If one as an investigative journalist wants to stay alive, one way to do it is 'serving' the explosive information in portions. First fifty%, then 25, and the last 25% is a kind of 'life guard': used until a 'case of emergency' erupts, like when the journalist or whistleblower is "suicided". ... read full story / add a comment

The free movement of workers is claimed within the EU but now with reduced, curtailed rights, workers moving from one country to another find themselves discriminated against. In effect they are being recast as second class EU citizens, only achieving first class status when it comes to pay taxes. ... read full story / add a comment

It has long been observed, that on Sunday the mass does different things. Some go to church, some return from clubs and sleep, some read a book, some do the gardening, some catch up with their kids, some eat a lot, some practise yoga, some Vote. 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. It has long been observed that the mass on their non banking days readily absorb shite. This is why coups are most successful on the weekend, and elections as well. It is on your non-banking days that you are presented with the most filagree woven tissues of spirit and lie, ghost and truth. It is through weekend that we have considerable space in your head. In today's edition :- How Galicians voted & not voted. ... read full story / add a comment

Who has the best chance of forming the correct opinions about management in the police or in the health "service"? Is it the tub-thumping, opinionated politician with a big mouth and deaf ears? Has the individual worker a smaller brain or a less important personal life than "Mr Big" in the Health Service Executive (HSE)? ... read full story / add a comment

"I believe that spies, the security services, in the world generally, are becoming increasingly powerful and that our civil liberties are being eroded." Justin Keating. This article is an attempt to put flesh on those bones. I attempt to list some of those agencies active in Ireland, to list some of the powers they can and do use to make life difficult for those that cross them and to look at some of the technology they have access to. I put in two appendices too that hopefully show the controlling role of those agencies in Irish paramilitary groups and some international comparisons to this type of intelligence agency support for 'terrorist' groups that they are ostensibly opposing.

At the end of March, 2005, an injunction was granted to Shell (SEPIL) by the High Court restraining the defendants from refusing to allow pipe-laying on their lands. As of Tuesday last the period of injunction ended with the commencement of the legal proceedings proper, but again the high-profile Shell legal team managed to obtained a deferral for several further weeks. ... read full story / add a comment

I reprint an article I had written a few years ago that was carried in the main Northern Newspapers at that time. -Friends over the last weekend yet another two young men took there own lives in my local area. This is a growing tragedy that I must admit that when reading of such increasing growing deaths, it brings a lump to my throat.. For oneself I would have thought that those involved in the conflict would have found it more difficult to adjust {and many have}. Yet it seems teenagers and those in their twenties {the children of those at the forefront and brunt of the war} are finding it even more difficult. This is a situation that needs to be addressed and addressed urgently and many good community activists along with parents of those deceased are campaigning actively on this. The situation is getting worse and I believe that all support that can be, should be forthcoming to such campaigns, both in the forefront and in the background on this matter., ... read full story / add a comment

It has long been observed that on their non-banking days, people generally have more time to pursue their liberty & happiness, do their neverland things, enjoy the fruits of their labour, spend time with their family, relations, kids, friends. Some garden, some do long division sums, some protest, some even vote, some worry about themes of the day like War, Europe, Terminology, or indeed the themes of the immediate season - bird migration, global warming, Europe, War, sport or those which never go away such as Europe, War, whatever you understand by "babalon". ... read full story / add a comment
