The Lisbon Treaty is at this time according to the Irish Times, 'In doubt' due to a big drop off in support for the re-negotiated Reform Treaty which sees the EU member states dropping the article on rights (article 3.3) and retaining for the most part the main body of the rejected Nice II Treaty. The next thing on the EU agenda is a meeting with the African nations in Lisbon toward the end of the year which aims to set in pace the economic architecture for further bi-laterals and free trade agreements which undercut these nations and have brought quality of life issues into the community airwaves and NGO's;- http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84739 ... read full story / add a comment

Tariq Ali in his Counterpunch article illumines the provenance of Pakistan's latest coup and , surprise, surprise, the US is the Svengali in the parlour: "The two institutions targeted by the Emergency are the judiciary and the lively network of independent TV stations, many of whose correspondents supply information that can never be gleaned from politicians. ... read full story / add a comment

Jamers Turley outlines the history of the WRP and how it recieved money from despots such as Saddam and went to pretend that Iraq was a democracy. This raises questions as to why the SWP support the Iran Regime and portray it as progressive. It is now indisputable that Healy was looking beyond his own members and supporters for funds. It was this that led him in 1976 to send a WRP delegation to visit the Libyan government of Mu’ammar al-Qaddafi and to request money for a new printing press. Healy himself apparently visited Libya the following year.6 It is unclear the extent to which financial assistance was ultimately procured from Qaddafi. In his investigative documents relating to the 1985 split, David North claimed over £1 million in total from Libya, Ba’athist Iraq and the Palestinian Liberation Organisation.7 ... read full story / add a comment

This other press text lets you the aware reader see the declaration which kicked off the 2007 state of Emergency in Pakistan. It's a great little number which has already spawned a comprehensive encyclopedia page on English language wikipedia & means that the chances of numerous intelligent young Pakistani or Pakistani looking people, or even intelligent older people with Pakistani surnames getting their blogs noticed or opinions published are very good. It's great to be Pakistani. General Musharraf reckons his is the way to preserve that greatness whilst other worthy Pakistani politicians are coming out of the exile woodwork to volunteer to take him on. One favoured by RTE speaking from Saudi Arabia reckons things are going to Anarchy. Lovely you might think. Time to brush up on your coup d'etat statements & know this how to fight the mad mullahs. ... read full story / add a comment

In the article blow Mark Fischer of the Weekly Worker interviews Iranian Socialist Yassamine Mather on the events which took place at the STWC conference. How do you evaluate the development of Hands Off the People of Iran so far? The idea for such a campaign has been floating around in left Iranian exile circles for some time before concrete steps were taken about nine months ago. Its progress in that relatively short space of time seems to have been pretty rapid. It has been very rapid progress. I was initially very surprised at the level of support we picked up. This has manifested itself not simply in the ‘soft’ form of people signing the founding statement, but with many people coming forward over the past few weeks to publicly associate their names with our protests against Stop the War Coalition exclusions. ... read full story / add a comment |
