" Yet we have an understanding with the weather:
Whenever squalls end and sun returns with
Friendly fire, we would forgive it anything"

(From 'Skywriting' )

'Reality Check' was launched on the Fourth of September 2007 in the Royal College of Surgeons
and it was nice to see the luminaries and the establishment having to queue and snake through
the room to get their copy signed (!)

The book is in two sections, the first 17 short poems and series ;and the second is a beautiful
long poem called 'Skywriting' which is all about light and the sun threading his way over
our Irish map.

An International week in solidarity with Iranian Workers is being organised for November 24-30, 2007. This action is support of the Iranian People and against the Capitalist Iranian Government but is also against the US Capitalist Warmongers.

The recent wave of oppression against activists of workers' organizations in Iran and other social movements is not a new incident but a routine practice of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI). This wave of repression nevertheless has caused the radicalization and development of class-based labour protests. These conditions have jeopardized the entirety of Islamic Republic of Iran. Social and economic crises are rapidly escalating. It is a proven fact that the promises of the capitalist regime of Iran are false and that this regime has brought nothing but the continuous oppression of working people. This regime has caused ever-increasing poverty and misery for working class. ... read full story / add a comment

The Sixteen Day Campaign for stopping Violence Against Women is set for the 25th November
to the Tenth of December 2007. Lip Service and Tokenism abound here, but it is a period
that internationally women address Safety, Violence, Rape, Women's Aid and of course, how
our divided societies create a wealth class of pseudo-feminism and an opposing class
of community activism based wholly in gendered stereo-typing and money, or to be politically
correct about it how we make our daughters second class citizens by ignoring their Basic Rights.

'Particiaptory democracy' is not something we have heard much of from Labour over the last decade or two. Interesting therefore that the term should fetch up in arch pragmatist and moderniser Fergus Finlay's Irish Examiner column today. The piece was a kind of starting shot for the Labour Party conference taking place this coming weekend. ... read full story / add a comment

Delaram Ali, a Womens rights activist has been sentenced to be flogged and to serve 34 months in prison. Her "crime: demonstrating for womens Rights.

Delaram Ali has been told to present herself to court in order to start serving a prison sentence which has not formally been conveyed to her. She has been told that if she does not attend court by 10 November, she will be arrested.

There is also a risk that she will be flogged. If she is detained, Amnesty International would consider her to be a prisoner of conscience, detained solely for the peaceful exercise of her right to freedom of expression and association for her activities promoting women’s rights in Iran. The Head of the Judiciary has the power to suspend Delaram Ali’s sentence and to order a reinvestigation of the case. ... read full story / add a comment

The death Of Norman Mailer has been announced:-

and instead I want to focus on one issue about his writing and that is the Gilmore Case and the resultant book :-

'The Executioner's Song' which set a bar in documenting the issue of US capital Punishment

One of the most serious issues of European exploitation, corrupt Charity activity & international relations Monday last saw Sarkozy play his "Super Sarko" role in a headline grabbing stunt the reaction to which has already bolstered calls for November 30th to be declared "No Sarko in Media Day". The government of Chad (in Africa) has started taking against so-called "charity" agencies who are accused of trafficking in children by arranging their adoption by European parents without the consent of their natural parents or surviving family or wards. This is a very big story which touches many other very important issues. In the last week both French & Spanish citizens were held in Chad under charges of "child-trafficking". The Spaniards included pilot, co-pilot and cabin crew of the jet on which the children would have been flown out of the state by the "Zoe's Ark" charity.
