Concern that the Garda Reserve Force is now almost certain to be established were expressed today. Senior gardaí yesterday backed plans for a reserve force. Publicly announcing support for the Minister for Justice’s proposals for the first time, the Association of Garda Superintendents said the move would put more visible presence on the streets. President of the AGS, Superintendent Noel McLoughlin, said the scheme, which is widely opposed by rank-and-file members of the force, would enhance their capacity to respond to emergency calls. However veteran homeless campaigner Fr Peter McVerry has said the plans are "madness" see today's Daily Ireland. http://dailyireland.televisual.co.uk/home.tvt?_scope=Da...opp=1 ... read full story / add a comment

The meeting around the question: “Can Coalition With Parties of the Right Bring Real Change?” defines the CIL as an opportunist, electoralist front, attempting to reinvent labourism at a time when the Labour party may finally be committing suicide. In their attempts at pragmatism and realism they are adopting a fantasy scenario, a thousand times more unrealistic than any principled attempt to win Irish workers to revolution. ... read full story / add a comment

a little human interest thing I've found today on Italian commercial media, its a video put together by US satirists ( & I suppose pacifists ) of cut & pastes of G.W. Bush speeches so as to simulate the great wookie singing the John Lennon song "Imagine". Its worth going to the link and watching, It would even be worth copying and playing in your little nightclubs, crossroad dances, social centres, homes, and wherever ye congregate. ... read full story / add a comment

Coca-Cola is one of the most recognizable brands in the world. The company claims to adhere to the “highest ethical standards” and to be “an outstanding corporate citizen in every community we serve”. Yet Coca-Cola’s activities around the world tell a different story. Coca-Cola has been accused of dehydrating communities in its pursuit of water resources to feed its own plants, drying up farmers’ wells and destroying local agriculture. The company has also violated workers’ rights in countries such as Colombia, Turkey, Guatemala and Russia. Only through its multi-million dollar marketing campaigns can Coca-Cola sustain the clean image it craves. ... read full story / add a comment

It’ no accident that many people are finding a rekindled interest in the writings of Karl Marx; the international assault of workers wages and benefits, continued warfare, and economic instability in general are causing a revival of the buried and slandered ideas of Marxism. Many of these concepts offer tremendous insight about the origins and workings of capitalism, and thus the causes of many of society’s current problems. Needless to say, involved are immense implications for anybody interested in becoming an activist. A “Marxist” is someone who accepts some of the key points about history and society first explained by Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels, and elaborated further by the writings of Lenin, Trotsky, and many others (Stalin, Mao, etc are Marxists in name only). Unfortunately, one cannot learn about these ideas by going to college, aside from the many biased and bastardized versions of the subject. The following is a brief explanation of some of the more important concepts of Marxism. ... read full story / add a comment

Interesting call for left unity here in Daily Ireland. This time it is from a republican source. Follows on from a series previous calls from other sources on the left. Time for lovely rainbow coalition of the left GEARÓID Ó CAIREALLÁIN "But what about a rainbow coalition of the left? Just say Sinn Féin, Labour, the Green Party and the various socialists and independents like Jim Higgins (sic) and Tony Gregory got together to form a real alternative." ... read full story / add a comment

It is the overwhelming masses of China that will assert their primacy against minority government and then spill across borders into surrounding regions. Existing maps of Asia and Europe will become redundant overnight. People across the globe will be spurred into action as they drag their corrupt leaders from their lairs to face the quick judgement of the people. The bunkers deep in mountains, designed to harbour criminal elites in times of devastation, have only a finite supply of resources before the inhabitants must emerge to face the final judgement of the people; justice is patient. ... read full story / add a comment

The "Political Editor" of the Irish Independent has written an unsigned, bylineless, provo-bashing article which adulates the display of centralised military power. It is amusing that this display, which aims to project a hyper-nationalist sensibility claimed to be residing solely in FF, has been put on by a government that has surrendered national sovereign to a foreign power and allows the national territory of Ireland to be abused in an illegal war. Even more amusing is the apparent approval with which the "Minister for Justice" Michael McDowell is quoted: "We have to remember that there is one State, one Army, one Constitution." No wonder the "Political Editor" was too ashamed to put his name on it! Full article quoted below for those that don't want to log onto the website of William Martin Murphy's republican bashing rag: ... read full story / add a comment

Tel-Aviv and Washington are linked in the Middle East. That's a fact. But the importance of this link in Washington's colonial politics is being debated in the anti-imperialist movement. For the US, Jewish, anti-Zionist journalist Jeffrey Blankfort, Israeli influence is central to US policy and the anti-war movement has failed because of its inability to understand the importance of this lobby. Having developed a radical approach to this question, going so far as to deny the energy factor in the war in Iraq, Mr. Blankfort nonetheless opens interesting paths on Zionist influence in the United States. We reproduce an interview he gave to journalist Silvia Cattori. ... read full story / add a comment |
