia is watching our "unmanaged decline" with a mix of dismay and pity, says Simon Heffer in the Telegraph. It seems Britain's decline isn't just obvious at home ? it's blindingly clear from 11,000 miles away.

‘ Nigerian Travels’

This video contains footage of Nigerian life such as a traditional marriage, Lagos street culture, tribal village gatherings, beach life, and birthday parties.

Hopefully this video will serve to break down barriers and misconceptions about Nigerian culture. It provides the viewer with the opportunity and space to consider an alternative side to the mainstream media’s coverage of this country.

Video was shot by Eddie The Rocket at various locations throughout Nigeria in the summer of 2004.

Benefit fraud hardly makes a ripple in the ocean, compared with our Government wasting billions of taxpayers money on pointless wars.

The government hands over billions of £ of taxpayers money to a few privately owned multinational arms dealer companies, for lucrative weapons contracts, just because their buisness associates and financers own shares in these companies and have vested interests in making profits through selling arms for war.
Corruption and fraud on a monumental scale. ... read full story / add a comment

Attempts to raise the constitutionality of Presidential elections in 1997 and recently via the papers and radio shows were completely ignored. The 1997 letter herewith outlines the thinking. A further aspect raised its head in the recent election, i.e. the denial by politicians of citizens right to stand for election and the coungy's right to elect their president. ... read full story / add a comment

A few weeks ago I took a walk with an Irish Setter belonging to my son who lives in Maynooth. On Holy Thursday a young Golden Retriever moseyed up to my back door and stayed for a little while. I don’t know about huskies and Dobermans - and I know that some small dogs (like some small people) can be quite vicious - but the two dogs I met were lovely. ... read full story / add a comment

This week the minster of Justice, Michael mc Dowell addressed the Garda Siochana (his police force) on several issues.
Improvements to their housing.
What he terms "SF/IRA" criminality with very special references made to two events outside the jurisdiction of his department in Northern Ireland of the UK.
And reminded everyone that he supports the GFA (to wash hands of ethnicity issues and crucify the Christ).

Meanwhile the local "experts" on the Good Friday thing had earlier the same Dail holiday weekend
spoken out against his policies.

He made no reference to either speed lasers or
the deportation of a young black chap in his school uniform to Nigeria last week. ... read full story / add a comment

The US occupation has damaged Iraqi civil society and infrastructure, fuelled terrorism and was carried out in the interest of capitalists rather than the Iraqi people. American capitalism has used the occupation to suppress workers rights and steal the natural resources of the country. Before the US invaded there weren’t any Islamist terrorist groups of any note in Iraq. Now there are, thus the secular nature of Iraqi society has declined under the occupation as secular forces are squashed between the Islamists and the US forces. ... read full story / add a comment

The weather is fluky here in Cooley today with rain and depression coming down. The following text may do something to lighten the spirits of indymedia readers.

Some people think that The Archbsihop is just another venal cleric. Others may say that he is only a cod. However no-one can deny that he has in abundance the unusual gift of seeing what is (blindingly?) obvious.

The following is a post factum reconstruction by Archbishop Michael Desmond ("Dessie") Hynes of a talk he gave to the fifth annual winter workshop organised by Cooley Environmental and Health Group. The workshop entitled "Organisation and Health" took place on the afternoon of 29 January 2005 in The Strand, Omeath, Co Louth. ... read full story / add a comment
