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 ahead at “upcoming issues”. Today is august, 8th month 2005. It is also Tisha B’Av or the 9th of Av, year of Moses 5765. It is also the 9th day of Rajab, 1426 since the Hegira. Today is historic because it sees the deadline for unilateral withdrawl from the Gaza strip of some 8000 plus living Israeli citizens and many of their dead. Today may also be historic as under extreme pressure from the USA the Iraqi government are supposed to present a draft constitution. ... read full story / add a comment

In a monstrous abuse of the powers of Government and the courts, the Rossport 5 remain in Jail. The five men from Mayo are now in their sixth week in jail, on foot of an injunction the High Court accorded to Shell ordering them not to obstruct Shell’s work on the pipeline across their lands. This work on the pipeline, it has been established, was and is illegal because Shell did not and does not have consents they needed from Minister Dempsey to proceed. ... read full story / add a comment

Palestinians have longed for the day when they could reclaim their occupied land and see Israeli settlers and occupation forces leaving it. Now that day has arrived, at least in Gaza and Jenin. This letter is a candid reflection of the thoughts and emotions going through Palestinians' hearts and minds as they see these representatives of oppression and occupation leaving their land. ... read full story / add a comment

Don't be fooled by the headlines and the fancy graphics. The US is not worried about Iran's nuclear weapons programme. They would have taken more serious steps by now if they were. It's part of the War for Oil series. The main oil countries, or even pipeline countries will be included - Saudi Arabia, Iran and Syria. And there's plenty of spin on the news to prepare public opinion for it. ... read full story / add a comment
