Stephen Lendman writes on the latest US sponsored Coup attempt, this time in Ecuador. This time it failed as did the attempts to overthrow Hugo Chavez. Stephen shows how the Bush destabilisation and removal of progressive regimes has continued under Obama. Full text at link. Post-9/11, Washington sponsored four coup d'etats. Two succeeded - most recently in Honduras in 2009 against Manuel Zelaya, and in Haiti in 2004 deposing Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Two others failed - in Venezuela in 2002 against Hugo Chavez, and on September 30 in Ecuador against Rafael Correa - so far. Two by Bush, two by Obama with plenty of time for more mischief before November 2012. ... read full story / add a comment

One Red Flag One red flag, one red flag Just one red flag can keep the spark within our hearts still burning We will not sag, nor will we lag We will not sag nor will we lag we're not for turniing (Chorus) So let's make hay, while May Day shines While May Day shines the workers spines are not for breaking And while May Day shines we'll always find While May Day shines we'll always find there's hay for making. The worker's song can keep us strong The workers song can keep us strong our day is dawning And when it dawns we'll right the wrongs When it dawns we'll right the wrongs for we are longing. The earth the moon we'll have them soon The earth the moon we'll have them soon maybe tomorrow And when that blossom blooms we'll rid the gloom When that blossom blooms we'll rid the gloom, the grief and sorrow. (repeat chorus) One red flag, one red flag, one red flag......fade. © Michael Gallagher 2005 ... read full story / add a comment

In today's world millions of dollars are being spent by people playing games in virtual worlds. Wirtland shows how part of this money may be channeled to help poor third world countries. ... read full story / add a comment

Up to 1,500 workers (Irish Times estimate) marched from Anglo-Irish Bank to the Dáil at lunchtime today. For a lunchtime event with very little publicity it was a surprisingly good turnout. The ICTU leaders had only planned for a stunt to get themselves on the TV news, their original idea was that a couple of hundred union officials and activists would provide a backdrop for David Begg or Jack O'Connor delivering a soundbite. ... read full story / add a comment |
