History records instances of powerful, belligerent nations invading and annexing weaker nations in their bid for world domination and plunder. Various pretexts are utilised to justify these attacks/invasions, the most familiar and infamous are the USS Liberty attack, the Tonkin Gulf incident and more recently the imaginary WMD 'threat'. These examples have one thing in common; they are all orchestrated in order to harness the public as a manageable resource to be used and abused by prevailing powers and to justify an otherwise illegal invasion or military aggression. Nations bent on world domination are extremely predictable; world domination is the folly of a powerful military and inept leadership – history is familiar with a multitude of conquering clowns known to us today as mass murderers. ... read full story / add a comment

international / politics / elections Sunday February 25, 2007 - 19:07 by John Meehan
A small number of Dáil candidates positioning themselves on the left rule out coalition with Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael, or doing side-deals. This number includes Séamus Healy (Tipperary South), a supporter of the Campaign for and Independent Left (CIL) and Joe Higgins (Dublin West) of the Socialist Party. I hope both these candidates are returned to the next Dáil, and that they are joined by like-minded deputies who will not sacrifice the left on the altar of social-liberal policies and its druids : Ahern, Kenny, Rabbitte and their colleagues. The issue may arise concretely after the May 2007 general election. Most opinion polls indicate that support for the two main conservative parties continues to fall significantly, a trend well-established since 1987. Similar problems confront the Left, worldwide.

One of the tactics that Shell have deployed in their scheme to install a huge refinery at Bellanaboy is to try and make people believe that the controversy is somehow only of interest to Mayo, that is is somehow an issue only for "locals". So it's good to see BBC Ulster covering the story. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/639...9.stm It's also interesting to see a guide for those (unlike indymedia readers) who may not have heard anything much about the campaign to get Shell to Sea. ... read full story / add a comment

The story below explains why a member of the italian Senate. Franco Turigliatto, refused to vote for the Romano Prodi Government. The leadership of Rifondazione, the Refounded Communist Party, is threatening to expel Franco from the PRC. You can email solidarity greetings to Franco Turigliatto - details are at the link http://internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?page=print_a...=1220 The rightwing behaviour of the Rifondazione leadership is a warning to Irish elected representatives positioned on the left who leave the door open to coalition with rightwing parties and implementation of a neoliberal agenda. ... read full story / add a comment |
