Topics might include politics, work, history, culture, war, a bit of theory, some sex, some drugs, some music and frequent tubthumping for the free association of producers. ... read full story / add a comment

The PKK were included in 2002 on the list of terrorist organisations held by the EU. It's a long list. But the decision has now been anulled by the second highest judicial bench in Europe which sits in Luxembourg. There are complex (as always) reasons for this. Without going into it too much, & thus distracting you from reading the judgement in its entirety, I'd just mention the non-desirability of seeing a post-US occupied Iraq divided between Turkey and Iran after the former argued they were containing the PKK terrorists. ... read full story / add a comment

People who have spent long periods on neuroleptic medication are familiar with the deadening effect it produces, its effect on physical well-being. It requires the utmost in personal resources to maintain any kind of fulfilling or enjoyable lifestyle while taking these drugs. Proof of this is the widespread issue of non-compliance where mental patients are concerned. Plainly the main reason why mental patients resist taking prescribed medication is that all of the medications including newer ones like Risperdal are unpleasant and debilitating. ... read full story / add a comment

The March/April issue of the magazine History Ireland contains a major article on Irish anarchists in the late nineteenth-century that should be of interest to today's anarchist activists. The title is '"Practical anarchists, we": social revolutionaries in Dublin, 1885-7' In Ireland and Britain in the 1880s, the Fenians occupied the demonic role of 'terrorists' in the recesses of the bourgeois mind, and less attention was paid to terrorists of the radical left. Historian Fintan Lane relates how anarchists, though scarcely noticed, were nevertheless active in Ireland and argued openly for social revolution, though not for 'individual terror'. History Ireland is on sale in Eason's across the country. ... read full story / add a comment
