A great moral victory for anti-car activists such as critical mass types & reclaim the streets sorts has just been reported. The Pontifical Council for Migrants and Itinerant People (of the Holy See - Vatican) has issued a 36 page pamphlet entitled "Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road" which include a dinky ten guidelines already being dubbed "commandments" by cheeky secular cynical men and women of little faith in media organisations such as the BBC & Car magazine. na lig sinn i gcothú.......I'd just like to highlight the good bits - "We know that as a consequence of transgressions and negligence, 1.2 million people die each year on the roads" remarks Cardinal Renato Martino who is the Roman Catholic's man on itinerants and migrants. You'll note that itinerants covers a range of gypsies, travellers, refugees, SUV mothers of 2 and commercial travellers. ... read full story / add a comment

Two interesting pieces in the Irish Times yesterday, one an article by Lorna Siggins, the other a letter correcting the rather peculiar editorial last week, which likened the dispute in Mayo to an Ealing Comedy film. Many people inside and outside the campaign are keeping a close eye on Eamon Ryan, and wondering whether he will meet with the Shell to Sea campaign before he meets with Shell. Ryan has a supporter of Shell to Sea for a long time, and now he finds himself in charge of the project to get gas from the Corrib Field. It will be interesting to see what his reaction will be when the Gardaí use brutal tactics and start arresting protesters against Shell in Erris and in other parts of the country. The 29th of June is the second anniversary of the imprisonment of the Rossport Five. Perhaps the new minister will mark the occasion by making a statement on the current situation. ... read full story / add a comment

Max Keiser's awesome satirical film on the glamorous lifestyle of those on the front line of the War on Terrror. From luxury hotels to private jets and champagne, kidnapping and outsourcing torture on the US taxpayer can be a great way to see the world on 50,000 dollars a day.

The person/s (activists, perhaps assassins) the agencies seek in relation to the approaching APEC summit may be known to the activist and broader political community; it is therefore with extreme prejudice that we cite government failures in relation to security and policing matters. The APEC summit may become the greatest security failure in Australian history. Infiltration/undercover operations are a two-edged sword; however, that sword has been broken by anti-corruption zealots in NSW. The State now faces gaping inefficiencies and a lack of urgently required expertise. ... read full story / add a comment

Sherman Austin was arrested prior to 9/11 for operating the website RaiseTheFist.com. An anonymous poster had added a link in a comment to commonly availble information on bomb making. While Sherman was in pre-trial custody 9/11 occured and he foolishly struck a 3-month plea bargain with the prosecutor. The judge ignored the prosecutor's recommendation and tripled the sentence. Now Sherman is released and has returned to direct action activism in downtown LA involving the videotaping of cops. Yahoo!News covers the story with two video clips. ... read full story / add a comment

As the Middle East explodes in factional and sectarian conflict the neo-cons gloat, John Bolton and Condi Rice revealed U.S. policy during the South Lebanon conflict, their non-interventionist policy encouraged the slaughter of children and civilians by Israeli forces – peace is clearly of no use to American interests! What does it matter if most of the Middle East tears itself apart, America stands to gain from the mayhem and bloodshed. ... read full story / add a comment

The Assyrian International News Agency has produced a deeply troubling Genocide report regarding the Assyrian (Chaldean) Christians of Iraq. The report: Incipient Genocide: The Ethnic Cleansing of the Assyrians of Iraq portrays a systematic campaign of massacre and destruction of this indigenous population of Iraq. Through intimidation, forced conversions, murder, kidnapping, beheading of Church leaders, rape, and daily threats against their security and lives, the Assyrian Christian population in Baghdad and other major cities has dwindled from a once-thriving community to almost nothing. ... read full story / add a comment

As far as I know this story hasn't really broken in Ireland - and it certainly has a human interest dimension to it. As you can see in this youtube video between the 52nd second and the first minute and 4 seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKDdF6vfjoo the watch (Timex) which Bush was wearing disappeared during a hand-shaking session with Albanians (the only Europeans who like him). ... read full story / add a comment

I was stunned by the implications of this little story I just spotted on RTE. It seems Dublin hasn't had an IKEA before. How did you escape the stylish homogenous cheaply produced and easy to assemble look ? Will the FF/Green coalition have any influence on peoples' need or want for such furniture & interior bits and bobs? ... read full story / add a comment

"gloriajw' has written a very good article which breaks down many of the causes of alienation of women in technical groups and online communities. It was forwarded to the IMC Global women's list with the following comment: "Generally a subject covered much too little in indymedia communities, on our websites and in communication we are having with each other. With the email from Melbourne today that another collective had decided to shut down, also because they couldn't handle spam on the site, this seems even more interesting. The article is about gender, and at the same time about communication, and the anonymity of open publishing." ... read full story / add a comment |
