Philip Ruddock, Australian Attorney General, announced today that a broader range of people in the Australian community (non-Muslims) are to be targeted as “terrorists!” Ruddock also stated that persons who are not ‘terrorists’ need not be alarmed as his new wider classification should not concern ‘them’(?) Australian citizens are left to conclude that the determination of who exactly is a terrorist has become an arbitrary prerogative of the Attorney General and his gang of enforcers! Whatever happened to due process, innocent until PROVEN guilty? {God help that journalist who stepped on Ruddock’s toe, he will be the first to go!) It is not coincidental that the Bush regime also found due process to be an inconvenience. Ruddock’s logic and methods reek of neo-con methods, Guantanamo (Torture) Bay and Bush regime criminal methodologies have found expression in Oz. ... read full story / add a comment

Bruising some murderous scumbags ego led to an innocent man's brutal murder. The scumbags who murdered him are known as the Coca-Cola gang, (which clearly demonstrates their level of intellectual and political prowess), and the reason they killed him was because he stood up against them and their plan to subdue the entire community under their jackboot. . These are the representatives of a group who declare that they are representative of true Ireland, a 32 county republic, etc. What these peope really need is some Thorazine, in in my opinion, and perhaps some electro shock therapy. ... read full story / add a comment

Remembering the desperate on 9/11 Nearly 90 poets from around the world, including Irish poets, Dave Lordan, Nigel McLoughlin, Kevin Higgins & Patrick Chapman, have contributed to Babylon Burning: 9/11 five years on, an anthology of poems on the Twin Towers atrocity and its consequences. But they aim for more than pious hand-wringing: the anthology will be free, but there will be a request to donate to the Red Cross. ... read full story / add a comment

It is becoming more evident each day; the real target of new draconian laws and policies is not the (fabricated) terrorist ‘threat’, it is the domestic population – the enemy is you! The initial indicator (for this writer) was Section 543 of the Australian Defence Forces manual, which describes attack strategies against civilians and local populations – it should not be forgotten that Australia is a micro version and imitator of the USA and to a lesser extent the UK. ... read full story / add a comment

When the IRA split in December 1969 the dissidents set up a
Provisional Army Council until a proper IRA convention could
re-constitute the organisation. That convention took place in
September 1970 but by then the name 'Provisional' or 'Provo' had stuck
and was used as shorthand by both supporters and the media, despite
the distaste some veterans in the Movement had for that term. ... read full story / add a comment

Natascha Kampusch told viewers of Austrian television what it's like to be locked in a cellar for 10 years tonight. She's gone global. In fact she's top of the ratings. Natascha was all but forgotten about by Austrians a decade ago, but now reproduction and syndication rights of her interview have been traded worldwide. Each country & language giving it's own spin & peculiar title. I phoned my local television station which airs the interview tomorrow to complain at its choice of title which in English is "Natasha's confessions". ... read full story / add a comment

The management of Royal Dutch Shell has more than met its match in the current no-holds-barred "negotiation" with the Kremlin over potential profits from the $20 billion Sakhalin II project in Russia. Little interest is being paid however by either party to the fate of the endangered Whale population. ... read full story / add a comment

A report by Israel’s National Insurance Institute shows that another 100,000 people fell below the poverty line in Israel bringing the total impoverished to 1.6m or 24.7% of the population. The report also indicated that Israel at 35% had the highest child poverty rate amongst capitalist countries. Much of this has been caused by various cutbacks in social spending from previous military adventures with further cuts planned as a result of the most recent war in Lebanon. Unemployment is also running at 9%. ... read full story / add a comment

Workers at the National Aquatic Centre have served notice of industrial action, it was revealed this afternoon. The latest development stems from a dispute between the company which runs the centre, Dublin Waterworld, and SIPTU. The company has refused to recognise SIPTU union membership. The union has claimed that four people were wrongfully dismissed from the company, including three of its members. The action will take the form of a ban on overtime, a work to rule and unannounced short work stoppages. ... read full story / add a comment |
