Two months ago www.irishrepublican.net was setup on the grounds that it would be a powerhouse of debate between republicans of all political opinions. No other forum exists were like minded republicans can exchange views and opinions. ... read full story / add a comment

A great moral victory for anti-car activists such as critical mass types & reclaim the streets sorts has just been reported. The Pontifical Council for Migrants and Itinerant People (of the Holy See - Vatican) has issued a 36 page pamphlet entitled "Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road" which include a dinky ten guidelines already being dubbed "commandments" by cheeky secular cynical men and women of little faith in media organisations such as the BBC & Car magazine. na lig sinn i gcothú.......I'd just like to highlight the good bits - "We know that as a consequence of transgressions and negligence, 1.2 million people die each year on the roads" remarks Cardinal Renato Martino who is the Roman Catholic's man on itinerants and migrants. You'll note that itinerants covers a range of gypsies, travellers, refugees, SUV mothers of 2 and commercial travellers. ... read full story / add a comment

Two interesting pieces in the Irish Times yesterday, one an article by Lorna Siggins, the other a letter correcting the rather peculiar editorial last week, which likened the dispute in Mayo to an Ealing Comedy film. Many people inside and outside the campaign are keeping a close eye on Eamon Ryan, and wondering whether he will meet with the Shell to Sea campaign before he meets with Shell. Ryan has a supporter of Shell to Sea for a long time, and now he finds himself in charge of the project to get gas from the Corrib Field. It will be interesting to see what his reaction will be when the Gardaí use brutal tactics and start arresting protesters against Shell in Erris and in other parts of the country. The 29th of June is the second anniversary of the imprisonment of the Rossport Five. Perhaps the new minister will mark the occasion by making a statement on the current situation. ... read full story / add a comment

Max Keiser's awesome satirical film on the glamorous lifestyle of those on the front line of the War on Terrror. From luxury hotels to private jets and champagne, kidnapping and outsourcing torture on the US taxpayer can be a great way to see the world on 50,000 dollars a day.

The person/s (activists, perhaps assassins) the agencies seek in relation to the approaching APEC summit may be known to the activist and broader political community; it is therefore with extreme prejudice that we cite government failures in relation to security and policing matters. The APEC summit may become the greatest security failure in Australian history. Infiltration/undercover operations are a two-edged sword; however, that sword has been broken by anti-corruption zealots in NSW. The State now faces gaping inefficiencies and a lack of urgently required expertise. ... read full story / add a comment |
