Yesterday night the switch was flicked on one of the largest satellite arrays on the planet. Named after Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen the system brings together his dilletentism or whims as a mega-geek & the anglo-saxon culture industrially vital world of SETI and the very murky US involvement in deep Space radio telescope exploration in one project with one stated aim :- The search for intelligent Alien life. I'm going to treat today's "system booting" as a piece of tech-news & come at it from the ever reliable anti-trust angle. Thus I hope to raise awareness of the capitalist & philosophical elements of the project rather than spurn the "tinfoil hat" brigade onto anything sillier than they've achieved mostly not by being too suspicious or paranoid but rather by not putting their theories in social or historical context. To that end I'll mix news with a bit of analysis & bit of opinion. ... read full story / add a comment

Turkish Special Forces recently carried out a covert killing of Kurdish Village Guards, state sponsored miltias. This was blamed on the Kurdish Freedom Fighters of the PKK and publicised worldwide. But the truth is that this massacre was carried out by the Turkish authorities, as a pre text to a full scale planned invasion of Kurdistan that is being discussed by Turkish authorities tonight and will be presented to the Turkish parliament tomorrow. ... read full story / add a comment

It is scarcely enough to make a gesture towards mental patients and the mentally ill on one day of the year only. However, to mark World Mental Health Day (10 October 2007) I am posting an article which I wrote quite a few weeks ago to suggest to indymedia readers the extent of real globalisation in establishment efforts to overcome the problem of mental illness. However, as with globalisation in other areas, the question arises of how far we are on the right track? ... read full story / add a comment

this started as a letter to my philosophy lecturers expressing my disatisfaction about the passiveness of acadmic philosophy. Then i got carried away and started to spew my frustrations about youth orientated consumerism. I never hear this subject, that i believe is the root to most of the flaws in society today, debated in the media. I sent it to the major newspapers but got no response. Maybe some of you could give me your views. ... read full story / add a comment

The upcoming "OneMillion Voices" Music event by the One Voice Organisation violates the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) Boycott criteria and is a "Normalisation Project" that enables injustice and Human rights violations to become normalised to the mainstream, according to Electronic Intafada. ... read full story / add a comment

White Water Shopping Centre is at the centre of an ongoing drama in Newbridge, County Kildare. The developer's, Ballymore Properties, have reneged on their promise to build a 6-screen cinema as part of the massive White Water Shopping Centre. Instead they have tried for over a year to change the cinema space to retail space. They have tried every trick in the book to do so. Here's an outline. ... read full story / add a comment

This week saw a state wide campaign launched in Italy to stop anorexia nervosa the psychological eating condition which overwhelmingly but not exclusively is suffered by women. There have been many campaigns to stop anorexia since the condition first gained prominence just around post-war period when Europeans generally had enough to eat again. But the campaign launched by Oliviero Toscani of Benetton notoriety could just as easily be accused of body fascism & means something more. ... read full story / add a comment

In his column in the Irish Times, the Washington Post's opinionator Charles Krauthammer has said that General Petraeus can defeat Al-Qaeda in Iraq. I disagree! Far from defeating Al-Qaeda, the US occupation provides Islamist fighters with ideal terrain on which to recruit and train to overthrow Mr Bush’s friends in the house of Al-Saud, and does nothing to prevent Al-Qaeda cells elsewhere from planning attacks elsewhere. Krauthammer’s comments bear no resemblance to the realities of fighting Al-Qaeda, and every resemblance to a propagandum formulated by the White House to justify a military strategy whose chances of success are next to nil. Krauthammer tells us nothing about Iraq, and everything about Washington. Whte House staff are sure to go on vigorously propagating this implausible "We can defeat Al-Qaeda in Iraq" message in the media in coming months. My counter-analysis provides a copyright-free debunker for reuse as needs arise. ... read full story / add a comment

The preamble to 'V':- "My Father still reads the dictionary every day. He says your life depends on your power to Master words" Arthur Scargill, Sunday Times, 10th January 1982. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Scargill 'V', by Tony Harrison is no means his definite statement on or deconstruction of the systems of power that mitigate against people, that would involve a look at his entire work, which include his use of the Leeds vernacular in 'The Mysteries', his Translations of Seneca, which informed the 'Theatre Works', his defence of ordinary people in Bosnia, Bradford, northern ireland and his television collaborations which are collected in 'The Shadow of Hiroshima and other film poems' But in the last week the bogeys of the Thatcherite era have been re-surfacing in photo and press and contemporarising for the neo-cons..

Open letter to Minister John Gormley TD. The letter outlines how Limerick County Council's motor tax office have forced me off the road and are now failing to take responsibility for my plight. It is a complaint to the Minister, in the hopes that he may help to resolve the situation. I have not had an acknowledgement from the Minister's department yet in relation to my email. I have circulated my letter to a number of newspapers and it remains to be seen if they publish its contents. ... read full story / add a comment |
