BurningMan's blog comments on how what he characterizes as "the housebroken Left" and the right both get the story wrong about the current struggles within Nepal, specifically with regard to supposed splits in the leadership of the Maoist insurrectionary movement fighting against the monarchical government in power. ... read full story / add a comment

It’s now official, but do these admissions carry even a vestige of credibility? The US administration recently announced that it was grossly in error regarding internal intelligence assessments of the existence of WMDs in Iraq. Someone forgot to inform neo-con PR that the ‘bull’ has already wrecked the China shop. ... read full story / add a comment

The M3 will be tolled twice in County Meath. A commuter for example, traveling from north of Navan hoping to travel on the M3 to work in Lucan or south of the M50 will be forced to pay 3 tolls there and 3 tolls back—6 tolls per day, 30 per week. The entire M3 debate seems to revolve around a controversial 3km at the Hill of Tara, and the double tolling of the M3 has largely been ignored by our elected representatives in Dáil Éireann. Using the current M50 toll charge of €1.80 per car for calculation purposes you would have to pay €10.80 per day or €54.00 per week to get there and back! This is unacceptable. This is just one of many issues affecting the M3 including possible route construction delays and building across the old Dublin Navan Railway line close to Navan without putting in bridges before the M3 is built. Meath needs an M3 now, without delays or double tolls. Visit www.m3tolls.com & sign petition ... read full story / add a comment

Zimbabwe yesterday celebrated an election which polarised democratic opinion in that state, and amongst Zimbabweans 25% of whom are outside the country and were denied a vote. In addition observers from Non governmental organisations such as Amnesty had previously declared the vote would be "rigged". As it stands, an election described by Mr Mugabe as the "fairest anyone anywhere could hope for", on average less than 47% have exercised their right to vote, in secret, regardless of ethnicity, gender, creed or socio economic class... ... read full story / add a comment

"This weekend’s Irish Medical Organisation annual general meeting will give members an opportunity to vent their frustration with the Fianna Fáil/ Progressive Democrat government, which has failed to deliver the badly-needed reforms promised in the health reform programme. The new Minister for Health, Mary Harney, no doubt, will tell delegates that progress has been made on a number of key issues. But this will not be enough for the GPs, consultants, NCHDs and public health doctors, who know from first-hand experience that the health service continues to be under-resourced and badly managed." the words of the Irish Medical Times an online organ which voices opinion of the Irish Medical Organisation. ... read full story / add a comment

In 1956 M. King Hubbert predicted a moment when the world would reach a peak in oil production. Since then a debate has raged, mainly between geologists and economists, about the future of oil production and the impact this future will have on everyday life. Robert Looby interviewed leading figures from both sides of the debate. http://www.threemonkeysonline.com/threemon_article_peak_oil_production_debate.htm ... read full story / add a comment

As we know the vast majority of children on this Earth don't get fed enough. They don't even get vaccines. But in the occidental tradition, the campaign for proper nutrition has long formed a basic demand of those interested in the well being of our children. Every teacher will tell you, that their work is undermined more often than not in deprived areas by the presence of "hunger" in the classroom. Ireland as one of the richest countries in the world could do well to emulate poorer states such as the UK and Switzerland in the providing of nutritious meals to its children, and incidently employment to those who would cook those meals. ... read full story / add a comment

Right on time for the heated phase of mobilization for April 2nd, 2005, the second European Action Day, a new film is released that focuses on international resistance against refugee camps and deportation prisons. “No Lager – Nowhere” is a European Co-production, German/English, 39 minutes, Berlin 2005. Released last week, it is a 39 minute video which brings together images from various anti-lager actions that have taken place across Europe in the past. The video contains fottage from actions both outside and inside refugee and migrant detainee camps in Germany, Slovenia, Italy, Australia, the United Kingdom, France and the Netherlands. The film documents various experiences and actions from eight countries: a collection of testimonies, but mainly a patchwork of images of resistance, which should encourage and inspire to intensify and to transnationalise the struggles against the "lagerregimes".

Book worms, and students of Italian here's a new titlie which might interest you. But if you're a nutter, (like the type who climbed on to the St Peter's basilica dome last saturday and asked for a lottery for orphans) you're *not to* read it. In fact none of you are to read it. Consider it as bad for your moral development as the Da Vinci Code. If you're very talented, and related to a government member, you might like to write your own Irish take on it and get a salary in addition to your tax free income. ... read full story / add a comment |
