Extract : "An invasion is not an invasion if “we” do it, regardless of the lies that justified it and the contempt shown for international law. An occupation is not an occupation if “we” run it, no matter that the means to our “positive ends” require the violent deaths of hundreds of thousands of men, women and children, and an unnecessary sectarian tragedy. ... read full story / add a comment

Is anyone surprised? When first we heard the simplistic binary logic of “wanted dead or alive” or “you're either with us or with the terrorists” and “mission accomplished” (no connection to the real world whatsoever); WE KNEW IT WOULD BE A DISASTER. Many intelligent articles were written at that time sounding a warning, testifying to the fact – peruse this site and read for yourselves! But let’s not stop with the above lest it HAPPEN AGAIN; the moronic comment of Wolfowitz, that the Iraqi people would welcome invaders with “bouquets of flowers”, signals either total lunacy or the worst criminal liar of all time? Not to be outdone by Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld offers his ‘poetry of insanity’ for idiots and Americans, quatrains of pathology expressed in the ‘known-unknown-knowns’ of criminal deception. Not to be excluded from the unadulterated INSANITY and INCOMPETENCE is the war-whore herself, Condoleezza (status quo) Rice, of Lebanon infamy who believes that peace equates with war! ... read full story / add a comment

To whom it may concern,

I just heard today that a young guy, 15 years old, who I worked with in Nablus, Palestine this summer was shot dead on Sunday. His crime? To throw a stone. I wrote a few words and attached an article. If
you could stick it up that would be great.

Thanking you,

Cuileann

There has been a great deskilling of the present and generation of people up to the mid 40s age or so and in a recent blog article Rob Hopkins asks:

Is Peak Oil Pessimism a Generation of Men Coming to Realise How Useless They Are?

In others we are all now so skiled in practical things, is that why Peak Oil scares to many people because they realize they no longer have the skills to go back to doing more practical skills. ... read full story / add a comment

Congratulations to the Irish Daily Mail, who have put the other newspapers to shame, by their initial story and follow up coverage of the story of British collusion with acts of unionist paramilitary violence.

As the stories are not on the Daily Mail website and just so the rest of the media can see the story it is ignoring – here is the story as laid out in the Irish Daily Mail.

Everybody wins. The people of Bolivia now have a share in the profits of their own natural resources. The President is now more popular, having championed the cause of the ordinary people of his country against rich foreigners and vested interests. The energy companies can now be certain of stability, and in the long run they will still make millions.

It's not magic, it's just the application of political sense and good judgement. Will we ever see it in this country? ... read full story / add a comment
