The title of this story might intrigue some and put others off but I can think of no other way to report on the mass media news spin which Spanish people & then various westerners learnt today of the charges of treason brought against a former employee of the Spanish secret service. As we must have noticed by now, things are changing on the geopolitical stage & media manipulation as much as exposure is increasingly pointing to the end of any entente between the former Soviet Union or its citizens and NATO or its dependents. ... read full story / add a comment
international / anti-war / imperialism Wednesday July 25, 2007 - 10:51 by Yassamine Mather
This article is based on a speech given by Yassamine Mather of Workers Left Unity Iran at a Marxism 2007 fringe meeting. It explores the position socialists should take in light of both US aggression towards Iran and the Iranian Regimes onslaught against the working class of Iran. Anti-imperialism and Tehran Every day the media publish unattributed briefings by US generals and Pentagon sources regarding Iran’s connections to Al Qa’eda, the Taliban and various other terror groups. Most of the media briefings contain no details of substance and many simply repeat previous accusations. However, they are undoubtedly intended to keep tensions ratcheted up, and there is no doubt that the danger of an extension of the current sanctions against Tehran and of limited military action by the US or Israel is very real... ... read full story / add a comment

"In the early morning of 21st July, neo-nazi skinheads launched a vicious and unprovoked attack on an anti-nuclear protest camp in Angarsk, Siberia, Russia. The nazis violently attacked activists in their sleeping bags and tents with iron rods, knives and air pressure guns. 21 year old Ilya Borodaenko from Nachodka suffered a head-fracture during the attack and later died in hospital from his injuries. At least nine others have been reported to be seriously injured, one of which has had both their legs broken. Tents were set on fire and several belongings were stolen." ... read full story / add a comment

Bertie Gormley our new minister for Dublin 6W has flown his first kite (as feeble mid-week press releases aimed at popular opinion & concern are known in the trade). & what a load of sticky bollox it is too. Gormley wants to increase "on-the-spot" fines for littering from 125eu to 150eu & is considering asking the producers of Chewing Gum to increase their environmental awareness spending on proper disposal of the by-product of the petrol industry to a whopping 2 million. Oh sorry did I say "whopping"? Now let's remind ourselves that whilst Gardai monitoring Salafists at the Custom House wear bullet proof vests large companies up and down the country are illegally dumping poisonous waste removed from dubious sites. And we probably don't have the resources to reduce the gummy menace on two million alone. It's pittance. Sure a Green deputy could forget he inherited just short of that on Oil Corp shares. Lets Stamp out Gum! ... read full story / add a comment

One of the most controversial inquiries of the Troubles, involving claims that police officers in Northern Ireland secretly adopted a "shoot to kill" policy, has been reopened, the Guardian has learned. The allegations that republican terrorist suspects were deliberately killed rather than being arrested led to an investigation by John Stalker, then deputy chief constable of Manchester, in the mid 1980s. But his report was never published, and there was political uproar after he was removed from his post just at the point where he believed he was about to obtain an MI5 tape of one of the shootings. ... read full story / add a comment
