Recently I put the Pentagon Report on the threat to the environment and life on earth as we know it. Below I am posting another study this time by scientists that is even more devastating a criticism of capitalism's stewardship of the earth. I also make some comments and try to draw some conclusions. John Throne ... read full story / add a comment

I note that there is discussion on another thread about the size of yesterday’s anti-war march. I recall a similar discussion this time last year about the dimensions of the 15 February mobilisation —was there 80,000 or perhaps 200,000? I discovered yesterday that it is hard to be half-way accurate about such matters, much less definitive ... read full story / add a comment

It has long been valued that on their non-banking days people are pretty much the same as when they work, graft, toil and sweat. Except they have less money making opportunities. This facilitates their increased participation in their society as citizens and nationals of the Civilised World. Non ho avuto paura dei fascisti figurati se ho paura di te. ... read full story / add a comment

Big demo in Dublin today. Photos and video and reports on RTE website radio and TV, ireland.com, even the Indo. And what do we get on Indymedia? A press release from the Continuity IRA support group posted after the march saying that they are going to attend it. And reports from Shannon. No photos at all. Time to close down Indymedia. It is irrelevant and slow. If I can get better coverage of a demo on RTE and the corporate newspapers what is this place for? ... read full story / add a comment

On September 1, 2003, the Miami Herald reported that, "Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry...appeared to shift his stance on the trade embargo with Cuba on Sunday, telling a national television audience that he now supports keeping sanctions in place. Kerry's remarks, delivered on NBC's Meet the Press, seemed to contradict statements he made during a 2000 interview with the Boston Globe that a reevaluation of the embargo was 'way overdue.'" ... read full story / add a comment

LASTMarch, at the annual poodle show in the White House, the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern stood proudly beside the American president and purred. "The world acknowledges the United States, with its immense power, and its status as a beacon of justice and liberty, as a leader with the United Nations, " Ahern said, his little tail wagging like a dachshund just rescued from a puppy farm. ... read full story / add a comment

Before coming to Ireland, I was warned not to have any romantic notions about the ‘Emerald Isle’. My Irish friend had travelled to my home country of Canada and was aware that many Canadians, especially those of Irish ancestry, have notions of Ireland that are based on commercial hype about leprechauns and beer and on the nostalgic laments of The Chieftains and the Irish Tenors about rolling hills and a glorious past. He cautioned that Ireland was changing and that the nation is manifesting the most unfortunate symptoms of economic success. I shrugged off the warning because my hopes for Ireland went much further than commercial stereotypes and, admittedly, because I really wanted to believe. After all, I endured eighteen years in a North American suburb. ... read full story / add a comment
