Michael Parenti has written today of the Stolen Election of 2004. Confirming what many already suspected and has been reported elsewhere, Parenti's account of what happened to ballot papers, at voting centres and to US voters overseas makes stomach-churning reading. ... read full story / add a comment

For almost 2 decades I have been aware of the awesome extent of Ivana Bacik's ambition. Ivana Bacik has found the cash to put up a banner advertisement on the online version of the Irish Times, alledging that only 1 in 3 of TCD graduates voted in the last Senate elections. It appears to me, that Ivana moving on from her failure to win a seat in the European Parliament is now setting her sights on the Senate. Oh dear - whose seat is she after? Will it be David's or Shane's? For as a TCD graduate she can only seat on the education panel unless she wants to go on the rubber chicken circuit and find voters all over the country. ... read full story / add a comment

From the beginning, Shell to Sea has depended on support from the Socialist Workers Party, Sinn Féin, the Workers Solidarity Movement, the Greens, and other smaller groups, working together in a way that has been effective and efficient, all around the country. Links between various parties and groups have shown that the Left can work together cohesively. Shell to Sea has identified vulnerable TD's who will need transfers from other parties to get elected. Many politicians have fudged whether they support the scheme, implying that Shell's plans have no direct import for their constituents. News that voters in Dublin are to receive clear, concise and up to date information on the issue, bringing home the truth that the millions of euro profits from Ireland's natural gas reserves will go to big business rather than pay for improvements in services in health, education, and justice, will wake them up to the fact that they have to make public whether or not they think the "great gas giveaway" is such a good idea after all. The fact that the community in Erris are just as opposed to the plan for a giant refinery at Bellinaboy as they are to the pipeline itself, give the lie to the notion that simply re-routing the pipeline will be enough to placate protesters. The Shell to Sea Campaign says the whole scheme needs to be scrapped and the deal re-negotiated. Politicians who support this position should have no trouble making this clear. ... read full story / add a comment

An agreement with a man who calls himself a lawyer accused of sexually abusing his daughter and being criminally negligent in providing the neccessities of life recieves over 11,000 hits on website and confirms the allegations by tacit consent. This simple achievable method provides all abused women and children with a new tool to expose and get confessions from abusive mates, corrupted police , court officers, social services officials and associates. As an irrefutable method of gaining confessions from mperpetrators it is highly recommended and is totally lawful as no one can interfere with your ability to privately contract and tell the truth. ... read full story / add a comment

The US Supreme Court ruled today that Guantanamo Bay detention/torture centre was illegal (by implication) and the kangaroo military commission established to try the detainees is in breach of the Geneva Convention, well duh! Expert international lawyers stated the plain facts – illegality – of the matter from the start. Who could accuse the ‘slow to see daylight’ US court system of bias? Surely the principal pillars of American ‘justice’ could not be influenced by Bush or his neo-cons? ... read full story / add a comment

"Practically all commanders and intelligence officers considered that 90 per cent of the people were Sinn Féiners or sympathisers with Sinn Féin, and that all Sinn Féiners were murderers or sympathisers with murder. Judged by English standards, the Irish are a difficult and unsatisfactory people. Their civilisation is different and in many ways lower than that of the English. They are entirely lacking in the Englishman's respect for truth . . . Many were of a degenerate type and their methods of waging war were in the most case barbarous, influenced by hatred and devoid of courage." British intelligence assessment of the Irish People from The Record of the Rebellion Steven King's review of 'The Wind that Shakes the Barley' contains many contentious allegations. Perhaps the most extreme is that "many a Cork Protestant was murdered in pure sectarian reprisals" during the War of Independence. King attempts to portray in Cork a mirror opposite of the sectarian cauldron created by Unionism in the North of Ireland. This depiction could not be further from the truth. Evidence suggests that Protestants lived more in fear of Crown Forces reprisal than of IRA action. This was true of Protestant unionists as well as Protestant nationalists. In July 1920 Mr J.W. Biggs, a wealthy Unionist, wrote: "I feel it my duty to protest very strongly against this unfounded slander (of intolerance on the part) of our Catholic neighbours ... I have been resident in Bantry for 43 years, during 33 of which I have been engaged in business, and I have received the greatest kindness, courtesy, and support from all classes and creeds in the country". Some days after publication of these remarks Mr Biggs' business premises, valued at £20,000, were burnt down by the RIC. ... read full story / add a comment
