Condoleezza Rice (finally) announced that she would visit the war torn Middle East in the near future – let’s not rush to the assistance of innocent civilians and perhaps even prevent a humanitarian disaster! Rice also dismissed any hope of brokering an immediate cease-fire. She added that negotiating a cease-fire would be counter-productive at present! The international community has noted America’s lethargy and unwillingness to act in the present circumstances. The world is aware however that Israel would not have pursued its present hostile course without consent from Washington; Rice’s inaction and firm dismissal of any hope of a brokered cease-fire spells very clearly the relationship between Washington and Tel Aviv. ... read full story / add a comment

At long last, the Bolivarian republic of Venezuela will take its place at the League of Arab states. This is a diplomatic coup for the Latin American state, considering its not arabic or even remotely Islamic. Only a great leader such as Hugo Chavez and his minister for African affairs Reinaldo Bolivar could have achieved such. Though detractor are quick to point out that Venezuela will at first only be an "observer state" at the League's meetings and as such won't have any power to vote or present resolutions - but the important news is this :- Hugo Chavez will get to stand in the family photos. ... read full story / add a comment

This article brings to attention two articles relating to the real aims of the US backed Israeli war against Lebanon. The first discusses the backdrop of geopolitical events preceeding it and explains that this war had in fact been planned well in advance and the two soldiers being kidnapped was merely a trigger. The second article dissects the private conversation between Bush and Blair caught on microphone at the G8 summit. ... read full story / add a comment

"Ó Brádaigh is a traditional republican who is no more a ‘dissident’ than Cathal Brugha was an ‘irregular’ in 1922. He claims to be the president not of a ‘splinter group’ but of the same Sinn Féin formed by Arthur Griffith and subsequently abandoned by Griffith himself, Eamon de Valera, Seán MacBride, Tomás Mac Giolla and Gerry Adams, who all broke the party’s constitution and rules. To take the most recent example, according to section 1b of the Sinn Féin constitution in 1986, proposals supporting entry into Leinster House were banned. Before the Adams leadership put forward a motion to enter Leinster House, they needed to change section 1b by a majority vote. They did not do so, and thus broke the existing Sinn Féin constitution and rules. ... read full story / add a comment

21 years ago the British government under Margaret Thatcher and Home Secretary Leon Brittan tried to force the BBC to ban a 'Real Lives' documentary that featured Martin McGuinness of Sinn Fein and Gregory Campbell of the DUP. The British government had no problem with Campell, it was the depiction of Martin McGuinness that they objected to. ... read full story / add a comment

The attention of the world has once again been drawn to the Middle East, to a group of waring tribes. Today however, we witness a ‘new’ warfare, a type promoted by the Zionists Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz. This new warfare is a composite ‘solution’, an amalgam of the permanent revolution/war doctrine of Lev Bronstein (Trotsky); the tactics of Henry Kissinger (carpet bomber of three million innocent Indo-Chinese civilians) and Leo Strauss, whose exclusivist/elitist philosophy lies behind the events of 9/11, the anthrax letters and the rise of ‘terrorism’ – the new public enemy designed to replace the defunct bogeyman of communism! ... read full story / add a comment

It appears as though Coca Cola are scouring UCD looking for at least one society to whore themselves out for sponsorship money in order to run yet another referendum. It's alledged that QSoc are the most likely to be targeted by the polyester pimps with a referendum being held at the same time as the class rep elections. It wouldn't be the first time that Coke has used a society in order to try and get the referendum (or two) overturned. Full story at link below: ... read full story / add a comment

This short paper does not pretend to a thorough analysis, however, it is hoped that the few indications would suffice both to verify assertions and to indicate a rich direction for further research. Innocence implies a lack of guilt or blamelessness; the images humans readily associate with the concept of innocence are those of infants, suckling babes, children and the newborn. A species tends to identify and place value on itself. In contrast to instinctive emotions we have the superimposition of cultural values/demands. Religion is the traditional repository and medium of constructed/cultural values. A cursory analysis would reveal that cultural values are not usually compatible with strong instinctive emotions. The value placed on the lives of defenceless children, infants and the newborn will be the criteria utilised to easily prove our assertions. ... read full story / add a comment

The contrast between the protests at the G8 in Edinburgh 2005 and in St Petersburg 2006 could not be more stark. Last year we saw New Labour government ministers turning up at Live8 protests and concerts. This year 1billion Euro has been spent on all aspect of the G8 conference including a very significant security budget. ... read full story / add a comment |
