In the last six months nationlist partys in Europe have contested many elections and have surprised many international commentators by their increased share of both left and right wing votes. It is quite apparant that many parties with nominally "left sounding" propaganda have profited electorally from the uncertainty facing new €uropeans at this stage of "neo-liberal globalisation". They seek to find "local" solutions to problems first formulated in the 19th century which in many ways have now been superceded. This is in many ways natural, but it also poses a series of questions. The most important of which may be: "¿are we ready to transcend the _local_ nationalist prejudice model?" ... read full story / add a comment

The BB2 programme currently screening is a tired rehash, reinforcement of the Warren Commission's findings. The programme promised to use up to date computer graphics to analyse the Zepruder film in depth, but failed to show or explain the Zepruder film in its entirety. Failing to explain the moment the president's head is hit from in front, causing a massive exit wound at the back of the Presidents' head, which effectively blows off the back of the president's scalp. ... read full story / add a comment

It has been long observed that people for some reason on their non-banking days readily absorb shite about Dangerous Places, Famous People, Sensible Saving Options, Holidays, Interesting facts, Sport results, Media, gardening and health as well looking at the “issues” including why the Greek Judicial system is being permitted to allow five people imprisoned on the flimsiest of evidence to die. what is the northern ireland assembly really, and how can we persuade the White House to send us Bush for more than week. ... read full story / add a comment

Despite being one of the most important northern elections for some time, the absence of real discussion on Indymedia about the forthcoming Assembly elections has been quite amazing. Has there been any feature pieces on the election during the last number of weeks? Appart from a couple of SF, SP and SEA postings has there been any substantial discussion or debate? Would a southern election equally fail to generate much coverage? Is there a partitionist mindset among regular Indymedia contributors? In order to provoke a debate about the elections, likley outcomes and consequences for the peace process I have posted an interesting article by BBC correspondent Mark Davenport. While his views are often way off the mark, this piece has much merit. Let the debate flow... ... read full story / add a comment

When the WTO talks collapsed North American neo-libs turned their attention to the FTAA - the new, improved NAFTA. While in ireland most people are seeing pictures of London and hearing of the anti-Bush protests there, the ongoing reduction in free speech in the US means that even on that side of the Atlantic they aren't hearing about the thousands protesting in Miami. ... read full story / add a comment

An essay by Stan Goff featured on Counterpunch in order to publicise his new book should make interesting reading for anyone that believes that the only people that are anti-war are granola-munching do-gooders. Stan Goff served in Vietnam and by his own account was completely embedded in two successive tiers of behaviour and belief-systems. ... read full story / add a comment

international / eu Monday November 17, 2003 - 16:51 by a lonely IMC Editor
A new European constitution is now proposed that ignores civil society. This constitution consecrates neoliberalism as the official doctrine of the EU. It makes competition the basis for European community law, and indeed for all human activity. The constitution completely ignores sustainable development, gives Nato a role in European foreign policy and defence, and pushes for the militarisation of the EU. It puts the market first, marginalises the social sphere, and accelerates the destruction of public services. This draft constitution does not meet our aspirations. ... read full story / add a comment
