In response to increased UN pressure to close the illegal Guantanamo Bay detention/torture centre, the Americans left no doubt, “we have no intention of closing Guantanamo Bay”. The flagrant illegality of Guantanamo Bay is lost on the Americans, or worse, stands as a defiant monument to American belligerence and unilateralism. The rest of the world can go to hell; Americans do what they want when they want, is that clear? ... read full story / add a comment

Were the hunger strikers betrayed by their representatives outside the prison? Danny Morrison wrote of Richard O'Rawe that he should have called his powerful memoir, Blanketmen, "On Another Man's Hunger Strike", cattily referring to the seminal memoirs of a previous generation of republicans, Ernie O'Malley's searing On Another Man's Wound. As more is revealed about what exactly happened during the 81 hunger strikes, who betrayed who, for what and why, it certainly appears true that a few people have made themselves on the back of 'another man's hunger strike' -- and it isn't Richard O'Rawe. ... read full story / add a comment

"So farewell the PUP, instead of PUP/UVF it's now UUP/UVF....... For the UUP to take on board a member whose party represents the UVF, a group not even on ceasefire, which deals in drugs and prostitution in loyalist districts, is... assisted suicide" With paisley's DUP up to their necks in Northern Resistance and imported South African arms where does that leave the unionist bluster about "terrorists" in government?

One of the most famous celebrity islamophobes has been exposed as a fraud and is fleeing Holland to join the payroll of the American Enterprise Institute. Cited often on Indymedia and other venues as an exemplar of feminist criticism of "islamofascists" it turns out that many details of her ordeal at the hands of Somali islamicists may be false. The fact that she is so allied to neocons ought to give pause to those that are too enthusiastic in their blanket attacks on Islam. Of course it doesn't discredit /all/ critics of Islam, or even some of her own criticisms, but it does show that such criticisms are happily amplified and exploited by sinister forces. ... read full story / add a comment

The traditional view of Irish history is based on the premise that the Irish people had a moral right to fight for their political, economic, social and cultural independence from Imperialist Britain. According to Dr. Christine Kinealy,(A New History of Ireland, This Great Calamity, etc.) an opposing view began to emerge in Ireland in the 1930s, when a number of leading Irish Academics, following the lead of earlier British historians, set an agenda for the systematic revision of traditional Irish History, which they claimed was rife with “nationalist myths”. Their declared mission was to replace this so-called mythology with objective, “value-free history”. In her essay, “Beyond Revisionism”, Dr. Kinealy says that the revisionist movement gained a new prominence in the battle for Irish hearts and minds during the 1960’s when the IRA campaign intensified: “Challenging nationalist mythology became an important ideological preoccupation of a new generation of historians”. ... read full story / add a comment

This story is referred to at: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/76019 Michael McIlveen was just 15 when he was beaten to death by loyalists in Ballymena 10 days ago. His mother, Gina, has invited her MP, the Reverend Ian Paisley, to her son's funeral. This is a gesture which is as breathtakingly generous as Gordon Wilson's when he forgave the IRA after it murdered his daughter Marie in 1987. Gina McIlveen has asked the elected leader of the majority of the Protestant people to be by her side as she buries her son, murdered by Protestants because he was a Catholic. The invitation is courageous. It also contains a challenge. She is asking the DUP to show respect. ... read full story / add a comment
